Business process management (BPM) major WNS Holdings on Thursday reported over 8 per cent rise in net profit to USD 30.9 million for December 2019 quarter.
As per the general accounting standards, the company had registered a net profit of USD 28.6 million in the same quarter last year, WNS said in a statement.
The company's revenues increased by 19.7 per cent to USD 239.2 million in the quarter under review, from USD 199.7 million in the year-ago period, it added.
"Year-over-year, fiscal Q3 revenue improvement was broad-based across several key verticals, services, and geographies," WNS said in a statement.
It added that on sequential basis, revenue strength was driven by healthy growth with both new and existing clients, and favourable currency impacts net of hedging.
