Management Commentary

Mr. Paresh Zaveri, CMD-Aurionpro

Mr. Paresh Zaveri, CMD-Aurionpro said that

“We are pleased to announce Q2 results which show sustained growth momentum for the business, amidst difficult market conditions. In H1-FY23, revenue and profitability, both maintained their growth trajectories of 26% and 43% respectively on a YoY basis. On the back of strong demand and continued disciplined execution of projects from the teams, this momentum is expected to continue and we are well placed to meet our performance target for FY 23 of 30% growth in the topline with sustained margins. Looking beyond this year, strong demand is foreseen across all our key segments and the business remains focused on continuing the growth trajectory as we build on healthy sales momentum and expand capacity to effectively address the demand.

Notwithstanding the strong growth, this was a difficult quarter from execution point of view, mainly due to the extreme rupee depreciation and resulting supply chain issues. As can be seen the debtors have increased disproportionately due to inordinate delays in arrival of material in some large projects under execution. I am happy to report that these issues have now been resolved and most such projects are expected to go-live soon which will ease the debtor position for the business.

During the H1-FY23, we successfully completed our investments in ATAS, Hello Patients and we are on track to complete acquiring 100% ownership of SC Soft in next three months. We expect to build a much stronger balance sheet by the end of this year through the combined effect of a strong second half, resumption of normal business cycle and completion of above investments.

We are pleased with the strong momentum witnessed across all businesses. There are significant opportunities in our Data center and Kiosk businesses.  We continue to execute strongly to convert the long-term, global opportunity for Transit business. Our Banking business continues to get stronger and with our current focus on expanding the sales capability for this business, we expect growth in banking to accelerate in the coming quarters. Our team remains sharply focused on executing with discipline as we continue to scale up the capacity in each of our businesses to leverage these large opportunities and continue our growth journey.”
