RENEW
In Q3, we continued to make progress on our strategy to Renew our core services, introducing new offerings in the areas of Digital, Cloud, Data Sciences, Mainframe Modernization, Cyber security, API Microservices, Internet of Things, and more, to help our clients renew their core businesses. In addition, Zero Distance continued to be a key strategic differentiator to drive ongoing, grassroots innovation in every project.
Infosys leveraged the Zero Distance framework to build a custom application that provides maintenance and production support services for the Global Business Systems of LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions designed for professionals in the legal, risk management, corporate, government, law enforcement, accounting, and academic markets.
“Bringing forward innovative ideas to improve the customer experience while simultaneously reducing our operational costs is a capability where Infosys has exceeded my expectations. Infosys proposed replacing our third party system with a custom application, improving the user experience and reducing our operational costs. The implementation was completed by Infosys one month ahead of the deadline, maximizing our ability to reap financial benefits from the new custom application. This is a great example of Infosys doing more than just managing the status quo. I look forward to partnering with Infosys on future such innovations.” - James W Wanke, Vice President of Technology, LexisNexis
“Arizona Public Service (APS) was at the cusp of a major business transformation that required us to modernize our Customer Information System (CIS) environment without letting our customers be burdened by the complexities of the process. Infosys enabled us to accelerate the replacement of the existing system with the suitable COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) product while ensuring a seamless transition and a steady state for large and complex CIS application. With its deep domain knowledge, the team leveraged its Zero Distance initiative to come up with an idea to run a parallel sustainability program that ensured the upgrade of the product with minimal disruptions. Infosys also came up with the brilliant idea to automate a large number of test cases that were previously manually tested, making certain that they were tailored to our specific scenarios. The solution provided by Infosys allows more timely delivery of products and services to our customers, saving costs for our end customers through a system that is flexible and nimble to meet their needs.” - Jasvinder Arora, Director, CIS Modernization Program, Arizona Public Service Company

Infosys’ capabilities in Oracle ERP, Cloud technologies and Automotive Domain led us to select them for this Key Program.” - Thor Toma, Senior Vice President, Servco

With bots we now have 24/7 coverage with accurate monitoring and systematic alerts.” - Jay Drayton, Vice President, Lifetouch (LNSS- National Schools Studios)
Finacle continued to strengthen its position as a “Platform of Choice” for digital transformation, enabling new business models for banks.
“ICICI Bank has a rich legacy of leveraging the latest technology to bring in new paradigms in banking. Akin to pioneering new technologies in the country like software robotics, mobility and near-field communication among others, I am delighted that we are the first bank in India and among few globally to set up a blockchain application. We have also marked a milestone by piloting a blockchain network with Emirates NBD and Infosys Finacle as partners and have successfully executed cross-border open account trade finance and remittance transactions. I envision that the emerging technology of blockchain will play a significant role in banking in the coming years by making complex bilateral and multi-lateral banking transactions seamless, quick and more secure. Going forward, we also intend to work on expanding the blockchain ecosystem and create common working standards to contribute to the commercial adoption of this initiative.” - Ms. Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, ICICI Bank
An important milestone in strengthening Finacle’s presence in the United States this quarter was the go-live of Marcus by Goldman Sachs. “With the successful deployment of the Finacle Core Banking Solution we gain both agility to respond to customer needs and scalability to adapt with market requirements while providing superior customer experience required in today’s competitive Digital Age.” - Boe Hartman, Chief Technology Officer, Marcus by Goldman Sachs (Digital Finance Technology)
Cosmetics Company Shiseido, used Panaya Test Center to undergo a major IT transformation project, and helped tackle its IT Transformation project by successfully reducing the company’s global testing efforts by 30%. “To ensure we go live smoothly with our business-critical applications, we had to mobilize over 80 business users spread across 11 countries in Europe to perform user acceptance testing. Panaya helped us save 30% of our testing effort while improving the quality of our testing.” Panaya Test Center delivered test acceleration and offered Shiseido a more efficient way to manage the business process testing from an end-to-end perspective. “I could easily track the project in real time to increase our efficiency and avoid any bottlenecks.

These companies are looking at a complex ERP migration, and a widely used solution like Panaya’s CloudQuality™ Suite that offers faster testing and zero risk will certainly offer our clients significant savings.” - Prem Chander, Chief Executive Officer of Elton Technologies
In Design Thinking, we continued to work with clients in key strategic areas. “When we began the transformation of School of Management at Fudan University, we wanted to re-imagine and create a new learning experience for students and faculty, in our education programs. Our intent was to create a platform that enables a deeper engagement between students and faculty, and create a modern and smart campus, and more. For the alumni, we wanted to bring the notion of continuous learning to life, engaging with them in a much deeper way, to help them achieve their personal and professional goals long after they leave our campus and pursue their careers and lifetime objectives. Infosys was one of our key partners in imagining this future for business education at Fudan University. In our Design Thinking engagement with Infosys, we looked at the entire MBA student experience, from the students’ point of view – their motivations, expectations and aspirations. This has helped us to think very tangibly about how to transform the student experience, and has helped our teams to be much more confident in problem finding and in understanding and designing for our students’ needs. I am very pleased that we have built the momentum to experiment and prototype the 2026 student experience, with a bias towards action and a trust in the power of testing and rapid iteration.” - Xiongwen Lu, Dean of Fudan School of Management, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
CULTURE
Learnability, the ease and speed to acquire new skills, continues to be the foundation for the company’s growth. We have invested in enhancing our leadership training initiatives by offering a more global and experiential learning program at world-class institutions. We have also witnessed positive traction through partnerships with organizations such as Udacity.
This quarter we invested in advancing the learning quotient at Infosys.

RENEW
In Q3, we continued to make progress on our strategy to Renew our core services, introducing new offerings in the areas of Digital, Cloud, Data Sciences, Mainframe Modernization, Cyber security, API Microservices, Internet of Things, and more, to help our clients renew their core businesses. In addition, Zero Distance continued to be a key strategic differentiator to drive ongoing, grassroots innovation in every project.
Infosys leveraged the Zero Distance framework to build a custom application that provides maintenance and production support services for the Global Business Systems of LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions designed for professionals in the legal, risk management, corporate, government, law enforcement, accounting, and academic markets.
“Bringing forward innovative ideas to improve the customer experience while simultaneously reducing our operational costs is a capability where Infosys has exceeded my expectations. Infosys proposed replacing our third party system with a custom application, improving the user experience and reducing our operational costs. The implementation was completed by Infosys one month ahead of the deadline, maximizing our ability to reap financial benefits from the new custom application. This is a great example of Infosys doing more than just managing the status quo. I look forward to partnering with Infosys on future such innovations.” - James W Wanke, Vice President of Technology, LexisNexis
“Arizona Public Service (APS) was at the cusp of a major business transformation that required us to modernize our Customer Information System (CIS) environment without letting our customers be burdened by the complexities of the process. Infosys enabled us to accelerate the replacement of the existing system with the suitable COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) product while ensuring a seamless transition and a steady state for large and complex CIS application. With its deep domain knowledge, the team leveraged its Zero Distance initiative to come up with an idea to run a parallel sustainability program that ensured the upgrade of the product with minimal disruptions. Infosys also came up with the brilliant idea to automate a large number of test cases that were previously manually tested, making certain that they were tailored to our specific scenarios. The solution provided by Infosys allows more timely delivery of products and services to our customers, saving costs for our end customers through a system that is flexible and nimble to meet their needs.” - Jasvinder Arora, Director, CIS Modernization Program, Arizona Public Service Company

Finacle continued to strengthen its position as a “Platform of Choice” for digital transformation, enabling new business models for banks.
“ICICI Bank has a rich legacy of leveraging the latest technology to bring in new paradigms in banking. Akin to pioneering new technologies in the country like software robotics, mobility and near-field communication among others, I am delighted that we are the first bank in India and among few globally to set up a blockchain application. We have also marked a milestone by piloting a blockchain network with Emirates NBD and Infosys Finacle as partners and have successfully executed cross-border open account trade finance and remittance transactions. I envision that the emerging technology of blockchain will play a significant role in banking in the coming years by making complex bilateral and multi-lateral banking transactions seamless, quick and more secure. Going forward, we also intend to work on expanding the blockchain ecosystem and create common working standards to contribute to the commercial adoption of this initiative.” - Ms. Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, ICICI Bank
An important milestone in strengthening Finacle’s presence in the United States this quarter was the go-live of Marcus by Goldman Sachs. “With the successful deployment of the Finacle Core Banking Solution we gain both agility to respond to customer needs and scalability to adapt with market requirements while providing superior customer experience required in today’s competitive Digital Age.” - Boe Hartman, Chief Technology Officer, Marcus by Goldman Sachs (Digital Finance Technology)
Cosmetics Company Shiseido, used Panaya Test Center to undergo a major IT transformation project, and helped tackle its IT Transformation project by successfully reducing the company’s global testing efforts by 30%. “To ensure we go live smoothly with our business-critical applications, we had to mobilize over 80 business users spread across 11 countries in Europe to perform user acceptance testing. Panaya helped us save 30% of our testing effort while improving the quality of our testing.” Panaya Test Center delivered test acceleration and offered Shiseido a more efficient way to manage the business process testing from an end-to-end perspective. “I could easily track the project in real time to increase our efficiency and avoid any bottlenecks.

These companies are looking at a complex ERP migration, and a widely used solution like Panaya’s CloudQuality™ Suite that offers faster testing and zero risk will certainly offer our clients significant savings.” - Prem Chander, Chief Executive Officer of Elton Technologies
In Design Thinking, we continued to work with clients in key strategic areas. “When we began the transformation of School of Management at Fudan University, we wanted to re-imagine and create a new learning experience for students and faculty, in our education programs. Our intent was to create a platform that enables a deeper engagement between students and faculty, and create a modern and smart campus, and more. For the alumni, we wanted to bring the notion of continuous learning to life, engaging with them in a much deeper way, to help them achieve their personal and professional goals long after they leave our campus and pursue their careers and lifetime objectives. Infosys was one of our key partners in imagining this future for business education at Fudan University. In our Design Thinking engagement with Infosys, we looked at the entire MBA student experience, from the students’ point of view – their motivations, expectations and aspirations. This has helped us to think very tangibly about how to transform the student experience, and has helped our teams to be much more confident in problem finding and in understanding and designing for our students’ needs. I am very pleased that we have built the momentum to experiment and prototype the 2026 student experience, with a bias towards action and a trust in the power of testing and rapid iteration.” - Xiongwen Lu, Dean of Fudan School of Management, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
CULTURE
Learnability, the ease and speed to acquire new skills, continues to be the foundation for the company’s growth.

