Tech Mahindra reported better-than-expected 4QFY2010 results, with revenue growth of -0.3% quarter-over-quarter. Revenue growth in constant currency was 4% supported by strong volume growth from their top account BT. EBITDA margins remained flat at 23.6% despite rupee appreciation and profit after tax grew 31.3% due to lower interest costs and foreign exchange gains. The analyst maintains a Buy recommendation based on expected revenue and profit growth over the next two years.

Performance Highlights Target Price Rs1,168
Tech Mahindra reported better-than-expected 4QFY2010 results, with revenue Investment Period 12 months
de-growth of 0.3% qoq at Rs1,183cr, as against our estimate of Rs1,164cr.
Revenue growth in constant currency was 4% at US $ 264mn; however, the Stock Info
sharp fall in the GBP (6%) resulted in revenue underperformance in the
Sector IT
reported currency. EBIDTA margins remained flat on a qoq basis at 23.6%,
despite rupee appreciation and strong net manpower addition of 3,120 Market Cap (Rs cr) 9,064
employees. Profit after tax was up 31.3% qoq, on account of lower interest
Beta 0.8
costs (down 32.3% qoq) and high other income of Rs74cr (including US
$13.5mn on account of Fx gains). We maintain our Buy recommendation on 52 WK High / Low
the stock. 1158/326
Avg. Daily Volume 2,61,167
Growth-backed by strong volumes from BT: The Revenue growth was largely Face Value (Rs) 10
driven by strong volume growth of about ~6.5% qoq in the Top account (BT),
whereas the rest of the clients recorded a cumulative volume growth of 1.8% BSE Sensex 17,929
qoq. The growth in BT was supported by a short-term (non-recurring) project in
Nifty 5,148
4QFY2010, and would continue its GBP 70-72mn run-rate in the coming
quarters. The operating profit remained flat at Rs279cr (as against Rs281cr in Reuters Code TEML.BO
3QFY2010), despite a negative Fx impact of ~4.5%. The lower realisations on
Bloomberg Code TECHM.IN
revenues were compensated to a certain extent, as the company managed a
US $13.5mn profit on account of exchange gains. The interest cost was down Shareholding Pattern (%)
by 32% qoq, as it paid another Rs350cr of loans from the restructuring fee
received in 3QFY2010. Thus, the bottom-line grew by 31.3% qoq to Rs227cr. Promoters 74.85
MF/Banks/Indian FLs 8.68
Outlook and Valuation: We expect Tech Mahindra to record an 11% CAGR in
its Top-line over FY2010-12E (excluding Mahindra Satyam), while the Bottom- FII/NRIs/OCBs 0.61
line is expected to grow at a compounded rate of 11.6% over FY2010-12E. We
Indian Public 15.86
have valued TechM on an SOTP basis, valuing Tech Mahindra (excluding
Satyam) at 13x of its expected FY2012E EPS of Rs67.8, at a 40% discount to Abs. (%) 3m 1yr 3yr
our Infosys target multiple of 22x (Historical discount of 22%), and valuing
Satyam’s stake at Rs274 per share, based on a Market cap basis, applying a Sensex 5.6 41.2 23.0
25% holding company discount, to arrive at a target price of Rs1,155. Hence,
TechM (21.4) 121.8 (54.9)
we maintain our Buy recommendation.

