Been tracking this company for quite long, been in and out and currently having a tacking position. I still could not figure out the business model of this co.
In the last 2 years, from Q1FY23 to Q1F25 – it has won 105 deals, and went live on 109, with 18 of them at least over 50Cr per deal. That is atleast 900 Cr of new revenue, which should have shown up somewhere?
If we take all the 62 of the destiny deals won in the last 8 qtrs, that should add up to atleast 2300 – 2500 Cr of incremental revenue. At the same time, when we look at the license lined revenues, it has only gone up from 281 Cr in Q1FY23 to 312 Cr in Q1FY25.
Even if we discount the loss of GEM project, doesn’t seem like all these new deal wins are actually translating into the platform or license revenues or AMCs. The AMC was 81 Cr in Q1FY23 and just 121Cr now. The GEM deal was mostly platform deal, as the platform revenues have gone down substantially, from 144Cr in Q2FY24 to 66Cr in Q1FY25.
On an avg, 50% of revenues are license linked, so what’s the remaining revenues? This ratio of license linked vs. others has remained mostly constant for the last 8 qtrs. The SG&A expenses are almost half of the license linked revenues in the last 8 qtrs. The Software Dev expense is mostly constant for the last 8 qtrs.
The investment thesis was that as they sell more of these deals, recurring revenues will increase, cost will remain constant and profits will zoom. Doesn’t look like anything like that is happening. Management guidance for FY25 is 15%-20%, which seems like more of the same. From the numbers, it seems like they need to keep selling these deals just keep the lights on. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
