Solid revenue growth, Margin disappoints
Led by solid revenue growth in Q3FY19, we raise Infosys USD revenue growth
assumptions to 7.8/9.3/9.2% for FY19/FY20/21E (vs 7.5/9.2/9.2% modeled
earlier). Infosys would need to deliver 1.9% QoQ in cc in Q4FY19 to achieve
9% cc growth guidance for FY19 which is favorably doable seeing the growth
momentum. Our USD/INR assumptions stand at 70/70.5/72 for
FY19/FY20/FY21E. Owing to tepid margin execution in Q3FY19 we model EBIT
margins at 23.4/24.1/24.4% for FY19/FY20/21E (vs 24.3% in FY18). Hence,
despite INR depreciation in FY19 (vs FY18), Infosys is likely to report modest
YoY drop in EBIT margin. We maintain our EPS for FY19E at Rs37.5. Buyback
announcement and USD revenue upgrade are negated by EBIT margin
downgrade and hence we marginally upgrade our EPS estimates by 1.7/1.9%
for FY20/FY21E to Rs43/47. We believe Infosys valuations are reasonable
considering the improving growth trajectory. Hence we raise our TP by 2.5%
to Rs810 (18x Sep20E EPS). Retain Buy.
Strong Revenue beat: Infosys 3QFY19 results were a mixed bag. Revenues at
USD2987mn were up 2.3% QoQ and above our estimates (Ple: USD2965mn).
Constant currency growth for the quarter stood at 2.7% which is above our
estimates (Ple: 2.0% cc growth). This is in comparison with TCS which delivered
1.8% QoQ constant currency growth for the quarter. Hence, Infosys has
outperformed TCS on the revenue growth front in 3QFY19. Adjusted EBIT margin
came at 23.0% QoQ and below our estimates (PLe: 24.0%). Headwind from lower
Utilization and Higher onsite mix (-80bps), Increase in Compensation (-30bps),
Sales investments (-30bps) and Acquisitions (-20bps) were partially negated by INR
depreciation (+50bps) and Lower lease cost & other expenses (+40bps). Margins
were also impacted (-40 bps) with one off during quarter led by additional
depreciation of Panaya and Skava. Adjusted PAT came at Rs40.70bn down 1%
QoQ/21% YoY (Ple: Rs42.9bn).
Panaya and Skava sale proposition revoked: Infosys declassified Panaya and
skava from assets held for sale being unable to find potential buyers and thus
guided to refocus Skava’s business and reorienting panaya suits of products. This
revocation resulted into declassification from assets held for sale led to additional
depreciation of USD12mn for ninth months impacting margins and adjustment in
respect of excess of carrying recoverable amount of Rs4510mn in PAT.
Guidance Revised: Infosys has revised constant currency revenue growth
guidance of 8.5%-9% for FY19E. However, retained EBIT margin guidance of 22-
24% for FY19. Management cited necessity for continued investments in 4QFY19.
Implemented Capital allocation Strategy: Company announced buyback of
Rs82.6bn at a price of Rs800 which is 17% to CMP. At Rs800/share Infosys would
be able to buy ~2.4% of Equity (104mn shares out of 4,352 mn shares outstanding.
Company also announced special dividend of Rs4/share which will led to additional
payout of Rs21.1bn and thus company complete the capital allocation strategy for
FY19.
