Hyderabad:
Satyam Computer Services has recorded a total income of
Rs1,849.55 crore and a net profit of Rs393 crore for the
fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007 against a total income
of Rs1,342.51 crore and a net profit of Rs284.83 crore
for the corresponding quarter last year.
This
reflects a growth of 37.7 per cent in revenues and 38.2
per cent in net profit over the same quarter last year.
For
the full year, Satyam''s revenues stood at Rs6,668.86 crore
(Rs5,125.84 crore), a growth of about 30.09 per cent.
The net profit was Rs1,404.62 crore (Rs1,149.06 crore),
a growth of 22.24 per cent.
The
company''s management provided a revenue guidance of $1.87
billion to $1.9 billion. The company hinted at revenues
touching the $2-billion mark in third and fourth quarters.
The
chairman of Satyam Computer, B Ramalinga Raju, said this
growth might translate into 28-30 per cent in 2008 over
fiscal 2007 in dollar terms and 20 to 22 per cent in rupee
terms.
EPS
for the full year is expected to be between Rs25.32 and
Rs25.73, a growth of 18-20 per cent.
The
company''s board has proposed a final dividend of 125 per
cent, thereby taking the total dividend to 175 per cent.
Raju
said the business portfolio of the company has undergone
a change and dependence on the US market has come down.
The
US business has come below 60 per cent and Europe contributes
about 20 per cent and Australia seven per cent. This distributed
business, coupled with over 50 per cent revenue from offshore,
has helped create more value to customers and margins
to the company.
The
company had performed despite pressure on margins due
to wage hikes which resulted in 5 per cent increase in
overseas salaries and 16 per cent for associates in India.
Satyam
has added 138 customers in fiscal 2007, including seven
Fortune 500 companies.
