Key Takeaways
In-line quarterly guidance range...
Wipro’s Q3FY15 $-revenue guidance of 2.1% to 4.0% Q/Q (to $1,808-1,842 mn) in
IT services remains in-line with our estimate range (of 2.5-4.0%). We like the
consistent uptake in $-revenue guidance (See Chart Below). However, 190 bps (v/s
190 bps in Q2FY14) gap between the guidance range signals no major improvement
in revenue visibility on year-over-year basis (See Chart Below). Even though
management sounded positive on future deal pipeline and expect significant
improvement in guidance number going-ahead on back of strong deal funnel. The
key reason of wide range in $-revenue guidance was uncertainty over uptake in
discretionary budget. The management expects positive momentum in Healthcare,
Retail, Insurance, and High-tech along with revival in application space. In our view,
Wipro is on right track and likely to meet industry leading growth over-medium-tolong-term. During the quarter, the company’s net headcount increased by 6,835
employees (v/s 1,399 employees in Q1FY15), led to total employee base of 1,54,287
(v/s 1,47,452 in Q1FY15).

bag. On sequential basis, Technology Infrastructure Services (+7.8% Q/Q), Analytics
(+3.6% Q/Q), Application (+3.2% Q/Q) delivered above company average revenue
growth. This was partially offset by de-growth in BPO (down 3.4%) and ADM (down
7.3%) on sequential basis. During the quarter, U.S. demonstrated +4.3% Q/Q growth
followed by India (+2.9% Q/Q), and Other Emerging Markets (+6.6% Q/Q), partially
offset by 4.4% Q/Q decline in Europe. The growth in Technology (+1.8% Q/Q), Manuf
& Health (+1.8% Q/Q) remained positive during the quarter. The acquisition of SAIC
started yielding result, delivered 6.9% Q/Q growth in Energy & Utility segment.

accounts grew by 0.4% Q/Q in Q2FY15. Additionally, its Non-Top10 accounts

Outlook
Wipro’s management sounded positive on overall revenue outlook and expects
FY15 to be the better year than FY14. However, the same optimism has not been
reflected in Q3FY15 $- revenue guidance. The management expects revival in
discretionary budget, which could lead to in-line average industry performance
going-ahead. We maintain our FY15E/FY16E $-revenue growth estimates 9.8%/
12.6% with realization (INR/USD) assumption of 61/61 for FY15E/FY16E.
Valuations
At CMP of Rs.581, the stock is trading at P/E multiple of 18.4x FY15E and 16.8x
FY16E earnings estimate. Third quarter FY15 $-revenue guidance is in-line with our
estimate, but wide range bring bit of uncertainty on overall revenue outlook. Wipro’s
re-organization to reduce overlaps, improve deals flow, and deploy automation
initiatives delivered marginal improvement on revenue growth and EBITDA
expansion front. The uptake in discretionary budget and revival in global economy
could lead to outperformance going-ahead. We maintain HOLD with target price of
Rs.611 [valuing at 16.5x FY16e] on Wipro.
