Audited Financial Results for the Year ended 30th June ’11 (.pdf file)

 

 HCL Infosystems India’s premier ICT System Integration, services, hardware and distribution company today announced financial results for its quarter ending June 30th 2011 and financial year ending 2010- 2011

 

Mr. Ajai Chowdhry, Founder HCL and Chairman, HCL Infosystems Limited, commenting on the results said,“The economy at large has been going through a difficult phase with both enterprises & consumers being cautious in decision making and discretionary spends. Inflationary pressures leading to aggressive interest rate escalation has also played an integral role in slowing down the economy and the desired growth momentum. Led by a volatile environment in the country today, the capacity expansion in most sectors has momentarily taken a back seat with IT sectors like System Integration, IT product and Services been affected in the domestic markets with the slow Government project execution and decision process. But I see this having only a short term impact, as with the emerging broadband ecosystem, leading to technologies like cloud services, mobility and steps taken by the Government with the new Electronics policy and focus on R&D, have great potential to be big growth drivers in the long run. As HCL Infosystems begins its new year, I am confident that our rigorous execution plans will show results and build a strong organisation over the next 2-3 years for the future.”

 

Mr. Harsh Chitale, Chief Executive Officer, HCL Infosystems Limited, commenting on the results said, “As we had indicated last quarter, Systems Integration business continued to be severely impacted by slow down in projects and customer decision cycles. On the other hand the recently inducted businesses like Learning more than doubled and we also did exceedingly well with successfully establishing presence in new growth areas such as remote services and emerging markets in Middle East and Africa. HCL Infosystems has embarked on a transition phase and with the companywide business excellence program currently underway, we are putting relentless efforts to re-align the organisation to drive cost and working capital efficiencies and to re-position it for future growth opportunities. Over the next 12-15months we expect these efforts to result in terms of bottom-line as well as cash flow performance.”

 

Snapshot of the Quarter

  • In the previous quarter release, we had stated that System Integration business was adversely impacted by the delays, and that it may continue over a few quarters. During the quarter ended 30th June 11, we continued to see delays in projects in the verticals where we have a significant presence. This has severely impacted the results of the quarter by way of:
  • Delay in release of payments by our customers resulting in increased borrowing costs, provisions on account of receivables due to delay.
  • For projects under implementation, delays in achieving milestones have lead to delay in revenue recognition whereas the company continues to incur costs resulting in cost overruns on projects.
  • Delay in release of fresh orders which were expected to be won impacting revenue growth
  • Considering the current environment, with likelihood that delay in projects may continue for some more time, we anticipate that there could be some additional cost impact on the projects business of the company. Hence we are reviewing the possible impact project by project and discussing the same with the customers and the vendors. We shall finalize this assessment by end of Q1 FY 2011-12
