Rishi Basu

A very good evening everyone and a very happy new year. Thank you for joining Infosys' Third Quarter Financial Results. My name is Rishi and on behalf of Infosys, I would like to welcome all of you today. I typically would have said, one question per media house, should I say that?

With that, I invite our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Salil Parekh for his opening remarks. Over to you, Salil.

 

 

 

Salil Parekh

Thanks, Rishi and good afternoon to all of you. Thank you for joining us here in person, a very Happy New Year to each one of you. Our revenue grew 1.7% quarter-on-quarter and 6.1% year-on-year in constant currency terms in Q3.

All verticals and most geographies grew year-on-year. We saw double-digit growth in Europe and India and in our manufacturing business. Large deals were at $2.5 bn, operating margin at 21.3%. Free cash flow for the quarter was at an all-time high of $1.26 bn. Headcount grew by over 5,000 sequentially we are now over 323,000 employees worldwide.

Financial Services in the U.S. continues to grow strongly in this quarter and over the past few quarters. We have seen a revival in European Financial Services during Q3. We are seeing an improvement in Retail and consumer product industry in the US with discretionary pressures easing. Automotive sector in Europe continues to remain slow. In Generative AI, we have built four small language models for banking, for IT operations, for cybersecurity, and broadly for enterprises.

In Generative AI, we are also developing over 100 new agents. These agents are for deployment within our clients, many of them already using agents that we have developed. Based on our strong performance in this quarter and our view for the rest of this financial year, we are revising our revenue growth guidance to growth of 4.5%-5% in constant currency terms. Our operating margin guidance remains unchanged at 20%-22%.

With that, let us open it up for questions.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you, Salil. We will now open the floor for questions. Joining Salil is Mr. Jayesh Sanghrajka, Chief Financial Officer, Infosys. The first question is from Ritu Singh, CNBC TV18.

Ritu Singh

Hi, Salil, hi Jayesh, happy new year. Let me just start with that revenue growth that you have posted because Q3 is typically a seasonally weak quarter. The market estimates were about 1% growth, but you have been able to deliver 1.7%. Is the environment significantly better than what you saw three months ago, one, if you could give us a commentary on that.

On raising your revenue guidance to about 4.5%-5%, was in expected lines, but what is the implied growth rate for the fourth quarter then? Are you expecting a de-growth of about 2.5% given these margins that you have given?

Also, your wage hikes, I think last time we asked you and you said, it may happen in the fourth quarter. If that is on track, and what will be the impact on margins once you do undertake that and hiring again has been going up for the last two quarters. How should we read into that?

Again, coming back to your revenue question, if you are expecting a de-growth in the fourth quarter, will you continue the space of hiring? What is the demand outlook? And if I may add, you know, deal wins while they have been steady, they have not really accelerated. If you could give us a sense of what the pipeline looks like from here on? Thank you.

Salil Parekh

So, thanks. I will try and go through the questions and some Jayesh will also answer. On the first, I think the view in Q3, and it was the growth at 1.7%. What we saw was, the last quarter, we had seen discretionary becoming good in Financial Services in the US.

Now this quarter, we have seen Financial Services in Europe also, the discretionary is showing signs of improving. And on Retail and consumer products in the US, it is showing signs of improving. So that, coupled with how we delivered in the quarter was the reason where we changed the guidance to increase.

Now the second, I think, was about if that is the guidance, what is the Q4 and so on? So there, first, as we have always shared, our Q1 and Q2 in a typical financial year are strong. Our Q3, Q4 are typically weak. So that is the sort of seasonality that we see in Q4, nothing more or less. Jayesh will give a little bit more color on some of these points.

On the hiring that you mentioned there, I will say a few words and I will pass it on to Jayesh. We have had a strong hiring in Q3 with this expansion of over 5,000 employees. And we see that based on some of the discretionary, this will continue, but it will have seasonality as we see in our revenue. For the next financial year, we are obviously not giving the growth guidance.

But what we do see is that many of the things we have put in place across the whole company, focus on large deals, focused on small deals, focused on artificial intelligence, making sure, we are doing cost takeout for clients. All of these things combined are helping the company to execute as well as it is doing. So let me pause here, if there is anything else.

Ritu Singh

How much of it was organic? How much inorganic because of the in-tech acquisition that as well?

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So, in-tech, let me just answer that and I will go back to other questions. in-tech was -- last quarter, we had pretty much 2.5 months of in-tech. So, this quarter, the in-tech was roughly around 20 bps in revenue.

Coming back to the other points, if you look at large deals, while the overall large deal number you will see is remaining same, within that, the net new has increased significantly. So last quarter, our net new was 40%. This quarter, our net new is 60%, which means that the large deals per se or the net new TCV of the large deals have gone up 1.5 times between Q2 and Q3. Our large deal pipeline has become stronger as we see, so all of that has led to our increase in guidance, just to add to the points that Salil was making.

Coming to the other question on comp, we had announced earlier that comp will happen in two phases, one phase from 1st January, the other one will happen from 1st of April. We are on-track with that. The first part of the comp is getting rolled out in this quarter and we are working with HR on that. So, the HR team is working on that.

Ritu Singh

The question rather was what will be the impact on margins?

Jayesh Sanghrajka

We do not define the impact on comp, I mean, exact impact on the comp in terms of margins. So, we will have some headwinds coming from the comp in Q4 and Q1 based on it. But broadly, the comp that we are expecting is 6% to 8% in India and the overseas comps will be in line with the earlier comp reviews.

Ritu Singh

I think, Salil, the question on discretionary spends on Hi-Tech, Telecom, some of these areas that you would continue to flag in the last quarter, if the outlook on that is improving? And if the BFSI momentum you expect to continue into the new year?

Salil Parekh

So, on Hi-Tech and on Telecom, we have not seen a change. What we have seen the change is really on Financial Services more in Europe and on Retail consumer products in US, will it continue at this stage? That is what we are seeing in terms of what we saw in Q3. But we will wait and see how it looks beyond.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from NDTV Profit, Haripriya.

