 the back of a strong pipeline from HP-EDS. Going ahead, we expect the company
 to achieve steady volume growth of 4.5% CQGR over 3QFY2010–4QFY2012E

 increased tax rates from 11% (FY2010) to 25% (FY2012E). We value Mphasis at

 maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a Target Price of Rs872.

                  Segment wise, the application business witnessed strong volume growth of 7.3%,
                  limiting the impact of steep price cuts of 9.6% under the new rate card pricing
                  model with HP. Also, favorable dollar rate aided revenue growth of 0.6%. Thus,
                  revenue from the application segment declined by 1.7 % qoq. The ITO business
                  grew at whopping 33.8% qoq on the back of strong ~20% volume growth. This
                  was coupled with 12% growth in pricing on account of improved mix with the
                  acquisition of Fortify Infrastructure (which added Rs27cr to the company’s revenue)
                  and because of one-time revenue of Rs10cr booked on account of achievement of
                  certain milestones targeted in the past. The BPO business witnessed a 0.5% qoq
                  (14% yoy) decline despite flat volume, which was mainly on account of a one-time
                  outage in one of the telecom clients’ facility. However, the BPO restructuring is on
                  course and is expected to yield better results in the coming quarters.

                  Mixed performance in terms of verticals

                  Growth was driven primarily by the BFS; technology and OEM; and healthcare
                  and pharma verticals. The company’s telecom vertical was affected by some
                  technical issues at the BPO client site, which resulted in breach of Service Level
                  Agreements and loss of revenue. The logistics, airlines and transportation vertical
                  remained flat, whereas the manufacturing and retail vertical posted laggard
                  performance, down 2% qoq.

                  Higher margins in ITO and BPO arrested overall margin erosion

                  Mphasis witnessed a 103bp qoq (403bp yoy) contraction in EBITDA margin in
                  3QFY2010. During the quarter, the company gave re-compensation payout and
                  fixed salary hikes, which resulted in a 160bp qoq (430bp yoy) increase in
                  manpower costs, thereby impacting the company’s margin. Segment wise, the
                  company’s pricing witnessed a steep cut of 9.6% in the application business,
                  pulling down the gross margin for the same by 380bp qoq. Overall, gross margin
                  erosion was limited to 103bp due to a positive effect of restructuring in the BPO
                  segment and cost optimisation witnessed in the ITO segment by switching to rate
                  card pricing from the earlier cost plus pricing with HP. Gross margin for the BPO
                  and ITO segments expanded by 180bp and 470bp qoq, respectively. Thus,
                  EBITDA margin slipped by only 110bp qoq despite higher selling and marketing

                  expenses on account of a one-time write-back in general and administration
                  expenses of Rs15cr, which contained further erosion in margin.

                  Improved wallet share in HP channel…

                  During the quarter, Mphasis witnessed 22 new client wins during the quarter, of
                  which the application segment won 20 and the BPO and ITO segments won one
                  each. These wins were witnessed mainly in the BFS, healthcare and manufacturing
                  verticals.

                  The HP channel is yielding fruits as reflected by higher-end migrations across
                  client pyramid. During the quarter, the company witnessed addition of one client
                  in over US $20mn category; three additions in over US $5mn category; and four
                  additions in over US $1mn category.

                  The direct channel witnessed migration of one client from over US $5mn category
                  to over US $1mn category in 3QFY2010.

                  Mphasis added 524 employees in the application segment, with 302 people
                  onsite indicating impending kick-off in some projects. The ITO segment also

                  Investment arguments
                  HP business to stabilise, as price uncertainty is now over

                  During the quarter, Mphasis demonstrated strong volume growth, primarily
                  because of the BFS spending wave. The company’s growth has been phenomenal
                  as it continues to enjoy the benefits of offshoring by HP. The flip side to this
                  Master-level Service Agreement is the kind of pricing cut witnessed by the
                  company in 3QFY2010 in the application business. However, increased pricing in
                  the ITO segment came in as a surprise for the company in 3QFY2010. The major
                  pricing review overhang is done and dusted and, going forward, management
                  expects a stable pricing arrangement with HP given that the 50% of rate card
                  pricing will remain fixed and 50% will be market driven. In case of the ITO
                  segment, which is primarily HP-driven, the rate card has proved favorable and,
                  with the acquisition of Fortify, will help to manage cost due to its remote
                  infrastructure services. Thus, we believe HP’s strong parentage would continue to
                  support and provide increased business opportunities to Mphasis.

                  Focus on Non-HP business and M&As vital for growth

                  Management has appointed Boston Consulting Group for reviewing the overall
                  organisational performance and for enhancing the company’s growth trajectory in
                  the Non-HP business going forward. This initiative coupled with the effective rate
                  card implementation, which has witnessed cost optimisation, would certainly see
                  improved operational performance for Mphasis going ahead. Mphasis has strong
                  cash position of Rs1,487cr as on date, which would help it to go for acquisitions of
                  strategic fit in the size of US $50mn–$100mn annual revenue run rate.

