    Motilal Oswal's research report on Tech Mahindra

    Tech Mahindra (TechM)’s 3QFY22 USD revenue growth at 4.7% QoQ CC (organic growth at 4.0% QoQ CC) was 100bps above our estimates. It was driven by yet another quarter of strong performance from BPO (9.7% QoQ / 35.3% YoY), while IT Services was impacted by furloughs (up 2.0% QoQ, ex-acquisitions). Vertical growth was led by Comm. (+6.9% QoQ CC), while Enterprise (3.2% QoQ CC) was modest. New deal wins at USD704m (down 6% QoQ) have stayed in a narrow range in recent quarters. Although, the management continues to see sustained traction in the deal momentum. - Excluding one-off gains, the 3Q EBIT margin dipped 120bps QoQ to 14.0% v/s our expectation of 15.1% on higher subcontracting expenses (+12% QoQ), employee-related interventions, and lower utilization (-300bps QoQ to 86%). TechM added a modest 3.9k in 3Q after an all-time high net addition of 15k employees in 2Q.

    Outlook

    We continue to stay on the sidelines on TechM as we see stronger business performance as balanced by elevated operational risks in a supply-constrained environment. We reduce our EPS estimates by 3–4% for FY22E/FY23E post the 3Q miss. Our TP implies 19x FY24E EPS. We remain Neutral on the stock.
