Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Second Quarter 2021 Perficient Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star one on your telephone. If you require any further assistance, please press star zero. It is now my pleasure to introduce Chairman and CEO, Jeff Davis. Thank you, and good morning, everyone. With me on the phone today are Paul Martin, our CFO, and Tom Hogan, our President and COO. I want to thank you for your time this morning. We have a great call ahead. As usual, we'll have about 10- 15 minutes of prepared comments, after which we'll open up the call for questions. Before we proceed, Paul, would you please read the safe harbor statement? Thanks, Jeff, and good morning, everyone. Some of the things we will discuss in today's call concerning future company performance will be forward-looking statements within the meanings of the securities laws. Actual results may materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements, and we encourage you to refer to the additional information contained in our SEC filings concerning factors that could cause those results to be different than contemplated in today's discussion. At times during this call, we will refer to adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA. Our earnings release, including a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP, is posted on our website at www.perficient.com. We have also posted a slide deck, which includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP on our website under Investor Relations. Jeff? Thanks, Paul. Once again, good morning, everyone. Thanks for your time this morning. We're excited to be with you this morning to discuss our second quarter results and provide an updated outlook for the remainder of 2021 that reflects our accelerating momentum and ongoing optimism. During the quarter, we built on our Q1 success and continued to gain new customers, expand existing relationships, and take share. As we head into the second half of the year, the business has never been stronger. On the heels of 42% organic growth in the first quarter, our offshore revenue grew organically 75% during the second quarter, with total offshore revenue growth of 124% during the quarter. Our aggressive global expansion is paying dividends. Not only does it continue to enhance our ability to win larger deals, but it's enabling us to scale more rapidly with existing clients and expand margins along the way. New and existing customers continue to embrace our differentiated delivery model, which I think is really key within the industry. It couples a strong and high-touch domestic presence with the nearshore and global delivery capabilities enterprises require today. During the quarter, we recognized the one-year anniversary of our expansion into Colombia, South America. Our acquisition of the team, now known as Perficient Latin America, has become a meaningful catalyst of growth. In fact, we've added nearly 100 billable resources in Colombia since acquisition and expect this group, like our entire global delivery footprint, to continue to expand even faster on a relative basis than our domestic delivery talent, which we're also scaling more rapidly than ever before. As a matter of fact, in the first half of 2021, North American billable headcount grew nearly 10%. As the second quarter came to a close, we set a record hiring more talent in June than Perficient ever has in a single month before, resulting in over 16% year-over-year growth for the quarter. Tom will share the full details regarding large wins during the quarter shortly, but bookings obviously remain strong. Like Q1, we closed several seven-figure deals across industries, as well as an eight-figure deal in the financial services industry, which is a vertical where we're seeing strong investment interest and intent in 2021. The pipeline, as I mentioned earlier, remains robust, and importantly, it's comprised not only of opportunities to expand within existing accounts, but we're also in meaningful discussions with net new logos around large and long-term seven- and eight-figure work streams. In fact, net new client acquisition in 2021 is another success worth highlighting. Among the dozens of net new clients we've added this year, there are nine we consider very substantial, large enterprise accounts where we believe the potential exists for us to build long-term relationship worth many millions of dollars a piece per year. Our strong channel relationships and key partnerships remain a significant differentiator. In recent weeks, Perficient was named the 2021 Americas recipient of Sitecore's Partner Award for Excellence in Solution Delivery, as well as an Optimizely Premier Platinum Partner, one of just three partners in North America with this distinction, by the way, and a global finalist for the Microsoft Healthcare Partner of the Year Award. Paul will speak to the financial results shortly, but we were again pleased with the key performance metrics, including utilization, which was up 2 basis points domestically and 8 points in our global development centers. I should say 2 points domestically and 8 points in our global development centers. Our global teams are fully integrated and collaborating constantly, and our leaders are proactively managing our quickly growing talent pool across the spectrum of accounts and opportunities. With that, I'll turn the call over to Paul, who will share the financial results for the second quarter and first half. Paul? Thanks, Jeff. Let me start with the second quarter results. Services revenues excluding reimbursable expenses were $181.2 million for the second quarter, a 25.6% increase over the comparable prior year period. Gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased 80 basis points to 38.5% compared to the prior year period. SG&A expense was $37.4 million compared to $33.9 million in the comparable prior year period. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 20.3% from 23.1% in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was $39 million, or 21.2% of revenues, compared to $26.4 million or 18% of revenues in the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2021 included amortization expense of $6.3 million compared to $4.4 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily associated with the PSL acquisition. Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $3.4 million from $2.1 million in the comparable prior year period, primarily as a result of the August 2020 convertible debt offering. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was 27% compared to 31.8% in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to lower non-deductible acquisition costs, partially offset by lower tax benefits recognized related to research and development as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net income increased 151% to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of higher gross margins, lower SG&A as a percentage of revenue, lower acquisition costs, and lower adjustments to fair value of contingent consideration. Diluted GAAP earnings per share increased to $0.49 a share for the second quarter of 2021 from $0.20 a share in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted earnings per share increased to $0.84 a share for the second quarter of 2021 from $0.57 a share in the second quarter of 2020. Please see the press release for a full reconciliation to GAAP earnings. I'll now turn to the year-to-date results through June. Services revenue excluding reimbursable expenses were $347.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 21.9% increase over the comparable prior year period. Gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 120 basis points to 38% compared to the prior year period. SG&A expense was $71.4 million compared to $67.1 million in the comparable prior year period. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 20.2% from 23% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $73.6 million or 20.8% of revenues, compared to $50.1 million or 17.2% of revenues in the comparable prior year period. The six months ended June 30, 2021 included amortization expense of $13.4 million compared to $8.3 million in the comparable prior year period. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $6.7 million from $4 million in the comparable prior year period, primarily as a result of the August 2020 convertible debt offering. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 23.6% compared to 22.8% in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to relative decrease in tax benefits recognized related to share-based compensation deductions, partially offset by lower non-deductible acquisition costs compared to the prior year period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $30.2 million compared to $15.6 million in the comparable prior year period. Diluted GAAP earnings per share was $0.90 a share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.48 in the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per share increased to $1.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $1.07 in the comparable prior year period. Our ending billable headcount at June 30, 2021 was 4,443 including 4,108 billable consultants and 335 subcontractors. In addition, we had ending SG&A headcount of 680. Our outstanding debt net of unamortized debt discount and deferment costs as of June 30, 2021 was $188.7 million. We also had $86.7 million in cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, and $199.8 million of unused borrowing capacity on our credit facility. Our balance sheet continues to leave us well positioned to execute against our strategic plan. Days sales outstanding on accounts receivable decreased to 69 days at the end of the second quarter compared to 71 days at the end of the second quarter of 2020. I'll now turn the call over to Tom Hogan for a little more commentary. Tom? Thank you, Paul. Good morning, everybody. As Jeff mentioned, bookings remained strong in the second quarter. We booked 89 deals greater than $500,000 during the second quarter of 2021, which compares to 66 in the year ago period. You may recall in the first quarter, we booked 92 deals greater than $500,000 compared to 71 in the first quarter of 2020. Combined, 181 deals greater than $500,000 during the first half of the year compared to 137 in the