Analyst Meet Update on Tech Mahindra

Stock Market Update on Tech Mahindra

Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam hosted their annual analyst meet on Friday, June 24, 2011. The essence of the meet was skewed towards how management has improved margins for Satyam from 3% to 13% in two years and how the companies, in a merged scenario, would synergise and are strongly positioned to compete with tier-I Indian IT companies. Along with this, the management and the heads of various SBUs such as telecom, BFSI, manufacturing, enterprise business solution and BPO spoke about the trends and opportunities they foresee.

Mahindra Satyam

In case of Mahindra Satyam, management sounded confident about growth and indicated it to be in line with the industry (NASSCOM estimates for industry growth in FY2012 are at 16–18% yoy). On the margin front as well, management indicated that it will be in line with the industry’s range, i.e., 18–29% within one to two years. The key margin levers for this are 1) strong volume growth, 2) employee pyramid resizing (current fresher ratio, i.e., 0–3 year experienced employees, is at ~23%) and 3) better price realisation majorly by improving the business mix. Management also indicated that it is open to inorganic growth and is looking at potential companies in the BPO and BFSI space.

Tech Mahindra

In case of Tech Mahindra, the company is witnessing a pick-up in the deal pipeline in the telecom vertical on the back of emerging opportunities for work related to the external business of telecom service providers (TSPs), i.e., related to end-consumers. This commentary was kind of contrary to tier-I IT companies because of the fact that these companies are still focused on services related to the internal usage of TSPs, which is kind of sluggish now; whereas, Tech Mahindra is chasing the external part of TSPs, which is upbeat right now.

Merger on the cards but only in FY2013

On the merger of Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam, management indicated that it is in the process of translating its financial records in US GAAP and once it is done it will initiate the process of the merger; the end-to-end merger can latest be around May 2012 or may be later depending on approvals from SEC.
