Continued depreciation of global currencies v/s the USD, and to a lesser extent, 4Q
seasonality were the anticipated headwinds to performance. Revenue and profit
warnings from multiple companies ensued in due course. HCLT highlighted currency
and TCS seasonality, whereas others cited additional pressures:
n MTCL cited delay in commencement of projects at two clients in Retail and CPG
vertical. That is also likely to impact operating margins.
n KPIT cited hit over and above cross currencies to revenue, and more
significantly, to profitability, some of which could percolate into FY16 as well.
n PSYS cited muted growth in 4Q compared to earlier expectation of robust
performance, led by change in business priorities of one of its large customers in
the Product Engineering segment. Margins too, would see some pressure due to
ongoing investments in R&D and S&M.
n We expect TECHMs near term performance to remain soft, with Telecom taking
a breather from a number of high growth quarters. Margins are under pressure
from multiple headwinds wage hikes, integration of LCC acquisition and visa
costs in 1QFY16.
n TCS has refrained from sharing its outlook for FY16. By this time last year, we
already had a re-iteration of growth acceleration in FY15 over FY14 (which
eventually did not happen).
n Separately, NITEC ran into a conflict with one of its APAC clients, resulting in
provision of USD10m from unbilled revenues. We expect revenue growth to
remain marginal otherwise, with some uptick in profitability.

Motilal Oswal research is available on www.motilaloswal.com/Institutional-Equities, Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Factset and S&P Capital.
While the impact from cross currencies may be most pronounced for HCLT
(~280bp on QoQ USD revenue growth), we expect 3.8% QoQ CC growth, the
highest in tier-I IT, with TCS, INFO and WPRO expected to grow ~2.5% and
TECHM likely to remain flat in constant currency organic terms.
Across tier-II, we expect HEXW to continue with its momentum and estimate 5%
QoQ CC revenue growth. We expect growth to remain tepid across MTCL, KPIT,
MPHL and PSYS.
As far as margins are concerned, the worst hit would be TECHM, with
headwinds from wage hikes (effective January 1), cross currency and integration
with LCC amounting to 300bp+. We estimate 100bp margin decline at HCLT,
range-bound margins at TCS and WPRO and 60bp QoQ decline at INFO.
Across tier-II, PSYS and MTCL are expected to report flattish margins while KPIT,
HEXW and MPHL are expected to report margin contraction. On an aggregate
basis, tier-II is expected to report 30bp margin contraction.
April 2015
INFO will buck the trend of kicking off the earnings season by reporting only in
the fourth week. However, its guidance for CY16 and plan on sharing excess
cash with shareholders will be keenly anticipated.
1Q has traditionally been a seasonally weak quarter for WPRO, made up for by
progress through the remainder of the year, with 4Q being stronger. However,
Energy vertical softness has led to uninspiring 1-3% QoQ outlook for 4QFY15,
and if 1QFY16 outlook is not robust, WPRO may lag industry growth yet again.
TCS has given away little as far as its growth prospects for FY16 go, while
commentary on the overall environment has remained positive. Watch out for
its outlook on FY16 growth.
Prefer tier-I over tier-II; INFO, TECHM and HCLT are our top picks
We continue to prefer tier-I IT over tier-II, after convergence of valuation multiples
in recent quarters. Our preference in tier-I is for stocks with healthy prospects in
next-gen technologies and with differentiated growth drivers. INFO, TECHM and
HCLT are our preferred bets in the tier-I space. While we have no Buy ratings in tierII IT from a one-year return perspective, MTCL and PSYS are preferred business
models from a long term view.
