Revenue in the fourth quarter was $243.9 million, representing a 1.8% decrease versus Q4 of last year and a 2.3% increase from the previous quarter. Revenue less repair payments* in the fourth quarter was $228.3 million, a decrease of 3.2% year-over-year and an increase of 1.7% sequentially. Excluding exchange rate impacts, constant currency revenue less repair payments* in the fiscal fourth quarter was down 6.0% versus Q4 of last year and up 0.3% sequentially. Year-over-year, fiscal Q4 revenue was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic including lower volume requirements from certain clients and service delivery constraints resulting from the transition to a “work from home” delivery model. These headwinds more than offset the year-over-year revenue growth driven by new client additions, the expansion of existing relationships, and currency movements net of hedging. Sequentially, revenue improvement was driven by broad-based revenue growth and currency movements net of hedging, which more than offset a reduction in short-term revenue.
 
Profit in the fiscal fourth quarter was $27.5 million, as compared to $29.5 million in Q4 of last year and $31.0 million in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, profit reduced as a result of lower revenue driven by pandemic-related pressures and reduced high margin short-term revenue. Additional profit reductions included business continuity costs, higher share-based compensation expense, and a higher effective tax rate driven by the geographic mix of profit. These headwinds were partially offset by a non-recurring $4.1 million charge for goodwill impairment taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, reductions in travel, facility-related and discretionary expenditures associated with the COVID pandemic, and favorable currency movements net of hedging. Sequentially, Q4 profit decreased as a result of reduced high margin short-term revenue, increased facility-related expenses, and additional compensation costs including hiring in advance of revenue and employee promotions. These headwinds were partially offset by increased revenue, a non-recurring benefit of $0.8 million for interest income associated with a tax refund, and favorable currency movements net of hedging.
 
Adjusted net income (ANI)* in Q4 was $36.7 million, as compared to $42.4 million in Q4 of last year and $41.0 million in the previous quarter. Explanations for the ANI* movements on a year-over-year and sequential basis are the same as described for GAAP profit above with the exception of goodwill impairment, amortization of intangible expenses, share-based compensation costs and associated tax impacts, which are excluded from ANI*.
 
From a balance sheet perspective, WNS ended Q4 with $395.2 million in cash and investments and $16.7 million of debt. In the fourth quarter, the company generated $75.6 million in cash from operations, incurred $5.6 million in capital expenditures, and made scheduled debt payments of $8.4 million. WNS also repurchased 694,716 ADSs at an average price of $73.61 per ADS, which impacted Q4 cash by $50.9 million dollars. Fourth quarter days sales outstanding were 30 days, as compared to 31 days reported in Q4 of last year and 34 days in the previous quarter.
 
“In the fiscal fourth quarter, WNS delivered solid financial results, posting healthy revenue, margin and free cash flow. While our full year results were adversely impacted by the global pandemic, we are pleased with our overall execution in a very difficult environment and our business momentum exiting the fiscal year,” said Keshav Murugesh, WNS’s Chief Executive Officer. “During fiscal 2021, WNS was able to quickly adapt our delivery to a “work from home” model and maintain support for our clients’ core, mission-critical processes. In addition, the company continued to add new clients and expand existing relationships at a healthy pace, helping drive revenue growth and margin expansion as the year progressed. We believe this clearly demonstrates WNS’ differentiated positioning in the market, the strategic importance of our solutions, and the resiliency of the BPM model. We are also extremely proud of the fact that we were able to achieve these results while protecting the safety and welfare of our more than 40,000 global employees, and continuing the strategic investment programs necessary to drive long-term sustainable value for all of our key stakeholders.”
 
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the global economy, our clients’ businesses, and on WNS’s operations, financials, and visibility. Revenue has been pressured by lower client volumes, delays in new business ramps, client concessions, and facility lockdowns which impact service delivery. WNS is actively working to manage our clients’ changing requirements, adapt our service delivery models, ensure data security, and manage costs. In the fiscal fourth quarter, the company delivered over 99% of our clients’ requirements. Going forward, impacts to our financial performance will be a function of how long the COVID-19 pandemic lasts on a global basis, and how long it takes our clients’ businesses to stabilize and recover.
 
Fiscal 2022 Guidance
WNS is providing guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 as follows:
 
  • Revenue less repair payments* is expected to be between $945 million and $997 million, up from $868.7 million in fiscal 2021. Fiscal 2022 guidance assumes an average GBP to USD exchange rate of 1.38 versus 1.31 in fiscal 2021.
  • ANI* is expected to range between $152 million and $164 million versus $141.7 million in fiscal 2021. Fiscal 2022 guidance assumes an average USD to INR exchange rate of 74.00 versus 74.25 in fiscal 2021.
  • Based on a diluted share count of 51.1 million shares, the company expects fiscal 2022 adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS to be in the range of $2.98 to $3.21 versus $2.72 in fiscal 2021.

“The company has provided our initial forecast for fiscal 2022 based on current visibility levels and exchange rates,” said Sanjay Puria, WNS’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our guidance for the full year reflects growth in revenue less repair payments* of 9% to 15%, or 7% to 13% on a constant currency* basis. We currently have 90% visibility to the midpoint of the range, consistent with April guidance in previous years. For the year, we expect capital expenditures of up to $35 million.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information in this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe more accurately reflect our core operating performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP operating results are included below. A more detailed discussion of our GAAP results is contained in “Part I –Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 1, 2020.
 
For financial statement reporting purposes, WNS has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPM and WNS Auto Claims BPM. Revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as (a) revenue less (b) in the auto claims business, payments to repair centers for “fault” repair cases where WNS acts as the principal in its dealings with the third party repair centers and its clients. WNS believes that revenue less repair payments for “fault” repairs reflects more accurately the value addition of the business process management services that it directly provides to its clients. For more details, please see the discussion in “Part I – Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview” in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 1, 2020.
 
Constant currency revenue less repair payments is a non-GAAP financial measure. We present constant currency revenue less repair payments so that revenue less repair payments may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency revenue less repair payments is presented by recalculating prior period’s revenue less repair payments denominated in currencies other than in US dollars using the foreign exchange rate used for the latest period, without taking into account the impact of hedging gains/losses. Our non-US dollar denominated revenues include, but are not limited to, revenues denominated in pound sterling, South African rand, Australian dollar and Euro.
 
WNS also presents or discusses (1) adjusted operating margin, which refers to adjusted operating profit (calculated as operating profit / (loss) excluding goodwill impairment, share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets) as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (2) ANI, which is calculated as profit excluding goodwill impairment, share-based expense and amortization of intangible assets and including the tax effect thereon, (3) Adjusted net income margin, which refers to ANI as a percentage of revenue less repair payments, (4) net cash, which refers to cash and cash equivalents plus investments less long-term debt (including the current portion) and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release as supplemental measures of its performance. WNS presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they assist investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and those it believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. In addition, it uses these non-GAAP financial measures (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for WNS’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.
 
The company is not able to provide our forward-looking GAAP revenue, profit and earnings per ADS without unreasonable efforts for a number of reasons, including our inability to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the payments to repair centers, our future share-based compensation expense under IFRS 2 (Share Based payments), amortization of intangibles associated with future acquisitions, goodwill impairment and currency fluctuations. As a result, any attempt to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking GAAP financial measures (revenue, profit, earnings per ADS) to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (revenue less repair payments*, ANI* and Adjusted diluted earnings* per ADS, respectively) would imply a degree of likelihood that we do not believe is reasonable.
