Quarter read
What the record says.
Infosys reported a strong Q1 FY25 with broad-based revenue growth, margin expansion, and record large deal wins. Revenue grew 3.6% sequentially and 2.5% YoY in constant currency, driven by a 7.9% growth in financial services (first positive in six quarters) and positive volume growth. Operating margin improved 100bps sequentially to 21.1%, aided by Project Maximus benefits and a one-time recovery. Large deal TCV was $4.1 billion with 58% net new. Management raised FY25 revenue guidance to 3%-4% CC (from 1%-3%), while maintaining margin guidance of 20%-22%. Key drivers include US financial services recovery, strong deal pipeline, and GenAI traction. Risks: discretionary spending remains pressured outside financial services, and retail/high-tech verticals continue to face headwinds.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Infosys revised its full-year constant currency revenue growth guidance from 1%-3% to 3%-4%, reflecting strong Q1 performance and improved visibility.
- Despite headwinds from wage hikes and deal ramp-ups, management expects to sustain margins within the guided range through Project Maximus benefits.
- Management reiterated that first-half revenue growth is likely to outpace second-half, consistent with historical seasonality.
Risks flagged
- Outside US financial services, discretionary spending continues to be weak, particularly in retail and high-tech, which could limit revenue upside.
- Management has not decided on wage revisions, which could be a margin headwind if implemented in coming quarters.
- Analysts questioned whether the recovery in US financial services is sustainable given macro uncertainties like interest rates and credit delinquencies.
- Transition and ramp-up costs from recent large deal wins could weigh on margins in the near term.
Key quotes
- We started the financial year with a strong performance in quarter one across multiple dimensions, including broad-based revenue growth, expansion operating margins, strong large deal wins, and strong cash generation.
- We are seeing early signs of improvement in financial services vertical in the U.S.
- We are very confident of our margin guidance.
