Revenue growth muted, margins disappoint: NIIT Tech reported a revenue growth of 8.4% (0.3% @cc) QoQ to Rs5,873m (PLe: Rs5,907m, Cons: Rs5,904m). EBITDA margins expanded by 66bps to 15.1% (PLe: 16%), primarily due to a forex loss accounted. However, PAT grew by 17.3% QoQ to Rs624m (PLe: Rs657m, Cons.: Rs541m).
Order book soft due to weakness in India business: Order book has declined by 42% QoQ to US$84m due to volatile India order book (Q1FY14 had US$65m order from Airport Authority of India). Order book in EMEA grew by 96.2% QoQ to US$51m, whereas America and RoW declined by 64% and 77% QoQ to US$16m and US$17m, respectively. The company bagged 3 clients in Europe, all in Travel and Transportation vertical.
Margins bottomed out, improvement ahead: The current quarter margin got impacted due to cross-currency movement and hedging losses. However, we expect margin of the company to delivery steady improvement in H2FY14. The contracts renewed are either at same realization or up by 4-8%. Also, Morris contract is transformed to outcome-based model.
Why still a BUY? Revenue performance of the company has bottomed out, so has margins. We believe that revenue momentum will pick-up from CY14. Moreover, we expect lower contribution from hardware revenue; outcomebased pricing to push the margin higher.
Valuation & Recommendation – Reiterate “BUY” with target price of Rs380: Positive IATA commentary, ramp-up in government projects and stability in GIS would give steady revenue growth with stable margin. It is currently trading at 6.6x FY14E earnings estimates with an EPS CAGR of 16% (FY13-15E).
