TCS – In-line quarter; Green shoots in North America BFS; Margin execution is imperative for an upside

  • TCS’ 4Q revenue of USD4,972m grew 12% YoY (est. of 11%) and 7.2% CC (in-line). EBITDA of INR86.5b grew 6% YoY (in-line), while PAT of INR69b rose 6% YoY (est. of +5%). USD revenue growth of 3.9% QoQ was ahead of our estimate due to better cross-currency tailwind (190bp).
  • While CC revenue was in line, BFSI (0.4% QoQ CC) and Retail (0.8% QoQ CC) were tepid; we expected deals to drive momentum here. However, TCS cited that, despite the blip in Retail, it should grow in double-digits in FY19.
  • More importantly, it expects the business from large banks in North America to have bottomed out and spending to pick up, going forward. That said, it would wait for another quarter before committing to its outlook of a turnaround.
