NEWTOWN,

Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a leading digital transformation services and
product engineering company, today reported results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EPAM supplements results reported in accordance with
United States generally accepted
accounting principles, referred to as GAAP, with non-GAAP financial
measures. Management believes these measures help illustrate
underlying trends in EPAM's business and uses the measures to
establish budgets and operational goals, communicate internally and
externally, for managing EPAM's business and evaluating its
performance. Management also believes these measures help investors
compare EPAM's operating performance with its results in prior
periods. EPAM anticipates that it will continue to report both GAAP
and certain non-GAAP financial measures in its financial results,
including non-GAAP results that exclude stock-based compensation
expenses, acquisition-related costs including amortization of
acquired intangible assets, impairment of assets, expenses
associated with EPAM's humanitarian commitment to its professionals
in Ukraine, unbilled business
continuity resources resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, costs associated with the geographic
repositioning of EPAM employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by the war and geopolitical
instability in the region, employee separation costs in
Russia, certain other one-time
charges and benefits, changes in fair value of contingent
consideration, foreign exchange gains and losses, excess tax
benefits related to stock-based compensation, and the related
effect on income taxes of the pre-tax adjustments. Management also
compares revenues on an "organic constant currency basis excluding
the impact of the exit from Russia," which is also a non-GAAP financial
measure. This measure excludes the effect of acquisitions by
removing revenues from an acquired company in the twelve months
after completing an acquisition, foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations by translating the current period revenues into U.S.
dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period
of comparison and the decision to exit from Russia by removing revenues from customers
located in Russia in both the
current period and prior period of comparison. Because EPAM's
reported non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in
accordance with GAAP, these measures are not comparable to GAAP and
may not be comparable to similarly described non-GAAP measures
reported by other companies within EPAM's industry. Consequently,
EPAM's non-GAAP financial measures should not be evaluated in
isolation or supplant comparable GAAP measures, but rather, should
be considered together with the information in EPAM's consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with
GAAP.

constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe

(a)
|
Given the uncertainty
in the region introduced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, EPAM has
assigned delivery employees in locations outside of the region to
ensure the continuity of delivery for customers who have
substantial delivery exposure to Ukraine or other delivery concerns
resulting from the invasion. These employees are not billed to
clients and operate largely in a standby or backup capacity. These
expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the
crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected
to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to
normal.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Humanitarian support in
Ukraine includes expenses related to EPAM's $100 million
humanitarian commitment in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine
to support EPAM professionals and their families in and displaced
from Ukraine. These expenses are incremental to those expenses
incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal
operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided
and operations return to normal.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Discretionary
compensation includes the reduction of previously accrued amounts
associated with the Company's variable compensation program for the
year ended December 31, 2021. This adjustment was made in response
to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is not expected to recur in the
future.
|
|
|
(d)
|
One-time charges for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include $7.1
million related to the Company's Cost Optimization Program
initiated in the third quarter of 2023. Consistent with the
Company's historical non-GAAP policy, costs incurred in connection
with formal restructuring initiatives have been excluded from
non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in
nature.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Geographic
repositioning includes expenses associated with the relocation to
other countries of employees based outside of Ukraine impacted by
the war and geopolitical instability in the region, and includes
the cost of accommodations, travel and food. These expenses are
incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly
separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once
the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.
|
|
|
(f)
|
As a result of the
Company's decision to no longer serve customers in Russia, the
Company incurred impairment charges for long-lived assets in Russia
including charges of $15.1 million associated with property and
equipment, $3.8 million associated with right-of-use assets and
$0.7 million associated with goodwill for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022. Consistent with the Company's historical
non-GAAP policy, impairment charges have been excluded from
non-GAAP results as these are one-time and unusual in
nature.
|
|
|
(g)
|
As a result of the
Company's decision to no longer serve customers in Russia and begin
the process of a phased exit of its operations in Russia, the
Company incurred charges associated with employee separation.
Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy, employee
separation costs incurred in connection with formal restructuring
initiatives have been excluded from non-GAAP results as these are
one-time and unusual in nature.
|
|
|
(h)
|
On July 26, 2023, the
Company completed the sale of its remaining operations in Russia
and recorded a loss on sale of approximately $25.9 million during
the third quarter of 2023, including the recognition of the
accumulated currency translation loss related to this foreign
entity that was previously included in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated financial
statements. The Company excluded this loss from non-GAAP results as
it is one-time and unusual in nature.
|
|
|
(i)
|
One-time benefit
related to the implementation of tax planning to disregard certain
foreign subsidiaries as separate entities for U.S. income tax
purposes. Consistent with the Company's historical non-GAAP policy,
the benefit related to the implementation of tax planning has been
excluded from non-GAAP results as it is one-time and unusual in
nature.