Vishal Sikka
Hi! Everyone, good morning. In 2016 we crossed an important milestone of $10 bn in revenue during the calendar year over the last 12 months. Pravin told me that in 2004, we crossed the $1 bn in revenue and then $2 bn in 2006. When I started, I remember we were just above $8 bn. So that $10 bn number is something that all Infoscions and all our stakeholders and clients should celebrate. We had good performance in Q3 considering that when we entered Q3 we were facing both the traditional seasonal headwinds from less number of working days and furloughs, as well as the one-time impact of little bit more than 1% that we had from RBS. Despite that, we delivered Q3 revenues of just a little bit below flat, -0.3% in constant currency. We improved our margin performance. Thanks to the efforts of our team, especially Ranga, which I am very proud of, to deliver operating margin of 25.1%. Utilization was at 81.9%, that is the highest Q3 utilization in many years and consistently now for the 7th quarter in a row, utilization is above 80%. In the new areas, we had strong growth. All four of our new dimensions in software led services - Mana, Skava, Panaya and Edge had their best quarters ever. In Mana, client adoption has continued to double quarter-on-quarter. We are seeing good growth on all fronts.
As we enter Q4, we are optimistic about Q4. We have raised our guidance on constant currency terms to 8.4% to 8.8% for the year based on the outlook that we see presently. One significant thing that we saw in this quarter was the continued pricing pressure. RPP, the revenue productivity per employee declined 1.1% on constant currency quarter-on-quarter, 1.8% for the first 9 months of the year and 2.2% year-on-year for Q3, which tells us that this downward steady pricing pressure is something that is here to stay. It is a reality for our industry as I have been saying for the last 2.5 years. Despite that, our revenue per employee at the company level went up to $51,900. This is a result of strong focus on automation, strong focus on operational efficiency led by Ravi and his team as well as agility in our hiring and how we have managed that.
Overall, I am happy with the performance for the first 9 months of the year despite the seasonal circumstances that we have seen. We did on year-on-year basis for the first 9 months, 9.4% growth on constant currency. That is something that I am excited about. Over the course of the quarter, we also saw that our customer satisfaction has increased significantly. In fact the customer satisfaction scores are at the highest level ever since we started the customer satisfaction survey 12 years ago. So that is something that all our employees are proud of. It reflects our endeavor to execute on our strategy to bring innovation into every dimension of our operations to make innovation a way of life for everyone inside Infosys, strong adoption of zero distance. Zero distance itself has become quite a significant part of all dimensions of our company, both from a revenue driving perspective as well as just elevating the confidence, the creative confidence of our employees.
As I look to the future, an increasingly AI-led future, this embrace of AI in improving our operational efficiency and automation as well as new AI-led solutions for all industries, is something that is going to be crucial to our future. That is going to require the best of the imagination of all of us. That is something that I am glad to see the markers of progress on all of these fronts.
Participant
Good morning gentlemen and Happy New Year. Vishal, just to get your thoughts on, you just conducted a survey of all your clients. What is the kind of client behavior changes that you have seen post Trump's victory and do you see that is going to impact the Indian IT companies and companies like who are working extensively in the US, and for Ranga the margins have gone up by 20 basis points? Can you give us an idea is there a further scope for expansion of margin as we go forward? Since Vishal was talking about RPP going down by a percent, what are the levers available at your hand to ensure that you are able to stem that fall in RPP because that is going to be a critical factor going forward and impact of cost currency changes which is there?
Vishal Sikka
In terms of the new administration, the new President is going to take office next week. The President elect Trump is himself an entrepreneur and has a very business friendly, innovation-oriented background. So I expect that the policies of the administration are going to be friendly towards business, innovation and entrepreneurship. Overall I expect that if we can continue to focus on delivering that value, innovation, things will be okay. Of course visa policies and immigration related policies may change and we have to watch and see what happens there. So far there is no discernable pattern in client behavior. Many clients have reached out because everybody is trying to figure out what these things mean and so forth. But I would not say that there is any noticeable discernable pattern. As we see the policies take effect and so forth, we will let you know. We are in watchful mode. We are waiting and watching.
M.D. Ranganath
Hi, on the margin front, this has been a positive quarter. If you look at the operating margin, it expanded to 25.1% which is the highest in this year. Likewise, the net margin also expanded by 60 basis points to 21.5%. So, I think overall on the margin front even if you look at 9 months over 9 months, this year it was 24.7%, pretty much same as last year despite the lower revenue growth. I think on the margin front even in this 9 months, if you look at year-on-year, the pricing decline was 1.8% in constant currency. Despite that, we are able to maintain the margin at the same level as last year. In October, we had clearly said that our operating margin range for this year would be 24%-25%. So we are pretty much at the higher end of that particular band as of now. Coming to the levers that you talked about, we have multiple levers that we have continuously utilized over the last 7 quarters. For example utilization consistently above 80% this quarter also, despite the RBS headwinds. Typically utilization is lower in a seasonally soft quarter. So we have been able to keep a healthy utilization. Then if you look at the onsite employee cost as a percentage of revenue, it has come down this quarter. Likewise on subcontractor cost we had stabilized around 5.4%-5.6% range. Likewise, these are particular levers that we have utilized in the past and we continue to optimize those levers. At the same time there is one more lever which has not improved much which is the onsite mix which is still at 29.8%. We do believe that we need to work on it and we will work on improving that lever as well. So overall in spite of the pricing decline of 1.8% in constant currency over 9 months, margin has expanded this quarter. Most importantly, the operating cash flow has been very healthy. It is at 100% of the net profit.
Rukmini Rao
Happy New Year gentlemen, Rukmini Rao from CNBC-TV18. Vishal, want to understand from you in terms of the noise around H1B visa, how big a headache is that for Infosys at this point in time. And also, you have crossed the $10 bn mark run rate, so in terms of your aspirational 2020 goal, do you think that this is making it look much achievable at this point in time. Also, Pravin, just wanted to understand from you the next growth wave. Where is that coming from given the fact that most of your businesses and also services they are either doing flat or marginally well. And Ranga, also in terms of the currency movement, just wanted to understand from you is there any game plan that you have currently. And the last question Vishal, the management change that we have seen bringing in Ravi Kumar as the Deputy COO, is there a larger game plan? Are there going to be more management changes going into FY’18?
Vishal Sikka
Sure. Wow! There are lot of questions. What was your first question?
Rukmini Rao
On visa.
Vishal Sikka
The visas, see, we have quite a bit of H1Bs and we also have lots of local hires and Ravi has been working furiously in the last few months to do something that we had. As you remember two and a half years ago when I joined I have articulated anyway that we have to become much more local and locally oriented in our strategy in the markets and globally. I am myself a senior local hire in the United States and an US citizen. Ultimately, regardless of the visa policies and so forth, the right thing to do for innovation is to have a lot of rich local talent that is something that Infosys has always believed in and it is something that we are absolutely committed to. So, there will be some impact of the H1B depending on the nature of the policy and so forth that is enacted. There can be but it is something that we will let you know when we figure it out and it is not something that we are overly concerned about. Regardless, we have to focus on next generation collaboration technology. Sanjay, our head of design, has been working on a next-generation, visa-free, Global Delivery Model where we bring collaborative technologies to bear and creating a rich experience for people to work together in new kinds of work spaces and so forth. That is the bigger view on that.
In terms of crossing the $10 bn, that is a huge emotional, psychological milestone for us and yes of course our aspiration continues to be $20 bn, 30% margin and $80,000 revenue per employee. That is something that we are absolutely working hard towards. What good is an aspirational goal if it is not aspirational!
Pravin Rao
On the growth perspective, Quarter 3 is a seasonally weak quarter, so I do not think we should read too much into individual service line or geo-wise growth. If you look at financial services despite the headwinds of RBS, we have seen on a constant currency basis 0.2% growth. So the pipeline is healthy in Financial Services, we expect that to continue going forward into quarter 4 and next year. In Manufacturing, seasonally because of furloughs and other thing we have seen about 0.6% decline on a constant currency basis, but it is expected to come back. Within Manufacturing, we are seeing good traction in Auto. In Hi-Tech we had a challenge this quarter but next quarter we hope that it will bounce back. Aerospace is probably the only one which is big challenged. When you look at Retail and CPG, Retail continues to be volatile. So we will see some ups and down in Retail because it is tightly linked to consumer spending, consumer sentiment and so on. But on the Life Sciences side, we have seen some good growth this quarter, we expect it to continue. If at all anything, in my mind, Energy is probably the only one which is probably relatively soft. Otherwise, while this quarter, we have seen some de-growth even in Telecom, going forward I think barring Energy we expect most of the sectors to bounce back.
M.D. Ranganath
On the margin front, clearly this quarter both the operating margin has been positive, net margin has increased as well as the operating cash flow. Operating cash flow has been 100% of our PAT. Even if you look at nine months over nine months, the operating margin at 24.7% has been steady despite the reduced revenue growth.
Coming to the foreign currency question that you had, sequentially I think the foreign currency fluctuations impacted around 1.1%. That is the difference between the constant currency and reported growth. If you look at this particular quarter, there has been extreme volatility in all the currencies. USD especially appreciated very strongly over 5% against GBP, close to 5.8% against Euro and even over Australian dollar. But our hedging policy has been very consistent. This has helped us to navigate this extremely volatile currency environment much more effectively. We will continue to watch. I think in the near-term, we do see certain volatility continue both on the rupee front as well as the US dollar and the other cross currencies, we will continue to monitor that.
Vishal Sikka
Rukmini on your last question about the organization, of course, there will continue to be changes. There is no particular grand plan. Ravi is just amazing, he is an extraordinary colleague. If you just look at our scale that we operate at now, it is massive in terms of more than $10 bn run rate, thanks to all the efforts of everyone. Pravin and I need more bandwidth. Pravin told me that with now Ravi being Deputy COO, I have to stop calling him after 11 o’clock at night. For sure there will be more changes. But there is not any particular grand plan. Steve Jobs used to say that ‘you can only connect the dots looking backwards’, so I deeply believe in that we say things as we see them and we take decisions as we go forward. That is the hallmark of an agile organization.
Chandra
Hi every one, Chandra from ET NOW. Vishal, couple of quick questions. You know the TCS management yesterday spoke about how US BFS is looking up now that the elections are out of the way and they expect clients to spend more going forward. Do you see similar trends as well though this quarter it has not done too well. Also your quick comment on N. Chandra taking charge of Tata Sons because everybody is saying this is advantage Infosys, in the near-term. Pravin, a follow up on Ravi Kumar, does this mean that gradually he will transition to the COO role? How long are you going to stay on? Ranga, lot of analysts expected a buyback announcement this quarter because lot of companies see it has very tax efficient. Is this on the cards at all for Infosys? Thank you.
Vishal Sikka
BFS is looking up simply because I have tremendous confidence in Mohit’s amazing leadership ability. If you look at our BFSI performance and now also Healthcare that is his responsibility, it has done exceedingly well. Despite this RBS impact of more than 1% on the company level, our BFS still grew in Q3. So we are very confident. Generally, we expect that the shift of spending in BFS will move from a more regulatory-orientated and cost-orientated approach in the prior times, now suddenly in the North American market with the President Trump coming in towards a more innovation-orientated and lower latency, new technologies, new kinds of growth areas and so forth. Banks will focus on those, so I am confident. Mohit would normally say cautiously optimistic but I am very optimistic about the BFSI and our prospects there.
In terms of Chandra becoming the Chairman, I wrote him yesterday congratulating him. It is a reflection both of his amazing leadership and capabilities as well as the growing importance of software in the world around us. So all the best to him and we wish him the very best in that journey.
Pravin Rao
On Ravi, as Vishal said, he has done exceedingly well. Historically we had lot more senior bandwidth based out of India. Our business has continued to grow and be much more complex. So we need more bandwidth here and so that is the primary reason.
Vishal Sikka
Jayesh as the Deputy CFO to Ranga and so Pravin now has a deputy to Ravi. So this is how we are setting it up.
Pravin Rao
I am not in a hurry to retire or anything, still long way to go.
Vishal Sikka
I will not let Pravin retire anytime soon.
M.D. Ranganath
On the other question Chandra, the capital allocation policy. In April 2015, the Board had evaluated the capital allocation policy about two years ago. At that point in time, the dividend payout was increased from 40% of profits to 50% of profits. If you look at today at 50% of net profits, it almost works out to over 70% of the Free Cash Flow. Yes, Board periodically evaluates the capital allocation policy after taking into account the strategic cash needs, the operational cash needs and we will evaluate all options. I think the Board will consider the capital allocation policy at an appropriate time, It was done in April 2015
Chandra
Is this an appropriate time?
Pravin Rao
Board will consider periodically and it will look at what is the appropriate time to consider.
Maya Sharma
Maya Sharma from NDTV. President Trump about to take over the world as we wait with bated breath to see what he does next and of course IT companies including Infosys have a huge presence in the United States. With all the fears of the visas, with the stress on American jobs like your own, what really is Infosys thinking about the presidency going ahead? Is it cautiously optimistic, is it fearful or what is the real term?
Vishal Sikka
As I said, if you look at the career of President-Elect Donald Trump, it is a career based on innovation, entrepreneurship, business success. If you look at the some of the indications that we have seen in the last couple of months, it all points to a more business friendly, innovation friendly at a general level. Therefore if we focus our long-term strategy towards continuing to deliver client value, not focused so much on cost-based delivery of value, but on innovation-oriented delivery of value and are relevant to the clients business and growth especially in these difficult times of our client transitioning to digital, we will be fine. We expect there will be changes to the H1B policy and so forth. There can be impact from that depending on what kind of policy is put into place. We will address that as we understand it better once it is in place. But in general my direction or Pravin’s direction to our company is basically to continue to focus on becoming more and more relevant strategically to our clients and to be looking forward not backwards.
Maya Sharma
Overall, his business friendly approach may overrule the apparent anti-outsider feeling that he generates.
Vishal Sikka
Yes
Madhur
Madhur from BTVI. Why are you changing guidance every quarter? There was an upgrade then downgrade, now narrowing down the guidance?
M.D. Ranganath
Actually, let me correct that. Every year we give an annual guidance based on what is the visibility we have at that point in time. If you look at not just us, some of our peers also have assessed the guidance at the end of every quarter based on what they see and they have revised the guidance downwards or upwards as the case may be. So this is not something unique to us. Our peers do it. We have done it in the past. It is primarily based on setting an expectation, based on what we believe as a management team at that point in time and what we see in the markets at this point in time. We do believe that transparency is important, that asymmetry between the external world and what the management knows is important. We have consistently followed this policy since we got listed in 1993. I think there is no deviation of this transparent policy.
Participant
I will start off with geography wise the growth, it has been largely flattish. Europe has grown 1% QoQ, US is down 0.6%, Rest of the World (-)1.5% quarter-on-quarter in constant currency terms. So is this related to the seasonality factor, the Trump factor or combination of all of these? A similar trend has also witnessed in BFSI and other key verticals. Pravin mentioned that Manufacturing and within Manufacturing Hi-Tech is an area of concern. So if you could just articulate your views on that?
Sandeep Dadlani
In Americas, this is a seasonally weak quarter for the entire industry. If I specifically look at trends in Americas, consumer spending is up. We saw First Data come out with data around holiday spending which is up 4.7%. Manufacturing overall momentum is up. The Institute of Supply Management said their manufacturing activity is up 2% year-on-year. So the fundamentals of the economy are very good. But it is a holiday quarter. There are holiday shutdowns, there are furloughs in many industries. Hi-Tech for example what Pravin mentioned did have massive furloughs. There is some fundamental disruption impacting the business models as well. Software companies are becoming more SaaS companies from on-premise companies, their margin structure is going down which means we who service them as the suppliers have to figure out a low-cost model. The two pillars around Automation and Innovation are affecting every industry right from BFSI to Retail to Services to Energy. So I do not see any major cause for concern. This is a seasonal quarter as such. Almost all industries and all geographies are flat. I expect the fundamentals of the economy to be strong. Moving forward nothing disturbing to see and we should see the pipeline return in terms of large deals, licenses, new, renew, etc. So that is what I see on Americas.
Mohit Joshi
I will let Rajesh cover Europe. But I will just talk a little bit talk about the Financial Services space. As both Vishal and Pravin mentioned, we are actually very happy with the performance we had in BFSI this quarter. Despite the very strong headwind that we had from the known ramp down in Williams & Glyn, we were able to defend our revenue very successfully. If you look at the Williams & Glyn impact, it was about 1% of the company level and that magnified to over 3% of the BFSI level. Despite that we were able to defend the revenue number. I think that is largely because on the back of lot of wins, a lot of organic growth, working along with Sandeep’s teams, we had 3 MANA-led wins in BFSI. We have started work on ‘data as a service’ for one of our European banking clients, we are working with one of our global clients on the Latin America tech transformation. On the back of large deal wins, organic growth and win in the new, we are extremely happy with the performance that we have in BFSI and we are very optimistic about the opportunities that we have in Q4. As Vishal mentioned, the key theme that we are seeing across industries is clearly AI, AI is the #1 trend. It really lies at the intersection of a huge number of technology trends. If you look at Natural Language Processing, if you look at Data Science, if you look at IoT, if you look at Block Chain, AI really lies at the convergence of these technologies. It is going to be extremely important to the future of Financial Services and it is something where I believe that we have a leadership position. So if you take our strengths and if you take where the market is headed, if you take our historical performance, I feel that there are reasons to be optimistic about our performance in Q4 and beyond.
Rajesh Krishnamurthy
From Europe perspective, I think this was a good quarter. This as Sandeep pointed out is a seasonally soft quarter. We saw massive currency movements. Ranga was talking about the massive depreciation of both the pound and the euro but in constant currency terms, Europe has done quite well. We expanded about 1%. But more importantly, even though we have seen a fair amount of political turmoil in Europe in general, we had the big Brexit issue which came a few months ago, we have got elections coming up in two very large economies this year, but we are very optimistic because the pipeline which we have currently in Europe is one of the strongest we have ever seen. Especially Financial Services has done exceedingly well in Europe as well. We are also seeing good traction in Telecom and certain other industries, even in Manufacturing. So overall, we are quite very optimistic about the European performance.
Participant
Just a follow up question on that; Could you quantity the demand pipeline for Europe? As far as India is concerned, is the sluggishness that we are seeing anyway related to the entire demonetization episode?
Mohit Joshi
I do not think that India revenue performance has anything to do with demonetization. Obviously, there is a project pipeline that they are working on and based on how we recognize revenue in a particular quarter, there are ups and downs. I do not think that has anything to do with demonetization. As far as the Europe pipeline is concerned, I will let Rajesh and Sandeep add to it. But we really typically do not quantify pipeline across various geographies or industries. The overall trend is important because the overall performance is very good. You spoke about the ROW performance as well. Again, because so much of this gets impacted by currencies, if you look at ROW minus India performance on a year-on-year basis, that business grew by close to 14.5%. So it is very strong performance on a year-on-year basis.
Sandeep Dadlani
I do not see any deviation in pipeline between Europe and Americas. Right now, pipeline across verticals, across geographies is very strong and across service lines, whether it is large deals, new deals, AI-led deals that Mohit was talking about, new digital experiences, analytics and so on. So I see the pipeline being very robust across geographies, across verticals and across service lines.
Rahul Dayama
Rahul Dayama from ET NOW. Mohit, firstly, you seemed very optimistic about the BFSI vertical. Would you echo the similar sentiment? Also, give us a sense of the impact of the RBS account?
Mohit Joshi
Vishal often jokes with me that I am always cautiously optimistic. He expressed a great deal of confidence in the future that we see from Q4 perspective and beyond and I echo that. I think Q3 was a test of resilience for us as a company and for the Financial Services unit. The fact that we have been able to sustain revenue performance despite a 1% impact at the company level because of RBS and obviously that impact is magnified at an FS level, speaks about the resilience. Given the fact that we are very strong in the areas where our clients are focused, which is AI, which is Automation, which is Infrastructure Transformation using Cloud Technologies and given the fact that the overall spend environment especially from a US perspective, does look better for the next 12-months, given these two factors together, I echo his optimism.
Rahul Dayama
Questions for three of you now; Sandeep, we have spoken a lot about the impact of visa implications, it is sort of a wait-and-watch policy. But give us a sense of on the ground as far as your conversations with clients are concerned previous to the election and post the election. What is it like post and previous? Also, give us as far as the pipeline for manufacturing and retail is concerned, how is that panning out? Ravi, congratulations on the elevation. Ravi, give us a sense of how will this pan out in terms of responsibilities between Pravin and you? Also we understand now you would be based out of India. Lastly, as far as Europe is concerned, are we behind as far as the worst of Brexit implication from the client conversations that you are having? You spoke about the pipeline really is very robust for the coming quarters, so are the fears of Brexit over so to say?
Sandeep Dadlani
In terms of client conversations pre and post-Trump’s election, I do not think there has been any significant concern across clients. There are obviously two sentiments there – one is how will the policies be vis-à-vis IT services while the other sentiment is also in terms of his business-friendliness, his innovation-friendliness etc. So both of them basically balance each other out. We on the other hand regardless of that process have been investing heavily in local hiring, we are investing heavily in automation, more collaboration and new delivery models aggressively. That process is important for us. We are watching legislation very-very closely as we always have. These things take time. But we are prepared with our plans regardless of this happening. I think the larger trend here is that through the process, pre and post-Trump election, clients were accelerating their focus on Automation and AI anyways and are gradually continuing to go away from a people-only model to a people-plus software model. On that paradigm, as Mohit has earlier said, we seem to be the best placed given our capabilities, given our investments, given our priorities. I think that will be the overarching winning factor here in the future.
Ravi Kumar S.
A couple of years ago, we created a global delivery organization which was very central to the strategy of the company. So that remains a part of my responsibility, I continue to shoulder that responsibility. There would be a few enabling functions which will be attached to it and those are strategic ones which have dependencies of the core delivery function. So it is always a pleasure to take more responsibilities, be a part of this wonderful corporation and most importantly support Pravin. We do quite a bit in India. So it is extremely important that we kind of distribute our leadership bandwidth, we have client visits, we have whole bunch of operating metrics which we continue to optimize and keep us very sleek so that we could invest back into the business. You have seen our profitability numbers, you have seen our operating metrics. In fact, our utilization this quarter in the last 10-years if you can just compare Q3, it has been one of the highest. So that is a journey. Our journey is to continue to keep sharpening our operating metrics, continue to support the sales functions and improve our service line competitiveness so that we kind of build that in the future. Sandeep spoke about automation, that is a huge lever in our journey. So all of this I would think would be the part of the responsibility I was otherwise working on and we just bolt it out with more enabling functions to support this process.
Rajesh Krishnamurthy
I think it is too early to call and say whether the fears of Brexit are the thing of the past. I think we had some very interesting distraction which came from the other side of the pond and that is why the noise on Brexit has reduced. But I think the journey ahead is long, it is not an easy process. There are lot of things which have to fall in place. I think organizations and companies who are going to be impacted by this have started creating plans. The good news is we have a long way forward and there is enough time to plan those things and we as a company also are taking our own measures. We also have two very important elections coming up in Europe this year and so again there will be more distraction. I think the reality is that the path is not very clear and the separation if and when it happens is also not very clear. Of course we have had the impact which Mohit has seen because of RBS, but beyond that the impact has not been significant.
Adith Charlie
Ravi, Adith again from CNBC TV18, we have seen a marginal dip in the overall headcount. Over the last three months, I think the headcount number has come down by about 66, again is this a seasonal thing or is this the impact of machine learning and automation everything coming together?
Ravi Kumar S.
A small part of it is seasonal, but what you would notice is the number of headcount we have added. Just looking at Q3 year-on-year, we have improved significantly. What I really mean is we have added lesser headcount than similar quarters of the past. Clearly, there is more release of people from production projects because of automation so that they could be used for more meaningful work. Our journey of moving from a people to a software-plus people endeavor is kicking in and our clients are actually really leveraging that opportunity. As Mohit earlier spoke about, we are a leader in this space. We want to cannibalize our own services as much as we can so that we could add value to the client ecosystem and therefore the money is actually diverted to more meaningful purposes. Clearly that is the trend. We see more releases of people. We are seeing more productivity baked into large deals. We are seeing the span of automation which was just focused on application maintenance is now expanding into application development, L3 kind of work, more judgmental tasks in the lifecycle of large projects. So this is going to be a reality, it is going to be mainstream, it is going to be stable stakes to be in this business. If we are not accepting and acknowledging that, we are going to get obsolete as an industry. We are very keen to adopt it, cannibalize ourselves, be bold, tell our clients that this is very important for them, very important for us and bite it. But what happens is capital gets reinvested into newer purposes and that is our entire value proposition. We want to renew existing landscapes, divert that capital to newer purposes where you could invest into digital, invest into cloud, invest into newer areas.
Adith Charlie
Are the redeployments happening at the same pace as the releases?
Ravi Kumar S.
The utilization is a great indication in spite of the fact that we released 2,600 to 2,700 people this quarter just based on automation and applying automation to our services. But our utilization is just you take Q3 and compare it with Q3 year-on-year, it has been an all-time high. It is a big leap from the previous Q3 and that is a great indication of not just operational efficiencies, but also the fact that we are applying automation far well and actually redeploying people for higher value-added jobs if I may.
Sajeet
Good morning gentleman, Happy New Year to you. This is Sajeet here from Bloomberg-Quint. Just want to get an idea of how is the Retail space doing because that was a struggling space in the last two quarters and a lot of automation was going into that sector as well? If you can give us a idea of how the BFSI space is doing with respect to some of your products and as automation kicks in what kind of leverages you are able to get from in terms of margins?
Sandeep Dadlani
I will take Retail first. Retail-CPG let us look at the macro first. We have had a great holiday spending season in the US. Reports are that it grew 4.7% year-on-year. If you double click on that, about 22% of that spending went through e-commerce which is an unprecedented high. Then if you double click further on that, bricks and mortar retailers have grown by about 1.6% year-on-year. Department stores are getting obsolete in terms of store closing in a massive way. There are more store shutdowns now per month than ever before both across America and Europe. However, electronics retailers or general merchandiser retailers are doing generally better than others. How does that translate to us? It has become very clear to us and if you can see our press release today, you have a couple of retailers choosing us for our AI-led, automation-led support and maintenance work because they are trying to cut cost dramatically and drive automation dramatically. Then there are CPG companies who have chosen our Skava platform aggressively for a direct-to-consumer strategy. They are removing the retailer in their paths to the consumer and directly developing a relationship to the consumer which means that perhaps Retail and CPG, using the broader industry term is the first to go through a massive digital disruption. So despite the headline of growth, that disruption is key. How has Infosys done in that? If you look at quarter 1, we grew this vertical at about 5.5% and gathered more incremental revenue from the market than perhaps any other competitor in this space. Q2 was an okay quarter for us but then Q3 now is a flat quarter and this is perhaps one of the better Q3 we have had in this vertical which is normally a negative Q3 due to holiday shutdowns, furloughs, etc. in Retail CPG. If you take the last nine months put together and compare incremental market shared captured, I think we have done a phenomenal job, year-on-year growth rate for us in this vertical has been above company average. We have seen a dramatic shift in spend here and the spend is going first towards Skava which is our digital retail CPG platform, related digital services and the digital practice that Ravi runs, second towards AI and Mana, so they are solving core machine learning based business process problems and transforming their processes, third towards robotic process automation. We have a world class product called AssistEdge that a number of Retail and CPG companies are adopting. I feel very comfortable with the way we are investing in digital technologies, in new technologies, in automation, in AI as we go towards Q4 and for that matter FY18, confident that regardless the way the macro indicators go, we are positioned well as a leader to capture market share in this industry.
Sajeet
Are you seeing the industry going to an omni-channel route, which we are seeing gradually happening in India as well at some point with some of the retailers? are you seeing the same thing happening there as well or the industry has gone over that route already?
Sandeep Dadlani
Well, it is a dramatic change as you rightly pointed out and it is happening across the world. Primarily, the Amazonification of this industry, but it is clear that the basket sizes are much higher if as a consumer you go through the online website, the mobile app and the in-store experience of a retailer. So Amazon in fact is launching physical stores now as you can see because they are also trying to become differentiated omni-channel retailer. The answer is yes, this is happening and we feel that we are very well positioned. If you see Skava, one of our leading products, it has had as many in-store deployments of kiosks as it has had in mobile applications or in e-commerce. That shows that we have not just invested in an online platform, we are investing in an omni-channel platform. That is why our adoption is very high. Skava now has great adoption not just in Retail CPG, the same trend we are seeing in banking & financial services and utilities with Rajesh and Mohit. We are seeing this omni-channel trend that will play out across all industries.
Sajeet
What about the fact that retail stores are now becoming warehouses rather than retail online because people are using digital to book and pick it up from there rather than, so there is a clubbing of store on the ground which we are seeing, is that also bringing in opportunities for you as well?
Sandeep Dadlani
You have clearly done your reading on the industry. You are right. Ravi has a practice called the Enterprise Applications Services Practice that particularly focuses on converting a regular retailer into an omni-channel retailer using the stores as fulfillment point, using some amazing technologies. We have not just Skava but he has a great practice in sterling and other auto management technologies. We have productized those technologies very well and offer them as a service. Our ultimate goal is that as this industry transforms on omni-channel, on stores as a warehouse, on redundant stores, etc., that along with our software and Ravi’s large differentiated delivery practices, we build the ultimate business process experience for our customers so that they can eventually build an amazing consumer experience for their customers. That is very powerful when you bring people and software together. Once again, we feel very comfortable with the leadership position that we have taken in the market in this industry.
Sajeet
On the BFSI side Mohit?
Mohit Joshi
I think on the BFSI side, this has been an area of historical strength for us and overtime we have worked to build it. I will just talk about three things. The first is the work that we are doing to build deep sub-vertical capabilities. This is something where Ravi and I, we speak multiple times a day about how do we make sure that we can sharpen our proposition, how can we make sure that we build domain expertise because at the end of the day their domain expertise then translates into a number of areas. It translates into capabilities in products and solutions made by other companies and it translates into capabilities in products and solutions and platforms that we are building ourselves. The first piece of work that we are doing is to make sure that we work very closely with the global delivery organization and the BPO organization that Ravi runs to build those capabilities. The second piece is around the trends. As has been fairly in this discussion and several other discussions, all of our clients are looking to build applications and platforms and systems that can adapt, that can respond autonomously and the future really belongs to those consulting companies and those software plus services companies. They are offered these platforms. I am very confident that Infosys is the leader in this space bar none in being able to develop these AI and automation platforms and capabilities in building those digital capabilities. So that is the second piece of your questions. The third piece is around the spend. I feel that from a Q4 perspective as well as from a calendar year 2017 perspective, the spend prognosis does look good. It does look good compared to the same time last year. Clients are more optimistic about their own revenues and therefore, their spend. Obviously cost reduction continues to be our priority for our clients, but unlike previous years, what they are looking to do is to take the savings that they get from run the bank-type activities through automating those through AI interventions there and to use that pool of money into transformational programs. The spend outlook is positive. The key trend is clearly AI and automation along with digital. From our perspective we are working very closely together all of us to make sure that we can sharpen our domain capabilities, sharpen our industry capabilities, make all of our use cases very relevant to our client base rather than those being generic.

