Global Services Notebook-May 2009


Are We Near Stability? Some Sources Think So...
INVESTMENT CONCLUSION:
The primary question on investors' minds after viewing March quarter results is,"Are we nearing stability in the demand
environment for IT spending?" After reviewing the vendor commentary, it appears that the majority of the company
managements believe that we are getting close. The optimism is not yet being reflected in quarterly results, metrics, and
guidance, which continue to reflect a difficult demand environment. We note that stability does not imply growth, which
will take time to return. However, stability is a good thing for the group, as customers shift their focus from protecting
the balance sheet to making business decision which include cost saving initiatives. Our global services notebook takes a
look at the dominant themes that investors are focusing on in the offshore IT services space. This month we take a look at
the status of the demand environment, current political issues, and review the March quarter results focusing on pricing.
Our favorite name in the space continues to be Cognizant, which matches up well on a comparative basis across all of the
metrics that we track.
KEY POINTS:

• Commentary on the demand environment improving. The commentary surrounding the demand environment for
IT services appears to be improving. Accenture kicked off the earnings season reporting results below expectations,
but the outsourcing portion of the business held up. IBM followed by reporting strong bookings in its outsourcing
business. Among the companies in our coverage list, vendors were cautiously optimistic, with most companies
believing we are nearing a bottom particularly in the financial services vertical. We take a look at the vendor
commentary on the demand environment on p. 10.
• There are a number of political questions to be answered. The H-1B and L-1Visa Fraud & Prevention Act of
2009 expected to be proposed later this year would require employers to make a “good faith” effort to hire an
American worker first. We note the demand for H1-B's has fallen due to the economic decline. President Obama
proposed tax changes that would eliminate tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs offshore. The irony of the
legislation is that it it hurts domestic players having only a marginal affect on the Indian players. We are awaiting the
outcome of the Indian elections, which could have a positive or negative effect on the extension of the STPI tax
holiday in India. We review the political issues regarding outsourcing on pp. 10-11.
• The demand environment continued to be challenging in the March period. Revenue for the group decelerated
in the March quarter, decreasing 6% on average sequentially, due to lower volumes, pricing pressure, and a further
reduction in discretionary spending. Financial services and Telecom continue to be areas of weakness, while retail,
manufacturing, and healthcare have held up comparatively well. Margins were stable on the whole in the March
period, decreasing sequentially due in part to the large positive impact the rupee had in the prior quarter. The
majority of the vendors reported earnings upside resulting from an increase in operational efficiencies. We provide a
comprehensive review of the March quarter results on pp. 4-8.
• Metrics adjusting to the environment; pricing remains a concern. Total headcount declined 1% on average on a
sequential basis. Attrition came down 2% sequentially to 13% (TTM). A number of the vendors reported that if any
wage increases are given this year they will be lower than in the past, which should help keep margins stable. Pricing
continues to come under pressure, down about 2% to 3% in the March quarter. We currently expect price declines to
be in the 5% to 6% range for 2009, noting that these are ongoing discussions. We take a look at the pricing
environment on p. 10. We encourage investors to take a look at operating metrics in Appendix A (pp. 19-40).

SECTION 1: OUTSOURCING:

2009 Investment Thesis: The offshore IT service group has a defensive element to its business, which is over
shadowed by the challenges being faced by its customer base. The result is that the group is expected to be range
bound in the short term until the economy stabilizes or improves. We have gotten incremental data points in the
March period that leads us to believe that some offshore vendors are of the opinion that we may be nearing a
bottom, at least in some verticals. It is too early to tell if this is true. What we do know is that IT spending will be
down in 2009. The economic slowdown translates into low volumes, pricing pressure, and decreases in headcount.
Our level of conviction in the bottoming of the sector will come through the monitoring of these metrics. We had
been encouraging investors to take advantage of the market volatility in the names. Taking positions when the stocks
are at the lower end of the range at about 10x to12x forward earnings, this implies little to no growth next year, and
backing off when they reach the upper end of valuation range at around 15x forward earnings, which implies an
improvement in the economy. The market itself is attempting to decide whether or not there is stability, so it may no
longer be necessary to back off at the upper end of the valuation range. However, we do not recommend chasing the
stocks or getting involved because of fear that you might miss a move. We would hold to good old fashioned
fundamental investing. Picking a price that is a comfortable entry point. There still needs to be a catalyst in the
names to break this range, which could come in the form of economic stability, which would result in an increase in
offshoring as customers return their focus to cutting costs from protecting their balance sheets. We do not believe
that the demise of Satyam or the acquisition of captives serve as significant catalyst, but rather helps replace a
portion of the decelerating revenues. We encourage investors to look at the higher quality names in these tough
times preferably at the lower end of the range. Our favorite pick is Cognizant.

