Cyient: In-line services growth, but softening organically

(cyl IN, Mkt Cap USD1.0b, CMP INR676, TP INR750, 12% Upside, Neutral)

 

  • In-line growth in Services: Revenue growth of 5.1% QoQ was better than our estimate, primarily due to the beat in the Design-Led Manufacturing (DLM) business. In Services, revenue growth of 3.5% QoQ CC was in line with our estimate of 3.8%. EBITDA margin expanded 150bp QoQ to 13.7% (50bp beat), as the impact of wage hike was more than offset by currency tailwinds and efficiencies. PAT grew 54% QoQ to INR1.27b (largely in-line).
  • Organic Services growth coming off: In Services, CYL clocked 10.2% YoY CC growth in 2Q. However, this included revenue from AnSem, excluding which, growth would have been lower by 2pp, marking deceleration from 11.7% YoY CC growth in FY18. Achievement of double-digit growth in FY19 is contingent on continued momentum in 2H, but would still reflect a slowdown on an organic basis.
  • Focus on the long term continues: Earlier in the year, CYL alluded to 100bp investments in the New Business Accelerator (NBA) program, which would keep margins flat in FY19. It added seven projects to the program, taking the total to 19, and expects accelerated EPS growth (incremental growth of 5-10pp) from FY21 (year three onward).
