Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Interest-Bearing Investments. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term interest-bearing investments, totaled $325.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $514.3 million as of September 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to $551.3 million used to repurchase our ordinary shares, $224.4 million of cash dividend payments, $104.0 million for capital expenditures, net, $86.3 million of payments for business and intangible assets acquisitions, partially offset by $749.1 million in positive cash flow from operations, reflecting healthy cash collections and $21.3 million of proceeds from stock option exercises $18.2 million net proceeds from equity investments and other. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $749.1 million and $724.4 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our free cash flow for fiscal year 2025 was $645.1 million and is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities of $749.1 million for the period less $104.0 million for capital expenditures, net, and after restructuring payments of approximately $90 million.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not prepared in accordance with, and is not an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures with similar names used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow should only be reviewed in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We

33

believe that free cash flow, when used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors and management relating to the amount of cash generated by the Company’s business operations.

We believe that our current cash balances, cash generated from operations, our current lines of credit, loans, Senior Notes and our ability to access capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet our operational needs, loan and debt repayment needs, fund share repurchases and the payment of cash dividends for at least the next fiscal year.

We have short-term interest-bearing investments comprised of marketable securities and bank deposits. We classify all of our marketable securities, if applicable, as available-for-sale securities. Such marketable securities consist primarily of money market funds, corporate bonds, U.S. government treasuries and supranational and sovereign debt, which are stated at market value. We believe we have conservative investment policy guidelines. Our interest-bearing investments are stated at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, unless a security is impaired due to a credit loss, in which case the loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Our interest-bearing investments are priced by pricing vendors and are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 investments, since these vendors either provide a quoted market price in an active market or use other observable inputs to price these securities. During fiscal years 2025 and 2024 we did not recognize credit losses. Please see Notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility, Senior Notes, Letters of Credit, Guarantees and Contractual Obligations. In December 2011, we entered into the unsecured $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. In December 2014, December 2017, March 2021 and July 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the facility to December 2019, December 2022, March 2026 and July 2029, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

In June 2020, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million in Senior Notes that will mature in June 2030 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.538 percent per annum (the “Senior Notes”). The interest is payable semi-annually in June and December of each year, commencing in December 2020. We incurred issuance costs of $6.1 million in relation to the Senior Notes, which are being amortized to interest expenses over the term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest rate. The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including any indebtedness we may incur from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, the noncurrent outstanding principal portion was $650.0 million. Please see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2025, we had additional uncommitted lines of credit available for general corporate and other specific purposes. We had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees from various banks totaling $90.8 million as of September 30, 2025, which were supported by a combination of the uncommitted lines of credit that we maintain with various banks.

Acquisitions. During fiscal year 2025, we completed four business acquisitions for an aggregate net consideration of approximately $84.0 million in cash, and a potential for additional consideration which may be paid later based on the achievement of certain performance metrics. The majority of the consideration is attributable to the acquisitions of Profinit, a data science and

engineering company, and the telco network engineering business of MOBIA. During fiscal year 2024, we completed two business acquisitions for an aggregate net consideration of approximately $84.0 million in cash, and a potential for additional consideration which may be paid later based on achievement of certain performance metrics. The vast majority of this amount was paid for the acquisition of Astadia, which specializes in mainframe-to-cloud migration and modernization.

Capital Expenditures. Generally, the majority of our capital expenditures consist of purchases of computer, related equipment and software, and the remainder is attributable mainly to building and leasehold improvements. Our capital expenditures were approximately $104.0 million in fiscal year 2025, net. Our fiscal year 2025 capital expenditures were mainly attributable to investments in our operating facilities and our development centers around the world.

Share Repurchases. From time to time, our Board of Directors can adopt share repurchase plans authorizing the repurchase of our outstanding ordinary shares. On August 2, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to an additional $1.1 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares with no expiration date. The August 2023 plan permitted us to purchase our ordinary shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that we consider appropriate. On May 7, 2025, our Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to an additional $1.0 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares with no expiration date. The May 2025 plan permits us to purchase our ordinary shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that we consider appropriate. In the year ended September 30, 2025, we completed the repurchase of the remaining authorized amount of ordinary shares under the August 2023 plan and initiated repurchases of our outstanding ordinary shares pursuant to the May 2025 plan. In the year ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 6.3 million ordinary shares at an average price of $87.38 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees). As of

34

September 30, 2025, we had remaining authority to repurchase up to an aggregate of $986.4 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under the May 2025 plan.

