Market share analysis india-based providers' performance show mixed results ...Semalytix
Summary:
Collectively and individually, the impact of the six leading India-based IT services providers continued in 2009, with HCL, Cognizant, Wipro, TCS, and Infosys (in order of growth rates) all achieving growth that outpaced the rest of the market,
Key Findings
• In 2009, the top six India-based providers' collective share of the global IT services market was 2.7%, up slightly from their 2.5% share in 2008.
• The largest of the India-based providers, TCS, with $5.7 billion in worldwide revenue in 2009, is ranked No. 25 in overall IT services market share
• The top India-based performers in total IT services revenue growth were HCL (27.6% annual growth on $2.2 billion in revenue) and Cognizant (16.4% growth on $3.1 billion in revenue). In rank order, HCL moved up from 75th position in 2008 to 60th in 2009 and Cognizant moved up from 48th to 42nd in the same time period.
• The top six India-based providers are also clearly diversifying their geographic presence, as well as expanding their service lines
HCL:
HCL recorded the highest growth in 2009, benefiting from the acquisition of SAP consultancy Axon, as well as winning some large total outsourcing deals signed in 2008, revenue of which flowed into the subsequent quarters of 2009. These total outsourcing deals also included rebadging of client employees quite unlike other Indian providers. High growth was also the result of aggressive and focused sales efforts to retain clients. Moreover, HCL experienced relatively little impact in the vendor consolidation activity during the downturn, which signifies high customer satisfaction among HCL's clients; contributing factors of quality process focus, as well as the company's "employee first, customer second" principle. HCL's acquisition of Axon also yielded business growth, as it continued to upsell/cross-sell services to this newly acquired client base.

3. Reporting Guidelines:
To facilitate an analytical perspective, the results have been formatted and grouped as under:
a) Standalone – Idea, and its 100% subsidiaries, grouped together on a standalone basis. Effectively, this encompasses
all mobile operations in India, excluding Spice and Indus.
b) Consolidated – Idea and its 100% subsidiaries, and JVs, grouped together. This covers Idea operating service areas
and the ABTL operating service area of Bihar, the proportionate consolidation of Indus (16%), and the proportionate
consolidation of Spice (41.09% w.e.f. October 16, 2008).
JV financials have been consolidated as jointly controlled entities as per “AS 27 - Financial reporting of Interests in
Joint Ventures”. It may be noted that the consolidation of financials of two or more entities requires elimination of inter
entity transactions. Illustratively, rentals paid by Idea to Indus, become expenses for Idea and revenues for Indus, on a
standalone basis. However, upon consolidation, the proportionate revenue of Indus gets reduced to the extent contributed
by Idea. The rental expenses of Idea also stand correspondingly reduced in the consolidated financials.
Brand “!dea” covers 16 telecom service areas, viz, Maharashtra & Goa, Gujarat,
Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala, Haryana, Uttar
Pradesh West & Uttaranchal, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh East, Himachal Pradesh,
Mumbai, Bihar & Jharkhand, Orissa, Punjab and Karnataka, covering ~ 80% of
the all India subscriber base. Of these, the 3 service areas of Rajasthan, UP East
and Himachal Pradesh, were rolled out during Sep-Nov’06, while the 2 service
areas of Mumbai and Bihar became operational during Aug-Oct‘08. The service
areas of Punjab and Karnataka were added through Spice w.e.f October 16,
2008.
Brand Idea has only recently extended to the Orissa service area with the launch
of commercial operations in April 2009.

6. Management Discussion & Analysis
Fastest Growing Major Telco – Back to Back Years of Strong Market Gains
Standalone revenues for the quarter at Rs. 28,626 mn, grew 9.2% on a QoQ basis. In a period marked by economic
downturn and increased competitive and price pressure, Idea was able to maintain its strong growth momentum. Annual
revenues of 99,622 mn show a growth of 47.9% compared to the last year. This revenue growth of 47.9%, on the back of
the FY08 revenue growth of 53.6%, places Idea as the fastest growing major operator in one of the largest, fastest growing,
and most competitive telecom markets in the world.
*due to change in subscribers recognition criteria
In the newly launched service areas of Mumbai and Bihar, Idea has acquired a 4.0 % share of the combined market, with a
net adds market share of 16.6%, during last 6 months.
Total Minutes on the Network at 44,224 mn grew by 9.9% on a QoQ basis. The Average Realised Rate per Minute, which
had moved up from 62p to 64p in the previous quarter, settled at 63p.