MARCH QUARTER REVIEW:

March revenue results continue to decelerate. Revenue was down sequentially, roughly in line with estimates,
continuing to decelerate due to currency, pricing deterioration, and reduced discretionary spending. The average
decline for the Tier I vendors was 3.4%, down from a 0.7% decline in the December quarter and a 6.0% increase in
the same period a year ago. Among Tier I vendors, Cognizant posted the smallest decrease at 1.0%, followed by
TCS (3.4%), Infosys (4.3%), and Wipro (4.9% for billed IT Services). (We note that Wipro’s revenue declined 7.0%
on a GAAP reported basis). Cognizant reported revenue ahead of expectations, Wipro reported in-line revenue
results, and Infosys reported top line results below expectations. Over the last five quarters, Cognizant is the fastest
growing company in the space, followed by Wipro and Infosys.

Middle market vendor’s results slow down faster than the Tier 1. The Tier II vendors (Syntel & Patni) averaged
a -9.6% sequential decrease, down from a -1.5% decrease last quarter and +3.1% growth in the same period a year
ago. Syntel missed top line expectations, down 7.9%, while Patni’s results were less impressive, although in line
with expectations, as the company reported an 11.4% sequential decline. Patni’s growth rate continues to lag behind
its competitors. Patni is considered a potential acquisition target, since the company faces growth challenges and has
a relatively attractive valuation. The group as a whole averaged a 6% sequential decrease for the March
quarter, down from a 1% decline in the previous quarter and 5% growth in the same period last year.

Financial services decelerates. Decreased revenue from financial services clients was 5% for the group, down from
a 3% decrease in the December quarter. Financial services was down for all vendors: Infosys (10%), Syntel (7%),
Patni (7%) and Wipro (5%) and Cognizant (2%). Cognizant’s management commented that it has seen some early
signs of stabilization within the banking and financial services client base. Telecom was also an area of weakness
declining 8%-15% for TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Patni as most vendors appeared to be impacted by spending
deceleration from British Telecom. (With the exception of Patni, revenue was weak from each vendor’s top client as
the group reported decreases in the 9%-12% range). Across the other verticals, retail held up well for Infosys,
Cognizant, TCS, Wipro and Syntel. Manufacturing was a bright spot for Infosys and Wipro. Wipro provided
positive commentary on retail, manufacturing and healthcare. Cognizant reported flat revenue for healthcare. TCS
noted signs of recovery for financial services, but gave a stronger outlook for retail, healthcare and energy. Industry
consultant TPI noted financial services has been slow while healthcare (payor and life sciences) is beginning to see
an upswing although it may take 6-8 months for deals to ramp.

Discretionary related services take hardest hit. The sector’s core offering application development &
maintenance was down roughly in line with overall revenue. In the case of Infosys which delineates application
development (-12%) and application maintenance (-4%), the greater decrease was in development which is
associated with some discretionary spending. Cognizant reported a -2.6% decrease for application development and
a 0.4% increase for application management. BPO was stable for Infosys, Wipro and Patni with TCS almost
doubling its revenue through the Citi BPO acquisition. Wipro gave a positive outlook on package implementation,
but the service did not perform as well for Infosys and TCS. Cost reduction services like application maintenance
and BPO are expected to increase as percentages of revenue until budgets are finalized and discretionary
spending picks up.

Europe continues to be adversely impacted by depreciation of the pound. Europe was flat to down 17% while
North America decreased 3% for the tier 1 vendors and Syntel. TCS was the only vendor to report a net increase in
clients as Infosys and Wipro saw their overall client base decline slightly. Currency adversely impacted total
revenue approximately 1% in the March quarter. The pound and euro appear to have stabilized against the dollar
thus far in the June period. Currency is not likely to continue to hamper revenue from Europe if exchange rates stay
at current levels. Tables 1 & 2 contain sequential and annual revenue growth numbers for the offshore
vendors. Table 10 on page 9 contains comments from each vendor in regards to the spending environment in
North America, particularly the financial services vertical.

