Independent Auditor's review report on review of consolidated unaudited quarterly and year to date financial results of L&T Technology Services Limited pursuant to regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

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 2021 (the Statement'), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended (the 'Listing Regulations').
  • 2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's management and approved by the Parent's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (Ind AS 34'), as prescribed under section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 (the Act'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
  • 3. 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 information 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.

    1. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2021 and the limited reviewed year to date figures up to December 31, 2020.
    1. L&T Technology Services LLC, a US based wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has acquired a 100% stake in a US based company named Orchestra Technology, Inc., effective October 2, 2020. Resultantly, the figures for the current periods are not comparable with the previous periods.
    1. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company has allotted 10,979 equity shares of Rs. 2 each fully paid-up on exercise of stock options by employees in accordance with the Company's stock option scheme.
    1. Estimation uncertainty relating to COVID-19: The Group has considered internal and certain external sources of information including reliable credit reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date of approval of the financial results in determining the impact on various elements of its financial results. The Group has used the principles of prudence in applying judgments, estimates and assumptions including sensitivity analysis and based on current estimates, the Group expects to fully recover the carrying amount of trade receivables including unbilled receivables, intangible assets, and investments. Management of the Group has also reviewed goodwill and is of the opinion that no impairment is required at present. The eventual outcome of impact of the global health pandemic may be different from those estimated as on the date of approval of these financial results.
    1. Figures for earlier periods have been regrouped, wherever necessary.

The Board of Directors of L&T Technology Services Limited

    1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of standalone unaudited financial results of L&T Technology Services Limited (the Company') for the quarter ended 30 June 2021 (the Statement'), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
    1. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's management and has been approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (Ind AS 34'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these standalone unaudited financial results based on our review.
    1. 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. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. Based on our review conducted as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian accounting standards and other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO & MANAGING DIRECTOR

We started the new fiscal with a strong performance despite the pandemic related challenges during the quarter. In Q1, our revenue grew by 4.2% sequentially with four of our five segments growing inline or better than company. I am happy to note that Industrial Products which is our most innovative segment, led with 8% sequential growth, and its quarterly run rate of $40mn has crossed the pre-Covid peak.

Deal traction was healthy in the quarter with 6 deal wins of TCV of USD10mn plus which includes 2 deals with TCV of USD25 million plus. Our innovation engine is matching the pace of our growth as we filed a record 23 patents in Q1. Revenues from digital and leadingedge technologies stood at 54% during the quarter.

On the operational front, we absorbed the wage hikes and improved EBIT margin by 70bps sequentially. The last four consecutive quarters of operating margin improvement has been a result of a gradual portfolio shift towards more digital engineering as well as operational efficiency initiatives around hiring, cross-skilling, productivity improvement and cost optimization.

To further scale and strengthen our technology and capability advantage, we have identified 6 strategic investment areas – Electric Autonomous & Connected Vehicle (EACV), 5G, Med-tech, Digital Manufacturing, AI&ML driven smart offerings and Sustainability. The focus will be on innovation and solution building in these new age areas that will position us as the partner of choice for customers in their next generation product development cycle.

We are confident that the growth will continue to be broad-based. We raise our FY22 USD revenue growth guidance to 15-17%. I am very grateful to our employees for their commitment and passion, and to all our stakeholders for the constant encouragement.
