Amid a challenging macroeconomic environment, Coforge Limited has emerged as a standout, with the company reporting a 40.8% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue in USD terms, reaching $397.1 million (₹3,318.2 crore). Quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) growth was equally impressive at 7.5% in USD terms, with constant currency (CC) growth pegged at 8.4%.

Coforge reported an adjusted EBITDA of ₹589 crore ($70.5 million), reflecting a YoY growth of 41.2% and a margin expansion of 122 basis points (bps) QoQ to 17.8%. Profit after tax (PAT), excluding minority interest, stood at ₹256 crore, up 9.5% QoQ. Adjusted PAT showed a 10.3% YoY increase, reaching ₹268 crore.

Coforge's order executable for the next 12 months now stands at $1.37 billion, marking a 40.1% YoY increase. The company secured four large deals during the quarter, driving a quarterly order intake of $501 million—the second consecutive quarter of a $500+ million intake. These deals spanned multiple geographies, including North America and ASEAN​.

The Americas accounted for 56% of total revenue, while EMEA contributed 34.2%. Broad-based growth was observed across verticals, with Banking and Financial Services (BFS) making up 27.5% of revenue and Travel, Transportation, and Hospitality (TTH) contributing 18.1%​​.

Operational strength and strategic expansion

Operational cash flow for Q3FY25 surged to $47 million, a staggering 211% QoQ increase, underlining enhanced efficiency in cash conversion. Headcount also saw sequential growth, with net additions of 611 employees, bringing the total workforce to 33,094—a 16% increase since the start of FY25. Attrition rates dropped to 11.9%, reflecting Coforge’s focus on employee retention​​.

The company’s strategic initiatives, including the integration of Cigniti, have borne fruit which delivered 3.5% cc QoQ growth. Cigniti’s EBITDA margin improved to 17.3% during the quarter, up from 11% in Q4FY24, showcasing operational synergies​.

“An 8.4% sequential cc growth, a 40.3% cc YoY growth in a seasonally weak quarter, four large deals in that same quarter, a concurrent and material sequential expansion of 122 bps in margins, a Cigniti business that has already touched an EBITDA margin of 17.3%, a large deals pipeline that is looking very robust and finally an ever-strengthening next twelve month signed order book which now is 40% higher YoY gives us confidence that the coming year shall once again see robust and sustained growth,” said Sudhir Singh, chief executive officer and executive director, Coforge Ltd in a press filing.

Meanwhile, the company has maintained its Microsoft Azure Expert Managed Service Provider status and secured the ISG Leader designation in Insurance Services for 2024.
