The acquisition of Akibia in November 2010 makes Zensar among the leaders in infrastructure management amongst IT midcaps. Zensar has also reorganised its business along focus verticals, which will allow it to cross-sell its service capabilities and mine clients better. We believe Zensar now has a robust business model. Besides, it has a better financial record than most IT midcaps, including some fancied more by the market. It has stronger margins, better capital efficiency, and makes free cash flows more regularly than most IT midcaps. We believe Zensar can rerate toward higher end of peer group valuations, offering strong returns over a two year period. A free cash flow generating company Zensar generated free cash of over Rs 2 bn over FY8-10. This allowed it do its largest acquisition yet, a $66mn (around Rs 3 bn) all cash deal to acquire an IM company in FY11. With robust operating cash flow going forward, Zensar will have ammo for further strategic acquisitions over FY11-13. Growth better than peer averages Zensar holds its ground against peers in growth rates delivered in revenues, EBITDA and net profit over FY08-11. Its revenues grew 12% over FY08-11, compared to a peer average of 7.4%. PAT has grown at 25% versus 17% for peers. Growth drivers in place for FY11-13 Zensar made a significant acquisition in FY11, that of Akibia, an IM company. This will add over Rs 3.5 bn to the FY12 topline. More importantly, there is strong opportunity to cross-sell between existing Akibia and Zensar clients. Zensar is also creating focussed verticals, a move which will help it mine its clients better, and compete better against peers. At current price, Zensar quotes at 4.2x FY11 and around 2.8x FY13e earnings, below midcap averages. We rate Zensar at 5.2x expected FY13 earnings, giving a likely price of Rs 230 by March 2013. This implies a return of 80% absolute, or about 50% annualised upside from current levels. Dividend yield is 2.8% on FY11 DPS (despite a 1:1 bonus in FY11); this could rise to 4% by FY13.

2. Company Report: Zensar Technologies 23 Aug11 Investment Rationale Came out of FY11 positioned for growth Akibia acquisition a strong growth driver Zensars acquisition strategy is focussed on plugging gaps in its service offerings, designed to give global heft to critical parts of its business. For example, the Thought Digital acquisition catapulted Zensar among the top Oracle shops in India, and added considerable gap over its midcap peers.Akibia a The Akibia deal is a similar transformatory acquisition, positioning Zensartransformatory strongly in the infrastructure management (IM) space. Akibia had a topline ofdeal $108mn at the time of its acquisition, around 40% of Zensars FY11 turnover. With this, Zensar is now amongst top ten players in IM space in India. Akibia revenues reflected only in Q4 of FY11, so there will be significant topline impact in FY12. Akibia will add over Rs 3.5 bn to FY12 topline, playing a key role in projected 43% revenue growth for FY12.IM is among theMore importantly, Akibia has strong pedigree in the IM space, which is one offastest growing IT the fastest growing IT segments. This can lift overall growth rates for Zensar.segmentAlso, Akibia presents significant cross sell opportunities. Several verticals within Zensar see opportunity for increment growth coming from cross selling opportunities. The cross sell opportunity could an incremental 5-10% growth to Zensar over next couple of years. Verticalisation will help in better client relationships The other significant change at Zensar is creation of a few focussed verticals, and stated organisation drive to run the business around vertical-driven sales process. Done well, this may have significant benefits. It will allow Zensar to mine its own client base better. For example, earlier an insurance sales lead may notVerticalisation will have had incentive to push say an IM solution. Now, with a top-downallow better clientapproach to serving clients, the mantra would be to provide holistic solutions,mining incorporating various parts of the service offerings. Verticalisation will also allow better solution selling abilities. IT clients have now matured, they now want IT companies which can talk business rather than mere coding. With clients now beginning to expect and appreciate higher level sales, this is a move in the right direction. Large IT has already begun to move to verticalisation, we believe midcap IT companies which are fast off the block on this trend will gain as well.Four-S Research2 3. Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11 Market ignoring strengths in the businessNot a me-me-too in Zensars valuations seem to suggest that the market thinks its businesseverything it does portfolio is inferior to most IT midcaps. The market seems to be unwilling to give value to several strengths Zensar has built in recent years. Oracle PracticeAmong the leadingZensar is among the key players in India in Oracle delivery. It has more thanOracle shops in1,200 associates dedicated to this practice.India, ahead ofHaving executed over 500 projects, Zensars expertise extends over Oracle E-midcap peers Business Suite, Business Intelligence, Hyperion, Demantra, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Databases, Shared Services and Oracle Retail. It is a Platinum partner of Oracle. Only Infosys is a Diamond partner, a higher category. In the Oracle practice, Zensar is at par or better than any other midcap IT company, and even capable of competing with the IT majors in some cases IM PracticeAkibia puts Zensar The Akibia acquisition was meant to be transformatory for Zensars IMamong the best IMpractice. With this acquisition, Zensar would count as among the leaders inshopsthe IM space amongst midcap IT. Ability to handle large clientsZensar has A large customer relationship is both a positive and a risk. The positive partsuccessfully is certainly the demonstrated ability to deal with a large relationship. Cisco ishandled Ciscoa more than $100mn account for Zensar. While in the last few months therelationship size of business from Cisco has dipped, as Cisco is going through an internal restructuring, Zensars ability to deliver here is certain a positive stamp for the company. Zensar now has another large relationship with Assurant, an insurance client. Strong on processWorld classZensar is the worlds first enterprise-wide SEI CMM Level 5 Company. Thisprocessesshows the companys focus on rigorous processes. Some of that is also visible in its financial processes, discussed below. Better quality of financials Zensar has done much better in cash flows compared to peers We believe if the market is hugely concerned about viability and growth potential of the midcap IT segment, the first thing investors should check is the cash flow statement. If investors gave due attention to the cash flows, we believe some of the company valuations would look different from what they are now.Four-S Research3 4.

