IBEX Limited Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results
Key Highlights
- Record fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 results
- Continued 100% retention of our top 20 clients for the fiscal year
- Over 3,200 seats expected to come online in the first half of fiscal year 2022
- $57.8 million cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal year 2021
- 2022 guidance for strong revenue and EBITDA growth
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBEX Limited (“ibex”), a leading global provider in business process outsourcing (BPO) and end-to-end customer engagement technology solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
“I am so proud of what ibex has accomplished in fiscal year 2021” said Bob Dechant, CEO of ibex. “We completed a record year with revenues of $443.7 million, approximately 10 percent organic growth, and adjusted EBITDA of $66.2 million, a 20 percent increase, despite an incredibly challenging COVID environment.”
Dechant continued, “In fiscal year 2016, we pivoted our business away from a commoditized voice-only business and shifted focus to the digital-first marketplace where we can fully leverage our differentiated capabilities. As a result of this shift, these new customers now represent $230 million, or 52%, of our current revenues, and have grown at a 5-year CAGR of 84% with an equally impressive 40% increase this past year. I am proud to announce that we have also retained 100% of our top 20 clients for the fiscal year, extending this achievement to four consecutive years which is further evidence of continued client confidence.”
“Additionally, to support our growth we added over 3,300 new seats – a 34% increase – to our high-margin nearshore and offshore footprint. With the business we won from new and existing clients in fiscal year 2021, we also established a revenue backlog of another 3,200 seats that are expected to launch in the first half of fiscal year 2022 to service this demand, which will bring our total footprint to over 21,000. More importantly, we are delivering these record margins while our regions are currently at 50% usable capacity due to social distancing restrictions in place; we estimate that this existing footprint would afford us additional revenue potential of $200 million annually in a pre-Pandemic operating environment.”
“Our balance sheet transformation is almost complete with a growing cash balance. With a high-performance, customer-first business model, the wind at our back, and high ROI opportunities in front of us, we’re positioned well for flexible and highly attractive capital allocation and superior compounded shareholder returns.”

Financial Information
While the financial information included in this press release has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to financial statements for interim periods and full fiscal years, as applicable, this announcement does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” or a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements.” The financial information in this press release has not been audited. Our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to our results for the fourth quarters presented herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income / (loss) or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities for the period, or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles.
ibex is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, non-recurring expenses, fair value adjustments, and share-based compensation expense. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

(a) The tax impact of each adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction.
(b) Represents the dilutive impact of (i) an incremental 3,571,429 and 3,199,609 weighted average shares outstanding for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of our initial public offering completed on August 7, 2020, (ii) an incremental 1,785,565 shares outstanding due to the conversion of preferred shares to common shares in connection with our initial public offering on August 7, 2020 and (iii) incremental weighted average shares outstanding resulting from vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans and vesting of the Amazon warrant, using the treasury stock method (as applicable) during the periods presented.
(c) We provide “pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted” to illustrate the impact on the calculation of adjusted earnings per share of taking into account the dilutive impact of the shares issued in our initial public offering on August 7, 2020, the dilutive impact of the preferred share conversion on August 7, 2020, and the dilutive impact related to vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans and the Amazon warrant on the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding – diluted, resulting in pro forma adjusted weighted average shares outstanding – diluted. We have used 18,874,132 and 18,384,921 shares, the pro forma adjusted weighted average shares outstanding – diluted for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, to calculate pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2020. We believe that pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted is useful information for investors because it enhances comparability between the current period and prior periods. This non-GAAP measure will be recalculated each reporting period based on the pro forma adjusted weighted average shares outstanding – diluted for the latest reporting periods. Therefore, pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted in future periods may differ from pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted presented in prior periods. Pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB.
(d) See Note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2020 for additional information regarding the calculation of basic and diluted earnings / (loss) per share attributable to equity holders of the parent and weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted. For the periods noted, the amount represents net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding – diluted for the period presented.
EXHIBIT 2: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define “EBITDA” as net income / (loss) before the effect of the following items: finance expenses, income tax (benefit) / expense, and depreciation and amortization, as applicable. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses (including litigation and settlement expenses, costs related to COVID-19, and expenses related to our initial public offering), amortization of warrant asset, foreign exchange gains or losses, fair value measurement of share warrants, share-based payments, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and/or lease terminations, and impairment of intangibles, as applicable.
