LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Result of Operations

 

The global meltdown has made a significant impact on the growth of the IT industry and the economy at large and KPIT is no exception to this. Revenue growth in the fiscal has declined, with total sales in revenue terms being comparatively lower than previous year. Due to the global meltdown, like other IT companies, the Company also decided to shift its onsite operations to offshore. The change in this business model, resulted into a decline in revenues. However the total volume of business and the number of employees working on the projects have remained almost same as previous year. The Company has managed to sustain its trend of growth in profits. In light of the same, the result of operations is reported herein below. Total consolidated revenue for the fiscal year 2009-10 (FY10) was Rs. 7,316.41 Million. Gross Profit and Earnings before depreciation, interest and tax (EBITDA) are Rs.3,225.91 Million and Rs.1,614.43 Million, respectively. Gross profit margin improved by 0.41% to 44.1% of the revenue. Net profit after tax grew by 30.19% to Rs.857.31 Million. The revenues for the year on a consolidated basis in USD terms are USD 154.52 Million as against USD 174.10 Million during the previous year. Average realization rate was Rs. 47.35 per US Dollar. Standalone revenue fo  the fiscal year 2009-10 (FY10) was Rs. 4,270.45 Million. Gross profit is at Rs.1,945.55 Million. Net profit after tax grew by 24.98% to Rs.784.50 Million.

 

Transfer to Reserves

 

They propose to transfer Rs. 79 Million to the General Reserve. An amount of Rs. 704.21 Million is proposed to be retained in the Profit and Loss Account.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Revenues:

 

Revenues for the year stood at USD 153.76 Million. In Rupee terms, revenues were Rs. 7,316.41 Million as compared to Rs. 7,931.55 Million last year. This was the first year in the last 10 years, where they registered a fall in year on year revenues. Their Top Customer, Cummins, reduced the total IT spend drastically this year as compared to the last year and as a result the decline in Cummins absolute revenues was Rs. 889 Million during the year. The non Cummins revenues, including Sparta revenues, grew by Rs. 274 Million, resulting in total absolute decline in revenues of Rs. 615 Million. Though the full year saw a decline in the revenues, the real decline came only in the first Quarter of the financial year, followed by QOQ growth in the next 3 quarters of the year. Onsite revenues declined by 17.37% and the offshore revenues were flat. In volume terms the onsite volumes declined by 8.90% whereas the offshore volumes grew by 1.83% resulting in the overall volume growth being flat.

 

They have been able to maintain their absolute revenues in US geography even after the steep fall in Cummins revenues which was aided by the acquisition of Sparta Consulting Inc., the revenues for which were consolidated for a period of four and half months during the year. Europe registered a sharp decline which was also contributed by the rupee appreciation against the euro and sterling pound. Their India business has grown by almost 50% during the year over FY2009. The vertical fall in Apac revenues other than India was arrested by this exceptional growth in India geography.

 

Manufacturing as an industry was worst hit during the economic downturn which was reflected in their revenues from this vertical during the year. Though within manufacturing vertical the automotive industry was even nastier, their automotive vertical saw a decline in revenues only in the first quarter. Their work in this area is more of R and D nature and of less discretionary nature, they were able to maintain their share of revenues in this space after the fall in the first quarter. The BFSI segment led the economic recovery and they were also able to grow their small pie of BFSI during the year. Energy and Utilities vertical was opened up during the year with a small share in the total revenues of the Company.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Development:

 

The fiscal year 2009-10 can be described as a year of economic turbulence. The mortgage and fiscal crisis took on the global economy, followed by unemployment, declining GDP and weakened demand environment. IT industry was also affected adversely by this turmoil. The technology related spending was reduced drastically. There was not much uptick in the demand scenario and pricing pressures were felt across the industry with clients emphasizing on contract renegotiation. Some customers went bankrupt, while others were delaying the payments and deals. With the rapidly changing macro-economic scenario, customer demands and expectations have also changed. Customers are maintaining a cautious approach while spending money on their IT requirements. They are also looking for optimum utilization of that money by deriving maximum value in the products and solutions offered. This has emphasized the need for transformation in business models and service delivery, while bringing in more flexibility. The industry is looking to diversify beyond its key offerings and markets, defining new business and pricing models, transforming the delivery process through technology innovation and thus ensuring cost efficiency.