Haripriya Sureban

Hi, Salil. On the discretionary spending part that you mentioned, is this kind of change that you are seeing only sentimental, or do you see this translating in the upcoming budgets for the companies across the sectors that you mentioned?

And also, with the new administration coming in the US, what is the kind of impact that you are expecting from that? The market expects the stability to bring in a lot more -- budgets to open up a lot more. And also on the employee headcount, the attrition is also rising a little bit more if not gradually as well. So how do we read into that?

And on the margins, what is the kind of impact the cross-currency headwinds have had? There is a lot of movement that has happened in the currency. And also, would there be any furloughs or spillover?

And in the long term, you have had a guidance band for margin and it is there, but also it is quite narrow. And so, in the long term, how is it that you choose to improve on the margin part, given that there is also a margin project improvement that you have?

Salil Parekh

So let me start off with some of them. The first one was on the discretionary. The budgets for our clients will be on a calendar year basis, which will start now. So, we will get a sense in this quarter itself. Our commentary is mainly on what we have seen in Q3 and how the discussions have been going and that seems to indicate the changes that I mentioned.

In terms of the new changes in the US, we will wait and see how it goes. Generally speaking, most people who are the economists and so on have a view that the economy there will do better. That is what our clients are saying, but we will wait and see how it goes. We have a business that works in those growth situations, in the cost situations. So, we are feeling quite confident in terms of the outlook there.

Haripriya Sureban

So, what is the dependency on the H1B visas? Do you see any impact there?

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. I can answer that. So, if you look at over the years, our dependence on H1B visas have reduced significantly. First and foremost, our onsite mix has reduced significantly. We used to be in the 30% rate, but now we are at 24% rate. Within that, our nearshore has increased significantly.

And within the US onsite population that we have, our H1 independent folks are now 60 plus percent. We have now built a pretty resilient model from that perspective. And we are therefore much more confident from where we are versus where we used to be earlier.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. So, coming back to your other questions – attrition at this point in time has remained at 13.7%, which is one of the lower attritions that we have seen in the last multiple years. It is range-bound and we do not see a challenge there at this point in time. We have already added -- last two quarters, we have added net new employees. And our campus hiring program is also as per our plan. So, we do not really see a challenge there as well.

You had another question on margins. So, if you look at our margins this quarter, we have expanded our margins by 20 basis points during the quarter. And if I just take the puts-and-takes of that, 40 basis points came from currency benefit, both rupee depreciation as well as the cross-currencies. 30 basis points came from a maximus, mainly from the pricing benefit that we got, 20 basis points came from the expected credit loss provisions and lower provisions on post sale customer support, offset partly by higher third-party costs that we had. And the headwind of 70 basis points was furloughs and lower working days and other costs. So that is our margin walk for the quarter.

As we get into the next quarter, we will have headwinds coming from the compensation increase that we have rolled out already. So that would be a headwind. Currency, we will have to see how it pans out at this point in time. Looks like currency will give us some benefit in terms of margin, but we will have to see how the currency progresses through the quarter.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from The Economic Times, Beena.

Beena Parmar

Hi. I want to question on the hiring commitment. I think you had committed to 15,000 to 20,000 freshers, is that on track and how much have you hired so far under that? And what is the outlook for the next fiscal? And if you can just give us maybe this calendar year as well, what is the sort of hiring that you are looking at, both freshers and overall hiring?

On the deal momentum, if you could just give us a sense, which sectors are likely to grow in the next two quarters, while financial services is seeing a lot of pickup, could you delve into the other segments as well?

And with the deal cycle closing, a lot of other peers have said that - that is sort of shortening, if you could also give us some sense on how the cycle has been? And how is the large and mega deal pipeline going forward for the next near term, maybe next two quarters?

And the last thing, what sort of impact do you see because of the recent lawsuit that has been made public in one of your court filings, what is the business impact because of that lawsuit? And could you give us some color on the charges because I think some of it is very serious? So that’s it.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Okay. So, if you look at the headcount, we are on-track in terms of headcount or the fresher hiring this year, we will be hiring 15,000 plus. We are expecting for FY26, at this point-in-time, 20,000 plus fresher hiring. We do not really give our outlook in terms of the lateral hiring, that is dependent on multiple factors, how the demand grows, how the attrition pans out, etc., etc. And it is also a factor that over the years, we have now moved to a very agile hiring model. So, we can pretty much fill this in India in two to three months, onsite in less than a month in terms of the demand. So, we do not really therefore, give out an overview or outlook in terms of the lateral hiring. But in terms of freshers, 15,000 plus for this year and 20,000 next year is what we are looking at this point.

Salil Parekh

In terms of the industry and the next few quarters, as you mentioned, we do not give industry-specific views which are forward. We have that overall guidance, which we have increased. We have given a view more on what we have seen in Q3, and we think that is something that is a good sign because Financial Services, which was strong in the US, is now strong,the discretionary has come back in Europe and with the Retail and consumer products expanding.

Beyond that, Manufacturing still remains slow, and the other industries are at the same place where they were. So that is the way we are looking at it. But incrementally, we see that it is a better situation in Q3 than what we saw in Q2.

In terms of the large deals and the pipeline, our pipeline is strong. We typically do not give the value of it, but it is a strong pipeline with large deals and some mega deals. These are deals we feel good about, given the way that some of the conversions have happened. In terms of the timeline of the closure -- the deal timeline, we have seen essentially similar situation from what we saw in Q2. That is where we are, except, which is not just on the large deals, it is on the discretionary, where in those few industries that I mentioned, the discretionary moves a little bit faster. But the large deal movement is about the same in the pipeline. And in terms of any of the legal things, we have no additional comments here.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from the Times of India, Veena.

Veena Mani

Good evening, gentlemen, and happy new year. So, your contribution from the top five clients has dropped to 12.7 from 13.4 a year back and compared to the previous quarter 13.7. What are the reasons for that?

So, the street has been expecting a more nuanced metric for a call out on the gen AI business. So, what would those metrics be for Infosys?