Speaker
Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Q3 Press Conference at Infosys. We will now start the press conference with opening remarks from Dr. Vishal Sikka followed by questions from our friends from the print media first after which the TV channels will ask the questions. Over to you, sir.
Vishal Sikka
We will start with the Q&A.
Speaker
We will not be having opening commentary. We will start with the Q&A.
Participant
Hi, Vishal sir. So, basically last time we were here you said that you will reserve your comments for 8th of November. Now, the unexpected has happened. Is there any contingency plans, in case that whatever he has said that and he means that. So, is there any contingency plan? Second thing you talked about automation in your New Year message to your employees. So, does that mean that you are reducing the employee count or any which way you are hiring less? And what is the plans of Infosys on the hike, incremental front on the hike?
Vishal Sikka
On the hike.
Participant
Salary hike.
Vishal Sikka
On the US election, we believe that given the background of the President-Elect, given his career as an innovator and entrepreneur, businessman, we expect that the administration will be a business friendly administration, entrepreneurial innovation driven administration. Our long-term focus is to ensure that we continue to be innovative, we deliver based on what our clients need. On the Visa front, we expect that there will be changes in the policies. The administration starts next week and it is too early to tell depending on the nature of the policies that are adopted, we will have to address and we will as we learn more. In terms of the automation, that is one of the key drivers of our strategy and we continue to make very solid progress on that. I am really happy with the results that we have achieved on this front in the last quarter. We did around 2,700 people, we freed because of automation. This is not the same as eliminating the job, this is eliminating people worth of equivalent jobs. One of the effects that it has had is that it has slowed down the number of people that we have added. As Ranga mentioned this in the morning, that we have added something like 5,700 people in the first nine months of this year compared to more than 17,000 in the first nine months of last financial year. So as I have said before, we should expect that we will continue to increase in our size but the rate at which the size increases will slowdown.
Participant
Last time you also talked about virtual global delivery system as well. So, how is the progress going on? Might be it can help in addressing the needs when it comes to H1 needs of the IT companies?
Vishal Sikka
That is a technology. If you look at this room, we have a huge screen here and we can actually do a large-scale video conference from this room. Similarly, immersive, next generation collaboration technology can really have a significant impact in how a global workforce can come together and that is an integral part of our strategy to become less dependent on visas over time and become more local in our approach. Ravi maybe you want to talk about VGDM and overall the local Visa situation?
Ravi Kumar S.
Yes. The legislation process is going to take time. In spite of that, or irrespective of that, we continue to keep a focus on local hiring and we have been doing that for many quarters now. We only supplement capabilities which are needed in addition to what we hire locally. Our primary going in position has been that we will hire locally there. So that will continue, we will strengthen it, we will make more investments, that is one part of the story. The second part of the story is there are services which could have better off shoring, that will continue leveraging the investments you spoke about on technology which can make the onsite offshore Global Delivery Model far more effective. The technology has evolved so well over the last so many years that we could actually leverage it better. So, that is the second part of our process.
The third is looking at better methodologies to execute programs which will help us to have lesser people, more software that is a part of our overall story, part of our overall way of changing our paradigm from just people to software plus people model. That will help us and automation is one of them. Automation leads to actually make the business less people dependent. So, all of them put together comprehensively should support our business model.
Narayankar
This is Narayankar from Press Trust of India. This question is for Vishal Sikka. I have browsed through the numbers chart. The Company has further lowered guidance, surprisingly the Company has registered minus 66 employment addition. If you look at the Q3 performance the top-line is slightly below or more or less in line with expectation, so nothing large to cheer about. So what it indicates is that the company is not operating at peak efficiency. Amidst all this, there are disappointing reports of existence of two power center, that is Narayana Murthy and yourself. There is also appointment of Punita Sinha controversy secondly, promoter being unhappy with compensation offered to you and the Rajiv Bansal controversy, etc., etc. Even the analysts are not enthusiastic about the company achieving $20 bn target in next three year despite it has reached the milestone of $10 bn so far. So, Mr. Sikka the picture looks gloomy. So, considering all these facts, what is your counter coming to your all the points which I have raised.
Vishal Sikka
First of all, I have to thank you for bringing a hat into this room. That is an incredibly cool hat sir and you have the distinction of being the only person in the hat with a hat in this room. I was wondering who it was? I was asking Pravin and Ranga and now you have asked your question. I understand that all of you have a lot of interest in these kind of questions and we have repeated answered these and around this fictional power center and all of these other issues that you have raised so. I am not going to raise that until another time.
On the guidance perhaps Ranga you want to answer the question on the guidance?
M.D. Ranganath
Yes. I think I just want to correct that, we have not reduced the guidance. If you look the last quarter when typically one more quarter is left, what we have done is that in October we had indicated constant currency guidance of 8% to 9%, that 8% to 9% assume certain growth rate in Q3 which was negative 0.6% but since we have done better than negative 0.6% in this quarter, automatically the lower end of the guidance moves up. So, earlier it was 8% to 9% now it is 8.4%, 8% has become 8.4% it has moved up.
Now, the 9% upper end of the guidance, if you look at some of our peers and us, we have always followed a practice that in the last quarter our guidance range cannot be too wide like 1% - 1.5%. As the year progresses, the band of guidance shrink because only one more quarter is left. That is why our guidance band is typically 0.5%. So, important point to note is earlier, guidance at lower end was 8% that has moved up, now we are saying it is 8.4%. In that sense it has moved up. So, I just want to correct that.
Narayankar
One more question it is for Mr. Sikka. The media has been agog with the fears surrounding H1 B issue and it has always been an issue off late, I have been tracking for so long. The companies are fearing the bill passed in the US congress will increase their administrative cost and render H1 beholder jobless as it would eliminate master degree exemption, that is a big worry for most of the IT workforce, so they do not have such qualification. But is there any real cause of worry at all? Will Trump risk losing revenues coming from the Indian IT firms and does the company really require more skilled workers to be sent overseas especially when IT majors are making strides into Cloud, Digital, and Networking?
M.D. Ranganath
Let me address the first part of your question on the regulatory changes. As we have said earlier, the particular bill that you talked about was there one year ago and there are many more bills which have been in the previous administration as well with various proposal. This is again a bill that was in last year July it has come back, re-introduced. So, typically what we have seen so far is that there is a long legislative process that happens Amendments, some changes etc. So finally what is the final adoption that happens on the bill, what kind of proposals will be adopted into law, is uncertain at this stage. We are closely monitoring to see what exactly is the progress there. While we do that even not just now last couple of quarters as well as Ravi was mentioning earlier, we have been hiring locals and we are compliant with whatever the local regulations require us in terms of payment. It is primarily not really driven by regulations the salary is driven by the demand and supply. If you go to Silicon Valley or any other place, if you want to hire some Hadoop expert or some other expert, the market forces determine what is the salary that we need to pay in that area. So we are closely monitoring and we will see how it progresses.
Archana
Hi, this is Archana from Reuters News. So, my question is going back to automation. What do you think the market for automation and digital services look like for Infosys in this year? And do you think the automation in Cloud business is actually cannibalizing the traditional business of Infosys?
Vishal Sikka
I think that automation is a massive opportunity for us for our industry. The opportunity to use AI to bring productivity improvement to our existing services that we deliver is a massive opportunity. In addition there is the opportunity to build new kinds of solutions using AI. When we look at what it does in the first category, the opportunity to build AI based services, AI amplified services, can help us improve our productivity so that we can do more with less for more. The Indian IT services industry is a very large industry now. We have more than 3.5 mn people that we employ n all of that. But at the same time, we serve a relatively small number of businesses. Infosys has around a thousand clients, other companies are all in the similar range. Whereas I was at SAP in our products, we used to have tens of thousands of customers. So I think that AI driven productivity improvement can help us expand our customer base and can help us achieve more productivity. If we are too late to this automation adoption then you are right, it can have a disruptive impact on our industry. However because a lot of the jobs that we do in BPO for example in L1 and L2 support in IT operations, these jobs can increasingly be done with more and more automation. So I think that if we are not fast enough to embrace this and bring it to our work, then we risk cannibalizing this. However, I believe it is still early and the opportunity to grow with automation in IT operation and in IT services is a huge opportunity. Similarly, the unprecedented new opportunity of building new kinds of applications using AI is a huge one. This is why I am particularly proud that in Q3 again, Mana had a doubling of customer adoption quarter-on-quarter. Both in the Mana for IT services as well as in building new business solutions, what Sandeep calls ‘Mana for business’, in both those areas we have strong growth.
Participant
One question here Vishal. In the revenues from project type, fixed price project revenues have been increasing by whopping numbers both on quarter-on-quarter basis as well as when it comes to last 12 months’ number, while as the time and material numbers have been reducing by the similar margin. Is there any strategy behind that or is it just by coincidence that it is happening?
Vishal Sikka
No, we are working on this in a focused way. Ravi and Pravin and our delivery team a lot of leaders are here. We have a dedicated focus on increasing our fixed price presence and improving the margin in fixed price projects. The reason for that is obviously once it is a fixed price project then our opportunity to bring automation-led innovation and improvements to that project becomes significantly easier and has less of a cannibalizing effect. In T&M projects, we have introduce automation as an additional thing because otherwise you would end up lowering the amount of effort and so forth. Therefore, we have Ravi has a dedicated focus on bringing more conversion from T&M to fixed price and you are seeing the results of that. Ravi, you want to anything to it?
Ravi Kumar S.
As Vishal said, we have a focused effort to improve margins on fixed price programs as well as increase the ratio of fixed price deals. There are also some service lines which are amenable for large fixed price contracts like infrastructure services, application development and maintenance, enterprise application package, transformational work. If you would have noticed, our infrastructure business grew by 20% year-on-year and that is a phenomenal thing because there a lot of customers are actually migrating workloads to the Cloud. So by design we are focusing on improving fixed price ratios and then the services which are more amenable for fixed price deals, we are actually focusing on growing them. So it is by design, it is not by chance.
Varun Sood
Hi, Vishal. Varun Sood from MINT here, behind you. A couple of questions. Sir, firstly in the first-half of the day at least the management commentary on the quarter gone by seems to have said that because of macroeconomic uncertainty and because of being a seasonally weak quarter this is the growth number which Infosys reported. But yesterday, TCS reported its results and it was better than Infosys. So, my question over here to you is that what are your thoughts on this quarter? Was it poor execution, was it some major ramp downs because if we look at top 5, top 10, top 20 clients, all of them have seen a significant decline. So, were they something just limited to Infosys or is it just the macroeconomic sir?
M.D. Ranganath
Let me take the first part. I just want to correct you Varun. In the morning we never said macroeconomic. In fact what we said today in the morning was told by us as early as August. We have said that there is RBS, there is a decline in that it will impact our revenues from Q3 onwards. We have told way back in August then we reiterated again in October. So we are not blaming macroeconomic environment, we have always been very-very specific why it is going to happen. So even the morning commentary was specific saying that Q3 is typically seasonal, in addition we had this, we quantified that how much it is, and we said how the other pieces look like and in fact, the lower end of the guidance was increased.
Coming back, you were saying, I would like to highlight one point to you. If you look at the other peers that you mentioned, last quarter they the incremented revenue was 12 and we grew 10x more than them. The same logic if you were to use last it would look exactly the opposite, right. So, I think while it is important to look at data, it is important to look at the same time at quarter-to-quarter. What is more reasonable is really to look at the nine months’ performance. If you look at the nine months performance this year as compared to the nine months, we have grown 9.4% in constant currency and 8.3% in reported terms. We believe that even on both we will be pretty much at the higher end of the industry growth in this particular year. We are not the only one to revise guidance this year, several of our peers have done that, NASSCOM has done that. If you look at the relative performance of Infosys this year so far and the relative performance of Infosys last year we are pretty much at the industry growth range. So I think that particular observation of yours is incorrect. So we are not blaming environment, we have been focusing on execution and even in morning whatever we said was clearly focusing on execution.
Varun Sood
So, are you content, are you satisfied with this quarter’s performance sir?
M.D. Ranganath
Well I think just to say that we have said in the morning clearly what we are happy about the performance and we have given what we plan to do, we have talked about margins, we have talked our increasing lower end of the guidance, we have talked about attrition, we have talked about higher operationally efficiency parameters like highest utilization in Q3 which is seasonally weak, we have talked about consistently above 80% utilization and we have all set the expectations. That has been hallmark of our transparency since we got listed in 1993.
Varun Sood
Sir, on Q4 you are factoring in, correct me if I am wrong here. 1.3% sequential growth if you do at best 7.6%. Although the management commentary when asked that how do you look at Q4, you are saying Q4 looks to be a lot better. So, assuming you do 7.6% given the currency at the end of December, you are factoring in 1.3% which will be less than the 1.6% growth in the Q4 of last year considering Q4 is always important because of the exit rate. Is not there a dichotomy because the management is saying Q4 is good yet the numbers are a lot less.
M.D. Ranganath
What we have given is a range, it is the last quarter of the year. We have narrowed the range, all of our peers do that, we have been doing that. What we have said is lower end of the guidance earlier we expected Q3 to be worse so, it is slightly better then what we expected. So lower end goes up from 8% to 8.4%. Now there is band, 8.4% to 8.8% is a band. So our expectation is that we will be somewhere in that band and that anticipate certain growth. Coming back to your question, we are all very-very aware that Q4 growth rate is extremely important as an exit rate, as Vishal was mentioning in earlier calls extremely important to have a good exit rate in Q4 for a solid or reasonable performance if you want to do in FY 2018. If you want to do that then we have to plan for good Q4 but that is something which we have consistent every time. Last year Q4 was 1.6% but if you go one year before it was negative 2.6%, if you go one year before it was minus 1%. One year before it was flat so, Q4 has its certain element. So, we have to plan for it, at the same time focus on execution as Vishal said earlier. I think one should not really mix up the guidance between what we want to do, what we expect to do and our focus on execution and that execution is clear and Q4 is important for us.
Varun Sood
Fair enough, sir. Sir, nine months, you have mentioned 8.4% growth in these nine months.
Vishal Sikka
9.4% constant currency.
Varun Sood
I am looking at dollars, sir. So, fair enough, even at constant currency. It is a little less than say last year assuming if we factor in your guidance at best 7.6% what is the biggest challenge in this whole strategy of new and renew because it is now about 30 months Vishal for you. If I can ask you where is the new in this whole Infosys, if you can start disclosing say some of the numbers from your platforms business or say Aikido, the initiatives which you had initially spelled out. Going beyond the quotes given our in these press releases, if you can quantify some of the numbers say from the new platforms, how much you have got until now.
Vishal Sikka
Thanks Varun, nice beard by the way. I think beyond what Ranga said, when we look at Q3, at the beginning of Q3 we had some of the seasonal headwind around furloughs and in addition we had the RBS ramp down, this is what we were looking at. So RBS alone had an impact of more than 1%. So, when you factor that our performance came in line with what we expected. So I am happy about that. But what I am particularly happy about is the execution along with the strategies of these two dimensions that you have talked about, ‘renew’ as well as ‘new’. When you look at the ‘renew’ dimension, some of the operational efficiency parameters that kicked-in have worked very well like utilization in Q3 was highest in many years and other factors like this. The automation impact on the existing work force was to the tune of 2,650 or so app. 2,700 people equivalent worth of effort savings that we did with automation and that coupled with the utilization and slowdown in the hiring, has produced the operating margins where we exceeded 25.1%. But one of the more pronounced defects of this software-led strategy, innovation-led strategy, automation-led strategy has been that if you look at the pricing decline, we had a 1.1% constant currency pricing decline quarter-on-quarter. Over the course of the first 9 months of the year, it was 1.8% in constant currency and over year-on-year for Q3, it was -2.2% constant currency. So there is a very clear trend downwards as I have been talking about for the last 2 and half years in the price. Despite this downward price, we managed to improve the revenue per employee to $51,900. As you can see there is a huge gap between $ 51,900 and $ 80,000 which is our aspiration. But we are moving in the right direction. On the ‘new’, Mana adoption continued very strongly again, once again we doubled customer adoption in quarter-on-quarter both in terms of the number of deals and the TCV. The Mana, Skava, Edge and Panaya, out of the new category the four software pillars, each one of them had their best ever quarter. On the Digital Services and the Design Services, we continue to make progress. So all the ‘new’ as well as on the new services out of our delivery organization like the mainframe modernization to cloud service where we had huge adoption now. 25 out of our top 50 clients and more than a 100 of total clients are working on projects to move from their mainframe footprint to cloud. Naveen was at the AWS event where he showcased this as a part of the keynote there. So all the new areas are kicking in. In terms of the disclosure of the numbers, we already have that, Ranga will talk about this and one of the things that we are working on and we are thinking about this right now over the course of this quarter and we are considering doing this starting next financial year is to highlight the new areas separately from a revenue disclosure point of view. Ranga you want to add?
M.D. Ranganath
Yes, I think look at Page 3 of 7 in the fact sheet, the second table clearly calls out how much is the products, how much is the platform, how much is the ‘others’ under product platforms and others. It essentially gives out of the total revenue that we earned in a particular quarter, what percentage came from this and there is a quarter-to-quarter movement, year-to-year movement, last 12 months movement. I think all slicing and dicing is there and one could easily assess what is the revenue from the pieces.
Vishal Sikka
Sandeep can maybe say couple of more things.
Sandeep Dadlani
So just very concretely, in the ‘New’ there are some things that are software-led and to quantify this for you, some of the software-led things Mana, Skava, Panaya, Edge has gone up by more than 33% this quarter. Some very unique business use cases have come out this quarter which did not exist in the last quarter. Skava for example was used by a CPG company for a completely new business model. These are difficult to quantify in terms of growth very clearly but we are thinking through how to do that. If you look at the new services which have emerged from our traditional delivery organization, both AWS and Azure and other cloud platforms migration to them, there the pipeline has almost doubled from quarter-to-quarter. If you look at BI renewal space or salesforce.com or other practices that we have built over the past few quarters which Ravi has built, these have exponential growth rate far higher than the company average. So as we think through all these new services Varun, you will see the quantification coming across but at least in this management team's mind, we are very clear that all these are growing much faster than the company average.
Varun Sood
Thank you sir. But Ranga just one clarification here, products platforms, others that have always been there in Infosys even much before Vishal took over which you always used to call it as a part of EdgeVerve. So it is really confusing, you cannot really take this number and say this is Infosys New, right?
M.D. Ranganath
No, you are right. That is what Vishal point precisely was earlier. Today we are for example products platforms and others rapidly grows in this particular period, what are those platforms, are they new platforms, it is a question. I think we plan to make a meaningful disclosure. We have to have a delicate balance between competitive information and at the same time disclosure and we will look at it and do it.
Speaker
It is good that the company has been on acquiring spree. You have added two in $75 mn bucket, but should not you be sharing the impact of acquisitions the company has made, are they really making profits or do you agree. There is one example Panaya I do not how it is pronounced, one of your expensive buys is still loss making firm.
M.D. Ranganath
Well, I think coming to those all the subsidiary standalone performance, we publish on a standalone basis in our annual accounts that is made public every time and at the same time you have to remember that when we acquire a company, we also have certain synergy benefits. What I really mean by synergy benefits is that by leveraging that particular product or a particular service, some of our existing services carry those products which may reflect in the revenues of other units, it may not really be in the standalone. So there are some of these technical elements because if you look at let’s say acquisition X, we look at only the standalone, it will not truly reflect because some of the revenues would have come to Infosys Limited directly because we would have used that product as a legal entity. I think that is one. We always kind of publish on an annual basis what is the progress on a standalone basis of each of those entities and there is also an elaborate assessment that we do every year.
Vishal Sikka
Just to add, Skava, Panaya, Edge and Mana, each of the four areas had their best quarter ever. I do not know if Skava, Panaya and Noah count as an acquisition spree but why not? I will take that spree. They continue to be a very strong part of our strategy and continue to do very well. We are very happy with the execution in these areas. We shared the success stories through these products in our press release earlier today. So that is on acquisition, this is what I am talking about.
Varun Sood
Vishal just one last question, as a part of this ‘New Renew’ strategy 30 months into the job, what has been one of the toughest challenges for you because it is a very clearly articulated strategy. But is the job getting tougher for you because is there a change in this whole cultural mind shift if I can say so that where you most of the engineers have to be asked repeatedly you been writing emails, your leadership team is also trying to make the organization future ready. What is the biggest challenge because we are not really seeing the growth what was expected when you took the job in August 2014? Thank you.
Vishal Sikka
This is a great question Varun. In terms of the challenges in execution of these, first of all you said ‘Renew’ and ‘New’. In the last 30 months some of these products have been around for a long time. Product itself does not mean new and not all services are Renew. There are many services that we have launched in the course of the last 12 months. Some we have launched 2 to 3 months back. Ravi just in the last quarter launched the Digital Factory together between the Digital practice, Consulting and BPO as well as integrated help desk offering. This is our new service. Sandeep mentioned the cloud oriented services which have all come up in the last 6-9 months. These are all new services. Similarly there is a lot of software that is actually not so new. For example Finacle or McCamish, these have been around for quite a while and we constantly renew these. So ‘Renew and New’ is something that is a part of each one of us, is a part of everything that we do. ‘Renew’ is getting better at the things that we have always known about and ‘New’ is about doing things that we never did before. We have to constantly equip our workforce, our organization, our teams to embrace this duality of simultaneously constantly improving everything that we have done before and continuing to get better at it as well as doing new things that we have never did before and getting into this unprecedented, uncharted territories. It is not an easy transformation. The success of any industry over a long period of time creates its own groove and its own gullies which lock us into those pathways. Our own industry has the evidence by the questions around the visas and so forth, this industry has grown around the costs, visas providing a Global Delivery Model-based services and so forth and we need to evolve more and more towards Automation, towards Innovation, towards becoming more creative and more strategic and so on. That kind of an organizational workforce transformation is a very challenging thing. No one ever shares these transformations are easy. They are always difficult but I am really proud of our team, our management team especially and also our team around the world in embracing these ideas. Navin just put together a new machine learning class. We have been training our Infoscions on AI and machine learning areas. We just put together a new one with a much more hands on teaching experience and in the last two weeks close to 500 people have gone through this. Yesterday I had an opportunity to see a poster session that the kids who took this class put together and there were 100 posters made by teams of 2 to 3 people each, by the ones who just took this class in the last 2 weeks and came up with solutions that they were thinking about. So I am really encouraged every time I spent time with our teams in Zero Distance session or in our education areas and so forth, to see the kind of grass roots change that is taking place. It is going to be a very fundamental change away from delivering value based on cost differentials towards getting everything single Infoscion on to become somebody who embraces innovation. That is the big endeavor here and this is not an easy thing and it is going to take time, but it is a lasting change that we are seeking here and I am extremely encouraged by the progress that we are making.

We will take one more question.
Venkatesh
Hi, Venkatesh here, Business Line. You are talking about hiring locally and local hires and things. So can you give us a sense on how much it has gone up in the last couple of years since you have taken over?
Ravi Kumar S.
No I do not want to give numbers specifically. But what I want to tell you is our position in all the markets we operate is to look for local talent, that’s the first going in position. Only when we do not find skills, we depend on the visa program. That has been our principle in the past and that is going to be our principle for the future. We will extend and make more investment in our major markets like the United States. The second, we will continue to build local centers across the world wherever we can house hubs of talent, where our clients are located, where our employees are located and then create a continued extended training opportunity so that we could even hire adjacent skills and convert them to skills we need. More importantly, we also looking at how to optimize the need to have more onsite talent. That is very important because as you continue to strengthen the onsite-offshore model, you just want to look at advanced technologies as Vishal spoke about earlier, automation to release people not just offshore but release people onsite. So, all of that will continue to remain a part of the process.
Adith Charlie
This is Adith Charlie from CNBC-TV18. Sir one last question. Vishal, if you could just quantify how client spends look like this part of the year and how it compares to say same time last year? Is there an upward bias and what do you say that the demand environment is better than say last year same time?
Vishal Sikka
I do not see any particular slowdown or anything but there is not any particular discernable change compared to a year ago. Like I said again in the US with the new administration coming in, we expect that there is going to be a more business friendly, more innovation friendly atmosphere. So perhaps there will be opportunities to grow, for example in Mohit's area in Banking and Financial Services, we expect that the buyers will be more towards innovation and next generation technologies and so forth. Perhaps somewhat less so towards regulatory and this kind of compliance-oriented spending. But otherwise there is no particular meaningful change in behavior to be talked about.
Rahul
This is Rahul from ET Now. Vishal in September last year, you described GST roll out as one hell of a challenge. While the political logjam really continues, where do you things stand now and would you be able to roll it out as the April 1st deadline is intact? Your thoughts on that? Thank you.
Pravin Rao
We have divided the project into multiple phases. The first phase has been delivered where users have started registering. We are working very closely with the GST and on the timeline. Right now we do not know what the exact go-live date is but whenever go-live date is we should be able to deliver on that.

