Background on the Amdocs Securities Class Litigation
Amdocs, headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, provides software and services to communications, cable and satellite, entertainment, and media industry service providers worldwide. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Amdocs overstated its profits, cash, and liquidity but understated its debts; (2) Amdocs concealed its large borrowing by “window-dressing” its balance sheets, which included paying down debts before the end of each quarter to show a debt-free balance sheet and then re-borrowing those debts; (3) although Amdocs reported that its results showed the stability of its North American business, that business was declining annually, due in part to the loss of AT&T as a customer; (4) many reputable auditors resigned and were subsequently replaced by “scandal-plagued or tiny shops”; and (5) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 31, 2021, before the open of the market, Jehoshaphat Research released a report detailing several instances of misconduct by Amdocs. Specifically, the report revealed the extent of the Company’s overstated financials, according to a former American DOX executive who stated that, “[t]he US business was declining at a rate of [around] 7% annually...but then we would see the company [publish results that] say North America is stable…We would send [our quarterly numbers] to Israel…and somehow everything all comes out as favorable…every quarter [from 2016-on], that came as a big surprise.” Amdocs also “window-dressed” its balance sheets to conceal the large amount of money it was borrowing each quarter. In reality, Amdocs was losing the critical business of its customer AT&T and there was a concerning pattern of the resignation of multiple auditors, only later to be replaced by “scandal-plagued or tiny shops.” On this news, Amdocs’s share price fell $9.19 per share, or 11.58%, from its closing price of $79.34 on March 30, 2021, to close at $70.15 per share on March 31, 2021.
