Good quarter—India business drives growth

TCS delivered a good but in-line quarter with 3.1% sequential revenue growth to US$3.04 bn. Revenue growth was India-led with 19.4% qoq growth. The international business grew at a more modest 1.8% sequentially. EBIT margin declined 73 bps to 26.5% driven by 98 bps impact from proposal to settle class action suit in the State of California. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 25 bps qoq and down 20 bps on yoy comparison. Net income of Rs36 bn was helped by Rs1.24 bn of forex gain versus loss of Rs734 mn in 3QFY13.

Steady metrics—strong employee additions continue

Revenues involving equipment sale contributed 35% of incremental revenues for the quarter. Overall metrics were healthy—the company added 12,559 employees in the quarter. Growth was broad-based across verticals. Growth was strong across various services with the exception of consulting, asset leveraged solutions and business process outsourcing.

Performance highlights the strengths of TCS but does not indicate improvement in spending

The performance highlights the strength of execution but does not do enough to indicate a healthier spending environment. Modest growth in international business, decline in consulting revenues and weak performance/commentary of peers indicate that discretionary spending may not be as strong. The Street, on the other hand, has already assumed significant recovery in IT spending for 2013. This is captured in upgrades in estimates across the sector. Expect downgrades to start soon as reality sinks in of a not-so-good demand environment and competitive pressures.

REDUCE rating stays; stock trades at expensive valuations

We take stock of 4QFY13 performance and incorporate the Alti acquisition in our estimates, leading to 1% increase in revenue estimates, with organic revenue estimates unchanged. We cut FY2014E EPS estimate by 0.5% to Rs79.6 on account of higher tax rate. The stock trades at expensive 18.3X FY2014E earnings. TCS may be the best relative play in the sector but that does not guarantee absolute returns in a challenging growth environment with competitive pressures. We stay Cautious on TCS and Tier-1 IT.

TCS (TCS)

Technology

When good is not good enough. TCS delivered a steady quarter with 3.1% US$ revenue growth. Growth was led by the India geography that grew 19.4% qoq. TCS continues to excel with creditable performance at a time when peers are struggling. However, this may not be enough to drive absolute stock returns, especially in light of elevated expectations from TCS and challenges facing the industry. Valuations at 18X FY2014E earnings are full. We broadly maintain our estimates and REDUCE rating; TP increases marginally to Rs1,350 (from Rs1,320) on roll-over to June 2014 financials.

Management indicates recovery in discretionary spending

TCS management indicated a better outlook for CY2013 led by better clarity on spending by clients, with little delay in decision making. The management highlighted that CY2013 budgeting cycle had begun with more certainty than in CY2012, and more importantly, with greater chance of budgets translating into discretionary spends. The management is confident of (1) performing better than Nasscom’s 12-14% growth outlook for FY2014E and (2) protecting profitability at 27% even after absorbing lower-margin Alti acquisition.

FY2013 roundup—strong market share gains continue

TCS has grown 13.7% in revenues in FY2013 to US$11.57 bn, adding US$1.4 bn in absolute revenues during the year. Outperforming India-listed peers by 1-8% on materially higher revenue base is encouraging and highlights the strength of the execution engine. More heartening was strengthening of leadership in core verticals and impressive growth in new service offerings. Growth rates did slow down though to 13.7% from 24.2% in FY2012. EBIT margin declined 65 bps despite significant currency tailwind of 530 bps (Re depreciation of 13.3%). The company generated FCF of Rs97 bn in FY2013.

Other key result highlights

Growth was broad-based across verticals except transportation and telecom. BFSI led the growth with a strong 4.3% qoq increase, while manufacturing grew 3.1%. Transportation declined 2.6%.

Among geographies, North America grew 2.1% while UK declined 1% (due to currency impact). Continental Europe had a good quarter, growing 3.1%. Revenue growth was led by India, which grew 19.4% qoq.

Infrastructure services grew 6.6% qoq, while ADM and enterprise solutions grew 3.1% and 5.9%, respectively.

TCS won 11 large deals in the quarter with wins across verticals and geographies.

TCS closed the quarter with a consolidated headcount of 276,196, a net addition of 12,559 from the previous quarter.

