BUY
revenue of Rs. 8178 mn in Q3FY16 which is up by 3.2% Q-o-Q and 8.9% Y-o-Y.
EBITDA is Rs. 1005 Mn which was Rs. 984 Mn in Q2FY16 and the margins dropped
to 12.3% which is by 13 bps Q-o-Q and 17 bps Y-o-Y. This sluggish movement
and ramp down in margins mainly due to disruption in Chennai operations and
business continuity cost. However, the growth momentum is expected to continue
in Q4FY16E due to ISGN acquisition, demand in Healthcare and BFSI segments.
FSL operating over 3000 employees in Chennai which deals with transaction
processing for healthcare business; and because of the disruption in Chennai
operations due to floods, the company lost $2 Mn which also translates into 0.5%
impact for the full year and this impact on the profit side is almost $1 Mn in FY16E.
ISGN acquisition driving the synergies and business potential: FSL signed
a definitive agreement to acquire the BPO, the services side of the business for
a consideration of $13 Mn of ISGN Corporation. ISGN is a leading full service
provider of mortgage, technology and services. Management is expecting that this
acquisition helps to gain a footprint in to the North American mortgage market. Over
700 employees of ISGN based in US and India will become part of the Firstsource
team on closure. The revenue of ISGN for FY15 is about $25 mn which has an impact
of negative EBITDA currently. However, management is confident to bring EBITDA
positive in FY17E which impacts good improvement in EPS on blended basis.
As Q3FY16 results were little upset and we marginally changed our revenue as
ISGN additional revenue is kicking in Q4FY16E & FY17E which also affect the
margins in FY16E & FY17E. On the back of demand environment in Healthcare
and BFSI segments, we continue to maintain our positive outlook on FSL and we
maintain our BUY rating with a target price of Rs. 50, based on 10.3x P/E FY17E,
representing an upside potential of 43%.

FSL continues to repay debt as per plan of $11.25 Mn per quarter. Debt repayment to be supported by healthy free cash flow
generation. The Net long-term debt of $97 Mn as of December 31, 2015. Management is looking at FY17E net debt levels
