GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.45, up 55% year-over-year
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.72, up 18% year-over-year

Newtown, PA - May 5, 2016 - EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a leading global provider of product development and software engineering solutions, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

“We are pleased with our strong Q1 results, which put us on the right path to deliver our 2016 financial performance goals,” said Arkadiy Dobkin, CEO and President, EPAM. “In addition to our traditional software engineering capabilities, we continue to see a strong demand for multidisciplinary hybrid teams who can solve increasingly complex digital business challenges. With a focus on expanding our integrated industry, design, data and advanced technology offerings, we expect to see more opportunities to bring differentiated value to our clients."

First Quarter 2016 Highlights
Revenues increased to a record $264.5 million, a year-over-year increase of $64.4 million, or 32.2%;
In constant currency, revenue was up 34.5% year-over-year;
GAAP income from operations was $30.3 million, an increase of 32.9% compared to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2015;
Non-GAAP income from operations was $43.0 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 28.6%, from $33.4 million in the first quarter of 2015;
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP basis was $0.45, an increase from $0.29 in the first quarter of 2015;
Non-GAAP quarterly diluted EPS was $0.72 compared to $0.61 in the first quarter of 2015;
The tax effect of the GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments is $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. Including the tax effect in non-GAAP diluted EPS would result in non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.66 for the first quarter of 2016 and $0.52 for the first quarter of 2015.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash from operations was $10.9 million for the first quarter 2016, up from $6.9 million or 58.1%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015;
As of March 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $244.9 million.
Other Metrics
As of March 31, 2016, total headcount was 19,520, an increase of 33.9% from 14,580 at March 31, 2015;
Total number of delivery professionals increased 35.4% to 17,150 in the first quarter of 2016 from 12,670 in the first quarter of 2015.






2016 Outlook - Full Year and Second Quarter
Based on current conditions, EPAM expects:
Full Year
Year-over-year revenue growth to be at least 26%, net of currency headwinds estimated at 3%, meaning constant currency growth of 29%;
Full year GAAP diluted EPS will be at least $2.05, with an effective tax rate of approximately 21%;
The full year weighted average share count is expected to be approximately 53.6 million diluted shares outstanding and full year non-GAAP diluted EPS will be at least $3.20;
Beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we will only provide non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance after adjusting for the tax effect on the GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments. The full year tax effect on 2016 non-GAAP adjustments is expected to be $12.6 million resulting in non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.97.
Second Quarter
Revenues will be at least $280 million for the second quarter of 2016, representing a growth rate of at least 28.6% over second quarter 2015 revenues. This includes 3% anticipated currency headwinds, meaning constant currency growth of at least 31%;
Second quarter 2016 GAAP diluted EPS to be at least $0.46;
Second quarter 2016 non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be at least $0.70, which includes the tax effect from adjustments and is based on an estimated second quarter 2016 weighted average share count of 53.2 million diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in EPAM’s business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing EPAM’s business and evaluating its performance. Management also believes these measures help investors compare EPAM’s operating performance with its results in prior periods. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results, including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation expense, write-off and recovery, amortization of purchased intangible assets, goodwill impairment, legal settlement, foreign exchange gains and losses, and acquisition-related costs. Because EPAM’s reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated according to GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures reported by other companies within EPAM’s industry. Consequently, EPAM’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but, rather, should be considered together with the information in EPAM's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared according to GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes statements which may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the accuracy of which are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied include general economic conditions and the factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. EPAM undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.
