It is also among the fastest growing IT services organization in the world and a leader in the offshore services space with a pioneer in Global delivery model. Infosys provides business consulting, application development and maintenance and engineering services to 910 active clients spread across Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Retail, Manufacturing, and Utilities verticals and 50 countries. The company has also its own proprietary core banking software - Finacle used by some of the leading banks in India, Middle East, Africa and Europe. Infosys’ total employee force stands at 165,411 and the company’s TTM revenues stood at INR520.1bn (USD8.5bn). Investment Theme Infosys, in the recent past, lost market share to peers like TCS and HCL Technologies due to lack of strong presence in Infrastructure management services, lack of presence in emerging geographies and its aversion to provide flexibility in structuring contracts and offer discounted pricing to clients. The restructuring exercise also led to some distractions which led to slower growth compared to peers. We believe, on the back of the investments made it is likely to reduce the gap in revenue growth with peers and is best placed to expand its margins due to current low level of utilization and possibility of increase in offshore execution coupled with higher contribution from non-linear business. Key Risks Key risks to our investment theme include – slower pick up in IT spend particularly on the discretionary side, appreciation of INR against USD, Euro and GBP. 8 Edelweiss Securities Limited Infosys Financial Statements Key Assumptions Year to March Income statement FY13 FY14 FY15E FY16E Macro GDP(Y-o-Y %) Inflation (Avg) 5.0 7.4 4.7 6.2 5.4 5.5 6.3 6.0 Repo rate (exit rate) 7.5 8.0 8.0 7.3 54.5 60.5 60.0 59.0 Year to March (INR mn) FY13 FY14 FY15E FY16E Net revenue Cost of revenues 403,520 241,580 501,330 307,670 540,037 325,133 596,404 369,542 Gross profit 161,940 193,660 214,903 226,862 Total SG&A expenses 46,430 59,510 62,250 65,156 S&M expenses 20,340 26,250 29,550 32,354 Company G&A expenses 26,090 33,260 32,700 32,802 Employee Addition (nos) EBITDA 115,510 134,150 152,653 161,706 USD/INR (Avg) Gross additions Freshers Added (BPO -Trainees) 37,036 39,985 40,000 40,000 7,737 7,596 6,500 5,000 Employees Added (BPO -
