“This expansion of margins was after absorbing the investments we made in our people by way of salary increases, promotions and long-term incentives for our senior leadership,” said Jatin Dalal, Chief Financial Officer, Wipro. “Margin growth was led by strong operational improvements and automation-led efficiencies.”
Dalal also highlighted that the company generated “strong” operating cash flows at 143 percent of its net income for the quarter and its EPS increased by 14.6 percent quarter-over-quarter.

Revenue for the IT services segment for the December quarter stood at $2.80 billion, seeing a sequential growth of 0.6%, in constant currency terms.
The company’s total order bookings for the quarter rose 26% from a year ago on a constant currency basis to $4.3 billion.
Results from larger peers have been mixed. Top player Tata Consultancy Services missed profit estimates, while Infosys and HCLTech beat forecasts. All the companies that reported so far, however, pointed to a strong order pipeline.
On Wipro’s financial performance, Veer Trivedi, Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities said, “Wipro reported slightly disappointing results when it comes to its top line. The company’s QoQ revenue growth at 3.1% was a little subdued.
Further, the revenue growth guidance for Q4 in constant currency (CC) terms is seen at -0.6% to 1% QoQ. On a full-year basis, it will likely underperform its peers. Top-line aside, the company did put a good show in its operating metrics, the margins improved 120 basis points QoQ and are expected to improve further too.
The deal wins like its other leading peers were strong. Thus all-in-all, a slight miss on the top line & a good show on its margins and profitability.”
