NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture (NYSE: ACN) reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, ended Feb. 28, 2013, with net revenues of $7.1 billion, an increase of 4 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currency over the same period last year and within the company’s guided range.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.65, including benefits of $243 million, or $0.34 per share, from final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities and $224 million, or $0.31 per share, from a reduction in reorganization liabilities. Excluding these benefits, diluted earnings per share were $1.00. Reorganization liabilities were established in connection with the company’s transition to a corporate structure in 2001.
Operating income for the quarter increased to $1.16 billion, including the benefit of $224 million from the reduction in reorganization liabilities. Excluding the benefit, operating income increased 6 percent, to $940 million, and operating margin expanded 20 basis points, to 13.3 percent.
New bookings for the quarter were $9.1 billion, with record consulting bookings of $4.4 billion and outsourcing bookings of $4.7 billion.
Pierre Nanterme, Accenture’s chairman and CEO, said, “We are pleased with our second-quarter financial results, which were in line with our expectations. We saw very strong demand for our services, with $9.1 billion in new bookings, including record consulting bookings. Our revenue growth was within our guided range for the quarter, including a 10 percent local-currency increase in outsourcing. We also increased operating income and again expanded operating margin, reflecting our continued focus on driving profitable growth.
“Our strategy continues to differentiate Accenture in the marketplace, and our excellent bookings in the second quarter further demonstrate that our services are resonating with the needs of our clients. We remain confident in our ability to seize the opportunities in this fast-changing environment and to continue to deliver tangible business outcomes for our clients and value for our shareholders.”
Financial Review
Revenues before reimbursements (“net revenues”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $7.1 billion, compared with $6.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 4 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currency. Net revenues for the quarter were within the company’s guided range of $6.9 billion to $7.15 billion, which assumed a foreign-exchange impact of negative 1 percent. Adjusting for the actual foreign-exchange impact of approximately 0 percent in the quarter, the company’s guided range for quarterly net revenues would have been $6.96 billion to $7.21 billion.
- Consulting net revenues for the quarter were $3.8 billion, a decrease of approximately 1 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currency from the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
- Outsourcing net revenues were $3.3 billion, an increase of 9 percent in U.S. dollars and 10 percent in local currency over the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Diluted EPS for the quarter were $1.65, compared with $0.97 for the second quarter last year, an increase of $0.68. The reorganization benefit and final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities had a positive $0.65 impact on EPS in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding these benefits, EPS for the quarter were $1.00, an increase of $0.03 from the second quarter last year.
The $0.68 increase in GAAP EPS reflects:
- $0.06 from higher revenue and operating results;
- $0.01 from higher non-operating income;
- $0.02 from a lower share count;
- $0.34 from final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities; and
-
$0.31 from a reduction in reorganization liabilities;
partially offset by: - $0.06 from a higher effective tax rate excluding the impact of final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities and the reduction in reorganization liabilities.
Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) for the quarter was 31.6 percent, compared with 31.1 percent for the second quarter last year. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter were $1.3 billion, or approximately 18.3 percent of net revenues, compared with $1.2 billion, or approximately 18.0 percent of net revenues, for the second quarter last year.
Operating income for the second quarter was $1.16 billion, or 16.5 percent of net revenues, compared with $889 million, or 13.1 percent of net revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Excluding the $224 million reorganization benefit, operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $940 million, or 13.3 percent of net revenues, a 20-basis-point expansion from the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
The company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was negative 0.5 percent, including the benefit from final determinations of prior-year U.S. federal tax liabilities. The effective tax rate was also impacted by the reorganization benefit, which increased income before income taxes without any increase in income tax expense. Excluding these benefits, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 24.8 percent, compared with 20.5 percent for the second quarter last year.
Net income for the quarter was $1.19 billion, compared with $714 million for the second quarter last year, and includes the favorable impact of both the $224 million reorganization benefit and $243 million from final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $634 million, and property and equipment additions were $90 million. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions, was $544 million. For the same period last year, operating cash flow was $858 million; property and equipment additions were $85 million; and free cash flow was $772 million.
Days services outstanding, or DSOs, were 31 days, compared with 27 days at Aug. 31, 2012 and 29 days at Feb. 29, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein, statements in this news release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “positioned,” “outlook” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These include, without limitation, risks that: the company’s results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions and the effects of these conditions on the company’s clients’ businesses and levels of business activity; the company’s business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for the company’s services and solutions, and a significant reduction in such demand could materially affect the company’s results of operations; if the company is unable to keep its supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand around the world and attract and retain professionals with strong leadership skills, the company’s business, the utilization rate of the company’s professionals and the company’s results of operations may be materially adversely affected; the markets in which the company competes are highly competitive, and the company might not be able to compete effectively; the company could have liability or the company’s reputation could be damaged if the company fails to protect client and/or company data or information systems as obligated by law or contract or if the company’s information systems are breached; as a result of the company’s geographically diverse operations and its growth strategy to continue geographic expansion, the company is more susceptible to certain risks; the company’s Global Delivery Network is increasingly concentrated in India and the Philippines, which may expose it to operational risks; the company’s results of operations could materially suffer if the company is not able to obtain sufficient pricing to enable it to meet its profitability expectations; if the company’s pricing estimates do not accurately anticipate the cost, risk and complexity of the company performing its work or third parties upon whom it relies do not meet their commitments, then the company’s contracts could have delivery inefficiencies and be unprofitable; the company’s work with government clients exposes the company to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment; the company’s business could be materially adversely affected if the company incurs legal liability in connection with providing its services and solutions; the company’s results of operations could be materially adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the company’s results of operations and ability to grow could be materially negatively affected if the company cannot adapt and expand its services and solutions in response to ongoing changes in technology and offerings by new entrants; the company’s alliance relationships may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect the company’s results of operations; outsourcing services and the continued expansion of the company’s other services and solutions into new areas subject the company to different operational risks than its consulting and systems integration services; the company’s services or solutions could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or the company might lose its ability to utilize the intellectual property of others; the company has only a limited ability to protect its intellectual property rights, which are important to the company’s success; the company’s ability to attract and retain business and employees may depend on its reputation in the marketplace; the company might not be successful at identifying, acquiring or integrating businesses or entering into joint ventures; the company’s profitability could suffer if its cost-management strategies are unsuccessful, and the company may not be able to improve its profitability through improvements to cost-management to the degree it has done in the past; many of the company’s contracts include payments that link some of its fees to the attainment of performance or business targets and/or require the company to meet specific service levels, which could increase the variability of the company’s revenues and impact its margins; changes in the company’s level of taxes, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings, or changes in the company’s treatment as an Irish company, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial condition; if the company is unable to manage the organizational challenges associated with its size, the company might be unable to achieve its business objectives; if the company is unable to collect its receivables or unbilled services, the company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected; the company’s share price and results of operations could fluctuate and be difficult to predict; the company’s results of operations and share price could be adversely affected if it is unable to maintain effective internal controls; the company may be subject to criticism and negative publicity related to its incorporation in Ireland; as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the “Risk Factors” heading in Accenture plc’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statements in this news release speak only as of the date they were made, and Accenture undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements made in this news release or to conform such statements to actual results or changes in Accenture’s expectations.
