Good day, everyone and welcome to this Amdocs First Quarter 2012 Earnings Release Conference Call. Today’s call is being recorded and webcast. At this time, I will turn the call over to Elizabeth Grausam, Vice President of Investor Relations for Amdocs. Please go ahead, ma’am.

Thank you, Melanie. Before we begin, I would like to point out that during this call we will discuss certain financial information that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company’s management uses this financial information and its internal analysis in order to exclude the effects of acquisitions and other significant items that may have a disproportionate effect in any particular period. Accordingly, management believes that isolating the effects of such events enables management and investors to consistently analyze the critical components and results of operations of the company’s business and to have a meaningful comparison to prior periods. For more information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures including reconciliations of these measures, we refer you to today’s earnings release which will also be furnished with the SEC on a Form 6-K. Also, this call includes information that constitutes forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be obtained or that any deviations will not be material. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ from those anticipated. These risks include but are not limited to the effects of general economic conditions and such other risks as discussed in our earnings release today and at greater length in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, filed on December 8, 2011. Amdocs may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, however the company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Participating on the call today are Eli Gelman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amdocs Management Ltd.; and Tamar Rapaport Dagim, Chief Financial Officer. Following our prepared comments, we’ll open the call to Q and A. With that, let me turn the call over to Eli Gelman.

Thank you, Liz, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. Today we are pleased to announce that our first fiscal quarter results were within our guidance for revenue, EPS, and margins. I would like to discuss our business strengths in two distinct parts. First, I would quickly discuss our business with AT&T in light of the termination of the merger with T-Mobile. We expect this topic is at the top of your minds. Second, I would like to discuss the rest of our business. Altogether, we believe trends remains quite healthy for Amdocs. Starting with AT&T, as we discussed on our last quarterly earning calls in early November, we planned for various scenarios around the pending measures in our outlook for 2012. While we factored in potential for the deal to be delayed or cancelled, to be frank, we were surprised by the timing of the deal termination in mid-December. As a result of this timing, AT&T naturally put certain programs on hold until after the holiday season. As we speak, we are working with AT&T as the customer is refocusing its aid IT and other priorities. Due to the fact that these discussions are still in progress, the type and level of spending of AT&T is currently one of the largest variables between the low and the high end of our full year guidance range. We expect to have more clarity on this topic next quarter. Now I’ll turn to the discussion of the majority of our business. We continue to see solid demand trends and strong signings during the first quarter. Let me provide some color on the emerging markets, European and managed services components of our business which continues to be particular in bright spot. In Q1, our presence and reputation in the emerging markets continued…

Thank you, Eli. Fourth quarter revenue of $807 million was within our guidance range of $805 million to $825 million, with foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacting revenue by approximately $6 million relative to fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. The majority of the FX impact was not included in our guidance. Excluding the effects of currency we ended the quarter just slightly below the mid-point of our range. Our fiscal first quarter non-GAAP operating margin was 16.5%, sequentially flat from the fourth fiscal quarter and within our expected range of 16% to 17%. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.64 in Q1 compared to our guidance range of $0.61 to $0.67. Below the operating line, net interest and other expense was negative $3.6 million in Q1, primarily driven by the significant levels of foreign exchange volatility during the quarter. For forward-looking purposes, we continue to expect that net interest and other expense may be negative in the range of a few million dollars quarterly, primarily due to foreign currency fluctuation. Free cash flow was $121 million in Q1. This was comprised of cash flow from operations of approximately $150 million less $29 million in net capital expenditures and other. We would like to remind you that we will pay annual bonuses for fiscal 2011 in the second fiscal quarter of 2012. DSO of 67 days increased quarter-over-quarter by three days tracking within our normal range. Our total deferred revenue, both short and long term, was down $7 million sequentially, while total unbilled receivable were up $23 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in unbilled receivable was primarily related to timing differences between invoicing and delivering milestones and projects. Our cash balance at the end of the first quarter was approximately $925 million. Our 12-month backlog which includes anticipated revenue…

(Operator Instructions) We’ll go first to Shaul Eyal with Oppenheimer. Shaul Eyal – Oppenheimer: Thank you. And hi, guys.