Cash Dividends. Our Board of Directors declared the following dividends during fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023:

November 8, 2022$0.395December 30, 2022$47.6January 27, 2023

On November 11, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend payment of $0.527 per share and set December 31, 2025 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, which is payable on January 30, 2026. On November 11, 2025, our Board of Directors also approved, subject to shareholder approval at the January 30, 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.569 per share, anticipated to be paid in April 2026.

Our Board of Directors considers on a quarterly basis whether to declare and pay, if any, a dividend in accordance with the terms of the dividend program, subject to applicable Guernsey law and based on several factors including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity. Guernsey law requires that our Board of Directors consider a dividend’s effects on our solvency before it may be declared or paid. While the Board of Directors will have the authority to reduce the quarterly dividend or discontinue the dividend program should it determine that doing so is in the best interests of our shareholders or is necessary pursuant to Guernsey law, any increase to the per share amount or frequency of the dividend would require shareholder approval.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in millions):

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $170.5 million as of September 30, 2025. Payment of these obligations if any would result from settlements with taxing authorities or final undisputed tax assessments. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing and exact outcome of resolution of audits in progress, these obligations are not included in the above table.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate and may revise our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that, of our significant accounting policies described in the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” , the below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. These policies require that we make estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements as of a given date. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:


Revenue recognition and contract accounting


Tax accounting


Business combinations


Goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets-impairment assessment


Derivative and hedge accounting

Revenue Recognition and Contract Accounting

We follow very specific and detailed guidelines, which are discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue recognition policy:


We evaluate contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) and determine if the contracts should be combined in accordance with the guidance for revenue recognition.


A significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the course of implementation and integration projects, usually based on a percentage that incurred labor effort to date bears to total projected labor effort. The recognition of revenue over time requires the exercise of significant judgment on a quarterly basis, such as with respect to estimates of progress-to-completion, contract revenue, loss contracts and contract costs. Progress in completing such projects may significantly affect our annual and quarterly operating results.


Our revenue recognition policy takes into consideration the creditworthiness and past transaction history of each customer in determining the probability of collection. This determination requires the exercise of judgment, which affects our revenue recognition.


Many of our agreements include multiple performance obligations. We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on the relative standalone selling price (SSP). We determine SSP for the purposes of allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, transactions where the specific performance obligation is sold separately, historical actual pricing practices and geographies in which we offer our services in accordance with ASC 606. The determination of SSP requires the exercise of judgment.


For transactions which involve third-party hardware, software and services, the determination of revenue recognition based on the gross amount or on a net basis requires the exercise of judgment in considering whether we control the third-party hardware, software or services prior to fulfilling the performance obligation.

Tax Accounting

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax expense in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue sharing and reimbursement arrangements among related entities, the process of identifying items of revenue and expenses that qualify for preferential tax treatment and segregation of foreign and domestic income and expense to avoid double taxation.

We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate to our quarterly operating results to determine the interim provision for income tax expense. A change in judgment that impacts the measurement of a tax position taken in a prior year is recognized as a discrete item

36

in the interim period in which the change occurs. In the event there is a significant unusual or infrequent item recognized in our quarterly operating results, the tax attributable to that item is recorded in the interim period in which it occurs.

A valuation allowance is provided for the respective part of the deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize its benefit. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and adjust the valuation allowances accordingly. Factors considered in making this determination include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, tax planning strategies and historical and projected taxable income as well as tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction in which the tax asset is located. Valuation allowances will be subject to change in each future reporting period as a result of changes in one or more of these factors.

Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable in estimating our tax outcome and in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there is no assurance that the final tax outcome and the valuation allowance will not be different than those that are reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision, net income and cash balances in the period in which such determination is made.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. Although we believe our reserves are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, lapse of statute of limitations, or changes in tax law. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material effect on our income tax provision, net income and cash balances in that period. The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

We have filed or are in the process of filing tax returns that are subject to audit by the respective tax authorities. Although the ultimate outcome is unknown, we believe that any adjustments that would result from tax return audits are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Business Combinations

Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities. In accordance with business combinations accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as any contingent consideration that may be part of the acquisition agreement, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Such fair value valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, as a result, we obtain the assistance of independent valuation firms. We complete these assessments as soon as practical after the closing dates. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

For acquisitions that include contingent consideration, the fair value is estimated on the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using weighted probabilities of possible payments. We remeasure the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. Except for measurement period adjustments, the changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. We consider several factors when determining that contingent consideration liabilities are part of the purchase price, such as the following: the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent consideration payments are not affected by employment termination.

Although we believe the assumptions and estimates of fair value we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Critical estimates in valuing certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license and service sales, maintenance, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies, expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when completed and the acquired company’s brand awareness and discount rate. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill, if the changes are related to conditions that existed at the time of the acquisition. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments, based on events that occurred subsequent to the acquisition date, are recorded in our consolidated statements of income.