I now like to pass it on to Dr Sikka.
Vishal Sikka
Thanks, Sandeep. Hi, Everyone. Welcome to our Earnings Call and a Very Happy New Year.
You will all recall that in October, we had mentioned that in addition to the seasonal headwinds of Q3 on account of furloughs and lower working days, we would also see additional headwinds on account of RBS ramp down impacting the Q3 revenue growth. RBS impacted Q3 revenues by little over 1%. After taking into account the above, our Q3 revenue performance was broadly in line with our expectations. Q3 revenues declined by 0.3% in constant currency terms and 1.4% in reported US dollar terms. In terms of the first nine months of the fiscal year over the first nine months of the previous fiscal year, our revenues have grown by 9.4% in constant currency and 8.3% in US dollar terms. We also marked the significant achievement of crossing $10 bn in revenues on the last 12-months basis. I want to thank all the Infoscions present and past, from our founders and Board members, everyone who has contributed to achieving the significant milestone.
The net employee additions of 5,719 in the first nine months of fiscal ’17 compared to 17,196 in the first nine months of fiscal ’16 which is a significant reduction. We continue our relentless focus on introducing automation across our projects in the backdrop of pricing pressure in traditional services and we expect this to reflect in our future hiring.
On the margin front, we have made progress by focusing on operational efficiency. The first nine months’ margins are at 24.7%, which is in the upper half of the 24-25% margin band that we had given for the year. While some operating metrics are lower in Q3 compared to Q2, this should be seen in light of the RBS ramp-down which impacted these beyond the normal Q3 seasonality. Ranga will provide more color on the operational efficiency parameters and margins.
We continue to focus sharply on strong execution of our strategy in terms of large deal wins, top client growth, new services momentum, automation, operational efficiencies and talent engagement. We had 8 large deal wins in Q3 with a TCV of $664 mn. This comprise of $436 mn of new committed value deals and $228 mn of framework deals.
Our talent retention both at senior level and overall organizational level has been healthy. Attrition in Q3 came down to 14.9% compared to 15.7% in Q2. Among high performers, we continue to see attrition at consistently lower levels and I believe that this is due to our ongoing investments including our employee equity program, differential rewards for high performers, talent engagement program such as Zero Distance and giving high performers challenging opportunities to grow into new roles. We will continue to invest in high performers as the future leaders of our company.
We have a strong, committed and stable senior management team. In any large scale and challenging transformation such as the one that we are undergoing, we have to bring in new external talent, promote top talent from within. I am very happy to report that we have promoted Ravi to be the Deputy CEO to help Pravin and me, bring more scale to our operations as we reach extremely large scales now, crossing $10 bn in revenue and also overall bring diversity to the experience and points of view that will help us drive our success.
Coming to our Business Outlook for fiscal ’17, based on our year-to-date performance and our current assessment, we have revised our constant currency guidance from 8-9% to 8.4% to 8.8% for fiscal 17. Over the next three months, we will focus on strengthening our foundation for fiscal 18.
On the external front, we are seeing a changing political landscape in the US as the new administration takes office. While we are closely watching the developments as they unfold, in the absence of visibility on the outcome and the timelines involve.d in any visa reform, it is difficult to assess the impact of such possible developments on our business.
Let me share some details on the execution of our ‘Renew-New’ strategy powered by our culture of learning. On revenue per employee, if we exclude RBS, we can see that RPE is improving despite significant factor including ongoing increasing pricing pressures. I believe this points to the benefits of automation and our efforts in Zero Distance kicking in, as well as evidence of our efforts to move towards higher value work. In addition, we see the evidence of this coming through clearly in our client survey results at the highest since we started the survey 12-years ago,. For me personally, when I meet clients, I see a significant change from 2-years ago. In every conversation, Digital Transformation and AI is at the forefront and the software-led change becoming more agile in their businesses, driving continuous as well as break-through innovation are all high priorities for our clients in every industry. What we see in the survey results is that clients now use Infosys as a strategic partner in their journey to help them realize their potential. We are seeing the starkest improvement at the CXO level, a 22-point increase in customer experience at the CXO level in the last 2-years and again higher CXO satisfaction ever which are both very encouraging sign.
In Renew, in Q3 we continue to make progress on our strategy to renew our services and to help our clients renew their core business.
Zero Distance, our program to drive grass-roots innovation in every project which began nearly 2-years ago, continues to thrive and evolve. More than 95% of the projects are now covered by Zero Distance resulting in new projects and revenue. Key Zero Distance clients and examples include LexisNexis, Arizona Public Services and ABN AMRO who have seen significant benefit from grass-roots innovation in Zero Distance. Going forward, our focus will be on collaboration and learning across Zero Distance themes, looking for bigger problems to solve, break through opportunities that can have a significant impact for the clients, opportunities that we can imagine based on learning from others.
In our Mainframe Modernization Services, we are seeing continued demand across verticals and are already working with 25 of the top-50 Infosys clients. Clients see clear value in moving their Mainframe workload to the Cloud, saving as much as 35% of the run cost through Infosys Services and our partnership with AWS and Microsoft on their Azure platform. For example, we recently did initial testing for DBS Bank to show how offloading large components of batch processing to the AWS Cloud, would help them achieve processing speeds of more than 100x faster than traditional database technology. They believe this could revolutionize the way they run their core banking systems. In our traditional Cloud-based services, we have seen healthy growth led by a strong R&D focus enabling us to bring new solutions to the market. In Data and Analytics, we have had IP-led wins and 16 new clients across our two-big batch in data modernization and data landscape modernization. We have created a SWOT team of leading digital strategists across the globe who are now creating advanced offerings such as ‘Digital Factory’ which in a short period of time has scaled up to a pipeline of more than $150 mn.
API Microservices has seen significant traction in growth in Q3 aided by a launch of IP-led offerings such as the Microservices platform integration work in the API operations management. Internally, we are leveraging our own automation solutions to drive greater efficiency into all our service lines. In Q3, Ravi estimated that we save 2,650 FTEs worth of effort primarily in application maintenance, package systems maintenance, BPO and infrastructure management.
Zero Bench, our program to engage employees in value creation while they are between projects, has created more than 31,800 work packages with more than 15,000 work packages already completed through the end of Q3. Work packets include creating POCs that help win deals, showcasing Mana examples and value delivered to clients, making this very tangible for clients and helping them to leverage and build up our internal knowledge base in testing as well as in other areas. In addition, we are actively piloting an online marketplace initially leveraging our bench resources to perform jobs for our clients worldwide.
In new areas, Q3 was a very healthy quarter for us in all the new software capabilities and we saw tremendous client adoption and excitement around Mana, Skava, Panaya and Edge. All four business lines at their greatest quarter ever. On Mana, we saw client adoption more than double compared to the previous quarter, also as we did in the previous quarter. What is particularly encouraging is that in Q3, Mana was adopted as much for automating IT Services work as it works for solving broader business problems such as reducing concept to shelf time for apparel companies or driving fraud and risk management for banks, operational compliance and labor contract compliance for industrial companies and railroads and so forth. Key new Mana clients include AMD and Kraft Heinz.
On Skava, we saw a strong Black Friday on retail eCommerce sites where volumes were up more than 30%. We also saw great interest in conversion from CPG companies for their direct-to-consumer strategies, interest from financial services on loyalty management, from telecom companies to broaden their client engagement and from utilities companies as well. Kraft Heinz for example has selected Skava to power their eCommerce. Skava is emerging as a comprehensive digital experience and commerce platform for the future around which our digital services can evolve.
The EdgeVerve business delivered solid results with 18 wins and 21 go-lives from both Finacle and Edge suite of solutions across the various markets. AssistEdge, our leading platform in the so-called robotic process automation space, had its best quarter ever. A key highlight for EdgeVerve this quarter was the launch of a pilot block chain network for international remittances and trade finance by the Emirates NBD in the UAE and ICICI Bank, both powered by the EdgeVerve block chain framework.
In Q3, Panaya had its best quarter ever both in terms of bookings and revenue. Overall, the new software lines of business grew 33% faster than the company as we expect software to continue to amplify the work of our team.
In Design Thinking, we continue to work with clients in their key strategic areas. For example, we had a rewarding Design Thinking engagement with Fudan University School of Management in Shanghai in which we help them to deeply reimagine the learning experience and design their new digital campus of the future.
In Culture, learning continues to be our main focus. We have now trained more than 125,000 employees in Design Thinking -- unprecedented in any industry and a key part of our strategy to empower every Infoscion to be an innovator. To rapidly upskill in key in-demand areas, we are accelerating our training efforts around DevOps and Agile with 50% of our project managers and more than 7,200 overall Infoscions now trained on these capabilities.
Finally, we continue to focus on expanding the core competence of every new trainee, with every fresher now required to train in a minimum of three programming languages. More than 10,500 people have been trained in this core program and have moved to delivery.
To nurture future talent and high performers, we continue to invest, as I mentioned in the beginning in our employee. Our Employee Equity Program, Zero Distance and our new Apprenticeship Program, the Stanford Executive Education Program, now with 130 of our leaders as a part of this program, the leadership blue print, etc., are all critical to this and we will continue these efforts.
Looking beyond business, in India, the Infosys Foundation has invested in several impactful programs across a wide spectrum of areas including Rehabilitation, Arts & Culture, Education and Rural Development. Some of the key initiatives of the quarter include the curation of the Infosys Foundation Anupu Festival, Sponsorship of a Kitchen in Hyderabad in partnership with Akshaya Patra Foundation, an endowment to Sahapedia, an NGO for the development of an online interactive web module on arts, culture and the history of India. Development of a Sustainable Village in Madhya Pradesh through Shivganga from Gram Vikas Parishad, along with other investment that will benefit Patients, Children and Youth from Underprivileged backgrounds.
The Infosys Foundation in the USA celebrated Computer Science Education Week, announcing multiple grants to enable underrepresented students across nine states to explore Computer Science and Coding. The Foundation also renewed its partnership with Code.org one of the most active CS Education Advocacy organizations worldwide. The Foundation honored Ten Computer Science Teachers with Awards of Excellence in Partnership with ACM and CSTA and also launched the new 2017 cycle of the Infy Maker Awards in the US which recognize dozens of makers working on projects with deep social impact. Longer-term as of September 30, 2016, the Foundation has had a significant impact on Computer Science Education by enabling more than 134,000 Students in close to 2,500 Schools across all 50 United States to gain access to Computer Science and Maker Education. This was made possible by supporting 2,500 teachers with critical resources such as Computer Science Teacher Training, New Class Room Technology and Teaching Aids on makers basis. Additional 179 Coding Workshops, Hackathons and Coding Clubs held during or after school were also supported by the Foundation and we have continued to build on all of these in Q3.
In closing, we continue to see many promising signs that we are executing along our strategy and indeed our longer-term path to thrive in these times of Artificial Intelligence, to not become displaced by automation, but indeed become a company of innovators where the AIs of our creation solve the great business problems that we find. Our results and the voice of our clients provide the proof points around this and we will continue to build on this.
Now, I will hand it over to Ranga to provide more details on our financial performance.
M.D.Ranganath
Thank you, Vishal. Hello, everyone. Let me start by saying that in Q3, we continue to focus on improving the operational efficiency of business and maintaining healthy cash generation. As you know, Q3 is a seasonally soft quarter due to furloughs and lower working days. In addition, as we had stated earlier in October, this time we had additional headwinds on account of RBS ramp down.
In rupee terms, our revenues in Q3 were Rs.17,273 crores, this is a growth of 8.6% when compared to Q3 fiscal ’16. On a sequential basis, our revenues were down by 0.2%. In dollar terms, on a year-on-year basis when compared to Q3 of fiscal ’16, revenues have grown 6% and 7.3% in constant currency terms. Sequentially, our revenues in dollar terms were down by 1.4% on reported basis and 0.3% on constant currency basis. Impact on revenues on account of RBS was little over 1% in Q3 in reported terms.
If you look at the first nine months of this fiscal over the first nine months of last fiscal, revenues have grown by 11.9% in rupee terms, 8.3% in dollar terms and 9.4% in constant currency terms. Volumes grew by 0.2% during the quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, onsite volume increased by 0.6% and offshore volume increased by 0.1%. The ramp-down in RBS impacted volume growth by over 2% during the quarter. Realization of the quarter declined by 2.2% on reported basis and 1.1% on constant currency basis compared to Q2’17. As you know, there will be quarter-to-quarter fluctuations. Hence a more appropriate indicator will be 9-months of FY17 over 9-months of FY16. On this measure, the realization declined by 2.8% in reported and 1.8% in constant currency terms.
As Vishal mentioned earlier, this quarter’s operating parameters should be seen in the light of the RBS ramp down as they have impacted beyond the normal Q3 seasonality. Our utilization excluding trainees was 81.9%, similarly the utilization including trainees went up to 77.8%. Utilization excluding trainees has been consistently above 80% over the last seven quarters on account of the optimization measures we have undertaken in talent planning and talent supply chain. Onsite mix stands at 29.8% during the quarter.
On a 9-month basis, utilization excluding trainees improved to 81.6% compared to 80.7% for the same period last year. Onsite mix was at 29.8% for 9-months as compared to 29.3% for 9-months last year. Subcon expenses were 5.6% of revenues in Q3 as compared to 6.3% in Q3 of last year. DSO for the quarter was 69-days compared to 64-days in Q2 of ’17. This was primarily due to unbilled revenues which declined by $ 82 mn during the quarter.
Our operating margin for the quarter was 25.1%, an increase of 20 basis points sequentially. During the quarter, rupee appreciated by 1.2% against US dollar which helped us on operating margins by 30 basis points. This was offset by 30 basis points decline due to cross-currency impact that happened during the quarter. Our salary cost declined during the quarter by 130 basis points due to savings on account of lower leave cost primarily on account of higher leave utilization due to the holiday season and lower variable pay. Lower leave cost was also on account of leave lapsing in certain onsite countries and increased interest rates. This was offset by the decrease in realization which was impacted margins by 30 basis points. Increase in CSR contribution during the quarter impacted margins by additional 40 basis points and increase in third-party software and other costs of 40 basis points, leading to an overall 20 basis points improvement in operating margin.
Our emphasis on healthy operating cash flow generation continued in this quarter; we generated operating cash flow of Rs.3,701 crores in Q3 as compared to Rs.3,126 crores last year same quarter. Operating cash flow as a percentage of net profit was 100% this quarter which reflect healthy cash generation. Our cash and cash equivalents as of 31st December was Rs.35,697 crores compared to Rs.35,640 crores last quarter. During the quarter, we paid interim dividend and DDT of Rs.3,029 crores.
We added 9,120 gross employees during the quarter while the employee count declined by 66. As Vishal said, our net employee addition in the first nine months this year is 5,719 employees which is significantly lower than 17,196 in the first nine months of the last year. The quarterly annualized attrition on a standalone basis has decreased by 80 basis points to 14.9%. At the group level, annualized attrition was 18.4% as against 20% last quarter.
Q3 saw volatility in cross-currency especially due to changes in political landscape in the US, increase in interest rates in the US, and expectation of further upward rate revision. We manage to navigate the volatility effectively during the quarter. On a period end basis, USD appreciated by 5.3% against British Pound, 5.6% against Euro and 5.2% against Australian Dollar. Our hedge position as of December 31st were $1215 mn. We expect near-term volatility in cross-currency and rupee and we continue to manage the same through appropriate hedges.
Yield on cash balances was 7.7% in Q3 compared to 7.8% in Q2 of this year. We expect yields for FY17 to be approximately 7.5% as compared to 8.6% in last fiscal due to continuing reduction in interest rates in India in the backdrop of demonetization in November ’16. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 28.1%, full year effective tax rate projection is expected to be around 29%. Our net margins during the quarter were 21.5% compared to 20.8% in Q2. Our EPS for the quarter was Rs.16.22; EPS grew 7% on year-on-year basis and by 2.8% on sequential basis. EPS for nine-months grew 8.6% in rupee terms and 5.1% in dollar terms.
Coming to margin expectations, we will continue to optimize the operational efficiency levers that we have been mentioning on an ongoing basis. In October, we had indicated that the margin guidance for FY17 to be in the range of 24-25% for the year. For the first nine months of fiscal ’17, our operating margins were 24.7% compared to 24.8% in the first nine months of last fiscal. Given the progress that we have made so far in the year, we have kept the margin band unchanged at 24-25% for fiscal ’17.
With that, we will open the floor for Questions.
Moderator
Thank you very much, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the Question-and-Answer Session. The first question is from the line of Ravi Menon from Elara Capital. Please go ahead.
Ravi Menon
I have two questions: One is on the decline in the top client and top 5 clients. Is this primarily due to currency or is there something else if you could give some color about it, that would be great.
Vishal Sikka
The top clients decline is largely because of RBS Ravi, and obviously in Q3 we used to have seasonal impact from furloughs and lower working days but generally there is nothing significant to that.
Ravi Menon
Secondly, Ranga, you mentioned something about how the cost of employees been managed a little bit this quarter also because of leaves taken, if you could clarify how that affected, not sure how the cost recognition norms work for that?
M.D.Ranganath
Yes. As I said the variable pay was also lower this quarter because variable pay typically is linked to the revenue growth. That plus the leaves put together is 130 basis points, so variable pay plus lower leave cost. So typically if you see in Q3 people take leaves, during the furlough season so that is one aspect. The second one is, in the certain countries, onsite countries the leave lapses, that is the second reason. That is the phenomenon in the quarter, in December 31st quarter. Also the increase in interest rates, that is to a smaller degree. The increase in interest rates which has gone up in the US changes how we value our leave liabilities, but that is a smaller part. But the larger one is variable pay and leave lapsing in certain onsite countries and higher leave utilization in holiday season.

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Anantha Narayan from Credit Suisse. Please go ahead.
Anantha Narayan
Thank you and Happy New Year to the management team and congratulations on a fairly solid quarter. I had a couple of questions. The first one was on the visa regime and Vishal as you mentioned in the opening comments that it is difficult to predict at this point of time. But if you would take a shot at what could be your worst-case scenario in terms of any administrative action taken in the US, what would it be? And secondly, is it possible to quantify any mitigating steps that you might have taken over the last 18-24 months?
Vishal Sikka
Hi Anantha, Happy New Year to you too man. No it is not, we cannot quantify that. There are lots of different scenarios and so forth. The simple mitigation is local hiring and as you know I have been emphasizing that. Since I started my journey, myself being a senior local hire in this company in the US. So local hiring is a very good thing, especially in innovative areas, bringing contextual innovation to our clients, not only in the US but also in Australia. In Singapore recently for example we saw the 50-50 role go into effect and in Europe and other geographies. Our endeavor is to get strong local hiring augmented with the best of global talent around and not so much deliver value based on cost, but deliver value based on innovation that the people bring and also use that as a mechanism for our hiring strategy. If you look at our hiring commentary and employment commentary that also reflects the same principle. My own sense is that the administration is going to be a business friendly, innovation friendly and more entrepreneurial-oriented administration given the background and the career of the President-Elect himself. I think that therefore if we can continue our strong focus on innovation, on delivering value in strategic area for our clients, software led innovation, I think this is going to be fine.
Anantha Narayan
Okay and my second and final question Vishal was, if you can take one more shot at the previous question on the top clients’ performance. It seems to be something going on there because if you would have just break the performance based on the reported metrics into the top clients, client numbers 4-5 and 6-10, there seems to be some significant declines across all these three. So is there some structural sort of trend happening with these clients given that they are so large in size now or we are reading too much into this?
Vishal Sikka
No Anantha, I think that there is a sort of a yo-yo effect on all of these things. If you remember a year ago, we had put in a strong focus on top 25 client growth and so forth and then we suddenly see that the non-top 25 started to decline and that is not a good thing. We have been focusing on a broad-based Zero Distance innovation and so forth across the entire client base and some seasonal things happened and so forth and so you see that. In our top 25 and in our top 10, there are several manufacturing companies which had a huge furlough and less working day related impact. There is of course RBS and couple of other banking clients. There were some seasonal related things. So there is not anything particularly to read in there. I will ask Mohit to see if he wants to add anything to this.
M.D.Ranganath
Sure, thanks Vishal. So to Anantha, just to add on to that point as Vishal rightly mentioned, there are two factors. Now, one is of course the RBS thing which certainly was part of the top 10 as well as the furloughs that we typically see in Q3. So I think if we look at this, then we have a growth actually. Another data point I would like to kind of mention is, if you look at the top 25 accounts to kind of normalize for the RBS on a year on basis in constant currency, they have grown 8%. So that is something which I just wanted to mention as an additional input.
Mohit Joshi
Yes. This is Mohit here. So I just wanted to make two points. One is as Vishal has mentioned, given the fact that you are looking at a fairly small pool of say 10 clients, any volatility in a single client really gets very amplified when we look at the numbers on a quarterly perspective. But if you look at the overall perspective, the long-term perspective, we are very focused on our top 10 and top 25 clients and we are very comfortable that their growth will be at par or higher than the Infosys average, that is the first point. The second thing is, we are structurally and institutionally doing things to promote this growth. We have internally with the senior leaders in the company identified about 15 odd accounts that we think will grow to (+$100) mn and there is a very structured intervention that is going on in terms of people, in terms of process, in terms of technology intervention to take these accounts to the next level. So we are comfortable with where we are and we have a plan to get a lot sharper at this.
M.D.Ranganath
Yes Anantha, so one more point. As Mohit was saying, one of the key elements that our focus is on the $100 mn clients. So I think last year same quarter, an increase of 5 more currently it is at 18. I think there are seasonalities, so I think if there is a concern that it is a broader top account growth decline, no, these are that these two principle factors that we mentioned.
Moderator
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Surendra Goyal from Citi Group. Please go ahead.
Surendra Goyal
Good afternoon everyone. My first question is for Dr. Sikka. With people awaiting clarity on the new US administration policies and the anti-outsourcing rhetoric, do you see any risk of delays in budgeting or spending as we go into calendar 17?
Vishal Sikka
Surendra, I do not see the risk of budgeting and so forth. Obviously, some of our clients have reached out to us to see if we see any things that they need to consider or things of this nature. But as I said in general, first of all on the visa policy and so forth, we do expect that there will be changes. But it is too early to tell. So as we understand it better, we will obviously share that with you. However on a longer term basis, I think a strong focus on local hiring, local contributions to the economy is something that is going to be necessary and most importantly a focus on innovation with value to the client in a new techno friendly regime. So I think that from that point in long-term all our focus in this direction.
Surendra Goyal
Sir just to clarify, clients are not holding back because of these uncertainties, right?
Vishal Sikka
No, not so far.
Surendra Goyal
Ranga, just a small clarification here. This RBS ramp down, was there any one-off impact on margins, one-time payments, severance or anything of that kind?
M.D.Ranganath
No, not at all. If you are referring to termination charges etc., no, we did not have any termination charges on account of RBS. There were no such charges.
Mohit Joshi
And to add to what Vishal was saying on the Banking and Financial Services side, I think this quarter had shown the resilience that despite a fairly significant ramp down, the overall performance of the unit was still quite robust. Post RBS drop, we managed to defend our revenue quite well. I think from a FY’18 and from a Q4 perspective, the pipeline is looking good from a US perspective because the question is specifically about Trump, the increase in interest rates and what you are seeing happening to the stock prices of most of our US clients means that there is more optimism in terms of spend. While there is still a focus on cost reduction, a lot of this saving from cost reduction are being ploughed back into transformational programs and so that picture does look good.
Moderator
Thank you. Next question is from the line of Viju George from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.
Viju George
Good afternoon. Happy New Year to the management team. Thank you for giving me an opportunity. I just wanted to sort of echo what Anantha had observed earlier and I am not totally satisfied with explanation in terms of your impact on top clients. Your top client has declined $13 mn in Q-o-Q, top 2 to 5 have declined another $13mn, top 6 to 10 have declined $25 mn Q-o-Q. So, it seems to me that it is more than just sporadically hitting 1 or 2 clients because of the RBS impact and the seasonality that you see it, anything going on that we should be worried about there?
M.D.Ranganath
Hi Viju, this is Ranga here. So, coming to the top client that you have mentioned, growth impact is primarily an account of furlough, we know that specific case very well. It happens in this particular quarter every year. So, that is one and the second one is RBS. The other point I was mentioning was on the top 25 growth. If you adjust for RBS, then in constant currency terms year-on-year growth has been 8%. So, while we do see that these couple of furloughs and seasonalities and RBS has kind of accentuated, we are not really saying that we have had the best top account growth ever in this quarter and things like that, I think that still continues to be our focus and whether these are all for across the board or is it the couple of clients, is it really broadly changing the other profile is the one that we were trying to address. So it is not to say that we are happy with the top account growth at each level.
Viju George
And this question is for Vishal may be. As you look out to 2017, I just want to get your sense of how your org design will look like, I mean when you look at go-to-market, is there any way you looking to reconfigure the organization from a delivery or go-to-market perspective because the perception at least is that Infosys seems to be heavily centralized in the hands of a few, it may be just perception. But are any thoughts on how you deal with org design changes going into the New Year?
Vishal Sikka
Viju, good to hear your voice. Happy New Year. Viju on the earlier question, I want to mention one more thing to add to what Ranga said. Even with the declines in many of these top accounts that you have mentioned, our share of the market within the account is actually increasing. So that is also something that we are happy about. So the rest of it is because of the seasonality and the one-time things that Ranga talked about. We continue to have very strong relationships with our top clients.
With regard to the outlook as we get into 2017 and beyond, I think that generally the entire world around us is going through this huge transformation because of technology, because of digital, and because of AI. Therefore, our focus is this duality of automation and innovation. You need a horizontal layering-oriented delivery mechanism for that. In fact you need even more cohesion in recruiting, in managing talent, in articulating talent, in understanding the nature of the demand and shaping the organization along with that as we evolve towards a much more agile, innovation friendly organization. As you said correctly, I am a deep believer that any large-scale system in the universe is a decentralized system with local empowerment and we have that. However from the top, we have to organize our delivery and technology along the life cycle of the services, along the nature of the services which is much more horizontal. So we achieved global scale there and you can see that in the results in the last 2.5 years. While the go-to-market and the local expertise and the industry expertise has to be delivered de-centrally, so in the last quarter we had the first quarter of our experience with the 15 new industry heads that we established. Mohit, Sandeep, Rajesh, myself as well as Ravi, Pravin and Ranga, we worked very closely with these 15 industry heads. I have had a chance to work very closely with them and really think about both the evolution of the existing account base as well as going into new accounts in a very focused and empowered kind of a way. So, I think that this combination of global scale and local empowerment is what is necessary. I think that this is a model that has worked, others in the industry are following this model and I think that it helps us to achieve this dual objective of avoiding fragmentation and achieving scale while enabling free lanes for our leaders to execute on. One more important point here is obviously that few of our new areas are software-led. As you know in our business, we have a strong concentration of clients and in total we have 1000+ clients and there is a strong concentration at the top whereas in the software business you need a larger number of clients. So we do have to organize our go-to-market in a way that we can serve the dual opportunity. As I mentioned in my commentary earlier, the Mana success in Q3 was both in Mana for IT as well as in new areas where we help bring solutions for the very first time. Similarly Skava, Edge, Panaya these apply to a much larger number of clients that we can attract with our traditional go-to-market in the services area. As we get closer to those kinds of scales which will probably happen in the next 12 to 18 months, we will enhance our go-to-market to deal with those things. But for now, I am very satisfied and I believe that this is in fact a model that others in the industry are actually emulating.
Viju George
Just one last question, Mohit you had indicated that with interest rates perking up things in financial services start looking up. How is your outlook on Europe particularly on Financial Services, is there any lingering effect post Brexit and broadly at European level also, are you seeing Europe settling down or is a sort of coming up post Brexit? Thanks.
Mohit Joshi
Hi Viju, so I think look in Europe our Financial Services performance actually has been stellar for the past 5 years. Europe has grown faster than our US business again for the past 3 to 4 years. I have no doubt that the business trend that will continue to remain strong. The only sort of visible impact at scale that we saw from Brexit was the Williams & Glyn RBS ramp-down. Other than that, we remain extremely optimistic about our European business, we have had a string of fairly significant client acquisitions, we are digging deeper into our existing clients in terms of large transformational programs. So, the Europe business outlook is very good for the next 12 months.

