Resilience and adaptability – the key themes!
Expect structural increase in technology intensity over long term
TCS Annual Report 19-20
Infosys Annual Report
19-20
Analysis of FY20 Annual/Sustainability Reports of TCS, Infosys and Wipro
reiterates our confidence in their resilience. This is epitomized by their handling
of (1) the logistical nightmare of enabling work from home (WFH) for nearly a
million employees, (2) productivity, (3) governance/security, and (4) client
business continuity.
Our channel checks also corroborate that Indian IT was more resilient compared
to internal IT teams, captives of clients and some global vendors.
The ARs acknowledged dislocation across verticals and slowdown in
discretionary spends in the near term. However, they also hinted at higher
spending on areas like collaboration tools, cyber security, cloud adoption, etc.
In many verticals, digital channels evolved from being secondary, nice-to-have
options to primary channels, and in some instances – the only channels. (a)
Accelerated digital rollouts, and (b) M&A led IT integration spends are
anticipated in the near term.
Further, clients focusing on their own resilience and shift in consumer
preferences should translate into a structural increase in technology intensity
over the long term. Focus should be on initiatives like automation, remote
working and legacy technology optimization.
Infosys’ AR brings out an interesting analogy that enterprises are life-like,
responsive and evolving beings. While the next few months should be difficult,
these companies are confident that the deep relationships with customers,
partners, enviable scale and diversified mix should help them navigate better.
In addition, the steady expansion of the addressable market through the launch
of new services, products and platforms should be of help now.
They also continue to make differentiated investments to strengthen their
offerings in digital, cloud, engineering, cyber security, etc.
TCS, Infosys and Wipro foresee a long lasting impact on their established ways
of work. While Wipro indicated that 100% of the workforce is not expected to
return to office, TCS called out its bold new vision of 25x25, centered on WFH.
TCS has also indicated that there are pockets in which it witnessed improved
velocity, throughput and productivity in WFH. It added further that clients are
discovering that productivity is as good, if not better, in the new way of working.
Immediate emphasis will be on operational cost optimization initiatives.
Companies are looking at levers like automation, pyramid correction, onsite-
offshore mix, sub-contractor and travel costs, deferring wage revisions etc.
Liquidity, cash and WC management are stated to be the other key focus areas.
Talent diversity was one of the key talking points of the ARs/sustainability
reports. Efforts to make the workplace more inclusive for (a) women, and (b)
the LGBTQ community were elaborated upon.

Infosys Sustainability
Report
Infosys 20F
During the year, TCS became the first Tata group company to include gender
reassignment surgery under its employee health cover plan and redefined the
word ‘spouse’ to include same sex partners, regardless of marital status.
Women’s participation in the workforce across levels in these companies is
already amongst the highest in the country and is expected to rise further.
Maternity is a key trigger for women dropping out from work. But, it is
impressive that TCS/Infosys managed retention rate of 89-98% (post maternity
leave). TCS foresees women’s participation to rise further with its vision 25x25.
These companies continued to accelerate their localization programs during
FY20, which helped bring down dependence on work visas significantly. E.g.
locals now account for ~69% of Wipro’s US employees (v/s 57% in FY18).
Balance sheets are strong and liquid (Cash – 25-41% of assets/5-30% of m-cap).
Sub-optimal assets like goodwill/intangibles remained low for TCS and Infosys
(2-11% of net-worth) while it was relatively higher for Wipro (23-26%). Given
the COVID-19 situation, impairments cannot be ruled out in Wipro, in our view.
Treasury investments are into low risk instruments and write-offs are unlikely.
Contingent liabilities continued to be low and stable (2-5% of net worth).
RoE of TCS (~38%) and Infosys (~25%) remained among the best across the
industries. While their PAT margins contracted (30-80bp) during FY20, RoE
expansion (150-320bp) was led by healthy capital return.
Working Capital (WC) cycles of these companies were stretched during FY20 (by
4-8 days), impacting pre-tax cash conversion. In the case of Infosys, this was
largely led by consolidation of acquired entities (e.g. HIPUS, Stater).
However, significantly lower cash tax outflows (by ~33-75% YoY) due to
MAT/APA refunds helped cash conversion to an extent.
~100% of the accounts were audited by statutory auditors. In FY20, there were
no material accounting policy changes, barring the Ind-AS adoption and useful
lives of some intangible assets (Infosys and Wipro).
There were no critical opinions, qualified remarks, etc. in the audit reports.
Audit fees are stable and in line with prevailing market remunerations.
Related party transactions entered into by these companies were at an arm’s
length, in the course of normal business and not significant. Most of these
transactions are with controlled subsidiaries, which should not be a concern.
Of the board seats, 56-67% are represented by independent directors (v/s
statutory requirement of 50%). In key committees such as Audit, 83-100% of the
representation is for independent directors (v/s statutory requirement of 67%).
Despite near-term uncertainties due to COVID-19 and the US Presidential
elections, we continue to like Infosys/TCS/HCLT among Tier I.
This is attributable to their robust business models, high return ratios, strong
management teams and reasonable valuations.
These companies have the legacy of overcoming multiple business challenges
and technology change cycles in the past.
Accordingly, we believe they will be able to adapt and overcome any transient
challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis.
Robust balance sheets; Stretched working capital cycles

