Changed from 120 to 110 EPS (FY14E)... Changed from 12.0 to 11.6 EPS (FY15E)... Changed from 13.9 to 13.0 RATING...Unchanged Growth deceleration continues KPIT reported Q4FY13 earnings, which were below our estimates. US$ revenues grew 2% QoQ to $105.5 million and were below our $108.9 million estimate. Growth was predominantly led by auto SBU (up 8.3% QoQ) and IES (up 1.7% QoQ, helped by SYSTIME) while SAP (down 5.8% QoQ) was the laggard. Excluding Systime ($19.9 million), organic revenues grew 0.4% QoQ to $85.6 million vs. $85.3 million in Q3. For FY14E, KPIT guided 14-16% US$ revenue growth ($465-475 million) and PAT of 230.9-238.8 crore. KPIT expects growth to accelerate in the back half of FY14E while Q1 could be soft led by Cummins. Weakness in top 10 clients (down 0.8% QoQ), tepid organic growth ex-systime (up 9.3% QoQ) Q4 was flat QoQ and low visibility in Cummins continue to influence our HOLD rating. EBITDA margins ahead but PAT below EBITDA margins improved 208 bps QoQ to 17.7% (15.7% in Q3 and 16.3% estimate) led by rising contribution of auto engineering and IES share in total revenues. Reported PAT of 51.2 crore was below our 59.4 crore estimate led by rising taxes (27.1% vs. 22.8% in Q3) and other income loss of 8.6 crore ( 0.5 crore estimate). Operating metric highlights Sequentially, Cummins revenues declined 11.5% QoQ and could be under pressure in Q1FY14E. Top 5 and top 10 customers declined 2.5% and 0.8%, respectively. North America and RoW grew 4.2% QoQ and 10.7% QoQ, respectively, whereas Europe declined ~17% QoQ. Across verticals, manufacturing and others grew 6.1% and 12.7% QoQ while E&U and auto declined 3.3% QoQ and 2.7% QoQ, respectively. Onsite and offshore utilisation improved 147 bps and 121 bps to 94.3% and 74.1%, respectively. The active client base increased by 5 to 183 vs. 178 in Q3. Muted organic growth dictates HOLD We are adjusting our estimates to account for 1) improved margin commentary and 2) higher tax rates. We expect revenues, diluted EPS to grow 12%, 9%, respectively, in FY14E with 52 bps EBITDA margin expansion. Further, we expect revenue, diluted EPS to grow 14%, 12% in FY15E, which translates to a CAGR of 24%, 17%, respectively, during FY12-15E. We are modestly lowering our PE multiple to 8.8x vs. 9x to account for the growth deceleration and now value KPIT at 110, i.e. at 8.8x CY14E EPS estimate of 12.7 vs. 9x of 13.9x CY14E earlier.
