💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Consolidated revenue grew by 3.40% in CY2024 to INR 1,741.72 Cr. For the 9-month period ending September 2025, revenue reached INR 1,403.1 Cr, representing an 8.5% YoY growth. Q3 2025 revenue specifically grew 12.3% YoY to INR 498.6 Cr, driven by the conversion of large deals and momentum in digital engineering services.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company has high geographic concentration with North America contributing approximately 75% of total turnover and Europe contributing 10-15%. Combined, these two regions accounted for 83% of total revenues in CY2024, making the company highly sensitive to Western macroeconomic cycles.

Profitability Margins

Adjusted PAT for Jan-Sep 2025 was INR 133.2 Cr, a 23.3% increase YoY, resulting in an adjusted PAT margin of 9.5% (up 114 bps). Profitability is supported by improved price realization and utilization, though slightly offset by increased SG&A and RSU expenses.

EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17.2% for the first nine months of 2025 compared to 16.3% in the previous year, an 86 bps increase. Q3 2025 adjusted EBITDA stood at INR 84.4 Cr (16.9% margin). The improvement is attributed to higher employee utilization levels which rose to 82.6% in Q2 2025.

Capital Expenditure

The company maintains moderate annual maintenance capital expenditure ranging between INR 25 Cr and INR 40 Cr. Recent investments include office expansion in Pune, which increased ROU amortization, and capitalized intangibles of INR 6.3 Cr from the Velotio and Scaleworx acquisitions.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

RSIL maintains a strong credit profile with CRISIL and ICRA ratings reflecting a 'Stable' outlook. Debt protection metrics are robust with an interest coverage ratio of approximately 30 times and negligible total debt of approximately INR 8 Cr as of December 2024.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

As an IT services firm, the primary 'raw material' is human capital (skilled software engineers), which accounts for the bulk of operating costs. Other significant costs include RSU-based compensation (INR 7.1 Cr in Q3 2025) and SG&A expenses (INR 92.8 Cr in Q3 2025).

Import Sources

Not applicable as the company provides IT services; however, talent is primarily sourced from India (Pune, Noida) and through international subsidiaries in the US and Europe.

Key Suppliers

Not applicable for IT services; primary vendors include technology platform providers (Cloud/AI) and office infrastructure providers.

Capacity Expansion

Current capacity is measured by headcount and utilization. Utilization improved from 76.8% in Q2 2023 to 82.6% in Q2 2025. Expansion is focused on new office spaces in Pune to support growth in data, AI, and cloud verticals.

Raw Material Costs

Employee-related expenses are the largest cost component. RSU expenses under the management incentive plan increased to INR 7.1 Cr in Q3 2025 from INR 4.9 Cr in the previous quarter, impacting net EBITDA by approximately 1.4%.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Efficiency is driven by utilization rates, which reached 82.6% in Q2 2025. The company targets a steady-state utilization of 80-82% to balance billability with the need for a 'bench' for new projects.

Logistics & Distribution

Not applicable for IT services.

Organic growth is fueled by a 90% repeat business rate and a focus on larger deal sizes in the US and European markets.

Products & Services

Digital engineering services, AI and Data analytics, Cloud transformation, Product development, and IT consulting services for startups and established enterprises.

Brand Portfolio

R Systems, Novigo, Velotio, Scaleworx.

New Products/Services

Expansion into Data, AI, and Cloud-based product engineering. Recent acquisitions like Novigo are expected to contribute to scale and profitability through cross-selling to the existing 90% repeat customer base.

Market Expansion

Focus on deepening penetration in North America and Europe while leveraging Blackstone's global portfolio to access new enterprise clients.

Market Share & Ranking

Strategic Alliances

Strategic backing by Blackstone (majority shareholder) provides financial flexibility and access to reputed global clientele.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The IT sector is shifting toward AI and Cloud-first strategies. RSIL is positioning itself by investing in these technologies to move away from traditional maintenance toward high-value digital engineering, which currently sees faster growth than legacy IT services.

Competitive Landscape

Faces intense competition from both large-cap Indian IT firms (TCS, Infosys) and specialized boutique digital agencies. RSIL competes by offering agility and specialized engineering talent for smaller-to-mid-sized projects.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on niche product engineering expertise and deep relationships with startups (90% repeat business). Sustainability is enhanced by Blackstone's ownership, providing a 'parentage' advantage for large deal wins.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to US and European GDP growth and inflation. Easing inflation in the West is expected to pick up IT spending in CY2025.

Consumer Behavior

Enterprise customers are shifting from discretionary 'experimental' spending to ROI-driven digital transformation, favoring providers with proven AI and Cloud integration capabilities.

Geopolitical Risks

Susceptible to policy changes in the US and Europe, including potential trade barriers or restrictive immigration policies that could impact the offshore-onsite delivery model.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Subject to data privacy laws (GDPR in Europe) and immigration/visa regulations in the US. Compliance is critical as data breaches could lead to significant fines and reputational damage.

Environmental Compliance

Direct exposure to environmental risk is low due to the service-oriented nature of the business.

Taxation Policy Impact

The company reports adjusted net profit before share-based payment expenses. Effective tax rates are subject to standard Indian and international corporate tax laws.

Legal Contingencies

Non-recurring legal expenses of INR 1.6 Cr were recorded in Q3 2025 for the Novigo acquisition. No major pending litigation values in High Court or Supreme Court were disclosed in the provided documents.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Macroeconomic headwinds in the US could lead to a 5-8% slowdown in revenue growth. Emerging uncertainties in key markets remain the primary risk to the CY2025 outlook.

Geographic Concentration Risk

83% of revenue is concentrated in the US and Europe, creating a high dependency on the economic health of these two regions.

Third Party Dependencies

Low supplier dependency; however, there is a high dependency on the Blackstone ecosystem for strategic lead generation and financial backing.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Risk of falling behind in the AI race is mitigated by recent niche acquisitions (Velotio, Scaleworx) and dedicated investments in AI and Cloud talent.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Receivables quality is stable with a Billed DSO of 58 days. The company maintains a healthy liquid surplus of INR 234 Cr as of March 2025 to buffer against credit delays.
