NEW YORK; Oct. 6, 2005 — Accenture (NYSE: ACN) today reported financial results for the
fourth-quarter and full fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2005, with record annual revenues, operating
income and earnings per share. In addition, the company announced that its Board of Directors has
declared an annual cash dividend.
William D. Green, Accenture’s CEO, said, “We’re truly pleased by our outstanding performance in the
fourth quarter and full year. Our record revenues in fiscal 2005 included our highest annual
revenue growth in consulting since we became a public company in 2001. We grew revenues well ahead
of the industry average, hit our operating margin target of 13 percent, achieved double-digit EPS
growth, and maintained our strong cash flow and balance sheet. We
also accrued variable compensation for
our employees.
“We are especially encouraged by our strong fourth-quarter performance. We achieved record growth
in the Americas, driven by a significant increase in both consulting and outsourcing revenues in
the United States, and had $5.2 billion in total new bookings, our highest in six quarters.
“We’re
also pleased to be able to return cash to shareholders through a cash dividend in addition to
ongoing share repurchases.”