Overall slight decrease in hiring reflecting environment. Hiring came in lighter than expected and attrition rates
decreased. Headcount decreased 0.6% on average for the group in the March period, which was slower than the
revenue decrease. Average headcount slowed from 1.6% growth in the December quarter and 3.4% growth in the
same period a year ago. Cognizant led the group with 3.2% sequential headcount growth. Infosys was the other
vendor to increase headcount while Wipro (-0.5%), Patni (-2.4%) and Syntel (-4.9%) reduced headcount.

Downward trend continued for attrition. Average attrition rates decreased 2.2% in the March quarter to 12.5% on
a trailing twelve month (TTM) basis. Each vendor reported lower attrition with a biggest change from Wipro and
Patni. Wages are expected to be flat for fiscal 2010. Tables 3 & 4 contain sequential and annual headcount
growth numbers for the offshore vendors. Table 5 contains a breakdown of attrition rates.

Margins come down for most of the vendors. Operating margin contracted 226 bps for Infosys due to lower
utilization, pricing and investment in the business. Wipro expanded margins 20 bps on a pro forma basis for its IT
Services business by increasing offshore and fixed price work. Cognizant’s operating margin was stable at 18.5%, a
sequential decline of -43 bps. Patni benefitted from cost control measures which helped operating margin expand
181 bps sequentially. Rupee depreciation of 2% versus the dollar during the quarter gave a little boost (+50 bps for
Infosys) to the vendors. The rupee continues to depreciate although to a lesser degree so far in the June
quarter which would provide a slight boost to margins next quarter.

Pricing (-2% to -3%) continues to deteriorate. Volume was down 6% for Wipro, 3% for TCS, 1% for Infosys and
9% for Patni while pricing decreased 2%-3% for the Tier 1 vendors (TCS, Infosys and Wipro) with Syntel reporting
a pricing decrease of 6% by our calculation and Patni reporting a 1% pricing decline. Overall, the offshore vendors
commented that the pricing environment could deteriorate an additional 0%-5%. We believe that pricing
discussions are ongoing and pressure continues. Wipro, Patni and Syntel increased operational efficiencies by
moving 1%-2% of work offshore. Utilization including trainees increased for Syntel (+5%), but decreased for Patni
(-3%) Infosys (-2%) and Wipro (-1%). Cognizant experienced no change in utilization. Figure 1 contains the
sequential change in margins for the March quarter.

Earnings upside was driven by operational efficiencies. Infosys and Cognizant beat earnings estimates by a
penny and Wipro missed by a penny as the large variation from estimates was from the Tier 2 vendors. Syntel’s pro-
forma beat (+$0.08 versus consensus) resulted largely from lowered headcount and increased utilization while
Patni’s beat (+$0.05 versus consensus) was due mainly to cost control measures and reduced headcount. We believe
the vendors will continue to shift to more offshore and fixed price work in order to boost margins and reduce
pressure on the bottom line from an overall lack of revenue acceleration. Table 6 provides March quarter
results versus guidance, our estimate, and consensus. Table 8 shows the annual earnings growth for the
offshore vendors.

Offshore vendors give muted guidance for the June quarter. Guidance for the June quarter was given below
expectations. Infosys guided to a 5.4% to 3.7% sequential decrease for the June quarter and provided fiscal 2010
revenue guidance of a 6.7% to 3.1% annual decrease. Wipro gave billed IT Services revenue guidance of a 3.5% to
2.0% sequential decrease. For 2009, Syntel maintained the low end of revenue guidance -6% and lowered the top
end of revenue growth guidance to 1% from 3%. Syntel also pointed to flat revenue in the June quarter. Cognizant
guided to at least 2% revenue growth in the June quarter and maintained annual guidance of at least 10% revenue
growth. Patni guided to 1.0%-1.7% sequential growth in the June quarter. (Cognizant, Syntel, and Patni and are on a
calendar year, while Infosys and Wipro use a March fiscal year end. Wipro and Patni do not provide annual
guidance.) We expect an in-line performance out of the vendors in the June period. Table 7 contains the June
quarter and annual estimates, guidance, and consensus. Table 8 has an offshore vendor’s comparative

PRICING ENVIRONMENT:

Pricing environment continues to be challenging. On a blended basis, pricing was down 5% sequentially on
average including currency fluctuation. By our calculations, the Tier 1 vendors (Infosys, TCS and Wipro)
experienced a 2%-3% decline in pricing while Tier 2 vendors (Syntel and Patni) saw a more significant drop at 6%
and 9% respectively. (We note that Patni reported a 1.1% decline in pricing and attributed 9% of its revenue decline
to lower volumes while Syntel reported a 4% pricing decline). Infosys provided guidance assuming no further
deterioration from the March quarter. We believe that pricing is an ongoing discussion and will continue to
deteriorate ending up down in the -5% to -7% range in 2009.