                  Outlook and valuation

                  Mphasis has been consistently outperforming its peers on the back of a strong
                  pipeline from HP-EDS. We assume the company’s ITO business to be the major
                  beneficiary of HP’s restructuring exercise. Further, we expect the ITO business to
                  scale up due to the acquisition of Fortify Infrastructure, growing at a scorching
                  pace of 7% CQGR over 3QFY2010–4QFY2012E, followed by the application
                  business, which will likely grow at a 5% CQGR over the same period. Going
                  ahead, we expect the company to achieve steady volume growth of 4.5% CQGR,
                  with stable pricing across its business segments. With the new rate card in place
                  for its application business, gross margin will shift its orbit to the lower side, but
                  strong growth and robust profitability in the ITO segment will provide some
                  cushion. With fixed rate card in place for the ITO segment, cost pressures will play
                  out and EBIT margin will slip. Hence, we expect EBIT margin to settle to 22.3% for
                  FY2011E and FY2012E from 21.3% in FY2010. PAT is expected to increase at a
                  12% CAGR over FY2009–12E on the back of in-the-money hedges as well as yield
                  from a strong cash position setting off increased tax rates from 11% (FY2010) to
                  25% (FY2012E). We value the stock at 14.3x FY2012E EPS of Rs60.9 (at 32%
                  discount to Infosys’ target PE of 21x) and maintain our Buy rating on the stock with
                  a Target Price of Rs872.

                  We have changed our estimates for FY2011E from Rs54.5 to Rs59.0 and for
                  FY2012E from Rs64.5 to Rs61.0 as we expect strong volume growth in the ITO
                  segment and favorable price points to aid margins. In FY2012E, we believe strong
                  hiring with cost inflation and fixed rate card system will cease the cushion benefit
                  given by the ITO segment. Hence, profitability growth in FY2012E will be limited.

The Beta 0.6 company reported mixed performance. Volume growth in the application and ITO 52 Week High / Low 796/545 segments stood robust, but pricing cut by HP stood steep at 9.6% for the application segment. However, the restructuring exercise in the BPO segment, Avg. Daily Volume 163230 change in business mix and favorable price review in the ITO segment led to Face Value (Rs) 10 180bp and 470bp expansion in BPO and ITO margins, respectively, limiting the BSE Sensex 18,226 overall gross margin erosion to 110bp. Nifty 5,478 Robust volume steals the show: Mphasis registered impressive volume growth of Reuters Code MBFL.BO 7.6% qoq in the application segment and ~20% qoq growth in the ITO segment (including revenue from Fortify Infrastructure, which was acquired during the Bloomberg Code MPHL@IN quarter). During the quarter, client addition stood high at 22, spanning across the BFS, manufacturing and healthcare verticals. Net employee addition stood at 1,156, with majority of additions on the lateral side highlighting a strong demand Shareholding Pattern (%) landscape. EBITDA margin declined by 110bp because of the new rate card Promoters 60.6 pricing model with HP, which brought down realisations by 9.6% in the MF / Banks / Indian Fls 15.3 application business. Net profit increased to Rs271.3cr despite flat EBIT due to tax write-back with retreatment of profits under Section 10AA related to SEZ. FII / NRIs / OCBs 18.3 Outlook and valuation: Mphasis has been consistently outperforming its peers on Indian Public / Others 5.8 the back of a strong pipeline from HP-EDS. Going ahead, we expect the company to achieve steady volume growth of 4.5% CQGR over 3QFY2010–4QFY2012E and stable pricing across its business segments. With the new rate card for its Abs. (%) 3m 1yr 3yr application business in place, the gross margin will shift its orbit to the lower side, Sensex 11.2 15.6 26.4 but strong growth and robust profitability in the ITO segment will provide some cushion. We expect EBIT margin to settle to 22.3% for FY2011E and 21.3% in Mphasis 0.5 8.9 124.7 FY2012E. PAT is expected to register a 12% CAGR over FY2009–12E on the back of in-the-money hedges as well as yield from a strong cash position setting off increased tax rates from 11% (FY2010) to 25% (FY2012E). We value Mphasis at 14.3x FY2012E EPS of Rs60.9 (at 32% discount to Infosys’ target PE of 21x) and maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a Target Price of Rs872.

  • 3. Mphasis | 3QFY2010 Result Update Segment wise, the application business witnessed strong volume growth of 7.3%, limiting the impact of steep price cuts of 9.6% under the new rate card pricing model with HP. Also, favorable dollar rate aided revenue growth of 0.6%. Thus, revenue from the application segment declined by 1.7 % qoq. The ITO business grew at whopping 33.8% qoq on the back of strong ~20% volume growth. This was coupled with 12% growth in pricing on account of improved mix with the acquisition of Fortify Infrastructure (which added Rs27cr to the company’s revenue) and because of one-time revenue of Rs10cr booked on account of achievement of certain milestones targeted in the past. The BPO business witnessed a 0.5% qoq (14% yoy) decline despite flat volume, which was mainly on account of a one-time outage in one of the telecom clients’ facility. However, the BPO restructuring is on course and is expected to yield better results in the coming quarters. Mixed performance in terms of verticals Growth was driven primarily by the BFS; technology and OEM; and healthcare and pharma verticals. The company’s telecom vertical was affected by some technical issues at the BPO client site, which resulted in breach of Service Level Agreements and loss of revenue. The logistics, airlines and transportation vertical remained flat, whereas the manufacturing and retail vertical posted laggard performance, down 2% qoq.

