“We are happy to report a healthy performance in the third quarter with a top-line growth of 3.7% QoQ and 11.8% YoY in a challenging and weak quarter for the industry. Our Healthcare & Lifesciences business executed strongly to report a growth of 4.6% QoQ and 13% YoY. This was backed by large deals in regulatory and digital health services. Our Transportation business witnessed steady growth of 2.7% QoQ in a short quarter. While we had some delays in planned ramp-ups and deal closures due to the short quarter and holidays, we are positioned well to capture growth opportunities in the continued transformation of the automotive industry and Software Defined Vehicles. Our Media & Communication business has done well in a deteriorated business environment for the media, telecom and technology industry, growing 0.6% QoQ and 3.4% YoY. We are staying close to our customers and building on both growth and efficiency offerings for customers in this industry. Our Design-Digital strategy is continuing to drive differentiation and growth, with our Design business growing strongly at 12.3%. Our design teams have executed some landmark projects that spans user research, design and implementation to lead the way for our customers to transform consumer experience across industries. This also paves the path for capturing downstream value of technology implementation, as well as managed services for our systems integration business. While we have continued to invest strongly in talent addition with over 350 Elxsians in this quarter and a net of 1,357 Elxsians over the past nine months, we have done well to maintain our EBITDA well over the 29% band. This underlines our strong focus on delivery and operational excellence, and our confidence in the future and long-term demand for our differentiated offerings. As we step into the last quarter of this financial year, the confidence of our customers in our differentiated Design Digital proposition and delivery excellence, and a strong deal pipeline provides us the foundation for sustained growth.” 914.2 881.7 290.0 817.7 288.0 286.0 284.0 282.0 280.0 278.0 276.0 270.1 274.0 272.0 2 2 6 70 8. .0 0 263.6 266.0 264.0 262.0 260.0 258.0 256.0 254.0 252.0 246.9 250.0 248.0 246.0 244.0 242.0 240.0 Q3'23 Q2'24 Q3'24 Q3'23 Q2'24 Q3'24 12,871 13,221 31.26 32.12 33.15 11,607 Q3'23 Q2'24 Q3'24 Q3'23 Q2'24 Q3'24 • Revenues from operations at Rs. 914.2 Cr, + 3.7% QoQ, + 11.8% YoY • Operating revenue growth +3.0% QoQ and +9.4% YoY on constant currency basis • Operating Margin at 29.5%; Net Margin (PBT) at 28.9% • Profit Before Tax (PBT) at Rs. 274.1 Cr, +14.2% YoY • Profit After Tax (PAT) at Rs. 206.4 Cr, +6.0% YoY • Transportation growth at 2.7% QoQ and 15.6% YoY, aided by large deals and sustained traction in Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). • Healthcare growth at 4.6% QoQ and 13.0% YoY, driven by new product engineering and regulatory services. • Media and Communications growth at 0.6% QoQ and 3.4% YoY amidst deteriorated industry environment. • Design Digital leads the way for Industrial Design business growth at 12.8% QoQ, 25% YoY.
