Genpact's (G) Q3 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Genpact Limited (G - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2017 non-GAAP earnings of 46 cents per share, which increased 23% on a year-over-year basis. The figure also came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents per share.
Revenues of $708.8 million increased 9% (up 10% on a constant currency basis) from the year-ago quarter. Revenues also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $686 million.
The company’s recently launched artificial intelligence (AI) - based platform called Genpact Cora and its recent acquisitions of AI and design thinking based companies such as Tandem Seven are proving to be beneficial for the top line.
Management was particularly optimistic about the positive response to Genpact’s newly launched tagline, "Transformation happens here." Genpact stock has gained 24.1% year-to-date substantially outperforming the 4.3% rally of the industry it belongs to.
Quarter Details
Total BPO revenues (82% of total revenues) increased 10% year over year to $583 million. Total IT services revenues (18% of total revenues) were up 6% year over year to $126 million.
Global Client (90% of total revenue) revenues increased 13% (14% at constant currency) to $637 million driven by the strong performance of transformation services (comprising of consulting, digital and analytics segments), which witnessed year-over-year growth of 25% and represented almost 20% of Global Client revenues.
Global Client BPO segment revenues of $541 million recorded 15% (16% at constant currency) growth backed by robust performance of industry verticals like insurance, banking, manufacturing, CPG, high tech, life sciences, finance and accounting. Global Client IT revenues were up 2% year over year to $96 million.
Global Client IT revenues were up 2% year over year to $97 million, driven by stabilizing investment banking industry. The industry has been facing challenging business conditions over the past several quarters.
Revenues from General Electric (GE - Free Report) represented around 10% of total revenues and fell 15% during the quarter to $72 million. Management noted that the company is on track to meet the expected annual revenue figures from GE. GE BPO revenues decreased 30% year over year to $43 million. GE IT revenues of $30 million increased 21% from the year-ago quarter.
Gross margin was 39.5%, in line with the year-ago quarter, owing to favorable product mix.
During the third quarter, the company generated $148 million in cash from operations. In the third quarter, the company returned around $12 million to shareholders via quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share.
Guidance
For full-year 2017, revenues are now anticipated in the range of $2.72–$2.73 billion. Net foreign exchange adverse impact is now expected to be approximately $15 million. This expected figure will represent growth of 6% or 7% on a constant currency basis.
Global Client revenues for 2017 are now expected to grow approximately 9% (10% on a constant currency basis).
Non-GAAP operating income margin is expected to be 15.7%. Earnings are anticipated to come in the range of $1.59–$1.60 per share.
Conclusion
Genpact’s domain expertise in business analytics, digital and consulting sectors is a key catalyst for the company’s growth.
Notably, management is positive about the growing pipeline on the back of increasing adoption of the company’s transformation services. The enthusiastic approach of the C-level of different companies in transforming business models through digital, data and analytics is turning out to be a positive for the company.
Additionally, supply chain management is another sector where the company has growth opportunities. Being recognized as one of the top three leaders in supply chain management by The Everest Group is another positive.
We believe its diverse portfolio, enhanced by the offerings of the acquired organizations, will provide Genpact with a competitive advantage against peers like Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH - Free Report) and Accenture plc (ACN - Free Report) .
Zacks EVP Kevin Matras believes this familiar stock has only just begun its climb to become one of the greatest investments of all time. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in pure genius.