prior year period. I expect we'll see similar gains, by the way, throughout the remainder of the year. Nearly 45% of our billable employees are now offshore, and that global talent is embedded into virtually every single large deal we win and deliver. One example of this is a recent multimillion-dollar win and account expansion at a state-licensed private health insurance company that wanted to consolidate the ongoing development of their membership experience platform under a single vendor and selected Perficient as their primary partner. Our global team of experts will be responsible for digital experience development, including new development, enhancements, and testing for the provider's member portal deployment. Jeff also mentioned strength in our financial services vertical. We also recently expanded our relationship with a global fintech leader and their strategic partnership with a leading wealth management company to create a next-generation wealth management industry platform. Our team has been instrumental to developing, delivering, supporting, and managing the program, which has resulted in improved financial advisor productivity, a richer client experience, and completely digitizing their enterprise-wide operations. That success has now led to our involvement with data management, data integration, and increased offshore support. Finally, I want to take a minute to congratulate the 22 women who recently graduated from our inaugural Bright Paths program, which is designed to advance STEM education and opportunities for underrepresented constituencies and communities. We were floored with the level of progress these students made in the fully funded 14-week program, and we're even more excited that the majority of them subsequently accepted offers to join our team full time. This pilot program was so successful, we're planning on announcing two more by the end of the year. Again, a great first half, and we're focused on even more of the same in H2. With that, I'll turn things back over to Jeff to discuss third quarter and the remainder of the year. Thanks, Tom. Perficient expects its third quarter 2021 revenue to be in the range of $186 million-$191 million. Third quarter GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.49-$0.52. Third quarter adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.83-$0.86. Perficient now expects its full year 2021 revenue to be in the range of $723 million-$738 million. 2021 GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $1.93-$2.05, and 2021 adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.20-$3.30. With that, operator, we can open up the call for questions. Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Our first question comes from the line of Maggie Nolan with William Blair. Thank you. Tom or Jeff, I am wondering if you can provide a little bit more detail on the growth of the offshore revenue. Is there any pattern there in terms of what type of client or tenure, and then what type of project work that may be driving the growth here? Yeah, I'll start and let Tom add any color he may want to. It's really a combination of a number of sources, not the least of which is existing accounts where we're expanding and taking share more into the offshore and nearshore space. We've gained the scale and critical mass now where we're able to readily scale, as you can see, and take on more of that work at existing accounts. That said, there are many new accounts, most of which actually are opening up with some element of offshore or nearshore as a component of even those initial engagements. I think it's driven from both sources. I think that continues. It's a strategic focus of ours. We're really leading with it now from a marketing and sales standpoint. I think we'll continue to see that outpacing North America. Tom, anything to add? No, I concur. Nothing to add. Okay, thanks. On the talent side of things, you're obviously adding a lot of talent. Are there any difficult geographies or where you're running into trouble attracting talent or any areas where you're seeing spiked attrition? Your kind of updated thoughts on how willing you are to use subcontractors. Thanks. Once again, I'll kick it off here, and again, Tom, if you want to add anything. You may or may not be aware that talent acquisition, along with HR, actually reports to Tom now and has for some time. Talent acquisition is a key focus of ours. We've invested a lot in the talent acquisition team proper, including leadership and certainly at the recruiter level as well. Nothing stands out specific to your question. I say this all the time because it's true. Even when times are not as good as they are now, it's always tough to find good talent. Sure, in some of the really hot areas that we focus on in the digital space, it's a little harder to find folks. We invest a lot organically in training and sort of growing our own. We're doing a fair amount of campus recruiting as well to supplement that. Attrition has picked up some, as you might imagine. I think we had sort of pent-up demand, if you will, and enjoyed some very low attrition during the COVID timeframe or the peak of COVID, I should say. That's, I think, a