Attrition in IT services for the quarter ended Mar 2013 was at 9.4% (down from 9.8% in 3QFY13). Quarterly annualized attrition went down to 11.2% from 11.7% in the previous quarter.

Utilization (ex-trainees) was up 30 bps qoq to 82% while utilization (including trainees) was up 5 bps qoq to 72.2%.

Good headline numbers but the devil lies in the details

HCLT reported 3.2% qoq revenue growth to US$1,191 mn, in line with our estimate. Net income of Rs10.2 bn was 8.2% ahead of our estimate and largely contributed by beat on other income. Revenue growth for the quarter was once again infra-led, which grew 8.6% qoq and 41.6% yoy. Growth in software services was muted at 1% qoq and 4.8% yoy. EBTIDA margin was stable at 22% and 30 bps ahead of our estimate. Margin performance of the company continues to surprise us. The company announced US$1 bn worth of new deal singings for the quarter.

Effort-less growth—headcount declines for the second consecutive quarter

Employee metrics of HCLT are puzzling. Overall and IT services headcount declined for the second consecutive quarter. Net employee addition was a marginal 1,752 on a yoy basis (2.4% growth). Quarterly annualized attrition rate increased to 28% from 24.8% in 2QFY13. High and sticky attrition is a surprise for a company that is performing well. What is even more surprising is that the company increased utilization rates by 190 bps to 83.8%, despite such high attrition. Peers have struggled to maintain utilization at reasonable levels during periods of high attrition.

Profitability is unsustainable with stretched core metrics

At the risk of repetition, we are surprised with HCLT’s high profitability and the near convergence with Wipro. That HCLT has lower offshore pricing (16-18% lower than Infosys and Wipro), inefficient employee pyramid captured by delay in absorption of freshers, higher subcontracting costs (at least 2X of peers) and growth that is driven by relatively lower-margin infra management business raises concerns on sustainability. We find management guidance of margins aggressive.

Maintain REDUCE rating; expect moderation in growth

Revenue growth that is single-service driven, stretched operating metrics with unsustainable profitability and sticky attrition numbers raise the risk profile of the business. Valuations at 14X FY2014E earnings are not inexpensive either. We maintain our REDUCE rating with unchanged 12-month forward target price of Rs650/share.

HCL Technologies (HCLT)

Technology

An effort-less growth. Growth without/or marginal people addition has been the hallmark of HCLT’s performance for past the few quarters. 3QFY13 was no different, with solid revenue growth of 3.2% despite people decline. HCLT’s per person revenue productivity is now 13-25% higher than other Tier-1 IT even as the reported offshore pricing is lower than peers. Profitability for the quarter was supported by unsustainable increase in utilization rates. We maintain our Cautious stance—high-risk business and unsustainable margins worry us. Maintain REDUCE with unchanged target price.

Solid signings of TCVs but require more data to appreciate the scope of incremental work

HCLT announced aggregate TCVs of deals worth US$1 bn, 90% of which is in the rebid market. While this is down from US$1.5 bn for the same quarter in the previous year, yet this is creditable, especially after similar signings in 2QFY13. While deals signed in the quarter are impressive on face value, more disclosures are required on the quality of the deals—nature of work and timeframe of execution—to help us put the numbers into context. For example, an existing relationship converted into a longer tenure contract would lead to incremental TCV; however, utility of such TCVs would be limited if there is no increase in annualized billing.

We do a theoretical exercise of the potential incremental revenues of HCLT on the basis of following assumptions—(1) average tenure of a TCV is 5 years, (2) we assume signings of US$250 mn in quarters where TCV signed does not fall above the deal value filter, (3) revenues from deals signed are realized with a one quarter lag, and (4) assume all revenues are incremental in nature. Based on these assumptions, TCVs over the past 18 months work out to US$5 bn; this amounts to annualized billing of US$1 bn. During the same period, incremental revenues added by the company stands at US$205 mn (assuming a 3% revenue growth in 4QFY13); if our assumption of average execution cycle is right, then new deals would have contributed US$250 mn of the US$205 mn incremental revenues. Exhibit 5 details our analysis.

Interesting highlights from 3QFY13 performance

Infrastructure management contributed 77.2% of incremental revenues for the quarter and 73.3% of the incremental revenues over the past 12 months. Software services growth has slowed down further to 4.8% yoy.

