Infosys: Thesis of gestation for revenue-margin duality at play

  • In our recent on INFO, we had cited the gestation that one should expect for the company’s revenue-margin duality, given the ongoing investments and the high attrition rate. 2QFY19 performance was a case in point, with CC revenue growth of 4.2% QoQ (8.1% YoY) exceeding our estimate of 3.5% and EBIT margin of 23.7% (flat QoQ despite currency tailwinds) missing our estimate by 40bp.
  • The highlight for the quarter (apart from strong CC sequential revenue growth) was deal wins with total contract value (TCV) of more than USD2b – this was on the back of USD1.1b in the previous quarter, which itself was a multi-quarter high.
  • Management also cited that some of the deals have a shorter tenure, implying a quick conversion to revenues, boosting near-term visibility (notwithstanding the 2H seasonality).