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Ashish Chopra from Motilal Oswal Securities. Please go ahead.
Ashish Chopra
A couple of questions from my side. Firstly Vishal on automation while we understand it is still pretty early days and probably in the nascent stages, just wanted to get your thoughts a little bit on the competitive landscape especially in terms of the approach by some of the peers which is slightly differentiated in the sense of partnering with the automation-specific companies and products and platforms who may actually have an edge in terms of building these products over the last 7 to 10 years versus our endeavor on really going strong on Automation in the last couple of years. So do you think that competitive intensity as a result is higher that you would have to match up to in terms of capabilities?
Vishal Sikka
Ashish, that is a great question. Actually on speaking of Edge, we have the Edge. I think that is a fantastic question. So, first of all as a services company we have to always be open to partner with whatever the great software products of our times are and there is something that we absolutely will continue to be deeply committed to and never abandon. But when you think about the opportunity to bring Automation to our existing business, we do need that deep collaboration with our own engineers, whether it is our maintenance engineers or application developers or L2 and L1 support and operations engineers. To have that deep contractual understanding of what it is that they do, so that they can build the software for their unique needs. Therefore the software has to be built by us. We have to be build it in close proximity with them. Even though we have to be open to everybody’s software and in fact Ravi has done significant partnerships over the course of this quarter with new vendors in various kinds of business process and automation and so forth, we do have to build our own software. Now when you think about building our own software so that we can uniquely serve the needs of our engineers, you quickly realize that if all we did was build that software for ourselves, then we get into this kind of an inbred situation where our software is basically for ourselves and most companies in our industry are actually doing that. They are only building the software for their own services, teams and for their own existing business models whereas in order to be successful, the software has to be world class. It has to compete on its own with the outside world. It has to be able to bring the best of what is outside to its capabilities. Therefore the software also has to be independent and it cannot only be in service of our own services. It has to also be able to be software that great new applications can be built on. That is why we track the adoption of Mana both in our existing IT services as well as in new kind of applications that we have built on them. I mentioned a few really extraordinary examples that we brought to life over the course of this quarter in some really advanced areas. It is the same Mana platform for optimizing the needs of our own IT operations and the IT operations who are clients as well as building great new applications on that. I think that strategy is crucial for the success of automation adoption in our industry.
Ashish Chopra
Lastly from my side, I wanted to understand a little bit on the onsite cost structure as well. While Vishal you have been mentioning that ever since you have come in the focus on hiring locals has been a bit higher, but against that at the same time I think Ranga has been mentioning that onsite costs as a percentage of revenues have been going down and have been eating margins a little bit, so just wanted to get a bit more clarity in terms of reconciling these two as to what exactly is the strategic execution? Is it simply the role ratios that we are kind of taking care of or are there any more elements to it other than that?
Vishal Sikka
It is a complex equation. We have a very strong focus on operating within that frame with the right role ratio and the right onsite-offshore ratio. At the same time, when you introduce more local hiring that we cannot confuse the fact that local hiring equals more expensive and visa equals less expensive, this is not the case. You have to bring the right talent with the right education. Of course, education is a great equalizer and a great differentiator there. So it is a more complex equation than that and you have to do be very contextual, you have to go project after project and Ravi has an exercise where he is constantly looking at in particular in fixed priced projects, the nature of the talent, the nature of the mix and so forth and constantly optimize that.
M.D.Ranganath
Yes, Vishal. Just to add, you are right I think onsite employee cost as a percentage of revenue has been in very sharp focus for us. Remember several years ago, little over three years ago, it used to be in the range of 42% of revenue, this quarter again around 38% and there is a decline sequentially and year-on-year. I think if you look at the onsite employee cost, there are two elements. One as you rightly said, the composition is one. Role ratio composition per se is in effect not a bad thing as long as that also reflects billing rate to reflect the role ratio richness. One of the things that delivery teams are doing is they are looking at all the fixed priced projects. We have started quite a few quarters ago looking at these fixed priced projects, looking at the role ratio in those projects, especially the low margin one and see how many of those resources through automation and productivity could be shifted out to a fresh new project. That way that will address both the talent supply part as well as enhancing the margins in the current projects. I think that is one. The second one is clearly on the onset mix itself. That is harder one actually. If you look at some of the digital projects or even if you look at the user experience, digital projects, typically they are short-cycle projects and they tend to be onsite heavy, significantly. We need to kind of look at that aspect. If you look at these kind of projects, the demand for onsite talent will be high, so we have to make sure that wherever the fixed priced projects where we have potential to release people without impacting the project outcome, can they be good getting into these kind of projects. I think there is a combination of factors onsite mix as well as role ratio and looking very hard at all this fixed priced projects and see if through productivity increases can people be released onsite. We are doing all that.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Ashwin Mehta from Nomura Securities. Please go ahead.
Ashwin Mehta
Happy New Year to the management and thanks for the opportunity. Can you please comment on the growth outlook in the non-BFSI segments because despite RBS, BFSI seems to be doing okay, the other vertical seemed to be weak.
Vishal Sikka
Perhaps Sandeep you can explain the MRCL & Hi-tech and may be Mohit you can on Rajesh’s behalf mention ECS
Sandeep Dadlani
In Manufacturing, Retail-CPG, if you look at the macro environment actually the consumer spending in Retail has been very healthy over the holiday season. First Data reported that they had about 4.7% growth. You also see that most of that growth has come in the e-commerce channel while Bricks and Mortar retailers have really not grown very well. Department stores have declined dramatically. If you look at the disruption going on in Retail & CPG despite the healthy consumer spending, it is clear to us that the dual agendas of automation and innovation are playing out perhaps more in Retail than anywhere else. If you look at Manufacturing, the Institute of Supply Management declared that there is about 1.7% growth in the Manufacturing activity in the US, but if you look at headlines today increase of Manufacturing jobs are actually leading to increase software jobs rather than core Manufacturing jobs. Now that is a macro environment we are in. If you look at Infosys’ performance in Manufacturing, Retail, CPG, and Logistics – Q1 we had over 5% growth, Q2 was a little less than that and Q3 which is traditionally a negative quarter due to furloughs and ram downs is more or less flat in these verticals. In terms of market share in the first three quarters, you have practically captured the most market share of the incremental share available in this traditionally volatile industries. The one sub-segment that really suffered in this quarter is Hi-tech. Hi-tech did go through some seasonal weakness which is normal, but we are also seeing in Hi-tech both semiconductor companies as well as software companies going through some decline given larger trends affecting them - software companies becoming more SaaS-oriented from on-premise, and therefore, having a lower margin structure, so some of our larger software industry clients had trouble there while chip semiconductor company is getting commoditized if they do not differentiate quickly. Overall volatile verticals but I believe we are well-positioned. These clients in particular took to our new offering - Skava, Mana, Panaya, Edge more than perhaps other clients did. If you look at the CPG vertical because they are getting more and more commoditized and disintermediated, they have launched a direct-to-consumer campaign and one of our big Skava wins this time was a CPG company trying to directly link to consumers. Similarly, Mana had a huge adoption for business problems in Manufacturing and CPG as well. In summary, we think we are well-positioned with our capabilities to continue to capture market share, however, given the disruption in the industry, we will continue to expect some volatility. For Q4, we see the pipeline very healthy both in terms of large deals and new license deals across these verticals.
Rajesh has stepped out. So I will cover Energy & Utilities as well. Energy and Utility has actually saw fantastic growth this quarter. If you notice they have actually grown more than 5%. Telecom went through some specific structural challenges. There was a lot of consolidation, M&A activity in Telecom and given the changing nature of the subscription model and the consumer behavior, the weakness in Telecom played out from a cost structure perspective as well. So Telecom had specific challenges. But Energy and Utilities now given that they have hit the bottom earlier in the year, Utilities in particular is looking to completely change the consumer experience, completely change the sustainability experience across their verticals, so they are investing more in digital platforms. That is summary for those verticals.
Mohit Joshi
Finally, just to round it off, for Life Sciences and Healthcare, Life Sciences has done exceedingly well this quarter. For the whole year, we had a weak Q1 in Life Sciences but after that growth has been quite robust. Healthcare also we have done extremely well for the year and for the quarter with the one exception of a program that we were doing in our Infosys Public Service Subsidiary which has now come to an end. So you are seeing a little bit of hit from that in this quarter, but once you remove that both these verticals are also on a very good growth trajectory.
Ashwin Mehta
I just had one follow up. Given the positive commentary that you have in terms of BFSI, you seem to be positive in terms of Energy, RCL could be may be volatile, but what explains the fact that from a fourth quarter perspective, your guidance implies almost similar kind of growth if you ex-out the RBS impact. Why are we not necessarily seeing an improvement in terms of growth given the commentary that you are giving out?
Vishal Sikka
Well Ashwin, this is what we see at present. I think there are two ways to look at this. One is the industry-oriented way and the other is a service line view. As you know we mentioned earlier in Q1, beyond seasonal and these factors we had challenges in our consulting business which we have been working hard and focused on and that sort of had a dampening effect on the overall business for the course of the year and similarly Finacle, the India Business and BPO were the other focus areas that I had mentioned in the meeting that we had in Pune. I think when you look at it in service line in a global perspective, there are always these pockets that we see of headwinds and things like this and any particular client specific changes and seasonal changes and so forth. Historically, if you look at the Q4, last year we focused particularly on Q4 and made sure that it was a good one. But we have had a long history of soft performance in Q4. When we factor all of that in, this is what we see presently. But obviously we are going to be heavily focused on ensuring that the good atmosphere that we see around, the large deals wins that we had and the momentum on the new services helps us deliver strong Q4.
M.D.Ranganath
Just to add to Vishal’s point, I think as we have been saying, we are very strongly focused and we understand the importance of Q4 because exit rate of Q4 is critical for how we look at FY18. I think that is very clear that Q4 is important and the exit rate is important. I think the guidance when we gave 8-9% last quarter, it had implied certain growth rates in Q3. We have been slightly ahead of that growth rate in Q3. So that called for revision in the lower end of the guidance and also typically, in the last quarter, we tend to kind of shrink to about 0.5%. I think while the focus is clearly there, this is where the band is.
Moderator
Thank you. We take the last question from the line of Sandeep Shah from CIMB. Please go ahead.
Sandeep Shah
Dr. Sikka, just one question in terms of the journey to the digital adoption where are we in terms of the maturity level, whether the deals have gone from initial testing phase where there is a larger adoption and this is leading to an increase in the deal sizes, and secondly, I think are the clients talking about the digital working in silos at the frontend with the backend as a whole?
Vishal Sikka
Thanks Sandeep. This is getting the physical value chain transformed towards digital. It is something that is starting to become more mature as I feel. We have seen over the last several years, the development of hundreds of small companies and some larger ones that have brought software and software-based services through the digital value chain. As you know, I have always characterized digital in two completely distinct categories. One is the enabling of the online experience and the new multi-channel experiences and so forth. The other is the digitization of the physical world with the Internet of Things and the work that we do in Engineering and so forth. In both those dimensions, we have been growing extremely well. Specifically on the services and capabilities that we talked about perhaps Ravi can explain this in more detail.
Ravi Kumar S.
Specific to the digital value chain, the way I see the digital ecosystem at Infosys is everything which innovates and automates a process. Therefore it covers the entire gamut of services starting from BPO where we manage digital assets to digital experience as Vishal spoke about which is the frontend of the digital ecosystem and then there are cloud-enabled digital package applications which is work like what we do in Salesforce.com and Oracle Fusion apps and SAP cloud ecosystem and a whole bunch of other boutique cloud ecosystem company. Then there is an extended digital ecosystem into the Application Development and Maintenance world because every legacy system is going through a level of renewal, digitizing itself and innovating and automating the whole process. Then the entire infrastructure around digitizing a business process which is primarily cloud infrastructure transformation. So each one of these service lines has a constituent of digital if I may. Each one of it has a manifestation of innovating and automating everything we do of the past and that is what we believe is the digital ecosystem which in true sense is technology amplifying human experience. We keep a track of it internally and we see if we are doing enough in terms of clients, spend of clients, and the market opportunity. I believe we are quite ahead in the race and we are doing this with software and services attached to it and software which is internal to Infosys and software which is external. We remain agnostic in that sense and all of it is about growing that ecosystem and digitizing assets of clients.
Sandeep Shah
Just a follow up, is this leading to an increase in the deal sizes?
Ravi Kumar S.
The way this works is no CIO I have met in the last 12 months has actually told me that they are going to spend lot more than before. but what they have actually told me they want to do lot more than before. So they want to do more for less and every client has said that. What we have to do is to squeeze the operations lights on, maintaining applications and divert that money for newer purposes which is digitizing assets, taking workloads to the cloud, extending their enterprise by giving them new channels leveraging digital technologies, optimizing the dollar spent on technology. If you can renew those landscapes, release that capital for newer purposes, it certainly means more spend because it is going to have an impact on the top line, but no CIO per se has come and told me that they are going to spend more. They just would say we want to do more for less. What it also means that every functional area in a large corporation looks at technology strategically, which means the buyer is no longer the CIO, the buyer is actually every functional group head and that is a change all of us acknowledge in the new world of digital.

