Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full fiscal year results, which reinforce that our strategic initiatives designed to differentiate our value proposition, grow our existing client base, expand geographically and enhance our service delivery are paying off. By being able to address the duality our clients are facing by helping them innovate new solutions and transform their operating costs, the market opportunity for Virtusa continues to grow. As we look to fiscal year 2015, our objectives are very much aligned with the success we have been having and we are optimistic about our growth trajectory.”

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “During the quarter, our revenue grew faster than the industry, as we had meaningful increases across our Top 10 and non-Top 10 client portfolios. We are also pleased with the progress we are making to extend our presence internationally. There has been a mix shift towards international revenue, and we believe this diversification will continue to be a growth driver.” Mr. Kalia added, “Consistent with prior fiscal years, we expect operating margin expansion in fiscal year 2015 as we drive significant top line growth.”

Financial Outlook

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

+ First quarter fiscal year 2015 revenue is expected to be in the range of $111.0 to $113.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.29 to $0.33.

+ Fiscal year 2015 revenue is expected to be in the range of $468.0 to $486.0 million, with diluted EPS of $1.44 to $1.60.
The Company’s first quarter and fiscal year 2015 diluted EPS estimates both assume an average share count of approximately 29.4 million, (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $33.38, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on May 9, 2014. Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.
