About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For financial statement reporting purposes, the company has two reportable segments: WNS Global BPO and WNS Auto Claims BPO. In the auto claims segment, WNS provides claims-handling and accident-management services, in which it arranges for automobile repairs through a network of third-party repair centers. In its accident-management services, WNS acts as the principal in dealings with the third-party repair centers and clients.

The amounts invoiced to WNS clients for payments made by WNS to third-party repair centers are reported as revenue. As the company wholly subcontracts the repairs to the repair centers, it evaluates its financial performance based on revenue less repair payments to third party repair centers, which is a non-GAAP measure.

WNS believes revenue less repair payments reflects more accurately the value addition of the business process services it directly provides to its clients. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP GAAP

. WNS revenue less repair payments may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation.
