• By geographic region, 39% of revenue was generated in North America, 24% was generated in Europe, 32% was generated in the United Kingdom and 5% was generated in the rest of the world in Q2 FY2025.

OUTLOOK:

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025:

Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £198.0 million to £200.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue increase of between 13.0% and 14.0% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.31 to £0.32 per share.

Full Fiscal Year 2025:

Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £795.0 million to £800.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue increase of between 8.5% and 9.0% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £1.20 to £1.23 per share.

This above guidance for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2025 assumes the exchange rates on January 31, 2025 (when the exchange rate was 1 British Pound to 1.24 US Dollar and 1.20 Euro).

Endava is not able, at this time, to reconcile its expectations for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2025 for a rate of revenue growth or decline 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 losses / (gains), net, 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.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM:

Endava's Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its Class A ordinary shares (in the form of American Depositary Shares) as part of Endava’s evolving approach to capital allocation. As Endava is a UK-incorporated company, execution of the share repurchase program is subject to shareholder approval, which we intend to seek at a general meeting to be held on or around March 14, 2025. The shareholder authorization, if approved, will be valid for five years.

The Company intends to fund the share repurchases through a combination of cash generated from operations and drawing debt funding through its revolving credit facility. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company under the share repurchase program, if any, is not guaranteed, including whether the Company utilizes the full $100 million approved by the Board of Directors. Depending on market conditions and other factors, and following receipt of shareholder approval, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or periodically without prior notice.

The Company may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the discretion of management, depending on market conditions and other factors.

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 growth/(decline) rate at constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow.

Revenue growth/(decline) 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 December 31, 2023 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.

Adjusted profit before tax ("Adjusted PBT") is defined as the Company’s profit 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, net, restructuring costs, and fair value movement of contingent consideration, all of which are non-cash items except for realised foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, net. Our Adjusted PBT margin is our Adjusted PBT as a percentage of our total revenue.

Adjusted profit for the period is defined as Adjusted PBT less the adjusted tax charge for the period. The adjusted tax charge is the tax charge adjusted for the tax impact of the adjustments to PBT and the release of the deferred tax liability relating to Romanian withholding tax.

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). Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to be a measure of residual cash available for management's discretionary use since it omits significant sources and uses of cash flow, including mandatory debt repayments and changes in working capital.

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.
