3QFY17 marginally ahead of estimates TCS’ 3QFY17 constant currency (CC) revenue growth was 2% QoQ, a tad above

our expectation of 1.5% QoQ CC. Revenue growth was constituted of 1% QoQ volume growth, implying CC

realization improvement of 1%. Adverse cross currency movements impactedrevenues by 170bp, taking reported USD revenue growth down to 0.3% QoQ, atUSD4,387m.

YoY CC revenue growth during the quarter was 8.6% compared to 6.8% in theprevious quarter.

Strength in Digital bounced back up after seeing some weakness in 2QFY17.Revenue from Digital grew by 4.7% QoQ, and it now constitutes to 16.8% oftotal revenue. This compares with contribution of 16.1% in 2QFY17 and 13.7% in3QFY16.

Segmental Color – Strong growth in some clouded by volatility in others On a YoY CC basis, both UK (+4.9%) and Asia Pacific (+3.9%) have been soft. The

rest, excluding North America (+8.7%) have all grown in double digits.Sequentially, North America grew 2.2% QoQ CC, UK grew 1.7% QoQ CC andContinental Europe declined in CC terms QoQ by 1.1%. Double-digit sequentialgrowth was seen in Latin America (+12.5%) and India (+10.3%) sequentially.

Among verticals, Communication & Media declined by 4.9% QoQ CC and LifeSciences & Healthcare by 0.8% QoQ CC. However, these were because of one-offs and aren’t expect to drag going forward. BFSI (40.4% of total revenue) grewby 2.1% QoQ CC. Energy & Utilities saw a strong rebound, growing by 5.8% QoQCC.

Among Services, Products business grew by 21% QoQ CC after seeing a declineof 20% QoQ CC in 2Q. IMS picked up pace again growing by 9.5% QoQ CC.Growth in ADM continued to be soft at -1.3% QoQ CC. Enterprise Solutions &Consulting was flat during the quarter.

Flat margins, partly aided by one-time in the previous quarter EBIT margin was flat at 26%, marginally ahead of our estimate of 25.5% (-50bp

QoQ). In the previous quarter, costs included USD26m paid to settle the OrangeCounty lawsuit, the absence of which in 3Q resulted in a tailwind of ~60bp.

In cost of services, Equipment & Software costs increased 150bp QoQ despitewhich margins remained flat. The cost was accompanied by a proportionincrease in revenue that got reflected in the growth seen in India, InfrastructureServices and Asset Leveraged Solutions.

PAT was INR67.8b, +2.9% QoQ, compared to our estimate of INR62.5b (declineof 5.1% QoQ) primarily because of slight operational beat and higher OtherIncome.

Leadership changes – Rajesh Gopinathan takes over as CEO, NGS as COO Rajesh Gopinathan has been appointed as CEO and MD. He would take over

from N Chandrasekaran, who has been appointed as Chairman of Tata Sonseffective February 21, 2017.

Rajesh has been the CFO of TCS since February 2013, prior to which he was theVice President – Business Finance, where he was responsible for financialmanagement of the company’s individual operating units.

N Ganapathy Subramaniam (NGS) has been appointed the as the President andChief Operating Officer. He currently is the President of TCS Financial Solutions,and has been part of TCS and the industry for the past 34 years. He has played aglobal role, especially in the Banking and Financial Services sector.

Cash generation strong Cash generation for TCS improved significantly as it generated INR79.6b in cash

from operations, clocking an OCF margin of 26.8%. This has been a sharpimprovement from 21.5% in 3QFY16.

This was led by improvement in DSO of 3 days to 74 in 3QFY17, compared to 77at the end of FY16. Including unbilled revenue, DSO stood at 88 in 3QFY17,compared to 90 at the end of FY16.

Free cash flow at INR75.5b clocking at 111% of net profit. This compares withFCF/net profit of 89% in 3QFY16.

Takeaways from Management commentary One-offs in Communication and Healthcare: Revenue declined sequentially in

the verticals of Communication and Healthcare. In Communication, weaknesswas seen in UK, Europe and Asia Pacific; while in Healthcare the US sloweddown. However, both these factors are one-off, and aren’t expect to continuefollowing the same trend going forward.

