MOSL: CYIENT (Buy)-Margins weak, expect notable pick-up only beyond FY20

CYIENT: Margins weak, expect notable pick-up only beyond FY20

(CYL IN, Mkt Cap USD0.7b, CMP INR446, TP INR600, 34% Upside, Buy)

 

  • In-line Services revenue; beat in DLM: CYL's 2QFY20 revenue of USD164m was down 3% YoY (our estimate: -4.4%), EBIT of INR1.1b declined 17% YoY (our estimate: -8%) and PAT of INR0.97b came in lower by 22% YoY (our estimate: flat YoY). Services revenue increased 1.8% QoQ (in-line) to USD140.4m, while DLM revenue of USD23.8m was above our estimate of USD22m. Sequentially, revenue increased across verticals within Services, barring Aerospace (-1.7% QoQ) and Semiconductors (-9.6% QoQ).
  • Expect Services revenue to be flat at best, slower growth in DLM: Despite good Services revenue prospects, growth for full year appears a far cry given the underperformance in the first half. The outlook on DLM is also tepid as the company looks to restructure the business.
  • Meaningful margin benefit only beyond FY20: 2Q saw some uptick in the sequential margin. However, most of the benefit was offset by fixed and variable payment to the external consultant. Margin expansion hereon should be delta between the fees and the value created by optimization. Hence, the impact will be only gradual. Recovery is now expected to be in its full scale FY21 onward.
