Krishna Bodanapu, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Cyient said the second-quarter results are in line with its expectations. "This quarter we focused on setting up the business back on a growth path. We continued our rigour on efficiency improvement and building pipeline for the business," he added.
"Our outlook for H2 is positive and we expect growth based on the outlook and pipeline across most sectors. For the year, we expect a double-digit decline in revenue and margins will be similar to FY20 margins," he added.
The company has won key projects that set it up for a better second half, he said.
Jyoti Roy-Equity Strategist, Angel Broking said, "Cyient reported a 3.4% qoq growth in revenues to USD 135mn. EBIT margins for the quarter expanded by 586bps qoq to 11.0% due to lower employee costs and tight costs control which negated the margin headwinds due to rupee appreciation. During the quarter the company reported order intake of USD 127.3mn, an increase of 9% qoq. While the company did post a growth in revenues it was well short of the growth posted by larger companies like Infosys and TCS."
He added," This was largely due to the continued degrowth in the aerospace and defence segment which is amongst the worst impacted due to the Covid-19 pandemic and degrew by 10.4% qoq. Markets will look forward to management commentary especially on the outlook for the aerospace and defence segment."
