Status quo; on track for revenue acceleration
Margins receding to the targeted band on headwinds
TCS retained its outlook for FY15 – of a healthy demand environment,
accelerating organic revenue growth in FY15 and with normal seasonality of a
stronger 1H v/s 2H. We estimate 5.5% QoQ growth USD3.7b in 1QFY15E. (50bp
impact from cross currency)
1Q traction will be driven by larger verticals which will grow close to company
average while verticals like media and healthcare & life sciences should grow
faster on a small base. India revenues should be flattish, US continues to see
discretionary spend and traditional outsourcing drives Europe.
Margins will see headwinds of over 300bp QoQ, from wage hikes (over 200bp and
appreciation of INR (~100bp). We expect offset from growth and productivity
gains, and model 160bp QoQ decline to 27.6%.
1QFY15 Expectations: Momentum intact, on track for a better FY15
TCS’ commentary on the outlook is unchanged – with expectation of better
organic growth in FY15 v/s FY14, and growth in 1H being stronger than that
in 2H
We expect USD revenue growth to come in at 5.5% for the quarter with cross
currency impact of +50bps. This implies YoY growth of 16.8%, compared to
16% in 1QFY14
Due to appreciation in INR during the quarter Rupee revenues will have a
negative 300bp impact. This drives our Rupee revenue estimate of
INR220.7b, +2.4% QoQ.
We estimate 1QFY15 USD revenue growth at 5.5%

Margin faces headwinds from wage hike and currency
TCS announced higher wage hikes for FY15, and that is likely to have an
impact of over 200bp QoQ. Currency appreciation introduces additional
100bp headwind for the margins during the quarter.

Impact from a high growth rate and contribution from productivity
improvement should help partially offset the impact from headwinds, and we
expect the decline to be limited to 160bp, implying EBIT margin of 27.6% in
1QFY15.
We estimate margins to decline by 160bps to 27.6%
Source: Company, MOSL
TCS continues to maintain its target band for margins as 26-28% going forward
and may tweak the rate of investments going forward in the event of additional
headwinds like appreciation of INR.
Our PAT estimate for the quarter stands at INR49.5b, down 6.6%, on account of
appreciation in INR, lower operating margin, and little impact from forex hedges
compared to gains worth INR2b in 4QFY14.
Segmental traction
Growth will be broad based across verticals with large verticals growing close to
company average and smaller verticals like healthcare & life sciences and media
are expected to grow above company average.

In terms of geography, revenue momentum in US continues – with greater
project based or discretionary demand. Europe is seeing sustained momentum
of traditional outsourcing spend picking up. Growth will be driven by developed
geographies while India revenues are expected to be flattish during the quarter.

In terms of services, growth continues to be broad-based across the offerings.
TCS’ proprietary cloud offering iON remains work in progress, still small in terms
of revenue size to impact overall company performance,
Change in depreciation policy in line with the revised Companies Act
To be in accordance with the Companies Act 2013, TCS effected change in its
depreciation policy. The company has taken the opportunity to further
rationalize the policies for depreciation – bringing different policies across
subsidiary companies under one standard.
TCS will be following straight-line depreciation with lower asset life from the
previously followed WDV method. This will result in: [1] a one-time impact in
Indian GAAP of write back of 4-5% of net Fixed Assets as an exceptional item
and [2] one time impact in IFRS of additional charge of ~2% of Fixed Asset added
to normal depreciation. We will factor the same into our estimates as clarity on
the exact impact of the same emerges in 1QFY 15 financials.
Valuation and view
Our estimates remain largely unchanged after the management’s latest outlook.
Over the past four years, TCS has led the incremental revenues as well as operating
profits not just domestically, but also in the global arena (compared to peers
multiple times its size); and its market cap is second only to IBM. At 18.8% USD
revenue CAGR over FY14-16E, we expect TCS to continue leading the industry
growth with excellent execution. At 20.9x FY15E and 18.2x FY16E EPS, we remain
Neutral on valuations. We would treat any corrections as an entry opportunity.