And also, there is a term in the industry called AI washing, where people generally, you use AI to the bare minimum and then give it an AI tag, is that happening? And can you tell me a little bit about that?

And also, is the headcount growth, the same pace going to continue with Generative AI being one of the main things being talked about in the industry? Also, one clarification, you mentioned 6% to 8% in India. So that is the quantum of hike or is that…

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Quantum of hike.

Veena Parmar

That is the quantum of hike. Sure.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. So, if you look at the contribution from the top five clients, many of them had furloughs this quarter. And this is typically the seasonal quarter from a furlough perspective that has impacted the contribution from the top clients.

Salil Parekh

So, on Generative AI, I think you mentioned AI washing. So, I am not aware of that within Infosys, but you may be aware of that outside with some other companies. We are very clear on what we are doing on Generative AI. The small language model, just as an example, so today we have several discussions with clients, where they would like to use the small language models that we have built.

So how are they built? They are built by using the proprietary data that we have, let us say on banking or on IT operations. It then uses some very standard industry or in this case, a horizontal data. And then the client builds their own into that small language model.

Some clients are asking us to, for them to build a small language model of their own. So, for example, with a telco client, they want to build their own. Let us say company X telco, their own small language model, which we are helping them because we have the platform for it. And this is real Generative AI work that we are doing.

Then you look at agents. So to give you some example, we have built for a client -- this is actual work, not just like a proof of concept where we have built a research agent for a client, a large tech company, where they are now using that in their product area to support how queries are looked at and where their own people and their own customers can look at this, use this agent. And some of the statistics are quite impressive from going from something like 18 days of time to do things to 8 days of time to do things.

So, these are real examples. We see real benefits with clients. Another example of an agent, we built an agent for audit work for a professional services company. There are 3 different agents. They are now helping that company to more efficiently and with fewer errors do what they are doing in their audit activity.

So, the work we are doing in Generative AI, we feel, is leading in the industry. We are very clear in how it is being used across, because these are real projects with clients. Almost every discussion with clients has some element of it. So let us say the overall work is large, but there is always some element of Generative AI in that discussion that we are involved in.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from Moneycontrol, Reshab.

Reshab Shaw

Thanks, Rishi. Happy new year, gentlemen, a couple of questions there. So, first of all, on the deal cycles, you highlighted that the North American market is already better but even Europe is getting better. So, on that front, are you seeing these cycles getting shorter and shorter?

Second, on your trainees, the Mysore campus cases now. I think the Forest Department has said the leopard has not been spotted. So, when are trainees going to be back on the campus? I hear that they will be back by 25th or 26th.

Also, Bhupendra, a person who went out on LinkedIn and said a lot of things on the work culture, so what are your views on that?

Salil Parekh

So, first on the deal cycle, so where we have seen for example, the discretionary work coming back, where we talked about Financial Services or Retail in the specific geographies. There, for the discretionary work, things move relatively quickly. But the overall deal cycle, if you look at large deals has remained about the same.

In terms of our Mysore campus, with the sighting of the leopard, we engaged with the Karnataka Forest Department now and made sure that the safety of our employees, and also to make sure there was no harm to the leopard, we have taken all the appropriate steps. In fact, all the employees, we moved them outside the campus.

As of today, the Karnataka Forest Department has had a view where there has been no sighting or signs or whatever indications of the leopard for several days. And now we are in the process of looking at what the next steps will be.

In terms of the employee question that you mentioned, within Infosys, we have a very clear approach to make sure that everyone is treated fairly. We have a well-defined process of looking at how the performance is driven. We have equal opportunity in making sure that everyone gets the benefits of that. And we hold ourselves to this high standard.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you.

Reshab Shaw

When will the trainees be back?

Salil Parekh

So, we are now in the process of looking at that update and putting together the next steps for that.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thanks, Reshab. The next question is from Reuters News, Hritam.

Hritam Mukherjee

Hi, gentlemen. Congratulations on a good set of numbers. Sir, I wanted to know what is the latest update on the McCamish Cybersecurity incident? We had a couple of banks coming up saying that they were impacted. If you can give us some color on what is the latest and if there is any estimated impact on top line from that?

And secondly, Mr. Parekh, you gave some comments about the U.S. economy. But I want to ask you if you are feeling particularly confident about Trump's return to Presidency and now that his inauguration is a few weeks away, how do you look at US economy now that Trump is back? That’s all.

Salil Parekh

So, on the first point, we have made several disclosures on that in the past which hold. In addition, the eDiscovery process for that is complete. Recently in December there were six different class action suits that were filed. The court has decided at the end of December to club or join all of them and allow for what is called a mediation process and that is the step that is underway today.

In terms of the US, I think the US market, or the economy has done incredibly well in the past few quarters with the way it has been managed post the COVID situation. And everything we see in terms of what the outlook is especially with what we saw on the inflation and the interest rates, that gives us a view that the US will remain a very good and strong market for us.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from Mint, Jas.

Jas Bardia

Good evening. Three questions. If you can just throw a little more light on whether you are seeing deal tenures get shortened. Does this imply that every year you are seeing more deal renewals come up than say in the last 36 months? Then if I look at the sequential figures, the client contribution not just to the top 5, but also to the top 10 and top 25 clients from the top of those clients have been coming down, if you can help me explain that?

And third, are you seeing any sort of a pricing pressure in your conversations with clients going forward? If yes, which businesses are most affected?

Salil Parekh

Let me start with the first one, Jayesh will have some points on the second and the third. On the deal cycles, we do not see a change from Q2 to Q3 as we have seen the market in what we are seeing on the large deals. We do see because the discretionary is slightly better on Financial Services or Retail in different geographies. Those are typically deals which get done a little bit quicker, but if you take the appropriate deals for them, it is remaining the same in that.

Jayesh will handle the other two. I just want to say one thing on pricing. We have some very strong positive momentum in pricing, but Jayesh will share the details.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

 

Yes, if you look at our margin expansion program, one of the tracks there is value-based selling and that is pricing in a way and that has delivered great results. The nine months over nine months pricing has improved by 3.6%. That is one which has helped us expand margins. If you look at our margin expansion, nine months over nine months has expanded by 30 basis points.

Despite the fact that we had multiple headwinds, headwinds coming from the comp increase that we did last year in November, so full year impact came this year. We had furloughs this quarter. We had impact of increased third-party costs. We had impact coming from an acquisition that we did on account of the amortization of intangibles. So, we have subsumed all of that and despite that, we have been able to increase our margins. One of the reasons is the pricing benefit that we got.

Coming to the next question, you asked about the reduction in revenues in multiple brackets. I think it is the same answer. The furloughs do impact clients across multiple brackets and the clients in top 5 clients do reflect in top 10 and top 20. So that is the main reason of the reduction there.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from the Hindu BusinessLine, Sanjana.

Sanjana B

Hello, gentlemen. So, I just wanted to understand what the demand trends are in key verticals like BFSI, Retail, Manufacturing because analysts had estimated that for Q3, BFSI will aid growth while weakness in Manufacturing will weigh on this growth. But this is the opposite for you, where Manufacturing has done better than BFSI. So just wanted to understand how these dynamics played out?

And also, in a previous conversation with the company, I learned that Infosys Cloud arm Cobalt enjoys better margins than your conventional services. But with a lot of focus on AI, I just wanted to understand, do you think Topaz will sort of -- the margins of Topaz will outpace this growth?

And another question, in Q2, you had mentioned that you had a double-digit growth in deals below $50 mn. So, do you see existing and incoming clients shifting their preferences towards smaller deals? Thank you.

Salil Parekh

I will take the second and the third then maybe Jayesh will go on the first one. On the margins, you know for cloud or other things within the company, we typically do not share that externally. So, we have no real view on that. However, the way Jayesh shared a little bit of that, we have a program where we look at margins across the company in different components.

So, all of those things are helping us to make sure that the margin appropriately is growing. And we have an ambition in the long term of having better and better margins. So that is something that we look at, but we do not have this sort of external sharing of the cloud and so on.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So, if you look at industries, within industries, our Financial Services has continued to grow stronger, especially the US Financial Services. We are seeing revived interest in the European Financial Services. In Retail we are seeing, again, better predictability in terms of US retail, especially the Retail and CPG on back of the better holiday seasons and better client sentiment. So those are the positives that we are seeing.

Manufacturing, while it has delivered double-digit growth, we still continue to see softness in Europe manufacturing, and that continues. Hi-Tech continues to remain soft for us. Communication, similar commentary, we are not seeing any challenge from that perspective.

Coming to geographies, the US has shown positive, year-on-year, grown positive year-on-year after four quarters of decline. Europe, as Salil said earlier, we have now had a double-digit, strong double-digit growth on back of multiple large deals. So overall, we do see those changes in the environment.

The question on smaller TCVs. So overall, smaller deals, the deal pipeline has continued to remain stable. The large deal pipelines have grown, as Salil said earlier. So overall, deal pipelines have become stronger between Q2 and Q3.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from Fortune India, Rukmini.

Rukmini Rao

Thank you. Salil, I have three questions. One, if we are to look at the corresponding quarter two fiscals ago, December 31st, 2022, if we are to look at the rate of growth of number of clients in the 1 mn bucket and the 50 mn bucket, it has been the fastest, about 85 and 10 odd clients. How do we read this -- are deals coming only in this kind of bucket now? And the $10 plus mn are the kind of deals that would have come are no longer there or there are fewer in the market itself.

And also, your days of outstanding sale on December 31st, 2022 was about 68 days, which is now up to 74 days, now six days of, I mean, and given that you have an improved cash flow now? Is it a lot of collections that have happened and that is reflecting in the free cash flow?

And third is, given that you have such excellent free cash flow, would it make you guys a lot more adventurous, look for bigger acquisitions, perhaps? Thank you.

Salil Parekh

I will take the first and the third and DSO Jayesh will look at. So, on the buckets of clients, I think the way you looked at it, so we have a strong focus on making sure that all the different levels of clients we expand and some of that is what you are seeing in the data that you referenced. Now, the deal size is a slightly different parameter because the deal size will be like in a specific client, which will be over multiple years. So, part of it will get reflected into one specific year or a quarter or so on.

So, the deal size, as Jayesh was sharing, there is, and even we shared last quarter, we saw a good increase in that smaller deal size, not the large deal only. And then this quarter, as Jayesh shared, we have seen also the larger deal pipeline becoming bigger. So, that is one huge positive that we are seeing in the change of the pipeline in the deal size.

And the earlier point was on the size of our clients. We want to make sure that at all levels, we have an approach that builds up the client because today when a client trusts us with X mn, tomorrow it could be 3x or 5x and that is something that grows year-over-year. And that is part of something we have done internally, which is being reflected from the outside and the numbers.

So, typically there is a progression over time that happens. And part of some of the activities we do inside is to make sure that we share with our clients what other services we have that takes clients from that level to a different level once they become comfortable with it. Now, on the point on having so much cash and being adventurous, I think it is highly unlikely that we all be adventurous.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. Coming to the DSOs and the cash flow question, if you look at this quarter, we had -- as Salil said earlier, we had one of the highest cash generation, right? And that is on back of the multiple intervention that we have been doing for the last multiple quarters. We have had a razor sharp focus on cash conversion. Our unbilled and unearned has come down significantly in this quarter. Our unbilled minus unearned has come down by $300 mn.

So, typically that first converts into AR and then converts into cash. So, while you see, you know, an AR increase, if you look at AR, net of unbilled and unearned has come down by six days. And that has reflected in our cash flow. Of course, we also had a tax refund, which has helped our cash flow in the nine months. But even after that, adjusted for tax refund, our cash flow for the nine month period has gone up by 50% on a nine month over similar nine months last year.