Focused on reducing visa dependency: In light of recent regulatorydevelopments, TCS highlighted that it has been a key partner to its clients, whohave been facing business model challenges. It has been ramping up localrecruitment efforts, partnering with universities, and running STEP programmes.TCS has been amongst the top net job creators in the US. It has been continuallyreducing dependency on visas; evident from the fact that it applied for a third ofthe visas this year, compared to the previous year.

Wages up to the mark: Onsite wages at TCV have been benchmarked againsttheir prevailing locations, and adjusted for age and experience. There is a highconvergence of salaries between locals and those in the US on visas. Typically,locals have been hired in senior capacities, while technical gaps have been filledby supply of resources from outside the US.

Buoyancy in BFSI: BFSI, over the last 5-6 years has been focused on cost take-out, regulatory compliance and automation. However, they are now looking atgrowth, and investments in technology. The pipeline, and TCS’ positioning havebeen leading to a buoyant outlook in the vertical.

Margin band maintained: TCS maintained its targeted EBIT margin band of 26-28%. It has been approaching the market in a well-balanced manner to achieveboth growth and profitability. Despite some known and some unknown costpressures, the intent is to maintain profitability in the target band. While somecost pressures can be addressed, the true impact on costs and profitability fromregulatory changes will only be known once details around the legislation aremade know.

Cutting revenue estimates 1.3-2.2% With growth largely in line with estimates in 3QFY17, we haven’t tempered

much with our FY17 growth estimates. However, we have adjusted that forFY18E lower to factor for cross-currency impact.

Our EBIT margin estimates are up slightly (20-25bp) factoring strong executiondemonstrated over the last couple of quarters, coupled with positivecommentary around the intent to maintain the band despite pressures.

Consequently, our earnings estimates are mostly unchanged, with revenuemoderation offsetting the slight margin uptick.

Valuation and view Over FY11-15, TCS had led the incremental revenues as well as operating profits

not just domestically, but also in the global arena (compared to peers multipletimes its size). However, weak areas like Diligenta, Japan and India / LatinAmerica saw the company cede its growth leadership to peers such as CTSH andINFO last year.

During the period of outperformance, TCS’ traction has been impressivelybroad-based, unlike select pockets of stress across its peer group. However,over the past 12 months, some factors that have led relative softness inperformance v/s the company’s expectations have had secular elements(Energy, Telecom and Insurance in FY16, followed by BFSI and Retail this year),as well as company-specific headwinds (India, Japan and Diligenta in particular).

Geographically, although the company sees some stability in Latin America and India, while Japan may still take a while before delivering sustained growth.

The growth outperformance to industry peers has waned, but it is well investedbuilding Digital capabilities to recoup that advantage. We expect acceleration inrevenue growth from current ~7% YoY CC to ~10% in FY18, led by continuedhigh growth on the increasing Digital base and eventual ramp ups that have hitFY17 momentum.

Uncertain macro limits confidence to proceed with project based IT spendingthat is discretionary in nature, especially in verticals like BFSI and Retail. TCS’exposure to both BFSI and UK is slightly higher than peers, implying thatperformance in near term may not see any sharp revival. Commentary by themanagement and outlook going forward however has been positive led byoptimism around BFSI and opportunity in traditional business fromconsolidation.

For the industry in last couple of years, changes at the very top have beenunderstandably been accompanied with a round of flux (at INFO, WPRO, MTCL),and one cannot rule out the uncertainty from a potentially similar shakeout atTCS. We tread cautiously as a result of this uncertainty and ascribe a targetmultiple of 16x (v/s 17x earlier). Our growth expectations for Revenue / EarningsCAGR over FY16-19E stand at 8.3 / 8.8%. Our target price of INR2,550 discountsFY19 EPS by 16x, and implies 9% upside. Maintain Neutral.

Key triggers Sustained pickup in BFSI | Retail Digital-led resurgence in growth leadership Further recovery in margins in the near term

Key risk factors Further deceleration in YoY CC growth from turbulent macro Rapid appreciation in INR Intensification of pricing pressure
