My View On Mastek

About The Company

The entire IT sector has been disturbed due to amazing disclosure of Satyam scam and this make a suspicious finger on all big and companies engaged in this field.

About the Results


Mastek, for second quarter ended Dec 31st 2008 clearly shows the pressure of the ongoing global financial crisis. The performance has been affected due to the significant weakening of the British pound sterling relative to the dollar and the rupee, forex losses amounting to Rs 11.7 crore, as well as some headwinds on account of the prevailing economic environment. The positive movement of dollar was not enough to offset the move of pound sterling.

The company had targeted a revenue of Rs 265-270 crore and a net profit of Rs 43-44 crore with the exchange rate prevailing at the beginning of the quarter. As against this, its total revenue was at Rs. Rs 256.2 crore, up 19% on a YoY. Excluding foreign exchange losses, PAT for quarter at Rs 43 crore. But after providing for the forex loss, the PAT has come down to Rs. Rs 31.1 crore, which is still 16% up on a YoY. But on a QoQ, total income represents a 2% decline, EBITDA at Rs 38.1 crore was 19% lower and PAT was down 24%.

During Q2FY2009, Mastek added 4 new customers and its 12-month order book was at Rs.453 crore as on 31 December 2008.
