Syntel Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Highlights:

 

   

Q2 revenue of $202.5M, up 13% from year-ago quarter, and 7% sequentially

 

   

Q2 EPS of $1.14 per diluted share, up 10% from year-ago quarter, and 3% sequentially

 

   

Q2 cash & short term investments of $552M

 

   

Global Headcount of 22,866 on June 30, 2013, up 14% versus prior year

TROY, Mich. – July 18, 2013 – Syntel, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNT), a global information technology services and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) firm, today announced financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Syntel’s revenue for the second quarter increased 13 percent to $202.5 million from $179.0 million in the prior-year period, and increased seven percent sequentially from $189.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. During the second quarter, Applications Outsourcing accounted for 76 percent of total revenue, with Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) at 16 percent, e-Business contributing six percent and TeamSourcing at two percent.

The Company’s gross margin was 41.3 percent in the second quarter, compared to 41.3 percent in the prior-year period and 41.1 percent in the first quarter of 2013. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were 9.4 percent of revenue in the second quarter, compared to 10.6 percent in the prior-year period and 13.7 percent in the previous quarter.

The second quarter income from operations was 31.9 percent of revenue as compared to 30.7 percent in the prior-year period and 27.4 percent in the first quarter. The sequential rise in operating margin primarily reflects the impact of currency-related balance sheet translations and the depreciation in the Indian rupee during the second quarter, which more than offset costs related to offshore wage increases, visas and higher billable headcount.

Net income for the second quarter was $47.5 million or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $43.4 million or $1.04 per diluted share in the prior-year period and net income of $46.4 million or $1.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013.

During Q2, Syntel spent $4.37 million in CAPEX, largely in support of campus infrastructure, and finished the quarter with cash and short-term investments of $552 million. The Company also added 687 net employees, ending the quarter with 22,866 employees globally.

Operational Highlights

“We executed well during the second quarter, crossing the $200 million revenue milestone for the first time,” said Syntel CEO and President Prashant Ranade. “We are delivering these results by demonstrating value to our customers each day through our innovation and domain knowledge.”

“In a time of rising complexity and market uncertainty, we remain committed to serving our customers,” said Ranade. “Our model is flexible and we have the ability to evolve as the landscape changes across the industries and geographies we serve.”

“The overall environment remains healthy and our prospects continue to improve. We are positioning ourselves for long-term success through client-driven investments in offerings that will help us deepen our customer relationships. The breadth of our pipeline continues to improve due to these investments and we look forward to helping our customers meet their future business and operational goals.”


2013 Guidance

Based on current visibility levels and an exchange rate assumption of 59 Indian Rupees to the dollar, the Company currently expects 2013 revenue of $800 to $815 million and EPS in the range of $4.65 to $4.75.
