Mphasis is a leading IT solutions provider, offering applications, BPO and infrastructure services globally through a combination of technology knowhow, domain and process expertise.
Mphasis (then, Mphasis BFL) was formed in June 2000 after the merger of the US-based IT consulting company Mphasis Corporation (founded in 1998) and the Indian IT services company BFL Software (founded in 1993).
Mphasis Q3FY16 results were a mixed bag as dollar revenue declined 3.4 per cent q-o-q dragged by the Hewlett Packard channel; however, the direct channel grew 2.5 per cent q-o-q. Operating profit margin dipped 70 bps q-o-q to 13.2 per cent despite negative impact of salary hike/Chennai shut-down.
Mphasis signed TCV of $61 million driven by digital segment. Growth in Digital Risk is expected to be muted over next the two quarters but we believe IMS/digital segment will continue to drive growth in the direct international business. We cut our FY17/FY18 earnings estimate by 7 per cent/5 per cent due to sharper decline in the HP channel.
