The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

In the financial year 2012-13, the Global Economy faced fresh downside risks that continue in light of renewed setbacks in the Euro area and continued risks of excessive fiscal consolidation in the United States.

 

Current state of Indian economy makes it necessary for the government to put in place a robust and implementable plan of action for its revival. The economy has experienced a consistent fall in GDP growth, alarmingly high levels of twin deficits i.e. Current Account Deficit (CAD) and Fiscal Deficit as well as worrying volatility in the inflow of foreign investments. Though inflationary pressure has receded in the last quarter of 2012, it still remains above the target level. This along with other worrying economic indicators has put the Indian economy in a challenging pathway in the short term.

 

The Individual Learning Solutions offerings included training and career building services in IT, BFSI, Management, BPO and English and Professional life skills. For this, the Company leverages its global presence across India, China and other developing countries for reaching out to the students as well its alliances with large technology companies in USA and Europe to provide the requisite solutions. During the year , the deceleration in growth of the IT Industry impacted the enrollment in IT courses, whereas non-IT training showed encouraging growth. Though the hiring in IT Industry dropped by 20% over the previous year, the Company’s placement of students was lower than the previous year by only 4%.

 

In the School Learning Solutions business, the Company provided solutions and services for IT training and technology enabled learning and teaching for schools, teachers’ training and learning for underserved children. The Company offered NIIT nGuru solution comprising of ‘Interactive Classrooms’, ‘Math lab’ and ‘IT Wizard’ for students and ‘Quick School’ an Education Resource Planning solution for school management. During the year, 817 schools signed up with the Company for its various offerings.

 

In the Corporate Learning Solutions business, the Company focused on the Managed Training Services business and achieved traction with acquisition of five new customers providing a total revenue visibility of USD 143 million. This growth was backed by aggressive sales and engagement management teams with robust delivery performance. Corporate Learning Solutions continued to register a healthy growth of 19% year over year and achieved a profitability level of 11%, up from 6% in the previous year.

 

In Skill Building Solutions, the Company has an objective of enhancing skills and employability of youth across India, with emphasis to offer job oriented training to applicants mainly from low and middle income households in semi-urban and rural areas. The Company has developed skills development curriculum for new sectors like Retail, Hospitality, Auto Retail, Showroom Retail, BPO and other informal sectors. The Company has 34 centers operational across six states viz. Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh. The Company has also entered into industry tie-ups in aforesaid sectors enabling placement of its trained students.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

NIIT started the year with moderate expectations of growth. However, the business environment, especially in IT training market turned weak in India and other emerging countries. Student sentiment towards IT training was affected by the temporary squeeze in hiring and continuing delays in joining dates of fresh graduates with job offers. Despite robust performance by Corporate Learning Solutions (CLS) and School Learning Solutions (SLS), NIIT’s financials were affected by the weak performance of Individual Learning Solutions (ILS), due to decline in revenue from IT training. The decline in revenues in ILS impacted margins due to high operating leverage in the business.

 

The Company responded to the adverse environment by accelerating efforts of business restructuring and cost rationalization, which helped the Company to moderate the overall impact.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

In FY'13, NIIT continued its focus on strengthening the four identified platforms of growth, which were launched last year, and on improving capital efficiency of the business through reallocation of capital, and increasing balance sheet strength. While parts of the business were impacted by the environment, each of the identified platforms continues to show strength and is poised for continuing growth.

 

The management believes that these four platforms would help the Company to return to the path of growth. The company also exited capital intensive business models across businesses that had dragged company’s cash flows over the last few years. The company has reduced its debt levels substantially in the last two years, through business restructuring. As these capital-intensive projects get over, the working capital tied up in these projects would get released and would help the company return to being cash-positive. This would also help the Company to improve the ROCE profile of the business.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Company remains focused on its four platforms of growth

  • Individual: Cloud Campus
  • Corporate: Managed Training Services
  • Schools: nGuru
  • Skills: Yuva Jyoti

 

Individual: During FY’13, the business has been impacted by a temporary squeeze in hiring by IT sector. The company is focusing on its Non-IT portfolio and New Age IT programs with higher realization, to help recover growth. The Cloud Campus platform will help the company to expand reach and drive efficiency in the business.

 

Corporate: Growth is expected to continue on strength of significant order book and strong growth in Managed Training Services business. Volume growth and leverage of enabling expenses would drive margin improvement.

 

Schools: Continued selectivity on Government BOOT contracts and focus on nGuru solutions for private schools will result in significant improvement in business mix in favor of NGSA. In addition, the Company expects improved liquidity due to release of working capital tied up in receivables in government contracts.

 

Skills: Focus on capacity utilization and on introduction of new products.