Vishal Sikka
Thanks, Sandeep. Hello, Everyone. Welcome to our Earnings Call and Happy New Year.
You will all recall that in October, we had mentioned that in addition to the seasonal headwinds in Q3 on account of furloughs and lower working days, we also have additional headwinds on account of RBS ramp downs impacting our Q3 revenue growth. RBS impacted Q3 revenues by about 1%. After taking into account the above, our Q3 revenue performance was broadly in line with our expectations. Q3 revenues declined by 0.3% in constant currency terms and 1.4% in reported US dollar terms. In terms of the first nine months of the fiscal year over the first nine months of the last fiscal year, our revenues have grown by 9.4% in constant currency terms and 8.3% in US dollar terms. We also marked the significant achievement of crossing $10 bn in revenue on an LTM basis during calendar 2016.
I want to thank all the Infoscions past and present, founders, board members and all those who have helped us achieve this significant milestone.
Net employee additions were 5,719 in the first nine months of fiscal ’17 compared to 17,196 in the first nine months of fiscal ’16 which is a significant reduction. We continue our relentless focus on introducing Automation across our projects in the backdrop of pricing pressure in traditional services and we expect this to reflect in our future hiring.
On the margin front, we have made progress by focusing on operational efficiencies. The first nine months’ margins are at 24.7%, which is in the upper half of the 24%-25% margin band that we had given for the year. While some operating metrics are lower in Q3 as compared to Q2, this should be seen in light of the RBS ramp down which impacted these beyond the normal Q3 seasonality. Ranga will provide more color on the operational efficiency parameters and margins.
We continue to sharply focus on strong execution of our strategy in terms of large deal wins, top client growth, new services momentum, automation, operational efficiencies and talent engagement. We had 8 large deal wins in Q3 with a TCV of $664 mn, this comprise of $436 mn of committed value deals and $228 mn of framework deals.
Our talent retention both at senior level and overall organizational level has been healthy. Attrition in Q3 came down to 14.9% compared to 15.7% in Q2. Among high performers, we continue to see attrition at consistently lower levels and I believe this is due to our ongoing investments, our employee equity program, differential rewards for high performers, talent engagement such as Zero Distance, and giving high performers the challenging opportunities to grow into new roles.
We have a strong, committed and stable senior management team. In any large scale transformation we have to bring in new external talent and promote top talent from within as we did today with the announcement of Ravi as the Deputy COO.
Coming to the Business Outlook for Fiscal ’17, based on our year-to-date performance and our current assessment, we have revised our constant currency guidance from 8%-9% to 8.4%-8.8% for fiscal ’17. Over the next three months, we will focus on strengthening our foundation for fiscal ’18 with a strong Q4.
On the new administration taking office in the US next week, we are closely watching the developments as they unfold. In the absence of visibility on the outcome and the timelines involved in any visa reform, it is difficult to assess the impact of such possible developments on our business.
Now to the execution of our “Renew-New” strategy and our Culture of Learning, on revenue per employee, if we exclude RBS, we can see that the revenue per employee is improving despite significant ongoing pricing pressure. I believe this points to the benefits of automation and our efforts in Zero Distance kicking in and our move towards higher value work. In addition, we see the evidence of our strategy execution in our client survey results at their highest level since we started the survey 12-years ago. In particular, at the highest level ever at the CXO level, with the stark improvement over the last 2-years, 22-point increase at the CXO level. In my personal interactions with clients, Artificial Intelligence is now at the forefront of everyone’s thinking along with driving digital transformation becoming more agile and bringing ongoing innovation and clients now give Infosys as increasingly a strategic partner in these fundamental area. In Renew, in Q3 we continue to make progress in key areas.
Zero Distance, our program to drive grass-roots innovation in every project continues to thrive and evolve. More than 95% of the projects are now covered by Zero Distance and we are starting to see this program monetize its returns. Key Zero Distance examples include LexisNexis, Arizona Public Services and ABN AMRO among others. Going forward, our focus will be on collaboration and learning across Zero Distance themes, and on looking for bigger problems to solve, break through opportunities that we have a significant impact for clients.
In our mainframe modernization service, we are seeing continued demand across verticals. We are working with 25 of the top-50 Infosys clients in moving their Mainframe and legacy landscapes to the Cloud. Clients see clear value in moving their Mainframe workloads to the Cloud, saving as much as 35% of the run cost through Infosys Services and through our partnership with AWS and Microsoft. For Example, in the case of DBS Bank, the move to the Cloud improved their database performance by more than 100x compared to what they were using before.
Internally, we are leveraging our own automation solutions to drive greater efficiencies into all of our service lines. In Q3, Ravi estimated that we save 2,650 FTEs worth of effort primarily in Application Maintenance, Package Systems Maintenance, BPO and Infrastructure Management.
Zero Bench, our program to engage employees in value creation while they are between projects, has created more than 31,800 work packets with more than 15,000 work packets already completed through the end of Q3.
In new areas, Q3 was a healthy quarter for us in all the new software capabilities and we saw tremendous client adoption and excitement around Mana, Skava, Panaya and Edge, each of which had their best quarter ever. On Mana, we saw client adoption more than double compared to previous quarters. What is particularly encouraging is that in Q3, Mana was adopted as much for automating IT Services work as it works for solving broader business problems, like reducing concept to shelf time for apparel companies, driving fraud and risk management for banks, etc. Key new Mana clients include Kraft Heinz and AMD.
On Skava, we saw a strong Black Friday on retail eCommerce sites where volumes were up more than 30%. We also saw great interest in conversion from CPG companies for their direct-to-consumer strategies and interest from financial services companies on loyalty management, from telecom companies to broaden their client engagement and in many other areas. Kraft Heinz for example has selected Skava to power all of their eCommerce.
The EdgeVerve business delivered solid results with 18 wins and 21 go-lives from both Finacle and Edge. AssistEdge, our leading platform in the so-called robotic process automation space had its best quarter ever. A key highlight for EdgeVerve this quarter was the launch of a pilot block chain network for the Emirates New Business Development Bank in the UAE and ICICI Bank.
Panaya had its best quarter ever both in terms of bookings and revenue. Overall, the new software line of business grew 33% faster than the company and we expect software to continue to amplify the work of our teams.
In Design Thinking, we continue to work with clients in their key strategic areas. For example, we had a rewarding Design Thinking engagement with Fudan University School of Management in Shanghai to help them reimagine the learning experience and design their new digital campus of the future. We are actively piloting an online marketplace initially leveraging our bench resources for outside work.
In Culture, learning continues to be our main focus. We have now trained more than 125,000 employees in Design Thinking. We are accelerating DevOps and Agile training to upskill in-demand areas with 50% of our project managers and 7,200 overall Infoscions already trained on these techniques, and we continue to focus on the core competency of new trainees that every fresher now required to be trained in a minimum of three programming languages simultaneously. 10,400 people with this requirement in this program have already been trained and brought into delivery.
To nurture future talent and high performers, we continue to invest in our Employee Equity Program, Zero Distance, our new Apprenticeship Program, the Stanford Executive Education Program. Now with 130 of our leaders as a part of this program, and the leadership blue print, all are critical to this and we will continue these efforts.
Looking beyond business, in India, the Infosys Foundation has invested in several impactful programs across a wide spectrum of areas including Rehabilitation, Arts & Culture, Education and Rural Development. Some of the key initiatives of the quarter include the curation of the Infosys Foundation Anupu Festival, Sponsorship of a Kitchen in Hyderabad in partnership with Akshaya Patra Foundation, an endowment to Sahapedia, an NGO for the development of an online interactive web module on arts, culture and history of India. Development of a Sustainable Village in Madhya Pradesh through Shivganga Samudra Gram Vikas Parishad, along with many other investments.
In the US, the Infosys Foundation USA celebrated Computer Science Education Week, announcing multiple grants to enable underrepresented students across nine states to explore Computer Science and Coding. The Foundation also renewed its partnership with Code.org, one of the most active CS Education Advocacy organizations worldwide. The Foundation honored Ten Computer Science Teachers with Awards of Excellence in Partnership with ACM and CSTA, and launched the new cycle of the Infy Maker Awards for this year. As of September 30, 2016, the Foundation has had significant impact on Computer Science Education by enabling more than 134,000 Students in close to 2,500 schools across all 50 States to gain access to Computer Science and Maker Education. This was made possible by supporting more than 2,500 teachers with critical resources such as Computer Science, Teacher Training, New Class Room Technology and Teaching Aids on makers’ basis. Additional 179 Coding Workshops, Hackathons and Coding Clubs were held during or after school were also supported by the Foundation. We have continued to build on all of these in Q3.
We continue to see many promising signs that we are executing along our strategy and indeed our longer-term path to thrive in the times of AI to not become displaced by Automation, but indeed to become a company of innovators where the AIs of our creation solve the great business problems that we find. Our results and the voice of our clients provide the proof points around this and we will continue to build on this.
I will hand it over to Ranga to provide more details on our financials. Thank you.
M.D.Ranganath
Thank you, Vishal. Hello, everyone. Ranga here. Let me start by saying that in Q3, we continue to focus on improving the operational efficiency of business and maintaining healthy cash flow generation. As you know, Q3 is a seasonally soft quarter due to furloughs and lower working days. In addition, as we had stated earlier in October, this time we had additional headwinds on account of RBS ramp down.
In dollar terms, our revenues in Q3 were $2551 mn, this is a growth of 8.6% when compared to Q3 of fiscal ’16, on a sequential basis our revenues were down by 1.4%. On a year-on-year basis when compared to Q3 fiscal ’16, revenues have grown 7.3% in constant currency terms, sequentially, our revenues in dollar terms were down by 0.3% on constant currency terms. Impact on revenues on account of RBS ramp down was over 1% in Q3 in reported terms.
If you look at the first nine months of this fiscal over first nine months of last fiscal, revenues have grown by 8.3% in dollar terms and 9.4% in constant currency terms. Volumes grew by 0.2% during the quarter. On quarter-on-quarter basis, onsite volume increased by 0.6% and offshore volume increased by 0.1%. The ramp-down in RBS impacted volume growth by over 2% during the quarter. Realization for the quarter declined by 2.2% on reported basis and 1.1% on constant currency basis as compared to Q2’17. As you know, there will be quarter-on-quarter fluctuations, hence a more appropriate indicator of realizations would be 9-months of FY17 over 9-months of FY16. On this measure, realization declined by 2.8% in reported terms and 1.8% in constant currency terms.
As Vishal mentioned earlier, this quarter’s operating parameter should be seen in the light of RBS ramp down as they were impacted beyond the normal Q3 seasonality. Our utilization excluding trainees was 81.9%, similarly, utilization including trainees went up to a healthy level of 77.8%. Utilization excluding trainees has been consistently above 80% over the last seven quarters due to better talent planning and talent supply chain. Onsite mix stands at 29.8% during the quarter. If you look on a 9-month basis, utilization excluding trainees improved to 81.6% as compared to 80.7% for the corresponding period last year. Onsite mix increased to 29.8% in 9-months. Sub-con expenses were 5.6% of revenues in Q3 in comparison to 6.3% in Q3 of last year. DSO for the quarter was 69-days compared to 64-days in Q2 of ’17. This was primarily due to unbilled revenues which declined by $82 mn during the quarter.
Our operating margins for the quarter was 25.1%, increase of 20 basis points over Q2 of ’17. During the quarter, rupee depreciated by 1.2% against US dollar which helped operating margins by 30 basis points. However, this was offset by 30 basis points decline due to the cross-currency impact. Our salary cost declined during the quarter by 130 basis points due to savings on account of lower variable pay and lower leave cost. Lower leave cost was primarily on account of higher leave utilization in the quarter, leave lapsing in certain onsite countries and increase in interest rates. This was offset by decrease in realization which impacted the margins by 30 basis points. Increase in CSR contribution which we have to make in India mandatorily which impacted margins by 40 basis points and increase in third-party software and other costs of 40 basis points, leading to an overall expansion of 20 basis points in operating margins.
Our emphasis on healthy operating cash flow generation continued this quarter. We generated operating cash flow of $547 mn in Q3 compared to $474 mn in the last year same quarter. Operating cash flow as a percentage of net profit was 100% this quarter which reflects healthy cash generation. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31st was $5255 mn compared to $5349 mn last quarter. During the quarter, you may recall that we paid interim dividend including tax of $453 mn.
We added 9,120 gross employees during the quarter while the employee count declined at the group level by 66. As Vishal said, our net employee addition in the first nine months of this quarter was 5,719 which is significantly lower than 17,196 in the first nine months of last year. The quarterly annualized attrition on a standalone basis has decreased by 80 basis points to 14.9%. At the group level, annualized attrition declined to 18.4% as against 20% last quarter.
Q3 saw volatility in cross-currency especially due to changes in political landscape in the US, increase in interest rates in the US, and expectations of further upward wage revision. We manage to navigate the volatility effectively. On a period-end basis, USD appreciated by 5.3% against British Pound, 5.6% against Euro and 5.2% against Australian Dollar. Our hedge position as of December 31st was $1215 mn. We expect near-term volatility in cross-currency and rupee and we continue to manage the same through appropriate hedges.
Yield on cash balance was 7.7% in Q3’17 compared to 7.8% previous quarter. We expect yield for Fiscal ‘17 to be approximately 7.5% as compared to 8.6% in financial year ’16 due to continuing reduction in interest rates in India in the backdrop of demonetization initiative that was effective November ’16.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 28.1%, full year effective tax rate projection for fiscal ’17 is expected to be around 29%. Net margin during the quarter was 21.5% as compared to 20.8% in Q2’17. EPS for the quarter was $0.24; EPS grew 4.4% on year-on-year basis and by 1.5% on sequential basis. EPS for nine-months this fiscal grew 5.1% in dollar terms.
We will continue to optimize the operational efficiency levers on an ongoing basis. In October, we had indicated that the margin guidance for Fiscal ‘17 to be in the range of 24%-25%. For the first nine months of fiscal ’17, our actual operating margins were 24.7%, hence we have kept the margin band unchanged at 24-25% for fiscal ’17.
With that, we will open the floor for questions.
Moderator
Thank you very much, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the Question-and-Answer Session. First question is from the line of Joseph Foresi from Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.
Joseph Foresi
My first question is on IT budgets for 2017. Wanted to get your initial impression on what those budgets look like. Any change in the optimism, particularly in Financial Services given the new administration here in the US?
Vishal Sikka
No significant change. The balance of course changes towards the newer areas, Digital, Cloud, some of the AI applications towards operational efficiencies and better customer understanding, customer experience and so forth. With regard to BFSI, maybe Mohit, you can answer.
Mohit Joshi
On the Financial Services side, there is a degree of optimism that we have about the spend in the US over the next 12-months. It has a sub-vertical flavor to it. So on the investment banking and on the asset management side, there is still a degree of caution, but overall we feel that the cost reduction will remain a priority for our clients in the next year. The savings that they get from cost reduction those are going to be driven into transformational programs which will be a positive for us. That is the perspective we have as of now.
Joseph Foresi
I think that the Automation is going to keep pace with pricing and be able to offset the pressure there, so that margins stay stable. Could you update us on your thoughts on that over the short and long-term. Do you feel like Automation is going to keep pace? Also we have seen a couple of FTEs taken out. Is that FTE takeout consistent over the next couple of quarters?
Vishal Sikka
So, if you look at the pace at which we have taken out this FTE effort, it is increasing. It was 2,300 in Q2, and it is now 2,650, so that number is continually increasing. Mana is still in the early days of its adoptions. So, none of these numbers actually reflect any Mana adoption so far. So as you said, the basic idea of automation is to outperform the declining pricing curve. As Ranga mentioned, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, the pricing decline was 1.1% in constant currency and 1.8% over a nine-month period. This number is steadily coming down and this is what I have been talking about for the last 2.5-years. However, it is not enough to simply outperform the downward pace of that spiral. What is even more important is to ensure that the automation continues to impact the deeper and higher level work, such as Application Maintenance or even Application Development and brings more productivity improvement. One of the things that is extremely important as we bring automation to life with our Mana platform is that it is not for the automation software to apply just to our own IT Services, but it is important for that platform also to be the enabler of new kinds of applications that were unprecedented. A lot of companies in our industry are bringing automation simply for their own services. I believe that by doing that, one would not be able to build world-class automation software that can bring the best of what is known outside in other domains. Therefore it is essential for us to apply the automation software to building standalone next-generation breakthrough application.
M.D.Ranganath
Just to add, coming to the positive impact of automation on our P&L, as Vishal said, to the extent that the internal productivity and automation offsets the pricing decline that would beginning to show. It is one of the leading indicators that we have started to watch closely, but, we do not want to call it as a trend line or anything. What we have started monitoring very closely is the rate of headcount addition into the company as compared to the rate of revenue growth. If you look at the first nine months of this year, the net headcount addition across the group, including BPO, has been 5,700 people, for the same period last fiscal nine months, it was 17,000. So there has been reduction in net headcount. So we are internally monitoring how much of this is really on account of the release of people from the projects on account of higher productivity and automation. The important thing to note is that the automation impact on the P&L would be much more significant if that happens across the pyramid, both onsite and in India. That is something which we want to closely monitor, so both headcount release as well as the quality of headcount release, are important.
Joseph Foresi
Can get your early thoughts on the new administration? One of your competitors had talked about already taking a close look at the way that they deliver their services based on some potentially protections policies here in the US. So if you could just talk about this, is that something you are reviewing? I know it is early to tell, but any early thoughts on how you address it?
Vishal Sikka
So there are two parts of that. One is, on a longer term horizon, I see that the administration is going to be a business-friendly and innovation-friendly kind of an administration. The president elect himself is entrepreneurial businessman with a very successful career based on entrepreneurship. So, as long as we are able to be relevant to our clients in that kind of a business-friendly, innovation-friendly atmosphere, we are going to be okay. The second part, the near term part, is regarding the potential impact due to visa policy changes. Depending on the nature of the policy that is adopted, there could be impact to the work that we do. While we do not know what kind of policies will be going into effect, we are preparing to address different scenarios based on what might happen. Ultimately it all comes down to basically two things, more local hiring, which is something that I have been emphasizing and started two and a half years ago. I am myself a high level US local hire. So the more that we can bring local talent to work closely with clients, bring the contextual sense of innovation to their work and bolster that with deep global expertise coming in from the outside, the better. We are deeply committed to the US economy growth and so forth. We have also seen that in other geographies like Australia, etc. Singapore already enacted the 50-50 law that we have been complying with. So depending on the nature of the policy that is adopted, we will take the necessary measures and that might have some impact in the near-term which we will see depending on the nature of the policy. Ultimately, the solution here is better local hiring, more strength in the local economies, local markets and a strong long-term focus on innovation and software-led delivery of value.
Moderator
Thank you. We have next question from the line of Moshe Katri from Wedbush. Please go ahead.
Moshe Katri
Vishal and Ranga, during last quarter a large portion of your TCV came from renewal. Can you quantify the renewal mix this quarter? Could that be one of the reasons why we have seen some of the pricing pressure that Vishal has been talking about?
Vishal Sikka
Moshe, the total number was $664mn, and out of that $436mn was committed value deals and $228mn was framework deals.
Moshe Katri
Could the renewals be one of those factors that is impacting pricing compression that we are seeing?
Pravin Rao
Moshe, this is Pravin here. We normally do not give that split, because when there is a renewal there is a net new as well. So, it is difficult to figure out how much is pure renewal and how much is new. This time as compared with last quarter, we had much more new than renew.
Moshe Katri
Can you give us some color on pricing, could that be one of the reasons impacting pricing for the business?
Vishal Sikka
I do not think so, Moshe. This is independent of that. The pricing decline is something that we see across the industry. We checked it out. In early days a lot of people used to doubt that. I used to think that this was something only we saw. But now we have seen that it is a consistent industry-wide trend and it applies to renewal of existing deals, ongoing projects and so forth. Both, the new software-led services and the new services in general continued to be highly valued and highly profitable. Some of the things that I talk about, for example around migrating mainframe systems to the cloud, new digital services, AI-based applications, the Mana, Skava, Edge and Panaya-based services these are all services that have significant margin potential.
Moshe Katri
Can you quantify the digital mix for the quarter and what sort of growth rates are we looking at?
Ravi Kumar S
It is hard to benchmark or baseline with a market on the digital ecosystem because everybody measures it differently. I have digital services and the digital experience unit which is 100%, the Skava services and the Skava ecosystem is 100% digital, then there is a part of cloud package applications, which is in the digital world because it is a part of the digital ecosystem. There is also integration services to the backend digital which is digital. In effect every service line has something related to digital. Internally we look at metrics to see whether we are moving up and are we growing in line with the market spend. I believe that we are seriously competitive in that space as well as winning a lot of the new spend. Our entire proposition of amplifying human experience by digitizing corporations primarily through innovation and automation has resonated very well with clients. So I really do not want to put a number on-board, because it would confuse you. The base lines for each company are very different on how you measure digital. I believe that it is growing significantly faster than the company and it is in line. We are a market leader in the space of leveraging digital spend in the market.
Moshe Katri
Ranga, your utilization rate was fairly high 81.9%. Are these sustainable levels for the near-term, continuing to kind of push utilization rate above 80%?
M.D.Ranganath
From last four-five quarters, we have been saying that due to better supply chain management and current planning, we aim to be moving that upwards. You should expect that till about 6-7 quarters ago, it used to be consistently below 80%, just between 77% and 80%. We had reorganization little over five quarters ago where we consolidated all the service lines in delivery under one umbrella. Through this, the movement of people from one set of each line to another became much easier without artificial boundaries. We also strengthened the planning and the supply chain. So, steadily it started inching upwards. If you look at in each of the seven quarters, it has been consistently above 80%, currently, this quarter 81.9%. Couple of quarters ago, we had close to 82.7% to 83%. We do believe that around that level between 83%-84%, in the near to medium term is something that we want to plan. The second one on the utilization is also a denominator effect which essentially is also equally important. We want to kind of optimize certainly above 80% and there is some legroom that we want to do it in the medium-term.
Moderator
Thank you. We take next question from the line of Rod Bourgeois from Deep Dive Equity Research. Please go ahead.
Rod Bourgeois
I want to ask about Infosys longer-term strategy here. Given the increasing role of software-led business in your strategy, what is your general view on how much of Infosys revenues should stem from software assets as you look forward perhaps to the 2020 timeframe that you guys have talked about?
Vishal Sikka
There are two dimensions to that, Rod. There is the impact of software in amplifying the existing services where the software itself may not be monetized and may become a part of the overall fixed price offering or the overall solution that we put together for the clients. And, the other one is the standalone software business itself where the software is monetized as a service and that could either be licensed an AMC and so forth. When we talk about 2020, $20 bn number, our idea was that 10% of the revenue would come from new services including software. Currently it is approximately 5% of our revenue and we mentioned this in the fact sheet. The products and the platform revenues are around 5%. The game plan is over the next few years to double this. As I mentioned earlier, Mana, Skava, Edge, and Panaya, all of them had the best quarter ever individually. Mana adoption has been doubling. We are selling Mana exclusively as a service, and Skava is available both as a service and as an upfront license. The Edge products, and Panaya is also exclusively sold as a service. So one of the things that we are going to work on over the course of this quarter is how to better this and then provide even more color at a final granularity on how the software business is evolving. We are also thinking about how to expand the go-to-market for this beyond the relatively small number of clients that you think are from a software point of view that a services company has. Our total number of clients currently are about 1,000, and typically on a software business you have a much larger client base. So these are things that we are thinking about.
Rod Bourgeois
Have you updated your 2020 financial targets or are they the same as they were when we were speaking about those a year or so ago?
Vishal Sikka
The 2020 target is an aspiration. We do not have a business plan or a financial plan to get there. We make the plan on a yearly basis at a company level. Individual businesses do have multiyear plans and so forth. But the 2020 is an aspiration that we have kept for ourselves to help shape our thinking. Whether it is the renewal of our existing services and business or the kind of new mixes and new horizons to add into that and bringing in inorganic revenue and investments and so forth through acquisitions and investments. Hence, there is not a tangible plan for 2020, but the business plans exist for the individual service lines and at a company level we do it for the year.
Rod Bourgeois
When you think about that aspirational plan for 2020, what has changed in your mind in the last year based on what you have seen in the market and based on the experience you have had with rolling out automation? What has changed in your mind relative to those aspirational targets? Are you more confident in the margin target, are you less confident, are you thinking differently about the mix of revenues that you are going to pursue for 2020? What is the big change based on the experience you have had in the market on how you are thinking today about that aspiration versus where you were a year ago?
Vishal Sikka
That is a great question. The transformation is never easy and some of the things that we have seen, for example, bringing Mana or automation platforms to life for the existing IT Services business is an easier sell, easier for our teams to relate to that and bring that to market. But brand new solutions on the platform require a different kind of DNA and a different kind of a mindset. So we need a combination of both. On the pricing front, I have been talking about the downward pricing pressure, and that has continued to intensify. So there is no doubt that this is a secular trend that is heading in a very more fundamental way impacting the industry. You can see that in the moves being made by others in the industry. There is no doubt that software amplified services strategy is the right one here. The other part of it is that, it has to be not only a software-led or a software amplified services strategy for our existing services, it also has to be that the software brings value for additional use cases. This means that the software business would need to expand beyond the top 500 clients that we have. We have to think about additional go-to-market channels and so forth in bringing that to life. As we have gone through this journey, those have been some of the learnings that we have found. This is still quite early. In the near term, we are busy for the next 12 to18 months. We are busy bringing these software amplified services to our existing businesses, to our existing services and to our existing clients. As we expand beyond that, these new strategies would start to play an important role.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of James Friedman from Susquehanna. Please go ahead.
James Friedman
My first question is for Ranga. I was wondering where we are with the RBS journey? I apologize I cannot remember. But are we closer to the end than the middle of that?
M.D.Ranganath
If you recollect in August of 2016, when we announced the ramp down 3000 people, we had said that most of the impact will not be in Q2, but in Q3 and Q4. On a sequential basis we see by and large negligible impact in Q4. So, that is where the RBS impact. So if you look at Q3, it was a little over 1.1%.
James Friedman
Just so I heard you are right, it sounds like we are done with RBS transfer?
M.D.Ranganath
Very negligible in Q4.
Mohit Joshi
This is Mohit. I can confirm the largest part of that impact has gone for the system, and this is just a very small residual piece left in terms of the impact.
James Friedman
Vishal, I know it is early days, but could you help us to think about what some of the factors might be that would encourage fiscal 2018 to grow either slower or faster than fiscal ‘17?
Vishal Sikka
We have to deliver a strong Q4 to help establish a great base for the beginning of the year. My entire team is here, and I want just to be absolutely clear. If you look at the overall atmosphere around us, independent of the seasonal or the event-oriented things, whether it is Brexit or the US presidential elections and so forth, the bigger change that is happening in the world around us is the technology-driven change. It is a change where every industry and every business is going through a very fundamental transformation towards software, towards AI and towards technology. My view is a deeper embrace of our strategy at an even more accelerated base is going to be necessary in FY’18. What my experience this year has been that every business is looking for advice and for strategic partners to help them think about their journey. In many ways, the traditional models of consulting and strategy and so forth, do not really deliver the results. If you think about the Fortune 500 over the last 10-years, ever since the iPhone was launched, something like 34%, 35% of the Fortune 500 companies are not in the Fortune 500 anymore, some of them have actually gone out of business. It seems to me to be a profound failure of the source, the strategy, the consulting, the innovation and enterprise. As companies think about this exponential and deeply accelerated transformation that is happening in the world around us and around technology, they are looking for new kind of a partner to help them achieve both their cost savings that can outpace the disruption that comes as well as in particular going in the new areas and new ways. So the more that we bring these capabilities both in our existing services and in our new services to our clients, the better that we become at articulating and monetizing these opportunities, the better off we will be. Fiscal ‘18 is going to be a pivotal year in this transformation journey and I am really excited. Our Customer Satisfaction Survey that I saw when I started came in a month after I joined Infosys. It was really depressing to see that one back then. A lot of the thinking that we put into place, the Zero Distance, the embrace of Automation, in particular the massive roll-out of Design Thinking and creating a culture of grassroots innovation and everything that we do, that was all motivated by the voice of the customer that I heard at that time. In two years we have seen a dramatic change in that. We have been doing this survey for something like 12-years, and in those 12-years, this is the highest rating that we have ever had from a client and our CXO scores in particular have jumped dramatically in these last two years. So it tells us that even that is early days and we are still impacted by currency, by the RBS type ramp downs, and furloughs and all of these things that apply to everybody and the downward pricing pressure. It tell us that in a very fundamental and deep-routed way, the change that we have been putting into place is working.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Edward Caso from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.
Edward Caso
I am curious to hear your thoughts on the Indian startup market from the sense of is it taking away some of your better talent? Are you looking at it as a source of ideas where you may try to acquire some of these new concepts and roll them into the Infosys portfolio?
Vishal Sikka
That is a great question. The Indian startup scene is an extremely exciting one that has ton of energy and interest. But if you look at the broader context, the unemployment rate among Indian engineering graduates is sky high, the largest employers of Indian IT graduates are actually companies like Uber, and Domino’s and so forth. This is a very tragic situation. If you look at the first nine months of this financial year, we lowered the amount of hiring from 17,500 or so people in the previous year for the first nine months to about 5,700 people this year in the first nine months, which means that our ability to hire better talent is in fact improving and not getting worse because of the startup scene. We deeply encourage the startup scene and we want them to succeed. We want to be the company that can bring the startups products and services to live in the global market. We just invested in a drone company that make autonomous drones for delivery and so forth. We have also invested in a startup incubator here and so forth. In many ways as I look back on the evolution of the IT services industry over the last 15-20 years, it has been a great driver of job growth in India. A lot of that has happened because of jobs that are increasingly mechanizable and that are increasingly susceptible to automation. These are the kinds of jobs that have moved here. Today the IT services industry employ something like 3.6 million people, 3.7 million people, but a large number of these are working in jobs that are more prone to automation. So, these jobs are going to go away overtime. Therefore the long-term future of the Indian employment scene and the Indian high-tech scene has to be in a combination of automation and innovation. It has to be entrepreneurships. So I think the more that we encourage entrepreneurship within our companies as well as within the startups, the better.
Edward Caso
Can you talk about your hiring plans in the US? Obviously, you must be thinking about positioning for however the US visa situation, may or may not change. What efforts have you done? Any kind of numbers you can put to that as far as percent of workforce that is local?
Vishal Sikka
This is an area that we feel is extremely important. Over the last two and half years we have been focusing heavily on this. Now, in light of the new policies, this is something that is going to be ever more important. Ravi has been studying this extensively and perhaps Ravi, you can add a little bit of color to this.
Ravi Kumar S
While the legislation and the law, and the bills are passed and it is probably going to take time. Irrespective of that, we have been very focused on local hiring for the last few quarters. We started hiring freshers from US campuses in the past couple of years. So, that will continue. Our focus is to hire local and supplement skills which are not available with the visa program. We are going to step it up with more enablement and training locally so that we could start hiring adjacent capabilities, wherever we think those specialized skills are not available. We are looking for setting up specific hubs which we have experimented with in the last couple of years. We are going to continue to do that in terms of availability of talent pools and clusters of customers where they are available. It is a very comprehensive plan of looking at local hiring from campuses to one to four year experienced folks and adjacent capabilities of specialized skill training and lateral hiring. So, we will continue to keep that focus and continue to invest. This was being done irrespective of how the legislation takes course.
Edward Caso
Hopefully, my last quick question here is the top-10 year-over-year performance was down meaningfully. Is that all RBS or is there anything else among the top-10 clients that are waiting on those statistics for your top clients?
Vishal Sikka
Ed, RBS of course is a huge part of that and then there is a seasonality. Some of those companies are hi-tech, manufacturing companies, and retail companies that had a significant impact in Q3. So, we have a very deep relationship with our top-25 clients. As you know year and a half or two years ago, that was something that used to suffer. We spend a lot of time and energy in rebuilding those relationships and strengthening those. So, I am not particularly concerned about the statistics.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Keith Bachman from BMO. Please go ahead.
Keith Bachman
First one is on pricing. You indicated pricing was a little bit worse this quarter. Where was the variance generated from? Would you insist to pay it if you look over the course of calendar year '17? Would you expect pricing to be worse than the little over 1% that occurred this quarter?
M.D.Ranganath
If you look at quarter-to-quarter pricing, our realization decline may not be the very accurate indicator. In a particular quarter certain project ramp ups happen and that can alter or rather amplify or understate as the case maybe the pricing. The more stable and more predictable indicator would be or reliable would be on the much longer period of time. Nine month over nine month which is on year-on-year basis and constant currency about 1.5% to 1.8%. I think if you look at previous year also in FY ‘16 over FY ‘15, we had between 1.1% and 1.5%. So, at this point in time based on what we see on a more multiple quarter basis, we expect that to be in the current levels really around 1% to 1.5%.
Keith Bachman
My follow-up question relates to something that was commented on previously. If we look at the growth rate this quarter on a constant currency basis little over 7%, you are guiding the March quarter to be a little over 6% on a year-over-year basis constant currency. As you think about that growth rate and as you look out over the next 12-months compared to the pyramid hiring structure, is there implication that this is the sustained growth rate on your ability to maintain your cost structure and ability to maintain your margins? Can you please elaborate a little bit on that?
M.D.Ranganath
That is a good question. Let me just give a comparison between last year and this year itself. Last year, our constant currency growth was 15.2% and our operating margin was 25%, and the first nine months of last year the operating margin was 24.8%. So, the first nine months operating margin is same, 24.7%, and despite the constant currency growth being at least 300 to 400 basis points lower. So what impact has happened is we have leveraged the operational efficiency pieces, the utilization and so on and so forth. So that has happened this particular year. Essentially even though the constant currency growth for the first nine months was 300 to 400 basis points lower than the corresponding period last year, we maintained the operating margins. Coming to the growth rate for the next year, I think Q4 exit rate is typically very important because of the compounding effect that typically sets a very good pace for the following year. So last year as well, we focused on strong execution in Q4, and we grew 1.6%, unlike the previous several years where used to be negative. For example, fiscal ‘15, Q4 was negative 2.6%, prior to that negative 1% and prior to that another negative. Last year Q4 was the first time in more than three years where by focusing on strong execution and being the importance for Q4 exit rate for the following year we had focused. So I think our endeavor is to focus on execution in Q4 and see what we delivered in Q4 and that gives us much more credible basis for forecasting FY18.

This reconciliation statement has been provided in accordance with circular CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 issued by SEBI dated July 05, 2016 on account of implementation of Ind-AS by listed companies.
Explanations for reconciliation of Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as previously reported under IGAAP to Ind-AS
1.1 | a. | As per Ind-AS 19 Employee benefits, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit and loss in a subsequent period. |
b. | Adjustments reflect unamortized negative past service cost arising on modification of the gratuity plan in an earlier period. Ind-AS 19 requires such gains and losses to be adjusted to retained earnings. | |
1.2 | Adjustments reflect the impact of discounting pertaining to deferred and contingent consideration payable for business combinations. | |
1.3 | Adjustment reflects the impact of amortization of intangible assets included within goodwill under the IGAAP, separately recognized under Ind-AS. | |
1.4 | Tax component on actuarial gains and losses which was transferred to other comprehensive income under Ind-AS. | |
1.5 | The reduction in deferred tax expense is on account of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities recorded on intangible assets acquired in business combination. | |
1.6 |
Under Ind-AS, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations are recorded in other comprehensive income. |

Notes on segment information
Business segments
Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind-AS 108 - Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.
Segmental capital employed
Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

This reconciliation statement has been provided in accordance with circular CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 issued by SEBI dated July 05, 2016 on account of implementation of Ind-AS by listed companies.
Explanations for the reconciliation of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as previously reported under IGAAP to Ind-AS
1.1 | a. | As per Ind-AS 19 - Employee benefits, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit and loss in a subsequent period. |
b. | Adjustments reflect unamortized negative past service cost arising on modification of the gratuity plan in an earlier period. Ind-AS 19 requires such gains and losses to be adjusted to retained earnings. | |
1.2 | Adjustments reflect the impact of discounting pertaining to deferred and contingent consideration payable for business combinations. | |
1.3 | Adjustment reflects the impact of amortization of intangible assets included within goodwill under the IGAAP, separately recognized under Ind-AS. | |
1.4 | Tax component on actuarial gains and losses which was transferred to other comprehensive income under Ind AS. | |
1.5 | The reduction in deferred tax expense is on account of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities recorded on intangible assets acquired in business combination. | |
1.6 | Under Ind-AS, exchange differences on the translation of foreign operations are recorded in other comprehensive income. |

