Future Outlook remains intact despite improved outlook and INR depreciation: Outlook
remains unchanged with revenue growth (6-8% CC growth in FY19) and margin band (22-24%)
guidance despite improved outlook and the significant INR depreciation in FY19. H2FY19
seasonality and the expected lag in revenue outflow for large deals, coupled with heavy planned
investments in H2FY19 were stated to be the reason behind unchanged outlook.
BFSI (up 5.8% qoq in CC terms; 33.1% of sales) and Retail (up 5.9% qoq in CC terms;
~16% of sales) commentary improves but Infosys indicates H2FY19 seasonality:
While it re-iterated that momentum in Regional Banks, Insurance and Europe continues to
be strong, it also indicated that spends in the US and certain top accounts have started to
improve. While its outlook improved due to improved macros leading to improved spending,
it expects H2FY19 seasonality to affect BFSI growth. For platforms, it indicated that while
demand for large-scale platform implementations is limited, lot of interest is emerging in
Digital and Blockchain surrounding these platforms (Finnacle and Mc-Camish). For Retail,
it expects growth revival on the increased focus on modernization and strong deal pipeline.

EBIT margin at 23.7% remained flat on a qoq basis due to wage hikes (15% of Sr. level
employees got hikes effective Jul’18), increased variable pay and compensation to curb
high attrition, and increase in sub-contractor expenses (overall 150bps negative impact)
despite significant currency tailwinds (+80bps) and pricing improvement (+70bps). On
future margin levers, management stated that with the increase in Digital contribution
(~200bps higher gross margin business), improvement in productivity of the FP projects
and onsite pyramid rationalization, margins can remain in the guided range despite planned
investments.
Increase in sub-contractor costs: Sub-contractor expenses stood at 7.4% sales in
Q2FY19 vs. 6.7% in Q1FY19. Infosys stated that with its increasing focus on localization
and greater onsite demand for Digital work, sub-contractor expenses are expected to
remain elevated at current levels.
HR metrics: ~19,700 employees were added on a gross basis. Total headcount stood at
~218,000 (up ~4.0% qoq). The utilization rate remains stretched at 85.6%.

Valuation/PE performance
Our FY19 revenue outlook improves slightly on the back of good Q2, our earnings estimates
remain flat due to the uninspiring commentary on margin improvement. We believe that our lower
multiple for Infosys is justified (14x vs. 21x for TCS) given the growth differential of ~30% and
the expected decline (-100bps) in margins for Infosys vs. margin improvement (100-150bps) for
TCS. Maintain Sell rating, with a TP of Rs580 (based on Sep’20E EPS).
