Decent 3Q Results, FY14 Guidance Raised; Valuation Fair; Maintain Hold

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS: This morning, Infosys reported solid 3Q results, with revenue coming in roughly in line with expectations and EPS beating estimates comfortably. Commentary on the demand outlook was incrementally upbeat, consistent with our view that industry demand is healthy, and management bumped up FY14 guidance. While we are encouraged by the demand outlook, we remain on the sidelines on INFY since we believe execution remains choppy and there is limited potential for estimate upgrades and multiple expansion. Maintain Hold.

Results. Revenue rose 1.6% Q/Q to $2.100 billion, slightly ahead of our $2.076 billion estimate and roughly in line with consensus of $2.108 billion. Europe, India, and ROW improved sequentially, while North America surprisingly declined. Management attributed the sequential decline in revenue in North America to lumpiness in the business and indicated it anticipates growth to rebound as recent large transformation deals start to ramp. Gross margins increased due to a higher offshore mix, while cost controls drove additional operating margin improvement. Margin outperformance led to the earnings upside in 3Q, with INFY posting $0.81 in EPS, above our $0.73 estimate and consensus of $0.75. Outlook. Management raised FY14 revenue growth guidance to 11.5-12.0% Y/Y, up from the 9-10% Y/Y range provided last quarter (INFY began the year with revenue growth guidance of 6-10% Y/Y). Management expects to run the business at a 25-26% operating margin long term, although we believe in the near term increased investments may lead to margins running about 100 bps below the range. We are raising our FY14 estimates though to reflect the 3Q upside and better revenue and margin trends in 4Q. We are also increasing our FY15 revenue and EPS estimates, reflecting both a healthier demand outlook and higher margin levels. Valuation. While we are encouraged by the demand outlook, we remain on the sidelines on INFY since we believe execution remains choppy and there is limited potential for estimate upgrades and multiple expansion. With the stock recently trading around $59, which is roughly 12x ex-cash our CY4 EPS estimate, we believe the stock is fairly valued based on INFY's sub industry growth rate. Maintain Hold.

The table below details how INFY fared versus our estimates for 3Q FY14. Revenue came in slightly above our estimates, but slightly below the Street, growing 1.6% sequentially. Gross margins were 110 bps above our estimate, mainly due to a shift to higher offshore effort and a 0.7% Q/Q increase in pricing. Operating margins were 190 bps above our forecast, boosted by lower sales and marketing expenses. The margin outperformance led to a healthy beat on earnings, with INFY posting $0.81 in EPS, above our $0.73 estimate and consensus of $0.75. Figure 1

The table below highlights the key operating metrics for the last five quarters. Headcount growth and utilization dropped sequentially. While we anticipate utilization will remain in the low to mid-70s, we believe INFY could look to ramp hiring as the demand picture, particularly for large transformation deals, is improving. Attrition increased for the seventh straight quarter and is the highest among INFYs major peers. We see the rising attrition rate as a concern since it could place incremental pressure on margins as it leads to higher costs to acquire and retain employees. Geographic growth was concentrated in Europe/India/ROW, while North America was down slightly sequentially. The BFSI and Retail/Life Sciences segments drove the growth by industry group. Figure 2

ANALYST CERTIFICATION
I, Mayank Tandon hereby certify that the views expressed in this research report accurately reflect my personal views about the subject company (ies) and its (their) securities.

RATINGS DISTRIBUTIONS FOR NEEDHAM & COMPANY, LLC

Strong Buy Buy Hold Underperform Rating Suspended Restricted Under Review

% of companies under coverage with this rating 4 62 34 <1 0 0 <1

% for which investment banking services have been provided for in the past 12 months 31 24 7 0 0 0 0

Needham & Company, LLC employs a rating system based on the following:

Strong Buy: A security, which at the time the rating is instituted, indicates an expectation of a total return of at least 25% over the next 12 months. Hold: A security, which at the time the rating is instituted, indicates an expectation of a total return of +/-10% over the next 12 months.

Buy: A security, which at the time the rating is instituted, indicates an expectation of a total return between 10% and 25% over the next 12 months. Underperform: A security, which at the time the rating is instituted, indicates an expectation that the price will depreciate by more than 10% over the next 12 months.

Under Review: Stocks may be placed UR by the analyst, indicating that the stock rating and/or price target are subject to possible change in the near term, usually in response to an event that may effect the investment case or valuation. Rating Suspended: Needham & Company, LLC has suspended the rating and/or price target, if any, for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining a rating or price target. The previous rating and price target, if any, are no longer in effect and should not be relied upon. Restricted: Needham & Company, LLC policy and/or applicable law and regulations preclude certain types of communications, including an investment recommendation, during the course of Needham & Company, LLCs engagement in an investment banking transaction and in certain other circumstances. For disclosure purposes, in accordance with FINRA requirements, please note that our Strong Buy and Buy ratings most closely correspond to a "Buy" recommendation. When combined, 65% of companies under coverage would have a "Buy" rating and 25% have had investment banking services provided within the past 12 months. Hold ratings mostly correspond to a "Hold/Neutral" recommendation; while our Underperform rating closely corresponds to the "Sell" recommendation required by the FINRA.

Our rating system attempts to incorporate industry, company and/or overall market risk and volatility. Consequently, at any given point in time, our investment rating on a stock and its implied price appreciation may not correspond to the stated 12-month price target. For valuation methods used to determine our price targets and risks related to our price targets, please contact your Needham & Company, LLC salesperson for a copy of the most recent research report.
