In the third quarter of FY24-25, Tech Mahindra reported revenues of ₹13,286 crore, marking a 1.4% increase compared to ₹13,101 crore in the same period the previous year. Despite this growth, the revenue fell slightly short of analysts' expectations, which had anticipated ₹13,353 crore. The net profit for the quarter surged by 92.63% to ₹983 crore, up from ₹510 crore in the corresponding period last year. This substantial increase in net profit is attributed to improved operational efficiencies and a higher rate of deal wins.
Segment Highlights:
Telecom: This segment, contributing approximately one-third of the total revenue, experienced a 5.6% decline due to reduced client spending.
Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI): Demonstrated robust performance with an 8.3% revenue increase, indicating resilience and growth potential.
Manufacturing: Led sectoral growth, followed by BFSI, showcasing the company's diversified portfolio.
Analysts had projected a 1.5% YoY revenue growth to ₹13,293 crore and a net profit of ₹1,036 crore. While the company met revenue expectations, net profit fell short of the anticipated figures.
CEO and Managing Director Mohit Joshi stated, "We see an improved rate of deal wins in our key verticals and prioritized markets. This, coupled with consistent expansion in operating margins, despite cross-currency headwinds during the quarter, reaffirms that we are on track to achieve our long-term goals."
CFO Rohit Anand added, "We delivered growth in EBIT margin and operating PAT, both on a sequential and year-on-year basis, resulting from our targeted actions under Project Fortius, along with a steady increase in new deal wins across prioritized verticals and markets."

In summary, Tech Mahindra's Q3 FY24-25 results showcase significant improvements in profitability and operational efficiency, despite challenges in key segments like telecom.

Tech Mahindra is set to announce its Q3 FY24-25 results on January 17, 2025. Analysts anticipate modest revenue growth and a significant year-over-year increase in net profit, driven by improved margins.
Revenue Growth: Expected to rise between 0.7% and 2.6% year-over-year, reaching approximately ₹13,200 crore to ₹13,436 crore.
Net Profit: Projected to increase by 42% to 102% year-over-year, estimated between ₹976 crore and ₹1,040 crore.
EBIT Margin: Anticipated to expand by 270 to 440 basis points year-over-year, reaching around 9.7% to 9.9%.
The expected modest revenue growth is attributed to seasonal factors and furloughs, particularly affecting the manufacturing segment. However, positive seasonality in the Comviva business is likely to offset some of these challenges.
Segment Highlights:
Telecom Vertical: Stabilization observed, though recovery may take time.
Enterprise Segment: Expected to show steady performance, with particular attention to the banking and financial services sectors.