temporary thing, and really, it's only returned to kind of normal industry levels of around 20%, high teens. I don't think any geography stands out particularly. As you can tell by the results, we're having great success recruiting in India and Latin America as well as North America. I think we're very optimistic that we'll be able to meet the demand that we're seeing. I probably didn't leave you much, Tom, but if you want to add anything, go right ahead. No, I think that's right. Maggie, you also asked about subcontractors, and we continue to utilize subcontractors where it makes sense for certain skills. We're competing quite nicely for talent. Although attrition has, as Jeff mentioned, ticked up a little bit, we continue to be a destination that people want to join. Our projects are exciting, our team is great, our value is great, and people really want to join an organization with the value proposition that we have. Feeling good about that right now. Thank you. Nice quarter. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mayank Tandon with Needham & Company. Thank you. Good morning. Let me also echo my congratulations, Jeff and the team. Strong quarter. I wanted to start, Jeff, with your thoughts around the book-to-bill. I don't know if you are giving specific metrics around bookings, but if you could provide any sort of qualitative color, if not quantitative, around how that's been trending, maybe more by vertical. If you're seeing strength across the board, or are you seeing any sort of pockets of weakness that might end up picking up the slack? That could be a potential upside catalyst as you move through the back half of 2021 into 2022. Yeah, I think it's really kind of a tide lifting all boats. I'll tell you, Mayank, I think a lot of it has to do, I think there's a little bit of kind of pent-up demand, if you will, again, from the peak of COVID. I think it's far less that than it is the sort of culmination or coming into fruition all the investments that you've heard me talk about for some time around our sales team as well as our marketing lead generation. All those things have matured very nicely over the last couple of years, and I think we were beginning to see some of that in 2019. COVID was a little bit of a setback, but I think it's driving a lot of it now. In terms of industry, I mentioned during the prepared statements that financial services is really picking up nicely for us. We've got a very strong management consulting capability within that space. I've always felt like we've been underrepresented on the technology side, and that's changing. We've mentioned an 8-figure deal there. We're seeing a lot of nice pickup there. I would say I feel pretty good about our representation across industries and don't really feel like there's any that necessarily represent any big opportunity or any big catalyst down the road outside of financial services. In terms of bookings, yeah, we don't provide specifics, but I can certainly provide some color. About trailing five months is about the thing that we focus on most. I can tell you that the bookings certainly reflect what we're seeing in the revenue. There's more to come. We've had very strong bookings this quarter, and particularly if you look at that trailing five-month metric, looks very strong. I will tell you our backlog as we sit here today and even looking forward into 2022, particularly into the first quarter, because a lot of the bookings that we're realizing now will be, again, the highest correlation to revenue will be in the beginning of next year, is very strong. The backlog is the largest it's ever been, of course, in absolute dollars. No surprise there. It's also the largest as a percent of our look-forward forecast. We're very excited. We're very confident in the sustainability of what we're seeing right now based on the bookings we're enjoying right now. The pipeline behind that just continues to rebuild. We've got a very great amount of confidence around, again, the go forward, and the bookings are certainly supporting that. That's a very helpful color, Jeff. Then a really quick one around margins. Given some of the headwinds around wage inflation, given the strength of demand, you mentioned the attrition rates, et c, is pricing starting to uptick given the demand backdrop to help maybe offset some of those headwinds along with the offshore mix to drive the margin expansion that you've typically targeted? Or are you seeing any sort of changes on that front as you move forward? I think our margin expansion, and I mentioned this at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year, I said we're expecting maybe 50-100 basis points in gross margin, but 150-200 in EBITDA. The big difference there being scale. I think we're going to continue to see that. We're running about 40% adjusted gross margin right now, and we like that. I think it's a healthy number for us. We're not pressing to drive rates up too much. We're much more focused on that top-line growth. That said, we do intend to maintain and possibly expand modestly that 40%. Again, I think we'll end up right in that sort of 50-100 range for the year. Next year, I would expect something similar. Again, it's