Our Investment Thesis Forthcoming Catalysts

We rate the shares Outperform. WNS has exhibited strong underlying business momentum, ■ Quarterly earnings and updates to
with industry-leading constant currency growth and profitability. Recent FX headwinds guidance
are waning and positive survey data suggests incremental Services spend from geopolitical ■ Ramping new large deals
events (including Brexit). We expect strong revenue growth to continue over the medium ■ Potential bolt-on M&A diversifying
term based on broad-based performance across regions, verticals and service lines, and solid exposures
execution. We think this supports positive revisions and also makes the case for multiple
expansion as WNS reduces concentrations, and grows faster and more profitably than peers.

TD COWEN ESG SCORES

WNS (Holdings) Limited WNS (Holdings) Limited(WNS) ESG Material Category Rankings as of February 9, 2024
NYSE: WNS
Top 3 Material ESG Categories Dynamic Materiality TM Score
ESG Score: 65/100 Critical Risk 100% 60
Access and Affordability 0% 71
ESG Industry Percentile: 56th Air Quality 0% N/A

ESG MATERIALITY
Establishing materiality is critical to evaluating a company’s ESG performance. Factors most material in one sector (or to a particular company) may not be as important to another. In
addition, the factors that are material – and the degree to which factors are material – can change over time.

Applying data to frameworks established by SASB (the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) and by Truvalue Labs, we present in the chart above the three most material
ESG factors that investors should focus on for the company that is the subject of this report; the Dynamic Materiality™ of each factor (i.e., what percentage of overall materiality the
category represents for the subject company); and a Score for the subject company in each of these three categories (on a 0 to 100 basis, with 50 being average).

We also calculate an overall ESG Score for the subject company, which is presented above (in green) and on the cover of this report. A full explanation of how this ESG Score is derived
is presented below.

HOW ARE TD COWEN’S ESG SCORES CALCULATED?

TD Cowen leverages technology from Truvalue Labs to generate our ESG scores. Truvalue Labs uses artificial intelligence to capture the stakeholder view of how companies are
performing on ESG metrics, using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) materiality framework (www.sasb.org). These data are leveraged to calculate a score for
each company, which allows TD Cowen to have a common framework and uniform way to approach ESG discussions with our clients. TD Cowen ESG scores appear on Company and
Company Quick Take notes and are updated daily.

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?


The process begins with capturing unstructured data from more than 100,000 sources, in 14 languages. These data are culled from a wide range of sources with varied perspectives,
including industry publications, news outlets, NGOs, trade unions, government sources, legal and regulatory filings, and academic publications.

Natural language processing is used to interpret semantic content from the original sources and generate analytics by applying criteria consistent with established sustainability and
ESG frameworks. Performance is scored on a 0 to 100 scale. A score of 50 represents a neutral impact. Scores above 50 indicate more positive performance, and scores below reflect
more negative performance. A score of NA means not enough data is available on the company to generate a score.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND RISKS

Valuation Methodology

Business Services:
We use forward P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples to value the companies in the Business
Services industry. We support our valuation with FCF yield and cash per share analysis.
We make investment recommendations on certain early stage, pre-revenue companies
based upon an assessment of their business model, technology, probability of market
success, and the potential market opportunity, balanced by an assessment of applicable
risks. Such companies may not be assigned a price target.

Investment Risks

Business Services:
Risks
Global economic growth could impact consumers’ and clients’ discretionary spending
The Business Services industry is sensitive to global economic growth. During a downturn or
a recession, both consumers and clients tend to reduce discretionary spending, which would
have a direct negative impact on revenue growth at Business Services companies.
Regulation
Future regulation initiatives could have a negative impact on revenue growth prospects.
Changing federal and government laws in the U.S. and internationally could have a negative
impact on operations and financial results.
Foreign exchange risk
While the companies’ consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars, portions
of the revenues (varies by company) are generated in other currencies (euros, British
pounds, Asian currencies, etc.). This creates currency and hedging risk.

Risks To The Price Target

Downside risks include:


■ Geographic and client concentrations are the primary risk, though this is gradually waning
as WNS actively diversifies its portfolio
■ Revenue growth fails to meet our projections and/or company guidance
■ Operating margin contraction due to pricing pressure or operational failure
■ Cash flow conversion slows, weighing on ability to fund organic investment, M&A or
capital returns
■ US policy uncertainty is also a potential risk, though WNS has no meaningful exposure to
H-1B visas and border tax details and implications/likelihood remain scarce
