Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third quarter 2018 Genpact Limited Earnings Conference Call. My name is Dillon and I'll be your conference moderator for today. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will conduct the question-and-answer session towards the end of this conference. We will expect to conclude in an hour. As a reminder, this call is being recorded for replay purposes. The replay of this call will be archived and made available on the IR section of Genpact's website. I'd now like to turn the call over to Roger Sachs, Head of Investor Relations at Genpact. Please proceed, sir.

Thank you, Dillon, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Genpact's third quarter earnings call to discuss our results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. We hope you've had a chance to review our earnings release which was posted to the IR section of our website, genpact.com. With me in New York today are Tiger Tyagarajan, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Ed Fitzpatrick, our Chief Financial Officer. Our agenda for today is as follows. Tiger will provide a high-level overview of our third quarter results and update you on our strategy. Ed will then discuss our financial performance in greater detail and provide an update on our outlook for the year. Tiger will then come back for some closing comments and then, we will take your questions. And as Dillon just mentioned, we expect the call to last about an hour. Some of the matters we will discuss in today's call are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that can cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties are set forth in our press release. In addition, during our call today, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide additional information to enhance the understanding of the management's views of the operating performance of the business. You can find a reconciliation of those measures to GAAP in today's earnings release posted to the IR section of our website. And with that, let me turn the call over to Tiger.

Thank you, Roger. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for our 2018 third quarter earnings call. Overall, Genpact delivered solid third quarter results and we are on track to meet our 2018 full year outlook. More importantly, the momentum we continue to see in our pipeline and bookings sets us up on a trajectory to drive strong top line growth in our Global Client BPO and GE businesses in 2019 and beyond. It is very clear that our deep domain and process depth coupled with our expertise in digital and data analytics is differentiating us in the marketplace and it is the key reason why clients are increasingly choosing Genpact as their strategic transformation partner. Looking at our third quarter results on a constant currency basis, total revenues increased 6%, Global Client revenue increased 8% and Global Client BPO revenues increased 9%. In addition, adjusted operating income margin was 16.6% and adjusted EPS was $0.48. Over the past several years, we have been clear and consistent on our long-term strategic journey. Our razor-sharp focus concentrating on a set of chosen industry verticals and investments in digital data analytics domain and process are coming together to allow us to capture an increasing share of an expanding large under-penetrated market. Clients tell us that our approach of bringing digital to life at the intersection of deep domain and process expertise is different. In fact, with every client success, as our reputation grows, we are receiving more and more direct inbound inquiries from both new and existing clients who are looking to solve complex business challenges that go way beyond cost savings. Our pipeline therefore continues to scale to new high levels. At the end of the third quarter, 60% of our pipeline has transformation services deeply embedded in…

Thank you, Tiger and good afternoon, everyone. Today, I'll provide you with more detail on our third quarter operating results, as well as update you on our full year 2018 financial outlook. Beginning with our top line, during the third quarter, we generated total revenues of $748 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year both on an as reported and constant currency basis. The overall business process outsourcing revenues, which continued to represent 83% of total revenues, increased 7% year-over-year. Total IT services revenue were $125 million, flat year-over-year. At $683 million, total Global Client revenue, representing 91% of total revenue, increased 7% year-over-year or 8% on a constant currency basis. Performance in the quarter was primarily driven by strong growth in our high-tech and life sciences verticals with CPG, manufacturing and healthcare also contributing. Within Global Clients, BPO revenue was up 8% year-over-year or 9% on a constant currency basis and IT services revenue increased 2% during the quarter. Transformation services grew at a high teen rate improving sequentially from the second quarter largely due to the ramp-up of some of the large complex deals we recently won and discussed with you during the last few quarters. We continue to expand relationships with our Global Clients across a range of our targeted industry verticals. In the 12-month period ending September 30, 2018, we grew the number of client relationships with annual revenues over $5 million to 123 from 116. This includes client relationships with more than $15 million in annual revenue increasing to 46 from 39, and client relationships with more than $50 million in annual revenue increasing to nine from seven. GE revenues were flat sequentially at $65 million or 9% of total revenue. Adjusted income from operations was $124 million with a corresponding margin of 16.6%. This represents…