too early to really say. I do think you're right. I think even in order to maintain the 40%, the industry in general is tightening. We'll see some price upticks. We certainly are right now. At the same time, we're winning these really large deals that do require, or I should say are more competitive and require a little more aggressive pricing. At the same time, you have less turnover on those deals, right? Even though the rates may not be as high, the margin's still good because you've got higher utilization, and you have less churn of the folks hitting the bench in between projects. Again, I feel very good about keeping that 40%+ intact. Likewise, I think we'll continue to see solid expansion of the EBITDA line. Great. Thank you so much for taking my questions. Thanks, Mayank. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Surinder Thind with Jefferies. Good morning, guys. One of the things that I kind of wanted to get a little bit more color on is just understanding the visibility that you have in the quarter and how that progresses. Can you walk me through when you last provided guidance and then kind of where we ended up in terms of coming in above the top end of that guidance? Is that a case of where just there's so much client demand and the reservation or the conservatism comes from being able to find enough people to fill that demand, or how should we think about how demand is evolving and how that could potentially evolve on a go-forward basis? Yeah, I think literally, as you noted, it's a pretty dynamic forecast driven largely by a dynamic market, of course. I think we always try to build in some level of conservatism assuming that maybe not all these deals are going to close or that we're not going to be hitting necessarily on all cylinders. I think things came together even better, obviously, than we expected. We've tried to get a little more, I'd say, a little less conservative going forward, a little more aggressive in terms of what we put out there for this quarter and the rest of the year. At the same time, we feel very, very comfortable in it. In terms of visibility, which you opened with that tends to vary as well. As I said earlier, we've got a bigger backlog, both absolutely and as a percent of our overall look forward than we've had before. That's given us the confidence to sort of raise guidance, obviously, and feel very good about and very confident in what we've put out there. We do try to be conservative. We were probably overly conservative with the benefit of hindsight in the second quarter. That's a good thing, I think. Again, we've tried to get a little more aggressive or a little less conservative going forward because things are going that well. The pipeline is that strong. Bookings continue to perform at a level above historical. At the same time, I think that's sustainable. That's helpful. Maybe as a follow on, it sounds like perhaps the win rates were maybe a little bit better than they have been historically. Is that the right way to think about some of the commentary you just made about things coming out really good in terms of some of the deal wins and stuff, or how should we think about things competitively at this point versus maybe where things were historically? Yep. I think our win rates are in line with historical. I expect that that will continue. I expect that they may even tick down. What I mean by that is, I alluded to it earlier, but we've added a ton of capacity in sales. Keep in mind that we've been adding it every year really every quarter, every month. A lot of those folks that we've added are coming into their own. They're maturing, right? If you go back people that we hired two years ago are really beginning to hit their stride. I think that's a part of what we're seeing right now, and I mentioned this earlier, is that we've gotten a lot more effective at recruiting, onboarding, and supporting our sales team and their success. That's another factor in all this that is relatively new. Again, I think we would've seen it last year if not for COVID. We saw a little bit of it in 2019. I think that's another major factor going forward. In fact, win rates are great. We are still better than 50% against the competition in an even playing field, actually closer to 60%, around 60%. Again, I wouldn't be shocked if that actually came down a little as we're getting more advanced. Got it. Related to just kind of the demand environment, can you talk a little bit about utilization? One of the things that I was looking at was the headcount growth. Obviously, you're adding at a very fast pace at this point. How sustainable is some of that as you kind of look further out? Obviously, you're trying to balance or use a crystal ball to figure out demand longer term, but at the same time, are you also addressing perhaps elevated utilization levels at this point, or how should we think about that dynamic? We actually really feel good about utilization. We've talked about kind of 80%, 81% as a sustainable goal across the year, right? That's seasonal to some degree. First quarter, fourth quarter are going to be a little bit lower end of that, or maybe even in the high 70s, although I think this