Bookings Rise While Litigation Proceeds Lift Cash Flow

For the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, revenue was $3.00 billion, down 5.1% year over year and 6.7% on an organic basis. Adjusted EBIT was $150 million, a 5.0% margin, and non-GAAP diluted EPS fell 41.2% to $0.40. GAAP diluted EPS of $0.73 includes a gain on a litigation award that is excluded from non-GAAP results.

Bookings were $3.0 billion, up 5%. Free cash flow was $314 million against $97 million a year earlier and included $214 million of litigation proceeds. Cash and equivalents were $1.96 billion, and management put net Debt at about $1.5 billion, down nearly $270 million from the prior quarter.

By segment, Global Infrastructure Services (GIS) revenue fell 11.1% organically at a 2.6% segment profit margin. Consulting and Engineering Services (CES) declined 3.0% organically at an 8.1% margin.

Management Anchors Second-Half Recovery on GIS Backlog

Management attributed the revenue decline to customer caution and softer discretionary project work, concentrated in infrastructure. CES bookings fell 19% against a difficult comparison with large application deals a year earlier, while GIS bookings rose 35%, a book-to-bill ratio of 1.11.

Organic revenue growth is expected to improve from about negative 6.5% in the first half to about negative 2% in the second. Management said about 90% of that improvement comes from GIS, roughly three-quarters of it from opening backlog, with the remainder dependent on in-year sales.

Chief Executive Raul Fernandez said DXC is applying agentic AI to how it builds, sells and delivers its services. The OASIS platform is deployed across 57 customer environments, against a target of 85 by the end of the fiscal first half and a plan for 125 by fiscal year-end. DXC announced a multiyear global alliance with Anthropic on June 11.

Fiscal 2027 guidance was maintained at organic revenue down 3% to 5%, an adjusted EBIT Margin of 6% to 7% and non-GAAP EPS of $2.40 to $2.90. Free cash flow guidance rose to about $685 million from about $600 million, an increase the company attributed to litigation-related matters. The second-quarter outlook is for EPS of about $0.55 and a margin near 6.0%.

October 29 Report Is the Next Test

The golden cross is a trend signal based on price history, set against first-quarter revenue and non-GAAP EPS that both declined and cash flow that depended on litigation proceeds. The October 29 report will show whether GIS Backlog is converting into revenue as management outlined, whether the OASIS customer target was met, and whether non-GAAP EPS lands near the guided $0.55.