Rukmini Rao

Will the DSO days get reduced

Jayesh Sanghrajka

As we collect, start collect, that is the endeavor.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you, Rukmini. The next question is from the Financial Express, Padmini.

Padmini Dhruvaraj

Hi. So, was your revenue contribution from the rest of the world and 10 mn to 20 mn category customer affected due to dollar appreciation? And so, where is the India growth coming from and why is the rest of the world declining? And are you seeing any challenges in contract renewals with clients seeking expanded project scopes at same price and/or same scopes at reduced values? And is there lumpiness in megadeals because of AI’s fast evolution? And your nine-month margin average is already above 21%. So, is there a particular reason for retaining the guidance?

Salil Parekh

Let me start with some of them first, you can come back to Jayesh. The question around what we do with the margin guidance, I think we will keep the same margin guidance, which is 20 to 22. We are not changing the margin guidance, even as you mentioned, with the nine month outlook. So, what was the one before that?

Rishi Basu

Dollar appreciation.

Salil Parekh

Yes, rest of the world you can do that.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

I will answer that. So, if you look at the rest of the world, the reason of decline in the rest of the world was because we had some one time in the -- last year same quarter, which was the third-party related cost and therefore the revenue that we got out of that. So, that has helped those quarters. Underlying growth has still remained strong for us and we do not see any challenge coming from there.

Padmini Dhruvaraj

Where is the India growth coming from?

Jayesh Sanghrajka

India is a very small segment for us. So, any small change there will show large in percentage terms, but it is a very small segment for us. So, these projects will have some spikes and bottoms with depending on seasonality on those projects.

Padmini Dhruvaraj

(Editor’s comment – audio unclear)

Jayesh Sanghrajka

As I said earlier -- the client segmentation is mainly impacted by furloughs in this quarter.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

Thank you. The next question is from the Deccan Herald, Sonal.

Sonal Choudhary

Hello gentlemen, congratulations on the result. A few questions here. One of your peers had highlighted that CY'25 will be a better year. How are you looking at it? Also, how have third party or pass through revenues been this quarter? Thirdly, also on the median salary package, if you could shed some light on that, has it increased for freshers? How has it been?

Salil Parekh

So, on the first one, we give our guidance for the financial year. And we have increased our guidance for this financial year even with one quarter outstanding. We do not have a view beyond that, but what we are seeing is a clear change in the discretionary activities in Financial Services, in Retail, and consumer products.

So, it gives us a good confidence that overall we are executing very well within the company and clients are seeing tremendous traction with us. So, we feel that as a positive thing, but we do not have a view which is going beyond this financial year.

Jayesh Sanghrajka

And third-party cost has gone up. This is a seasonal quarter again, where the third-party cost of the percentage of revenue goes up. It is gone up in line of that.

Sonal Choudhary

And also on the median salary package?

Salil Parekh

So on that, we have no change to announce at this stage, no comment on that.

 

 

 

Rishi Basu

I would now like to pass on the call to Salil.

 

 

Salil Parekh

Thanks, Sandeep. Good morning and good evening to all of you. Wish you a Happy New Year. Thank you all for joining us on this call.

 

Our revenue grew 1.7% quarter-on-quarter and 6.1% year-on-year in constant currency terms in Q3. All verticals and most geographies grew year-on-year. We saw double-digit growth in Europe and India and in our Manufacturing business.

 

Large deals were at $2.5 bn, operating margin at 21.3%. Free cash flow for the quarter was at an all-time high of $1.26 bn. Headcount grew by over 5,000 sequentially to now over 323,000 employees worldwide.

 

Financial Services in the U.S. continues to grow strongly in this quarter and over the past few quarters. We have seen a revival in European Financial Services during Q3. We are seeing an improvement in Retail and consumer product industry in the U.S. with discretionary pressures easing. Automotive sector in Europe continues to remain slow.

 

Demand trends remain stable in other industries, with clients continuing to prioritize cost takeout over discretionary initiatives.

 

Clients are turning to us as their partner of choice when it comes to enterprise AI to transform their business for growth and to manage operations more efficiently. With Infosys Topaz, our Generative AI-powered services and solutions, we are deepening our enterprise AI capabilities. We have built 4 small language models for banking, for IT operations, for cyber and for enterprises broadly. These small language models have 2.5 bn parameters. These models are built using some of our proprietary data sets.

 

We are developing over 100 new Generative AI agents for deployment within our clients. We are working closely with our Generative AI partner ecosystem to develop joint solutions for our clients, several of them on the platforms of the partners.

 

Here are some examples of the work we are doing for our clients in the Generative AI area. We developed a Generative AI-powered research agent that generated comprehensive solutions within seconds for requests made for the product support teams of a large technology company. We have created 3 audit agents to intelligently automate multiple tasks for a professional services company.

 

Based overall on our strong performance in this quarter and our view for the rest of this financial year, we are revising our revenue growth guidance to growth of 4.5% to 5% in constant currency. Our operating margin guidance remains unchanged at 20% to 22%.

 

With that, let me request Jayesh to share his views.

 

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Thank you, Salil. Good morning, good evening everyone, and thank you for joining the call today. As well, wish you all a very Happy New Year.

 

We had another strong quarter of all-round growth across verticals. This was backed by relentless execution resulting in improvements in multiple operating parameters leading to expansion in margin and cash conversion.

 

Here are some of the key highlights.

 

1.

We had a strong all-around growth across verticals of 6.1% year-on-year in constant currency terms.

2.

Among geographies, North America returned to positive growth trajectory after 4 quarters, growing at 4.8%. Europe grew at 12.2% YoY in constant currency terms, twice the company level.

3.

Financial Services saw a third consecutive quarter of volume growth, reflecting continued positivity we are seeing in this sector.

4.

Our $50 mn clients increased by 7.

5.

Large deal TCV for the quarter was at $2.5 bn, 63% of this being net new, which is an increase of 57% in net new deal TCV. Our large deal pipeline has become stronger in Q3.

6.

Coming to margins, Q3 margins are at 21.3%, 20 bps higher sequentially after absorbing impact of furloughs and higher third-party costs. Margins were up 80 basis points year-on-year.

