    Company Background Majesco Ltd (MJCO) is the spin-off business unit of Mastek Ltd which got listed in NSE & BSE on 19th Aug 2015. Majesco is a core software solution provider to the US Property & Casualty/General Insur-ance (P&C), and Life, Annuities & Pensions (L&A) insurance companies. MJCO provides services policy administration, claims management and billing and has a highly rated platform from leading US rating agencies like Gartner and Celent. The company recently got listed in NYSE after acquiring Cover-All technologies and Agile in the US. The combined entity has a revenue of US$ 106 mn in FY15. total 140 customers and employees ~1850 insurance professionals having a global foot print in US, Canada, UK, Malaysia, Thailand and India. The company Insurance business has growth strongly in the past three years with Insurance grew at a CAGR of ~22% and P&C clocked a CAGR of 36% in FY12-15. The company derives ~88% revenues from US market and 6% from UK. Insurance business contributes is 96% of total business

    Immense opportunity in US Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance market The US P&C insurance is a big market with Insurance IT spend for external software and services in the range of US$ 44 bn (according to Novarica 2015 report). The total premium underwritten by top US P&C insurers was in the range of ~US$ 1,259 bn. Generally insurance companies spend ~3-4% of the premium on IT up-gradation which is ~US$44 bn. Out of this ~US$9 bn can migrate to third part vendors like Majesco and Guidewire, etc. The addressable market for Majesco is primarily related to billing, policy administration & claims, which is ~US$ 6-7 bn. At present only ~10-15% of the market is penetrated and Majesco remains one of the top 3 vendors in US P&C Insurance market, thus there lies immense opportunity. In insurance business ~83% is derived from US P&C Insurance (which is highly underpenetrated) and ~13% from Life and Annuity (L&A) insurance. There is huge growth opportuni-ties in the US P&C Insurance market and we believe this segment will drive growth going forward.

    Insurance Business at an inflection point Mastek management has been aggressive in the recent past and the primary objective has been to achieve scale in its Insurance platform business. The demerger of Insurance and IT services business, listing of Majesco in NYSE, was a step towards greater focus on Insurance vertical. Further, the com-pany acquired Agile Technologies (US based USD 9 mn annual revenue run-rate, 20 clients and 50 employees consulting services company) and acquired the NYSE listed Cover-All Technologies (Sales US $20mn annually, 30 clients and 150 employees) which is focused on providing solutions to the property and casualty insurance sector. Majesco has revenues of US$106 mn in FY15 with over 140 clients. The new scale will 1) help the company to bid for larger deals, 2) cross sell existing services to Agile and Cover-All clients, 3) will be able to attract the best talent from the US market (which is very critical factor for a product company), 4) achieve scale and size, 5) will have increased visibility and 6) will be benchmarked with the best in US insurance industry. We remain very positive on the growth prospects on Majesco US and expect growth to accelerate from FY16E onwards.

    Highly rated Majesco Insurance Platform - will lead to scaling up and margins improvement Majesco has been rated by Gartner and has been among the top 3 vendors in the US P&C market. Gartner has placed Majesco platform in the leaders quadrant and it is one of the few Indian product companies to be highly rated by reputed analysts in the US and UK. Gartner, in its Market Scope re-port has rated Majesco in the promising column which shows the strength of the platform. Guidewire which is a close competitor to Majesco in the North American P&C Insurance market comes in the strong positive column. The Majesco platform has also received rating from various other reputed agencies like Celent, Novarica. Majesco is a high gross margin and low net profit margin business be-cause of high investment in R&D and Sales & Marketing. The business has huge potential for scaling up and generate strong cash flows. Majesco now commands a gross margin of 41.2% (after acquisi-tions) and invests ~14% of sales in R&D. We expect the EBITDA margin to expand ~400 bps to ~6% in FY16E.

    Management optimisticlikely to clock revenue CAGR of 23% for FY15-18E Management is optimistic about the growth prospects of the company has listed the goals for the next three years. They expect the company revenues to reach ~US$ 200-225 mn in FY18E which results in a revenue CAGR of 23% (taking the lower end) in FY15-18E. Further on the margins front the com-pany expects EBIT margin to be in higher single digit (9-10%) from current loss at EBIT level. We be-lieve there are significant margin levers available however this will depend of the top-line growth, be-cause its a non linear business model and a high gross margin business. We expect the revue to grow at a CAGR of ~20% for FY15-18E and EBIT margin to stand at ~ 6% in FY18E.

    Huge Cross selling Opportunities, recent acquisitions to trigger growth

    The company acquired Agile Technologies which is a US based USD 9 mn revenue run-rate, 20 cli-ents and 50 employees consulting services company focusing on the insurance vertical. The company also acquired the NYSE-listed Cover-All Technologies (Sales US $20mn, 30clients and 150 employ-ees) which is focused on providing solutions to the property and casualty insurance sector. We believe that Majesco will be able to integrate into Cover-All comfortably as the size of Cover-All is one fourth of Majesco and have the same domain expertise and capabilities. There is huge growth opportunities in the US P&C Insurance market and we believe there is significant cross selling opportunities present as well. We expect the company to get ~US$20mn from cross selling opportunities.

    Strong platform and acquisitions leads to strong clients additions

    The company has been strongly growing its customers in the P&C Insurance vertical in the North American market. The biggest problem faced by the company in the past was long sales cycles as insurers were hesitant to switch from their 30-year-old systems that have become core to them. Ma-jesco now has more than 140 customers( including the recently acquired Agile and Cover-All), hence it becomes easier to convince potential new customers to make the move to the new and enhanced platform. Further, increase in clients also help the company to bid for larger deals. Additionally, the re-architecture of various models in policy administration solutions enhances client acceptance level. We believe listing of Majesco in the US stock exchanges and higher scale of operation (in terms of clients and top line) will help the company to win more and big deals.

    The core nature of the Insurance business is long termSticky Revenue Model

    Insurance business is a large and vibrant marketplace that values long term partner relationships based upon software quality, performance and delivery success. Once a customer moves to Majesco platform, there is high probability that it will remain there for the next 10-15 years. The reason is that the system becomes so core to client that the data migration and workflow changes necessary for the move make it impossible for the client to do it more often. Thus the companys revenue visibility is pretty robust (75% of revenue visibility on day one of the Fiscal). We believe that Majesco robust & proven platform, solid & highly predictable business model provides revenue visibility.

    Ageing P&C Insurance platforms needs a reboot

    All leading US P&C Insurance players are running on old legacy systems, some of them are around 30 years old. The property and casualty (P&C) U.S insurance industry is primarily dependent upon in house developed or third-party mainframe systems. These systems are old and is hurting the industry due to 1) Inefficiency and inflexibility of existing P&C IT systems 2) ageing IT infrastructure 3) outdated technology 4) increased importance of new payment methods and channels and 5) unable to with-stand increased competition environment. There is immense need for these P&C insurance compa-nies to adopt to newer technologies and shift work to third part software platforms. This provides them efficiency result in cost saving, in some cases operating margin expansion is in the range if 2-3%.

    Key Concerns

    Delay in ramp up of Majesco US

    We have assumed that Majesco business is at a inflection point and going forward the company will be able to scale up revenue growth. Any delay in ramp up will be a risk to our assumptions.

    More than expected rise in product development cost

    Product development and R&D is significant part for a product company. We have assumed the R&D cost to remain at a constant level as a % of sales. Any unexpected ramp up in R&D and Sales & mar-keting expenses will dent margins going forward.
