NEW YORK; March 27, 2007 — Accenture (NYSE: ACN) reported strong financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, ended Feb. 28, with net revenues of $4.75 billion, a year-over-year increase of 16 percent in U.S. dollars and 10 percent in local currency. Consulting and outsourcing revenues both grew by double digits in U.S. dollars.

GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.47, compared with $0.11 in the same period last year. EPS of $0.47 increased 27 percent over adjusted EPS of $0.37 in the second quarter last year, reflecting the items described below under Financial Review.

In addition, the company revised upward its expectations for EPS for the full fiscal year by $0.08, to a range of $1.88 to $1.93.

Operating income was $559 million (11.8 percent of net revenues), compared with $137 million (3.3 percent of net revenues) in the second quarter last year on a GAAP basis and $466 million (11.4 percent of net revenues) on an adjusted basis, reflecting the items described below under Financial Review. On this basis, Accenture expanded its operating margin by 40 basis points.

New bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $5.33 billion, with outsourcing bookings of $2.25 billion and record consulting bookings of $3.08 billion.

William D. Green, Accenture’s chairman and CEO, said, “We delivered another strong quarter, demonstrating the strong fundamentals of our business, our continued momentum and the ongoing success in serving our clients and executing our strategy. We achieved revenue growth across every dimension of our business and double-digit earnings growth. Our solid bookings, which include record consulting bookings, reflect the continued demand for our services. We continue to focus on delivering value to our clients and shareholders while at the same time investing in our people and further sharpening and expanding the capabilities that help differentiate Accenture in the marketplace.”

Financial Review

In addition to providing year-over-year GAAP comparisons, Accenture is presenting results for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 on an adjusted basis, excluding the net impact of the NHS contract loss provision in that quarter (“the Provision”) and the benefit from a reduction in reorganization liabilities in that quarter. The company believes that adjusting for these items, which affect the comparability of results between periods, provides an additional meaningful comparison.

Revenues before reimbursements (“net revenues”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $4.75 billion, compared with $4.10 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of 16 percent in U.S. dollars and 10 percent in local currency.

Consulting net revenues were $2.83 billion, an increase of 15 percent in U.S. dollars and 9 percent in local currency over the second quarter last year.
Outsourcing net revenues were a record $1.92 billion, an increase of 17 percent in U.S. dollars and 12 percent in local currency over the same period last year.

GAAP diluted EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.47, compared with $0.11 in the second quarter last year. EPS of $0.47 represents a 27 percent increase over the adjusted EPS of $0.37 for the second quarter last year. The adjusted EPS for the second quarter last year excludes a $0.27 net impact of the Provision and a $0.01 benefit from a reduction in reorganization liabilities.

GAAP operating income was $559 million, or 11.8 percent of net revenues, compared with $137 million, or 3.3 percent of net revenues, in the second quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the second quarter last year was $466 million, or 11.4 percent of net revenues. On this basis, operating margin expanded 40 basis points over the second quarter last year.

Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) was 29.6 percent, compared with 21.2 percent on a GAAP basis and 30.2 percent on an adjusted basis in the second quarter last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $839 million, or 17.7 percent of net revenues, compared with $739 million, or 18.0 percent of net revenues, on a GAAP basis and $767 million, or 18.7 percent of net revenues, on an adjusted basis in the second quarter last year.

The company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 29.4 percent, which includes the effect of the reduction in the year-to-date tax rate from 36.7 percent to 34.9 percent as a result of changes in the forecasted geographic mix of income and final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities. The second-quarter tax provision also includes a non-recurring $21 million tax benefit related to a reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, which resulted in a $0.02 benefit to GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter.

GAAP income before minority interest was $413 million, compared with $104 million in the second quarter last year.

For the three months ended Feb. 28, 2007, operating cash flow was $710 million; property and equipment additions were $76 million; and free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow net of property and equipment additions, was $634 million.

Accenture’s total cash balance at Feb. 28, 2007, was $2.96 billion, compared with $3.07 billion at Aug. 31, 2006. Cash combined with $267 million of fixed-income securities classified as investments on the company’s balance sheet was $3.23 billion, compared with $3.53 billion at Aug. 31, 2006. Total debt at Feb. 28, 2007, was $29 million.
