N.V. 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO said, "Our results in the fourth quarter and full year 2012 demonstrated strong client demand and profitable growth. In 2012, we delivered robust growth in revenues and adjusted operating income. In addition, we expanded and strengthened our capabilities across our enterprise services offerings, industry vertical markets and geographies with both investment initiatives and acquisitions. We also provided our shareholders a substantial return of capital in the form of a $502 million special cash dividend. All of these accomplishments build upon our solid foundation and position us to take advantage of the large market opportunity available to us and long runway to drive sustained growth in revenues and cash flows."

Revenues from Global Clients grew 25.8% for the full year 2012 and 19.2% in the fourth quarter. Business process management revenues from Global Clients grew 21.3% for the full year, and 21.1% in the fourth quarter and were led by growth in Smart Decision Services of 31.3% for the full year and 21.0% for the fourth quarter. Revenues from Global Clients represented approximately 73.9% of Genpact's total revenues in 2012, with the remaining 26.1% of revenues coming from GE. GE revenues increased 2.8% for the full year 2012 and 3.1% in the fourth quarter.

As of the end of 2012, 65 client relationships each contributed revenues of $5 million or more in the last 12 months, up from 56 such relationships as of December 31, 2011. As of the end of 2012, 11 client relationships each contributed revenues of $25 million or more in the last 12 months, up from nine such client relationships as of December 31, 2011.

Approximately 76.6% of Genpact's revenues for the full year 2012 and 76.8% for the fourth quarter came from business process management services, compared to 78.8% for 2011 and 75.9% for the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenues from IT services represented approximately 23.4% of total revenues for the full year 2012 and 23.2% for the fourth quarter, compared to 21.2% for 2011 and 24.1% for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Genpact generated $310.7 million of cash from operations in 2012 and $101.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, up from $266.6 million of cash from operations in 2011 and $89.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to better working capital management resulting from lower days sales outstanding in the fourth quarter. Genpact had approximately $477.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of December 31, 2012.

In the third quarter of 2012, Genpact paid a special cash dividend of $2.24 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $502 million, to holders of Genpact common shares and facilitated the sale of approximately 26% of its outstanding shares to Bain Capital Partners from its original sponsors. The special dividend was funded through a combination of surplus cash on Genpact's balance sheet and a portion of the proceeds of borrowings under a new $925 million senior credit facility. The costs and expenses associated with the above transactions are reflected in Genpact's results for 2012, and adversely impacted net income for the year.

As of December 31, 2012, Genpact had approximately 60,200 employees worldwide, an increase from approximately 55,400 at the end of 2011. The attrition rate for the entire year, measured from day one, was 25%, down from 30% in 2011. Revenue per employee in 2012 was $34,000, compared to $34,100 in 2011.

2013 Outlook

Tyagarajan continued, "We remain cautious, as are many of our clients, about the global economy in the near term, even as we see signs of improvement, and we are bullish on the long term. For the full year 2013, we expect revenues to be in a range of $2.15 – $2.20 billion, and adjusted operating income margin in a range of 15.8% – 16.3%. This guidance reflects the revenue contribution and slight margin dilution for the year resulting from the recently-announced acquisition of JAWOOD. Without the anticipated impact of JAWOOD, we would have expected 2013 adjusted operating income margin to be in a range of 16.0% to 16.5%."

Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact's GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.

For its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, Genpact's management historically used financial statements that did not include significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles on such acquisitions, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

As a result of frequent acquisitions of varying scale and size, it is difficult to predict the expenses related to acquisitions and amortization of the acquired intangibles on acquisitions. Therefore, with effect from July 1, 2012, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, management considers using financial statements that do not include expenses related to all acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles on acquisitions for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

Besides this, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring, net of recovery from the selling shareholders, affiliates of General Atlantic LLC and Oak Hill Capital Management LLC, or GA/OH (excluding expenses related to the new credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", Genpact's management believes that providing financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. In addition, Genpact's management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, expenses related to all acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles on acquisitions, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring, net of recovery from GA/OH (excluding expenses related to the new credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results and those of other companies. Genpact also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, its inability to predict its future stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions, acquisition related expenses, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring, net of recovery from GA/OH (excluding expenses related to new credit facility), and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, if any. Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited calculated in accordance with GAAP is that non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income excludes costs, namely, stock-based compensation, that are recurring. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue for the foreseeable future to be a significant recurring expense in Genpact's business. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income and evaluating such non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 and 2012:
