Financial Highlights

Hexaware’s Q2CY25 performance reflects solid execution despite a challenging macro environment:

  • Revenue: USD 382.1 million (INR 32,607 million), up 8.6% YoY (USD), 11.1% YoY (INR), 2.8% QoQ (USD), and 1.6% QoQ (INR). Constant currency growth was 7.5% YoY and 1.3% QoQ, slightly below analyst expectations of 2.5% QoQ.

  • EBITDA: USD 65.9 million (INR 5,644 million), up 19.4% YoY and 6.1% QoQ, with a reported margin of 17.2% (up 156 bps YoY, 53 bps QoQ). Adjusted EBITDA was INR 5,900 million with an 18.1% margin, impacted by one-off costs of INR 142 crore, including INR 78.2 crore in customer provisions and INR 12 crore in ERP transformation.

  • Net Profit: INR 3,797 million, up 38.3% YoY and 16.1% QoQ, driven by strong demand and an effective tax rate, per CFO Vikash Jain.

  • EPS: INR 6.25, up 37.7% YoY and 16.2% QoQ, reflecting robust profitability.

  • Cash Position: INR 19,248 million in cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2025, with adjusted cash conversion at 75.5% LTM and LTM OCF/Reported EBITDA at 79.4%.

Strategic Moves and Challenges

Hexaware added one client to its USD 50M+ annual billing category, reaching four, and secured key wins, including legacy modernization with RapidX™ for a major airline and AI-driven services for a US fintech firm. The USD 120 million acquisition of SMC Squared LLC strengthens its global capability center (GCC) expertise. However, a 7.13% stock drop to INR 767.65, wiping out INR 58.95 per share, reflected investor concerns over one-off expenses and a 1.3% constant currency growth miss versus 2.5% expectations. EBITDA margins fell to 12.4% from 14.7% YoY due to these costs, though adjusted margins held at 18.1%.

Market Position and Impact

With 32,410 employees across 28 countries, Hexaware serves 31 Fortune 500 clients, including top banks and fintech firms, leveraging AI platforms like Amaze® and RapidX™. Its market cap stands at INR 50,338 crore, despite a 7% stock decline. The $500 billion IT services market, with 60% of enterprises prioritizing AI-driven transformation per 2025 reports, is projected to reach $700 billion by 2030. Hexaware’s #1 ranking in the 2025 Whitelane Research IT Sourcing Study for UK & Ireland and low 11.1% IT attrition rate bolster its competitive edge against peers like Infosys and TCS.

Industry Context and Sentiment

The IT services sector faces delayed large-deal decisions, with 50% of firms citing economic uncertainty, per 2025 reports. Posts on X reflect mixed sentiment: @CNBCTV18Live and @gaze_observer noted margin pressure and weak EBITDA ex-other income, while @EquiNews_India and @Investor_Feed praised revenue and EPS growth. Hexaware’s acquisition and interim dividend of INR 5.75/share signal confidence, but subdued large-deal expectations temper outlook. Its May 2025 Colombia subsidiary plan with a USD 2M investment further diversifies its footprint.

Hexaware’s Q2CY25 results highlight resilience and AI-driven innovation, positioning it for sustained growth despite near-term challenges in the global IT services landscape.
