Intellect Design Arena
Steady Q1 on rev & margins, lower target on rights dilution; Buy
Intellect had a stable Q1: revenue at $37.4m, flat q/q, up 22% y/y, in
line with estimates. The benefits of more revenue and a high operating-
leverage-driven model resulted in a much higher Q1 FY18 adj EBITDA
margin of 5.6% (-6.5% a year ago). With costs now stable, it had a
second consecutive quarter of profits. We retain a Buy but reduce our
target to `150 (1.6x FY19 EV:sales) from `175 earlier, on 23% rights
dilution and currency movements.
Steady cost structures. Intellect suffered from variability in both revenue and
cost till Q3 FY17. Revenue, at this scale, will arguably be volatile for a few more
quarters but is clearly trending up (FY15: $99m; FY18e $156m, all organic). The
company achieved stable costs (and positive EBITDA) in the last six months
and now doesn’t anticipate further increases. Therefore, a large part (~70%) of
further revenue should flow to EBITDA, from Q2 FY18.
Low tangible and stable R&D capex (of `1bn) to drive FCF in FY19.
Intellect’s capex on infrastructure is complete. It now expects just `400m-
500m maintenance capex (down 40% from FY16). This, coupled with a ~7-
day reduction in receivables (to 155) and rights proceeds (`2bn) will make for
a comfortable balance sheet. We estimate it should turn FCF positive in
FY19.
Amortisation to start from H2 FY18. Intellect may see an increase in D&A
expenditure from H2 FY18 as amortisation of capitalised R&D kicks in. This
is done over a period of five years from the date of launch of a product and is
built into our estimates.
Retaining a Buy; estimate changes reflect currency movements. We
retain our revenue estimates largely, but lower EBITDA by ~5%, primarily
due to currency movements. We also build in a 23% dilution due to the rights
issue at `86 a share (14% below the CMP). These changes lead to a new target
of `150 (1.6x FY19 EV:sales, a 15% discount to Majesco, reflecting lower
profitability). Risk: Sharp rupee appreciation.

Conference call takeaways/other
details
There was no conference call in Q1 FY18 as the company was in a rights
issue process.
Here are the other details from results:
The business environment overall continues to be strong for BFSI
products as judged by the deal pipeline. Therefore, Intellect’s revenue
continues to scale up. We expect it to end the year with a comfortable
14% revenue growth in dollar terms.
The rights issue closed on 9th Aug’17.
R&D expenditure continues at ~`1bn a year. In Q1 FY18, there seems
to be additional capitalisation of `26m compared to Q4 FY17. This
benefitted the reported EBITDA by the same amount.
Intellect has a workforce of ~4,300, of which 1,500-1,600 are deployed
in R&D (new product developments).
The tax rate is a function of which subsidiaries and regions are turning
profitable. Therefore, “percent” may be misleading regarding an
effective tax rate. In absolute terms, the tax rate may hold at similar
levels as in Q1 FY18.
The Bangladesh subsidiary had a large proportion of revenues this
quarter and that led to the dramatic increase in minority interest for the
quarter. This will be normalized from next quarter.
Capex would be low as infrastructure needs are complete and the
business model is non-linear. R&D will be the major recurring capex.
Amortisation of new software will start in Q2 FY18 and increase
overall depreciation in FY19. We expect `130m amortization vs.
`1,000m R&D capitalisation in FY19.

Valuations
We have valued the stock on EV/sales, of 1.6x FY19e and an implied PE
of 20x. We retain our Buy recommendation with a new target of `150,
reflecting our optimism regarding Intellect’s ability to scale up revenues and
the efficacy of the cost-management programs in Q4 FY17 and Q1 FY18.
The company needs to deliver growth to create value and generate returns
for shareholders. Since most of its costs are fixed, it tends to suffer greater
losses in periods of slow growth (as in most of FY17). We believe that, at
this stage, the single most important variable for it is revenue growth. We,
therefore, continue to value it on EV:sales.
Capex is almost complete and will continue to trend lower, at ~`300m-
400m, further requirement being restricted to new-product development,
estimated at `1bn a year.
Revenue growth is coming along well, adjusted for overall weakness in the
industry. Margins are also turning out to be better now as the company
focuses on cost rationalisation and balances out disproportionate spending
on SG&A.
The positive thing about Intellect is that it can, at its discretion, decide to
cut costs as and when needed; it exercised this option in Q4 FY17 to
demonstrate the profitability of the underlying business model. We saw this
continued focus on managing costs in Q1 FY18.

Risks
Business: Intellect operates in an industry (BFSI/discretionary
spending), currently traversing some turbulence on account of BRexit.
Its revenue targets/guidance may be affected by some of these
unforeseen circumstances. Of its revenue, 33% arises from Europe.
Sharp rupee appreciation.