Contrary to vendor commentary, pricing concessions are not considered irrational according TPI. TPI
commented on April 21st that providers are looking at renegotiations earlier to save an RFP, but reductions are not
considered to be irrational. Concessions include 5%-10% reductions on renegotiations (consistent with past years) in
exchange for more work, while new deals are reflecting the reality of the environment. TPI also commented that
lowering pricing does not necessarily close new deals. Providers are not seeing cancellations, but are experiencing
delayed decision making. Most clients are currently looking for deals that deliver immediate impact and those that
do are closing at a faster pace. The below pricing table includes onsite and offshore pricing changes compared
to last quarter and the same period a year ago.

DEMAND ENVIRONMENT:

The demand environment appears to be improving with overall commentary indicating stabilization in the June
quarter and acceleration in the back half of the year. Cognizant, Wipro, Syntel, and Patni have all given commentary
that would lead investors to believe that it is possible that we are moving toward a level of stability. Infosys,
Cognizant and TCS indicated that things may be bottoming out in financial services. On a large scale, Accenture’s

POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT:

Potential H-1B Visas Legislation:

The H1-B and L-1 Visa Fraud & Prevention Act of 2009

Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) have reintroduced The H-1B and L-1Visa Fraud &
Prevention Act of 2009, aimed at changing the H-1B visa programs in the U.S. H-1B visas allow U.S. employers to
temporarily hire foreign workers in areas including engineering and math. L-1 visas are valid for a shorter period
and are available to employees of a company with offices in the U.S. and a foreign country. The Senators argue that
the program replaces U.S. workers and note the reports of fraud under the program. (e.g. In April 2009, Cognizant
agreed to pay $509,607 to 67 H-1B workers in back wages after an investigation by the U.S. Labor Dept.) The bill
contains provisions to increase oversight and discourage outsourcing of H-1B visa holders but not reduce the 65,000
H-1B visas available per year. It also requires employers to pledge they have made a “good faith” effort to hire
an American worker first and that the H-1B visa will not replace a U.S. worker. The bill includes provisions
that prohibit the discriminatory practice of “H1-B only” ads, prevents employers from hiring additional H-1B and L-
1 guest-workers if more than 50% of their employees are H1-B and L-1 visa holders, and gives the government
more authority to conduct employer investigations into H-1B and L-1 fraud.

There are a number of things to keep in mind about the proposed bill. The bill does not change the number of
H1-B visa out there (65,000). Among Indian IT companies, Infosys uses the most H-1B visas (4,000) followed by
Wipro (3,000), TCS (2,000). Cognizant was the only other company in the top ten with about 400 applications. The
vendors did not indicate seeing any impact and noted that they have submitted fewer H-1B visas applications
this year based on weakened demand. Vendors also mentioned that there is a current shift to increase offshore
work which reduced the need for onsite U.S. workers. We note that the same bill was introduced by the Senators
during the last congress but the Senators could not rally support. The Indian offshore vendors would not be the
only ones hurt by a reduction in H1-B visas. The last time the bill was introduced Bill Gates (Microsoft) spoke to
congress and argued that the protectionist policies of the U.S. have forced his company to move more work offshore.
He said for every one H1-B visa holder here in the U.S. it created employment for four additional workers (National
Foundation of American Policy). Gates also noted that one quarter of all start up US engineering and technology

firms from 1995 to 2005 has at least one foreign born founder. On TPI’s 1Q 09 call, TPI noted it views the new
administration in the White House as a potential negative for outsourcing, specifically from banking clients that
have accepted TARP. These companies are expected to be more sensitive than other clients due to additional
scrutiny and may look to domestic delivery options.

