Tech Mahindra reported Q3 FY24 revenue of $1.573 billion, down 5.7% YoY, with EBIT margins at 5.4% (7% adjusted for exceptional items). The quarter saw a sequential revenue uptick of 1.1%, driven by manufacturing and retail, but telecom and BFSI remained weak due to furloughs. Management emphasized a three-track turnaround focusing on sales simplification, centralized delivery, and organizational restructuring. New deal wins totaled $381 million, down from the prior quarter's $600M+. The company guided that telecom has not bottomed out and expects near-term volatility. Key risks include continued telecom stress, margin dilution from investments, and execution challenges in the turnaround. Management plans to share a detailed strategic roadmap in April.
टेक महिंद्रा की तीसरी तिमाही की कमाई 1.573 अरब डॉलर रही, जो पिछले साल की तुलना में 5.7% कम है। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBIT) सिर्फ 5.4% रहा, लेकिन एक बार के खर्चों को हटाकर यह 7% था। इस तिमाही में पिछली तिमाही से कमाई में 1.1% का सुधार हुआ, जिसकी वजह मैन्युफैक्चरिंग और रिटेल सेक्टर रहे। लेकिन टेलीकॉम और बैंकिंग सेक्टर कमजोर रहे क्योंकि ग्राहकों ने छुट्टियों के कारण काम रोक दिया। कंपनी का कहना है कि टेलीकॉम सेक्टर अभी और गिर सकता है। नए सौदों की कीमत 381 मिलियन डॉलर रही, जो पिछली तिमाही के 600 मिलियन डॉलर से कम है। कंपनी अप्रैल में अपनी पूरी रणनीति बताएगी।

Exceptional items of 260bps impacted Q2 margins; further one-time costs may arise in Q3 from portfolio rationalization.
RISK GONE
Revenue decline in top 5 clients
Top 5 client revenues have declined ~30% over six quarters due to wallet share loss and non-core business exits.
