NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Accenture (NYSE: ACN - News) reported strong financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, ended Feb. 29, 2012, with net revenues of $6.8 billion, an increase of 12 percent in U.S. dollars and 13 percent in local currency over the same period last year and at the top end of the company’s guided range. Diluted earnings per share were $0.97, an increase of $0.22 over the same period last year, driven principally by higher revenue and operating income, as well as a lower effective tax rate in the quarter.
Operating income was $889 million, an increase of 15 percent over the same period last year, and operating margin was 13.1 percent.
New bookings for the quarter were $7.94 billion, with consulting bookings of $4.05 billion and outsourcing bookings of $3.89 billion.
Pierre Nanterme, Accenture’s chief executive officer, said, “We are very pleased with our second-quarter performance, which included strong revenue growth in all five operating groups and all three geographic regions. We’re also pleased with our profitability — both the growth in EPS and the expansion of operating margin — due to the disciplined management of our business. We continued to see solid demand for our services, as demonstrated by outstanding bookings of nearly $8 billion, and our balance sheet remains very strong.
“Given our strong results for the first half of fiscal 2012, we’ve raised our outlook for revenue growth and EPS for the year. We continue to invest to further differentiate our industry and technology capabilities and remain focused on gaining market share and driving profitable growth.”
