• Diluted earnings per common share were $0.17, up 5.8% from $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2011.
• Adjusted income from operations was $70.8 million, up 38.1% from $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.
• Adjusted income from operations margin was 16.3%, up from 15.5% in the first quarter of 2011.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.21, up 13.4% from $0.18 in the first quarter of 2011.

N.V. "Tiger" Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO said, "Genpact had a great first quarter, with more than 30% growth in both revenues and adjusted operating income. The market environment overall is stable, with increasing interest in long-term, transformative business process management engagements. We are seeing continued strong demand for our Smart Decision Services offerings and accelerating demand for our IT services. Our pipeline remains healthy, reflecting both the investments we have been making in the front end and the slow recovery in global markets." 

Revenues from Global Clients grew 46.6% over the first quarter of 2011. Business process management revenues from Global Clients grew by 20.2% and were led by 61.4% growth in Smart Decision Services, which is comprised of Genpact's reengineering, analytics, business consulting and enterprise risk consulting businesses.  

Revenues from Global Clients represented approximately 73.4% of Genpact's total revenues, with the remaining 26.6% of revenues, or $115.9 million, coming from GE. GE revenues increased 3.0% from the first quarter of 2011, adjusted for dispositions by GE.

As of March 31, 2012, 57 client relationships each contributed revenues of $5 million or more in the preceding twelve months, up from 45 such relationships as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, 10 client relationships each contributed revenues of $25 million or more in the preceding twelve months, up from 5 such client relationships as of March 31, 2011.

Approximately 75.8% of Genpact's revenues for the quarter came from business process management services, compared to 87.2% for the first quarter of 2011.  Revenues from IT services were approximately 24.2% of total revenues for the first quarter of 2012, up from 12.8% for the first quarter of 2011.

Genpact generated $4.9 million of cash from operations in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The year-over-year decline reflects increased working capital requirements and cash tax payments in the first quarter of 2012. Genpact had approximately $412 million in cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits as of March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, Genpact had approximately 56,500 employees worldwide, up from approximately 45,500 as of March 31, 2011. Genpact's employee attrition rate for the quarter was 23%, measured from day one of employment, down from 29% for the same period in 2011. Annualized revenue per employee for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $32,200, up from $30,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

2012 Outlook

Tyagarajan continued, "We continue to expect Genpact full year revenues of $1.84 – $1.88 billion, before the addition of at least $24 million from the Accounting Plaza acquisition. As a result, our current outlook for the year is revenues of $1.86 – $1.90 billion, and adjusted operating income margin of 16% – 16.5%."

Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact's GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.

For its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, Genpact's management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004, expenses associated with the Company's March 2010 secondary offering and significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles on such acquisitions, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", Genpact's management believes that providing financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results to those of other companies. In addition, Genpact's management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, expenses of the secondary offering and significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles on such acquisitions, allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results to those of other companies. The Company also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, the Company's inability to predict its future stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions, significant acquisition related expenses and expenses of the secondary offering, if any. Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited calculated in accordance with GAAP is that non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income excludes costs, namely, stock-based compensation, that are recurring. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Genpact's business for the foreseeable future. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income and evaluating such non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012:
