  Outlook and Valuation: We expect the company to mark a top-line CAGR of

                                     Strong growth momentum sustained

                                     During 3QFY2010, HCL Tech recorded a Top-line growth of 1.4% qoq (7.5% yoy),
                                     backed by a strong 8.2% qoq growth in volumes. However, the positive impact on
                                     the volume growth was largely curtailed by a pricing decline of 1.1% qoq and a
                                     5.5% qoq impact of cross-currencies, resulting in lower realisations. The average
                                     Rupee realisation rate went down to 44.9 per USD for 3QFY2010. IT services
                                     revenue (USD revenue) continued its steady growth rate, clocking a rise of 6.6%
                                     qoq, supported by strong revenue traction in the infrastructure services segment (up
                                     15% qoq). Revenues in Engineering and R&D services grew by 10.8%; however, BPO
                                     disappointed, with revenue de-growth of 9.8% qoq. The company has been de-
                                     emphasising its focus in the specific service sections in the BPO segment; thus, it has
                                     been seeing a systemic decline quarter after quarter, with the contribution of BPO
                                     going down to 7.6% in 3QFY2010 (as against 10% in 3QFY2009).

                                     Among the various verticals that grew, HCL Tech recorded a strong sequential
                                     growth of 15%, 9.8% and 8.9%, respectively, in Media Publishing, Manufacturing
                                     and the Life Sciences industry. The company is reaping the benefits of its key large
                                     deal wins (specifically its 7-year US $350mn IT infra services deal from Readers
                                     Digest), which have been supporting its revenue growth momentum and
                                     outperformance.

                 In terms of geographies, the growth was led through a continued strong recovery in
                 the US market, which was up by 9.6% qoq, whereas Asia Pacific revenues expanded
                 by 7.7% sequentially. The company closed 13 large deals across services and
                 verticals, and added 39 new clients during the quarter. This comprises of deals
                 signed with a few marquee clients such as Vodafone, Advanstar, Saint Gobain,
                 Malaysian Airlines and Sky Italia, among others. The client contribution has been
                 strengthening, with the average revenue per client growing by 6% yoy to US
                 $1.69mn as on 3QFY2010 (as against US $1.59mn in 3QFY2009).

                 Manpower Addition, Re Appreciation and BPO ramp-down hurts margins
                 The sharp Rupee appreciation and net addition of 2,441 employees (highest over
                 the last several quarters) resulted in a decline in the gross margins in the current
                 quarter. Also, a 13% qoq decline in the BPO revenue resulted in losses at the
                 operational levels in the segmental profitability, resulting in decline in EBIDTA
                 margins by 140bp sequentially to 19.7%. The EBIDTA margins in the Combined IT
                 Services segment (Software + Infra Services) were also lower by 60bp at 22.8% in
                 3QFY2010, on account of lower realisations in software services.

                 Lower Amortisation and Declining Fx Losses boost the bottom-line
                 Despite the fall in operating profits, the company reported a 15.9% qoq growth in
                 the PAT, supported by a decline in the amortisation charge (Rs17cr in 3QFY2010, as
                 against Rs 38cr in 2QFY2010) and lower Fx losses (Rs62cr as against Rs125cr in the
                 same period). The fall in the amortisation costs and improvement in the other
                 income resulted in an expansion in the PAT margin by 142bp qoq and 358bp yoy.

                 In the past, HCL Tech has incurred large Fx losses on account of its high hedge
                 cover ratio, and has been consciously reducing its Fx exposure so as to realign its
                 hedging strategy in sync with the peers. The company has total outstanding hedge
                 positions to the tune of ~US $458mn as on 3QFY2010, and is now focusing on
                 covering exposures of smaller tenure, in view of the volatile movement in currency.
                 The booked rate on the portfolio is INR 40.5 per USD; thus, the losses on Fx have
                 been lower on account of the recent INR appreciation. We believe that the no
                 participation in hedging receivables at high INR/USD levels in LTM would result in
                 lower realisations vis-à-vis its peers for HCL in the coming period.

                 Going forward, we expect the current level of profitability to sustain, as the pressure
                 of wage inflation and currency appreciation would be mitigated by lower Fx losses.
                 However, the effective tax rate may go up significantly after FY2011E from the
                 current level of 18% (end of the STPI benefit), and may impact margins.
                 Strong Lateral Hiring




April 22, 2010                                                                                                                    3

                 Strong Lateral hiring exhibiting incremental focus on high value-addition

                 During the quarter, HCL added a net of 2,441 employees (historically high), taking
                 the total headcount to 58,129 employees. The company added 3,152 employees in
                 the IT Services segment, whereas the employee count was taken down in the BPO
                 segment by 711, in view of the segmental ramp-down. Of the total gross addition of
                 7,136 employees during the quarter, 6,379 offers were in lateral hiring. Such strong
                 lateral hiring highlights the company’s incremental focus in high value-add
                 segments, which would result in high revenue per employee. However, the higher
                 proportion of lateral hiring would impact the salary costs, both in terms of wage
                 inflation and per employee costs.