Types of Visas:

• H-1B-person in a specialty occupation


• H-2B-temporary or seasonal nonagricultural workers
• H-3-trainees other than medical or academic; also applies to practical training in the education of handicapped
children. More commonly used by BPO companies.
• H-4-Dependents of H visa holders
• L-1-Intracompany transferees-Last initially for 3 years and may be extended annually up to 7 years
• L-2-Dependents of L-1 visa holders
• O-1,O-2-Visas for Persons of Extraordinary Ability
• P-3-for Artist or Entertainers in a culturally Unique Program

Potential Tax Code Legislation:

In early May, President Obama proposed tax changes that would prevent companies from deferring paying
corporate tax on income earned overseas until they brought it back to the U.S. Instead, U.S. companies would
have to pay corporate taxes immediately. It may be tougher for these corporations to continue to get a credit for
whatever taxes they paid overseas. The tax changes would also deny these companies the ability to take deduction
on expenses. Obama said his budget will change the current tax code that says, “You should pay lower taxes if you
create a job in Bangalore, India, than if you create one in Buffalo, New York.” The inability to deduct these taxes is
intended to make it more expensive to operate offshore and in turn will provide incentives for U.S. companies to
create jobs domestically. A number of experts have come out against the tax saying that the real issue is the
labor arbitrage, which really drives offshore outsourcing, not the tax rate. Obama’s plan addresses U.S.
companies that operate captive subsidiary centers overseas such as IBM Global Services and Accenture. The
proposed tax plan is not expected to impact U.S. companies that hire India based IT vendors. Customers that hire
U.S. based IT services companies like IBM which then deliver services from an offshore location could be adversely
impacted. The irony in the Obama proposition is that it appears to hurt the U.S. domiciled company’s ability
to outsource and potentially the incentive to conduct international business, but does not seem to have a large
impact on the India vendors or increase U.S. job employment.

STPI Tax Holiday:

India’s five week long election for its next national government concluded on May 13th. The vote tally will be
announced on May 16th and the results will have implications for the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) tax
holiday which ends in March 2010. The tax holiday has allowed India IT vendors to operate with a tax rate at around
the mid-teens but expiration of the tax holiday could push the tax rate to the mid twenties. The National Association
of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) has lobbied aggressively for the STPI extension and has
commented that removal of the holiday would have little impact on large vendors (Infosys, TCS, Cognizant and
Wipro) with a greater impact on the smaller players (Syntel and Patni) as it would be more difficult for these
companies to move to smaller Special Economic Zones (SEZ) providing tax relief.

Multiple partners are required to govern India and no single party is expected to occupy a majority of the 543
member Parliament. The two largest parties are the ruling Indian National Congress and the opposition Bharatiya
Janata Party. A coalition led by the leading party could take place quickly if there is a large enough gap between the
two parties. It has been speculated that the ruling Indian National Congress would be more likely to extend
the tax holiday again.

The Bombay Stock Exchange and Indian IT vendors (Infosys, TCS and Wipro) have reacted favorably over
the course of the election period which could be considered a positive indicator for the IT vendors with
respect to the STPI situation. We note that if the tax holiday is not extended it would have a larger affect on
the smaller firms compared to the larger vendors.

MARGIN LEVERS:

Onsite/Offshore Revenue Mix:

The offshore vendors have the ability to offset margin pressure by moving revenue (work) from higher cost onsite
location to lower cost offshore destinations. Cognizant currently has the most leverage in its model, doing the largest
amount of onsite work, followed by HCL, Patni, TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Syntel. We note that different offerings
lend themselves better to offshoring. For example: a large amount of BPO work can be done offshore, less so for
application development & maintenance, and even less for package implementation. As a result, the type of work that
a company performs dictates its ability to move work offshore. In the March quarter, TCS, Syntel and Wipro moved
revenue offshore, while Cognizant, Patni and Infosys had no change in their revenue mix. Wipro, Infosys, Patni,
Syntel and TCS have seen an increase of 1%-6% in the amount of offshore work compared to the same period a year
ago. Figure 2 below shows the onsite/offshore revenue mix for the Indian vendors. Table 9 breaks down the
mix by quarter and compared to the same period a year ago.

Table 10 details the impact on operating margins for a select group of vendors of a 1% movement in the
onsite/offshore revenue mix. A 1% movement offshore has a positive impact on margins, while a 1% movement
onsite has the opposite effect. In general, a 1% movement of work offshore has a positive +25 to +40 basis point
impact in on operating margins.