Thank you, Ed. In summary, we are seeing our focused long-term strategic journey playing out really well in the marketplace. Every new deal we're engaged in now has significant domain-led consulting, digital and data analytics deeply embedded in them and we believe it is a key reason why we are winning. Most importantly, we are seeing digital technologies unlock new opportunities which have significantly increased the total addressable market for us and much of this is usually under-penetrated. Our strategic relationships are growing in size in every industry vertical. We are building industry defining solutions that drive significant outcomes beyond cost to include top line growth, cash flow improvement and loss reduction. We already partnered with or are in the process of establishing long-term partnerships with the most iconic names in every industry. Every one of these are broad, multi-year transformational journeys and are at the C-Suite level across functions. The acquisitions we closed over the last three years across digital, analytics and domain capabilities with a consulting-led front end have been successfully integrated and have added great talent to the company to take us into this exciting future. We expect to end the year strong, setting the stage for 2019 and beyond. With that, let me turn the call back over to Roger.

Thank you, Tiger. We'd now like to open up our call for your questions. Dillon, can you please provide the instructions?

Sure. Thank you. Our first question comes from Ashwin Shirvaikar of Citi. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Thanks for that. Hey, Tiger. Hey, Ed.

Hello, Ashwin.

I want to start with the last comment you had, Tiger, which was specifically about ending the year strong and taking it into next year, right? Could you, perhaps – I'm not asking for guidance, but could you kind of break that down with regards to how you see your pipeline developing, what kind of revenue visibility you have into next year? Does this mean a step-up in growth expectations?

Yeah. Thanks, Ashwin. I'll start by saying that our guidance for the year is pretty much the same as we started the year with, $2.945 billion to $3.01 billion, except for – it obviously includes the adjustment we made because of the Barkawi acquisition. And as we look at the balance of the year, which is the fourth quarter, it clearly means that we are stepping up growth in the fourth quarter. And in our business when that happens, that carries the momentum into next year. So, I'll start by saying that gives us the confidence about how 2019 is shaping up. The second thing I'll say is that we've been talking about a very strong inflow pipeline and bookings and, obviously, fourth quarter and then getting into 2019 start seeing the translation of that into revenue. And then, the final statement I'd make is I did say in my prepared remarks that Global Client growth – BPO growth we would expect to actually be moving up versus this year as we look at 2019 and that's driven by the visibility that we have in our business as we look at next year and we compare that to prior years. And I'm not talking GE, GE is separate and we already talked about what the GE growth would look like, given the deal that we just talked about.

Right. I was hoping to get like the extent of the step-up that you might expect. But the second question I had was with regards to – you're not doing a lot more of these larger transformational deals, many of them are consulting-led. As these ramp up to sort of full size, what should we expect from the margin profile as we look forward?

So, Ashwin, in general, our margin profile for large deals which include digital and analytics and consulting embedded in them, transformation services embedded in them, have reasonably similar profile to what our BPO deals have always had which is – it's a profile that starts with a lower margin as we start the ramp. And then, when it gets to full ramp and full steady state, which sometimes could take 18 months, 24 months, you start generating incremental margins. That overall profile hasn't changed. What does change is that if it's only a transformation services engagement, then obviously those have a different margin profile and there is no ramp-up to that margin profile as long as, obviously, we run those transformation services business with good utilization, et cetera. And I think as you've heard us talk about in the last couple of quarters, we actually went through a learning curve on that and I think we are in good shape and making good progress on that.

Yeah. I think you've heard us talk about driving profitable growth, so top line as well as managing to show deliberate improvement in AOI over time and that's kind of the – that's the model that we're looking to and making sure we're investing in R&D as we've continued to do this year incrementally so as we move forward.

Right. I just wanted to clarify that we don't come to fiscal 2019 guidance in three months and find that there is a slug of investment yet to be done because of these ramps.