Top-line supported by Strong Volume growth in BT
Tech Mahindra’s revenues de-grew by 0.3% qoq (up 12.6% yoy), led by a strong
volume growth of 4.1% qoq. The volume growth in the Top account was up by
~6.5% supported by a short-term (non-recurring) project concluding in 4QFY2010.
However, the management has guided towards a sustained revenue run-rate of GBP
70-72mn from BT for the foreseeable future. The company is still negotiating for the
Andes deal, but is confident of maintaining its business flow from BT. The volume
for the non-BT business grew by ~1.8%. The contribution from the Top 2-5 clients
fell by 9% qoq to US $67mn (from US $74mn). Volumes for the BPO segment grew
by 8.2% qoq; thus, the company continued its hiring in the segment. The BPO
headcount has gone up to 8,087 in 4QFY2010 from 3,769 in 4QFY2009. The total
employee count touched 33,524 at the end of the quarter, with a net addition of
3,120. The company marked a net client addition of 3 clients to 113, largely in the
RoW (Rest of the World) market. Geography-wise, the growth momentum came
from Europe, where the total contribution grew by 1%, from 56% in 3QFY2010 to
57% in 4QFY2010, despite a severe Fx headwind (in terms of GBP depreciation
against the USD).

EBITDA margins remain flat

SG&A spends moved up by 106bp qoq, resulting in a flattish EBIDTA margin for the
quarter.

Interest costs went down by 32% qoq, as the company paid debt worth Rs350cr from
the restructuring fee received in 3QFY2010. The total debt as on FY2010E is
~1,370cr, at a cost of 7%. Other income of Rs74cr during the quarter lifted the
bottom-line by 31% qoq to Rs227cr. The other Income largely includes exchange
gains of about Rs60cr on the hedging portfolio. The effective Tax rate for the quarter
was 19.2%, as against 14.1% in 3QFY2010, on account of the higher other income
component. The profit margin, after adjusting for other income, showed an
improvement of 80bp, on a sequential basis, to 15.4%.
Profitability buoyed by lower interest costs and high Other Income
The operating margin for the quarter was maintained at 23.6% in 4QFY2010, as
the company saved on salary costs through higher efficiency, covering up for the
weaker realisations (due to the INR appreciation). The utilisation remained flat at
73%, absorbing the increase in employee additions. Going forward, margins may
come under pressure as the company may announce wage hikes in 1QFY2010, in
line with its competitors.
Mahindra Satyam Financial Performance likely to be announced by June 30, 2010
The Financials of Mahindra Satyam are likely to be declared by June 30, 2010,
which may add a profit contribution from the associate from 2QFY2011E. We have
valued Satyam on a market cap basis, providing for a 25% holding company
discount. The per share value of Satyam for TechM shareholders stood at Rs274.

4. Tech Mahindra I 4QFY2010 Result Update
Outlook and Valuation
Tech Mahindra has been consistently winning big deals in the telecom space and
has emerged as a preferred vendor of choice in the telecom vertical. The company
has been constantly expanding its focus into North America and Asia to cover up for
its stagnant revenue stream from the European market. We believe that the
uncertainty on restructuring with BT (46% of total revenues) has posed a severe
overhang on the future revenue growth of the company. However, the company has
been clocking strong revenue traction in the Non-BT business, registering a CQGR
of 7% over 1QFY2008-4QFY2010. The management is confident of maintaining
the business momentum with BT, with an expected annual run-rate of GBP
~285mn; thus, the revenue growth would largely remain a function of non-BT
business in FY2011E. The Net Profitability has dropped by 760bp in FY2010 over
FY2009 to 15.1%. We expect the company to maintain its profitability, as it has
headroom for efficiency in utilisation (73%) and S&M expenses, in view of its higher
business visibility (assured volume on the BT Strada project), which would cushion
margin pressures.

We expect Tech Mahindra to record an 11% CAGR in its Top-line over FY2010-12E
(excluding Mahindra Satyam), while the Bottom-line is expected to grow at a
compounded rate of 11.6% over FY2010-12E. We have valued TechM on an SOTP
basis, valuing Tech Mahindra (excluding Satyam) at 13x of its expected FY2012E
EPS of Rs67.8, at a 40% discount to our Infosys target multiple of 22x (Historical
discount of 22%), and valuing Satyam’s stake at Rs274 per share, based on a
Market cap basis, applying a 25% holding company discount, to arrive at a target
price of Rs1,155. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation.
