✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Wipro reported Q4 FY24 IT services revenue of $2.617-2.670 billion (guidance range), with sequential growth of 0.1% in reported currency and -0.3% in constant currency. Full-year revenue declined 3.8% YoY in reported terms. EBITDA margin expanded 40bps QoQ to 16.4%, driven by operational rigor. Large deal bookings were strong at $1.2 billion TCV in Q4, with 18 large deals won. Capco showed encouraging green shoots with 6.6% sequential revenue growth and 43.6% order booking growth. However, Q1 FY25 guidance is muted at -1.5% to +0.5% constant currency growth, reflecting persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and soft discretionary spending. New CEO Srini Pallia outlined five priorities: accelerate large deals, strengthen client relationships, focus on industry-specific AI-infused solutions, build AI-ready talent, and simplify operating model. Key risk: conversion of strong order book to revenue remains challenged by ongoing demand softness and ramp-downs.

UPDATED
Q1 FY25 Revenue Guidance: -1.5% to +0.5% sequential constant currency

DROPPED
Expect rebound in coming quarters after Q3

Management sees strong deal backlog and pipeline, expecting growth improvement as market stabilizes.

NEW RISK

Persistent macroeconomic uncertainty continues to weigh on discretionary IT spending, leading to slower conversion of order book to revenue and muted near-term growth.

NEW RISK

RISK GONE
Revenue decline in Europe and Americas Two

RISK GONE
Margin pressure from wage hikes and furloughs in Q3

Wage hikes effective December and seasonal furloughs will pressure margins; management only expects range-bound performance.

RISK GONE
Growth lagging peers despite strong deal wins

Analyst noted Wipro's organic growth is among the lowest in the industry; management attributes to portfolio mix and transformation focus.