year it'll be in the low 80s. It does peak up, tends to peak up in Q2 and Q3. We're running 82.5%, I think, or something like that in the first quarter in North America and similarly offshore. Interestingly, most of our competitors run higher utilization offshore than we do simply because we're recruiting as much as we are and hiring ahead so that we have that capacity to be prepared for the additional demand. I think we're very comfortable with where utilization is right now. As I mentioned before, the recruiting arm is talent acquisition arm is working extremely well, both in North America and elsewhere. We're having great success. Tom mentioned it. People are excited about the Perficient story. We're taking employees away from competitors. At the same time, as Tom mentioned, with Bright Paths, I mentioned with college recruiting, we're also bringing in new sources, right? New sources of supply and doing training on our own. We're really ramping up the capacity and scalability of that as well. I think things have gone really well. I think that'll continue going forward. I think, honestly, we just continue to tune that, and get better and better at it. Now, like I said, or as Tom mentioned earlier, I think the Perficient story from a recruiting standpoint is super strong. That's very helpful. Thank you, Jeff, and congratulations on the quarter. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brian Kinstlinger with Alliance Global Partners. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. As you continue to shift your mix of delivery, I guess I'm curious, and you mentioned you're not going to get much higher than 40% margins, maybe at short-term, I don't know if it's long-term. I'm curious what the long-term adjusted operating margin, EBITDA margin, however you're looking at it is, and where do you think long-term offshore onsite delivery mix can mature to for your company? Yeah, it's a great question. I mentioned during the prepared statements that onshore is growing extremely well. I think this is really important for people to understand. Something that's extremely unique about us, compared to our competition, onshore, offshore, nearshore, is that we have the combination of all three. We've got a phenomenal onshore capability that's high touch, strategic, helps clients drive their business goals and understand that, and how to support those through systems and technology. Then we've got this great delivery, development capability of super bright, intelligent, great folks offshore and nearshore. If I had to guess, I'd like to see us getting to about a 50/50 mix in terms of revenue. On a positive note, onshore keeps growing too. I think it's the combination. It's that model that continues to grow together. Now, of course, offshore and nearshore are outpacing. I do think that it'll be a while maybe before we got to the 50/50 mix. But it's a really powerful combination, and it's really resonating very well. I was just with one of our largest clients the other day, and they commented that and this is them comparing us to Accenture and larger competitors, that no one else has presented us with the sort of global capability of offshore or nearshore or onshore. And the strength that they've witnessed in each of those in terms of our delivery capability and the skill set. I think that's a very differentiated model, and it's something that's working extremely well. If you look at us compared to offshore or nearshore competitors, I won't name, we all know who they are. We're growing 75%, and they're doing great. They're growing at 25%. If you look at the like for like, right. That $35-$40 an hour range of services, we're growing three times as fast as they are. I think that's because of that combination. Does that suggest that you can sustain roughly 100 basis points plus or minus any given year of margin expansion as long as you grow double digits? Yeah. I'm sorry, back to your EBITDA question. I think so. I do think we continue to expand EBITDA. Now, keep in mind that we will want to, and we already are, but we're going to want to continue to reinvest in the business. I do think adjusted EBITDA continues to expand. I think we'll end the year around 20%, maybe above 20%. Literally in the year above 20%, but have for the total year over 20% or so plus. I think that's implied in our guidance. I think we can add to that next year. I think 100 basis points is a real reasonable expectation for next year. Again, it's the power of the economies of that scale as we continue to grow the business at the pace we are. I think absolutely can deliver that kind of expansion. Great. My other question is, it's been quite some time by Perficient standards since you've completed an acquisition. Is that because there's so much organic opportunity? Are valuations too high right now? Maybe some other reason. If you can just maybe help us or walk us through what you're thinking today about M&A. Yeah, absolutely. No, we've been very active on the M&A front. I think it's a combination of all those things that you mentioned. Except the organic. Like I said, we're still as active and aggressive on M&A as we've always been. Valuations, in some cases, have gotten