Notes on segment information:
Business segments
Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind-AS 108 - Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Marker evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments
Segment Assets / Liabilities
Assets and liabilities used in the company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1. Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 | Company overview |
Infosys is a leading provider in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services. Along with its subsidiaries, Infosys provides Business IT services (comprising application development and maintenance, independent validation, infrastructure management, engineering services comprising product engineering and life cycle solutions and business process management); Consulting and systems integration services (comprising consulting, enterprise solutions, systems integration and advanced technologies); Products, business platforms and solutions to accelerate intellectual property-led innovation including Finacle, its banking solution; and offerings in the areas of Analytics, Cloud, and Digital Transformation.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".
The Company is a public limited Company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext London and Euronext Paris.
The Group's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are authorized for issue by the company's Board of Directors on January 13, 2017.
1.2 | Basis of preparation of financial statements |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS) and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2016. Accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in these financial statements added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in these financial statements.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded.
Associates are entities over which the group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
1.4 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates
a. Revenue recognition
The group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the group to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
b. Income taxes
The company's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the U.S., though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions (also refer to note 2.11).
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Significant estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration and intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts.
d. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
e. Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes
Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.
1.6 Revenue recognition
The company derives revenues primarily from software development and related services and from the licensing of software products. Arrangements with customers for software related services are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.
Revenue on time-and-material contracts are recognized as the related services are performed and revenue from the end of the last billing to the balance sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenues. Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Costs and earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of costs and earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Deferred contract costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, the company has applied the guidance in IAS 18, Revenue, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each separately identifiable component of a single transaction. The arrangements generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as separately identifiable components. For allocating the consideration, the company has measured the revenue in respect of each separable component of a transaction at its fair value, in accordance with principles given in IAS 18. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its fair value. In cases where the company is unable to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the software development and related services, the company has used a residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In these cases the balance of the consideration, after allocating the fair values of undelivered components of a transaction has been allocated to the delivered components for which specific fair values do not exist.
License fee revenues are recognized when the general revenue recognition criteria given in IAS 18 are met. Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). The company has applied the principles given in IAS 18 to account for revenues from these multiple element arrangements. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value has been established for ATS. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. When other services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and objective and reliable evidence of their fair values have been established, the revenue from such contracts are allocated to each component of the contract in a manner, whereby revenue is deferred for the undelivered services and the residual amounts are recognized as revenue for delivered elements. In the absence of objective and reliable evidence of fair value for implementation, the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the services are performed. ATS revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Advances received for services and products are reported as client deposits until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
The company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives amount to each of the underlying revenue transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive. Also, when the level of discount varies with increases in levels of revenue transactions, the company recognizes the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognized until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The company recognizes changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts are passed on to the customer either as direct payments or as a reduction of payments due from the customer.
The company presents revenues net of value-added taxes in its statement of comprehensive income.
1.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Building | 22-25 years |
Plant and machinery | 5 years |
Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Vehicles | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
1.8 Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders’ fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
1.9 Financial instruments
Effective April 1, 2016, the group has elected to early adopt IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments considering April 1, 2015 as the date of initial application of the standard even though the stipulated effective date for adoption is April 1, 2018.
As per IFRS 9, the group has classified its financial assets into the following categories based on the business model for managing those assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics:
- Financial assets carried at amortised cost
- Financial assets fair valued through other comprehensive income
- Financial assets fair valued through profit and loss
The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any other material impact on the consolidated financial statements, hence prior period figures have not been restated. The impact on account of adoption of IFRS 9 is given in Note 2.2.
1.9.1 Initial recognition
The group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
1.9.2 Subsequent measurement
a. | Non-derivative financial instruments |
(i) | Financial assets carried at amortised cost |
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) | Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income |
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where the Group has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(iii) | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss |
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of comprehensive income.
c. Share capital and treasury shares
(i) Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(ii) Treasury Shares
When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium.
1.9.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.10 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
1.11 Impairment
a. Financial assets
The group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss
b. Non-financial assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
(ii) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
1.12 Employee benefits
1.12.1 Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the group
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPO's Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by law of India.
The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/asset are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in the subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of comprehensive income.
1.12.2 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
1.12.3 Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.
In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
1.12.4 Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
1.13 Share - based compensation
The Group recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share premium.
1.14 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
1.15 Recent accounting pronouncements
1.15.1 Standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers: In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 15 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, though early adoption is permitted. In September 2015, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 15, deferring the adoption of the standard to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 instead of January 1, 2017.
The Group is evaluating the effect of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements including the transition method to be adopted and the related disclosures. The group continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on ongoing financial reporting.
IFRS 16 Leases : On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17.
The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, though early adoption is permitted for companies applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group is yet to evaluate the requirements of IFRS 16 and the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 22, Foreign currency transactions and Advance consideration: On December 8, 2016, the IFRS interpretations committee of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS interpretation, IFRIC 22, Foreign currency transactions and Advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effective date for adoption of IFRIC 22 is annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, though early adoption is permitted. The Group is yet to evaluate the requirements of IFRIC 22 and the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Liquid Mutual fund:
The cost and fair value of liquid mutual funds as of December 31, 2016 was $641 million and $642 million, respectively and as of March 31, 2016 was $10 million. The fair value is based on quoted prices.
Quoted debt securities carried at amortised cost:
Investment in quoted debt securities represents the investments made in debt securities issued by government and quasi government organisations. The fair value of quoted debt securities (including interest accrued) as on December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 was $272 million and $257 million, respectively. The fair value is based on the quoted prices and market observable inputs.
Quoted debt securities fair valued through other comprehensive income:
Investments in quoted debt securities represents investments made in non-convertible debentures issued by government aided institutions. The fair value of non-convertible debentures (including interest accrued) as of December 31, 2016 is $533 million. The fair value is based on the quoted prices and market observable inputs.
Impact on account of adoption of IFRS 9
Certain investments which were earlier carried at fair value through other comprehensive income under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement are now carried at amortised cost under IFRS 9, where the business model is to hold the asset, in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount. The impact of such change in measurement did not have a material impact on the financial statements. Hence, the company has not restated the prior period figures and the cumulative impact has been recorded in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Accordingly, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the company has recorded, in its other comprehensive income, a reversal of unrealised gain, net of taxes, of $5 million (recorded on quoted debt securities as on April, 1, 2016), with a corresponding change in investment and deferred taxes.
Further, under IFRS 9, the impairment of financial assets is measured under the 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, which uses a dual measurement approach, under which the loss allowance is measured as either twelve month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. The change in the impairment model did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks - market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s operations are adversely affected as the Indian rupee appreciates / depreciates against these currencies.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar has affected the company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50% and 0.49%, respectively.
For each of the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50% .
Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion into functional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group's holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

The Group recognized a net gain of $12 million on derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and a net gain of $10 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, which is included under other income.
The Group recognized a net gain of $45 million on derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and a net loss of $5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, which is included under other income.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the group has designated certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserve are expected to occur and reclassified to the statement of profit or loss within 3 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table provides the reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to $1,905 million and $1,710 million as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively and unbilled revenue amounting to $502 million and $457 million as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The group uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default swap quotes, credit ratings from international credit rating agencies and the Group's historical experience for customers.

Credit risk exposure
The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $5 million. The reversal of allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $5 million. The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $11 million. The reversal of allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $3 million.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi government organizations and non convertible debentures.
Liquidity risk
The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As of December 31, 2016, the Group had a working capital of $5,544 million including cash and cash equivalents of $3,844 million and current investments of $643 million. As of March 31, 2016, the Group had a working capital of $5,804 million including cash and cash equivalents of $4,935 million and current investments of $11 million.
As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the outstanding employee benefit obligations were $210 million and $202 million, respectively, which have been substantially funded. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

(Dollars in millions)
As of | ||
December 31, 2016 | March 31, 2016 | |
Carrying value at the beginning | 568 | 495 |
Goodwill on Kallidus d.b.a Skava acquisition (Refer note 2.9) | – | 71 |
Goodwill on Noah acquisition (Refer note 2.9) | – | 5 |
Translation differences | (14) | (3) |
Carrying value at the end | 554 | 568 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. The chief operating decision maker reviews the goodwill for any impairment at the operating segment level, which is represented through groups of CGU’s.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company reorganized some of its segments to enhance executive customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight. Consequent to these internal reorganizations there were changes effected in the segments based on the “management approach” as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. (Refer Note 2.14). Accordingly the goodwill has been allocated to the new operating segments as at March 31, 2016.
(Dollars in millions)
Segment | As of |
March 31, 2016 | |
Financial services | 128 |
Manufacturing | 64 |
Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics | 87 |
Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance | 99 |
Energy & utilities, Communication and Services | 119 |
497 | |
Operating segments without significant goodwill | 71 |
Total | 568 |
The entire goodwill relating to Infosys BPO’s acquisition of McCamish has been allocated to the group of CGU’s which is represented by the Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance segment.
The goodwill relating to Infosys Lodestone, Portland, Panaya and Kallidus d.b.a Skava acquisitions has been allocated to the groups of CGU’s which are represented by the entity’s operating segment.
The entire goodwill relating to Noah acquisition has been allocated to the group of CGU's which is represented by the Energy & utilities, Communication and Services segment.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization. The value-in-use is determined based on specific calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections over a period of five years. As of March 31, 2016, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount. The recoverable amount was computed based on the fair value being higher than value-in-use and the carrying amount of the CGU was computed by allocating the net assets to operating segments for the purpose of impairment testing. The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows:
In %
As of March 31, 2016 | |
Long term growth rate | 8-10 |
Operating margins | 17-20 |
Discount rate | 14.2 |
The above discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.
2.9 Business combination
Noah Consulting LLC
On November 16, 2015, Infosys has acquired 100% membership interest in Noah Consulting, LLC (Noah), a leading provider of advanced information management consulting services for the oil and gas industry. The business acquisition was conducted by entering into a share purchase agreement for cash consideration of $33 million, contingent consideration of upto $5 million and an additional consideration of upto $32 million, referred to as retention bonus payable to the employees of Noah at each anniversary year following the acquisition date for the next three years, subject to their continuous employment with the group at each anniversary.
This acquisition combines Noah’s industry knowledge, information strategy planning, data governance and architecture capabilities with Infosys’ ability to provide technology and outsourcing services on a global scale to oil and gas clients. The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill.
The purchase price has been allocated based on management’s estimates and independent appraisal of fair values as follows:
(Dollars in millions)
Component | Acquiree's carrying amount | Fair value adjustments |
Purchase price allocated |
Net assets(*) | 6 | – | 6 |
Intangible assets – technical knowhow | – | 4 | 4 |
Intangible assets – trade name | – | 4 | 4 |
Intangible assets - customer contracts and relationships | – | 18 | 18 |
6 | 26 | 32 | |

Goodwill of $1 million is tax deductible.
The gross amount of trade receivables acquired and its fair value is $4 million and the amounts have been largely collected.

(Dollars in millions)
Component | Consideration |
Cash paid | 33 |
Fair value of contingent consideration | 4 |
Total purchase price | 37 |
The fair value of contingent consideration is determined by discounting the estimated amount payable to the sellers of Noah on achievement of certain financial targets. At acquisition date, the key inputs used in determination of the fair value of contingent consideration are the discount rate of 32% and the probabilities of achievement of the financial targets. During year ending March 31, 2016, based on an assessment of Noah achieving the targets for the year ending December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, the entire contingent consideration has been reversed in the statement of comprehensive income
The retention bonus is treated as a post-acquisition employee remuneration expense as per IFRS 3. For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016, a post-acquisition employee remuneration expense of $3 million and $12 million has been recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
The transaction costs of $2 million related to the acquisition have been included under administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2016.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Group has claimed weighted tax deduction on eligible research and development expenditure based on the approval received from Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) which is valid upto 31st March 2017. The weighted tax deduction is equal to 200% of such expenditure incurred.
During nine months ended December 31, 2015 Infosys had claimed weighted tax deduction on eligible research and development till 31st July 2015 based on the approval received from Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) on November 23, 2011 which was renewed effective April 2014. With effect from 1st August 2015 the business of Finacle, including the R&D activities, was transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary Edgeverve Systems Limited. However the approval for Edgeverve was effective April 2016.
The foreign expense is due to income taxes payable overseas principally in the United States. In India, the company has benefited from certain tax incentives that the Government of India had provided for export of software from the units registered under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (SEZ). SEZ units which began the provision of services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision of services and 50 percent of such profits or gains for further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone re-Investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units and utilization of such reserve by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

upon completion of their tax assessment for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009, fiscal 2010 , fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2013. The
Company has filed an appeal with the income tax appellate authorities.
Demand for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 includes disallowance of a portion of the deduction claimed by the company under Section 10A of the Income Tax Act as determined by the ratio of export turnover to total turnover. The disallowance arose from certain expenses incurred in foreign currency being reduced from export turnover but not reduced from total turnover. Demand for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009, fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 also includes disallowance of portion of profit earned outside India from the STP units under section 10A of the Income Tax Act and disallowance of profits earned from SEZ units under section 10AA of the Income Tax Act.

2.14 Segment Reporting
IFRS 8 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Group reorganized some of its segments to enhance executive customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight consequent to which, erstwhile manufacturing segment is now being reviewed as Hi-Tech, Manufacturing and others included in ECS. Additionally, Infosys Public services (IPS) is being reviewed separately by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Consequent to the internal reorganizations, there were changes effected in the reportable business segments based on the "management approach" as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The CODM evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments. Accordingly, information has been presented both along business segments and geographic segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the significant accounting policies.
Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services (FS), enterprises in Manufacturing (MFG), enterprises in Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics (RCL), enterprises in the Energy & utilities, Communication and Services (ECS), enterprises in Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech), enterprises in Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance (HILIFE) and all other segments. The FS reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and the Finacle operating segment. All other segments represents the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan and China and IPS. Geographic segmentation is based on business sourced from that geographic region and delivered from both on-site and off-shore locations. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west), Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World comprising all other places except those mentioned above and India. Consequent to the above changes in the composition of reportable business segments, the prior period comparatives have been restated.
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for “all other segments” represents revenue generated by IPS and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Company's offshore software development centres and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.
Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
Geographical information on revenue and business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1. Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Company overview
Infosys is a leading provider in consulting,
technology, outsourcing and next-generation services. Along with its subsidiaries, Infosys provides Business IT services (comprising
application development and maintenance, independent validation, infrastructure management, engineering services comprising product
engineering and life cycle solutions and business process management); Consulting and systems integration services (comprising
consulting, enterprise solutions, systems integration and advanced technologies); Products, business platforms and solutions to
accelerate intellectual property-led innovation including Finacle, its banking solution; and offerings in the areas of Analytics,
Cloud, and Digital Transformation.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext London and Euronext Paris.
The Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements are authorized for issue by the company's Board of Directors on January 13, 2017.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS) and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016. Accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in these financial statements added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in these financial statements.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded.
Associates are entities over which the group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
1.4 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates
a. Revenue recognition
The group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the group to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
b. Income taxes
The company's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the U.S., though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 2.11.
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Significant estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration and intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts.
d. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
e. Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.
1.6 Revenue recognition
The company derives revenues primarily from software development and related services and from the licensing of software products. Arrangements with customers for software related services are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.
Revenue on time-and-material contracts are recognized as the related services are performed and revenue from the end of the last billing to the balance sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenues. Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Costs and earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of costs and earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Deferred contract costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, the company has applied the guidance in IAS 18, Revenue, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each separately identifiable component of a single transaction. The arrangements generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as separately identifiable components. For allocating the consideration, the company has measured the revenue in respect of each separable component of a transaction at its fair value, in accordance with principles given in IAS 18. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its fair value. In cases where the company is unable to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the software development and related services, the company has used a residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In these cases the balance of the consideration, after allocating the fair values of undelivered components of a transaction has been allocated to the delivered components for which specific fair values do not exist.
License fee revenues are recognized when the general revenue recognition criteria given in IAS 18 are met. Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). The company has applied the principles given in IAS 18 to account for revenues from these multiple element arrangements. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value has been established for ATS. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. When other services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and objective and reliable evidence of their fair values have been established, the revenue from such contracts are allocated to each component of the contract in a manner, whereby revenue is deferred for the undelivered services and the residual amounts are recognized as revenue for delivered elements. In the absence of objective and reliable evidence of fair value for implementation, the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the services are performed. ATS revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Advances received for services and products are reported as client deposits until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
The company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives amount to each of the underlying revenue transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive. Also, when the level of discount varies with increases in levels of revenue transactions, the company recognizes the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognized until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The company recognizes changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts are passed on to the customer either as direct payments or as a reduction of payments due from the customer.
The company presents revenues net of value-added taxes in its statement of comprehensive income.
1.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Building | 22-25 years |
Plant and machinery | 5 years |
Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Vehicles | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. (Refer note 2.7)
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
1.8 Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders’ fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
1.9 Financial instruments
Effective April 1, 2016, the group has elected to early adopt IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments considering April 1, 2015 as the date of initial application of the standard even though the stipulated effective date for adoption is April 1, 2018.
As per IFRS 9, the group has classified its financial assets into the following categories based on the business model for managing those assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics:
- | Financial assets carried at amortised cost |
- | Financial assets fair valued through other comprehensive income |
- | Financial assets fair valued through profit and loss |
The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any other material impact on the consolidated financial statements, hence prior period figures have not been restated. The impact on account of adoption of IFRS 9 is given in Note 2.2.
1.9.1 Initial recognition
The group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
1.9.2 Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where the Group has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of comprehensive income.
c. Share capital and treasury shares
(i) Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(ii) Treasury Shares
When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium.
1.9.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.10 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
1.11 Impairment
a. Financial assets
The group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
b. Non-financial assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
(ii) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
1.12 Employee benefits
1.12.1 Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPO's Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by law of India.
The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of comprehensive income.
1.12.2 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
1.12.3 Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.
In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
1.12.4 Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
1.13 Share-based compensation
The Group recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share premium.
1.14 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
1.15 Recent accounting pronouncements
1.15.1 Standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers: In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 15 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, though early adoption is permitted. In September 2015, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 15, deferring the adoption of the standard to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 instead of January 1, 2017.
The Group is evaluating the effect of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements including the transition method to be adopted and the related disclosures. The group continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on ongoing financial reporting.
IFRS 16 Leases : On January, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17.
The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, though early adoption is permitted for companies applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group is yet to evaluate the requirements of IFRS 16 and the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 22, Foreign currency transactions and Advance consideration: On December 8, 2016, the IFRS interpretations committee of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS interpretation, IFRIC 22, Foreign currency transactions and Advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effective date for adoption of IFRIC 22 is annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, though early adoption is permitted. The Group is yet to evaluate the requirements of IFRIC 22 and the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Liquid mutual funds
The cost and fair value of liquid mutual funds
as of December 31, 2016 was 4,356 crore and
4,360 crore, respectively. The cost and fair value of liquid mutual funds as of March
31, 2016 was
68 crore. The fair value is based on quoted price.
Quoted debt securities carried at amortized cost:
Investment in quoted debt securities represents
the investments made in debt securities issued by government and quasi government organisations. The fair value of quoted debt
securities (including interest accrued) as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 is 1,846 crore and
1,703 crore, respectively.
The fair value is based on quoted prices and market observable inputs.
Quoted debt securities fair valued through other comprehensive income:
Investment in quoted debt securities represents
investmenst made in non-convertible debentures issued by government aided institutions. The cost and fair value of non-convertible
debentures (including interest accrued) as of December 31, 2016 is 3,618 crore. The fair value is based on quoted prices and market
observable inputs.
Impact on account of adoption of IFRS 9
Certain investments which were earlier carried at fair value through other comprehensive income under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement are now carried at amortised cost under IFRS 9, where the business model is to hold the asset, in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount. The impact of such change in measurement did not have a material impact on the financial statements. Hence, the company has not restated the prior period figures and the cumulative impact has been recorded in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Accordingly, for the nine months ended December
31, 2016, the company has recorded, in its other comprehensive income, a reversal of unrealised gain, net of taxes, of 35 crore
(recorded on quoted debt securities as on April, 1, 2016), with a corresponding change in investment and deferred taxes.
Further, under IFRS 9, the impairment of financial assets is measured under the 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, which uses a dual measurement approach, under which the loss allowance is measured as either 12 month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. The change in the impairment model did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.

For each of the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50% and 0.49%, respectively.
For each of the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50% .
Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion into functional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the group has designated certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserve are expected to occur and reclassified to the statement of profit or loss within 3 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table provides the reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on
its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date
is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 12,942 crore and
11,330 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively
and unbilled revenue amounting to
3,413 crore and
3,029 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Trade
receivables and unbilled revenue are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in
the United States. Credit risk has always been managed by the group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously
monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account
of adoption of IFRS 9, the group uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The group uses a provision
matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The provision matrix takes into
account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default swap quotes, credit ratings from international
credit rating agencies and the Group's historical experience for customers.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top five customers:

Credit risk exposure
The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss
on customer balances for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 36 crore and

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi government organizations and non convertible debentures.
Liquidity risk
The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The group has no outstanding bank borrowings. The group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As of December 31, 2016, the Group had a working
capital of 37,671 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
26,113 crore and current investments of
4,367 crore. As of March
31, 2016, the Group had a working capital of
38,456 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
32,697 crore and current investments
of
75 crore.
As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016,
the outstanding employee benefit obligations were 1,428 crore and
1,341 crore, respectively, which have been substantially funded.
Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
(In

Goodwill on Kallidus d.b.a Skava acquisition (Refer note 2.9) | – | 452 |
Goodwill on Noah acquisition (Refer note 2.9) | – | 30 |
Translation differences | (4) | 191 |
Carrying value at the end | 3,760 | 3,764 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generate units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. The chief operating decision maker reviews the goodwill for any impairment at the operating segment level, which is represented through groups of CGU’s.
During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company reorganized some of its segments to enhance executive customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight. Consequent to these internal reorganizations there were changes effected in the segments based on the “management approach” as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. (Refer Note 2.14). Accordingly the goodwill has been allocated to the new operating segments as at March 31, 2016:
(In
crore)
Segment | As of |
March 31, 2016 | |
Financial services | 851 |
Manufacturing | 423 |
Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics | 573 |
Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance | 656 |
Energy & Utilities, Communication and Services | 789 |
3,292 | |
Operating segments without significant goodwill | 472 |
Total | 3,764 |
The entire goodwill relating to Infosys BPO’s acquisition of McCamish has been allocated to the groups of CGU’s which are represented by the Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance segment.
The goodwill relating to Infosys Lodestone, Portland, Panaya and Kallidus d.b.a Skava acquisitions has been allocated to the groups of CGU’s which are represented by the entity’s operating segment.
The entire goodwill relating to Noah acquisition has been allocated to the group of CGU's which is represented by the Energy & Utilities, Communication and Services segment.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization. The value-in-use is determined based on specific calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections over a period of five years. An average of the range of each assumption used is mentioned below. As of March 31, 2016, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount. The recoverable amount was computed based on the fair value being higher than value-in-use and the carrying amount of the CGU was computed by allocating the net assets to operating segments for the purpose of impairment testing. The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows:
(in %)
March 31, 2016 | |
Long term growth rate | 8-10 |
Operating margins | 17-20 |
Discount rate | 14.2 |
The above discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.

The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill.
The purchase price has been allocated based on management’s estimates and independent appraisal of fair values as follows:

2.14 Segment reporting
IFRS 8 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Group reorganized some of its segments to enhance executive customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight consequent to which, erstwhile manufacturing segment is now being reviewed as Hi-Tech, Manufacturing and others included in ECS. Additionally, Infosys Public services (IPS) is being reviewed separately by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Consequent to the internal reorganizations, there were changes effected in the reportable business segments based on the "management approach" as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The CODM evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments. Accordingly, information has been presented both along business segments and geographic segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the significant accounting policies.
Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services (FS), enterprises in Manufacturing (MFG), enterprises in Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics (RCL), enterprises in the Energy & utilities, Communication and Services (ECS), enterprises in Hi-tech (Hi-TECH), enterprises in Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance (HILIFE) and all other segments. The FS reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and the Finacle operating segment. All other segments represents the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan and China and IPS. Geographic segmentation is based on business sourced from that geographic region and delivered from both on-site and off-shore locations. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west), Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World comprising all other places except those mentioned above and India. Consequent to the above changes in the composition of reportable business segments, the prior period comparatives have been restated.
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for “all other segments” represents revenue generated by IPS and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Company's offshore software development centres and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.
Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
Geographical information on revenue and business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

INFOSYS LIMITED
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Company overview
Infosys ('the Company') is a leading provider
in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services. Along with its subsidiaries, Infosys provides Business IT
services (comprising application development and maintenance, independent validation, infrastructure management, engineering services
comprising product engineering and life cycle solutions and business process management); Consulting and systems integration services
(comprising consulting, enterprise solutions, systems integration and advanced technologies); Products, business platforms and
solutions to accelerate intellectual property-led innovation including Finacle, its banking solution; and offerings in the areas
of Analytics, Cloud, and Digital Transformation.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The company has its primary listings on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext London and Euronext Paris.
The interim financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on January 13, 2017.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements are prepared in accordance
with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial
instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act , 2013 (Act') (to the extent notified) and
guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act
read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2016.
The Company has adopted all the Ind AS standards and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from Indian Accounting Principles generally accepted in India as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition has been summarized in note 2.1.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in these financial statements added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in these financial statements.
1.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in note 1.4. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Critical accounting estimates
a. Revenue recognition
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
b. Income taxes
The Company's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the U.S., though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 2.17 and Note 2.24.
c. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
1.5 Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from software development and related services and from the licensing of software products. Arrangements with customers for software related services are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.
Revenue on time-and-material contracts are recognized as the related services are performed and revenue from the end of the last billing to the balance sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenues. Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Costs and earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of costs and earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Deferred contract costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, the Company has applied the guidance in Ind AS 18, Revenue, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each separately identifiable component of a single transaction. The arrangements generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as separately identifiable components. For allocating the consideration, the Company has measured the revenue in respect of each separable component of a transaction at its fair value, in accordance with principles given in Ind AS 18. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its fair value. In cases where the Company is unable to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the software development and related services, the Company has used a residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In these cases the balance of the consideration, after allocating the fair values of undelivered components of a transaction has been allocated to the delivered components for which specific fair values do not exist.
License fee revenues are recognized when the general revenue recognition criteria given in Ind AS 18 are met. Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). The Company has applied the principles given in Ind AS 18 to account for revenues from these multiple element arrangements. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value has been established for ATS. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. When other services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and objective and reliable evidence of their fair values have been established, the revenue from such contracts are allocated to each component of the contract in a manner, whereby revenue is deferred for the undelivered services and the residual amounts are recognized as revenue for delivered elements. In the absence of objective and reliable evidence of fair value for implementation, the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the services are performed. ATS revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Advances received for services and products are reported as client deposits until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
The Company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives amount to each of the underlying revenue transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive. Also, when the level of discount varies with increases in levels of revenue transactions, the company recognizes the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognized until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The company recognizes changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts are passed on to the customer either as direct payments or as a reduction of payments due from the customer.
The company presents revenues net of value-added taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The company depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Building(1) | 22-25 years |
Plant and machinery(1) | 5 years |
Office equipment | 5 years |
Computer equipment(1) | 3-5 years |
Furniture and fixtures(1) | 5 years |
Vehicles(1) | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
(1) | Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. |
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
1.7 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs and software development costs incurred under contractual arrangements with customers are accounted as expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.8 Financial instruments
1.8.1 Initial recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
1.8.2 Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. Further, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
(v) Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the separate financial statements.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The company designates certain foreign exchange
forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast
cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative
is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes
in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of profit and loss. If the hedging
instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging
instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash
flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction
occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in
the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no
longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
c. Share capital
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
1.8.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.9 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
1.10 Impairment
a. Financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
b. Non-financial assets
(i) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
1.11 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
a. Post sales client support
The Company provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support for corrections of errors and support on all its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The company estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.
b. Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
1.12 Foreign currency
Functional currency
The functional currency of the company is the Indian rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
Transactions and translations
Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction.
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cashflow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
1.13 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
1.14 Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to share premium.
1.15 Employee benefits
1.15.1 Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by laws of India.
The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.15.2 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Company has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
1.15.3 Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.
1.15.4 Compensated absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
1.16 Share-based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account.
1.17 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
1.18 Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
1.19 Other income
Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of other assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
1.20 Leases
Leases under which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease term.
2 Notes to the standalone financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016
2.1 First-time adoption of Ind-AS
These standalone interim financial statements of Infosys Limited for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the purposes of transition to Ind AS, the Company has followed the guidance prescribed in Ind AS 101 - First Time adoption of Indian Accounting Standard, with April 1, 2015 as the transition date and IGAAP as the previous GAAP.
The transition to Ind AS has resulted in changes in the presentation of the financial statements, disclosures in the notes thereto and accounting policies and principles. The accounting policies set out in Note 1 have been applied in preparing the standalone financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and the comparative information. An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s Balance Sheet , Statement of Profit and Loss, is set out in note 2.2 and 2.2.2. Exemptions on first time adoption of Ind AS availed in accordance with Ind AS 101 have been set out in note 2.1.1.
2.1.1 Exemptions availed on first time adoption of Ind-AS 101
Ind-AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has accordingly applied the following exemptions.
(a) Share-based payment
The Company is allowed to apply Ind AS 102 Share-based payment to equity instruments that remain unvested as of transition date. The Company has elected to avail this exemption and apply the requirements of Ind AS 102 to all such grants under the 2015 plan (formerly 2011 plan). Accordingly, these options have been measured at fair value as against intrinsic value previously under IGAAP.
The excess of stock compensation expense measured using fair value over the cost recognized under IGAAP using intrinsic value has been adjusted in 'Share Option Outstanding Account', with the corresponding impact taken to the retained earnings as on the transition date.
(b) Designation of previously recognized financial instruments
Under Ind AS 109, at initial recognition of a financial asset, an entity may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income. Ind AS 101 allows such designation of previously recognized financial assets, as ' fair value through other comprehensive income' on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Accordingly, the Company has designated its investments in certain equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.