This means they are still buyers of growth. 3i has done dozens offlow focus acquisitions, Rolta seems to run a huge capex. What the table above tells us is that unless Zensar does a sizeable acquisition (which it did in FY11) it will generate free cash. Judicious use of cash flow important for driving growthCash flows-M&A We believe this is a strategy which can lead to sustainable growth generatean important free cash, do a focussed acquisition to plug portfolio gaps and enhancegrowth strategygrowth rates. The trick here is to maintain a tight leash on operating cash flows, and do acquisitions judiciously.Four-S Research4 5. Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11Some peers have Simple as it sounds, this is not something all that easy to implement, if youfrittered cash away look at the peer group. Both 3i Infotech and Rolta generate large amounts ofoperating cash, yet they run hugely negative free cash. In 3is cash, it is bothaggressive fixed asset purchase and acquisitions. In Rolta, it is mainly fixedassets which more than eat up the cash flow. In 3is case, we believe there islack of discipline in acquisitions, in the other case, you have to question theneed to massive investments in fixed assets.Take another case, Infotech Enterprises, which has a market cap of more than2x Zensar. It has generated just marginally better operating cash flow asZensar over the last 5 years. In 3 of these 5 years, Zensar has done better.Infotech again has invested 50% more in fixed assets compared to Zensar.In sum, we believe Zensar is doing far better than peers in both free cash flowgeneration, and end use of cash flows.Better working capital managementThe chart below shows debtor turnover for the latest financial year. As can beseen, Zensar is comfortably above peer average, and behind only two of thepeers on this parameter. Companies like 3i and Rolta, which dont seem tovalue free cash flows, are among the lower ones on this parameter.

In the section on peer comparison below, we have further splitthat mid-cap IT space into two parts: companies getting low valuation, andthose fancied somewhat more in the market. There is a distinct difference inthe valuation of companies in the two groups.Zensar seems to be getting clubbed amongst the lesser fancied midcaps.While the better valued peer group quotes at a trailing PE of 8.65, Zensar isquoting at a PE 4.21. As we have seen above, the strong financials andstrengths in key business niches suggest there is no need for a valuation gap.Even if the gap is partially bridged, the stock offers a strong upside.Risk factorsHigher contribution from single clientZensar has high Zensar has around 31% of revenue coming from its largest client, CISCO,dependence on which it lists in its manufacturing vertical. This makes Zensar highly sensitiveCisco. This year, to performance of CISCO and its decisions regarding IT expenditure. Withbusiness from Cisco CISCO undergoing structural changes and facing budget cuts, Zensar may notcould sufferwitness major growth in this account in near future. But Zensar is nowdiversifying its business into various segments to mitigate dependence onCisco. Zensar will also get help from cross-selling to Akibia clients which willagain reduce this risk.Currency RiskWhile Zensar hasRevenues for Zensar are mostly in foreign currency, making Zensar highlymanaged currencysensitive to currency movements.

Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11 Peer Benchmarking The peer set: midcap IT companiesZensar is squarely With a market capitalisation of around Rs 5.55 bn, Zensar is a midcap ITplaced in the middle company. The table below gives key headline data for the midcap IT space. Asof the midcap IT can be seen, sales, EBITDA and PAT for Zensar place it close to the midpointuniverse by size of midcap IT universe. However, in terms of value ascribed to the business, whether via market cap or EV, Zensar falls considerably below peer averages.

In the low PE set,poor balance sheetsSubex, Infinite and 3i have D/E ratios around 2x or more. Couple of these companies have outstanding FCCBs which are unlikely to be converted into equity. These will need to be refinanced. In other words, the low PE set is getting low valuations since it is riddled with one or more issues: sub-par growth, high D/E, consequently low capital efficiency ratios. In the cases where D/E is more than 2x, there could be some minor liquidity concerns in the market. Besides issues with their P&Ls and balance sheets, we suspect the market may have issues with corporate governance levels in some of these companies. Take a company like 3i for example. This company did an IPO at a price of RsGovernance quality 100 in April 2005. In more than 6 years of trading since then, the company hasquestionable insome midcaps rarely quoted above its IPO price. It has done two dilutions at prices considerably below its IPO price. The company took a large Rs 2.8bn write- off in FY10 for discontinuing operations of the kiosk business. Yet, there has been no change in management. This is a supposedly professionally run company, yet there seems to be little accountability. In a scenario like this, no wonder valuations have slid down. The high PE midcap companiesHigh PE midcap The P&L and balance sheet ratios are starkly different for high PE midcap ITcompanies have companies.

Half ofthe high PE companies are debt free, while none have a D/E ratio more than1x.Not all is rosy and clean in this universe as well. There is stuff here whichcould make an institutional investor uncomfortable. For example, atleast acouple of the peers in this set both took large write-offs on forex derivates.So where to place Zensar: with low PE or high PE companies?The market is clubbing Zensar with low PE companies.

Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11 Zensars Business Getting a grip on Zensars business modelValuation suggestThe market discounting for Zensars business model would seem to imply thatmarket negative on it is a totally commodity business model, perennially working under severeZensars price pressure; or the business is already past the maturity phase, into whatfundamentals you may call in standard business cycle terms the decline phase. Lets first see the key points on the business model here which we think are perhaps influencing investor view on Zensar: There is no differentiator Zensars business is commodity Is this a declining business Zensars business more commodity than an average IT company? There is a lot of commodity element to Indian IT companies whether it is Zensar, or TCS of Infosys, there is no denying that. A SAP implementation project, or a legacy maintenance project, could be done equally well by a two dozen or more companies in India. While large IT companies may get the benefit of size and superior brand, midcap IT companies dont have this luxury. Product companies, like Oracle Financial Services, are an exception. Midcap IT companies realise the need to differentiate in order to create niches for themselves where they can compete effectively, and enjoy good business economics. The typical ways are: pick one or more technology service lines, or verticals or geographies to build relative advantage. Some others have tried to enter product business, sometimes by acquisition.Market seems Zensar is no different; the management is focussed on the need to buildunaware of segments of relative strength. Some areas where Zensar stands out:Zensars areas ofIts Oracle practice: Zensar has among the best practices in Oraclestrengthrelated projects in mid-cap IT. Zensar has 1,300+ people in its Oraclepractice, has completed 500+ client engagements over the last decade.Zensar had bolstered this practice in 2007, with the acquisition ofThought Digital. Strong traction in South Africa: Zensar has already built a goodpresence in South Africa. It has acquired some fairly large customersthere, for example, 3 of the top 5 insurance companies. Infrastructure Management: The acquisition of Akibia has completelyaltered Zensars position in this business. With an annual revenue rateof well over Rs 4.5bn from just this business, Zensar has a superioroffering to most midcaps in IM.Four-S Research 13 14. Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11Is it in the numbers?Zensars superior Whatever be the story, an analyst will ultimately seek evidence in themargins suggest the numbers. So, for a mid-cap IT company, what number can show somethingbusiness is betterabout how commoditised the business is?than what the EBITDA margin is one relevant number to look at. If the business has nomarket thinks differentiator, EBITDA margin should compare poorly to peers.For Zensar, as we have noted earlier, this is not the case. While there arecompanies like Sonata, Mastek and Mindtree which have EBITDA margin inthe 10-15% range, Zensar has an EBITDA margin of 13.6% in FY11. Zensarhas increased its operating margin from 12-13% levels in FY07 and FY08, toaround 18% levels in FY10 and FY11, signifying increasing value add in thebusiness mix.Is Zensars business a declining business?While organic The first step to answer this would be to look at past growth rates for thegrowth is in single sector, and the company.digits, smart Net sales have grown at a CAGR of 17% over FY07-11. While some of theacquisitions have growth has come through acquisitions, the expanding operating margins, yearsallowed doubleof positive cash flow and manageable debt show the business is enhancingdigit topline CAGRvalue.While organic growth rates have fallen into single digits currently, this is morea result of global growth slowdown.

The issue here is dowill start to midcap IT companies have a role anymore, or is it a game only for the bigdegrow. So far no boys?signs of this We believe this is the crux of the issue. The market has somewhere taken theview that midcap IT companies will not be able to compete in the future, andwithin midcap IT, Zensar is particularly exposed.But is this assertion true, and if so, how exactly will it play out?Lets see on the second part how exactly will a de-growth play out.The typical mode for degrowth would be the overall market shrinks, sosome players have to drop out.Here this is not exactly the case.

Company Report: Zensar Technologies23 Aug11 Large IT companies are trying to go up the chain, not come down the chain. They are trying to do things like: become consulting led, take over the entire IT organisation of large clients, etc. So the large IT companies are not yet competing with small IT companies for the same client. Any relevant number for this?Number of active We think the correct numbers to check this would be things like total activeclients continues to clients, and average business/client. When these numbers start showing aincrease. This isdeclining trend, then certainly fears on the future of midcap IT would rise.evidence degrowthZensar has increased its total client base from 200 at the end of FY07 to aboutfears are overblown400+ by the end of FY11. In sum numbers dont support stock market perception On both counts the commodity nature of business, or risk of degrowth we find the markets fear overblown. Zensars margins are pretty good. And the next two years it is set to grow. The risk of a new US slowdown is certainly there, but that affects the entire Indian export sector, not just Zensar, or India IT services industry. Notwithstanding the US recession threat, Zensar at the end of FY11 is actually strongly positioned for growth. In the next section, we see how. Positioned for growth with an increasing robust business modelZensar has biffedThe Zensar management implemented two big developments at the end ofup its businessFY11 which should help drive growth over FY11-13. These are:modelThe Akibia acquisition Re-structuring the business into 5 verticals Lets look at how these two drive growth and make the business model more robust. The Akibia deal a game changer In November 2010, Zensar made a big move in the rapidly expanding Infrastructure Management and Information Security segment by acquiring Akibia Inc. With a turnover in excess of $100mn, this not only adds significant turnover to Zensars topline, it will also add to Zensars addressable market and growth potential.Akibia dealWith this acquisition, Zensar will expand its potential market and growthtransforms opportunity in not only infrastructure segment but will help in providingZensars position in mission critical solution.

Akibia will help expand Zensars customer base and will provide global operational scale and opportunity to enter new geographies and market more efficiently. It added a team of 350 professionals with 2 delivery centres in US and Europe.

The manufacturing vertical is looking forward to reduce this dependency on single client by expanding non CISCO accounts to mitigate this risk.
