DXC Technology (DXC) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
DXC Technology (DXC - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Feb 2.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the company anticipates revenues between $4.08 billion and $4.13 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues stands at $4.10 billion, indicating a year-over-year decline of 4.4%.
DXC anticipates non-GAAP earnings to come in at 88-93 cents per share. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 92 cents per share, suggesting a 9.5% year-over-year increase.
The company’s earnings outpaced estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 20.1%.
Factors to Note
DXC’s fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strength in the digital business and partnerships that are helping it expand in the cloud computing space. Increased information technology (“IT”) spending is anticipated to have contributed to the top line in the quarter to be reported.
DXC’s fiscal third-quarter top line is, however, likely to reflect the negative impact of price concessions, previous business terminations, and runoffs. Apart from this, a weak traditional business might have weighed on the to-be-reported quarter's performance. Nevertheless, sequential revenue stabilization is expected to have continued.
Margins are anticipated to have witnessed sequential expansion during the period in discussion, primarily driven by the company’s cost-saving initiatives and lower interest expenses. DXC projects adjusted EBIT margin in the range of 8.6-8.9% in the third quarter.
The company anticipates reporting a book-to-bill of more than 1.0 during the third quarter. DXC is likely to witness an approximately $33 million reduction in interest expenses chiefly driven by the refinancing of high rate bonds.
However, a $60 million non-recurring cash payment to legacy vendor and a $90 million non-recurring cash payment related to COVID relief legislation might have weighed on DXC’s free cash flow in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
