Management Comments

Commenting on the results, Mr. BVR Mohan Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director, said, "We delivered a stable revenue performance at Rs. 2,441 million as compared to Rs. 2,391 million in the previous quarter, recording a 2.1% increase over the sequential quarter and a 3.9% increase over corresponding quarter of the preceding year. In $ terms, we delivered revenues of $ 53 million, recording a 3.7% increase over the sequential quarter and a 12.6% increase over corresponding quarter of the preceding year.

For the full year FY 2010, we recorded revenues of Rs. 9,531 million, which is a 7.1% increase over FY 09.

We achieved two major milestones in the history of the company this year - the total income for the year has reached Rs. 1,000 crores (Rs. 9,994.9 million) and revenues for the year have crossed $ 200 million.

Despite the last year being extremely challenging for the industry due to global financial meltdown and adverse currency markets, we have been able to improve our operating margins by 180 basis points over last year. We have also shown strong volume growth in both our business segments and we grew in all geographies we operate.

We are seeing good momentum in Manufacturing, Telecom and Hitech segments. Our revenue contributions from Top 10 customers have increased year on year and this indicates strong customer relationships and confirms their confidence in us. We continue to de-risk our revenue contribution through our excellent geographic spread.

We signed long term engineering services contract with Seawell for setting up an engineering design centre. Seawell is a global oilfield service company and provides drilling services and well services to Oil and Gas companies worldwide.

We continue to have a strong balance sheet with cash balance of Rs. 383.6 crores."
