2. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

2. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Consolidated Revenue stood at '' 39,759 Lakhs for the year ended 31st March, 2025 which is lower by 20% on a Revenue of '' 49,422 Lakhs achieved for 31st March, 2024. Total Revenue on a Standalone basis for the year ended 31st March, 2025 stood at '' 38,793 Lakhs which is lower by 19% from the total Revenue of '' 48,150 Lakhs reported for year ended 31st March, 2024.

Lower revenue has primarily come from the Infra Products and Banking segments of the business within India. The Indian market was sluggish at the beginning of the fiscal year 2024-25 with the announcement of the general elections in the country and the consequent presenting of the Financial Budget by the newly elected Government at the centre. This caused delay in closure of projects as the Company focus is on PSU / Government verticals and Banks for the Infra Products business. The US market continued to be sluggish and a revival is hoped for in 2025-2026 of business.

Growth in Revenue and Margins from India and loss curtailed at Dubai subsidiary which has gone in for liquidation helped the Company improve the consolidated EBITDA for the financial year ended 31st March, 2025 to '' 3,725 Lakhs compared to '' 3,559 Lakhs for the year ended 31st March, 2024.

Consolidation

The domestic economy continued to languish recording a below 5 % growth for the second consequent year, during FY 14, The constant changes in domestic and global economic landscape continues to create uncertainty in the business environment .The expected recovery of the Indian economy during the second half did not materialize due to adverse political climate prevailed in the country,. However the exchange rates showed some stability during the second half bringing some comfort to our operations. The prospects of growth in the indian economy continues to be challenged due to various factors like depreciating rupee, inflation, current account deficit etc. The company is constantly monitoring the situation and taking various steps for risk mitigation.

On a standalone basis, the revenues from operations and other income stood at INR 29914 lakhs , representing a decline of 9% over previous year.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at INR 4067 lakhs were higher by 22% over previous year, due to improvement in the EBITDA margins The decline in the standalone revenues is attributable to planned gradual reduction in system integration business, with lower margins compared to other IT service businesses. However this reduction in revenues was offset by growth in the overseas subsidiary operations and software services and which resulted in better EBITDA margins in FY14 compared to FY13.

Company''s performance

The global economic slowdown during the fnancial year 2012-13 with macro economic uncertainties impacted the business envi- ronment in India. The slowdown is expected to continue through f- nancial year 2013-14 with faster growth expected in few emerging markets. These uncertainties have prepared the industry to operate more efciently embedded with a disciplined cost management in order to strengthen the foundation of the businesses.

Financial year 2012-13 represents the full year operations after the consolidation of all the IT service business in 2011-12. The company has successfully integrated these merged business portfolios and could transform itself to ofer more value added services.

On a standalone basis, the revenues from operations and other in- come stood at INR 32,921.26 lakhs, representing a decline of 22% over previous year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at INR 3,345.93 lakhs were lower by 9% over previous year. However the EBITDA margins improved 10.16% in FY13 compared to 8.67% in FY12.

On a consolidated basis, the revenues from operations and other income stood at INR 40,137.95 lakhs, representing a decline of 17% over previous year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at INR 3,325.05 lakhs were lower by 1% over previous year. However the EBITDA margins improved to 8.28% in FY13 compared to 6.92% in FY12.

The decline in revenues is attributable to planned reduction in the IT hardware centric system integration business, which commands lower margins compared to IT service business. However this re- duction in revenues was partly ofset by growth in software and infrastructure management services revenues, which resulted in better EBITDA margins in FY13 compared to FY12.

Durring FY13 the company''s liquidity possition remained challeng- ing due to additional investment made in software assets and over- seas subsidiaries, to enhance the software business.

The compnay has initiated various steps to ease the liquidity po- sition and augment long term working capital required for future growth as planned.

Workforce strategy was planned with a focus on sustainable utili- zation levels. A lot of eforts are being taken to implement these strategies to maintain costs at optimal levels.

The company has a matured talent management process and en- vironment where performance is rewarded and opportunities are provided for career growth and development. Focused initiatives towards work life balance and safety of employees have helped the company in gaining confdence level of the employees and bring down the attrition levels.