37

As discussed above under “Tax Accounting,” we may establish a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets and estimate the value of uncertain tax positions of a newly acquired entity. This process requires significant judgment and analysis.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets — Impairment Assessment

Our annual evaluation of impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a quantitative impairment test, if necessary. Quantitative impairment tests are performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill requires judgment during the analysis. In performing a qualitative evaluation, we consider many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including changes in our stock price and market capitalization in relation to our book value and macroeconomic conditions affecting our business. Please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. We perform an annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. We operate in one operating segment, and this segment comprises our only reporting unit. Where a quantitative impairment test is necessary, in calculating the fair value of the reporting unit, we used our market capitalization and a discounted cash flow methodology. There was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal years 2025, 2024 or 2023.

We test long-lived assets, including definite life intangible assets, for impairment in the event an indication of impairment exists. Impairment indicators include any significant changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the strategy of our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant decline in our share price for a sustained period. If the sum of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the cash generating unit and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment would be recognized, and the assets would be written down to their estimated fair values, based on expected future discounted cash flows. There was an immaterial impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Derivative and Hedge Accounting

During fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, approximately 70% to 80% of our revenue and 50% to 60% of our operating expenses were denominated in U.S. dollars or linked to the U.S. dollar. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and options to hedge a significant portion of our foreign currency net exposure resulting from revenue and expense in major foreign currencies in which we operate, in order to reduce the impact of foreign currency on our results. We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and options to reduce the impact of foreign currency on the consolidated balance sheets items. We estimate the fair value of such derivative contracts by reference to forward and spot rates quoted in active markets.

Establishing and accounting for foreign exchange contracts involves judgments, such as determining the fair value of the contracts, determining the nature of the exposure, assessing its amount and timing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the hedging arrangement.

Although we believe that our estimates are accurate and meet the requirement of hedge accounting, if actual results differ from these estimates, such difference could cause fluctuation of our recorded revenue and expenses.

A total of 13 persons who served either as directors or officers of Amdocs during all or part of fiscal year 2025 received remuneration from Amdocs. The aggregate remuneration paid or accrued by us to such persons in fiscal year 2025 was approximately $6.0 million, compared to $5.9 million and $6.3 million in fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2023, respectively, which includes amounts set aside or accrued to provide cash bonuses, pension, retirement or similar benefits, but does not include amounts expended by us for automobiles made available to such persons, expenses (including business travel, professional and business association dues) or other fringe benefits. During fiscal year 2025, we granted to such persons an aggregate of 262,274 restricted shares typically subject to three- to four-year vesting and, often times, achievement of certain performance thresholds, and in the case of our directors, subject to quarterly vesting. In addition, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 81,520 ordinary shares having an exercise price of $92.00 per share expiring seven years from the grant date, with vesting subject to the achievement of certain performance thresholds over a nearly two years performance period. All restricted share awards and options were granted pursuant to our 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended. See discussion below — “Share Ownership — Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan.”

The following table summarizes our compensation philosophy for our directors and executive management — “What we do?” and “What we don’t do?”:

What we do?What we don’t do?
We seek to provide an appropriate mix of short and long-term incentivesNo minimum guaranteed vesting for performance-based equity awards
We target at least 50-70% of executive management compensation to be performance-contingentNo guaranteed performance bonuses
We strive to align executive management compensation with shareholder return through equity incentive awardsNo executive contracts with multi-year guaranteed salary increases or nonperformance bonus arrangements
We set performance objectives, which we believe will drive shareholder returnsNo loans to executives or directors
We use a combination of performance metrics, such as total shareholder return (TSR), earnings per share (EPS) and revenue growth, to ensure that no single measure affects compensation disproportionately
We generally subject equity grants to vesting periods of three to four years to motivate long-term performance, align the interests of executive management and shareholders and provide an incentive for retention
We established stock ownership requirements for executive management and non-employee directors
We include a clawback policy for cash and equity incentive awards beyond those required under SEC and Nasdaq rules

Board Practices

Ten directors currently serve on our Board of Directors, nine of whom were elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders on January 31, 2025, and one director, Ms. Véronique Morali, was appointed by the Board of Directors in May 2025. All directors hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, which generally is in January or February of each calendar year, or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or their positions are earlier vacated by resignation or otherwise. In August 2017, the Board of Directors established a mandatory retirement age of 73 for directors. No person of or over the age of 73 years shall be nominated or elected to start a new term as director, unless the Chairman of the Board of Directors recommends to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors determines, to waive the retirement age for a specific director in exceptional circumstances. Once the waiver is granted, it must be renewed annually for it to stay in effect. In November 2025, Mr. de la Vega and Mr. Minicucci were granted a one-year waivers to continue as directors past the age of 73 years and until the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027 in light of the circumstances presented to the Board of Directors, including their exceptional industry experience and value to the Board, as well as the current global business and market environment. Other than the employment agreement between us and our President and Chief Executive Officer, which provides for immediate cash severance upon termination of employment, there are currently no service contracts in effect between us and any of our directors providing for immediate cash severance upon termination of their employment.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors maintains four committees as set forth below. Members of each committee are appointed by the Board of Directors.