Software services headcount declined 1,638 qoq and 2,398 on a yoy basis. Overall headcount declined for the second consecutive quarter.

Revenue productivity at over US$56 k per employee per annum is the highest in the sector and 25% ahead of TCS.

Attrition in IT services stands at 21.1% on quarterly annualized basis, surprisingly high for a company that appears to be doing relatively well. Exhibit 6 details the sticky nature of attrition.

Onsite utilization rate was steady at 97%, intriguing on three counts—(1) HCLT has achieved it despite the highest percentage of re-badged employees (client employees taken on vendor rolls), (2) high attrition rates, and (3) no other company has achieved such a similar number. Sustainability remains a serious question mark, however.

Blended utilization rate, excluding trainees of 83.8% in IT services, is the highest in the industry. Blended utilization rate including trainees is also the highest in the sector; it is surprising that attrition rates in IT services of 21.1% on annualization of quarterly numbers is also the highest in the sector. Exhibit 6 details quarterly annualized attrition in IT services (software services + infra services) over the past few quarters.

FCF generation was strong at US$156 mn (FCF/EBITDA conversion of 58% was down from 88% in the previous quarter though).

Financial markets continue to provide strong earnings support

Yes Bank reported another quarter of strong performance with earnings growth (33% yoy) driven by balance sheet growth (35% yoy), NIM expansion (40% NII growth) and strong fee income. Treasury income contribution was high at 8% of PBT or ~10 bps of investments. Low loan impairment and favorable phase of the interest rate cycle are giving a strong foundation to focus on growth, but we remain cautious on the ability to maintain NPLs at these levels (net NPL at 0.01%). Non-interest income continues to be driven primarily by volatile financial markets (investment banking and corporate finance advisory business).

Issues persist: Earnings to see deterioration while low tier-1 ratio is a key risk; maintain REDUCE

We broadly maintain our estimates for FY2014-15E but marginally tweak our NIM assumption downward as the competitive intensity is likely to increase over the medium term in corporate loans. We expect subdued earnings growth (8% CAGR for FY2013-15E) despite moderate NIM expansion as risk of loan impairment remains high. The contribution from non-interest income could see a slowdown from financial advisory but partially offset by higher income from treasury. We do not have a positive view on loan impairment which should result in credit costs normalizing from current low levels, as stress emerging from large corporate loans remains high (management outlook for FY2014E is at ~50-60 bps as compared to our estimates of ~100-120 bps by FY2015E). We maintain our fair value of the bank (12 months forward) at `450 (unchanged) which implies 2.3X book and 12X EPS. Maintain REDUCE.

Financial advisory ~45% of PBT/non-interest income; transaction banking income subdued

Fee income continues to surprise positively on the back of strong performance from financial advisory. The contribution from financial advisory has increased to ~45% of non-interest income/PBT as compared to ~20% of fee income a few years ago. We expect a decline in contribution from this business given the lumpy nature of these transactions and a higher contribution in FY2013. Growth in transaction banking (~33% yoy) is slower than expected despite strong investments by the bank and healthy client additions in the previous few years.

YES Bank (YES)

Banks/Financial Institutions

No slowdown as yet; financial advisory contribution remains high. 4QFY13 was a strong quarter for Yes Bank with earnings (33% yoy) driven by healthy business/revenue growth. Loan impairment was negligible but management outlook appears to be a lot more cautious, in our view. The contribution of volatile financial advisory income remains high (~45% of PBT/non-interest income)—a key disappointment. Quality of earnings is likely to deteriorate with higher reliance on treasury income while low tier-1 ratio remains a key risk in light of possible normalization of credit costs. Maintain REDUCE.

Shift in business driving subdued NIM performance; difference between SA and average cost of funds declining gradually

NIM for the quarter was stable at 3% even though funding costs continue to ease. Lending yields increased by ~10 bps, yet the improvement was not visible as a larger share of underwriting was made in the investment portfolio. Our calculations indicate that investment yields could have declined ~30 bps qoq.

Traction on liability profile continued with overall CASA ratio at 19% of deposits (60 bps improvement qoq and ~400 bps yoy). However, we do note that the slowdown in the improvement has been led primarily by a higher share of term deposit growth as compared to earlier quarters. Overall CASA deposits grew by a healthy pace at ~70% yoy.

