KPIT reports 26% rise in Q2 net profit


IT company KPIT Cummins   today reported a 26 per cent increase in its net profit at Rs 46.12 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

The company had reported a net profit of Rs 36.47 crore for the corresponding period last fiscal.

Revenue for the company rose 74.51 per cent to Rs 567.20 crore for Q2 of FY 13 as compared to Rs 325.01 crore for the same period last year.

"During this quarter we saw significant growth coming from the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region and we expect the geography to continue a healthy growth through H2," KPIT Cummins Chairman and Group CEO Ravi Pandit said in a statement.

"The global economic uncertainties have continued, resulting in delayed business decision making. However, we believe our sharp focus and investments in select verticals should keep us in good stead to achieve our annual guidance," Pandit added.

The company said it sees good traction in US while in APAC region there are better growth opportunities for its automotive and SAP offerings.

China is emerging as a key growth market, both for SAP and automotive and engineering while pace of business continues to be slow in Europe, the company added.

"On the back of a good H1 performance and a strong pipeline we maintain our annual guidance. However, we believe that lesser number of working days in Q3 FY 13 might impact revenue performance during the period," KPIT Cummins Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kishore Patil said in a conference call.

Patil said the company added four new customers during the quarter of which three are from US. The company now has over 170 clients.

During the quarter, the company acquired additional 17.5 per cent stake in Systime Global solutions for which the consideration was Rs 38.6 crore.
