levers for margin expansion apart from pricing, utilisation improvement,
more offshoring, etc.  Macro concerns pushing
revenue recovery
 Expect revenue growth at CAGR of 7.8% over FY22-24E

QoQ while Africa region (11% of mix) rebounded & reported a strong growth
of 4.6%. Europe region (18.1% of the mix) declined 3.1% QoQ. The
company indicated that growth in the US was led by BFSI verticals while
Africa growth was led by new deals in BFSI, Cloud & Advanced engineering

 Vertical wise, in CC terms, banking, insurance, emerging & manufacturing

posted revenue growth of 10.6%, 5.6%, 5.1% & 3.3% QoQ, respectively,
while hi-tech & consumer services were laggard with growth of -0.8% & -
0.4%, respectively. The company indicated that the macroeconomic factors
impacted the revenue growth of hi-tech & consumer services verticals

 EBITDA margins for the quarter declined ~290 bps QoQ to 11.3%. The
company indicated that the margins declined due to the following factors:

i) Cost of Delivery: the company indicated that increased cost of

delivery impacted margins by ~250 bps. The company mentioned
that increased cost of delivery was due higher than attrition it is
witnessing both in offshore and onsite (that also reflects in higher
sub-contractor cost, which was up 12.5% QoQ and now forms
16.5% of revenues

ii) Lower utilisation: The company did hire 1300 freshers in FY23 and
hence utilisation was dropped impacting margins by ~100 bps

iii) Forex: The company indicated that due to currency depreciation

the margins of the company was impacted by 100 bps

 Zensar indicated that the demand scenario is expected to remain

challenging for the next three to four quarters, especially in hi-tech,
manufacturing and retail sectors (59% of mix) due to macro challenges
impacting this sectors. The company indicated that in these sectors clients
have reduced spending, in some cases in fact, clients have stopped tech
spends and also deferred some cases. They are not witnessing challenges
in other verticals as of now

 The company indicated that it has earlier guided for mid teen EBITDA
margins in Q4FY23 but is now pushing that margin target by two to three
quarters to Q3FY24. Zensar has rolled out annual wage hike effective from
July 2022 and expects similar margin impact, which was visible last year.
The company, however, mentioned that due to supply side challenges, the
hike given this year (i.e. July 2022) is much higher than last year

 The company indicated it is working on following margin levers, going

forward

i) Attrition: The company expects that due to record wage hikes and
time to time wage corrections, attrition will stabilise in few quarters

ii) Fresher hiring & utilisation: The company indicated that it had
started its fresher hiring program in FY22 and will continue the
same in FY23. Zensar hired ~1,300 freshers in FY22 & ~400
freshers in Q1FY23. The company indicated that they were late
entrant as far as fresher hiring program is concerned vs its peers.
Hence, top tier college graduates were not available when they
started with fresher hiring programs

iii) Sub-contractor cost: The company expects moderation in

subcontractor costs in a few quarters when it would replace them
with its own employees

iv) Price revision: The company indicated that it is in continuous

discussions with its clients for price hike due to elevated employee
