✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Tech Mahindra reported Q4 FY25 revenue of $1,549M (flat YoY, -1.5% CC QoQ) and full-year revenue of $6,264M (+0.3% CC). EBIT margin expanded 310bps YoY to 10.5% in Q4, driven by Project Fortius savings and portfolio pruning. Full-year EBIT margin was 9.7%, up 360bps YoY. Deal wins surged 42.5% YoY to $2.7B TCV, with two >$100M deals in Q4. BFSI grew 5.2% YoY, while Comms declined 4.2%. Management highlighted macro headwinds in US auto and high-tech, but sees stabilization in European/APAC telecom. FY27 targets of peer-leading growth and 15% EBIT margin remain, but FY26 faces macro uncertainty. Risk: tariff impacts and delayed discretionary spending could pressure near-term revenue.

DROPPED

NEW RISK
Macroeconomic headwinds in US and auto sector

Management noted softness in US high-tech and auto sectors, with delayed BPS ramp-ups and cautious discretionary spending.

NEW RISK
Tariff impact on telecom and manufacturing

While telecom is currently exempt from tariffs, potential tariff changes and consumer slowdown could pressure client spending.

NEW RISK
Competitive pricing pressure in constrained budgets

Analyst questioned whether prudent deal strategy could be a risk if competitors become more aggressive on pricing.

NEW RISK
Revenue growth dependency on macro recovery

Management acknowledged that margin expansion requires revenue growth, and current macro stress may delay FY27 targets.

RISK GONE
Lumpy large deal pipeline

Large deal wins are inherently lumpy; a quarter without major closures could slow revenue growth momentum.

RISK GONE

Wage hikes of 1-1.5% will pressure Q4 margins; offsetting levers may not fully compensate.

RISK GONE
Persistent weakness in European auto and North American telco

Manufacturing declined 2.5% QoQ due to Pininfarina and European auto pressures; North American telco discretionary spend remains challenged.

RISK GONE
Forex losses from cross-currency headwinds
