Chairman Kushal Desai said that despite multiple COVID-19 waves hitting plant operations, logistics and both domestic and global demand, the company’s return on equity for FY21 was up 106 bps year-on-year to 12.5%, driven by 42% reduction in finance cost.

Craftsman Automation: Company has terminated joint venture agreements signed in 2007 with Mitsubishi Corporation, Tokyo, MC Machinery Systems, USA, Mitsubishi Corporation India and Mitsubishi Corporation Technos, Japan. The joint venture was for selling electric discharge machines and laser cutting machines.

It said this was a factor of both increased product volumes as well as strategic price realisation enhancements. It said the company focused on starting its cookies line at the Rajpura, Punjab factory in the first quarter with a capacity of 300 MT per month. It is also expanding a bakery line and bread line at our Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, facility which is due to start commercial operations in the third quarter of the current financial year.

The company said there remains an uncertainty around the duration of the pandemic and the resultant impact on consumer sentiment and demand. Input inflation may continue during the current year as well and it said it is taking necessary steps to mitigate the impact of inflation through appropriate pricing and cost control measures. It added that the slower growth of the Indian economy and stress in sectors, such as construction, could impact the performance of the company and that overseas subsidiaries, by virtue of their relatively smaller size, remain vulnerable to the political and economic uncertainties of their respective countries.

Infosys ADR ends up 1.6% vs normal share close of 2.1% yesterday
Revenue growth strong while margins and deal wins disappoint
Most brokerages cut EPS estimates marginally for Infosys

JPM Infosys
On the front foot - strong commentary and guidance raise; limited scope for near
term margin expansion
Infosys delivered a mixed 1Q22 print with a strong revenue beat, misses on
margins/EPS and solid deal wins. Strongest 1Q QQ and YY organic growth in a decade
and a strong demand environment has inspired an increase in FY22 CC revenue growth
guidance by 200bps to 14-16%. FY22 margin guidance has been retained at 22-24% as
company sees incremental headwinds from retention, back filling attrition and
subcontractors, and while near term levers from pyramid optimization and automation
appear limited. We raise FY22-24 revenues by 1-2% but cut margins by 16-74bps over
FY22-24 leading to 0-3% cut to EPS and 1% cut to PT. Infosys remains our top pick in
the sector, as it benefits from growth acceleration and share gains while maintaining
margins.