Hi, Shaul. Shaul Eyal – Oppenheimer: Two quick questions on my end. Eli, with respect to the Comcast renewal, was that signed basically on typical – basically on similar terms to the prior one?

It’s not only a renewal. It includes a renewal of some of the existing businesses we have, but we have other components there. And I would say it’s a more than decent deal for us. And the overall implication of it is obviously a stronger relation with Comcast with some visibility to the future. And it is coupled, as I mentioned, with a few other components that we cannot elaborate at this point. Shaul Eyal – Oppenheimer: Got it. With respect to the cash utilization, so you guys already repurchased about 20% of your shares outstanding. Is dividend something that you might like to consider apart from the ongoing M&A from time to time?

Shaul, we said about a year ago in our Analyst Day that we do appreciate the fact that we need to put more emphasis on our use of capital. And we started with a buyback. And we said that within the next couple of years we’ll probably develop a view about it. We do not exclude it, but we do not, obviously, announce anything. We see dividend as a, if you will, no-regret move. And we want to be careful about the way we treat it. But we are not excluding it. And it’s part of the overall equation of capital structure and different ways to improve the value for shareholders.

We will go next to Tom Roderick with Stifel Nicolaus. Tom Roderick – Stifel Nicolaus: Afternoon. So I wanted to take the opposite side of the question on AT&T and T-Mobile so I certainly understand that there’s some uncertainty with respect to AT&T’s spending plans. On the flip side, I guess T-Mobile has another $4 billion in their back pocket to spend. Do you see any release in pent-up spending on that side of the equation from another customer of yours being T-Mobile?

Tom, thanks for the question. I would say it’s like as we said on AT&T. It’s a little bit too early to say because we need to remember that effectively all of that happened almost a couple of weeks ago, just before mid-December and the whole holiday season in between, put everything on hold. We believe that T-Mobile is a good customer of ours, we provide a lot of services to – and offering to T-Mobile and we hope that they will turn some of this extra money into new project now that now that they’re going to stay independent and then we need to go and redefine some of their priorities. We expect that T-Mobile to be a good customer of ours in 2012. Whether they can accelerate now the plans that they had before because of the extra money or not it’s a little bit too early to say. Tom Roderick – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay, fair enough. Turning to Europe, you indicated that was a pretty good region for you. And I know the headlines are suggesting things to slow down. But I guess if we look at that that was maybe up 12% year-on-year. Can you just give some data points or anything anecdotal that’s working in that region? Do you have some transformational deal that you can talk about? Just being curious what sort of project activity is driving that double-digit growth in that region.

Thanks again. It’s a very good question. Well maybe I would say a few things. First of all you need to remember that in Europe we work mainly with northern part of Europe if you can call it this way. This is the U.K., Germany, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Benelux; not necessarily the area that are considered to be part of the headlines like Greece or maybe to some extent Italy and France also, so this one thing you need to keep in mind. The second thing is that we see different reasons for business demands for us in Europe. I’ll give you maybe two different angles of it. One, most of the European carriers are using mainly our systems, and in some cases others, for quite some time, more than 15 years. We know that business transformations happens about 15 to 20 years. So if they want to transform, they need to start planning and executing in the near future in order to be ready in couple of years. So we see some transformation on projects, not quite significant ones in certain customers in the middle of Western Europe that just need to augment their capability mainly around the data monetization and better customer experience over the system that they had before. And most of them, especially if they are not coming from us, ran out of steam quite some time ago, so it’s relatively urgent for them. From a completely different angle, you may see some galaxies, or some carriers in Europe that may have, for example, a certain region, let’s say what used to be Eastern Europe, they would like to see if they can go into more effective way to run certain small operations in Eastern Europe, maybe from some kind of a cluster, or some kind of a common place. So this type of deals are coming from different angles. Then on top of it, obviously we have the LTE transformation, because LTE is being deployed all over Western Europe. So we see it as an aspect from different angles. In the U.K., there are new movements of companies, France Télécom and Deutsche Telekom and trying to – not trying, joined together to compete with Vodafone and O2. So all these dynamics in these markets create opportunities for Amdocs and I think they realize that only we have the best product and services out there. So we see growth and we expect 2012 to be a good year for Europe.

