Venkatraman Narayanan, MD & CFO, said, “The quarter was eventful, and our results for the same include that of our two acquisitions: of PureSoftware and Aureus. The former’s results have been consolidated from May 22, and that of the latter from May 24th. Our revenues in constant currency grew year over year by 17.8% while EBITDA grew by 13.3%.Variation in PBT and PAT are primarily on account of non-recurring expenses in the current quarter versus a large exceptional write-back in the previous, and increased amortization and financing costs arising from acquisitions.”
Joseph Anantharaju, Executive Vice Chairman, said, “Our sustained growth reflects our resilience and agility to adapt to market conditions quickly. We remain laser-focused on our client’s needs and are set to leverage our Industry Groups and recent acquisitions to deliver on our client’s strategic imperatives. The newly created Generative AI Business Services (GBS) is also helping us create transformative solutions that are helping customers to further extend their digital journeys.”