7.

We saw double-digit YoY increase in EPS of 11.4% to INR16.43.

8.

Our razer-sharp focus on cash flow resulted in very strong free cash flow of $1.2 bn for the quarter and $3.2 bn for 9 months. This is an increase of 90% on YoY basis and 57% on 9-month basis.

9.

DSO was at 74 days. However, DSO including unbilled net of unearned was down by 6 days at 86. Our net unbilled revenues declined by $323 mn sequentially to lowest level in last 12 quarters.

10.

Net headcount addition continues for second consecutive quarter. We added 5,591 employees this quarter.

 

Let me now talk about some of this in greater detail.

 

We had a strong revenue growth of 1.7% sequentially and 6.1% on YoY basis in constant currency terms in a seasonally weak quarter. For the 9 months, revenue grew by 3.9%, both in constant currency and reported terms, with double-digit growth in Manufacturing.

 

Operating margins expanded to 21.3%, which is an increase of 20 bps sequentially and 80 bps year-on-year. The major components of sequential margin walk for the quarter are -

 

Tailwinds of

-

40 bps from currency movements

-

30 bps from Project Maximus

-

20 bps from lower costs relating to provisions for post-sales customer support and expected credit loss provision, offset by higher third-party costs

 

Headwinds of

-

70 bps from furloughs and lower working days, offset by higher leave utilization and others.

 

Utilization, excluding trainees, was strong at 86% despite the low volume growth environment.

 

We are very pleased with the continued success of Project Maximus, which has resulted in benefits across various tracks. One such area is realization, which has increased by 3.6% over 9 months, resulting from strong performance emanating from value-based selling track. This has helped expand YTD margins by 30 basis points despite additional headwinds from FY'24 comp increase, higher variable payout, impact due to amortization of intangibles from recent acquisitions and large deal ramp-up.

 

Headcount at the end of quarter stood at 323,000, growing sequentially by approximately 5,600. This is the second consecutive quarter of headcount addition. Attrition remains low at 13.7%.

 

Coming to cash flows, our 9-month free cash flow has surpassed full year free cash flows for the last financial year. For the quarter, our free cash flows were at $1.26 bn, up 51% over last quarter and up 90% over the same period last year. FCF as a percentage of net profit for 9 months was 136%. Excluding income tax refunds, our free cash flow for the quarter was at $996 mn, up 27% over last quarter and up 50% over Q3'24. Our free cash flow, excluding tax refund as a percentage of net profit for the quarter, is at 123% and for the 9 months, is 109%, which is the highest conversion in over two decades.

 

Yield on cash balance was 6.91% in Q3.

 

ETR was at 29.5% for both Q3 and 9 months.

 

We closed 17 large deals with a TCV of $2.5 bn, 63% of this was net new. Vertical-wise, we signed 5 deals in Financial Services, 4 in Communication, 3 in Manufacturing, 2 each in Retail and EURS and one in Hi-Tech. Region-wise, we signed 11 large deals in America and 6 in Europe. This also includes a BOT deal with the client to set up a GCC in India.

 

For 9 months, large deal wins stood at 72 deals with TCV of $9 bn and 55% of this is net new.

 

Coming to verticals,

 

Financial services in the U.S. continues to see discretionary spend increase in capital markets, mortgages, cards and payments, which led to another quarter of volume growth. We have also seen a revival in Europe leading to Q3 backed by some large deals. Our expansion beyond the U.S., specifically into Nordics, Middle East and Southeast Asia is also contributing positively to our growth. Clients have started to view IT investments more favorably post-election-related certainty and interest rate cuts in recent months. While the focus remains on cost optimization, spending towards new growth areas like AI, cloud adoption, cybersecurity, data and analytics is observed.

 

Manufacturing continues to see weakness in the automotive in Europe. However, there is a continued momentum in areas such as engineering, IoT, supply chain, cloud ERP and digital transformation. The benefits of vendor consolidation are being more apparent, contributing to the growth of existing accounts and the establishment of new relationships. The pipeline is healthy, with a mix of large and small deals and a focus on cost takeout and portfolio rationalization.

 

We are seeing some signs of recovery in discretionary spend in the Retail and CPG vertical in the U.S. There is a pickup in deal activity backed by improved consumer sentiment and strong holiday season sales. Companies are looking at investing in brand and technology initiatives. S/4HANA migration deadline is driving budget allocation to make enterprise workload compliant. We are leveraging Infosys Topaz to showcase enhanced business value in predictive analytics and real-time insights and strategic decision-making.

 

Communication sector continues to face volatile macro environment, leading to growth challenges and rising opex pressure. Discretionary spending continues to be soft and current year growth is driven mainly by recent large deal wins focused on efficiency and consolidation.

 

In EURS sector, macro headwinds and supply-demand imbalances continue to influence spending patterns. Growth in demand for electricity to cater to data centres is expected to bring in more investment in energy. Resources clients are more watchful about the changing geopolitical dynamics impacting the supply chain. Discretionary spend remains muted. Our investment in industry clouds and energy transition solutions have helped us win multiple deals.

 

Hi-Tech continues to remain soft. Some clients are reducing the run cost and pausing discretionary investments. We are seeing opportunities in cost takeout deals, including legacy product management and managed services based business operations. Programs are driven by cloud computing and new tech like AI and ML.

 

Driven by our performance and outlook for the rest of the year, we are revising our FY'25 revenue guidance to 4.5% to 5% in constant currency terms. Our operating margin guidance remains at 20% to 22%.

 

With that, we can open the floor for questions.

Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. The first question is from the line of Ankur Rudra from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

 

Ankur Rudra

Thank you and nice print. Can you comment a bit about if there were any one-time items in your revenues or margins this time? I do notice that your third-party costs moved up quite a bit perhaps ahead of revenue growth, and also volume growth was quite soft. So if you can talk a bit about how you think about volume growth into fiscal '26? I know you mentioned that you think it will be better than last year. And if there is any impact of AI impacting the volume of work? Thanks.