Cost of funds is currently at 8.3% and the short-term maturity of the bank’s liability profile could result in faster decline of interest rates. However, the bank is likely to pass a higher share of this benefit to its corporate book which is sensitive to interest rates or focus on loan growth. On the other hand, internal targets to improve the liability profile would result in Yes Bank keeping its savings rate at 7% in the medium term as it focuses on building its low-cost deposit business. This could emerge as the floor to deposits rates. Given this backdrop, we do not see a material improvement in NIM from these levels. Further, any possible deterioration could impact its NIM profile as the bank has a high share of corporate loans.

Loan growth strong at 24% yoy; credit substitutes pick up at ~65% yoy

Loans (including loan substitutes) continue to grow ahead of industry average at 31% yoy, led by healthy growth in loans (24% yoy) and substitutes (64% yoy). The slowdown in credit substitutes has again picked up after a muted performance in previous few quarters.

Large corporate exposure is ~65% of loans while mid-corporate exposure is ~17% of loans. Retail loans (18% of loans, including SME) increased primarily from priority lending exposure. Investments in retail banking continue but meaningful contribution is likely to emerge only over the next few years.

We expect overall loan growth at 20% CAGR for FY2013-15E. The bank could see a shortfall in meeting its internal targets on loan growth for FY2015E as it would need to double the balance sheet from current levels.

Other highlights for the quarter

Overall gross NPL ratio stands at 0.2% of loans while net NPL ratio was negligible at 0.01%. Net slippages (adjusted for one large corporate account) were negligible for the quarter. Given the low NPLs, the bank has started to make counter-cyclical provisions. The bank believes that the stress in the underlying portfolio continues to be manageable and it should be able to maintain credit costs at ~60 bps. We, however, take a much more cautious outlook on these loans, and factor credit costs rising to ~100-120 bps by FY2015E.

Cost-income ratio was comfortable at 38% as compared to 37% in December 2012. Staff expenses increased by ~30% yoy. The bank has been investing on its branch network aggressively with overall presence through 430 branches and 950 ATMs.

Tier-1 ratio is currently at 9.5% with overall CAR at 18%. Core tier-1 ratio could be lower by ~100 bps given the previous few quarter trends. The bank has taken an approval from the board to raise US$500 mn but there has been no progress on the capital-raising exercise from the previous few resolutions.

Key clauses impacting Indian IT names in the proposed US immigration bill

Several unauthenticated media reports indicate a few high-impact clauses in the proposed comprehensive US immigration bill, 2013. We highlight four key ones below and discuss the implications later in the note—

50-50 rule. The bill proposes to limit the eventual proportion of work-permit (H-1B and L-1 visa) holders to 50% of a firm’s US-based workforce. This rule will be implemented in phases by restricting firms to apply for visas till they are under the threshold—media reports indicate the threshold to be 75% for 2014, 65% for 2015 and 50% for 2016 and beyond. This essentially means that a firm with more than 75% of its workforce comprising H-1B/L-1 visas cannot apply for an H-1B/L-1 visa (fresh or renewal, in our view) in 2014. Restriction gets tightened to 65% in 2015 and 50% in 2016 and beyond. This restriction would mean a natural move towards the target 50-50 ratio as firms would need to hire locals for fresh requirements as well as expiring work permits.

Sharp increase in visa processing fees. H-1B dependent employers (firms with more than 15% of workforce on H-1B visas) currently pay around US$2,500 (excluding attorney fees) for normal H-1B processing and an additional US$1,225 for premium processing. The bill proposes an additional US$5,000/visa fees for firms with 30-50% of their resources on H-1B/L-1 visas and an additional US$10,000/visa fees for firms with >50% of their employees on such visas.

Higher minimum wage requirement. The bill also mandates H-1B employers to pay higher wages to foreign workers. Quantum is unknown, but the intent is to ”prevent H-1B workers from undercutting the wages paid to American workers by requiring employers to pay significantly higher wages for H-1B workers than under current law,” according to the Senate outline. We note that the current minimum wage requirement for an H-1B/L-1 visa resource is meaningfully lower than the prevailing local wages.

