Q3FY16 earnings were soft as growth was below our and consensus
estimates while margins were in line. US$ revenues declined 0.3%
QoQ to $4,145 million vs. our 0.5% growth & $4,177 million estimate
Constant currency revenues grew 0.5% QoQ led by growth in
international business (1.1%) partially offset by weakness in India (60 bps) business
At 26.6%, EBIT margins declined 50 bps QoQ weighed by increased
SG&A expenses (-60 bps) but were in line with our 60 bps decline
and 26.5% estimate. PAT of | 6,110 crore was marginally ahead of
our | 6,010 crore estimate
TCS announced an interim dividend of | 5.5/share
Soft quarter leads to estimate revision
We are adjusting our estimates lower as 9MFY16 YoY growth of 6.8% is
the slowest since FY10, when revenues grew 1.6%. We now expect $
revenues to grow 6.9% (7.5% earlier) in FY16E and 10.5% in FY17E
translating to FY15-17E CAGR of 8.7% (10%). That said, change in rupee
assumption to | 65/| 66 for FY16E/FY17E vs. | 63.5 each earlier leads to a
modest raise in our rupee revenue estimates.
Margins continue to be in the target band
At 26.6%, EBIT margins declined 50 bps QoQ weighed by increased
SG&A expenses (-60 bps) partially offset by rupee tailwind (10 bps) but
were in line with our 26.5% estimate. Margins continue to be within the
aspirational 26-28% band and demonstrate TCS superior execution
capabilities. We expect 11 bps decline in FY16E margins to 26.8% while
those in FY17E could decline 90 bps to 25.9%.
Client mining encouraging
Demand trends continues to be healthy as TCS signed nine large deals
spread across North America (three), Europe (three), LatAm (two) and UK
(one). Client transitions were also good as one client transitioned to $100
million+ bucket, two to US$20-50 million, five to $10-20 million, two to
$5-10 million, and 10 to $1 million+. At 80.9%, including-trainees,
utilisation declined 140 bps QoQ while ex-trainees utilisation declined 110
bps led by impact of Chennai floods, higher gross addition, and ~10,500
lateral hires. Though attrition declined 30 bps QoQ and 250 bps YoY to
15.9% it continues to be at elevated levels. Absolute attrition was lower
QoQ (13,047 vs. 14,501 in Q2) and could moderate further.
Deal signings continue to be healthy
TCS signed nine large deals in Q3 (13 in Q2FY16, nine in Q1, nine in
Q4FY15, seven in Q3 and eight in Q2) spread across key verticals. Three
deals came from banking and one each from insurance, manufacturing,
retail, telecom, utilities and travel. Recall, management had highlighted in
Q2 earnings that TCV of deals signed is 30% higher than its previous best.
Growth intact but in transition; maintain BUY
We estimate rupee revenue, adjusted PAT CAGR of 12.8%, 8.5% in FY1517E (average 26.4% EBIT margins in FY16-17E), vs. 26% each reported in
FY10-15 (average 27.5% margins), respectively. We are adjusting our
dollar revenue growth estimates lower to account for slowest start to any
year since FY10 and also ascribe a lower multiple to account for growth
deceleration. Consequently, we now value TCS at | 2,600 (20x FY17E EPS
of | 130) vs. | 2,800 (21.5x FY17E EPS of | 130) earlier but maintain our
BUY rating.

Company Analysis
Key highlights: Commentary from earnings call
Japan, Diligenta continue to be weak spots. LatAm recovery
continues in Q3 (grew 13.3% QoQ-CC on top 6.2% in Q2).
Diligenta, energy woes could bottom in Q4 while Japan is in wait
and watch mode led by higher than anticipated delay in resolving
integration related concerns.
The Ignio platform, AI-based automation product in software-as-aservice category, is tracking well. Four new deals were signed,
while deals signed in prior quarters have seen go-lives.
Digital business grew 4% in CC terms (10.7% in Q2) along with 40
bps improvement in contribution to 13.7% vs. 13.3% in Q2.
No negative news from customers related to CY16E IT budgets.
However, the company would wait for few more weeks before
calling out vertical trends.
From a vertical perspective, BFS traction continues led by healthy
deal wins.
Digital platforms continues to drive IT services spending in select
verticals (retail, CPG, travel, BFS and partly insurance). TCS is
participating in a big way in its client spends
Operating metric highlights
Operationally, growth was broad based across verticals, geographies and
service lines. Among large verticals, BFSI (40.5% of revenues, grew 0.7%
QoQ in CC), manufacturing (9.9%, 2.3%), life sciences (7.3%, 4.1%), hitech (6%, 2%), grew above company average while retail & distribution
(13.8%, 0.3%), telecom (8.4%, 0.3%) grew below. Smaller verticals travel
(3.6%, 2.9%), energy & utilities (4.1%, 1.6%), and media (2.5%, 2.5%)
aided company average growth. Geographically, North America (53.5%,
1.4%), Continental Europe (10.9%, 2.3%), LatAm (2.1%, 13.3%) led,
helped by APAC (9.4%, 0.4%) while UK (15.9%, -0.7%), India (6%, -6.7%),
and MEA (2.2%, -5.8%) were soft.
Growth was muted across service lines baring IMS, BPO and engineering
services. IMS (15.2% of revenues, grew 3.7% QoQ in CC), engineering
services (4.5%, 1.5%), BPO (11.8%, 3.5%) led quarterly growth while
ADM (39.7%, -0.2%), enterprise solutions and consulting (17.4%, -0.1%)
and asset leveraged solutions (2.8%, -11.6%) were particularly weak.
Soft quarter leads to estimate revision
TCS Q3FY16 earnings missed estimates as volume (0.4%) growth in a
seasonally soft quarter, though similar to Q3FY15, was offset by
weakness in India. Noticeably, 9MFY16 YoY growth of 6.8% is the slowest
since FY10, when revenues grew 1.6%. We now expect $ revenues to
grow 6.9% (7.5% earlier) in FY16E and 10.5% in FY17E translating to
FY15-17E CAGR of 8.7% (10%). That said, change in rupee assumption to
| 65/| 66 for FY16E/FY17E vs. | 63.5 each earlier leads to a modest raise
in our rupee revenue estimates. Note, demand environment across
verticals (financial services, life sciences, manufacturing in core markets,
retail), geographies (the US, UK ex Diligenta, APAC) and services (digital,
IMS, assurance) continues to be encouraging. However, Japan and
Diligenta are challenged and, thus, creating growth volatility.
