Acquisition of InSource, LLC

Virtusa today announced the acquisition of InSource, LLC, a privately-held technology consulting firm with domain expertise in the insurance and healthcare industries. Under the terms of the agreement, InSource will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Virtusa. InSource employs approximately 50 experienced practitioners specializing in program management and IT strategy. The acquisition is expected to immediately expand Virtusa’s service offerings in the insurance and healthcare industries.

Under the terms of the agreement, Virtusa acquired InSource for $7.3 million in cash, subject to post closing adjustments, including up to an additional $0.5 million in earn-out consideration upon InSource’s achievement of certain revenue and profit milestones for the three and twelve month periods ending December 31, 2009. Virtusa expects the impact of the acquisition to be one to two cents dilutive to earnings per share on a GAAP basis for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, inclusive of expected transaction and integration costs.

“We are pleased to welcome the InSource team to Virtusa. Since the beginning of 2009, we have partnered with InSource to deliver comprehensive business solutions that combined their IT strategy and program management expertise with our technology capabilities and global delivery model. We have seen firsthand the benefits of the combination and are confident in our ability to take our expanded value proposition to existing and future clients in the insurance and healthcare industries,” said Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO.

Financial Outlook

Virtusa’s current guidance for the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2009 and the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 reflects the inclusion of InSource. Virtusa expects InSource to contribute revenue of $1.2 to $1.4 million for the third fiscal quarter and $3.0 to $4.0 million for full fiscal year 2010. In addition, Virtusa expects InSource to be dilutive by $0.01 to $0.02 per share on a GAAP basis in the third fiscal quarter and for the full fiscal year 2010.

Third quarter 2010 revenue is expected to be in the range of $39.7 to $41.4 million, with diluted EPS of $0.09 to $0.12.
Fiscal year 2010 revenue is expected to be in the range of $157.0 to $162.0 million, with diluted EPS of $0.46 to $0.53.

The Company’s third quarter and fiscal year 2010 diluted EPS estimates assume an average share count of approximately 24.1 million (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $9.09, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on October 30, 2009. Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.
