Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights:
- Revenue was $1,640.7 million, up 11.9% from the prior year fourth quarter, including a 5.1 point negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year period, compared with $1,466.6 million in the prior year fourth quarter, and up 5.8% on an adjusted constant currency basis.
- Operating income was $178.0 million, or 10.8% of revenue, compared with $157.9 million, or 10.8% of revenue in the prior year fourth quarter.
- Non-GAAP operating income was $248.0 million, or 15.1% of revenue, compared with $203.4 million, or 13.9% of revenue, in the prior year fourth quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $284.8 million, or 17.4% of revenue, compared with $238.2 million, or 16.2% of revenue, in the prior year fourth quarter.
- Cash flow from operations was $235.7 million in the quarter. Free cash flow for the quarter was $192.9 million.
- Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) was $2.01 compared to $2.35 in the prior year fourth quarter.
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $3.01 compared to $2.99 in the prior year fourth quarter.
“We had a successful 2022, making significant strides in expanding our digital IT services and CX operations capabilities and delivering strong revenue growth, profit improvement, and cash flow generation,” said Chris Caldwell, Concentrix President and CEO. “Our comprehensive and resilient business model uniquely places us to design, build, and run seamless, end-to-end customer engagement solutions for many of the world’s leading brands. In the fourth quarter, we experienced some softness due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly with clients in the consumer electronics, e-commerce, and retail industries, where the volumes our clients expected didn’t materialize. Despite this near-term volatility, robust demand in other verticals, countries, and service lines, and medium-to-long-term opportunities for share gains and additional new logos give us confidence in our ability to drive revenue growth, margin expansion, and strong free cash flow in 2023.”

First Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2023 Outlook:
The following statements are based on Concentrix’ current expectations for the first quarter and full year fiscal 2023. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, share-based compensation and the related tax effects thereon. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Expectations:
- First quarter adjusted constant currency revenue growth is expected to be in the range of 2% to 4%. Based on current exchange rates, our expectations assume a 2.4-point negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year. Additionally, our expectations exclude an expected revenue contribution of approximately $80 million in the first quarter from acquired operations not included in the full prior year results. Based on the above assumptions, we expect first quarter reported revenue in the range of $1.610 billion to $1.640 billion.
- Operating income is expected to be in the range of $146 million to $156 million and non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $210 million to $220 million.
- The effective tax rate is expected to approximate 26%.
Full Year 2023 Expectations:
- Full year adjusted constant currency revenue growth is expected to be in the range of 4% to 6%. Based on current exchange rates, our expectations assume a de minimis impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year. Additionally, our expectations exclude an expected revenue contribution of approximately $160 million for the full year from acquired operations not included in the full prior year results. Based on the above assumptions, we expect full year reported revenue in the range of $6.715 billion to $6.865 billion.
- Operating income is expected to be in the range of $713 million to $753 million and non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $950 million to $990 million.
- The effective tax rate is expected to approximate 26%.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:
- Constant currency revenue growth, which is revenue growth adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Constant currency revenue growth is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year’s currency conversion rate in comparison to prior year’s revenue. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.
- Adjusted constant currency revenue growth, which is constant currency revenue growth excluding revenue from acquired operations in the current period for the twelve months following an acquisition and excluding revenue from divested operations in the comparative period for the twelve months preceding a divestiture. Adjusted constant currency revenue growth presents organic constant currency revenue growth for the business, without the impact of acquisitions or divestitures, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.
- Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transactions costs.
- Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.
- Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.
- Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. However, free cash flow has limitations because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and gain on divestitures and related transaction costs.
We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated using the tax-deductible portion of the expenses and applying the entity-specific, statutory tax rates applicable to each item during the respective periods presented.
(2) Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated using the two-class method. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities. For the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, net income attributable to participating securities was approximately 1.7% and 1.4% of net income, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 and 1.5% and 1.4% of net income, respectively, for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, and was excluded from total net income to calculate net income attributable to common stockholders. In addition, the non-GAAP adjustments allocated to common stockholders were calculated based on the percentage of net income attributable to common stockholders.
(3) Based on foreign currency exchange rates as of January 13, 2023.
