MOSL: TECH MAHINDRA (Buy)-Continues revise margin and drive growth via Enterprise

Tech Mahindra: Continues revise margin and drive growth via Enterprise

(TECHM IN, Mkt Cap USD10.1b, CMP INR702, TP INR810, 15% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Continued execution on margin revival: TECHM's 4QFY18 CC revenue growth of 1.7% QoQ was in line (est. of 1.5%). While Telecom was flat, and perhaps down in CC, growth was led by Enterprise (+4.9% QoQ). Growth also mirrored FY18 trends, where Telecom revenue was flattish, while Enterprise segment grew 19% YoY, driving overall USD revenue growth of 9.7%. The year, however, was all about execution of margin, which improved from lows of 12% in 4QFY17 to exit the year at 17.5% (est. of 17.3%). PAT of INR12.2b was up 30% QoQ (est. of INR9.6b, +2% QoQ); the beat was led by higher other income (sale of land) and a lower ETR.
  • Accelerating thrust on new technologies: TECHM has been investing significantly in building new solutions with an ecosystem partnership approach, and at the same time letting go some of the low-yield legacy businesses. Telecom was affected to the extent of USD100m as a result of the same. The endeavor has led to a change in RTB (run-the-business)-CTB (change-the-business) mix from 60-40 last year to 43-57 this year. Digital grew 35% YoY in FY18 and now contributes 27% of overall revenues.