No, we will obviously continue to invest in the business, Ashwin. I don't think we would not. But if the question is, will that have a margin change, our expectation is, as I have said, continue to drive Global Client BPM growth, continue to drive transformation services growth and now GE growth as well and step up margin in a systematic steady way.

Got it. Thank you.

Thanks, Ashwin.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Dave Koning from Baird. Please go ahead. David J. Koning - Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc.: Yeah. Hey, guys. Thank you. And, I guess, first of all, we've had four quarters now in a row of about 300 basis points on average of gross margin decline, and I know that's from investments, et cetera. Are we at a point now though where we anniversary those four quarters and we get back into a period where gross margins could also kind of tick higher?

So, I'll take that. On the gross profit level, we do expect actually just even in Q4 for gross profits to improve. And as you know, we actually started out the year lower, right? So, we did see improvement sequentially each quarter in 2018, a bit of it was masked in Q3 because some of those charges you heard me talk about, but the underlying ongoing gross profit levels are improving due to the things we've talked about before, FX getting a little bit better, that continues to get better next year to the fact that – to the point where it's no longer a headwind, it's a slight tailwind which is good. We're also seeing transformation services utilization improve and the margins there improve sequentially, and we expect that to continue in Q4 and also as we get into the next year, right? So, for the full year, you remember me talking about gross profits being down 75 basis points to 100 basis points when we began the year. That worsened a bit to closer to 200 basis points year-over-year, a big piece of that was the transformation services, utilization that didn't quite meet the expectations that we had, that's improving. We're getting after that, I think we're making good progress on that and you should expect those to continue to improve as we get into 2019. David J. Koning - Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc.: Okay. Great. Thanks. And then, I guess, secondly, we've had Global Clients decelerate a little bit, you had been growing mid-teens for a while, the last couple of quarters have been more like 9% to 10%, which is still good. What gives you confidence, it's pretty encouraging to see, you must have a good pipeline to know that it's going to accelerate next year, but maybe what gives you that confidence?

It's exactly what you said, David, it's the pipeline, but it's also the bookings. So, pipeline is a little bit more upstream than bookings. The nature of our business being long cycle outside of transformation services is still very true. When we do a booking, it takes time to ramp up. We had called out the fact that quarter three and quarter four will have a very different cadence to it as compared to normal. And that's exactly played out. And one of the reasons for that was we knew that in quarter three we were going to exit a few of non-strategic, particularly, banking vertical customers and we executed on those, we're glad we did those and those are all planned at the beginning of the year, but we knew quarter three is when it's going to happen. And you see the step-up happening in Q4. And, as I said, the combination of pipeline, as well as bookings gives us the confidence as we get into next year on growth. David J. Koning - Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc.: All right. Great. Well, thank you, guys.

Thanks, David.

Thanks, David.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Joseph Foresi from Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Hi. I guess, I'm wondering...

Hi, Joe.

...just from a – hi, how are you doing? I guess, I'm wondering just from a practical perspective, how come utilization in the transformation services can't mirror pipeline and bookings a little bit better, and is there something that might improve. I guess, what I'm getting at is conversion rates seem to have slowed and you can see that in the gross margin utilization. So, I'm wondering why they can't mirror each other a little bit better and if that might improve next year.

Well, let me take the utilization piece first. The utilization situation we found ourselves in was largely because of what – of the significant ramp we saw in the latter part of last year, and then the drop-off in Q1 of the following year or what we're calling Q5 now. So, as we go forward, our job is going to be ensure that as we go Q4 into the current Q1 of 2019, we continue to address that and ensure that utilization is a little more linear, and we don't see quite the drop-off that we've seen. So, that was a lot of what was causing that. And our transformation services work is typically more short cycle in nature. We have talked about it elongating a bit, the tenure increasing a bit, but it is still more short cycle that you have to continue to get after those bookings on a quarterly basis. So, the visibility to that is lesser as you might expect than the BPO long-term engagements.

