Blackstone to acquire HP’s stake ~USD200m annual revenue visibility from HPE welcome Blackstone acquires HPE stake, triggering open offer for 26% minority
shares Blackstone India has entered into a definitive agreement with HPE (HP
Enterprise) to buy a majority stake in Mphasis. HPE currently owns 60.5% of Mphasis. Blackstone will pay a purchase price of INR430 per share to HPE.
This will trigger a mandatory open offer for a purchase of additional 26% shares of the company (open offer @INR457.54/share) and the acquiring entity has released a public announcement to the stock exchanges. Based on the open offer subscription, the purchase price consideration will vary between INR54.66b and INR70.71b (or, approximately USD825m - USD1.1b).
HPE and Blackstone have agreed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) which HPE proposes to sign with Mphasis, post approval by Mphasis’ Board of Directors and shareholders. The duration of the MSA is five years with three automatic renewals of two years each. Under this MSA, HPE has proposed to commit a minimum revenue amount escalating year over year and totaling USD990m over the next five years
Two clear positives – Visibility of HP revenues and new logos in Direct business The MSA with minimum revenues totaling USD990m over 5 years lends
visibility to revenues from the HP Channel for MPHL, which is positive, and also implies bottoming out of revenues from HP business near current levels. Mphasis will be included in HPE’s Preferred Provider Program opening up significant additional revenue opportunities.
Secondly, Blackstone cited the synergy of exposing its portfolio as potential clientele for MPHL, implying some leads for the Direct channel business as well. MPHL could leverage these specially to create more credible references in its focus areas of Digital and GRC. Blackstone India has entered into a definitive agreement with HPE (HP Enterprise) to buy a majority stake in Mphasis. HPE currently owns 60.5% of Mphasis. Blackstone will pay a purchase price of INR430 per share to HPE.
One multiple accretive possibility – could the dividend be upped given the
base on books? Net cash on MPHL’s books stands at INR112 at present, 24.5% of CMP. This is
one obvious avenue of efficiency for Blackstone, to improve the capital allocation, return ratios and consequently valuation multiple. We saw this with HEXW too, where healthy payout ratios have meant a premium multiple to even some of the better performing peers.

MPHL trades at ~10x operational income – and the scope of expansion in which is healthy given three-pronged possibility of: [1] Improved HP Channel revenues, [2] New logos in Direct Channel and [3] Improved Payout ratios.
The overhangs: Pricing uncertainty and prevailing Digital ‘Risk’ Apart from the value of USD990m over 5 years, any other details concerning the
modalities of the deal remain unknown. Whether there is a risk to pricing and profitability as a result over the foreseeable future remains to be seen.
Also, key prevailing concern at MPHL has been the revenues from Digital Risk. Currently at a run rate of USD40m per quarter, this could decline to ~USD30-35m after completion of a couple of projects, and revival will be subject to deal wins. We are currently modeling USD160m in FY18 from Digital Risk, while it may taper to USD130-140m annualized run-rate in the near term.
Change in estimates: Factoring HPE business visibility With immediate effect, we have revised our estimates to factor ~USD200m
revenues from HPE in FY18 v/s USD175m earlier. We were already estimating USD196m from HPE in FY17, which sees no significant change.
Consequently, our earnings estimate is up 2% for FY18 to INR40.7, and unchanged at INR37 for FY17.

Digital Risk Rev. (USD m)
Mphasis
4 April 2016 3
Valuation and view Our FY17 revenue estimate stands at USD948m compares with FY13 (YE
October) annual revenues of USD1,025m. Revenues from the HP channel have posted a decline in 18 of the last 20 quarters and now constitutes to ~24% of total revenues. The contribution of the HP channel has significantly reduced in the portfolio, but finally there has been some reprieve in the form of an MSA with ~USD1b revenue visibility over 5 years.
With strong deal wins in the Direct channel, and the hive-off of the domestic BPO business, we estimate MPHL to stem the decline in revenues and post growth at a CAGR of 7.2% over FY16-18E. Revenue growth confidence would be the single most important factor for a re-rating. However, with uneven growth seen in Digital Risk since its acquisition, consistency yet seems to be lacking. While valuations at 12.4x/11.1x FY17E/18E are much discounted to peers (particularly after factoring the Cash Balance), the rate of decline within HP channel remains a risk.
Although it has guided for EBIT margin of 13-15% for now, the modalities of the MSA with HPE remain unknown, posing potential risk to the margins. While sustained momentum in the Direct channel business is a plus, any pricing implications of the MSA with HPE will wipe out the visibility in the channel for the company.
Impressive execution in Direct International business lends visibility of above-industry growth in 2/3rd of MPHL’s business. Our current target price of INR540 discounts forward operating PAT by 11x, added to expected net cash of INR120/share (compared to current cash of INR112/share). While Blackstone’s buyout of HPE stake looks positive on the balance, we will revisit our Neutral rating following clarity on the deal with HP and / or any visibility in the Digital Risk business.
Key Triggers Momentum gain in Direct International channel Pick up in quarterly deals TCV
Key risks Continued volatility in Direct Channel emerging markets Failure to grow Direct International channel faster than industry growth Volatility in Digital Risk