a little nutty. I think if you follow Perficient for very long, you know that we've got a very disciplined program. We're happy to wait for things to come around if we need to, if we feel like a deal is that overvalued. However, that's not necessarily the issue. I think a lot of these entrepreneurs are looking around at a very healthy environment, are feeling like they're going to hold on to their businesses. We're seeing a combination of all those things. Frankly, I think the capital gains rate uncertainty is a factor as well. The threat of that being retroactive, I think has impacted it some. All that said, we are actually in advanced stages right now with an acquisition. I do think we'll get another deal or two, perhaps even three done before the end of the year. It's just been a matter of, again, those things aligning to our standard, to be honest. Great. Thanks so much. Thanks, Brian. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Puneet Jain with JP Morgan. Hey. Very good quarter, guys. Jeff, how do we reconcile a strong pipeline and bookings and the comments around improved win rates with sequentially flattish to modestly up revenue growth implied in the guidance? From Q1 to Q2, you grew 10% on sequential basis and do not expect as much growth in the second half. Is it just like the normal seasonality or is there some conservatism baked in the guidance? Well, I think on a year-over-year basis, the guidance implies basically the same growth for the second half that we enjoyed in Q2, which is actually higher than the first half, which would imply better growth than the first half. Comps pick up a little bit, particularly in Q4. I think the comps weigh into that. I think we're trying to be reasonably conservative. As I said before, we got a little more aggressive than perhaps we've been in the past. I think we're still trying to be conservative and make sure that we deliver what we say we're going to deliver. Got you. I'm sorry, you might have addressed this before. What are you seeing for wage inflation? A lot of your peers, specifically in India, are talking about seeing a spike in attrition rates, spike in wage inflation. Are you also seeing increased inflation rates among your employee base? Not really, actually. I think that speaks again to the uniqueness of the opportunity that we have here. Firstly, I'll say that I think we already pay a competitive wage. I think that's one of the reasons that we're able to attract the talent that we attract from some of our competitors, and that is that I think we've got a better compensation and benefits package than they do anyway. I think we've already got that advantage. Right now we're not seeing sort of runaway wage inflation. We're anticipating sort of standard merit increase levels that we've basically applied over the last couple or three years, maybe a half point more. For the most part. The attrition, by the way, both in Latin America and India, have been quite similar to here. Really our experience, I think, is far better than our competitors. Again, I think it's all those things that we talked about before. I think it's culture. I think it's already paying a competitive wage to begin with. Quite honestly, I assume they've got some catching up to do. Understood. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Vincent Colicchio with Barrington Research. Yeah. Jeff, I'm curious, with the nice growth in larger deals, are you seeing a flattening of the pyramid benefit margin? Of course, the base of that pyramid is shifting more to offshore and nearshore. I want to be careful about that. They have their own pyramid as well. Those folks are similarly or equivalently talented, skilled, experienced as onshore. Yes, obviously there's some scale there with these larger deals. At the same time, those deals do tend to be a little more price competitive. I think it's a balance or balances there. I do think we made some temporary discounts to some of our larger accounts that we're seeing kind of roll off now. Again, I think it's quite possible we'll see rates pick up a little bit in the second half. I'll tell you, our primary focus right now is preserve margins, expand modestly gross margin, you heard me say this before, and focus on top-line revenue growth. My understanding is the pandemic has been fairly rough in Colombia. Has that caused any challenges in terms of employees getting sick and needing to increase a cushion of lower utilization rates to kind of protect yourself there? Yeah. Our experience has been pretty positive. The demographic rate of our employees is a little different than probably the average in both India and Colombia. Without getting into anything geopolitical, our experience has been pretty good. Obviously the whole pandemic's a travesty and is made up of a lot of personal tragedies. Our folks are younger. They tend to be healthy. The biggest disruption, sadly, tends to be a family member falling ill or worse, and them needing to take some time to deal with that. In spite of that, utilization has maintained or even ticked up. Knock on wood so far, I would say that our teams have been resilient and done an amazing job of dealing with a terrible situation, and really the impact to Perficient has been minimal. What was your organic growth in the quarter? I missed that. 21.5%. Okay. That's it for me. Nice quarter. Thanks, Vincent. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jack Vander Aarde with Maxim Group. Great. Thank you. Good morning, guys. Congrats on another solid quarter, another strong guide. Couple questions. Maybe for Jeff. Clearly organic growth has been solid. It's really rebounded. Sounds like from another analyst question, there's a lot of activity going on behind the scenes still for acquisitions. That's good to hear. I know you guys are very thoughtful in finding the right fit, so that's all fine. I guess I want to revisit your bigger picture, kind of multi-year outlook view, for organic growth. I think prior to COVID, you guys were targeting maybe like a general rule of thumb, like a 10% or so organic growth, kind of like a sustainable target. You're far outpacing that for this year now in 2021, obviously. Is there any change in terms of when you look at the next three years, four years out? Any reason you'd expect changes to your kind of target organic growth outlook of, say, 10% or whatever it is? Yeah. I think that's right. I think it's sort of a stairstep function, right? Once you get to one level, you raise the bar and move to the next level. I feel like 10%'s probably in the rear view. Yeah, we feel really good about moving that target up to probably mid-teens or better, sustainably. Again, I'll go right back to what I said before about the maturity and the effectiveness of our marketing. Everything from the whole sales cycle, right? Everything from marketing, lead gen, our partnerships. Probably most importantly, the capacity and the management team that we've added around sales and that we continue to build on. We continue to add capacity ahead of growth, so that we're fueling that next level. Yeah, I would say that, again, hopefully the 10% is behind us and we're moving on to 15%+. Fantastic. Question for Paul, maybe more of a clarification or definition kind of question on organic growth. When we're looking at the third quarter revenue guidance, I guess first question is: Is there an underlying organic revenue growth in your third quarter revenue guidance? Yeah. The guidance is, I think, 18%-21% in Q3. Because of the timing of acquisitions, essentially everything will be organic effective for Q3. We haven't closed any acquisitions since June of last year. Okay, great. That was the question I was kind of walking towards, the denominator in your organic growth formula now is much more simple when I see your organic and your total revenue growth for the third quarter. We've passed the one-year mark now from the last acquisition. Organic is synonymous now with total revenue growth. Right. Then, of course, if we close another deal, then that'll change a bit. Yes. For now, that's where we are. Great. Just a follow-up question on revenue. The revenue beat for the second quarter the full year revenue guidance raise. I think the second quarter revenue beat the midpoint of your guidance by about $8 million or so. The full year 2021 revenue guidance was significantly increased, but well above that beat. Which tells me you have a lot of confidence, obviously your comments about the pipeline and the backlog is strong. Everything seems very solid here. Just because of the size of the full year raise of revenue, can you split this between organic growth outperformance offshore and onshore? I guess that's really the only way to split it at this point now. How much of that raise is offshore and onshore outperformance? Keep in mind that offshore is still even though it's growing very quickly, still only about 15% of revenue. I would say that, let's call it 20%. The lion's share of that is still gonna be onshore, just by the, what is it, 4x rate differential. Probably something around 15% and 5%, somewhere in that range. I mentioned at least from a headcount standpoint, we grew onshore 16% organic in the second quarter. I think we're seeing that demand and that mix of demand continuing. I think offshore will still be above 50%. I don't know that it'll hit 75%. It could well do that. I would say the breakdown's probably something along those lines, 15% and 5%. Okay. Very helpful. Thank you. That's all my questions. Solid results, guys. Excellent quarter. Thanks, Jack. Thanks, Jack. Thank you. I'll now turn the call back over to Chairman and CEO, Jeff Davis, for any closing remarks. Well, once again, everyone, thank you for your time today. Obviously, you can see and hopefully hear our excitement in what I think is another sort of era for Perficient. You can also tell, I think that we're very bullish and confident. In fact, I'll leave you with this thought. Our focus and attention is more on 2022 right now than it is the rest of 2021, which given that we're only halfway through the year, that's kind of a unique statement for us. That'll give you some idea, again, about our confidence and our outlook. Thank you for your time today. Look forward to talking again in another 90 days. Take care. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating, and you may now disconnect.
