N.V. 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO, said, "For the full year 2013 Genpact revenues, operating income and earnings per share increased and we held adjusted operating income margin steady. We faced a number of revenue headwinds during the year, including reduction in our mortgage originations business related to U.S. mortgage refinancing volumes, softness in our GE business and the adverse impact of foreign exchange, as well as extended deal cycle times reflecting the increase in the value and proportion of large deals in our pipeline.  Although conversion to revenue in large, transformative deals tends to be longer, these engagements are where we want to be and a positive trend for the medium-term. Despite these challenges, we continued to deliver clear, measurable business outcomes for clients, differentiate our approach by building capabilities and domain expertise, and strengthen our relationships with existing clients, as well as add many new clients."

Revenues from Global Clients grew 16.4% for the full year 2013 and 13.3% in the fourth quarter. Business process management revenues from Global Clients grew 15.1% for the full year and 11.8% in the fourth quarter. Growth in revenues from global clients was led by growth in the banking and financial services, insurance, high-tech, consumer packaged goods, retail and life sciences verticals. Revenues from Global Clients represented approximately 77.5% of Genpact's total revenues in 2013, with the remaining 22.5% of revenues coming from GE. GE revenues decreased 0.6% for the full year 2013 and 0.1% in the fourth quarter, adjusted for dispositions by GE of businesses that Genpact continues to serve.

In the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, 52 client relationships each contributed revenues of $5 - $15 million, up from 43 such relationships as of December 31, 2012, 13 client relationships each contributed revenues of $15 - $25 million, up from 11 such client relationships as of December 31, 2012 and 13 client relationships each contributed revenues of $25 million or more, up from 11 such relationships as of December 31, 2012.

Approximately 75.4% of Genpact's revenues for the full year 2013 and 75.3% for the fourth quarter came from business process management services, compared to 76.6% for 2012 and 76.8% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Revenues from IT services represented approximately 24.6% of total revenues for the full year 2013 and 24.7% for the fourth quarter, compared to 23.4% for 2012 and 23.2% for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Genpact generated $311.6 million of cash from operations in 2013, up from $310.7 million of cash from operations in 2012, which included approximately $45 million from an up-front client payment, and $78.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $101.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Genpact had approximately $571.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013.

The attrition rate for the entire year, measured from day one, was 25%, unchanged from 2012. Revenue per employee in 2013 was approximately $36,000, up 6.0% from $34,000 in 2012.

2014 Outlook

Tyagarajan continued, "The fundamentals of our business and our market opportunity have not changed and we continue to believe there is a long runway for growth where our competitive advantages are clear and compelling. In order to ensure that we are the best partner for our clients in their transformational journeys, over a year ago we commenced an extensive study of the market and our capabilities to better understand how to take Genpact to the next level and where we should focus our resources and investments. To capture the right growth opportunities, we are accelerating our investments in our client-facing teams and solutions in specific verticals and service lines.

"In the near-term, we expect the revenue headwinds we faced in 2013 to continue and, as a result, our revenue guidance for 2014 is $2.22 to $2.26 billion. Our 2014 expectation for adjusted operating income margin is a range of 15.0 – 15.5%, reflecting our strategic investments for growth."

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:

• 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.

Prior to July 2012, Genpact's management used financial statements that excluded significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of related acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. However, considering Genpact's frequent acquisitions of varying scale and size, and the difficulty in predicting expenses relating to acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles thereof, since July 2012 Genpact's management uses financial statements that exclude all acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles for its internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

Additionally, Genpact's management uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring (excluding expenses related to the credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to the remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring. 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 non-GAAP financial measures that exclude all of the above expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. Genpact also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, its inability to predict its stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions, acquisition related expenses and expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring (excluding expenses related to the credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to the remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, if any. Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of 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 adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income calculated in accordance with GAAP is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude a recurring cost, namely stock-based compensation. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013:
