FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The year 2010 started off on the weaker side with a slow Q1. From Q2 onwards, the Company grew at an industry-leading growth rate of 13.2%, 11.2% and 9.0% sequentially in Dollar terms (13.2%, 12.2% and 6.3% sequentially in Rupee terms). With growth returning to the industry, direct costs were an issue throughout the year, which have impacted Operating Margins (EBIT), the year ended with Q4 EBIT at 9.3%.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

a) Global operations:

Income from operations increased to Rs. 10,545.640 million in 2010 from Rs. 10,385.620 million in 2009. The growth in Dollar terms was 7.7%, reaching $231.2 Million. Profit from operations (profit before Exceptional items, Exchange Rate Difference, Interest, Other Income and Provision for Taxation) was at Rs. 663.170 million in 2010 as against Rs. 1,705.100 million in 2009. This was due to a number of factors, e.g. lower technical utilization, exchange rate impact of Rupee appreciation and the transition costs of the large deal signed in Q2.

 

They were partly able to offset this impact by higher Other Income. Profit after Tax stood at Rs. 1075.890 million in 2010 as compared to a profit of Rs. 1,341.78 million in 2009, PAT margins at 10.2% in Rupee terms. Some of the major achievements of the Company in the year 2010 were:

  • During the year 2010, 45 new clients were added. This took the total number of active clients to 174.
  • At the end of 2010, the Company has 50 clients billed USD 1 million dollar or more during the year. Of these, 39 clients were in the range of $1-$5 million, 7 clients were in the range of $5-$10 million, 2 clients were in the range of $10-$20 million and 2 clients billed more than $20 million each on a trailing twelve month basis.

 

The year 2010 was marked with several firsts. Some of the key developments include:

 

In Q2 2010, the Company secured its single largest contract till date, worth in excess of $ 110 mn. As a part of the deal, the Company supports the IT systems of a Fortune 500 US corporation. The order extends over a 5 year period and the work encompasses 13 countries covering North America, South America, UK, Continental

Europe and certain countries in the Asia Pacific region. The scope of the work includes Application Development and Maintenance of IT Applications, Business Intelligence and Analytics, Quality Assurance and Testing Services, Remote Infrastructure Management Services (RIMS) and extending support and maintenance to several core applications, primarily different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modules, on a 24 X 7 basis.

 

During the year, the Company signed a contract extension worth $ 60 mn. with a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The extension was for a three year period. The company has been offering services cutting across the following horizontals – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Business Intelligence/Business Analytics (BI/BA), and Quality Assurance and Testing Services (QATS) to this existing strategic customer.

Market Developments

The growth returns

The year 2010 continued to improve through the year and the year-end seemed to confirm the widely held belief – the Growth is back. Looking at the bigger picture, the global economy began to grow out of trouble albeit gradually while some pockets exhibiting more resilience than others. While Americas as a region showed initial signs of a recovery, Europe was mired in difficulties for a longer period of time. Looking at the sector, while the demand side provided higher confidence, the pressures on the supply side became visible.

 

Through the year, the Company reported sequential revenue growth rates of 13% in Q2 2010, 11% in Q3 2010 and 9% in Q4 2010 in Dollar terms. The company also added 1,374 employees to the global headcount; thereby, strengthening the execution unit to cater to the increasing demands from its clients. The Company is committed to delivering to an increasing number of clients in its roster and is taking all steps to be able to deliver more. Most of the investments made by the Company in enhancing its field presence at overseas locations appear to have commenced delivering the desired outcomes when the demand scenario begins to pick up in the world.

 

Business Outlook

Qualitative

Looking back, the year 2010 saw the return of growth after troubled times. The Company was well positioned to make the most of the opportunities and perform well over the last 9-months of the year 2010. As the year 2011 begins, there is an increased amount of optimism on the sustenance of the revenue growth. The current visibility in the market place seems to signal stronger push towards offshoring due to extensive cost pressures on the Business As Usual (BAU) operations. Further, there are early indications that clients are focused on growth too – which would call for higher investments in systems, technologies and processes further enhancing the prospects of incremental business in the IT and BPO business streams.

 

From a strategy and approach stand point: the Company believes the Organization Structure is in place and the leadership team is in a strong position to deliver another year of healthy performance during 2011.The Company’s key revenue streams will originate from its existing clients, 174 active clients in all, and higher IT budgets will act as a good growth stimulus.

Further, the Company has re-iterated confidence in attaining double-digit Operating Margins (EBIT Margins) for the year 2011. This compares to Operating Margin of 6.6% in 2010.

 

With the current business demand visibility of a healthy order book and quantum of high quality deal pipeline, the

Company is confident of strengthening business metrics in terms of client base, geography mix, revenue shares of verticals and horizontals and several profitability related operational metrics.
