NEW DELHI – LTIMindtree Ltd. beat Street expectations on its bottom line growth with its consolidated net profit rising 11% sequentially to INR 12.54 billion in the June quarter from INR 11.29 billion in the previous quarter. Analysts had estimated the net profit to be INR 11.91 billion. The net profit was boosted by a jump in other income and a decline in employee benefit cost that form a big chunk of the total operating expenses of the company.
The revenue from operations of the company, which is a technology consultancy and digital solutions subsidiary of engineering major Larsen and Toubro Ltd., increased 0.7% on quarter to INR 98.41 billion from INR 97.72 billion. There was a 56% sequential jump in the other income of the company to INR 3.92 billion. The employee benefits expenses declined 1.4% on quarter to INR 63.81 billion.
The employee costs recorded a sequential decline in the June quarter after five consecutive quarters of increase. The other income rise of 56% was substantial and the last time when other income had recorded a higher sequential rise was in the June quarter of 2023-24 (Apr-Mar) when it had nearly doubled sequentially.
The reported revenue from operations of INR 98.41 billion for the June quarter nearly met the Street view of INR 98.42 billion. In constant currency terms, the consolidated revenue was up 0.8% on quarter. Compared with the year-ago period, the revenue was up 4.4% in constant currency terms and 7.6% in Indian rupee terms.
Aided by a decline in staff cost which made up for 75% of the total expenses in the June quarter, the consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation margin went up to 16.8% from 16.3% in the March quarter. The EBIT margin moved up to 14.3% from 13.8% in the previous quarter. The reported EBIT margin of 14.3% was also in line with analysts' estimate of 14.26%.
In value terms, LTIMindtree's consolidated EBITDA increased 3.3% sequentially to INR 16.49 billion, and the EBIT went up 4.5% to 14.07 billion. The company said it added 17 new clients in the June quarter but the total number of active clients was unchanged at 741 at the end of June quarter as compared to the end of the previous quarter.
The order inflow of the company was slightly higher in the June quarter at $1.63 billion from $1.60 billion in the previous quarter. The utilisation, excluding trainees, increased sequentially to 88.1% from 85.8%. The free cash flow of the company was slightly down on quarter to INR 7.61 billion from INR 7.64 billion.
The total headcount of LTIMindtree declined to 83,889 in the June quarter from 84,307 from the previous quarter. The trailing 12-month attrition was unchanged sequentially at 14.4%, the company said.
"We had a promising start to the year delivering broad-based growth, expanding margins, and making significant progress on our strategic priorities," said LTIMindtree's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Venu Lambu in a press release. "While the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, I'm confident that our disciplined execution and unwavering client focus will continue to drive our performance," he added.

Nearly 75% of LTIMindtree's June quarter revenues were contributed by its operations in North America. Its revenues from that region grew only 1.8% sequentially in the June quarter, but grew at a faster 4.2% on year. Europe, which contributes almost 15% to the company's overall sales, grew nearly 10% sequentially and 7% on year.