We’ll go next to Ashwin Shirvaikar with Citi. Ashwin Shirvaikar – Citi: Thank you. I guess my first question is a clarification. So even if AT&T does not accelerate its current pace of spending, you still believe you can do the lower end of the range? Is that what you implied, Eli?

Yes.

What we’re looking into is several scenarios including AT&T, so while we are singling it out as a large factor in the variance within the range, obviously there are other moving parts there as well. So some of the scenarios do take that assumption some take higher, so it’s not a single scenario that builds out the range, just to be clear on that.

Yeah, but basically if we take everything constant, and AT&T at the current rate, the question whether we can protect the low end and the answer is yes. That’s exactly why we have this range. Ashwin Shirvaikar – Citi: Okay. Great. And then the other question is as you consider or are looking at or make progress on better growth in emerging markets in particularly managed services work, can you discuss how some of these non-North American managed services deals are different in terms of pricing or investment required and what it might mean for your operating cash and CapEx expectations?

Thanks for the question, Ashwin. First of all in the emerging markets we don’t have a lot of managed services on this today. So I’m not sure that we can conclude on a statistical basis. But if you ask from the few that we have, I would say that the overall behavior and our ability to sustain profit or growth on managed services deals in those areas prove to be par to other places. So we are encouraged by the ability to do managed services in the emerging market. For us the bigger question was operationally can we set up the operation and have the right people in place and so and so forth. And so far we’re really doing well both on delivery and managed services in the emerging markets, in both sides of the emerging markets, the CALA region and the Southeast Asia.

Ashwin, I’ll just add to that that naturally whenever we penetrate a new country or a new space, there is a second investment involved. So the first project in Philippines, for example, will involve setting up the site and building our capacity there. But that’s the natural path then of penetrating to any country, whether it’s emerging markets or developed ones.

We will go next to Jason Kupferberg with Jefferies & Company. Jason Kupferberg – Jefferies & Company: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. Just to follow up on AT&T, I know there’s been a lot of general noise out there about the pace of AT&T’s CapEx spend, but can you give us a sense, when it comes to the call it $1 billion a year or so that they’re spending with Amdocs, roughly how much of that comes from their OpEx versus their CapEx budgets?

Say – if I’m looking on the probably $900 million plus last year, I would say the bulk of it is coming actually from OpEx spending. Many of the activities we have with AT&T have been built over the years. So many of those are a support functions, managed services, ongoing activities on existing infrastructure, there’s always new programs that are part of the CapEx, but I would say we are less vulnerable in an unsimilar way to what you hear in the nets for example, where CapEx is a major part of the story. In our case, it’s less so. Jason Kupferberg – Jefferies & Company: Okay. That’s helpful. And just on Comcast, Eli, it sounded like from one of your previous comments that there is some incremental new work here on top of the renewal and I wanted to get a sense of whether or not that creates any noticeable change in the revenue run rate from Comcast overall this fiscal year? And whether or not the Comcast renewal carries any type of meaningful margin impacts along the lines of the Bell Canada renewal?

So the short answer is no and no. But let me give you some color. We don’t – this is not the type of renewal that we have seen in Bell or maybe with other people. It’s actually something that symbols more than anything else the long term relationship with Comcast, the fact that they want to standardize on certain platforms and the fact that they are moving in towards more and more one Comcast. In other words, they’re moving to less and less regions and they want to standardize in the certain regions on systems and we’re glad that in more than one case it’s our system. It doesn’t have a major impact on revenue or EBIT on this account for 2012, but the importance of it, and we tried to allude to it in our script as well, is the growing and stronger relation with Comcast, the fact that we engage in several other activities as well, and different stages, some of them in design, some of them are in coding. But we are having a growing relation with Comcast for very good, very simple reasons. We basically listen to their needs and we happen to invest in this industry for the last couple years. So we have the right solutions and that’s basically it. There’s no surprises there. It’s not one of these things that you can have without investment ahead of time. We just have the right solutions and luckily they see the same thing.

