NIIT Technologies: Upbeat on broad-based traction

(NITEC IN, Mkt Cap USD1.0b, CMP INR1198, TP INR1350, 13% Upside, Neutral) 

  • All-round beat…: 2QFY19 CC revenue growth of 7.6% QoQ exceeded our estimate of +5%. Dollar revenue was up 14.1% YoY to USD131m. EBITDA margin expanded 220bp QoQ to 18% – 100bp beat led by better SGA productivity (17% v/s est. of 18.4%). PAT growth of 30% QoQ (to INR1.12b), too, exceeded our estimate of +12%, mainly led by operating beat.
  • …on broad-based traction: In USD terms, while BFS was flattish QoQ, other verticals grew in the range of 6-10% QoQ. Geographically, North America grew 3.7% QoQ, while EMEA did much better with 12.4% QoQ growth. Digital grew by 12% QoQ (+38% YoY), now forming 28% of overall revenue.
  • Deal wins, order book suggest continued traction: NITEC’s order intake grew for the fifth straight quarter to USD160m, with LTM book-to-bill at 1.19. This lends visibility for healthy growth. Also, its 12-month executable order book stands at USD363m. The ratio of next 12-month revenue to current quarter order book stands at ~1.55x for recent actuals, which, if extrapolated, implies 14% USD revenue growth in the next four quarters. Thus, revenue growth of mid-to-high teens appears doable, given the traction in deals. NITEC expects to continue signing at least two large deals every quarter.
