Letter to the shareholder
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to begin the 25th anniversary year of Infosys by reporting satisfactory growth. Consolidated revenues grew 45.6% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal, while consolidated net profits before exceptional items increased by 49.2%. In US GAAP terms, revenues grew by 38.7% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal. We have revised our revenue guidance for the year under US GAAP to a year-on-year growth rate of 35.4% - 35.9%, from 28% - 30% provided at the beginning of the year.
Our efforts to build the brand, develop our client base and expand strategic accounts have fueled our robust organic model. Today, we have 221 clients billing over $1 million, 11 clients billing over $50 million, and 2 clients billing over $100 million.
We have built critical scale, execution capabilities and end-to-end service offerings to take full advantage of the market opportunity. Consequently, services volumes have grown by 8.5% sequentially. Pricing remained stable. We maintained margins despite wage increases and increased visa investment. The depreciation of the rupee against the dollar and other currencies contributed positively to the operating margins by 2.2%
We added 38 new clients. Our growth during the quarter is driven mainly by the financial services, manufacturing and telecom sectors. Growth in Europe continues to be strong.
We combined innovation in service delivery and technology to provide high quality business transformation solutions to clients. We designed and developed an Inventory Management System for a European telecommunications services major to consolidate its multiple standalone systems. We are re-engineering the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) platform for a leading manufacturer to improve operational efficiency across its European operations. A Fortune 100 pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturer is using our expertise in strategic business transformation initiatives to achieve an efficient world-class IT services sourcing model. We are defining the product roadmap for corporate actions for a leading US financial services conglomerate and helping the company with a buy-or-build analysis.
Finacle®, our universal banking solution, continues to be a preferred choice for large global banks, with new wins in India and the Caribbean.
Process innovation continues to be strong. During the quarter, we filed one patent application in the United States and eight patent applications in India for process innovation in IT services. As of June 30, 2006, we have applied for 44 patents in India and the US.
SETLabs, our research and development arm, is developing Intellectual Property (IP) in business-critical areas such as Service Oriented Architecture, High Performance and Grid Computing, Convergence and Mobility, Business Process Management and Information Management.
Our employee policies and investments in education and training have made Infosys the employer of choice. We added 8,097 (gross) employees during the quarter. About 2,000 employees joined on a single day, which is the highest ever at Infosys. We continue to invest in creating a strong training and recruitment engine to meet our growth objectives.
On August 20, 2006, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor, turns 60 and will retire from the services of the company on that date as per the company's service rules. The Board has resolved to appoint Mr. Murthy as an Additional Director of the company and further resolved that he will serve as the Non-executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor with effect from August 21, 2006.
The Board also resolved that Mr. Nandan M. Nilekani, currently the Chief Executive Officer, President and Managing Director of the company, be re-designated as the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. Mr. S. Gopalakrishnan, currently the Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Managing Director, will be promoted and re-designated as the President, Chief Operating Officer and Joint Managing Director. The changes will be effective from August 21, 2006.
On June 30, 2006, Infosys acquired 87,50,000 equity shares (23% on a fully diluted basis) of Progeon Limited from Citicorp International Finance Corporation for a consideration of Rs. 530 crore ($115.13 million). As of June 30, 2006, Infosys holds 96.96% of the outstanding equity shares of Progeon Limited. The net consideration of Rs. 309 crore after withholding taxes of Rs. 221 crore was remitted to Citicorp International Finance Corporation on June 30, 2006.
Infosys was included in the new NASDAQ Global Select Market on July 3, 2006. The NASDAQ Global Select Market has the highest initial listing standards of any exchange in the world, based on financial and liquidity requirements.
