Tech Mahindra reported Q4 FY24 revenue of INR 12,871 crore, down 6.4% YoY in constant currency, with EBIT margin of 7.4% (up 200bps QoQ). Full-year revenue declined 4.7% CC, driven by headwinds in the communications vertical. Management outlined a three-year strategy targeting above-peer growth and 15% EBIT margin by FY27, underpinned by Project Fortius aiming for $250M annual savings. FY25 is positioned as a turnaround year with YoY growth expected from Q1. Key risks include execution on the ambitious margin roadmap and continued weakness in telecom vertical.
टेक महिंद्रा ने चौथी तिमाही में 12,871 करोड़ रुपये का कारोबार किया, जो पिछले साल से 6.4% कम है। कंपनी का मुनाफा मार्जिन 7.4% रहा, जो पिछली तिमाही से 2% बेहतर है। पूरे साल कारोबार में 4.7% की गिरावट आई, खासकर दूरसंचार क्षेत्र में कमजोरी के कारण। कंपनी ने तीन साल की योजना बनाई है - 2027 तक मुनाफा मार्जिन 15% तक पहुंचाना और 'प्रोजेक्ट फोर्टियस' से हर साल 250 मिलियन डॉलर बचाना। अगला वित्त वर्ष सुधार का साल होगा, पहली तिमाही से ही कारोबार बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। मुख्य चुनौतियां हैं - मुनाफा बढ़ाने का लक्ष्य पूरा करना और दूरसंचार क्षेत्र में कमजोरी।
