EPAM Systems (EPAM) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
EPAM Systems (EPAM - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 5.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 10.4%. EPAM surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.02 billion, suggesting growth of 30.6% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings stands at $1.85 per share, indicating an increase of 2.2% from the $1.81 reported in the year-ago period.
Factors to Note
EPAM’s first-quarter performance is likely to have been severely impacted by the discontinuation of its business in Russia following the Kremlin forces invasion of Ukraine. The company has significant exposure in the region, with the majority of its delivery centers in Central and Eastern Europe (“CEE”). The company’s largest delivery centers are in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. It had approximately 9,000 and 14,000 employees in Russia and Ukraine, respectively.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, revenues from CEE were $55 million (accounting for 5% of total revenues). In fiscal 2021, EPAM generated $168 million of revenues from CEE. However, the ongoing conflict is likely to have hurt the company’s revenues and profitability from this region.
Citing uncertainties and regional impacts resulting from military actions in Ukraine, in late February, the company withdrew its first-quarter and 2022 financial guidance. Earlier, the company expected revenues between $1.170 billion and $1.180 billion in the first quarter, suggesting year-over-year growth of 50% at the midpoint. Non-GAAP earnings were expected in the band of $2.58-$2.66 per share.
Supply-chain constraints are predicted to have weighed on EPAM’s first-quarter performance.
However, EPAM’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strong demand for its services, driven by the accelerated digital modernization across several industries in continued response to economic changes post COVID-19.
