Quarter read
What the record says.
Tech Mahindra reported Q2 FY25 revenue of INR 13,313 crore (+3.5% YoY) and EBIT margin of 9.6% (+110bps QoQ), driven by Project Fortius savings and currency tailwinds. PAT stood at INR 1,250 crore (9.4% margin). Deal wins TCV was $603 million, with BFSI growing 4.5% YoY and communications stabilizing sequentially. Management highlighted disciplined large deal strategy, prioritizing margins over volume. Guidance points to continued margin expansion through cost optimization and fresher hiring. Risks include sustained weakness in telecom vertical, competitive pricing pressure, and potential furlough impact in Q3.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated commitment to significant and predictable margin expansion by FY27, driven by Project Fortius and operational efficiencies.
- Company is on track to hire over 6,000 fresh graduates this fiscal year, with 2,000+ already onboarded in H1.
- Management expects to reduce subcontractor costs as a percentage of revenue to single digits over time, supporting margin expansion.
- Investments under Project Fortius (1.5% of margins) will be slightly more in H2 vs H1, but not materially different.
Risks flagged
- Communications vertical declined 1.7% YoY as clients prioritize cost savings; U.S. telecom remains stressed.
- Management noted competitors making 'heroic assumptions' on productivity, potentially leading to aggressive pricing that TechM avoids.
- Q3 is seasonally weak due to furloughs; management has limited visibility on magnitude this early.
- Manufacturing vertical declined 4% QoQ due to softness in auto, especially in Europe and U.S.
Key quotes
- We will prioritize margins over large deals at this point of time.
- We are the only IT services player that has a unique software capability for the telecoms business.
- We are seeing the percentage of GenAI-infused deals go up every quarter.
