2-Minute Summary
✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Happiest Minds reported Q4 FY24 revenue of INR 443 crore, up 14.5% YoY, with EBITDA margin of 24.5%. Full-year revenue grew 11% in constant currency, beating EBITDA guidance for the 16th consecutive quarter. Growth was driven by strong performance in India and healthcare verticals, and early traction in the newly formed Generative AI business unit (GBS), which already has 14 active customers. Management guided for FY25 revenue growth of 35-40% (including acquisitions) and EBITDA margins of 22-24%. Two strategic acquisitions, PureSoftware and Macmillan Learning, add 1,250 employees and strengthen BFSI, healthcare, and EdTech capabilities. The company targets $1 billion revenue by 2031 at a 22% CAGR. Revenue growth of 35-40% is expected in FY25, with EBITDA margin of 22-24%. The GBS unit is projected to grow to 250 people by year-end. Attrition dropped to 13% from 19.8% a year ago. Key risk: elongated deal cycles and macro uncertainty could delay organic growth recovery.
हैप्पिएस्ट माइंड्स ने चौथी तिमाही में 443 करोड़ रुपये का कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 14.5% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 24.5% रहा। पूरे साल की कमाई 11% बढ़ी। नई AI टीम (GBS) को 14 ग्राहक मिले। अगले साल कमाई 35-40% बढ़ने का अनुमान है, और मुनाफा 22-24% रहेगा। दो कंपनियां खरीदकर 1,250 कर्मचारी जोड़े। 2031 तक 1,000 करोड़ डॉलर कमाई का लक्ष्य है। कर्मचारियों के छोड़ने की दर 13% पर आ गई। जोखिम: बड़े सौदों में देरी और बाजार की अनिश्चितता।