A one percentage point change in the unobservable inputs used in fair valuation of the contingent consideration does not have a significant impact in its value.
The movement in contingent consideration as
of December 31, 2016 from March 31, 2016 is on account of settlement of contingent consideration of 40 crore and change in discount
rates and passage of time.
The fair value of liquid mutual funds is based on quoted price. The fair value of tax free bonds and government bonds is based on quoted prices and market observable inputs. The fair value is of non-convertible debentures is based on quoted prices and market observable inputs. Derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Company operates internationally and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Company’s operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.

For the three month ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.52% and 0.51%, respectively.
For the nine month ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.52%.
Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion into functional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or a financial institution. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the group has designated certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserve are expected to occur and reclassified to the statement of profit or loss within 3 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table provides the reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on
its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date
is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 11,466 crore and
9,798 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively
and unbilled revenue amounting to
3,048 crore and
2,673 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Trade
receivables and unbilled revenue are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in
the United States. Credit risk has always been managed by the group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously
monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account
of adoption of Ind AS 109, the group uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The group uses a provision
matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The provision matrix takes into
account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default swap quotes, credit ratings from international
credit rating agencies and the Group's historical experience for customers.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top five customers:

Credit risk exposure
The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss
on customer balances for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 31 crore and

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi government organizations, non convertible debentures issued by government aided institutions and certificates of deposit which are funds deposited at a bank for a specified time period.
Liquidity risk
The company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a working
capital of 33,801 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
22,503 crore and current investments of
4,225 crore. As of March
31, 2016, the Company had a working capital of
34,509 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
29,176 crore and current investments
of
2 crore.
As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016,
the outstanding compensated absences were 1,210 crore and
1,130 crore, respectively, which have been substantially funded. Accordingly,
no liquidity risk is perceived.

Forfeited shares amounted to 1,500/- (
1,500/-)
The Company has only one class of shares referred
to as equity shares having a par value of 5/-. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.The equity shares

fully paid-up shares of face value 5/- each during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, pursuant to bonus issue
approved by the shareholders through postal ballot. For both the bonus issues, bonus share of one equity share for every equity
share held, and a stock dividend of one American Depositary Share (ADS) for every ADS held, respectively, has been allotted. Consequently,
the ratio of equity shares underlying the ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt holder remains unchanged. Options granted
under the restricted stock unit plan have been adjusted for bonus shares.
The Board has increased dividend pay-out ratio from up to 40% to up to 50% of post-tax consolidated profits effective fiscal 2015.
The Board of Directors, in its meeting on April
15, 2016, proposed a final dividend of 14.25/- per equity share and the same was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting held on June 18, 2016, this resulted in a cash outflow of
3,939 crore including corporate dividend tax. (Refer note
2.2.1 for impact on transition to Ind AS)
The Board of Directors, in their meeting on
October 14, 2016, declared an interim dividend of 11/- per equity share, which resulted in a cash outflow of
3,041 crore, inclusive
of corporate dividend tax.

Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP):
2015 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2015 Plan): SEBI issued the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 (‘SEBI Regulations’) which replaced the SEBI ESOP Guidelines, 1999. The 2011 Plan (as explained below) was required to be amended and restated in accordance with the SEBI Regulations.

The applicable Indian statutory tax rate for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 is 34.61%.
The foreign tax expense is due to income taxes payable overseas, principally in the United States. In India, the company has benefited from certain tax incentives that the Government of India has provided to the export of software for the units registered under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (SEZ). SEZ units which began the provision of services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision of services and 50 percent of such profits or gains for further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone re-Investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units and utilization of such reserve by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Infosys is subject to a 15% Branch Profit Tax
(BPT) in the U.S. to the extent its U.S. branch's net profit during the year is greater than the increase in the net assets of
the U.S. branch during the year, computed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2016, Infosys' U.S. branch
net assets amounted to approximately 5,109 crore. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has provided for branch profit tax of
343
crore for its U.S branch, as the Company estimates that these branch profits are expected to be distributed in the foreseeable
future. The change in provision for branch profit tax includes
9 crore movement on account of exchange rate during the nine months
ended December 31, 2016.
Deferred income tax liabilities have not been
recognized on temporary differences amounting to 5,226 crore and
4,195 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively,
associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches as it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the published statistics by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The Company assesses these assumptions with its projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards. The discount rate is based on the government securities yield.

increase / decrease in discount rate will affect our gratuity benefit obligation by approximately 58 crore.
As of December 31, 2016, every percentage point
increase / decrease in weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels will affect our gratuity benefit obligation by
approximately 49 crore.
Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant.
Gratuity is applicable only to employees drawing a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other foreign defined benefit gratuity plans.
The Company contributes all ascertained liabilities towards gratuity to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the plan assets have been primarily invested in insurer managed funds.

Demand for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 includes disallowance of a portion of the deduction claimed by the company under Section 10A of the income Tax Act as determined by the ratio of export turnover to total turnover. The disallowance arose from certain expenses incurred in foreign currency being reduced from export turnover but not reduced from total turnover.

The matter for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 is pending before Hon’ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Bangalore. The Company is contesting the demand and the management including its tax advisors believes that its position will likely be upheld in the appellate process. The management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not reasonably expect that these legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

2.26 SEGMENT REPORTING
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments. Accordingly, information has been presented both along business segments and geographic segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the significant accounting policies.
Business segments of the Company are primarily enterprises in Financial Services (FS), enterprises in Manufacturing (MFG), enterprises in Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics (RCL), enterprises in the Energy & utilities, Communication and Services (ECS), enterprises in Hi-tech (Hi-tech), enterprises in Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance (HILIFE) and all other segments. All other segments represents the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan and China. Geographic segmentation is based on business sourced from that geographic region and delivered from both on-site and off-shore locations. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west), Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World comprising all other places except those mentioned above and India.
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for “all other segments” represents revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Company's offshore software development centres and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Company.
Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
Geographical information on revenue and business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

INFOSYS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Company overview
Infosys is a leading provider in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services. Along with its subsidiaries, Infosys provides Business IT services (comprising application development and maintenance, independent validation, infrastructure management, engineering services comprising product engineering and life cycle solutions and business process management); Consulting and systems integration services (comprising consulting, enterprise solutions, systems integration and advanced technologies); Products, business platforms and solutions to accelerate intellectual property-led innovation including Finacle, its banking solution; and offerings in the areas of Analytics, Cloud, and Digital Transformation.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange in India. The Company’s American Depositary Shares representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext London and Euronext Paris.
The Group's consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on January 13, 2017
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
The Group has adopted all the Ind AS standards and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 - First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from Indian Accounting Principles generally accepted in India as prescribed under Sec 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition has been summarized in Note 2.1 and 2.2
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in these financial statements added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in these financial statements.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 2.25. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded.
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
1.4 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates
a. Revenue recognition
The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.
b. Income taxes
The Company's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the U.S., though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 2.17.
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Significant estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration and intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts.
d. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
e. Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes
Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.
1.6 Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from software development and related services and from the licensing of software products. Arrangements with customers for software related services are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.
Revenue on time-and-material contracts are recognized as the related services are performed and revenue from the end of the last billing to the balance sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenues. Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Costs and earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of costs and earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Deferred contract costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement.
In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, the Company has applied the guidance in Ind AS 18, Revenue, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each separately identifiable component of a single transaction. The arrangements generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as separately identifiable components. For allocating the consideration, the Company has measured the revenue in respect of each separable component of a transaction at its fair value, in accordance with principles given in Ind AS 18. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its fair value. In cases where the company is unable to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the software development and related services, the Company has used a residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In these cases the balance of the consideration, after allocating the fair values of undelivered components of a transaction has been allocated to the delivered components for which specific fair values do not exist.
License fee revenues are recognized when the general revenue recognition criteria given in Ind AS 18 are met. Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). The Company has applied the principles given in Ind AS 18 to account for revenues from these multiple element arrangements. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value has been established for ATS. Objective and reliable evidence of fair value is the price charged when the element is sold separately. When other services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and objective and reliable evidence of their fair values have been established, the revenue from such contracts are allocated to each component of the contract in a manner, whereby revenue is deferred for the undelivered services and the residual amounts are recognized as revenue for delivered elements. In the absence of objective and reliable evidence of fair value for implementation, the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the services are performed. ATS revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Advances received for services and products are reported as client deposits until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
The Group accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of the discounts/ incentives amount to each of the underlying revenue transaction that results in progress by the customer towards earning the discount/ incentive. Also, when the level of discount varies with increases in levels of revenue transactions, the company recognizes the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognized until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The company recognizes changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts are passed on to the customer either as direct payments or as a reduction of payments due from the customer.
The Company presents revenues net of value-added taxes in its statement of profit and loss
1.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Building (1) | 22–25 years |
Plant and machinery (1) | 5 years |
Office equipment | 5 years |
Computer equipment (1) | 3–5 years |
Furniture and fixtures (1) | 5 years |
Vehicles(1) | 5 years |
(1) | Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
1.8 Business combinations
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition.
Business combinations between entities under common control is accounted for at carrying value.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders’ fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
1.9 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognized immediately in net profit in the statement of profit and loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
1.10 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs and software development costs incurred under contractual arrangements with customers are accounted as cost of sales.
1.11 Financial instruments
1.11.1 Initial recognition
The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
1.11.2 Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where the Group has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of profit and loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.
c. Share capital and treasury shares
(i) Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(ii) Treasury Shares
When any entity within the Group purchases the Company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium.
1.11.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.12 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
1.13 Impairment
a. Financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit or loss.
b. Non-financial assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
(ii) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
1.14 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support for corrections of errors and support on all its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in cost of sales. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.
b. Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
1.15 Foreign currency
Functional currency
The functional currency of Infosys, Infosys BPO, controlled trusts, EdgeVerve and Skava is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for Infosys Australia, Infosys China, Infosys Mexico, Infosys Sweden, Infosys Brasil, Infosys Public Services, Infosys Shanghai, Infosys Lodestone, Infosys Americas, Infosys Nova, Panaya, Kallidus and Noah are the respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
Transactions and translations
Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction.
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the statement of profit and loss. However when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.
1.16 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
1.17 Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to share premium.
1.18 Employee benefits
1.18.1 Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPO's Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by law of India.
The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of profit and loss.
1.18.2 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
1.18.3 Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.
In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
1.18.4 Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
1.19 Share-based compensation
The Group recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account.
1.20 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
1.21 Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the company's Board of Directors.
1.22 Other income
Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of other assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
1.23 Leases
Leases under which the group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis in net profit in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term.
1.24 Government grants
The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in net profit in the statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.
INFOSYS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
2 | Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 |
2.1 First-time adoption of Ind-AS
These consolidated interim financial statements of Infosys Limited and its subsidiaries for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the purposes of transition to Ind AS, the company has followed the guidance prescribed in Ind AS 101 - First Time adoption of Indian Accounting Standard, with April 1, 2015 as the transition date and IGAAP as the previous GAAP.
The transition to Ind AS has resulted in changes in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements, disclosures in the notes thereto and accounting policies and principles. The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and the comparative information. An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Group’s Consolidated Balance sheet and Consolidated Statement of profit and loss, is set out in note 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. Exemptions on first time adoption of Ind AS availed in accordance with Ind AS 101 have been set out in note 2.1.1
2.1.1 Exemptions availed on first time adoption of Ind-AS 101
Ind-AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Group has accordingly applied the following exemptions
(a) Business Combination
The Group is allowed to choose any date in the past from which it wants to account for the business combinations under Ind AS 103, without having to restate business combinations prior to such date. Accordingly, the group has applied the standard for all acquisitions completed after April 1, 2007, which coincides with the group's date of transition to IFRS.
For all such acquisitions,
-Intangible assets previously included within goodwill under IGAAP have been recognized separately in the opening Balance Sheet in accordance with Ind AS 103
- | deferred taxes have been recorded on intangible assets, wherever applicable |
- | goodwill has been restated in accordance with Ind AS 21, with the corresponding impact in the other comprehensive income in equity |
- | retained earnings has been adjusted to include the amortization on identified intangibles, net of taxes, that would have been recorded from the date of acquisition till the transition date. |
(b) Share-based payment transaction
The group is allowed to apply Ind AS 102 Share-based payment to equity instruments that remain unvested as of transition date. The group has elected to avail this exemption and apply the requirements of Ind AS 102 to all such grants under the 2015 plan (Formerly 2011 plan). Accordingly, these options have been measured at fair value as against intrinsic value, previously under IGAAP.
The excess of stock compensation expense measured using fair value over the cost recognized under IGAAP using intrinsic value has been adjusted in 'Share Options Outstanding Account', with the corresponding impact taken to the retained earnings as on the transition date.
(c) Designation of previously recognized financial instruments
Under Ind AS 109, at initial recognition of a financial asset, an entity may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income. Ind AS 101 allows such designation of previously recognized financial assets, as 'FVOCI' on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Accordingly, the Group has designated its investments in certain equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.

of $33 million (approximately 216 crore), contingent consideration of upto $5 million (approximately

2.5 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
In crore
As of | ||
December 31, 2016 | March 31, 2016 | |
Carrying value at the beginning | 3,764 | 3,091 |
Goodwill on Kallidus d.b.a Skava acquisition (Refer note 2.3) | – | 452 |
Goodwill on Noah acquisition (Refer note 2.3) | – | 30 |
Translation differences | (4) | 191 |
Carrying value at the end | 3,760 | 3,764 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generate units (CGU) or groups of CGU’s, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. The chief operating decision maker reviews the goodwill for any impairment at the operating segment level, which is represented through groups of CGU’s.
The following table gives the break up of allocation of goodwill to operating segments as at April 1, 2015
In crore
Segment | As at |
April 1, 2015 | |
Financial services | 663 |
Insurance | 367 |
Manufacturing | 656 |
Energy, Communication and Services | 318 |
Resources and utilities | 141 |
Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics | 473 |
Life Sciences and Healthcare | 193 |
Growth Markets | 280 |
Total | 3,091 |
During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company reorganized some of its segments to enhance executive customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight. Consequent to these internal reorganizations there were changes effected in the segments based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments. Accordingly the goodwill has been allocated to the new operating segments as at March 31, 2016.
(In crore)
Segment | As of |
March 31, 2016 | |
Financial services | 851 |
Manufacturing | 423 |
Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics | 573 |
Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance | 656 |
Energy & Utilities, Communication and Services | 789 |
3,292 | |
Operating segments without significant goodwill | 472 |
Total | 3,764 |
The entire goodwill relating to Infosys BPO’s acquisition of McCamish has been allocated to the groups of CGU’s which are represented by the Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance segment.
The goodwill relating to Infosys Lodestone, Portland, Panaya and Kallidus d.b.a Skava has been allocated to the groups of CGU’s which are represented by the entity’s operating segment.
The entire goodwill relating to Noah acquisition has been allocated to the group of CGU's which is represented by the Energy & Utilities, Communication and Services segment.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization. The value-in-use is determined based on specific calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections for a CGU / groups of CGU's over a period of five years. An average of the range of each assumption used is mentioned below. As of March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount. The recoverable amount was computed based on the fair value less cost to sell being higher than value-in-use. The carrying amount of the CGU was computed by allocating the net assets to operating segments for the purpose of impairment testing. The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows:
(in %)
As of | ||
March 31, 2016 | April 1, 2015 | |
Long term growth rate | 8-10 | 8-10 |
Operating margins | 17-20 | 17-20 |
Discount rate | 14.2 | 13.9 |
The above discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.

A one percentage point change in the unobservable inputs used in fair valuation of the contingent consideration does not have a significant impact in its value.
The movement in contingent consideration as
of December 31, 2016 from March 31, 2016 is on account of settlement of contingent consideration of 40 crore and change in discount
rate and passage of time.
The fair value of liquid mutual funds is based on quoted price. The fair value of tax free bonds and government bonds is based on quoted prices and market observable inputs. The fair value is of non-convertible debentures is based on quoted prices and market observable inputs. Derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.

For each of the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50%. and 0.49%, respectively.
For each of the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, has affected the Company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.50%.
Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion into functional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the group has designated certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserve are expected to occur and reclassified to the statement of profit or loss within 3 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table provides the reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on
its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date
is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 12,942 crore and
11,330 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively
and unbilled revenue amounting to
3,413,crore and
3,029 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Trade
receivables and unbilled revenue are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in
the United States. Credit risk has always been managed by the group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously
monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account
of adoption of Ind AS 109, the group uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The group uses a provision
matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The provision matrix takes into
account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default swap quotes, credit ratings from international
credit rating agencies and the Group's historical experience for customers.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top five customers:

Credit risk exposure
The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss
on customer balances for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 36 crore and
76 crore, respectively. The
reversal of provision of allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the three months and nine months
ended December 31, 2015 was

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi government organizations and non convertible debentures.
Liquidity risk
The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
As of December 31, 2016, the Group had a working
capital of 37,671 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
26,113 crore and current investments of
4,367 crore. As of March
31, 2016, the Group had a working capital of
38,514 crore including cash and cash equivalents of
32,697 crore and current investments
of
75 crore.
As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016,
the outstanding employee compensated absenses were 1,428,crore and
1,341 crore, respectively, which have been substantially funded.
Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

July 31, 2015 based on the approval received from Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) on November 23, 2011
which was renewed effective April 2014. With effect from August 1, 2015 the business of Finacle, including the R&D activities,
was transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary Edgeverve Systems Limited. However the approval for Edgeverve was effective April
2016.
The foreign expense is due to income taxes payable overseas principally in the United States. In India, the company has benefited from certain tax incentives that the Government of India had provided for export of software from the units registered under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (SEZ). SEZ units which began the provision of services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision of services and 50 percent of such profits or gains for further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone re-Investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units and utilization of such reserve by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Infosys is subject to a 15% Branch Profit Tax
(BPT) in the U.S. to the extent its U.S. branch's net profit during the year is greater than the increase in the net assets of
the U.S. branch during the year, computed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2016, Infosys' U.S. branch
net assets amounted to approximately 5,109 crore. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has provided for branch profit tax of
343
crore for its U.S branch, as the Company estimates that these branch profits are expected to be distributed in the foreseeable
future. The change in provision for branch profit tax includes
9 crore movement on account of exchange rate during the nine months
ended December 31, 2016.
Deferred income tax liabilities have not been
recognized on temporary differences amounting to 5,226 crore and
4,195 crore as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively,
associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches as it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.

In assessing the reliability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
The gross movement in the deferred income tax account for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is as follows:

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are set out below:
Particulars | Three months ended December 31, | Nine months ended December 31, | ||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |

Weighted average duration of defined benefit obligation | 6.4 years | 6.5 years | 6.4 years | 6.5 years |
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the published statistics by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The Company assesses these assumptions with its projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards. The discount rate is based on the government securities yield.
As of December 31, 2016, every percentage point
increase / decrease in discount rate will affect our gratuity benefit obligation by approximately 58 crore.
As of December 31, 2016, every percentage point
increase / decrease in weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels will affect our gratuity benefit obligation by
approximately 49 crore.
Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant.
Gratuity is applicable only to employees drawing a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other foreign defined benefit gratuity plans.
The Company contributes all ascertained liabilities towards gratuity to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust. In case of Infosys BPO and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPO Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the plan assets have been primarily invested in insurer managed funds.

The actuary has provided a valuation for provident fund liabilities on the basis of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India and based on the below provided assumptions there is no shortfall as at December 31, 2016, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015, respectively.

for payment of tax of 4,557 crore (

1,355 crore (
1,224 crore) upon completion of their
tax assessment for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009, fiscal 2010, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2013.
Demand for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 includes disallowance of a portion of the deduction claimed by the company
under Section 10A of the income Tax Act as determined by the ratio of export turnover to total turnover. The disallowance arose
from certain expenses incurred in foreign currency being reduced from export turnover but not reduced from total turnover. Demand
for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2009, fiscal 2010, fiscal 2011 also includes disallowance of portion of profit earned outside
India from the STP units under section 10A of the Income Tax Act and disallowance of profits earned from SEZ units under section
10AA of the Income Tax Act. Demand for fiscal 2013 includes disallowance of certain expenses incurred in foreign currency being
reduced from export turnover but not reduced from total turnover and disallowance of profits earned from SEZ units which commenced
operations before April 1, 2009 under section 10AA of the Income Tax Act and also others. The matters for fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008
and fiscal 2009 are pending before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) Bangalore. The matter for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011
is pending before Hon’ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Bangalore. The Company is contesting the demand and the management
including its tax advisors believes that its position will likely be upheld in the appellate process. The management believes that
the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results
of operations.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not reasonably expect that these legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

2.26 SEGMENT REPORTING
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. Based on the "management approach" as defined in INDAS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Marker (CODM) evaluates the group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments. Accordingly, information has been presented both along business segments and geographic segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the significant accounting policies.
Business segments of the group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services (FS), enterprises in Manufacturing (MFG), enterprises in Retail, Consumer packaged goods and Logistics (RCL), enterprises in the Energy & utilities, Communication and Services (ECS), enterprises in Hi-tech (Hi-tech), enterprises in Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance (HILIFE) and all other segments. The FS reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and the Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of the economic characteristics. All other segments represents the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan and China and IPS. Geographic segmentation is based on business sourced from that geographic region and delivered from both on-site and off-shore locations. North America comprises the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, Europe includes continental Europe (both the east and the west), Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World comprising all other places except those mentioned above and India.
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for “all other segments” represents revenue generated by IPS and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the group's offshore software development centres and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the group.
Assets and liabilities used in the group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.
Geographical information on revenue and business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.
