 Total                             100.0    could be seen from Q2FY21 onwards whereas Retail segment might take some time to recover. We expect a repeat of past post crisis
                                            opportunity for IT services when it benefitted out of a wave of fresh outsourcing and offshoring demand given India’s large pool of

           Recent Developments
           Below expectation Q1FY21 numbers, while deals intake remained robust
           TCS reported below expectation numbers in Q1FY21, dented by lockdown-led supply and demand challenges. Consolidated net profit was
           down by 12.9 per cent (QoQ) to Rs 7,008 crore, impacted by lower other income. Consolidated revenue declined 4.1 per cent (QoQ) to Rs
           38,322 crore due to COVID-19 pandemic and it impacted all segments barring BFSI. However, revenue increased 0.4 per cent (YoY).
           Revenue in constant currency for the quarter dropped 6.9 per cent (QoQ), constant currency revenue growth in Q4FY20 was at 3 per cent
           and 10.6 per cent in Q1FY20 on QoQ basis. On the operating front, EBIT declined 9.7 per cent (QoQ) to Rs 9,048 crore and margin fell 148
           bps (QoQ) to 23.6 per cent in Q1FY21. Net profit was down by 12.9 per cent (QoQ) and 13.8 per cent (YoY) to Rs 7,008 crore.

           TCS deal wins remained robust at US$ 6.9bn in Q1FY21, vs. US$ 8.9bn in Q4FY20. TCS reported a robust YoY jump of 21% in TCV in
           Q1FY21. Of the deal wins reported in Q1FY21 at US$ 6.9bn, the US geography contributed US$ 3.3bn.The BFSI and Retail vertical
           contributed US$ 2.1bn and US$ 0.9bn, respectively. Four clients were added in the US$ 100mn+ bracket, 11 in the US$ 20mn+ bracket and
           13 in the US$ 5mn+ band. Company expects a more balanced pipeline going forward.

                                                                                                                                                       3
TCS Ltd.
           Recent deal wins display TCS’ ability to capitalize its domain expertise and close multiple managed service deals.
           American pharmacy retailer Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has expanded its strategic partnership with IT services provider Tata
           Consultancy Services (TCS) in February this year. The 10-year deal, valued at over $1.5 billion, is part of WBA’s initiative to advance the
           transformation of its global IT operation to fast-track digitisation and drive efficiencies. TCS will launch a new operating model for IT run
           and operational services, enabling WBA to accelerate its digitization programme to advance innovation for customers, drive
           organizational efficiencies across the company and further reduce its cost base.
           Long term Triggers
           Diversified portfolio, strong client base with high repeat business
           TCS offers a diversified portfolio of services, including consulting and service integration, digital transformation services and cognitive
           business operations. Based on industry classification, the company has five key verticals: (1) banking, financial services and insurance
           (BFSI), (2) retail and consumer business, (3) communication, media and technology, (4) manufacturing, and (5) others. The last category
           includes life sciences and healthcare, technology and services, energy, resources and utilities, and others.
           The company has a large, diversified and growing client base with meaningful incremental addition of clients in the above $20 million,
           $50-million and $100-million buckets in FY20. Its superior execution ability has resulted in high repeat business, thus providing stability to
           the revenue stream.
           TCS is the industry ‘gold standard’ and is likely to be a big beneficiary of vendor consolidation, supported by its scale and end-to-end
           services capability. The seamless virtual environment of deal closure, transition and execution of large deals has also lowered the supply-
           related risks.
           In times of Work From Home, client relationships could be as a key factor in signing large contracts virtually. TCS’ wide client base of more
           than 1000 as of FY20 with about 100 of them generating >$50mn annual revenue and wide geographic presence could provide a strong
           base to gain market share with its existing client base.
           Focused on increasing share of digital business
           TCS’ ability to offer full service capability has helped it win deals across a wide spectrum of verticals. It has also demonstrated the ability
           to structure and execute large-scale projects globally, enabling it to continually gain market share over its competitors in the past five
           fiscals. TCS has made significant organic investments in manpower training and developing capabilities, which has helped it to drive high

                                                                                                                                                        4
TCS Ltd.
           sequential growth in its digital business and win transformational digital deals. This has led to an improvement in the share of its digital
           business, which stood at more than 33 per cent.
           Demand is expected to increase for services around digital channels, collaboration and workplace transformation, online learning and
           workforce analytics. TCS’ spend on R&D and innovation centre expenditure (1.2% of revenue) increased by 12.5% in FY20 as compared to
           revenue growth of 7.2%. Technology is seen as a source of competitive differentiation in every industry and technology intensity or
           spends on technology as a percentage of revenue will rise in the medium to long term.
           Robust financial profile, given healthy profitability, cash accruals and robust liquidity position
           TCS’ revenue declined in 1QFY21, 20% was attributable to supply side issues, it is likely to be resolved going forward as economies start up
           again. However, TCS’ financial profile remains robust as reflected in its high operating profitability, strong capital structure and robust
           liquidity position in the form of a strong cash and equivalents balance of Rs. 39,465cr as on June 30, 2020. TCS has been consistently able
           to generate strong cash flow from operations supported by its healthy operating profitability and controlled working capital intensity.
           Due to higher profitability compared to its peers, Company has been enjoying with higher return ratio over the past, RoE stood at 38.4 per
           cent in FY20 and we expect the same to be maintained going forward.
           TCS has declared an interim dividend of Rs 5 per Equity Share of Re 1 each of the Company. Despite the high dividend payouts and
           buybacks during the current and past two fiscals, the company’s liquidity is expected to remain strong given the high recurring operating
           cash flows.
           TCS’s FY20 annual report reflects its massive average cash distribution of Rs300bn over the past three years. The company’s Operating
           Cashflow has been consistently 96% of profits for the last three years. Continuity in the payout levels, greater thrust towards WFH (SBWS
           operating framework) will be RoE accretive.
           What could go wrong?
            COVID-19 pandemic, INR appreciation against the USD, geopolitical uncertainty, pricing pressure, stricter immigration as well as
              outsourcing norms, higher visa cost and H-1B and L1 visas cancellation by US authority are key concern.
            An US appeals court upheld compensatory damages of US$ 140 million against TCS in an intellectual property lawsuit filed by Epic
              Systems Corp. The Verona, Wisconsin-based company had claimed that TCS employees had stolen trade secrets belonging to the
              company while working on a project for them. Any adverse development in this context could impact its profitability.
                                                                                                                                                     5
TCS Ltd.
               Overall economic slowdown affecting Technology spending.
               Company has a large concentration of revenues, primarily in the BFSI (almost one-third of revenues) segment, although the same is
                mitigated by its established relationship with clients as well as deep domain knowledge.
               Many of Its clients’ business operations may be negatively impacted due to the economic downturn – resulting in postponement,
                termination, suspension of some ongoing projects with Infosys and / or reduced demand for its services and solutions.
               Political uncertainty due to presidential election in the US further impacting IT spending decisions in key verticals such as BFSI and
                Retail.
               Sustained reduction in cash surplus due to large acquisitions or capital return to investors, affecting financial flexibility.