We’ll go next to Julio Quinteros with Goldman Sachs. Julio Quinteros – Goldman Sachs: Great. Hey. Sorry. On the Comcast extension, when you guys say you’re going to single system effort, is that from other in-house systems or other third party providers? Obviously you guys have co-existed with some other guys there. What’s the approach there in terms of going to a single system the way you’re describing that?

Well, I didn’t say a single system. I just said that Comcast in general have a declared vision of one Comcast. They went, I think, from five or six regions into three. And overall when you see a company, not only in Comcast, when you see it in other places of the world, standardization of vacancies trends and better vacancies and on top of it is a trend that makes a lot of sense. Whether they will get eventually to a single system or not, I don’t know and I do not try to allude to that, but you can imagine that within one region, whether they take the eastern region or the northern region, whatever region, it makes sense in general to have more and more of your submarket onto one base. That’s a trend that we see not only in Comcast. And we hope that Comcast will go in this trend as well. Julio Quinteros – Goldman Sachs: Okay, great. Thank you for the clarification.

You’re welcome.

We’ll go next to Daniel Meron with RBC Capital Markets. Daniel Meron – RBC Capital Markets: Thank you. Hi, Eli and Tamar.

Hi, Daniel. Daniel Meron – RBC Capital Markets: A couple of questions on my end. So first can you give us a sense on whether or not the 4G rollouts will impact the timing of, or declaration of deployments with solutions in the near future? How much of that is impacting fiscal year ‘12? And then the other question relates to any success stories that you have so far with Bridgewater.

Daniel, did you mean 4G specifically in a certain customer or in general? Daniel Meron – RBC Capital Markets: In general, but if you have any specific customers or at least regions that you can share that will be useful.

So in terms of the 4G or LTE, it provides us some opportunities around our OSS offering and this initial thing because the first wave is usually equipment related and network infrastructure related. And that’s where our inventory and solution management and service management components of our OSS comes to – to light. And we have good implementations, fast and good implementations that shows good ROI for the carrier on this area. We believe that right now that what will follow, and it again depends on which area of the world, what will follow – and again depends on which area of the world – what will follow is some demand for data monetization once we have the LTE you start actually running applications and services and data stream on it. And then you’d have to deal with some capabilities of your business which is the reason why we developed the turbo-charging and the Bridgewater acquisition and so on, so forth. So that’s, we believe it will be the next wave which we’re starting right now. In terms of the Bridgewater, I cannot relate at this point to specifics. I would just tell you that all the post-merger integration of all aspects are going based on the plan. We see momentum in the market, they signed very nice deals. They’re not huge ones, but we believe they will get bigger as time goes by. And the integration of the people and engineering aspect of it has been very quick. That’s why we could come together to the market with a prepackaged, if you will. Theirs is a digital experience, Data Experience System, which is a preconfigured Bridgewater and turbo-charging combined and we see good momentum in this field. And the demand is there, people understand what we are doing. We are softly doing in this respect and altogether we are happy with the way things are going. Daniel Meron – RBC Capital Markets: Okay. Thank you.

Thank you, Daniel.

We’ll go next to David Kaplan with Barclays. David Kaplan – Barclays: Hi. If we can just jump back briefly to the use of cash, and looking at the Alcatel-Lucent deal today for – or divestments of Genesys systems at a $1.5 billion valuation, are there acquisitions out there that Amdocs is looking at when you look at that space? When you look at Alcatel having jettisoned that out now? And what do you think that says about the BSS/OSS space in general?

