3.5 Fair value hierarchy
Fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Valuation Technique
Investment in mutual funds is measured at the redemption price declared by the mutual fund. Derivatives are measured basis the counterparty quotes obtained. Cost of investment in equity shares is considered to be representative of fair value.
4.1 Financial risk management
The Company has identified the risks under verticals like Geographic and client concentration risk, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuation risk and liquidity risk. The Company has formulated policies, procedures and strategies for managing risks which is affirmed by global CEO and CFO, after consultation with all business units, functions and department heads.
Geographic and client concentration risk
In year 2018, Americas contributed 68% of the Company-s total revenue (previous year 74%). The Company continues to expand its global footprint to diversify geographic concentration though Americas remains largest market for the IT industry. The Company-s exposure to the US regions is in line with the global industry practices. The Company will continue to invest in the region. There are a number of other growth factors in Americas such as favour for capitalism, highest per capita income, innovation driven culture and focus to retain high end work that allow us to identify and address the pockets of inefficiencies in the most optimum way.
77% and 81% of the revenue of 2018 and 2017, respectively is generated from top 10 clients, the concentration is high for standalone as customers include subsidiaries wherein contracts with end customers are entered by such subsidiaries. At consolidated level, the concentration of revenue from top 10 customers is at 52% for the year 2018 (55% for the year 2017). Any loss or major downsizing by these clients may impact Company-s profitability. Further, excessive exposure to particular clients will limit Company-s negotiating capacity and expose to higher credit risk.
The Company is able to maintain a diversified high quality client roster that can be accessed through the depth of relationships with existing clients.
The Company-s growth strategy involves a mix of new client addition and mining the accounts of existing clients. As we add more clients and grow our revenues from the existing clients, we naturally reduce our dependence on the large clients. Moreover, large clients allow quick scaling up of revenues and they come with higher margins due to lower associated cost and higher cost predictability.
Credit risk
Since most of our transactions are done on credit, we are exposed to credit risk on accounts receivable. Any delay, default or inability on the part of the client to pay on time will expose us to credit risk and can impact our profitability. Our maximum credit exposure is in respect of trade receivables of Rs. 5,363.53 million and Rs. 4,142.29 million as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively and unbilled revenue of Rs. 1,448.45 million and Rs. 329.92 million as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively.
Top 10 customer dues contribute 84% of the total outstanding as at December 31, 2018 (88% as at December 31, 2017).
Cash and cash equivalents and investments in mutual funds are neither past due nor impaired. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with nationalised banks. The investment in liquid mutual fund units are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Foreign Currency fluctuations Risk
Foreign exchange fluctuations is one of the key risks impacting our business. The offshore part of the revenue remains exposed to the risk of Rupee appreciation which is functional currency of the Company vis-a-vis the US Dollar, the Euro and other foreign currencies, as largely, the costs incurred are in Indian Rupees and the revenue/ inflows are in foreign currencies. The contracts we enter into with our customers tend to run across several years and many of these contracts are at fixed rates, therefore any appreciation in the Indian rupee vis-a-vis foreign currencies will affect our margins.
The Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy authorized by the Forex Committee of the Board takes these circumstances into account and authorizes hedging on a systematic basis. These risks have been effectively addressed by the processes and controls laid out in the Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy. The hedge ratio assigned to the exposures depends on the time horizon in which they fall, the near term exposures get a higher ratio whereas the farther exposures get a lower ratio. This graded approach ensures that hedges are spread across the hedge horizon in a tapered down manner. The exposure as indicated below is net of derivative contracts entered into by the Company.
10% depreciation/appreciation of the respective foreign currencies vis-a-vis functional currency of the Company would result in the increase/ decrease in Company-s profit before tax approximately by Rs. 563.65 million and Rs. 329.91 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
-Others include currencies such as Singapore Dollars, Canadian Dollars, United Arab Emirates Dirhams, Philippine Pesos, Japanese Yens, Australian Dollars etc.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on trade receivables and forecasted cash flows denominated in certain foreign currencies.
The weighted average forward rate for the hedges outstanding as at December 31, 2018 is Rs. 71.83, Rs. 88.22 and Rs. 98.70 (As at December 31, 2017 Rs. 70.98, Rs. 82.16 and Rs. 91.87) for USD, Euro and GBP, respectively. The hedges mature over the eight quarters.
10% depreciation/appreciation of the respective foreign currencies would result in the increase/ decrease in Company-s other comprehensive income approximate by Rs. 149.56 million and Rs. 948.12 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
There were no material hedge ineffectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Liquidity risk
The Company needs continuous access to funds to meet short and long term strategic investment requirements. The Company-s inability to meet such requirements in stipulated period may hamper growth plan and even ongoing operations. Further, the Company-s inability to quickly convert assets into cash without incurring any material loss will expose it to liquidity risks.
As at December 31, 2018, the Company had total cash / bank balance and investments in Mutual Funds of Rs. 1,581.70 million (as at December 31, 2017 Rs. 1,229.33 million) which constitutes approximately 8% of total assets (previous year 7%). The Company does not have any debt.
The tables below provide details of the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at:
Interest rate risk