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Thanks, Ankur. So you are right, our third-party costs were higher this quarter. There is a bit of seasonality in every Q3. But yes, even considering that, it was higher than that. And that has impacted both cost and revenue.

 

In terms of volumes for FY'26, it is a little bit early, Ankur. As you know, we do get the visibility with clients in terms of budgets in February and March, and then it aligns with our annual cycle. So we would be able to give a clearer picture in April as we announce the guidance for the full year. There were no other one-offs either on revenue or costs in this quarter.

 

Ankur Rudra

Appreciate the color. Just if you can talk a bit about the guide. Now the guide increase is positive, but if you look at the implied number for Q4, it implies a negative number. Is this primarily due to seasonality or also partly from the third-party sales led business, which might shrink and which you have baked into the guide this time?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Ankur, there are two parts, as you rightly said. One is, of course, the third-party seasonality, which is baked in Q4 guidance because Q3 was significantly higher. And Q4 also has lower working days and calendar days. So that is a headwind that we face in Q4. So, both of that are baked in the guidance.

 

Ankur Rudra

Appreciate it. Just last question, you mentioned a lot about small language model and agentic AI. Can you talk a bit about how, on a structured basis, this might impact the volumes of your work, the need for productivity pass back and if this will be net additive or dilutive to the amount of work Infosys can do for its clients?

 

Salil Parekh

Hi Ankur, this is Salil. On the agents, there, what we are seeing is good traction with clients where we have already deployed. The couple of examples I mentioned, where there are several live or production examples, not just proof and concept. What we are seeing is the agents are helping clients to achieve benefit, whether time reduction, cost reduction or greater impact in their customer base and growth. And they are being done in a broad-based way within the client.

 

So the way we are seeing it today is, the areas which can be addressed by agents. We are building about 100 new agents which expands the opportunity that we have to do this sort of work. So at this stage, it looks to us like this will give us over time more growth.

 

On small language models, there, the usage of that small language model is to create some activity, sometimes software development, sometimes customer service, sometimes the knowledge objects within the client and make a positive impact in that. And those all have some elements for them to get additional market share and for them to be more efficient. So the more they are deployed, again, for us, we see possibility of driving growth through that.

 

So one of the examples of a small language model, we are working with a client where they want to build their own small language model based on 1 of the 4 that we build, the enterprise one. And that then translates into their industry and for them to drive it more within the company. So for us, it is like having the model as a service.

 

So for us, it is an expansion of work in the more of those that clients are looking at. So at this stage, we are seeing a broader set of opportunities, while overall scale is small but it is looking like there will be more opportunities in this area.

 

Ankur Rudra

Thank you. Would you classify this nature of work, Salil, under cost-oriented, efficiency-oriented work or is this more discretionary-oriented work?

 

Salil Parekh

So today, AI is something where many clients are doing different programs. So it is not like the traditional tech which had that sort of a view and when industries were getting back, the discretionary was increasing and otherwise, it was more cost. Today, we see the spend is broad-based. The end outcome sometimes could be the cost or their own growth but it is not like that easily put into one of those buckets today, at least.

 

As it becomes more mainstream, we will be able to see how they use it. Today, there is a broader usage of AI within companies that is going on.

 

Ankur Rudra

Okay, appreciate it. Thank you and best of luck.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Yogesh Aggarwal from HSBC Securities. Please go ahead.

 

Yogesh Aggarwal

Hi, just have one question on the third-party items, the pass-through revenues. Jayesh, you talked about seasonality, which is for the fourth quarter. But in general, if you step back, will this line item continue to grow with the top line? Or is there a limit like one can expect like around 9%, 10%, it will settle down? Or this is a new reality that for every new deal, new work, the pass-through revenue will grow in line with the overall revenues?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Yogesh, at this point in time, we do not expect this to change significantly but it is also a factor of the large deals or the megadeals that come in at times, right? So it is dependent on, some of the large deals come in where you take over the tech, the process, people, technology from the client, and as a result, you do incur those costs on your P&L because you are providing an end-to-end solution to the client. So it is going to be a factor of that. But based on current visibility, we are not seeing any significant increase from here in the next few quarters at least.

 

Yogesh Aggarwal

Got it. Thanks.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Bryan Bergin from TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

 

Bryan Bergin

Hi, thank you for taking the question. I wanted to start on pricing. So I think you mentioned a 3.6% 9-month realization tailwind, is very solid. I am just curious how you think that progresses from here as you pursue this value-based pricing strategy and what is a reasonable level of potential pricing impact you would expect going forward? And then just more broadly, can you comment on the competitive pricing situations in the market?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Bryan, as we had talked earlier, this is one of the pillars under our margin improvement program, and there were multiple tracks beneath that and those tracks are yielding results. It is difficult to predict from here, whether this kind of growth year-on-year will be sustained or not. But our endeavor is to keep improving and keep getting better from where we are. So very difficult to give a guidance there.

Having said that, coming to your second question, the pricing environment per se across, at least what we are seeing in the industry is stable at this point in time.

 

Bryan Bergin

Okay. And then on utilization, remains modestly above your normalized range around 86% ex trainees. Can you comment, is this a new normal? Will this move lower as hiring continues? Where do you see that progressing?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. So we have generally said 83%- 85% of utilization is a range that we are more comfortable with. 86% is a little bit above our comfort level but we do not expect it to change significantly either way. So yes, 83%- 85% is where we would like to be.

 

Bryan Bergin

Okay. Thank you.

 

 

Moderator

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Rishi Jhunjhunwala from India Infoline. Please go ahead.

 

Rishi Jhunjhunwala

Yes, thanks for the opportunity. I am sorry, I had dropped for a minute. So in case I am repeating the question. Just wanted to understand the growth in top 5 clients, right? So it has declined pretty sharply in this quarter, down more than 6% QoQ in dollar terms. And even on a year-on-year basis, there has not been much growth. So just trying to understand, what exactly is happening there?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So, Rishi, the sequential change in the top 5 clients is pretty much furloughs, largely because you do see furloughs impacting many of the large clients. And of course, these are also reported numbers, so there could be a bit of currency impact as well depending on which geography the top 5 clients are.

