ENDAVA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS

Q1 FY2026

8.6% Year on Year Revenue Decline to £178.2 million

7.3% Revenue Decline at Constant Currency

Diluted EPS £(0.15) compared to £0.04 in the prior year comparative period

Adjusted Diluted EPS £0.15 compared to £0.25 in the prior year comparative period

London, U.K. – Endava plc (NYSE: DAVA) ("Endava" or the "Company"), the technology-driven business transformation group whose AI-native approach combines cutting edge technology with deep industry expertise, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 ("Q1 FY2026").

"The first quarter results were lower than guided primarily due to an unexpected credit made to a client that arose subsequent to our last earnings call as well as certain non large strategic pipeline opportunities that did not convert into revenue during the quarter as anticipated. While these factors weighed on our performance, our ability to secure a multi-year strategic relationship with a leading payments company of up to $100 million demonstrates the strength of our client relationships. This partnership will utilise the best of Endava’s global delivery capability as well as our AI and advanced engineering capabilities to streamline our client's technology platforms and enhance existing capabilities. This represents a prime example of the type of deal and partnership we are targeting utilising our capability as an AI native, technology agnostic, transformation partner,” said John Cotterell, Endava's CEO.

Other in Q1 FY2026. This compares to 20% from Payments, 17% from BCM, 9% from Insurance, 21% from TMT, 9% from Mobility, 12% from Healthcare, and 12% from Other in the same period in the prior year.

OUTLOOK:

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026:

Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £179.0 million to £182.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue decline of between (8.0)% and (7.0)% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.15 to £0.17 per share.

Full Fiscal Year 2026:

Endava expects revenue will be in the range of £735.0 million to £752.0 million, representing a constant currency revenue change of between (4.5)% and (2.5)% on a year over year basis. Endava expects adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of £0.80 to £0.88 per share.

This above guidance for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2026 assumes the exchange rates on October 31, 2025 (when the exchange rate was 1 British Pound to 1.32 US Dollar and 1.14 Euro).

Endava is not able, at this time, to reconcile its expectations for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2026 for a rate of revenue growth or decline at constant currency or adjusted diluted EPS to their respective most directly comparable IFRS measures as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, foreign currency exchange losses / (gains), net, and fair value movement of contingent consideration, as applicable. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Endava's results computed in accordance with IFRS.

The guidance provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM:

As of October 31, 2025, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 7,139,149 American Depositary Shares for $115.9 million under its share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2025, the Company had $34.1 million remaining for repurchase under its share repurchase authorisation.

						Q1 FY2026

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

To supplement Endava’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company uses non-IFRS measures of certain components of financial performance in this press release. These measures include revenue (decline)/growth rate at constant currency, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow.

Revenue (decline)/growth rate at constant currency is calculated by translating revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into British Pounds using the comparable foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period. For example, the average currency rates in effect for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 and the revenue for the comparable prior period.

Adjusted profit before tax ("Adjusted PBT") is defined as the Company’s (loss)/profit before tax adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortisation of acquired intangible assets, realised and unrealised foreign currency exchange losses/(gains), net, restructuring costs, and fair value movement of contingent consideration, all of which are non-cash items except for realised foreign currency exchange losses/(gains), net and restructuring costs. Our Adjusted PBT margin is our Adjusted PBT as a percentage of our total revenue.

Adjusted profit for the period is defined as Adjusted PBT less the adjusted tax charge for the period. The adjusted tax charge is the tax charge adjusted for the tax impact of the adjustments to PBT.

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted profit for the period, divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted.

Adjusted free cash flow is the Company’s net cash from operating activities, plus grants received, less net purchases of non-current assets (tangible and intangible). Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to be a measure of residual cash available for management's discretionary use since it omits significant sources and uses of cash flow, including mandatory debt repayments and changes in working capital.

Management believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in the Company's business and uses the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, communicated internally and externally, for managing the Company's business and evaluating its performance.


						Q1 FY2026

Management also believes the presentation of its non-IFRS financial measures enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS, and its non-IFRS measures may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Investors should review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures to the comparable IFRS financial measures included below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
