However, margins (in line) were impacted by deal transition costs and lower realisations. The company maintained its revenue guidance of a USD revenue growth of 10-12% for CY17E, as well as a margin guidance of CY16 EBITDA%. The revenue guidance is achievable, and implies a 0-1.1% CQGR. The margin guidance may have a downside risk of INR appreciation (unchanged guidance from the last qtr). Management alluded to a flat deal pipeline sequentially, even as the quarterly win-rate was compressed (a 30% YoY decline in the TCV of new deals). Our estimates are unchanged. We believe that the margin levers are constrained by (1) A continuation of onsite-led growth, (2) Growth leadership in the BFS vertical (lower margin) and (3) A limited upside from utilisation. We, however, note positives such as a lower shrinkage in enterprise solutions, going RESULTS REVIEW 1QCY17 25 APR 2017 Hexaware Technologies NEUTRAL ahead, and traction in the top six-to-twenty accounts. We expect USD revenue/eps to grow at a 11/10% CAGR over CY16-18E, factoring in a USD revenue growth of 11.4/10% for CY17/18E, the EBITDA% at 15.8% (-40bps), and 16.5% for CY17/18E. Maintain a NEUTRAL with a TP of Rs 215, 13x CY18E. Highlights of the quarter Revenue stood at USD 144.7mn, 4.2% QoQ on a 4% CC growth (A 4.3% volume growth and a 0.3% decline in realisations). The EBITDA% at 16.9%, -36bps QoQ, was impacted by a ramp-up of costs for a new BPO client (- 41bps impact). The Travel and Transportation vertical is expected to be impacted by the insourcing of a large account in 2HCY17E (a ~USD6-7mn revenue impact). The APAC region is expected to drive growth in CY17E. The Healthcare and Insurance vertical is expected to recover, going ahead. Near-term outlook: The 2Q growth is expected to be softer than normal, owing to the base effect (strong 1Q), while margin headwinds will remain.
