Financial Review

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $16.56 billion, compared with $16.16 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 3% in U.S. dollars and 5% in local currency.

Revenues for the quarter reflect a foreign-exchange impact of approximately negative 2.5% compared with the negative 3.5% impact previously assumed. Adjusting for the actual foreign-exchange impact, the company’s guided range for quarterly revenues was approximately $16.25 billion to $16.85 billion. Accenture’s third quarter fiscal 2023 revenues were at the midpoint of this adjusted range.

  • Consulting revenues for the quarter were $8.69 billion, a decrease of 4% in U.S. dollars and 1% in local currency compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
  • Managed Services revenues were $7.87 billion, an increase of 10% in U.S. dollars and 13% in local currency compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter were $3.15 compared with $2.79 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding a $0.42 decrease for business optimization costs and $0.38 increase for a gain on an investment, adjusted EPS were $3.19, an increase of 14% from the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The $0.40 increase in EPS on an adjusted basis reflects:

  • a $0.12 increase from higher revenue and operating results;
  • a $0.15 increase from the loss on the disposition of the company’s business in Russia recorded in fiscal 2022;
  • a $0.09 increase from a lower effective tax rate;
  • a $0.04 increase from higher non-operating income; and
  • a $0.01 increase from lower share count;

partially offset by

  • a $0.01 decrease from higher noncontrolling interests.

Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) for the quarter was 33.4% compared to 32.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter were $2.82 billion, or 17.0% of revenues, compared with $2.71 billion, or 16.8% of revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

GAAP operating income for the quarter decreased 9%, to $2.36 billion, or 14.2% of revenues, compared with $2.60 billion, or 16.1% of revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating income for the quarter was $2.71 billion, or 16.3% of revenues, an expansion of 20 basis points from the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

The company’s GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.2%, compared with 27.1% for the third quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, our effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 24.0%.

GAAP net income for the quarter was $2.05 billion, compared with $1.82 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $2.07 billion.

Operating cash flow for the quarter was $3.29 billion, and property and equipment additions were $142 million. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions, was $3.15 billion. For the same period last year, operating cash flow was $3.06 billion; property and equipment additions were $195 million; and free cash flow was $2.87 billion.

Days services outstanding, or DSOs, were 42 days at May 31, 2023, compared with 43 days at August 31, 2022 and 44 days at May 31, 2022.

Accenture’s total cash balance at May 31, 2023 was $8.5 billion, compared with $7.9 billion at August 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023

Accenture expects revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 to be in the range of $15.75 billion to $16.35 billion, an increase of 2% to 6% in local currency, reflecting the company’s assumption of a flat foreign-exchange impact compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Fiscal Year 2023

Accenture’s business outlook for fiscal 2023 now assumes that the foreign-exchange impact on its results in U.S. dollars will be approximately negative 4% compared with fiscal 2022; the company previously expected a negative 4.5% foreign-exchange impact.

For fiscal 2023, the company now expects revenue growth to be in the range of 8% to 9% in local currency, compared to 8% to 10% previously.

Accenture now expects GAAP operating margin for fiscal 2023 to be 14.2% compared to a range of 14.1% to 14.3% previously, and adjusted operating margin, which excludes an estimated $800 million for business optimization costs, to be 15.4%, an expansion of 20 basis points from fiscal 2022. The company previously expected adjusted operating margin to be in the range of 15.3% to 15.5%.

The company now expects its GAAP annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 23.0% to 24.0%, compared to 22.5% to 24.5% previously, and its adjusted annual effective tax rate, which excludes the tax impacts of business optimization costs and a gain on an investment, to be in the range of 23.5% to 24.5%. The company previously expected its adjusted annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 23% to 25%.

The company now expects GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $10.94 to $11.05, compared to $10.84 to $11.06 previously, and adjusted EPS to be in the range of $11.52 to $11.63, an increase of 8% to 9% over fiscal 2022 diluted EPS of $10.71. This excludes $0.96 for business optimization costs and $0.38 for a gain on an investment. The company previously expected adjusted EPS to be in the range of $11.41 to $11.63.

For fiscal 2023, the company continues to expect operating cash flow to be in the range of $8.7 billion to $9.2 billion; now expects property and equipment additions to be $600 million, compared to $700 million previously; and now expects free cash flow to be in the range of $8.1 billion to $8.6 billion, compared to $8.0 billion and $8.5 billion previously.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial information to Accenture’s financial statements as prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release. Financial results “in local currency” are calculated by restating current-period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior-year period’s foreign-currency exchange rates. Accenture’s management believes providing investors with this information gives additional insights into Accenture’s results of operations. While Accenture’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures herein are useful in evaluating Accenture’s operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accenture provides full-year revenue guidance on a local-currency basis and not in U.S. dollars because the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations could vary significantly from the company’s stated assumptions.

(2)  

Diluted earnings per share assumes the exchange of all Accenture Canada Holdings Inc. exchangeable shares for Accenture plc Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The income effect does not take into account “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests — other,” since those shares are not redeemable or exchangeable for Accenture plc Class A ordinary shares.