HCL Technologies I 3QFY2010 Result Update


                 Outlook and Valuation

                 HCL Tech clocked a strong business growth of 6.9% (constant currency) in the
                 quarter; however, the growth in reported currency was just 1.4%, on account of the
                 low hedge cover and the sharp rupee appreciation against major currencies. We
                 believe that this trend will continue, as the company has not participated in booking
                 hedges at high levels of 46-52 INR/USD and would thus witness a wider gap
                 between USD revenues and reported revenues vis-à-vis its peers. Operating
                 profitability is likely to take a hit by 110bp, as the company would face pressures in
                 terms of higher wage costs (lateral hiring and wage inflation) and currency
                 headwinds. However, the PAT margin would remain stable at the current levels, on
                 account of savings on lower interest costs and Fx losses, as the low-cost hedged
                 positions would end in 1HFY2011E.

                 We expect the company to mark a top-line CAGR of 14.7% during FY2009-12E,
                 assuming a 20% growth in USD revenues and a realisation de-growth of 530bp
                 over the next two years (assuming INR/USD rate of 44.5). HCL has been operating
                 at an 80%+ utilisation level (overall); thus, it does not have much room in terms of
                 productivity gains. Hence, the EPS is likely to grow at a slower CAGR of 12.8% over
                 FY2009-12E. The stock is currently trading at 17x on its FY2011E EPS of Rs22.5 and
                 14.2x on its FY2012E EPS of Rs27.2. We have valued the stock at 15.5x of its
                 FY2012E earnings, in line with its historical average of 15x during FY2006-2010,
                 and at a 30% discount to our Infosys target P/E multiple of 22x (historical discount of
                 32%). We maintain our Accumulate rating on the stock, with a Target price of
                 Rs420.

    3QFY2010 Result UpdateI IT April 22, 2010 HCL Technologies ACCUMULATE CMP Rs381 Performance Highlights Target Price Rs420 HCL Tech (HCL) delivered better-than-expected results by reporting a strong Investment Period 15 Months 6.9% qoq growth in the constant currency. The growth was supported by an 8.2% jump in the billed efforts, compensating the pricing decline of 1.2%, Stock Info sequentially. However, the growth in the reported currency was low at 1.4% Sector IT qoq, on account of the significant appreciation of the Rupee over the USD (1.6%), Euro (6%) and the GBP (7%). The cross-currency impact was higher Market Cap (Rs cr) 25,776 vis-à-vis the peers, as HCL derives a higher share of Revenue from the Euro Beta 1.0 zone (28% on LTM basis) and has a lower Fx cover. The EBIT grew by just 1% qoq on account of a ramp-down in the BPO segment. The Net profit grew by 52 WK High / Low 388/118 15.9% at Rs344cr, sequentially, helped by lower Fx losses (down to Rs62cr Avg. Daily Volume 212487 from Rs125cr in 3QFY2010). At the current levels, we maintain an Accumulate on the stock. Face Value (Rs) 2 Reaping the benefits of key, large deal wins: HCL Tech has been clocking a BSE Sensex 17,574 higher revenue growth than its peers in the last few quarters, backed by large multi-million-dollar deal wins in the recent past. The company has recorded Nifty 5,269 strong revenue growth, backed by a 15% qoq growth in the Media vertical Reuters Code HCLT.BO and a 9.8% qoq growth in the Manufacturing segment. Infrastructure Services revenue grew by a strong 15% qoq; however, the BPO vertical was subdued, Bloomberg Code HCLT@IN with a 13% qoq fall in revenue, as the company has been witnessing a ramp- Shareholding Pattern (%) down in one major account. The company bagged 13 new deals across verticals (offshoring and transformational in nature), and added 39 new Promoters 68.1 clients during the quarter. MF/Banks/Indian FIs 6.8 Outlook and Valuation: We expect the company to mark a top-line CAGR of 14.7% during FY2009-12E, assuming a 20% CAGR in USD revenues and a FII/NRIs/OCBs 21.6 realisation de-growth of 530bp over the next two years (assuming INR/USD Indian Public 3.5 rate of 44.5). HCL has been operating at an 80%+ utilisation level (overall); thus, it does not have much room in terms of productivity gains. Hence, the Abs. (%) 3m 1yr 3yr EPS is likely to grow at a slower CAGR of 12.8% over FY2009-12E. The stock Sensex 4.2 62.5 26.5 is currently trading at 17x on its FY2011E EPS of Rs22.5 and 14.2x on its FY2012E EPS of Rs27.2.