Got it. And then, I think you talked about in your prepared remarks GE picking up next year that was, I guess, a bit of a surprise. Can you give us a little more color on why that's taking place and any initial thoughts on order of magnitude?

So, Joe, I mean, that's basically because of the increased scope of work that we just signed. It actually kicks in in the last month of this year. That increased scope of work, which Ed referred to, would probably approximately contribute $8 million this year. That's classic BPO work. It's annuity long-term contract for supply chain for sourcing and procurement, for high-end finance, for sales support, all higher-end services in the kind of services that we do and our objective there is to actually transform those using some of the digital and analytical tools and technologies that we've used with Global Clients. That, obviously, adds significant piece of incremental work and revenue to the scope that we already have with GE with all the GE businesses. So, I mean, and that's great news for us.

Got it. And then, my last one, I guess, I wanted to go back to something that Ashwin asked about and ask in a different way because we've seen some lumpiness this year and the transformational business has been down on the utilization side. You talked about price pipeline. I think it was 60% versus 40% being up in transformation side. And you said that the win rates are pretty much static. You talked about digital expanding the market for GE. And you talked about pipelines and bookings providing optimism. Would that translate into an acceleration in the business and how would it not, I guess, if I am reading that correctly? Thanks.

So, Joe, actually, both in the prepared remarks, as well as I think in response to an earlier question, I had said that our visibility into 2019, given everything that you just described which is basically what we described gives us the confidence that we will step up growth in GE and we will step up growth in Global Clients BPO. And the expectation that we have is that, that is going to happen as we look at 2019 and beyond.

Thank you.

Thanks, Joe.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Puneet Jain from JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Hi, thanks for taking my question. So, how large some of these large transformational deals are, and as you need more technology and consulting capabilities, should we expect more M&As and partnerships in those areas?

Puneet, hi. The transformation services deals that we are referring to can be as large as $40 million, $50 million by themselves, often embedded inside a $100 million larger BPO annuity deal. And, obviously, by definition, because it's a $30 million, $40 million transformation services deal embedded in a BPO deal, it has an annuity long-term nature to it, all of that doesn't happen in a very short cycle. So, we are seeing, what I would call, scaled-up digital engagements, scaled-up analytics engagements, scaled-up consulting engagements. We still think it's early. It's in the early innings of a long journey on that trajectory for a number of our clients, but we feel very confident that that's the way it's going to be. We've added significant talent and capabilities through the acquisitions we've done over the last three years. As I said in my prepared remarks, we are really happy with the way those have got integrated into our business, into our services and the way they have been taken to the market. Part of the confidence that we are talking about as we end the year and think about 2019 is driven by those types of capabilities and that talent. We continue to look for the right opportunities in the specific service lines and the specific domains in digital and analytics capabilities. And, of course, if we find those in the right areas, we will continue to bring them in as acquisitions. But we're also signing up pretty significant partnerships. We do believe that an ecosystem of partners is how solutions get built and delivered these days. And we have significant partnerships with a range of digital and technology and analytics providers in the marketplace.

Got it. And while it's clear like clients need to do something to transform their legacy, but could geopolitical risks or macroeconomic weakness have an impact on those deals and pipeline?

Puneet, I mean, the simple answer is yes, they could. But, what we are saying is that some of the trends we are seeing are independent of political and those types of macro trends because we are talking about the need to change the way the business runs. We're talking about companies in different industries responding to competitive disruption either by a significant competitor of theirs or by a new competitor standing up and completely disrupting the marketplace. Those do not necessarily have anything to do with other macro trends. So, I would say any macro trend would have an impact on any business. And our objective would be to have agility in the business which we think we have. So, I hope that answers the question.

But, you'd expect – by the way Tiger talked about it, you'd expect something like that not to be a nice-to-have but a have-to-do with those concrete benefits not just financially, but also competitive to our customer. So, that's why we do believe that our services are more sticky even in bad times and bad times and in good. So, I think that's the benefit of what we're doing.

And it's fair to say you have not seen any of those impact at all in any part of your business yet?

