For the quarter ended June 30, Wipro’s IT servicesNSE 0.46 % revenue grew 0.3 per cent in constant currency to $2.02 billion. In reported currency terms, Wipro’s revenue dropped 1.7 per cent sequentially. Constant currency strips out the volatility due to currency fluctuation. Revenue forecast was $2-2.04 billion. Excluding the impact of the sale of its hosted data centre business, this translates to growth of 0.3-2.3 per cent sequentially in constant currency terms. We believe from a guidance perspective the guidance incorporates what we see right now,” Neemuchwala said.
Sale of data centre business helped boost Wipro’s margin to 17.2 per cent, up from 14.4 per cent at end of March. “Wipro has reported a mixed first quarter. While the IT services revenue was a beat, EBIT margin was a miss. The revenue was in line with our forecast,” Urmil Shah, analyst with IDBI Capital, said.
“There was nothing negative in this quarter, but Wipro is still a long way from catching up with the other companies. It showed a growth in BFSI, which was also seen in other businesses,” an analyst with a Mumbai-based brokerage said, He declined to be identified.
