Review report to The Board of Directors of L&T Technology Services Limited
- 1 We have reviewed the accompanying statement of consolidated unaudited financial results of L&T Technology Services Limited (
the Parent') and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group') for the quarter ended 30 June 2019 (the Statement'), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirements of regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended. -

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial infolination consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under regulation 33(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Explanatory notes to the statement of consolidated unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019
-
- The consolidated unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 have been taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 19, 2019. The statutory auditors have carried out limited review of the above consolidated unaudited financial results and have issued an unqualified limited review report. The results for quarter ended June 30, 2019 are extracted from the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. These consolidated unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the relevant rules.
-
- The consolidated unaudited financial results are available on the website of LEtT Technology Services Limited (Company) viz. www.ltts.com and on the websites of BSE (www.bseindia.com) and NSE (www.nseindia.com). The specified items of the standalone unaudited financial results of the Company are given below:

| Profit after tax | 1,980 | 1,851 | 1,443 | 7,001 |
-
- During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company has allotted 8,185 equity shares of 2 each, fully paid-up, on exercise of stock options by employees, in accordance with the Company's stock option scheme.
-
- The Group adopted Ind AS 116 Leases on April 1, 2019 by using modified retrospective approach and accordingly comparatives for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. Consequently, the Group has not restated comparative figures and the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as on April 1, 2019. Adoption of Ind AS 116 on transition date resulted in creation of right of use assets by 3,333 million and an increase in lease liability by 3,674 million with corresponding charge to retained earnings of 345 million (net of taxes).
In the results for current period, the nature of expense in respect of operating leases has changed from lease rent in previous periods to depreciation cost for the right-of-use asset and finance cost for interest accrued on lease liability. Accordingly, the Group has recognized interest expense on lease liabilities amounting to 86 million and depreciation on right-ofuse assets amounting to 179 million against the lease rent of 232 million which would have been recognised under the erstwhile Standard. Owing to adoption of Ind AS 116, profit after tax is lower by 27 million.
-
- The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2019 and the limited reviewed year to date figures up to December 31, 2018.
-
- Figures for earlier periods have been regrouped, wherever necessary.

Certain statements in this release concerning our future growth prospects are forward-looking statements, which involve number of risks, and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO & MANAGING DIRECTOR
We had a strong quarter in four of our five segments – Industrial Products, Transportation, Medical and Process Industry, with sequential growth accelerating in Q1 as compared to Q4 on the back of multiple deal wins, good deal conversions and investments in labs. Digital & leading-edge technologies - the growth driver for ER&D, contributed to 37% of Q1 revenues and grew by 44% YoY. Customers are leveraging our capabilities in smart buildings and energy management for Industrial Products, IoT & telematics in Transportation, asset digitization in Plant Engineering, and connected healthcare in Medical.
The overall growth in Q1 was restricted to 1.4% on sequential basis, on account of some challenges that we faced in Telecom & Hitech. Our performance in Telecom & Hitech was impacted by re-prioritization of spends in the Semiconductor sub-segment, which along with the headwinds at one of our customers that we reported in Q4FY19, further constrained our efforts to drive growth in this segment. We are however confident about our capabilities and competitive position, which is reflected in the large deals that we won in Q1 in the areas of physical design and next generation video equipment, and the strong deal pipeline.
Innovation and speed-to-market are key priorities for our customers, and our end-end capabilities spanning product and process engineering is enabling us to engage with them at a more strategic level. We have been consistently winning large deals across segments every quarter and the increasing deal sizes in our pipeline reflect this trend. In Q1 we won 7 multi-million dollar deals across all major industry segments. Our client penetration metrics have seen improvement and on a YoY basis, LTTS has increased its USD20mn+ clients by 2 and its USD10mn+ clients by 5.
We remain optimistic on growth, although the loss of momentum in the Telecom and Hitech Vertical in Q1 leads us to revise our USD revenue growth guidance to 12-14% for FY20.
I would like to highlight two achievements during the quarter - Honda conferred LTTS with the 'Performance Excellence Award' for exceeding performance standards including quality, cost and service, and secondly LTTS was appraised with Maturity Level 5 in CMMI V2.0.
Thanking all our stakeholders for the continued support and encouragement.
Dr. Keshab Panda CEO & Managing Director L&T Technology Services Limited

NOTES
-
- LTTS has adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" on April 1, 2019 by using modified retrospective approach and accordingly comparatives for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted. As on April 1, 2019, the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard has resulted in creation of right of use assets by ₹ 3,333 million (grouped under Property and equipment) and an increase in lease liability by ₹ 3,674 million (grouped under current liabilities and non-current liabilities) with corresponding charge to retained earnings of ₹ 345 million (net of taxes).
-
- In Q1FY20 results, the nature of expense in respect of operating leases has changed from lease rent in previous periods to depreciation cost for the right-of-use asset and finance cost for interest accrued on lease liability. Accordingly, instead of lease rent of ₹ 232 million which would have been recognised under the erstwhile Standard, interest expense on lease liabilities amounting to ₹ 86 million and depreciation on right-of- use assets amounting to ₹ 179 million has been recorded in the Income statement, and the lease rent of ₹ 232 million has been classified as financing cash flow in the Cash flow statement.
-
- The changes to the Income Statement due to the adoption of Ind AS 116 is as below:
| Income Statement item | Q1 FY20 (reported) | Change due to Ind AS 116 | Q1 FY20 (proforma w/o Ind AS 116) |
