London, U.K. – Endava plc (NYSE: DAVA) ("Endava" or the "Company"), a leading technology services company combining world-class engineering, industry expertise and a people-centric mindset, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal year ("Q3 FY2024").
"Our revenue of £174.4 million for Q3 FY2024 was within our guidance, representing a decrease of 11.8% in constant currency year over year. The overall demand environment remains challenging but stable and we are seeing signs of increasing discretionary spending. Client behaviour is stabilising but sales cycles remain elongated,” said John Cotterell, Endava's CEO.

•Loss for the period was £(1.7) million, resulting in a diluted earnings/(loss) per share ("EPS") of £(0.03), compared to profit of £24.4 million and diluted EPS of £0.42 in the same period in the prior year.
•Adjusted profit for the period (a non-IFRS measure)* was £12.7 million, resulting in adjusted diluted EPS (a non-IFRS measure)* of £0.22, compared to adjusted profit for the period of £34.1 million and adjusted diluted EPS of £0.59 in the same period in the prior year.

* Definitions of the non-IFRS measures used by the Company and a reconciliation of such measures to the related IFRS financial measure can be found under the sections below titled “Non-IFRS Financial Information” and “Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Measures to Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
OTHER METRICS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2024:
•Headcount totaled 11,025 at March 31, 2024, with an average of 10,127 operational employees in Q3 FY2024, compared to a headcount of 11,742 at March 31, 2023 and an average of 10,818 operational employees in the same period in the prior year.
•Number of clients with over £1 million in revenue on a rolling twelve-month basis was 142 at March 31, 2024, compared to 155 clients at March 31, 2023.
•Top 10 clients accounted for 34% of revenue in Q3 FY2024, compared to 33% in the same period in the prior year.
•By geographic region, 30% of revenue was generated in North America, 28% was generated in Europe, 35% was generated in the United Kingdom and 7% was generated in the rest of the world in Q3 FY2024. This compares to 32% in North America, 24% in Europe, 38% in the United Kingdom and 6% in the Rest of the World in the same period in the prior year.
•By industry vertical, 24% of revenue was generated from Payments, 14% from Banking and Capital Markets (BCM), 9% from Insurance, 24% from Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT), 10% from Mobility, and 19% from Other in Q3 FY2024. This compares to 29% from Payments, 16% from BCM, 8% from Insurance, 21% from TMT, 11% from Mobility, and 15% from Other in the same period in the prior year.
OUTLOOK:
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2024:
Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £195.0 million to £197.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue growth of between 3.5% and 4.5% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.22 to £0.23 per share.
Full Fiscal Year 2024:
Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £741.0 million to £743.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue decrease of between 4.5% and 4.0% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £1.13 to £1.14 per share.
This above guidance for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024 assumes the exchange rates on April 30, 2024 (when the exchange rate was 1 British Pound to 1.25 US Dollar and 1.17 Euro).
Endava is not able, at this time, to reconcile its expectations for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024 for a rate of revenue decrease at constant currency or adjusted diluted EPS to their respective most directly comparable IFRS measures as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, restructuring costs and fair value movement of contingent consideration, as applicable. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Endava's results computed in accordance with IFRS.
The guidance provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS:
The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 am ET today, May 23, 2024, to review its Q3 FY2024 results.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
To supplement Endava’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses non-IFRS measures of certain components of financial performance in this press release. These measures include revenue (decrease)/growth rate at constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow.
Revenue (decrease)/growth rate at constant currency is calculated by translating revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into British Pounds using the comparable foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period. For example, the average currency rates in effect for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.
Adjusted profit before tax ("Adjusted PBT") is defined as the Company’s profit/(loss) before tax adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, realised and unrealised foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, restructuring costs and fair value movement of contingent consideration, all of which are non-cash items except for the restructuring costs and realised foreign currency exchange (gains)/ losses.
Adjusted profit for the period is defined as Adjusted PBT less the tax charge for the period adjusted for the tax impact of the adjustments to PBT.
Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted profit for the period, divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted.
Adjusted free cash flow is the Company’s net cash from operating activities, plus grants received, less net purchases of non-current assets (tangible and intangible).
Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the Company's business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the Company's business and evaluating its performance. Management also believes the presentation of its non-IFRS financial measures enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS, and its non-IFRS measures may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Investors should review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures to the comparable IFRS financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

3 This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this presentation, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, we assume no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry.

This presentation includes non-IFRS financial measures which have certain limitations and should not be considered in isolation, or as alternatives to or substitutes for, financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS measures as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non- IFRS measures presented by other companies. Our presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non-recurring items.
