Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “This was another solid quarter for Virtusa, driven primarily by increased contributions from the high quality clients we have added over the last 18 months.” Mr. Canekeratne continued, “These clients are ramping faster and contributing greater revenue as they realize the benefits of our value proposition and our ability to accelerate their business outcomes.”

Ranjan Kalia, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Based on our first half performance and the underlying momentum of our business, we are raising our revenue guidance for the full fiscal year 2011.” Mr. Kalia continued, “We remain focused on margin expansion by driving productivity and efficiency programs as we scale the business to meet top line growth.”

Financial Outlook

Virtusa management provided the following current financial guidance:

• Third quarter fiscal 2011 revenue is expected to be in the range of $54.0 to $56.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.16 to $0.20.
• Fiscal year 2011 revenue is expected to be in the range of $214.0 to $220.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.60 to $0.72.

The Company’s third quarter and fiscal year 2011 diluted EPS estimates assume an average share count of approximately 24.8 million and 24.7 million, respectively (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards), and assume a stock price of $12.30 per share, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on October 26, 2010. Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

(1) To determine year-over-year constant currency revenue for the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pound sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of 1.64 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of 1.55 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling. To determine sequential revenue change in constant currency for the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue from entities reporting in U.K. pounds sterling was converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate in effect for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of 1.49 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling, rather than the actual exchange rate in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of 1.55 U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds sterling.

(2) The Company considers the measure of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments to be a more meaningful indicator of the Company’s overall liquidity. All of the Company’s investments, other than certain auction-rate securities, are classified as available-for-sale, including the Company’s long-term investments which consist of fixed income securities, including government agency bonds and municipal and corporate bonds, which meet the credit rating and diversification requirements of the Company’s investment policy as approved by the Company’s audit committee and board of directors.