Utilization:

Utilization decreases for most vendors. Utilization for Infosys, TCS, and Wipro was down in the 1%-2% range,
while Syntel increased utilization 5% due in part to decreasing headcount 5%. Patni decreased headcount 2% and
utilization 3%. Infosys provided fiscal 2010 hiring guidance of 18,000 gross (8,000 net) while TCS noted it has made
24,885 campus offers for fiscal 2010. The campus hirings will initially allow for a bench build up that can be utilized
should the demand environment improve. Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro currently run at the lowest utilization rates
and thus have the most leverage available to offset margin pressure, while Patni and HCL have the highest utilization
rates in the group. Figure 3 below shows the utilization rates for the offshore vendors. Table 11 displays
movements in utilization rates sequentially and annually.

SG&A Expense:

The offshore vendors have the ability to offset margin pressure by decreasing SG&A spending. Among companies
under coverage, Cognizant spent the most on SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the March quarter and on average
over the last five quarters followed by Syntel. Cognizant has the most SG&A leverage in the group. Table 13

THE MARKETS:

U.S. Markets

Sector Implications-The fallout in the U.S. financial system has had a negative affect on the offshore group who
receives a significant portion of their revenues (40% to 60%) from this industry. A combination of this and the
global economic melt down has meant that IT budgets are expected to be down 8% to 10% and pricing is expected
to be down 3% to 5%. On the operating side, vendors are expected to increase utilization rates and move work
offshore to compensate for slow headcount growth and flat to decreasing pricing. Rupee depreciation is expected to
bring relief to margins, which have expanded and contributed to earnings upside. We track the list of company’s
making headlines and their exposure to our coverage list. We have heard commentary from Infosys, Cognizant and
TCS indicating that financial services may be reaching a bottom. A number of sources have mentioned that we they
believe we are heading toward stability. Table 14 below is our evaluation of the offshore vendors’ exposure to
the companies that made headlines last year and continue to impact results.

Satyam Fallout-State Farm and the United Nations are the only Satyam clients to confirm they have terminated
contracts with Satyam. The Satyam board had acknowledged that two clients have provided a termination notice, but
the board did not discuss specifics. There has been speculation about several clients (Cigna, Citigroup, Merrill
Lynch, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Coca-Cola) who might be leaving Satyam. We note that some of Satyam
clients have been in discussion with the company’s competitors about a transition, but a transition could take 3-6
months. We believe the velocity at which clients are leaving Satyam has slowed given Satyam’s recent sale to Tech
Mahindra. It is still uncertain what the retention rate will be with Tech Mahindra now involved. The involvement of
Tech Mahindra opens the door for offshore vendors to openly go after clients. Table 15 below provides a list of
Satyam clients that there has been speculation that they could be leaving Satyam.

Indian Market

Sector Implications-A number of the stocks that we cover are American Depository Receipts (ADRs). As a result,
the stocks are listed on their local countries exchanges and tend to trade in tandem with the local shares. Our list of
ADRs is-Infosys, Patni and Wipro.

On average, the stock price from the offshore IT vendors outperformed the market in the last month and YTD.
Vendors’ commentary pointing to near term stabilization has overshadowed in line March quarter results. Among
the BPO players, EXL is the lone company to be in the red in the past month as investors appear to take a wait to see
approach regarding the impact of announced contract wins.

CURRENCY

Currency-We consistently track the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and the Indian Rupee and Philippine Peso.
The outsourcing companies we cover take in U.S. dollars, but pay employees in local currency. As a result, a
movement in the currency can have a positive or negative affect on margins. The rupee has continued to
depreciate versus the dollar in 2009, which should help the margins of our Indian coverage list, but could
hurt other income as hedging gains decrease or turn into losses. The pound depreciated against the dollar in
the March quarter negatively impact revenue approximately 1% for the IT services group but has since
appreciated.

U.S. Dollar to Indian Rupee-The Indian rupee depreciated 0.2% on an absolute basis last week versus the dollar
closing at 50.44. The rupee has depreciated 4.1% versus the dollar on an absolute basis YTD and 0.5% in the June
quarter vs. the March quarter using averages.

RISKS: Risks to our valuation thesis include heightened geopolitical uncertainty in the Kashmir region and/or deterioration in financial
performance, which could result from pricing pressure, a sharp appreciation in the Indian rupee, greater-than-anticipated wage inflation,
and/or a slowdown in IT Services spending.