No.

No.

Got it. Thank you.

Thanks, Puneet.

Thanks, Puneet.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Maggie Nolan from William Blair. Please go ahead. Maggie Nolan - William Blair & Co. LLC: Hi, Tiger. Hi, Ed.

Hi, Maggie. Maggie Nolan - William Blair & Co. LLC: You've talked for several quarters about the strong pipeline and especially about a lot of large deals in the pipeline and that's obviously really positive commentary, but I'm also thinking the large deals take a little bit longer to ramp up. So, I wanted to ask about a little more detail on the demand for some of the more short cycle work and the contribution to revenue growth as some of those large deals ramp?

No, Maggie. It's a great question, and the way you asked the question itself is part of the answer which is, we have been talking about a very strong pipeline for some quarters now. And then, we also talked to the last couple of quarters about strong bookings. And as Ed and I described, some of that is coming through into revenue particularly towards the end of the year. So, part of the answer is that, that nature of long cycle which then takes a longer time to ramp is actually the way it is playing out. And it'll continue to play out that way as we look into 2019. We do have a segment of the business which is parts of transformation services, that are not directly connected to intelligent operations and BPO deals that do have a short cycle nature to them and that do have a fast decision cycle. And those, obviously, tend to behave differently. We went through a period in the first half of the year where a lot more of our transformation services versus the past started getting embedded in longer cycle deals. That had an impact on both transformation services growth, as well as therefore utilization. I think that's beginning to even out now. And as we finish the year and go into next year, we think that the ratio and the mix we kind of have good visibility to and we should be able to manage that through. Maggie Nolan - William Blair & Co. LLC: Okay. Understood. And then, I wanted to dig into your recent announcement in the pharmacovigilance space. Is this win with Bayer in addition to the win that you announced last quarter or is it another win? And then how leverageable are these solutions across other companies in this space or maybe coming at it a different way, are these deals in pharmacovigilance particularly higher margin for Genpact?

So, again, great question, Maggie. The Bayer deal we announced, we actually announced only probably 10-plus days back. So, it is a new relationship and it builds off a co-innovation that we had done with another pharma company to actually build out the original pharmacovigilance artificial intelligence solution. We believe that the solution solves a pretty significant industry need around patient safety and around regulatory reporting in that space. It is a requirement, it has to be done, every pharma company deals with it. What we have built and what we are continuing to build leverages data in the pharma space, leverages data that cuts across multiple pharma companies. And by definition, therefore, is highly leverageable, probably more leverageable than many other services solutions. And that gives us the confidence that actually we'll have many more clients who are in discussions with us, who will get into the same solution. And every client who gets into the solution actually gets the benefit of all previous clients, but all previous clients also get the benefit of the new client jumping in, classic data and AI-based solution. And as you can imagine, Maggie, these solutions tend to have higher gross margins over time. Those gross margins do then translate into higher margins at the adjusted operating income level. And as we scale that solution, it will flow through that way. Maggie Nolan - William Blair & Co. LLC: Okay, great. Thanks, Tiger.

Thanks, Maggie.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Edward Caso from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Hi. This is Justin Donati on for Ed. Thank you for taking my questions. The first one, can you comment on the pricing environment? And if you're getting any pushback from clients to pass along some of the benefits from a weakening rupee?

Jeff, right, but...

Justin.

Justin. Justin, hi. The pricing environment is pretty stable. A lot of our conversations with clients these days given the technologies in digital and analytics et cetera are actually as much about pricing as about driving outcomes, trying to drive gain share on those outcomes, intense productivity conversations driven by things like RPA and AI and machine learning and so on. So, the pricing environment has changed in its complexity. So, it's not straightforward, just simple commodity pricing. As it relates to foreign exchange, as we've always maintained, our business, we run with significant hedges that we take on when we sign contracts. These are long-term contracts with long-term hedges. Therefore, the impact of changes in the rupee is not felt in our contracts immediately. It takes time to flow through. And I think all our clients understand that particularly in our long cycle BPO end of the business.

