The IT services firm reported non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.40, missing the $0.45 consensus estimate by 11.35%, snapping what had been four consecutive quarters of beating EPS expectations. Revenue of $3.00 billion edged past the $2.99 billion consensus by 0.45%, though the topline still fell 5.1% year-over-year as secular pressures continued to weigh on demand. The central story of the quarter was a steep compression in underlying profitability; adjusted EBIT collapsed 30.6% to $150.00 million, squeezing the adjusted EBIT margin to 5.0% from 6.8% a year ago, with Global Infrastructure Services bearing the brunt as segment profit tumbled 60.8%. A $214.00 million litigation award provided a flattering boost to GAAP results but masked the operational softness. Looking ahead, DXC maintained its full-year revenue outlook of $12.10 billion to $12.35 billion, with non-GAAP EPS guided to $2.40 to $2.90 and free cash flow raised to approximately $685.00 million.
Key Takeaways
- • Total revenue declined 5.1% YoY (6.7% organic), driven primarily by GIS revenue decline of 9.4%
- • GAAP EPS benefited from $214 million gain on TCS litigation judgment
- • Non-GAAP diluted EPS declined 41.2% YoY to $0.40
- • Adjusted EBIT margin compressed to 5.0% from 6.8% YoY
- • Free cash flow of $314 million included $214 million cash proceeds from litigation judgment
- • Total bookings increased 5% YoY with book-to-bill of 0.99x
- • GIS bookings surged 34.7% with book-to-bill of 1.11x
- • Insurance segment was the only growth segment with 1.9% revenue increase
DXC Forward Guidance & Outlook
DXC maintained full-year FY27 guidance: total revenue of $12.10 billion to $12.35 billion (organic decline of 5.0% to 3.0%), adjusted EBIT margin of 6.0% to 7.0%, non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.40 to $2.90, and free cash flow of approximately $685 million (increased from ~$600 million reflecting litigation proceeds). For Q2 FY27, the company expects revenue of $2.97 billion to $3.00 billion (organic decline of 6.5% to 5.5%), adjusted EBIT margin of approximately 6.0%, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $0.55.
