On a consolidated basis, BSILs revenues declined 14.5% to Rs 1.3 bn in FY10 from Rs 1.5 bn in FY09. The global recession continued to dominate the economic scenario for IT companies as well as other industries for a large part of FY10. As a result of market volatility, plummeting demand and uncertain economic climate, sales volumes in the US and Europe declined significantly. Exports fell ~21% year-on-year. However, the company maintained its domestic sales volume in FY10. EBITDA margin dropped ~510 basis points to 12.4% in FY10 from 17.5% in FY09, mainly on account of increase in employee and operating costs as a percentage of sales. Lower operating profit, coupled with higher tax expenses, led to ~11.4% decline in PAT. The company reported profit of Rs 138 mn in FY10, down from Rs 156 mn in FY09.

Revenue growth Per cent

INDUSTRY PROFILE
IT services Indian IT services revenues are estimated to be around $34 billion in 2009-10, registering a CAGR of 20 per cent from 2004-05 to 2009-10. During the same period, IT services exports, which accounted for 80 per cent of the revenues, are estimated to have grown at a CAGR of 22 per cent to $27 billion in 2009-10. The industry is highly dependent on the US and UK markets, which contribute to around 75 per cent of export revenues. With IT services deriving a large portion of its revenues from exports, the sector`s profitability is highly correlated to foreign exchange movements. An appreciating rupee is thus a key risk factor. Also, as human resource is the main input in IT services, issues related to non-availability of skilled labor, attrition and wage inflation would also impact Indian IT players.