43

The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to, and the performance of, such public accounting firm, and assists with the Board of Directors’ oversight of our accounting practices, financial statement integrity and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, risk assessment and risk management. The current members of our Audit Committee are Mr. Gardner (Chair), Mr. Minicucci and Ms. Davis, all of whom are independent directors, as defined by the rules of Nasdaq, and pursuant to the categorical director independence standards adopted by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Gardner and Ms. Davis is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by rules promulgated by the SEC, and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate as required by the rules of Nasdaq. In particular, we believe that the professional experiences of Mr. Gardner, Mr. Minicucci and Ms. Davis provide important insights into their work on the Audit Committee. For example, we believe Mr. Gardner’s extensive experience as an accountant, technology investment banker and chief financial officer enables him to make valuable contributions to the Committee. In addition, we believe that Mr. Minicucci’s experience as chief financial officer to a public company and treasurer of another public company have provided him with strong business acumen and strategic and financial expertise that benefits the Committee. We also believe Ms. Davis’s extensive executive experience with Loblaw and her myriad roles in finance and accounting, along with her experience as a director of other public companies, position her to make valuable contributions to the Committee. The Audit Committee written charter is available on our website at www.amdocs.com.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors, recommends to the Board of Directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors at the annual general meeting of shareholders, develops and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding our corporate governance principles, oversees the evaluations of our Board of Directors and reviews and recommends compensation (including equity-based compensation) for our directors. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Minicucci (Chair), Genish and MacDonald, all of whom are independent directors, as required by the Nasdaq listing standards, and pursuant to the categorical director independence standards adopted by our Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee written charter is available on our website at www.amdocs.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has approved corporate governance guidelines that are also available on our website at www.amdocs.com.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee discharges the responsibilities of our Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of Amdocs Management Limited, makes recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers and oversees management succession planning for the executive officers of the Company. The current members of our Management Resources and Compensation Committee are Messrs. de la Vega (Chair), Minicucci and MacDonald, all of whom are independent directors, as defined by the rules of Nasdaq, and pursuant to the categorical director independence standards adopted by our Board of Directors. Amongst its responsibilities, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee:


retains, on an annual basis, an independent compensation consultant to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation according to industry benchmarks and best practice;


periodically reviews the relevant peer groups used for compensation benchmarks;


periodically reviews the implementation of our compensation philosophy and programs;


administers our 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, our 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan and any other stock option or equity incentive plans in accordance with their terms; and


oversees the administration of our clawback policies with respect to executive compensation, in line with its charter, including as required pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee written charter is available on our website at www.amdocs.com.

The Technology and Innovation Committee was established to assist the Board of Directors in reviewing our technological development, opportunities and innovation, in connection with the current and future business and markets. The current members of our Technology and Innovation Committee are Mr. MacDonald (Chair), Mr. Gelman, Mr. Genish and Ms. Kanouff.

Our non-employee directors receive no compensation from us, except in connection with their membership on the Board of Directors and its committees as described above regarding Non-Employee Directors under “— Compensation.”

As a company with global operations, we are required to comply with various labor and immigration laws throughout the world. Our employees in certain countries of Europe, and to a limited extent in Canada, Chile and Brazil, are protected by mandatory collective bargaining agreements. To date, compliance with such laws has not been a material burden for us. As the number of our employees increases over time in specific countries, our compliance with such regulations could become more burdensome.

Our principal operating subsidiaries are not party to any collective bargaining agreements. However, our Israeli subsidiaries are subject to certain provisions of general extension orders issued by the Israeli Ministry of Labor and Welfare which derive from various labor related statutes. The most significant of these provisions provide for mandatory pension benefits and wage adjustments in relation to increases in the consumer price index, or CPI. The amount and frequency of these adjustments are modified from time to time.

A small number of our employees in Canada, our employees in Brazil and our employees in Chile have union representation. We have a works council body in the Netherlands and Germany which represents the employees (in Germany, only part of the employees are represented), and with which we work closely to ensure compliance with the applicable local law. We also have an employee representative body in France, Finland and Indonesia.