Okay. Thanks for the color on that. And then, just one last one. Can you clarify, are you done with the export subsidies this year?

Yeah. So, we're not done with it, there's no – all the years that it has been approved by the Indian government are now factored into our outlook. I think our full year outlook is somewhere between $35 million and $36 million for the total which is two years' worth of benefit that we're recording this year. But we're recording it over the quarters now. So, there is, it will have another benefit in Q4, something around it, it's stepped up a little bit. I think we thought it was $3 million to $4 million, now it's closer to $5 million per quarter. We've took some of that benefit this quarter and there will be another benefit in Q1 of next year. That's the last of the approved export subsidies that are out there. Now, with that said, we do think that this will continue, but we'll have to see. It will have to be approved by the Indian government before we'll be able to continue to accrue. So, we'll see how that plays out next year.

Great. Thank you.

Thanks, Justin.

Thank you. Our next question comes from Bryan Bergin from Cowen. Please go ahead. Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: Hi, guys. Thank you.

Hi, Bryan. Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: I wanted to ask on gross margin, Ed. Can you size some of the various factors there on year-over-year basis just to give us a sense of the scale of some of these one-time items?

During the quarter? Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: Yes.

Yeah. So, I'd say about half of the impact was related to the platform development costs that we incurred during the quarter. The platform that goes live, expected to go live in the fourth quarter and this piece of it was expensed as incurred. That's a piece of it. There was also probably another quarter of it related to certain exit costs associated with one or two clients that was incurred during the quarter. And you heard, we also talked a little bit about, we knew about certain accounts that we were going to exit. It just so happened that a lot of it happened during the third quarter, which is why we guided to growth being two percentage points lower in Q3 than we expected to see in Q4. So, that was the lion's share of those costs. Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: Okay. Thank you. And then, as you move into the final quarter of this year and we started thinking about early 2019, can you just talk about what specifically you're doing to ensure there's more consistency in the consulting and transformation services business?

So, we've been through a process, right? This business has been growing at a pretty fast clip over the past several years. It's gotten to a point now from a materiality and scale perspective that we knew we had to put more and more robust procedures around it including automated time sheet reporting that was not the case just a year-and-a-half ago, right, so and integrating that with our ERP. So, that's now in place. I think, some of the things that we're now looking to do to put to strengthen the controls around this and to run this business more effectively is to look at our resource planning and management systems to ensure that we not only know what we're doing in the actual results by customer, by type of service, but then also we could see into the future in terms of what those opportunities are and then also compare that against the resources that we have and the skillsets that we have to deploy for the multiple engagements. So, I think to that level, we're getting much more sophisticated and I think we're going to be at a much better place as we get into 2019 in that regard to do it. So, I think, it was – I think, part of it is, it's just incremental discipline, frankly, and we need to make sure that the opportunity is there in front of us. And I think we're prepared to do that as we get into 2019 in a more meaningful way. Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: Okay. Thank you that was helpful. Tiger, last one, any change in your view on the medium-term trajectory of the Global Client BPO business?

No. I would say the increase in total addressable market that we are clearly seeing in a range of our services and industries of focus driven by digital, and I explained the two drivers of that, actually gives us great confidence that we will be able to continue to drive our medium-term, long-term growth rate in our Global Client BPO business. It's opening new doors, it's opening new clients up, and it's expanding the range of services and the speed at which some of these clients want to drive change. So, that gives us great confidence, as well as our competitiveness in those chosen areas and our differentiation in those chosen areas is beginning to clearly be recognized. Bryan C. Bergin - Cowen & Co. LLC: Thanks, guys.

Thanks, Bryan.

Thanks, Bryan.

Thank you. I show no further questions in the queue. At this time, I'd like to turn the call back to Roger Sachs, Head of Investor Relations at Genpact for closing remarks. Please go ahead.

Thanks, everybody, for joining us on the call today and look forward to speaking to you again next quarter.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for attending today's conference. This concludes the program. You may all disconnect. Good day.
