PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISSEMINATION

STL delivers 63% growth, sets up FY20 for large data network innovations

  • Delivers yet another strong quarter of superior operating and financial performance, driven by increased global customer engagements and unified solutions for new disruptive networks
  • Commissioned mega expansion of 20 million fkm industry 4.0 facility on schedule
  • Continued to maintain healthy order book of almost Rs 10,000 crore

Pune, India – July 18, 2019: Sterlite Technologies Ltd - STL [BSE: 532374, NSE: STRTECH], a global data network solutions company, today announced a successful start to FY20 with excellent results for Q1FY20, with 63% YoY revenue growth. With sustained focus and investments in technology, STL delivered yet another quarter of superior operating and financial performance. This is driven by increased global customer engagement and unified solution offerings for new high capacity, lowlatency, disaggregated networks for their customers.

As consumers demand more data at faster speeds, there is increasing demand for end-to-end data network solutions, higher capacity connections, deeper and denser deployment and better customer experience. STL has been innovating across its suite of data network solutions to deliver more, faster, better integrated solutions to its customers across Telcos, Cloud Companies, Citizen Networks and Large Enterprises.

Innovating for today

Comprehensive network and data centre design and deployment for the Navy. STL has successfully delivered the complex design for the Navy's pan-country communication network, across 33 coastal and remote island sites, through its innovative iCORE converged network framework. The project is being delivered at multiple locations throughout the country on schedule.

Hyperscale high fibre count cables that are 30% smaller for data centre applications. Its innovative TruRibbon solution with extremely high fibre count and a specialty fibre product is being developed for the world's top cloud providers.

Industry 4.0 smart plant. STL has commissioned its world-leading, industry 4.0 integrated silicon-tofibre plant within the stipulated timeline of June 2019. This enables it to speed up its innovation engine for photonics such as speciality and high capacity fibre technology and fibre optic sensing solutions.

Disrupting for tomorrow

Beyond today's needs, the spread of 5G and FTTx across the globe, is driving up network demand for end-to-end network solutions by over 10-20x. Given the fundamental shift required to meet this demand, STL has been actively participating to build disruptive software-defined networking solutions.

Programmable network solutions. STL has successfully tested programmable WiFi solutions for global digital providers' consumer use cases. It has also become among the very first companies in the world to successfully run at-scale benchmark tests on ONF (Open Networking Foundation) compliant programmable FTTx solutions. These solutions are precursors to STL's launch of PODS (Programmable, Open, Disaggregated Solutions) later this year.

AI powered business intelligence platform. STL launched Intellza – an AI powered Big Data nextgeneration business intelligence solution that helps analyse telco user data to make real-time network and customer targeting decisions which is being deployed at a top Indian telco for increasing customer retention.

Q1FY20 Financial Highlights

As the company saw adoption of its new technology solutions across customer segments and markets, Q1FY20 saw YoY growth across all financial performance metrics. Highlights below:

  • Revenue: Rs 1,432 crore, up 63% YoY
  • EBITDA : Rs 332 crore, up 32% YoY
  • ROCE: 28%
  • Open order book: Rs 9,853 crore
  • Exports At 36% of revenue, up 33% YoY

"We have just begun to see the first few years of data consumption and data networks era. The next decade will see over 20-50 times growth of data and the corresponding networks. This is the time to bring disruption in every aspect of data network design, creation and management," says Anand Agarwal, Group CEO, STL. "We are fortunate to be there since the beginning of this network creation cycle, and are extremely excited to become more and more relevant to our global customers. We will continue to innovate across our core expertise, from photonics, precision manufacturing and programmable network design to network delivery, upgradation and management. As we bring together these capabilities, we will help our customers deliver the highest quality data networks to transform the everyday lives of people across the globe."

DR. ANAND AGARWAL CEO & WHOLE TIME DIRECTOR

Notes:

1.The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 18, 2019 have approved the above results.

2.The above statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind-AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies to the extent applicable.

  1. The Company has only one operating segment which is Connectivity and Network Solutions (earlier known as "Telecom Products and Solutions"). Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed .

