Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a leading digital transformation services and
product engineering company, today announced results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2024.
"With ongoing exposure to a challenging macro-demand
environment, EPAM's solid performance highlights the Company's
ability to adapt and optimize operations, while continuing to
strengthen its offerings and client value propositions," said
Arkadiy Dobkin, CEO & President
at EPAM. "We are continuously improving our geographic delivery
footprint, while simultaneously strengthening our transformational
capabilities, including our GenAI-relevant expertise and assets,
and preparing ourselves to be our clients' partner of choice once
the demand environment improves."

- Revenues decreased to $1.147

repurchase program;
- On August 1, 2024, the Board of
Directors approved a new share repurchase program with
authorization to purchase up to $500

applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and
total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business,
economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory
requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations.
The share repurchase program will have a term of 24 months, may be
suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the
company to acquire any amount of common stock.

excluding the impact of the exit from Russia will decline 1.4% at the midpoint of
the range;
- For the third quarter, EPAM expects GAAP income from

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with
United States generally accepted
accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial
measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate
underlying trends in EPAM's business and uses the measures to
establish budgets and operational goals, communicate internally and
externally, for managing EPAM's business and evaluating its
performance. Management also believes these measures help investors
compare EPAM's operating performance with its results in prior
periods. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP
and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results,
including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation
expenses, acquisition-related costs including amortization of
acquired intangible assets, impairment of assets, expenses
associated with EPAM's humanitarian commitment to its professionals
in Ukraine, unbilled business
continuity resources resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, costs associated with the geographic
repositioning of EPAM employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical
instability in the region, employee separation costs incurred in
connection with restructuring programs including the Company's exit
from Russia, certain other
one-time charges and benefits, changes in fair value of contingent
consideration, foreign exchange gains and losses, excess tax
benefits related to stock-based compensation, and the related
effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Management also
compares revenues on an "organic constant currency basis excluding
the impact of the exit from Russia" and an "organic constant currency
basis," which are also non-GAAP financial measures. These measures
exclude the effect of acquisitions by removing revenues from an
acquired company in the twelve months after completing an
acquisition and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by
translating the current period revenues into U.S. dollars at the
weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison.
In addition, revenues on an "organic constant currency basis
excluding the impact of the exit from Russia" reflect the decision to exit from
Russia by removing revenues from
clients located in Russia in both
the current period and prior period of comparison. Because EPAM's
reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in
accordance with GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and
may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures
reported by other companies within EPAM's industry. Consequently,
EPAM's non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in
isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but rather, should
be considered together with the information in EPAM's consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes estimates and statements which may
constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, the accuracy of which are necessarily subject to risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events that may not
prove to be accurate. Our estimates and forward-looking statements

future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business
and operations. These statements may include words such as
"may," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"

events and trends may relate to, among other things, developments
relating to the war in Ukraine and
escalation of the war in the surrounding region, political and
civil unrest or military action in the geographies where we conduct
business and operate, difficult conditions in global capital
markets, foreign exchange markets and the broader economy, and
the effect that these events may have on client demand and our
revenues, operations, access to capital, and
profitability. Other factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied include
general economic conditions, the risk factors discussed in the
Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the factors
discussed in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
particularly under the headings "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and

|
(a) Humanitarian
support in Ukraine includes expenses related to EPAM's $100 million
humanitarian commitment in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine
to support EPAM professionals and their families in and displaced
from Ukraine. These expenses are incremental to those expenses
incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal
operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided
and operations return to normal.
|
|
|
|
(b) Given the
uncertainty in the region introduced by Russia's invasion of
Ukraine, EPAM has assigned delivery professionals in locations
outside of the region to ensure the continuity of delivery for
clients who have substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other
delivery concerns resulting from the invasion. These employees are
not billed to clients and operate largely in a standby or backup
capacity. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred
prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and
not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations
return to normal.
|
|
|
|
(c) Cost Optimization
charges include severance, facilities and contract termination
charges incurred in connection with the programs initiated in the
third quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024. Consistent with
the Company's historical non-GAAP policy, costs incurred in
connection with formal restructuring initiatives have been excluded
from non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in
nature.
|
|
|
|
(d) Geographic
repositioning includes expenses associated with the relocation to
other countries of employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by
the war and geopolitical instability in the region, and includes
the cost of accommodations, travel and food. These expenses are
incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly
separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once
the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.
|
|
|
|
(e) One-time benefit
related to the implementation of tax planning to disregard certain
foreign subsidiaries as separate entities for U.S. income tax
purposes. Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy,
the benefit related to the implementation of tax planning has been
excluded from non-GAAP results as it is one-time and unusual in
nature.

The below guidance
constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws and is based on a

are outside the control of the Company. Actual results may
differ materially from the Company's expectations depending on
factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission.
