A Restructuring Charge Separates GAAP and Non-GAAP Coverage of the Dividend

The restructuring charge of approximately $106 million, equal to $0.91 per share, lowered GAAP diluted EPS to $0.59. The company stated that GAAP diluted EPS would have exceeded its guidance range of $1.39-$1.47 without the charge. GAAP EPS growth guidance for fiscal 2026 is negative 5.0% to negative 3.0%, and GAAP EPS guidance does not include the impact of future restructuring charges.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes primarily equity-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, and certain fair-value changes. The $0.569 dividend equals approximately 96% of GAAP diluted EPS and approximately 31% of non-GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter. Free cash flow guidance of $710 million-$730 million is stated before restructuring payments.

Outlook

Amdocs' quarterly dividend is $0.569 per ordinary share. Restructuring charges and payments relative to the $106 million recorded this quarter, backlog relative to the $4.26 billion level, and free cash flow relative to the $710 million-$730 million guidance range are the relevant considerations.
