LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Endava (NYSE: DAVA), a global provider of digital transformation, agile development and intelligent automation services, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended June 30, 2018 and for its fiscal year 2018.

We are pleased with our fourth quarter results which reflected strength with existing customers as well as new. The integration of Velocity Partners in North America is proceeding smoothly,” said John Cotterell, Endava’s CEO.

“Our strong client relationships contributed significantly to our constant currency revenue growth of 44.2% for the quarter and give us good visibility into the next quarter. We delivered that growth profitably, with PBT at £6.7m or 10.9% PBT margin and Adjusted PBT3 at £9.7m, or 15.7% Adjusted PBT margin,” said Mark Thurston Endava’s CFO.

1 Revenue 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.
2 Adjusted diluted EPS is our profit after taxes adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses and initial public offering expenses incurred (all of which are non-cash other than realized foreign currency exchange gains and losses and initial public offering expenses) and the tax impact of these adjustments, divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted.
3 Adjusted PBT, is defined as our profit before taxes adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses and initial public offering expenses incurred (all of which are non-cash other than realized foreign currency exchange gains and losses and initial public offering expenses).

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

To supplement Endava’s Group Statement of Comprehensive Income and Group Balance Sheet presented in accordance with IFRS, the company uses non-IFRS measures of certain components of financial performance. These measures include: revenue in constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit attributable to shareholders and free cash flow, Revenue 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 rates in effect for the fiscal year ended June�30, 2017 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.

Free cash flow is the Company’s net cash from (used in) operating activities, plus grants received, less purchases of non-current tangible and intangible assets and plus initial public offering expenses paid. Adjusted profit before tax is the company’s profit before taxes adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses and initial public offering expenses incurred

In order for Endava’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures. 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. Endava 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.