Talent diversity is a key focus area
Talent diversity remained one of the key talking points of this year’s Annual Reports.
During the year, TCS became the first Tata Group company to include gender re-
assignment surgery under its employee health cover and redefine the word ‘spouse’
to include same sex partners, regardless of marital status. Annual/Sustainability
Reports of Infosys and Wipro also highlighted measures to make the work place
inclusive for members of the LGBTQ community.
Currently, 35-37% employees of these companies are women. Share of women in
the workforce across levels has risen steadily for TCS and Infosys over the last three
years, while it remained stable in Wipro’s case. TCS’ AR elaborated multiple
initiatives for helping women employees realize their potential while striking a good
work-life balance. In addition, it also reiterated the company’s practice of ensuring
compensation equality across genders.

Based on NASSCOM’s research (link), we understand that maternity leave is a stage
when a significant number of women from the IT workforce drop out. Accordingly,
women participation in senior management roles in the industry is significantly
lower than in junior levels. Nevertheless, both TCS and Infosys reported impressive
retention rates post maternity leave (TCS - 98% and Infosys - 89%).
Annual/Sustainability Reports of these companies further detail the measures being
taken to improve women participation and retention across the pyramid. TCS
expects its bold new vision of 25x25 to be a game changer as it allows women to
pursue fulfilling IT careers while simultaneously managing familial responsibilities.
These companies continued to accelerate localization programs during FY20
bringing down the dependence on work visas to a fraction of what it used to be 5
years ago. For instance, locals currently account for ~69% of US workforce for Wipro
v/s (57% a couple of years back).

We believe talent diversity is a critical aspect of the sustainability and success of a
knowledge-based and human-resource intensive business like IT services.
Accordingly, companies adopting such sustainable employment practices should
create better shareholder value over the long term.

Robust balance sheets; Material impairments unlikely
Balance sheets of the Top-3 IT companies remain strong and liquid. Even as these
companies stepped up capital return (dividend + buy back) to shareholders over the
previous 3 years, cash and short-term investments still amount to an impressive 25-
41% of total assets and 5-30% of the market capitalizations.
Accordingly, even as the global economy faces a liquidity risk, we believe IT
companies are very well positioned. Such balance sheet/liquidity strength should
help these companies (a) consolidate the wallet share of weaker players, and (b)
pursue attractive M&A opportunities during the current COVID crisis.
On cash and short-term investments, TCS, Infosys and Wipro generate a healthy and
range-bound return of 6-9%.

Sub-optimal assets (e.g. goodwill and intangibles) remained low as share of net
worth (2-11%) for TCS and Infosys. Over the years, while these metrics remained
stable for TCS (~2%), they have slightly increased for Infosys (5-7% in FY19 to 8-11%
in FY20) due to the acquisitions consolidated over the last two years (e.g. HIPUS,
Stater and Simplus).

