Accenture ACN reported fiscal third-quarter results that were moderately below expectations. Additionally, management reduced its fiscal 2013 revenue guidance to 3%-4% growth in local currency from 5%-8%. We plan to moderately lower our near-term estimates to reflect this revised outlook. Still, Accenture is one of the highest-quality firms in the IT services industry, and we expect it to gain share at the expense of weaker competitors over time. We are maintaining our long-term financial projections, narrow moat rating, and $73 fair value estimate. Revenue before reimbursements grew 1% year over year to $7.2 billion, as 4% growth in outsourcing revenue was partially offset by a 2% decline in consulting revenue. Management pointed to weakness in Brazil and Europe, fewer enterprise resource planning-related projects, and a relative dearth of short-term projects as key drivers of the disappointing consulting revenue. The company's tepid growth mirrors results we've seen recently from a number of enterprise IT services, software, and hardware firms, and we do not believe Accenture's recent top-line weakness is a sign of broad firm-specific issues. Management did express optimism around industry-related projects tied to mobility, analytics, and cloud platforms, and we expect Accenture to invest heavily in these areas over the next several years. Still, these newer investments are unlikely to lift consulting revenue growth for several quarters, and management's guidance suggests to us that fourth-quarter consulting revenue will be flattish with the previous year. Despite the revenue miss, Accenture managed to expand operating margin 40 basis points from the year ago to 15.2%, as gross margin ticked up 80 basis points to 33.9% thanks to improved profitability of outsourcing deals. The firm generated $1.4 billion in free cash flow, used $618 million for share repurchases, and made its second biannual dividend payment, which consumed $562 million. The balance sheet remains rock-solid, with $5.9 billion in cash and no debt. Management expects to spend roughly 15% of annual free cash flow on acquisitions, which leaves the firm with ample cash to steadily increase its dividend and reduce share count over time.