Indus IRU Impact
Idea (standalone) rent-paying cell sites jumped from 21,459 at Dec’08 quarter end to 36,573 at Mar’09 quarter end. This
increase of 15,294 cell sites includes 11,094 cell sites on Idea towers, transferred to Indus, through the IRU effective
January 1, 2009. As of March’09, out of the 36,573 rent paying cell sites, 25,150 cell sites are on Indus Towers. The
accounting treatment of the IRU arrangement increased the network operating cost for the March’09 quarter. Rental income
that Idea was deriving from guest sites also ceased w.e.f. January 1, 2009, as these would accrue to Indus. The combined
impact of these 2 factors was the equivalent of ~ 3.4 % EBITDA contraction for the quarter ended March’09. Until the
merger into Indus is consummated, Idea will account for depreciation for the IRU towers. However, Idea will receive an IRU
income for the transferred towers until the merger, which for the quarter ended March’09 was the equivalent of ~1.2% of
the EBITDA. Therefore, the net negative EBITDA impact for the quarter was ~2.2 %. The above treatment does not include
Idea’s pro-rata share of Indus’ profit/loss. The financials do not also capture the notional capex cost saving derived because
of Indus, and the speed to market benefit.
Upon consolidation, Idea’s share of 16% of Indus revenues is Rs. 1,870 mn. However, with consolidation eliminations, no
revenue has been consolidated. An equal amount has been eliminated from the Indus rentals accounted by Idea. Further
Idea has consolidated Rs. 1,196 mn as 16% share of Indus operating expenses, after elimination of IRU income received
from Indus.
Idea on a standalone basis, added 4.7 mn subscribers in the
quarter, its highest ever. For the entire year FY09,
subscriber base has grown by 79.2 %. In its 8 established
service areas, Idea strengthened its market position by
gaining 1% market share, and consolidating its position
close to the market leader. In the 3 gestating service areas,
Idea also increased its market share to 6.3%, from 5.8% a
year ago.
11. !dea Quarterly Report Mar‘09 Page 11 of 15
Network Capacity
Idea rolled out 4,941 cell sites during the March’09 quarter, taking the FY09
tally to 19,437, and the EoP cell sites to 44,230. In the preceding year FY08,
Idea had added 14,679 cell sites. Thus, in the last 2 fiscal years, Idea has
enhanced its cell site capacity 4.4 times, representing a massive
enhancement of capacity to build competitive strength.
The capacity already built, together with improved spectrum availability and
enhanced technology features will result in greater capex efficiency in FY10,
and reduced capex intensity.
Total capex for FY09 was Rs. 54.5 bn. For FY10, including for new service area launches, the capex will indicatively be in the
region of Rs. 60.0 bn. This estimate does not factor the unknown impact of a possible 3G auction.
Financial Performance
At the EBITDA level the net negative impact of Indus IRU is 2.2% for the quarter. However, EBITDA margin for Q4 at 25.9%
is almost similar to the Q3 margin, indicative of other operational efficiencies which have absorbed the negative Indus IRU
impact.
Depreciation & Amortization for FY09 at Rs.13,212 mn increased by 50.7% on a YoY basis. Net interest and finance cost for
FY09 at Rs.4,070 mn increased by 46.6% on a YoY basis.
PAT for the quarter at Rs.3,032 mn was higher by 18.3% on a QoQ basis. After absorbing the losses of the new launches of
Mumbai and Bihar, Profit after Tax for FY09 was Rs.9,754 mn.
New Launches
Brand Idea has expanded its wings to its 16th
service area, with the commercial launch of Orissa in April 2009. With this,
Idea now covers ~ 80% of the national subscriber base. Preparatory work for other roll outs is on track, with Tamil Nadu
planned for the Jun’09 quarter. Within the calendar year 2009, Idea plans to have pan India operations.
Tailored Approach for Different Service Areas
Idea holds 900 MHz GSM spectrum in 9 service areas, which make up ~50% of
the national market. This frequency band confers capex and opex benefits. It is
also accompanied by early mover advantage. Idea is the mobility revenue market
leader in 3 of these service areas, and is overall in the second spot. The twin
advantages of spectrum and scale underpin Idea’s enduring competitive edge.
In some of the remaining service areas, Idea pursues a strategy of optimisation
as opposed to maximisation. It plans to achieve a pan India footprint and
leverage synergies of scale and wider presence, and calibrated capex spend
through infrastructure sharing. The focus is on operational and financial goals,
and not on league tables.
The service area tailored strategy is designed to enhance Idea’s long term
competitiveness.
