Solid Quarter, Outlook Robust
• Hexaware Technologies (HEXW) recorded a strong 2Q CY19, with
revenue up 4.7% QoQ to US$188.5mn. Adjusted for 15 day
revenue impact for Mobiquity (acquired in Jun’19), USD revenue
rose 2.8% QoQ,
• Growth components include volume growth of 3.9% QoQ and
higher billing days of 1.1% QoQ, totalling 5% CC growth, while
there was an adverse currency impact of 0.3% QoQ.
• Owing to healthy revenue growth, lower visa cost, improved
billing rate, favourable delivery-mix, higher utilisation and cost
efficiencies, EBIT margin rose 87bps QoQ to 14.6% (154bps above
our estimate). Aided by higher margin, other income and lower
tax rate, adjusted net profit surged by 21.5% QoQ with reported
net profit rising by 9.3% QoQ after accounting for one-time
acquisition cost of Rs170mn.
• EBITDA growth is likely to track revenue growth, thus implying
slight downgrade in EBITDA, given that the IT firm had given the
same EBITDA growth guidance earlier but on 20% revenue
growth guidance vs. 19% currently.
• HEXW is seeing a strong pipeline in its non-BFS verticals, with
MFG and Consumer likely to see healthy growth from 3Q, with
the client-specific issue out of the equation (completion of a
project with no backfill), while Travel, Healthcare & Insurance
and Professional Services are all expected to see a strong
2HCY19, even stronger than 1HCY19 (17.3% YoY growth).

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Corporate Overview
Hexaware is one of the fastest growing
IT services company with consistent
growth on the back of increased order
wins and geographical expansion and
with the vision of having 50 digital
workforce and strong culture of
innovation.
Company is creating a culture of
automation first approach, building
capabilities and focusing on products
and alliances to transform how IT
services are delivered.
The company is enabling this through
excellent client relationships and strong
execution capabilities that helps us build
trust with our clients and within client
organizations.
Management lowered its CY19 revenue
growth guidance a notch to 19% from
20% earlier to factor in rising challenges
at one of its large secondary-mortgage
industry clients. HEXW is still optimistic
about achieving CY19 organic growth
within its earlier stated range of 12-
14%. Management expects Q3CY19
growth (including organic revenue) to
be better than that in Q2 and hinted at
the possibility of lower seasonal
softness in Q4 as contracts won in
recent quarters scale up.

industry average growth along with solid margin
management, we remain positive on Hexaware.

BSF Vertical on Firm Footing Despite continued BFS headwinds, Hexaware’s lowdouble digit
(organic) growth trajectory is sustainable supported by IMS/BPM (no legacy) and driven by
Automation, Cloud and Digital offerings. We expect strong synergies/cross sell from Mobiquity
acquisition with portfolio augmentation across BFS, Healthcare and Retail verticals backed by robust
partner ecosystem
