INFOSYS
Good all-round show; bonus a pleasant surprise
India Equity Research| IT
Infosys’ Q2FY15 revenue of USD2.2bn (up 3.2% QoQ) and EBITDA margin
of 28.3% (up 140bps QoQ) came in line with our expectations. The
company has maintained its FY15 revenue guidance of 7-9%. It has also
announced bonus issue in 1:1 ratio. Dr. Vishal Sikka, CEO, stressed the
importance of automation and innovation (using technologies like
artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning data science, etc.) and the
need for acquisitions to augment organic growth. We cut our FY15E USD
revenue growth to 9% from 10% earlier (cross currency impact), but
maintain FY16E of 12.5%. Revision of USD/INR assumption from
INR58/56 to INR60/59 for FY15/16 leads to 2.7% /9.3% upward revision
in our FY15/16E EPS, respectively. Maintain ‘BUY’ with a TP of INR4,569.

Dr. Sikka articulated his strategy in brief, wherein he mentioned automation,
innovation and training as key focus areas. He stressed that new technologies like AI,
machine learning, data science, etc., need to be incorporated in existing services to
make them relevant to clients. He mentioned ‘do more-with less-for more’ will be
Infosys’ new mantra. The use of these technologies, particularly AI, will significantly
reduce dependence on manpower (thereby improving efficiencies) and at the same
time will be relevant for clients in gaining insights based on certain automated
triggers. Hence, clients across verticals are increasingly using these technologies to
renew and reshape their existing businesses as well as to enter new ones, build new
models and systems.

maintain ‘BUY/SO’ with target price of INR4,569 (18x FY16E EPS, INR4,180 earlier).

Company Description
Infosys is the second-largest IT services company in India providing consulting and IT
services to clients globally. 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.
