New York, NY –
ExlService Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXLS), a leading provider of outsourcing and transformation services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2014.
Rohit Kapoor, Vice Chairman and CEO, commented: “EXL achieved third quarter revenues that exceeded our expectations. Growth was driven by strength in our Transformation segment which grew 38% year over year led by growth in Decision Analytics. The growth we experienced in Decision Analytics in the first half of 2014 continues in the second half of the year with new engagements in the banking, healthcare and retail industries. In our Outsourcing segment, we won two new client engagements in utilities, and travel, transportation and logistics.”
“Today we announced the acquisition of Overland Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of underwriting support services including premium audit, commercial and residential underwriting surveys and outsourced loss control services. Overland Solutions will enhance EXL’s position in the property and casualty insurance (P&C) industry with its leading domain expertise, proprietary technology, and client relationships which include 21 of the top 25 P&C underwriters. Overland Solutions adds to EXL’s on-shore delivery capabilities with its nationwide footprint. We look forward to integrating Overland Solutions with our Outsourcing business and enhancing the suite of BPaaS offerings EXL provides to P&C insurers.”
Vishal Chhibbar, EXL’s CFO, commented: “In the third quarter, EXL achieved revenues of $122.5 million, or $132.1 million excluding $9.6 million of reimbursement of disentanglement costs. Based on our strong revenue performance and cost discipline in the third quarter, we were able to sequentially improve adjusted operating margins by 210 basis points. The acquisition of Overland Solutions is expected to be immediately accretive to adjusted EPS.”
“For 2014, we are revising our revenue guidance upward to $514 million to $518 million from $490 million to $503 million. The drivers of our guidance revision include the contribution of Overland Solutions, strong business performance, and higher revenue from transitioning clients. We believe our 2014 adjusted EPS range will be at the higher end of our previous guidance of $1.70-$1.80. Our revenue and adjusted EPS guidance excludes the impact of the reimbursement of disentanglement costs.”
