We attended CYL’s analyst meet, where the company elaborated on its aim to
become a major tier-I supplier in select verticals in the next ten years. It expects to
drive accelerated, non-linear growth through the execution of its S3 strategy and
design-led manufacturing (DLM).
It has taken several steps for executing this strategy – reorganization, investments in
specific areas, and differentiated strategy for focus verticals.
While the implementation of this strategy is not an immediate factor, CYL expects a
revival in core business in FY17 to double-digit revenue growth compared to flat
revenue previously. At the same time, it expects margin expansion, leading to a
guidance of 15%+ earnings growth for FY17.
Focus on S3 strategy
CYL’s S3 strategy (or the design-build-maintain continuum) applies to both its
segments. In Engineering, it spans across Design & Engineering, Electronics &
Mechanical Manufacturing, and Aftermarket & Operations Support. In DNO, the
services that coincide with the continuum are Network & Operations, Systems &
Applications, and Analytics. In accordance with this strategy, CYL has acquired four
companies to fill capability gaps and pace towards customer lifecycle ownership.
Reorganization to aid strategy execution
To get closer to the S3 strategy and 2020 aspiration, CYL recently reorganized its
structure into industry-focused business units (BUs). Eight BUs (Aerospace &
Defense, Transportation, Medical & Healthcare, Utilities & Geospatial,
Semiconductor, Communications, Industrial & ENR, and DLM) will drive business.
These will be supported by the four enabling units of Finance, Strategy, Marketing
& Communications, Corporate HR, and Business Excellence.

Investments directed towards the long-term
The company has been making several investments in line with its strategy. These
are directed towards building: [1] technology capability (IoT, MedTech), [2]
geographic capability (opening of center in Prague and commencement of JV in
Israel for defense offsets), and [3] domain capability (Bogies technical center and
inorganic growth). Investments are currently underway and are expected to start
yielding results, going ahead.
Signs of strategy execution – a key positive
CYL has articulated 18 key actionable areas across key verticals, with well-defined
plans and timelines. Several of these areas have started to see progress, while
some remain untouched. However, this provides for some additional indicators of
progress, besides CYL’s acquisitions over the last few quarters. Moreover, there has
been a significant shift in pipeline, indicating a conscious move towards higher
proportion of revenue from Systems and Solutions compared to Services. The
Design:Build:Maintain ratio of the pipeline has changed from 61:14:25 in FY16 to
42:35:23 in FY17.
