Appended below are our key takeaways from the event: A suite of ready solutions to take to market: PSYS demonstrated with use cases a number of solutions that it has invested into and readied over the recent period, which is in line with its strategy of delineating revenue growth from headcount growth in the new services era. These included its solutions in IoT (Concert), Security (Sentient), clinical decisions support in Healthcare (with Partners Healthcare), Neuro - continuous risk-based authentication (in partnership with USAA). With every solution built in collaboration with a client, a ready reference will be in place to take it to more enterprises in the market; but these remain in very early stages of their sales life cycles. Market readiness and PSYS sales build-up: Three imperatives to scaling in the solutions continue to evolve: [1] Product readiness, [2] Market acceptance, [3] PSYS sales team readiness. But we likely see sales ramp up in one or multiple of these investments next fiscal. Solutions are the structural trigger to margins: PSYS investments in Digital, and the accompanying onsite centricity has taken its toll on margins - down from 26% (FY13) to 16% (FY17). Aspiration levels remain much higher, and, over the long term, repeat sales of pre-built solutions remains the main lever to margin expansion. IBM IoT sell-with has been slow: While PSYS continuous engineering IoT platform partnership with IBM continues to grow, the other anticipated revenue streams here were sell-with and PSYS own over-the-top solutions. However, progress on sell-with remains slow, which could take away some growth percentage points in the segment. On the other hand, sale of own solutions on the platform was always expected to have a higher gestation. Sales focus on opening new accounts: In the new Digital Services, PSYS focus remains on opening more doors over and above mining existing accounts into much larger scale. While mining is core to the company s plans, but much larger sized accounts (USD15-20m) at this juncture would still mean entering into services that may be legacy and not all Digital. So focus on this aspect will gradually gain ground. India an area of opportunity: PSYS cited exciting opportunity in the Indian market as well amid all the Government initiatives lined up. That said, it maintains that business in the region makes much more sense through sale of solutions than through services, and that will be the company s approach. An example of that is the company s solution sale for digitization of the proceedings of State Legislature and Uttar Pradesh Vidhaan Sabha is the first state legislature in the country to embrace the same.

Valuation view: Positive on expectation of margin cycle reversal In Tier-II IT, we prefer PSYS business fundamentals, given the following factors: One of the few Tier-II companies with the potential to grow revenues above the industry given the focus on Enterprise Digital Transformation. Unlikelihood of obsolescence in its chosen segments over the medium to long term; and multi-year relationships, with marquee clientele in the ISV space. Credible experience in agile product development and iterative approach to Product Engineering two very relevant trends in today s market Strong balance sheet and adequate pricing power in the set of offerings PSYS EBITDA margin declined 180bp YoY to 16.2% in FY17. We believe that the margins have bottomed out and should start showing improvement hereon, ending the 3 years of contraction from 26% in FY14 to 16% in FY17. 1QFY18 s dent of profitability is being covered by sequential improvement in profitability, which is expected to continue in 2HFY18 despite the negative impact of wage hikes. PSYS deal with IBM IoT s Continuous Engineering Platform contributed towards this contraction (~USD46m revenues with ~USD60m costs). Consequently, despite overall revenue growth of 22% and ~11% organic growth, EBITDA grew 11.6% YoY and PAT grew 5.2% YoY in FY17. We expect this segment to breakeven next year with some optimization of headcount. We are consecutively building 180bp expansion over the next two years. That, combined with 10% revenue CAGR over FY17-20E (facilitated by the Digital segment, 20% of business, which on its own accord should contribute 6-7pp to overall growth), leads to 16% earnings CAGR during this period (excluding exceptional loss in FY17). Our underlying thesis of margins bottoming out in the beginning of FY18, post three consecutive years of decline seems on track as the dent created in 1Q has started seeing a sequential path upwards. Despite wage hikes spread across 2H, seasonal strength is likely to mitigate any pressures as the company pulls on its operational levers, apart from being supported by seasonal strength in flowthrough IP revenue. We expect FY17-20 USD revenue/earnings CAGR of 10/16%. Our price target of INR780 discounts forward earnings by 14x. Maintain Buy. Key triggers Continued margin expansion Sharper growth in IBM Watson IoT Revival of growth in Services Key risk factors Any pause in momentum of Digital segment, which is a key driver of growth Pressure on margins from higher investments in new products Continued strengthening of the Rupee v/s the US dollar 3 December 2017 2