Relatively, share of goodwill/intangible assets on the balance sheet is higher in
Wipro’s case (23-26% of net worth), which further increased during FY20. This rise
was led by the consolidation of (a) Vara Infotech, (b) Techne Group Inc., and (c)
Rational Interaction. Of the total purchase price of ~INR10.4b for these three
entities, the company apportioned ~93% toward goodwill and intangibles.
The intangibles related to Vara Infotech will be amortized over 6.5-9.5 years, in line
with the duration of the USD300m customer contract with ICICI Bank. Given the
relatively higher share of goodwill/intangibles and the COVID-19 situation,
possibility of impairment in the near term cannot be ruled out, in our view.

instruments like tax-free bonds (e.g. NHAI, REC, PFC, NTPC etc.), government bonds,
liquid mutual funds, Certificates of Deposit and Commercial Paper (e.g. LIC Housing

Decent expansion in return ratios
The top-3 companies witnessed RoE expansion of 150-320bp during FY20. RoEs of
TCS (~38%) and Infosys (~25%) remain among the best across the industry. Barring
Wipro, PAT margins of the other two companies contracted (30-80bp).
Nevertheless, RoE expansion was largely driven by the reduction in equity base due
to healthy capital return. Pay-outs of all three companies remained high (111-145%
of FCF) and showed an improvement over FY19.

Stretched WC cycle; Lower cash tax outflow helps
During FY20, pre-tax cash conversion of TCS deteriorated led by stretch in the WC
cycle (53 to 57 days). In turn, WC cycle was impacted both on receivables (81 to 84
days, billed + unbilled) and payables front (28 to 27 days). However, MAT refund led
lower cash tax outflow (-41% YoY) aided in generating better post-tax cash.

During FY20, pre-tax cash conversion of Infosys deteriorated led by a stretch in
the WC cycle (78 to 86 days). This was in turn led by sharp increase in
receivables (65 to 74 days) and unbilled revenue days (24 to 29 days), which was
attributed to (a) Stater/HIPUS, and (b) large deal ramp-ups.
Payables on the balance sheet reported substantial increase (from INR17b in
FY19 to INR29b in FY20, 6 days increase as days of sales), largely led by
consolidation of HIPUS. However, this increase has not translated into better
cash generation at the consolidated level. Trade payables account in the cash
flow statement reported an outflow of ~INR4b (v/s ~INR9b inflow in FY19).
Cash tax outflow reported significant decline (~33% YoY) led by tax refunds
related to Advance Pricing Agreement (APA). Accordingly, while the pre-tax cash
generation was weaker (v/s FY19), post-tax cash generation was healthier.

During FY20, pre-tax cash generation of Wipro witnessed significant
deterioration due to stretched WC cycle. This was in turn led by sharp reduction
in creditor days (55 to 49 days), contract liabilities and marginal increase in
receivables (billed + unbilled). Like in the case of TCS and Infosys, cash tax
outflow during the year was significantly lower (v/s FY19). This aided in
relatively better post-tax cash conversion, albeit it was weaker than in FY19.

Sector Update | 2 July 2020
High accounting and governance standards continue
Accounts of these companies are audited by the Big-4 auditors like Deloitte and BSR.
Almost 100% of the business is audited by the statutory auditor in each case. During
FY20, there were no material changes in accounting policies barring Ind-AS 116
adoption and changes in the useful lives of some intangible assets (Infosys and
Wipro). There were no critical opinions, qualified remarks, etc. in the audit reports.
Audit fees are stable and in line with prevailing market remunerations.
Related party transactions entered into by these companies during the year are at
an arm’s length in the course of normal business and not significant. Most of these
transactions are with controlled subsidiaries, which should not be a concern.
Of the board seats of these companies, 56-67% is represented by independent
directors (v/s statutory requirement of 50%). In key committees such as audit
committee, 83-100% of the representation is for independent directors (v/s
statutory requirement of 67%). 50-100% of the representation in NRC is with the
independent directors (v/s statutory requirement of 50%).

Prefer Infosys/TCS/HCLT among Tier I
The Annual/Sustainability Reports of TCS/Infosys/Wipro reinforces our belief in the
adaptability and resilience of the IT services business model. This should further
alleviate the concerns of investors around a material displacement to operations,
business continuity and new deal wins due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Despite near-term uncertainties due to COVID-19 and the US Presidential elections,
we continue to like Infosys/TCS/HCLT among Tier I and LTI/Mindtree among Tier II.
This is attributable to their robust business models, high return ratios, strong
management teams and reasonable valuations.
These companies have the legacy of overcoming multiple business challenges and
technology change cycles in the past. Accordingly, we believe they will be able to
adapt and overcome any transient challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis.