Wipro Ltd. Ticker: WIT
Rating: NEUTRAL
Price Target: $8
INVESTMENT THESIS: Wipro’s sequential organic revenue guidance in its IT services business for the March quarter was below our
expectation (-7%), implying lower than expected revenues next year. In addition to the macro headwinds, we have ancillary concerns that
the company’s consumer business could be a drag on consolidated revenues and the potential impact from the possible hedging losses on
the balance sheet. We value Wipro using a 15x forward calendar earnings multiple which produces a price target of $8 on our calendar
2009 estimates.

Patni Computer Systems Ticker: PTI
Rating: NEUTRAL
Price Target: $8
INVESTMENT THESIS: Patni is a Graham & Dodd special as the company nearly trades for cash. However, we remain Neutral on the
stock as the company's growth rate has typically trailed that of the group. March 2009 quarter revenue guidance was well below that of
Patni's peers suggesting that 2009 is going to be no different. Our valuation applies an 8x to calendar 2009 earnings giving a $8 fair
value.

Genpact Limited Ticker: G
Rating: NEUTRAL
Price Target: $11
INVESTMENT THESIS:High client concentration is both a positive and a negative for Genpact. In the short term, Genpact should
benefit in the present economy from its GE relationship, which provides a stable, growing revenue stream. However, we continue to be
concerned about the longer term prospects for growth given the relationship and the pressure it puts on Genpact to grow its global
client base. We would get more constructive with the name as it continues to diversify its customer base, noting that this may be a
difficult task on an organic basis in the short term given the present state of the global economy. We believe the company can trade as
high as 18x forward earnings giving us an $11 price target.

RISKS: Genpact faces risks similar to the other offshore BPO players. The company has a high amount of client concentration. On the
labor supply front, Indian vendors are finding it difficult to find qualified employees and attrition continues to be a concern, although less
so in today's economy. Governmental policies could have an adverse effect on the industry. There can be political repercussion to the
outsourcing industry.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Headquartered in Gurgaon, India, Genpact (IPO-8/1/2007) is an offshore outsourcing solutions provider
that offers business process outsourcing (BPO) and IT services to companies primarily in the banking, financial services, and
insurance (BFSI) and manufacturing industries. The company utilizes the comparatively lower cost labor supply located in offshore
locations (India) to serve the needs of its U.S., European, Indian, Chinese and Japanese clients. Genpact has approximately 36,200
employees located in over 30 delivery centers in nine countries.

WNS Holdings Ltd. Ticker: WNS

INVESTMENT THESIS: We like WNS, believing the Aviva acquisition provides it with a steady revenue stream. We believe BPO service
offering, although not counter-cyclical, play well in this economy, helping customers cut costs. It appears that things are on track at WNS.
December quarter results were encouraging, excluding the impact of currency. Management reiterated its annual guidance, which appears
attainable barring further currency impact. We value the company using a 10x 2009 earnings multiple, in line with the group, resulting in an

**EPS is adjusted
RISKS: WNS’ has three major areas where it is exposed to risk. The company has a high level of client concentration, with 49% of revenue
less repair payments received from its top 5 clients, and contracts are easily terminated. On the labor side, WNS has a high trailing twelve
month (TTM) attrition rate (35) although it has been coming down. The company operates on a global platform, exposing it to currency risk
and changes in the domestic and international business climates. WNS performs work in the financial services industry, a portion of which

ExlService Holdings Inc. Ticker: EXLS
Rating: NEUTRAL
Price Target: $10
INVESTMENT THESIS: We are encouraged about the future for EXL, the company recently signed three new clients and reported a healthy
pipeline. However, we remain on the sidelines in the short term as the headwinds coming from business that is going away and the negative
impact on earnings from currency exchange make their way through the numbers. Our $10 fair value is based on a multiple of 22x our 2009
earnings estimate excluding interest ($0.27) and adding back cash ($3.67).

Guidance N/A N/A
RISK: The Indian BPO sector is relatively nascent compared to the IT services vendors. The sector has all the characteristics of a young
group as the growth rates are exciting, but the margin profile is not yet as stimulating. Also, the attrition rates are higher and there is friction
among the client base.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Headquartered in New York, NY, ExlService is an offshore outsourcing solutions provider that offers business
process outsourcing (BPO), research & analytics, and risk advisory services to companies in the banking, financial services, and insurance
(BFSI), utilities, healthcare, and media sectors. The company utilizes the comparatively lower cost labor supply located in offshore locations
(India) to serve the needs of its U.S. and U.K. clients. ExlService has approximately 9,500 employees in delivery centers in India and the
Philippines.
