“I am pleased to report solid fiscal 2023 results, including strong revenue growth, positive sales momentum, improved profitability, and robust free cash flow. Record revenue of $4.89 billion grew 7.7% in constant currency(1) as we supported our customers’ multi-year journey of digital modernization, network automation, cloud migration, and the deployment and monetization of 5G and fiber networks. North America and Europe had a record year as we accelerated modernization projects at AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Three Group and others. Revenue from cloud activities grew at a double-digit rate in fiscal 2023 and exceeded 20% of total revenue for the first time as a growing list of customers increasingly recognize our unique industry expertise, superior product offering, strong web-scale partnerships, and an ability to remove complexity by delivering end-to-end, fully accountable cloud migration paths. Additionally, we extended our Generative-AI leadership position, leveraging our Microsoft partnership and Amdocs amAIz framework to already embed telco-specific Generative AI use cases across our latest CES suite,” said Shuky Sheffer, president and chief executive officer of Amdocs Management Limited.
“Focused execution was a hallmark of fiscal 2023, as we achieved a record number of project milestones while delivering improved operating profitability resulting from the deployment of automation and other sophisticated tools. Similarly, I was pleased with our earnings to cash conversion of roughly 100%. Additionally, managed services had another record year, during which we expanded activities under extended multi-year engagements with customers such as AT&T Cricket, DISH, Three UK, Vodafone Ziggo in Netherlands, and Globe in the Philippines,” said Tamar Rapaport-Dagim, chief financial officer & chief operating officer of Amdocs Management Limited.
Sheffer concluded, “Amdocs continues to serve a large and expanding addressable market reflecting our customers critical multi-year modernization journey to cloud-based 5G and fiber networks, Generative AI, and improved consumer and B2B experience. As we enter fiscal 2024, we expect revenue growth of 1% to 5%, impacted by continued revenue headwinds, among which service providers are prioritizing modernization programs in lieu of reduced investments to enhance legacy systems. Having said that, our market and technology leadership positions Amdocs as the industry’s partner of choice for continued modernization and supports an outlook for another year of double-digit cloud revenue