During the quarter, the company gave re-compensation payout and fixed salary hikes, which resulted in a 160bp qoq (430bp yoy) increase in manpower costs, thereby impacting the company’s margin. Segment wise, the company’s pricing witnessed a steep cut of 9.6% in the application business, pulling down the gross margin for the same by 380bp qoq. Overall, gross margin erosion was limited to 103bp due to a positive effect of restructuring in the BPO segment and cost optimisation witnessed in the ITO segment by switching to rate card pricing from the earlier cost plus pricing with HP. Gross margin for the BPO and ITO segments expanded by 180bp and 470bp qoq, respectively. Thus, EBITDA margin slipped by only 110bp qoq despite higher selling and marketing August 26, 2010 3

Improved wallet share in HP channel… During the quarter, Mphasis witnessed 22 new client wins during the quarter, of which the application segment won 20 and the BPO and ITO segments won one each. These wins were witnessed mainly in the BFS, healthcare and manufacturing verticals. The HP channel is yielding fruits as reflected by higher-end migrations across client pyramid. During the quarter, the company witnessed addition of one client in over US $20mn category; three additions in over US $5mn category; and four additions in over US $1mn category. The direct channel witnessed migration of one client from over US $5mn category to over US $1mn category in 3QFY2010.

  • 5. Mphasis | 3QFY2010 Result Update Hiring spree continues to brace strong pipeline… Mphasis added 524 employees in the application segment, with 302 people onsite indicating impending kick-off in some projects. The ITO segment also added 753 people offshore, envisaging a strong demand pipeline, and 211 people onsite, largely related to absorption of Fortify Infrastructure’s manpower.

The company’s growth has been phenomenal as it continues to enjoy the benefits of offshoring by HP. The flip side to this Master-level Service Agreement is the kind of pricing cut witnessed by the company in 3QFY2010 in the application business. However, increased pricing in the ITO segment came in as a surprise for the company in 3QFY2010. The major pricing review overhang is done and dusted and, going forward, management expects a stable pricing arrangement with HP given that the 50% of rate card pricing will remain fixed and 50% will be market driven. In case of the ITO segment, which is primarily HP-driven, the rate card has proved favorable and, with the acquisition of Fortify, will help to manage cost due to its remote infrastructure services. Thus, we believe HP’s strong parentage would continue to support and provide increased business opportunities to Mphasis. Focus on Non-HP business and M&As vital for growth Management has appointed Boston Consulting Group for reviewing the overall organisational performance and for enhancing the company’s growth trajectory in the Non-HP business going forward. This initiative coupled with the effective rate card implementation, which has witnessed cost optimisation, would certainly see improved operational performance for Mphasis going ahead. Mphasis has strong cash position of Rs1,487cr as on date, which would help it to go for acquisitions of strategic fit in the size of US $50mn–$100mn annual revenue run rate. August 26, 2010 5
  • 6. Mphasis | 3QFY2010 Result Update Outlook and valuation Mphasis has been consistently outperforming its peers on the back of a strong pipeline from HP-EDS. We assume the company’s ITO business to be the major beneficiary of HP’s restructuring exercise. Further, we expect the ITO business to scale up due to the acquisition of Fortify Infrastructure, growing at a scorching pace of 7% CQGR over 3QFY2010–4QFY2012E, followed by the application business, which will likely grow at a 5% CQGR over the same period. Going ahead, we expect the company to achieve steady volume growth of 4.5% CQGR, with stable pricing across its business segments. With the new rate card in place for its application business, gross margin will shift its orbit to the lower side, but strong growth and robust profitability in the ITO segment will provide some cushion. With fixed rate card in place for the ITO segment, cost pressures will play out and EBIT margin will slip. Hence, we expect EBIT margin to settle to 22.3% for FY2011E and FY2012E from 21.3% in FY2010. PAT is expected to increase at a 12% CAGR over FY2009–12E on the back of in-the-money hedges as well as yield from a strong cash position setting off increased tax rates from 11% (FY2010) to 25% (FY2012E). We value the stock at 14.3x FY2012E EPS of Rs60.9 (at 32% discount to Infosys’ target PE of 21x) and maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a Target Price of Rs872.

In FY2012E, we believe strong hiring with cost inflation and fixed rate card system will cease the cushion benefit given by the ITO segment. Hence, profitability growth in FY2012E will be limited.