So David, it’s a very good question. I’m not sure I have a great answer, but a more generic one. I would say the following; in terms of acquisitions, we’re actually looking at everything in our space. We know the space well, we are well positioned. Usually if we don’t make a noise in certain areas it means that we looked at it and we just decided to pass. But it’s true to some of that has been acquired recently by others. So the number one thing that we are looking in any acquisition is the strategic merit and the strategic fit to Amdocs. We have a very clear strategy. We have communicated that to our customers who – or the investors in a certain way, obviously internally and we do acquisitions that are supporting our strategy only, not opportunistic ones and definitely not stuff just to generate some activity. After saying all that, there is a balance in terms of the use of cash. We came up with a balanced approach that says that we will do buy back at a certain level specifically this year’s $500 million a year more or less and on the other hand we reserve the capability and the flexibility to use cash for M&A. Once we understand that we have a good asset to – good target to acquire. And we have a good track record of this matching and targeting and then execution bit. David Kaplan – Barclays: Okay. Great. Thanks very much.

Thank you, David.

We’ll go next to Will Power with Robert Baird. Will Power – Robert W Baird: Yes. Thank you. Good afternoon. Tell me I think you’ve...

Hi, Will. Will Power – Robert W Baird: Hi. I think you said in your prepared remarks that you expected revenue to accelerate in the second half of 2012 if I heard that right and I may have missed this but I wonder if you could elaborate on your confidence around that and what some of the key drivers are there?

Yes. Thank you for the question, Will. Yes I actually said it quite clear and I will like to give you some color on that. We knew that this year is going to be a little bit awkward in terms of the overall the slope of the growth because of the specifically the headwind we had on Bell Canada in Europe and that’s why last quarter we basically said that we are going to see a relatively flattish first half of the year but if you do the calculation of the overall growth you will see that we will even the growth of the second half of the year of an accelerated to compensate to a certain extent if you will for the slower growth at the beginning of the year. The reason why we feel confident with that is because majority of the component that we need for this type of accelerated growth are already well in the process. So if we are – of course we need to sign a few more orders and do other things that are always unknowns until we have them signed but majority of the activity are things that we have seen in the last few quarters, transformational deals and other activities that we have around the world that is just, if you will, getting into fruition. So we are ramping up the manpower. We are ramping up the project and as we – since these are deals that we signed already, two quarters ago, one quarter ago, three quarters ago, it depends on the case, and then we can recognize these revenues because we are using percentage of completion, and we are expecting this project to ramp up. So, most of the activity that’s related to this accelerated growth are execution of wins that we had before. And we strongly believe in our ability to execute, especially now that we are equipped with a very good version, 8.1, and really excellent one, both in quality and functionality and richness and so and so forth. And all these new wins are going to use 8.1 as their base. And we have a much better knowledgeable workforce to execute it on the delivery side, which is the Amdocs global services, if you will. And there’s GSS, the managed services component as well. So all this makes us to believe that we can accelerate the growth at the second part of the year. Will Power – Robert W Baird: Okay. Thank you.

Thank you, Will.

We’ll go next to Arvind Ramnani, UBS. Arvind Ramnani – UBS: Hi. Just a follow-up on Ashwin’s question earlier, you had indicated that spending at AT&T will determine if you’ll hit the high end or the low end of guidance. Are you referring to quarterly guidance or annual guidance? And are there other clients that could enable you to hit or miss the high end of guidance?

Arvind, first of all, we were referring to the yearly guidance. And we did not try to say this is the only parameter, like it’s a binary thing. We’re trying to simplify things, and the communication between us, but these are – we would say that the single largest component of the moving parts. So, that’s kind of a clarification for your question. And to the second half of it, whether the other components that may affect the high end or low end, absolutely, many of them – but they’re smaller in size, but many in quantity. So, God forbid if all of them turn south within the next quarter, if all of them turn south, we may even barely make the low end of the range. But we are basically applying some probability to all of these moving parts, and what we’re giving you is a calculated average on the probability on all of these moving components. And we’ve singled out AT&T because, it is just the fact, we just want to share with you and (inaudible) with it, it’s still cooking. And, it’s a large component because of the size of AT&T and because of their – some repurposing that might change. It’s not that we know anything specific; otherwise we would say something specific. Arvind Ramnani – UBS: All right. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Arvind.

