Profit before tax in Q2 FY22 stood at Rs 206.1 crore, up by 26.3% from Rs 163.2 crore in Q1 FY22.

 

The IT firm's net profit and revenues have risen by 21.6% and 36% in Q2 FY22 over Q2 FY21.

Coforge said that the total order book executable over the next twelve months has expanded 40.6% year-on-year to $688 million as on 30 September 2021.

Order intake during the quarter was $285 million, on the back of three large deals secured during the quarter out of which two were greater than $ 50 million TCV each.

Total headcount at Coforge, after including the employees of the recently acquired SLK Global, increased to 20,786 during the quarter under review. Attrition rate increased to 15.3% in Q2 FY22 from 12.6% in Q1 FY22 and 10.5% in Q2 FY22.

Sudhir Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Coforge, said: Our investments in product engineering, cloud, data, automation and integration capabilities continue to power our path to being a $1 billion plus firm next year. This is a landmark year for the firm as we anticipate that we shall grow revenues by at least 35% and our adjusted EBITDA by at least 40% over the previous year.

In view of sustained deal wins and incremental business from its customer base, the company is now planning for a growth (excluding SLK Global contribution) of at least 22% in constant currency terms during FY'22, which is higher than the at least 19% growth indicated earlier.

This translates to at least 35% of consolidated (including SLK Global) growth in constant currency terms for the firm in FY22. The firm continues to target an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19% for the year.

The board has recommended an interim dividend of Rs 13 per share, and the record date for this payout will be 8 November 2021.

The scrip slumped 9.37% to currently trade at Rs 4911.70 on the BSE.
