Financial Highlights - Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023
Revenue was $3.57 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, down 12.8% as compared to prior year period, and down 3.8% on an organic basis. The third quarter of fiscal 2023 was impacted by a difficult comparison related to lower resale, a perpetual license sale in the prior year quarter, and lower than anticipated levels of project revenue this year.
Net income was $61 million, or 1.7% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $102 million, or 2.5% of sales, in the prior year quarter. EBIT was $117 million or 3.3% of sales. Net income and EBIT in the quarter included the following items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $100 million, restructuring costs of $49 million, merger related indemnification and arbitration charges of $20 million, a loss on disposition of $9 million, an impairment charge of $8 million, and transaction, separation, and integration costs of $6 million. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBIT margin was 8.7% in the third quarter, flat as compared to the prior year quarter.
Diluted earnings per share was $0.25 and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.95 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. Compared to the prior year quarter, diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were positively impacted by a lower share count and lower net interest expense, partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds and lower sales volumes.
On a trailing twelve months basis, the company delivered a book to bill of 1.06x.

These statements represent current expectations and beliefs, and no assurance can be given that the results described in such statements will be achieved.
Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements with respect to our future financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, divestitures, competitive position, growth opportunities, share repurchases, dividend payments, plans and objectives of management and other matters. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements, many of which are outside of our control. Furthermore, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and may continue to be amplified by or may, in the future, be amplified by the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") crisis and the impact of varying private and governmental responses that affect our customers, employees, vendors and the economies and communities where they operate.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
- the uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach of the COVID-19 crisis, its impact on the global economy and the impact of current and potential travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, vaccine mandates and economic restrictions implemented to address the crisis;
- our inability to succeed in our strategic objectives;
- the risk of liability or damage to our reputation resulting from security incidents, including breaches, and cyber-attacks to our systems and networks and those of our business partners, insider threats, disclosure of sensitive data or failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment; in each case, whether deliberate or accidental;
- our inability to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends, including our inability to sell differentiated services amongst our offerings;
- our inability to compete in certain markets and expand our capacity in certain offshore locations and risks associated with such offshore locations such as Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine;
- failure to maintain our credit rating and ability to manage working capital, refinance and raise additional capital for future needs;
- our indebtedness;
- the competitive pressures faced by our business;
- our inability to accurately estimate the cost of services, and the completion timeline of contracts;
- execution risks by us and our suppliers, customers, and partners;
- the risks associated with natural disasters;
- our inability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with key partners;
- the risks associated with prolonged periods of inflation or current macroeconomic conditions, including the current decline in economic growth rates in the United States and in other countries, including the possibility of reduced spending by customers in the areas we serve, the success of our cost-takeout efforts, continuing unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements, and our ability to close new deals in the event of an economic slowdown;
- the risks associated with our international operations, such as risks related to currency exchange rates and the withdrawal of U.K. from the European Union on January 31, 2020;
- our inability to comply with governmental regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations, including social and environmental responsibility regulations, policies and provisions;
- our inability to achieve the expected benefits of our restructuring plans;
- inadvertent infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or our inability to protect our own intellectual property assets;
- our inability to procure third-party licenses required for the operation of our products and service offerings;
- risks associated with disruption of our supply chain;
- our inability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
- potential losses due to asset impairment charges;
- our inability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock;
- pending investigations, claims and disputes and any adverse impact on our profitability and liquidity;
- disruptions in the credit markets, including disruptions that reduce our customers' access to credit and increase the costs to our customers of obtaining credit;
- our failure to bid on projects effectively;
- financial difficulties of our customers and our inability to collect receivables;
- our inability to maintain and grow our customer relationships over time and to comply with customer contracts or government contracting regulations or requirements;
- our inability to succeed in our strategic transactions;
- changes in tax laws and any adverse impact on our effective tax rate;
- risks following the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC") and Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company's ("HPES") businesses, including anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, and future capital expenditures;
- risks following the spin-off of our former U.S. Public Sector business (the "USPS") and its related mergers with Vencore Holding Corp. and KeyPoint Government Solutions in June 2018 to form Perspecta Inc. (including its successors and permitted assigns, "Perspecta"), which was acquired by Peraton in May 2021; and
- the other factors described in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and subsequent SEC filings, including Part II Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
No assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in any forward-looking statement can or will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement or to report any events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
About Non-GAAP Measures
In an effort to provide investors with supplemental financial information, in addition to the preliminary and unaudited financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we have also disclosed in this press release preliminary Non-GAAP information including: earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), EBIT margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Non-GAAP diluted EPS, organic revenue growth, and free cash flow.
We believe EBIT, EBIT margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance after excluding certain categories of expenses. Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures.
One category of expenses excluded from Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS, incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, may result in a significant difference in period over period amortization expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude amortization of certain acquired intangible assets as these non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Although DXC management excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily customer-related intangible assets, from its Non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and support revenue generation. Any future transactions may result in a change to the acquired intangible asset balances and associated amortization expense.
Another category of expenses excluded from Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, and Non-GAAP diluted EPS, impairment losses, may result in a significant difference in period over period expense on a GAAP basis. We exclude impairment losses as these non-cash amounts, reflect generally an acceleration of what would be multiple periods of expense and do not expect to occur frequently. Further assets such as goodwill may be significantly impacted by market conditions outside of management's control.
We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues after excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations for currencies other than U.S. dollars and the effects of acquisitions and divestitures in the periods presented. See below for a description of the methodology we use to present organic revenues.
Selected references are made to revenue growth on an "organic basis" so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures from "organic basis" financial results, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during all periods presented. Organic revenue growth is calculated by dividing the year-over-year change in GAAP revenues attributed to organic growth by the GAAP revenues reported in the prior comparable period. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
There are limitations to the use of the Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our Non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies.

Segment Profit
We define segment profit as segment revenues less costs of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges). The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs generally include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and other post-retirement benefits ("OPEB") actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
