JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / Amdocs Limited (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today reported operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

“I’m pleased to report solid Q3 results. Revenue of $1.175 billion was consistent with the midpoint of guidance, and profitability improved from a year ago as we continued to balance growth investments with accelerated internal transformation to become an agentic-first organization. Managed services had a record quarter, contributing 67% of total revenue, and twelve-month backlog grew by 2.7% from a year ago. With these results, we’re on track to achieve our fiscal 2026 financial guidance while closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and customer spending behavior in the current climate,” said Shimie Hortig, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.

Hortig continued, “As we’ve advanced our strategy over the last few months, I’d like to provide more details about our plans to lead Amdocs forward. Last quarter, I shared my excitement about the agentic era, and the long-term opportunity this presents to help our industry and customers fundamentally transform their IT and network domains. Our vision is to be the primary partner of choice to accelerate this agentic transformation and unlock its value for our customers. Today, we are introducing our new four-pillar growth strategy. Pillar 1, and the core of our strategy, is “aOS, Agentic Telco Operating System”, designed to fundamentally transform the way our customers operate their business. Pillar II is “New Vertical Expansion” where we plan to leverage our deep engineering pedigree, combined with our transformation expertise, to accelerate agentic modernization in another industry. Pillar III is “Emerging Growth Horizons” where we intend to capture and solve emerging needs driven by the GenAI revolution in our customer base and beyond. Pillar IV relates to the “Internal Transformation” of Amdocs to become an agentic-first organization as a key enabler to support our future growth.”

Hortig concluded, “As the first major proof point of our first growth pillar, I’m proud to share an important moment in our agentic journey. We signed a new, large-scale 10-year partnership with Liberty Latin America encompassing their entire end-to-end IT ecosystem. This is a true flagship engagement under which Liberty Latin America is trusting Amdocs to manage and transform its entire IT domain leveraging aOS, Amdocs’ agentic telco operating system. The engagement will transform Liberty Latin America’s traditional IT operations into an AI-driven operating model designed to accelerate time to market, increase product innovation, enhance customer and employee experience, and deliver significant cost savings. The deal is also a meaningful expansion of Amdocs’ footprint in the CALA region and is a major demonstration of our ability to handle highly complex mission critical operations across multiple markets.”

The forward-looking statements regarding our fourth fiscal quarter 2026 and full year fiscal 2026 guidance take into consideration the Company’s current expectations regarding macroeconomic, geopolitical and industry specific risks and various uncertainties and certain assumptions, some of which we will discuss on our earnings conference call. However, we note that market dynamics continue to shift rapidly and we cannot predict all possible outcomes, including those resulting from certain geopolitical events, the current inflationary environment, changes to trade policies including tariffs and trade restrictions and the resulting impact on economic activities (as our outlook assumes current economic conditions do not deteriorate significantly due to trade policy or other macro factors), global or regional events, and the prevailing level of macro-economic, business and operational uncertainty, including customer spending behavior which have created, and continue to create, a significant amount of uncertainty, or from current and potential customer consolidation or their other strategic corporate activities. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth. These other non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:

• amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs;

• changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value;

• restructuring and unusual charges or benefits;

• equity-based compensation expense;

• other; and

• tax effects related to the above.

Free cash flow⁽²⁾ equals cash generated by operating activities less net capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Amdocs believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Amdocs’ results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Amdocs’ results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Amdocs believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow⁽²⁾, revenue on a constant currency⁽¹⁾ basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, net, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to Amdocs Limited and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the net amount of cash generated by its business operations after taking into account capital spending required to maintain or expand the business.

For its internal budgeting process and in monitoring the results of the business, Amdocs’ management uses financial statements that do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs, changes in certain acquisition-related liabilities measured at fair value, restructuring and unusual charges or benefits, equity-based compensation expense, other and related tax effects. Amdocs’ management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Amdocs. In addition, Amdocs believes that significant groups of investors exclude these items in reviewing its results and those of its competitors, because the amounts of the items between companies can vary greatly depending on the assumptions used by an individual company in determining the amounts of the items.

Amdocs further believes that, where the adjustments used in calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are based on specific, identified amounts that impact different line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income (including cost of revenue, research and development, selling, general and administrative, operating income, interest and other expenses, net, income taxes and net income), it is useful to investors to understand how these specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income are affected by these adjustments. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Selected Financial Metrics from GAAP to Non-GAAP tables below.
