Bull points
- In Q4, we delivered a strong quarter on profitability with adjusted EBIT margin and free cash flow ahead of guidance.
- As an example, across the globe, we pursued 13 large opportunities in this quarter that we expected to close before fiscal year end. This represented more than $2 billion of potential total contract value that could have been booked in Q4.
- We launched Oasis with 10 customers on April 28th, and the early traction is real. It's already contributing to new business, including a large new logo win with a major European insurer, where it was a deciding factor in how we won the deal.
Bear points
- On revenue, we delivered just over $3.1 billion, missing our organic guide by approximately $75 million, or two points.
- On a dollar-weighted basis, DXC won 32% of that $2 billion. We lost 40%, and roughly 28% remains outstanding. With that level of advancement in the competitive process, I personally expected a higher win rate.
- Total revenue is $3.1 billion, declining 6.6% year-to-year. This is below our expectations as we experience increased weakening of discretionary spending on short-term services projects, particularly within GIS, where revenue is impacted in both the U.S. and Europe.