 

 

STRUCTURAL CHANGES:

 

l Changing Customer Demand — Customer requirements are changing as they expect IT to play a key role in increasing their enterprise value. This doesn’t focus on simple cost cutting measures but transformation needs to be done in business processes, workforce practices, operation logistics, sales and marketing methodology and information use.

 

l Emergence of new models — Companies understand the significance of IT to the economic performance which extends beyond managing expenditures. Emergence of SAAS and cloud computing, shared services, and more selective outsourcing are some new priorities to address constrained IT budgets.

 

l New markets — The traditional markets of US and Europe have always been the core growth markets for the IT industry. In verticals, BFSI has been the dominant industry vertical for majority of the IT companies till now. The revival in the overall IT spend was driven by recovery in North America and BFSI, while the emerging markets like APAC and emerging verticals like retail/ healthcare and Energy & Utilities have further contributed to the uptick.

 

l Varied offerings — Indian IT service offerings have grown from application development and maintenance, to end-to-end solutioning, with testing services, engineering and R and D services, infrastructure services, consulting and system integration. These are the new service areas for increased IT spending.

 

l Innovation — IT industry has been developing its capabilities to bring in transformation in the business processes through increased R and D spend. Now the IT companies are more focused on IP creation, development of new technologies including process and business model innovation and increased domain expertise. There has been a 29 times increase in patents over FY2005-FY2008, and average R and D spend of 1 per cent of revenues. (Source: NASSCOM SR 2010)

 

l Green growth — There is an emerging green revolution where the industry looks forward to develop a business model that is not only competitive but sustainable with minimum ecological footprint. The industry is estimated to aggregate revenues of USD 73.1 Billion in FY2010, with the IT software and services industry accounting for USD 63.7 Billion of revenues. Export revenues are estimated to gross USD 50.1 Billion in FY2010, growing by 5.4 per cent over FY2009, and contributing 69 per cent of the total IT-BPO revenues. Software and services exports (including BPO) are expected to account for over 99 per cent of total exports, employing around 1.8 million employees. The engineering design and products development segments that involve IP driven service capabilities command an exports revenue share of 20 per cent, generating revenues of USD 10 Billion in FY2010,

growing by 4.2 per cent. The demand scenario has improved in the last two quarters of FY 2009-10 with improving deal flow, volume growth, stable pricing and faster decision making cycle. These improving economic conditions indicate towards return of customer confidence and growth revival. IT services is expected to grow by 2.4 per cent in 2010, and 4.2 per cent in 2011 as companies coming out of recession are now looking at IT for achieving the competitive edge.

Company’s Focus and Strategy:

 

Challenges:

 

The industries to which they offer their services and solutions have been badly hit by this downturn. Manufacturing industry has been the worst impacted with manufacturers reducing their capacity utilization, cutting down on the overall IT spends and halting the discretionary IT projects. The automotive industry faced the heat with declining car sales. Weak or negative GDP growth and the financial crisis created pressure on the automakers credit profile. The global semiconductor industry saw revenues declining by 10.5% in 2009 to USD 228.4 Billion. This was the first time when the semiconductor industry saw two consecutive years of revenue decline. There is a new challenge as manufacturers need to save costs to protect their financial results, while they also need innovative products and solutions to retain the existing and acquire the new customers.

 

Opportunities:

 

The economic challenges have provided an impetus to create new growth opportunities. As companies have been fighting the economic turmoil, they never lost sight of their client demands. A “new normal” business environment has been established in the industry, where companies with customer focus, innovative offerings and with a competitive cost base will only survive. Manufacturing companies are looking at IT to bring in flexible and cost effective manufacturing and thus increase the value for its customers. There is a demand growth for more customer facing applications like SCM, CRM and BI applications. Cloud computing is another area which may drive the IT need of manufacturing industry during the year mainly due to its manageable IT infrastructure and cost effectiveness. The mid-market segment remains a major growth avenue for enterprise application software. Green IT is the new development in this industry with corporations focusing on saving power and energy and working on sustainable models which are environment friendly.