Creation of an H-1B job database and mandated job postings before hiring an H-1B resource. One of the provisions in the bill mandates firms to post detailed job openings on the Department of Labor (DOL) website for at least 30 days before hiring an H-1B to fill that position. We note that such a requirement exists even today but there is no central database for posting openings; companies can post openings on their website to comply.

There are a couple of positives in the bill as well—(1) increase in H-1B visa cap from the current 65,000 to 110,000 with a potential to reach 180,000 based on a formula; we note, however, that the aforementioned 50-50 rule makes this increase meaningless for the Indian IT companies, most of whom would take at least a few years to comply with the 50-50 stipulation, and (2) an effective 3X increase in the annual cap on green cards (permanent residency) given to foreign employees of US-based companies; even as the annual cap is proposed to stay at 140,000, the bill proposes a few exemptions that could mean an increase in the effective cap.

Technology India

Proposed US immigration bill—outcome uncertain, but impact very high. Some of the proposals in the US Senate’s comprehensive immigration bill, if accepted, could have a material impact on the Indian IT companies’ cost of doing business in the US, the largest market for the industry. Key proposals include imposition of a 50-50 rule (at least 50% of workforce in the US to be locals), sharp increase in visa processing fees, and potentially higher minimum wages for H-1B visa workers.

Implications—negative, by and large

50-50 rule. Arguably the worst of the proposals, from the perspective of the Indian IT companies. We believe nearly all Indian IT companies have between 80% and 95% of their US workforce (excluding sub-contractors) on H-1B and L-1 visas. Imposition of the 50-50 rule could mean some serious transition pain for companies for a few years. The pain could be on multiple dimensions—

Increase in per capita cost as local resources typically come in at higher cost than visa resources; the difference between an L-1 visa resource CTC and local hire is especially stark; Difficult to quantify the impact but we take a stab at it (see Exhibit 1)—our rough estimates suggest a cumulative 185 bps margin hit over 5 years for Infosys; impact on other companies would likely be higher given that Infosys has, in our view, the highest proportion of local resources in its US workforce.

Lower onsite utilization. The Indian companies currently run an onsite utilization rate of 90-95%; they send people back to India and maintain a thin bench onsite. With more locals in the onsite workforce, this flexibility would be gone. A 1% drop in onsite utilization impacts margins by 30-40 bps for the Tier-1 companies. So a 5% drop in onsite utilization (worst case, in our view) will have a 150-200 bps margin EPS impact—this would of course be spread over the time period available to make the adjustment.

In the worst case, losing out on demand given increased fulfillment challenges. This aspect is difficult to quantify, in terms of impact.

Sharp jump in local hiring by Indian IT companies could have a material impact on wage inflation for IT resources in the US. IT remains a low unemployment sector in the US; the country does not produce enough engineers as noted in one of our recent pieces, ‘How many engineers are required to change a light bulb’, published on April 10, 2013. This aspect is again very difficult to quantify.

Increase in visa processing fees. Most likely of the various proposals to be passed in our view. Most Indian companies would need to pay additional US$10,000/visa fees—this could mean an additional margin hit of 50-100 bps for different companies; however, this may not matter if the 50-50 rule is imposed—companies may not be able to apply for visas at all for a few years. We also note that the media articles suggest that these additional fees would be imposed on both H-1B and L-1 visas; the current H-1B/L-1 visa usage mix does not matter, hence.

Higher minimum wage requirement. Difficult to quantify, given that (1) we do not know what the proposal on minimum wages is, and (2) impact would be massively different across companies; current per capita wage onsite differs meaningfully across the Indian IT companies—ones at the lower end of the spectrum would get hit more.

Creation of an H-1B job database and mandated job postings before hiring an H-1B resource. More of an administrative hassle, in our view and again, meaningless, if the 50-50 rule gets imposed.

Bottom line—the proposed immigration bill is likely to be a material negative for the Indian IT companies, should it come to pass. Even as we do not see a material impact on the Indian IT companies’ ability to fulfill demand, the cost of doing so is sure to rise meaningfully. As discussed above, we compute a 300-400 bps impact on margins spread over 4-5 years or 80-100 bps per annum. A 1.5-2% pricing improvement per annum can take care of this, but we would be wary of making a ‘impact mitigation’ assumption on account of (1) environment not being conducive for price increases, and (2) global IT majors not getting impacted. We remain Cautious on the sector.
