Total revenue of $3.19 billion edged ahead of the $3.18 billion consensus by 0.46%, though it still fell 1.0% year-over-year, with organic declines of 4.3% partially offset by a favorable 3.3-percentage-point currency tailwind. The profitability outperformance was driven in large part by sharply lower restructuring costs, reduced depreciation and amortization, and a meaningfully lower effective tax rate, which together nearly doubled GAAP diluted EPS to $0.61 from $0.31 a year ago. Bookings of $3.60 billion produced a solid 1.12x book-to-bill ratio, though they declined 17% year-over-year, a trend that tempered investor enthusiasm despite the earnings beat. Looking ahead, DXC guided Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $0.65 to $0.75 on revenue of $3.16 billion to $3.19 billion, with full-year free cash flow targeted at approximately $650 million.
Key Takeaways
- • Disciplined execution across the business delivering solid profit margins
- • Insurance Services was the sole organic growth driver at 3.2% organic growth