However, the positive impact on the volume growth was largely curtailed by a pricing decline of 1.1% qoq and a 5.5% qoq impact of cross-currencies, resulting in lower realisations. The average Rupee realisation rate went down to 44.9 per USD for 3QFY2010. IT services revenue (USD revenue) continued its steady growth rate, clocking a rise of 6.6% qoq, supported by strong revenue traction in the infrastructure services segment (up 15% qoq). Revenues in Engineering and R&D services grew by 10.8%; however, BPO disappointed, with revenue de-growth of 9.8% qoq. The company has been de- emphasising its focus in the specific service sections in the BPO segment; thus, it has been seeing a systemic decline quarter after quarter, with the contribution of BPO going down to 7.6% in 3QFY2010 (as against 10% in 3QFY2009). Among the various verticals that grew, HCL Tech recorded a strong sequential growth of 15%, 9.8% and 8.9%, respectively, in Media Publishing, Manufacturing and the Life Sciences industry. The company is reaping the benefits of its key large deal wins (specifically its 7-year US $350mn IT infra services deal from Readers Digest), which have been supporting its revenue growth momentum and outperformance.

    HCL Technologies I3QFY2010 Result Update In terms of geographies, the growth was led through a continued strong recovery in the US market, which was up by 9.6% qoq, whereas Asia Pacific revenues expanded by 7.7% sequentially. The company closed 13 large deals across services and verticals, and added 39 new clients during the quarter. This comprises of deals signed with a few marquee clients such as Vodafone, Advanstar, Saint Gobain, Malaysian Airlines and Sky Italia, among others. The client contribution has been strengthening, with the average revenue per client growing by 6% yoy to US $1.69mn as on 3QFY2010 (as against US $1.59mn in 3QFY2009). Manpower Addition, Re Appreciation and BPO ramp-down hurts margins The sharp Rupee appreciation and net addition of 2,441 employees (highest over the last several quarters) resulted in a decline in the gross margins in the current quarter. Also, a 13% qoq decline in the BPO revenue resulted in losses at the operational levels in the segmental profitability, resulting in decline in EBIDTA margins by 140bp sequentially to 19.7%. The EBIDTA margins in the Combined IT Services segment (Software + Infra Services) were also lower by 60bp at 22.8% in 3QFY2010, on account of lower realisations in software services.

The fall in the amortisation costs and improvement in the other income resulted in an expansion in the PAT margin by 142bp qoq and 358bp yoy. In the past, HCL Tech has incurred large Fx losses on account of its high hedge cover ratio, and has been consciously reducing its Fx exposure so as to realign its hedging strategy in sync with the peers. The company has total outstanding hedge positions to the tune of ~US $458mn as on 3QFY2010, and is now focusing on covering exposures of smaller tenure, in view of the volatile movement in currency. The booked rate on the portfolio is INR 40.5 per USD; thus, the losses on Fx have been lower on account of the recent INR appreciation. We believe that the no participation in hedging receivables at high INR/USD levels in LTM would result in lower realisations vis-à-vis its peers for HCL in the coming period. Going forward, we expect the current level of profitability to sustain, as the pressure of wage inflation and currency appreciation would be mitigated by lower Fx losses. However, the effective tax rate may go up significantly after FY2011E from the current level of 18% (end of the STPI benefit), and may impact margins. Strong Lateral Hiring April 22, 2010 3
  • 4.
    HCL Technologies I3QFY2010 Result Update Strong Lateral hiring exhibiting incremental focus on high value-addition During the quarter, HCL added a net of 2,441 employees (historically high), taking the total headcount to 58,129 employees. The company added 3,152 employees in the IT Services segment, whereas the employee count was taken down in the BPO segment by 711, in view of the segmental ramp-down. Of the total gross addition of 7,136 employees during the quarter, 6,379 offers were in lateral hiring. Such strong lateral hiring highlights the company’s incremental focus in high value-add segments, which would result in high revenue per employee. However, the higher proportion of lateral hiring would impact the salary costs, both in terms of wage inflation and per employee costs.

    HCL Technologies I3QFY2010 Result Update Outlook and Valuation HCL Tech clocked a strong business growth of 6.9% (constant currency) in the quarter; however, the growth in reported currency was just 1.4%, on account of the low hedge cover and the sharp rupee appreciation against major currencies. We believe that this trend will continue, as the company has not participated in booking hedges at high levels of 46-52 INR/USD and would thus witness a wider gap between USD revenues and reported revenues vis-à-vis its peers. Operating profitability is likely to take a hit by 110bp, as the company would face pressures in terms of higher wage costs (lateral hiring and wage inflation) and currency headwinds. However, the PAT margin would remain stable at the current levels, on account of savings on lower interest costs and Fx losses, as the low-cost hedged positions would end in 1HFY2011E. We expect the company to mark a top-line CAGR of 14.7% during FY2009-12E, assuming a 20% growth in USD revenues and a realisation de-growth of 530bp over the next two years (assuming INR/USD rate of 44.5). HCL has been operating at an 80%+ utilisation level (overall); thus, it does not have much room in terms of productivity gains. Hence, the EPS is likely to grow at a slower CAGR of 12.8% over FY2009-12E. The stock is currently trading at 17x on its FY2011E EPS of Rs22.5 and 14.2x on its FY2012E EPS of Rs27.2. We have valued the stock at 15.5x of its FY2012E earnings, in line with its historical average of 15x during FY2006-2010, and at a 30% discount to our Infosys target P/E multiple of 22x (historical discount of 32%). We maintain our Accumulate rating on the stock, with a Target price of Rs420.
