Hexaware Posts Over 1% Rise In Q2 Profit

New Delhi: IT services firm Hexaware Technologies saw its consolidated net profit for the June 2016 quarter rise 1.1 per cent to Rs 100 crore. The company's net profit stood at Rs 98.9 crore in the corresponding period a year ago. Its revenues increased 12.6 per cent to Rs 869.7 crore in the reported quarter from Rs 772.2 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal year. "The growth has come as a result of the journey of change that we embarked on a few quarters back. We saw a strong total contract value (TCV) booking of USD 20 million from new customers this quarter and we believe, we will have a robust H2," Hexaware Technologies CEO and executive director R Srikrishna told PTI. The execution of this strategy is still in early days, but the results are encouraging, he added. Europe led the geographic growth at 10.8 per cent in the said quarter, while manufacturing and consumer (M&C) led with a quarter-on-quarter growth of 8.8 per cent among verticals. Banking and Financial Services (BFS) showed a healthy growth of 16.3 per cent year-on-year. BFS accounted for 40 per cent of the quarter's revenue, followed by manufacturing, consumer and others at 28.4 per cent, healthcare and insurance at 17.1 per cent and travel and transportation at 14.5 per cent. Business process services (BPS) and infrastructure management services (IMS) delivered strong year-on-year growth of 33.7 per cent and 24.1 per cent, respectively. On impact of the UK leaving the European Union, Mr Srikrishna said the initial impact will be in currency. "Pound is just 5 per cent of our revenues and so, we don't see much impact," he added. Americas contributed 80.9 per cent of the revenues, while Europe and Asia Pacific accounted for 12.5 per cent and 6.6 per cent, respectively. At the end of June 2016, the company's headcount stood at 11,875 with an addition of 276 people during the three-month period. The attrition rate stood at 16.6 per cent.
