Mahindra Satyam FY10 loss at Rs 124.6 cr
Mahindra Satyam FY-10 loss at Rs 124.6 cr, net sales at Rs 5481 cr
HYDERABAD: Mahindra Satyam on Wednesday announced its first results in nearly two years after a massive false accounting scandal that threatened its future. FY-10 total sales stood at Rs 5481 crore. The company suffered a loss of Rs 124.6 cr. FY-10 standalone loss stood at Rs 71.2 cr. The company said that the total impact on P&L on account of fictitious profit was Rs 6800 crore. FY-09 loss was at Rs 8177 cr. The company said it will release Q1, Q2 FY 11 accounts as well. Accounts under US GAAP will be declared in the next 6-8 months.
Mahindra Satyam called the publication of the earnings "a new beginning" for the troubled company. Chairman Vineet Nayyar refuted allegations that Mahindra Satyam had been less transparent in the entire process, he cited the sheer volume of audit & reconciliation work that had to be done.
"We have done a lot of work but have we completely recovered, no. It will take another year or two before it is healthy. We are getting new clients. This year EBITDA has gone up. This also includes lots of clients who left the company but their work was nearing end," he added.
Helped by a sharp reduction in employee cost at Rs 3,981.10 crore in 2009-10 from Rs 6,073.7 crore in the previous year, the company reduced the net consolidated loss from Rs 8,176.8 crore in 2008-09. Cash and bank balances were to the tune of Rs 2,176.8 crore as on March 31, 2010. The loan balance as of March 31, 2010 was Rs 422 crore.
The company reported that 7500 inflated invoices were found. "Over $41mn of ADS proceeds may have been diverted and there was Rs 1139 cr of unexplained difference in suspense account," Nayyar added. Amongst the other disclosures, the company said that it had detected fictitious sales of Rs 4800 crore. FY10 exceptional items stood at Rs 410 crore.
Answering questions, the company management said that all bank borrowings had been extinguished. Mahindra Satyam now has 350 active clients and it added 44 new clients in 2010. Clients have been added in BFSI, manufacturing & healthcare. It also said that it was moving in the right direction in right sizing. However, it also said that it proposes to hire 3000 more people this year.
Company officials said that the intention to merge with Tech Mahindra remains and that the process could take up to one year. The process is expected to begin by November of this year.
On the class action suit, the company said the case was in preliminary stages and that it could take up to 2-3 years. The company will consider relisting on the NYSE in six months. It ruled out any out-of-court settlement.
Over past two years, as Satyam struggled to retain customers, and key employees, the company saw its larger rivals widen the gap-both in terms of new technology investments and new business. The company’s flagship SAP practice, which was serving top customers including GE, GM and Nestle has been among the most hit. From around 4,500 staff in January 2009, the business now has around 800 professionals, with most top executives including the unit head Manish Mehta quitting to join rival Patni.
Investors have been waiting for signs of recovery, particularly after the firm said last week it would delist from the New York Stock Exchange over fears it may not meet US reporting deadlines for its restated accounts.
In January 2009, B Ramalinga Raju, the then founder-promoter of Satyam, confessed to an accounting fraud to inflate its profits. Since then the company had not declared its results. In its last available full-year report, the company had reported a net profit of Rs 1,689 crore on revenue of Rs 8,473 crore for FY08.
In April 2009, Tech Mahindra, a unit of the tractors-to-holidays conglomerate Mahindra and Mahindra, paid nearly 600 million dollars for a majority share of struggling Satyam.
Satyam, ranked as India's fourth-largest outsourcer by revenue when the scandal broke, acts as a back office for some of the world's biggest companies including Nestle, General Electric and General Motors.

Markets could correct in October-November: Ma...
Marc Faber, Publisher, Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, spoke to ET Now on a range of issues including the current market scenario, emerging markets, Fed’s policies and US bond markets, among others. Excerpts:
You are known as Mr Contrarian in India. You always like to advise the reverse of what the global consensus is. The current global consensus is ‘buy emerging markets and sell US bonds’. What is your take?
That’s correct and there in general, I am still positive about economic growth in the emerging world. But what disturbs me at the present time is that in late August, sentiment was very negative worldwide and people said that Dow will drop to 1000 and so forth and so on. Suddenly now, the consensus is that you have to be in equities, you have to be in gold, you have to be in assets because central banks around the world will print money. That is correct, they will print money. But sentiment has become so universally bullish that about all assets, including especially emerging economies - in US dollar terms - are up. The Indian market this year is already up 19%, Malaysia 28%, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand each over 40%.
We already have big moves and I see all the brokers upgrading the earnings estimates and so forth. So I become a little bit apprehensive about this universal bullishness. I would rather think that after a strong month of September - when everybody was expecting September to be a horrible month - October and November may be bad months. In the past, October has frequently been a disastrous month like we had the October 1987 crash, we had the late September-early October 1929 crisis. In 1976 and 1978, we had very bad months in October and November. So who knows, out of this present bullishness, we could have some kind of a sharp correction developing.
Which markets are you particularly bullish on now and considering the fact that India is already quoting at high valuations, where does India stack up in your list?
In general, investors should one day have approximately 50% or more of their money in emerging economies. I have all my money in emerging economies for the money that they allocate to real estate and to equities. Of course I also have bonds in the developed world and also cash in on the developed world, but in general, I am very optimistic about the emerging economies. But that does not change the fact that over the last few months, in fact since April because I saw that April would be a high for the S&P at 1219, I have taken some money off the table because a correction is overdue.

Market and Stock view from ET
Sensex picks up new stars; RIL, Bharti make way for ICICI, Infosys
stocks|sensex|reliance industries ltd.|investors|icici bank ltd.
MUMBAI: The stock market has a different story to tell this time around, as the 30-share Sensex approaches the psychological 20000-mark, last seen in January 2008. Yesterday’s flag bearers have been unceremoniously dethroned, as investors have chosen a new set of stars to ride the boom in the domestic economy.
ET compared the two rallies when the Sensex rose from 10,000 to 20,000, the first one between June ’06-January ’08 and the second one between April ’09-September ’10. The comparison showed how the previous rally’s movers and shakers have now fallen out of favour with investors, resulting in a sharp decrease in their contribution to the index in terms of points.
Each stock’s contribution to the rise or fall in the index is based on its weightage in that index, and is directly proportional to its free-float, non-promoter holding, market capitalisation. Free-float implies that portion of equity is available for trading in the stock market.
RIL topped the list of biggest contributors to the Sensex in most of the big rallies that happened in the past. The country’s most-valued company added as much as 1,734 points during the 10,000-point rally in the Sensex between 2006 and 2008. The current year’s rally, however, has seen the stock underperform most of its peers in other prominent sectors, particularly banking and IT, because of which it now figures much lower in the eighth position with 439 points.
RIL has been displaced by private sector banking giant ICICI Bank which now top

Today's Bets: Nifty may touch 6000 level
Bull's Eye: RIL, Larsen & Toubro, LIC Housing Finance, HDIL