  2. During the year 2005-06, the CESTAT had upheld a demand of Rs. 188 crore (including penalties but excluding interest thereon) in a disputed Excise matter. The Company is contesting this case and the matter is pending for decision with the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The auditors have qualified their review report with respect to this matter staling their inability to quantify the amount of expected liability.

  3. Effective April 1, 2019, the Group has adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" using modified retrospective approach. Consequently, the Company has recorded lease liability of Rs. 124.30 crores calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. Right of use asset has been recognised at Rs. 108.27 crores determined at net of the amount calculated by applying the standard since the date of the commencement of lease and the resulting depreciation upto the date of adoption. The net effect of initial application of Ind AS 116 has been adjusted to retained earnings as on April 1, 2019.

Due to transition, the nature of expenses in respect of operating leases has changed from "lease rent" to "depreciation cost" and ''finance cost'' for the right-to-use assets and for interest accrued on lease liability respectively, and therefore these expenses for the current period are not comparable to the previous periods disclosed. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the profit for the period as compared to previous periods.

  1. During the year 2015-16, the Company had acquired 100% of the paid up equity share capital of Elitecore Technologies Private Limited ('ETPL'). a global telecom software product company. ETPL has been merged with the Company with the appointed date of September 29, 201 5 under a scheme of amalgamation approved by Hon'ble Bombay High Court and Gujarat High Court (the "Scheme").

Goodwill (excess of purchase consideration over the aggregate book value of the net assets acquired) is being amortised over a period of five years, as per the Scheme. Ind-AS does not allow amortisation of goodwill, which amounted to Rs.7.37 crore for the quarter. Consequently, the auditors have included an emphasis of matter paragraph in regards to this matter.

  1. Loss from discontinued operations pertains to Maharashtra Transmission Communication Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary of the company. During the previous year, management received a letter from Department of Telecommunication rejecting company's application for transfer of entity. The company has filed a letter seeking justification for such rejection. Pending response from the department, the company is committed to the sale of MTCIL post requisite regulatory approvals.

  2. The company, on 20th July 2018 (the "Acquisition date"), through its subsidiary Sterlite Technologies S.p.A, acquired 100% equity of Metallurglca Bresciana S.p.A (Metallurgica) for a purchase consideration of Euro 4.65 crores. In the last quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company has completed the allocation of purchase price to identified assets and liabilities as at acquisition date fair value as per Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations and recognised goodwill amounting to Euro 0.77 crores. The Management does not expect any further significant changes to the goodwill amount recognised till the end of measurement period. The financial results of Metallurgica have been consolidated for the period from January 01, 2019 to March 31, 2019 which is the most recent financial information available with the Management. Due to acquisition, the numbers of the current period are not comparable to the previous periods disclosed.

  3. Previous period figures have been regrouped I rearranged wherever considered necessary.

DR. ANAND AGARWAL CEO 4 WHOLE TIME Dl"ECTOR

The Board of Directors Sterlite Technologies Limited Godrej Millenium, 9, Kon~g:rnn Road, Pune-411 001

    1. We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated financial results of Sterlite Technologies Limited (the "Parent"), its subsidiaries (the parent and its subsidiaries hereinafter referred to as the "Group"), jointly controlled entity and associate company for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 which are included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Results together with the notes thereon (the "Statement"). The Statement is being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, which has been initialled by us for identification purposes.
  • 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 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. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
    1. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (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 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.

This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement.
    1. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. We draw your attention to Note 4 to the Statement, which states that the Company in an earlier year received an order of CESTAT upholding a demand of Rs. 188 crores (including penalties but excluding interest) (Rs.188 crores as at March 31, 2019) in relation to an excise / customs matter. The Company's appeal against this order with the Honourable Supreme Court has been admitted. Based on the current status and legal advice received, the management has recognised a provision amounting to Rs. 4.5 crores as on June 30, 2019, (Rs-4.5 crores as on March 31, 2019) in respect of this matter based on its best estimate. Pending disposal of the matter by the Honourable Supreme Court, we are unable to comment on the adequacy of the provision made towards the amount of excise / customs duty payable.
    1. Based on our review conducted as above, except for the indeterminate effect of the matter referred in paragraph 4 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Statement has not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies, and has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
