Wipro net rises, guidance flat

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
The country’s third-largest software firm, Wipro, beat its own guidance and outperformed market forecasts to post a 12% rise in net profit at Rs 1,016 crore for the quarter ended June 30, compared with the same quarter last fiscal. This is in line with its two bigger rivals, TCS and Infosys, whose quarterly numbers also surpassed market expectations.

The company’s revenue stood at Rs 6,274 crore, up 5% year-on-year, but down 2.7% sequentially, according to Indian GAAP. However, net profit was marginally up sequentially at 0.6%. Revenues from IT services, which accounted for over two-thirds, were at Rs 4,825 crore, an increase of 10% y-o-y, but down 2.2% sequentially. In dollar terms, Wipro’s IT revenues stood at $1,033 million.

The company attributed growth in the quarter to deals won in India and the Middle East.

Satyam unveils results

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
Barely days before Tech Mahindra’s open offer for an additional 20% stake, Satyam Computer Services made public the unaudited financial details that it had shared with bidders earlier. In a filing with exchanges, Satyam said soon after founder B Ramalinga Raju confessed to perpetrating a Rs 7,000-crore fraud in early January, the company lost about $183 million in contracts from 56 clients up to March 26.

However, Satyam says it received new business orders from 215 mostly existing customers with contract values totalling $380 million during the same period. The company had a bank balance of Rs 373 crore at the end of March 2009, but outstanding bank loans worth Rs 469 crore.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the company had a PAT of Rs 181 crore on revenues of Rs 2,206 crore. Figures for the same period the previous year were not available for comparison. In January, Satyam had a PAT of Rs 4 crore on revenues of Rs 647 crore, and for February, it had a PAT of Rs 52 crore on revenues of Rs 637 crore.