In the past, Israeli labor unions made efforts to organize workers at companies with significant operations in Israel, including several companies in the technology sector. In addition, a national union and a group of our employees had attempted to secure the approval of the minimum number of employees needed for union certification with respect to our employees in Israel. While these efforts have not resulted in either group being recognized as a representative union, we cannot be certain there will be no such efforts in the future. In the event an organization is recognized as a representative union for our employees in Israel, we would be required to enter into negotiations to implement a collective bargaining agreement. See “Risk Factors — The skilled and highly qualified workforce that we need to develop, implement and modify our solutions may be difficult to hire, train and retain, and we could face increased costs to attract and retain our skilled workforce.”

We consider our relationship with our employees to be good and have never experienced an organized labor dispute, strike or work stoppage.

Share Ownership

Security Ownership of Directors and Senior Management and Certain Key Employees

As of December 2, 2025, the aggregate number of our ordinary shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers was 2,202,257 shares. As of December 2, 2025, none of our directors or members of senior management beneficially owned 1% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Beneficial ownership by a person, as of a particular date, assumes the exercise of all options and warrants held by such person that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days of such date.

Stock Option and Incentive Plan

Our Board of Directors adopted, and our shareholders approved, our 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to which up to 73,550,000 of our ordinary shares may be issued. On January 31, 2025, our shareholders approved an extension of the term of the Equity Incentive Plan to January 31, 2035.

45

The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted shares, stock options and other stock-based awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to enable us to attract and retain qualified personnel and to motivate such persons by providing them with an equity participation in Amdocs. As of September 30, 2025, of the 73,550,000 ordinary shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan, 67,731,010 ordinary shares had been issued as a result of option exercises and restricted share issuances, 1,538,557 ordinary shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units granted under our Equity Incentive Plan and 4,280,433 ordinary shares available for future grants, subject to a sublimit applicable to the award of restricted shares or awards denominated in stock units. As of December 2, 2025, there were outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 893,282 ordinary shares at exercise prices ranging from $54.74 to $92.00 per share and 627,112 shares are subject to outstanding restricted stock units.

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by a committee of our Board of Directors, which determines the terms of awards for directors, employees and consultants as well as the manner in which awards may be made subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan, provided that shareholder approval is required to increase the number of ordinary shares available under the Equity Incentive Plan, to materially increase the benefits accruing to participants, to change the class of employees eligible for participation, to decrease the basis upon which the minimum exercise price of options is determined or to extend the period in which awards may be granted or to grant an option that is exercisable for more than ten years. Ordinary shares subject to restricted stock awards are subject to certain restrictions on sale, transfer or hypothecation. Under its terms, no awards may be granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan after January 31, 2035.

2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan

Our Board of Directors adopted, and our shareholders approved at our annual general meeting of shareholders on January 27, 2023, the Amdocs Limited 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, which became effective upon the filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2023. The maximum number of our ordinary shares that currently may be issued under the ESPP cannot exceed in the aggregate 2,400,000 ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2025, we had issued 1,027,436 ordinary shares under the ESPP and 1,372,564 ordinary shares remained available for issuance.

In November 2025, our Board of Directors approved, subject to approval by our shareholders, an amendment to the ESPP. If approved by our shareholders at the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, the amendment to the ESPP will increase the maximum number of our ordinary shares that may be issued under the ESPP by 2,200,000 ordinary shares, which shares will be registered on a Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no other proposed amendments or changes to the ESPP.

The ESPP is administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and provides eligible employees of Amdocs and its participating subsidiaries with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in our Company through the purchase of ordinary shares. The ESPP includes both a “423 Component,” which is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and a “Non-423 Component,” which is not intended to qualify as such. Under the ESPP, participants have the right to purchase ordinary shares at the end of each purchase period under the ESPP based on their accumulated payroll deductions during the purchase period of a specified percentage of eligible compensation up to 10% (subject to a limitation to accrue the right to purchase ordinary shares up to twenty-five thousand dollars in any calendar year). Each purchase period under the ESPP lasts six months in duration, and the purchase price per ordinary share equals the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares at either the beginning of the purchase period or the end of the purchase period.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee may amend the ESPP at any time in its discretion, except that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to increase the number of ordinary shares available under the ESPP or to make any other change that would require shareholder approval in order for the ESPP to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP may be terminated at any time by our Board of Directors.

Disclosure of Any Action to Recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation

There was no erroneously awarded compensation that was required to be recovered pursuant to the Amdocs Executive Officer Compensation Recoupment Policy during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
