London, U.K. – Endava plc (NYSE: DAVA) ("Endava" or the "Company"), a global provider of digital transformation, agile development and intelligent automation services, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the first quarter of its 2024 fiscal year ("Q1 FY2024").
"Delays in client decision making impacted our top line and led to a revenue decrease of 0.6% in constant currency in Q1 FY2024. Whilst we recognize that the world has become more unstable over the past two months, we are seeing signs of improvement in demand and continue to see sizable new business opportunities entering and progressing through our funnel, as well as new assignments commencing and scaling, which we expect to impact our revenue in the second half of fiscal year 2024,” said John Cotterell, Endava's CEO.
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
•Revenue for Q1 FY2024 was £188.4 million, a decrease of 3.9% compared to £196.2 million in the same period in the prior year.
•Revenue decrease at constant currency (a non-IFRS measure)* was 0.6% for Q1 FY2024, compared to a growth rate of 25.9% in the same period in the prior year.
•Profit before tax for Q1 FY2024 was £17.3 million, compared to £38.6 million in the same period in the prior year.
•Adjusted profit before tax (a non-IFRS measure)* for Q1 FY2024 was £29.8 million, or 15.8% of revenue, compared to £39.5 million, or 20.1% of revenue, in the same period in the prior year.

OTHER METRICS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023:
•Headcount totaled 11,761 at September 30, 2023, with an average of 10,751 operational employees in Q1 FY2024, compared to a headcount of 12,065 at September 30, 2022 and an average of 10,956 operational employees in Q1 FY2023.
•Number of clients with over £1 million in revenue on a rolling twelve-month basis was 145 at September 30, 2023, compared to 140 clients at September 30, 2022.
•Top 10 clients accounted for 35% of revenue in Q1 FY2024, compared to 33% in the same period in the prior year.
•By geographic region, 30% of revenue was generated in North America, 25% was generated in Europe, 35% was generated in the United Kingdom and 10% was generated in the rest of the world in Q1 FY2024. This compares to 35% in North America, 22% in Europe, 40% in the United Kingdom and 3% in the rest of the world in the same period in the prior year.
•Starting in Q1 FY2024, we have updated the breakdown of industry verticals to provide additional granularity. By industry vertical, 27% of revenue was generated from Payments, 14% from Banking and Capital Markets (BCM), 8% from Insurance, 23% from Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT), 11% from Mobility, and 17% from
2
| Q1 FY2024 | |||||||
Other in Q1 FY2024. This compares to 30% from Payments, 16% from BCM, 6% from Insurance, 23% from TMT, 10% from Mobility, and 15% from Other in the same period in the prior year.
OUTLOOK:
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024:
Endava expects revenues will be in the range of £184.0 million to £185.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue decrease between 8.5% and 8.0%. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.28 to £0.29 per share.
Full Fiscal Year 2024:
Endava expects revenues will be in the range of £791.0 million to £805.0 million, representing constant currency growth between 1.0% and 2.5%. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £1.59 to £1.66 per share.
This above guidance for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2024 assumes the exchange rates on October 31, 2023 (when the exchange rate was 1 British Pound to 1.21 US Dollar and 1.15 Euro).
Endava is not able, at this time, to reconcile its expectations for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2024 for revenue decrease/growth rate at constant currency or adjusted diluted EPS, to their 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 (gains)/losses, restructuring costs and fair value movement of contingent consideration, as applicable. Accordingly, 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.

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 the press release. These measures include: revenue growth rate at constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow.
Revenue decrease/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 currency rates in effect for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 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, restructuring costs and fair value movement of contingent consideration, all of which are non-cash items except for the restructuring costs and realised foreign currency exchange (gains)/ losses.
Adjusted profit for the period is defined as Adjusted PBT together with the tax impact of these adjustments.
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 purchases of non-current assets (tangible and intangible).
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
5
| Q1 FY2024 | |||||||
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.

Q1 FY2024 INVESTOR PRESENTATION
2 This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this presentation, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the statements regarding our business strategy and our plans and objectives for future operations, our addressable market and perceived growth over next five years, our assumptions regarding industry trends, potential technological disruptions, and client demand for our services. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by the Russia and Ukraine military conflict and related sanctions, conflict in the Middle East or if general economic conditions in Europe, the United States or the global economy continue to worsen, including increased inflation and recent and potential future bank failures; and the perceived impact and effect of macroeconomic conditions on Endava and its customers including the March 2023 banking collapse; our ability to retain existing clients and attract new clients, including our ability to increase revenue from existing clients and diversify our revenue concentration; our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled IT professionals at cost-effective rates; our ability to penetrate new industry verticals and geographies and grow our revenue in current industry verticals and geographies; our ability to maintain favourable pricing and utilisation rates; our ability to successfully identify acquisition targets, consummate acquisitions and successfully integrate acquired businesses and personnel; the effects of increased competition as well as innovations by new and existing competitors in our market; our ability to adapt to technological change and innovate solutions for our clients; our ability to collect on billed and unbilled receivables from clients; our ability to effectively manage our international operations, including our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting and our future financial performance, including trends in revenue, cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, finance income and expense and taxes, as well as other risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 19, 2023. Except as required by law, we assume no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Neither we nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such data or undertakes any obligation to update such data after the date of this presentation. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. By attending or receiving this presentation you acknowledge that you will be solely responsible for your own assessment of the market and our market position and that you will conduct your own analysis and be solely responsible for forming your own view of the potential future performance of our business. This presentation includes non-IFRS financial measures, including revenue growth at constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit before tax as a percentage of revenue, adjusted profit for the period and adjusted free cash flow. Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business and use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing our business and evaluating our performance. Management also believes the presentation of its non-IFRS financial measures enhances an investor’s overall understanding of our historical financial performance. These non-IFRS financial measures have certain limitations and should not be considered in isolation, or as alternatives to or substitutes for, financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS measures as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non-IFRS measures presented by other companies. Our presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non- recurring items. See the IFRS to Non-IFRS Reconciliation section of this presentation and in our earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.