And we will go next to Dan Cummins with ThinkEquity. Dan Cummins – ThinkEquity: Thanks. On the Verizon call, they were calling out their own plans to perhaps be more creative with respect to consumer pricing and as well they’re starting to – I don’t know if they’re really going through with this – monetize some of consumer behaviors. I’m curious if you assume that some of the other carriers in their region, in their global region, will do the same, how stimulative that would be for your business and how soon, if that’s the case. Thanks.

Dan, thank you. It’s a very good question. I don’t want to relate specifically to Verizon for two reasons: first of all, we don’t like to comment about specific customers; and secondly, we have very good relations with Verizon so our exposure to their strategy is not as we have with many other carriers in North America, in Canada, or the U.S. But in general, not only in North America, I think the overall trend and the overall shared cognition, if you will, of CEOs and CMOs and CIOs of the industry, is that the model of eat as much as you can on data” ran out of steam. It’s not a sustainable model and the question now is how creative can you get and can you articulate the new offerings to the public because the public do not think in gigabytes and in terabytes and what have you. But altogether, this should fall exactly into our strategy and this is exactly why we were so insistent on having our fifth generation of charging, which is a real-time turbo-charging that can rate everything, data and voice in postpaid and prepaid in tremendous rate and speed. And that’s why we did the acquisition with Bridgewater so we’ll have a better exposure to the data flowing on the network and the combination of the two is a very powerful offering. We are trialing already this type of components in certain customers, but I would imagine in terms of the financial implication of that, it will take some time because as the market is figuring it out, what to do and how to do it, it’s not so for then what is the receptiveness of the market of the consumers and the small and medium businesses and so on and so forth, it may take some time. We believe that we are frontleader in this space and we would have an advantage as these things are growing, but the general direction I believe is quite clear. And what we quoted from Verizon is no exception or no surprise. Dan Cummins – ThinkEquity: Thanks. Yeah. That’s what I was getting at. We’d love to just stay abreast of when you perceive it as a discreet project dollar opportunity for Amdocs. Yeah. I understand that will take time. That’s great. Thank you.

Yeah. But it’s – altogether then it’s very positive trend and is exactly the type of changes that we believe that will happen in the market and that are, if I can (inaudible) are very good for Amdocs over time.

We’ll go next to Suhail Chandy with Wedbush. Suhail Chandy – Wedbush: Thanks for taking the question. This is Suhail for Scott. If I go to emerging markets in Southeast Asia, so the Globe Telecom deal hasn’t been signed yet and I think the numbers that we’ve heard so far from Globe at least is $90 million for an IT transformation, that is spending. Can you possibly comment on what’s the duration in which we could possibly see that? Is it a three-year project? Or is it more like a five-year project?

Typically when we go into transformational project, especially it includes several parts of our portfolio that would run beyond one year, those are very complex projects. It has to do not only with our own implementation of the product but a lot of business change within the customer environment, business processes and different roles and responsibilities within those organizations are going through tremendous change. Without commenting about specifics of a (inaudible) that’s no different typically in emerging markets or in any other place where we go for large transformation. And naturally whenever we go into such projects, we sit down with the customers and have very detailed scoping sessions in the beginning to plan that to make sure that the whole design, both technical and change management within the organization is laid out upfront. Suhail Chandy – Wedbush: I think I got it. Thanks. And just to follow up, has the deal been signed yet? And the second was you’ve seen a nice uptick in (inaudible) services. Trying to figure out obviously Europe was robust as well. Is there a direct correlation there, or was most of the managed services uptick you saw in North America?

The activity we see in managed services actually spanned across different geographies. The new long-term agreement with Comcast now is part of (inaudible) there as well. Again, not necessarily incremental revenue in total for Amdocs but definitely now creating different nature of the relationship into the Comcast engagement in such a way that we look at it to bear the managed services arrangement. So I would say that other than this specific customer to notice within those numbers it was spread across different regions. Suhail Chandy – Wedbush: Thanks, Tamar.

Thank you.

And that will conclude today’s question-and-answer session. I’d like to turn the call back over to Elizabeth Grausam for any additional or closing remarks.

Thank you very much for joining us this evening. We look forward to talking to you all in the next few days. And please call our office if you’d like to set up some time. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

That does conclude today’s conference. We thank you for your participation.
