✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Wipro's Q2 FY25 results met expectations with IT services revenue of $2.66B (0.6% QoQ CC) and operating margin of 16.8%, expanding 71bps YoY. Growth was driven by BFSI (2.7% QoQ) and Technology & Communications (1.6% QoQ), while Manufacturing (-2%) and Energy & Utilities (-3.7%) remained weak. Total bookings of $3.6B included 19 large deals with TCV of $1.49B, up 29% QoQ. Management guided Q3 revenue of -2% to 0% QoQ CC due to seasonal furloughs and fewer working days, but expects margins to stay in a narrow band. Key risks include continued weakness in Europe and delayed recovery in Manufacturing and ENU verticals.

1 new guidance4 new risk4 risk resolved
NEW
Target operating margin band of 17%-17.5%

Q2 margin of 16.8% brings company closer to the aspirational band; revenue growth needed to sustain beyond 17%.

UPDATED
Q3 FY25 revenue guidance: -2% to 0% QoQ CC

Revenue expected to be $2.607B-$2.660B, impacted by seasonal furloughs and fewer working days.

UPDATED
Margins expected to stay in narrow band in Q3

Despite headwinds from furloughs and salary increases, management confident of maintaining margins within a narrow band.

NEW RISK
Continued weakness in Europe

Manufacturing (-2%) and Energy & Utilities (-3.7%) remained weak; management cited pipeline but no timeline for recovery.

NEW RISK
Furlough impact on BFSI and Capco

Capco's consulting business is more susceptible to furloughs, which could weigh on Q3 growth despite strong momentum.

NEW RISK
Slow conversion of large deals to revenue

Large deals take 2-3 quarters to ramp up; analyst flagged delayed conversion, though management expressed confidence.

RISK GONE
Softness in Europe and APMEA

Europe and APMEA markets declined sequentially, with Europe pipeline healthy but conversion weak; APMEA strategy under review.

RISK GONE
Delayed ramp-up of large deals

Large deals signed in Q1 may take several quarters to fully ramp, limiting near-term revenue upside.

RISK GONE
Energy & Utilities weakness

E&U vertical declined 6.3% sequentially due to end of large programs; recovery dependent on pipeline conversion.

RISK GONE
Competitive intensity from GenAI pricing

Some competitors offering large productivity gains to clients via GenAI, potentially pressuring pricing.
