NIIT Ltd Q3FY15, performance was mixed bag. Revenue went up 6.3% Y/Y to
Rs.2,482 mn (v/s INSPL est. Rs.2,310 mn) led by 28.4%/680.0% Y/Y increase in
CLS and Skill segment, partially offset by 16.1%/11.5% Y/Y decline in ILS and
SLS segment. EBITDA went down 60.1% Y/Y to Rs.57 mn (v/s INSP est. Rs.169
mn) led by 760%/60% Y/Y decline in ILS and SLS segment EBITDA, respectively,
and continued loss in SKIL segment EBITDA. This was partially offset by
18.8% Y/Y growth in CLS segment EBITDA. The negative surprise on EBITDA
front was due to lesser operating efficiency on ILS and SLS front and
investment in transformation initiatives. Depreciation, charges during the
quarter went down 17.4% Y/Y to Rs. 152 mn due to decline in government
school business. The management expect further decline in depreciation
expenditure in FY16 on back of closure of few more government school
contracts. During the quarter, NIIT reported other income (Inc. Interest &
forex) of Rs.4 mn (v/s negative 46 mn in Q3FY14). Tax expenditure during the
quarter stood at Rs.4 mn (v/s Rs.14 mn in Q3FY14). Excluding associates
profit, the company reported the net loss of Rs.-95mn (v/s -Rs.101 mn in
Q3FY14). Associate net profit stood at Rs.114 mn (v/s 113 mn in Q3FY14).
The reported net profit was Rs.19 mn way below INSPL estimate of Rs.94 mn.
The sudden dip in EBITDA margin performance indicates that the transition phase
for NIIT Ltd is still not over. One of the largest revenue-contributing segments ‘ILS &
SLS’ still continue to bleed. Along with this the required uptake in Non-Gov School
business is getting delayed. Additionally, new skill development segment is likely to
report losses over near-to-medium-term. The only solace is higher revenue growth
and profitability in CLS segment. The uptake in discretionary IT budget could lead to
increase in IT-fresher hiring and likely to improve the operating efficiency of ILS
segment. However, the company’s dependence on IT heavy business model is taking
more than expected time to show turnaround.

Key Conference Call Takeaways
ILS Segment: underperformance continues...
■
During the quarter, Non-IT segment contribute 33% to net ILS revenues but
demonstrated 1.2% Y/Y de-growth in revenue. The total ILS enrolments degrew by 13.1% Y/Y to 56,126 students. Overall ILS revenue went down 16.1%
Y/Y to Rs.769 mn. During the quarter, ILS segment contributed 31% to the
overall company level Revenue but reported loss at EBITDA level. ILS segment
reported EBITDA loss of Rs.99 mn [v/s profit of Rs.15 mn in Q3FY14] due to
lower revenue base.
■
The negatives of ILS performance were as follows: (1) double-digit revenue
decline along with EBITDA level loss, (2) de-growth (1.2% Y/Y) in non-IT revenue,
and (3) double-digit decline in ILS enrolment.
■
In conference call, management sounded positive on IT hiring environment
going ahead on back of peak utilization level. Additionally, the launch of

Result Update (contd...)
various new courses on cloud platform should lead to higher revenue and
margin going ahead. The contribution from cloud campus could reach nearly
75% of ILS revenue in long run. Further, expansion of NIIT one world program
in large number of centres remains a key margin lever. The introduction of
New-IT courses [cloud/mobility/ collaboration/ enterprise] could foster
overall growth.
CLS Segment: Consistent outperformer...
■
During the quarter, CLS segment reported fresh orders intake of $24 mn (v/s
$21 mn in Q3FY14). As a result, despite timely execution its pending order
book stood at $65 mn v/s $60mn in Q3FY14. Further, executable order book
in next 12M grew by 13.4% Y/Y to $47 mn (v/s $42 mn in Q3FY14), indicates
robust FY15 revenue outlook. Managed training solutions (MTS) segment
revenue went up 36.3% Y/Y and contributed 87% to CLS revenue.
■
The management expect FY15 revenue growth in range of 20-25% and expect
CLS contribution to increase 55% (v/s 42% in FY14) of the overall revenue.
CLS segment revenue and EBITDA contributed 55% and 227% to overall revenue
and EBITDA, respectively for the quarter. During the quarter, company added
4 new clients in MTS segment leading to total 27 clients.
SLS Segment: de-growth in NGSA segment…
■
School learning solutions (SLS) segment revenue de-grew 11.5% Y/Y to Rs.121
mn. During the quarter, the non-government school (NGSA) revenue went
down 18.8% Y/Y to Rs.121 mn. Additionally, GSA segment de-grew by 6.3% Y/
Y (to Rs.193 mn). After completion of one GSA contract, the total Gov-School
(GSA) reduced by 1,870 to 9,338 schools. In FY16, various other states Govschool (GSA) contracts are expect to be close. As a result, we expect further
decline in depreciation expenditure in FY16. The major Gov-school (GSA)
projects are due to close on FY16/FY17.
■
During the quarter, fresh order intake was Rs.130 mn leading to executable
12M order backlog of Rs.1,017 mn. As expected nGuru gained traction
amongst PVT schools, added 125 schools during the quarter. We believe this
could be a significant revenue contributor to SLS segment revenue going
ahead.
■
Private school addition during the quarter was 69 [v/s 95 in Q3FY14] leading
to Pvt-school base of 4,370 schools. During the quarter, SLS segment
contributed 13%/14% to overall revenue and EBITDA. The management expect
PVT school contribution to SLS segment could increase to 84% by FY16 [v/s
39% in Q3FY15] and expect EBITDA margin to reach at ~18% [v/s 2.5% in
Q3FY15] by FY16.
Valuations
At CMP of Rs.46, the stock is trading at 32.3x FY15E, 13.3x FY16E, and 12.1x FY17E
earnings estimate. We are extremely disappointed by the company’s performance
in ILS (Non –IT De-growth) and SLS (NGSA de-growth) segment. Only solace during
the quarter was CLS performance. The company’s dependence on IT heavy business
model and shift in IT companies’ business model from linear to non-liner is taking
more than expected time to show turnaround. In our view, the recent initiatives [(1)
increasing presence of Non-IT business in ILS segment, (2) reduction of capex
intensive government school business, and (3) high growth in MTS business] might
take more than expected time to deliver actual benefit, as there are too many
moving parts in the company. As a result, we reduce our target price to Rs.37 (10x
FY17E) from Rs.55 and downgrade our rating to SELL from BUY.