 

The year-on-year will be client specific. There would be some deals which would have ramped up, ramped down as we have seen. So there could be multiple reasons. I do not think there is anything sectoral here in a way to decipher from here, in my mind.

 

Rishi Jhunjhunwala

Okay. And just secondly, clearly, last year, we had a pretty big year in terms of overall deal wins, almost $17.6 bn. This year, currently, we are annualizing at around $12 bn. Just wanted to understand, in terms of proportion of revenues that comes via pass-through, has that changed in the amount of deals that we have won in totality this year versus last year?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

No, not really, Rishi. If you look at last year, we had some of the megadeals in the deal signing which we had called out for as well. I think we had around 8 megadeals in the last year. So that has helped in the $17 bn TCV. But as you know, those deals are volatile. Some quarters, you do have megadeals and some not. There will always be a spike in the megadeals.

 

Outside of the megadeals, the large deals, we have been consistently in the range of $2.5 bn to $3 bn. If you look at this quarter, $2.5 bn has 63% net new which means that the net new sequentially has grown by 50% quarter-on-quarter. We do not expect any significant impact from the deals that we signed this year on the third party.

 

Rishi Jhunjhunwala

Okay, thank you so much.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Jonathan Lee from Guggenheim Partners. Please go ahead.

 

Jonathan Lee

Great, Happy New Year, thanks for taking our questions. Last quarter, you called out improvement in your smaller deal pipeline, but it does not sound like that continued into this quarter. What do you think is driving that difference, particularly given some of the improvement you have called out in discretionary demand?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Jonathan, as we said, our overall deal pipeline has grown because this quarter, our large deal pipeline has also become stronger and the pipeline outside of the large deals has remained stable. So that has reflected in our overall deal pipeline which has grown. There is also a reflection of everything that Salil talked about in terms of the positivity in certain sectors that we are seeing, especially the Financial Services in the U.S. and Europe, the positivity in Retail in U.S. and the cost takeout opportunities in some of the other segments that continues.

 

Jonathan Lee

Appreciate that color. On the European BFSI front, can you help us unpack some of the strength you called out there? What is it that you are seeing in your conversations there? And how durable is that strength?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. So, it is across the deals that we have signed. I mean we are not seeing a sectoral change in a way, but we are seeing a large number of deals that we have signed benefiting us in terms of the positivity in the coming quarters. It is across cloud deals and consolidation of some of the vendors that we have seen that should help us in coming quarters.

 

Jonathan Lee

Appreciate it, thanks for that level of detail.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Surendra Goel from Citigroup. Please go ahead.

 

Surendra Goel

Yes hi, good evening. One of the industry players called out AI-driven productivity pass back to a large client of theirs. Have you seen any such instances in any of your large clients?

 

Salil Parekh

So on the AI-driven productivity point, in general, what we see is whenever there is a productivity benefit, there is always sharing with clients. So in the AI-driven or the other, like outside of AI driven, we are not seeing a difference in the way it is being treated. Many of these, like the examples I gave on agents or some of the examples we have done in the past where we have looked at the foundation models, doing software development or customer service. Typically, some benefits will go with the client. And typically, we will get to keep some benefits.

 

Surendra Goel

Okay. Maybe I will ask the question more specifically. The top 5 client performance, has that been impacted by any such productivity pass-through?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

No, Suren. As I said earlier, it is more of furloughs this quarter. Some part of that is currency because some of the clients are in the different geographies, non-U.S. geographies. And if you look at year-on-year, I do not think there is any sectoral behavior we are seeing there.

 

Surendra Goel

Sure. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Vibhor Singhal from Nuvama Institutional Equities. Please go ahead.

 

Vibhor Singhal

Yes, hi. Thanks for taking my question. I had a couple of questions. So the first question is on the expected growth rate for Q4, which as per the guidance, comes in the negative territory. Now you alluded to the point that it is probably based on the seasonality. So should we assume that this is the reality for business now that the overall business mix that we have at this point of time, in general, Q4 is going to be sharply, let us say, lower than what Q3 does?

 

Despite the fact that Q3 itself would be lower because of the furloughs and the holiday season that we see? If you can answer that, and then I have a follow-up question?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. So Vibhor, if you look at, Q3 was benefited by some of the third-party revenue, right? So to that extent, there is an additional seasonality versus what we generally see in Q3 and Q4 as a seasonality. Historically, if you look at our first half, it is always been stronger than the second half, and within second half, depending on how the calendar days and working days play out, you would see one quarter better than the other quarter.

 

This year, we have lower working and calendar days, both in Q3 and Q4 and that does have Q3 and Q4 impacted. Plus, Q3 has larger furloughs. Q4 will have some furloughs. So you will see overall some furlough flushback offset by working day and calendar day impact and a reversal of the benefit that we got in terms of the third-party revenue.

 

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. And the third-party revenue will also have the seasonality of maybe peaking out in Q3 and then maybe tempering down in the following quarters? Is that also fair to believe?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. That is how generally is, right? In Q3, you do see many of these deals having a larger volume.

 

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. Fair point. Just one last question is on the Retail vertical. I am sorry if I missed out in the opening part. I mean what is our outlook in that vertical overall that we are seeing? I mean you have alluded to discretionary spend picking up earlier. I think a couple of your competitors also have had basically seen the vertical bottoming out. How is this vertical playing out for us and our outlook for this in coming quarters?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Vibhor, what we have said is, we are seeing positivity in Retail and CPG in the U.S. That is reflecting from the fact that the sales in the holiday season is better. The consumer sentiment is getting positive. So all of that is starting to reflect in the deal pipeline, etc. and the client’s behavior in terms of decision-making, etc. So we are seeing that positivity and in the next 1 or 2 quarters, it should start reflecting in terms of volume.

 

Vibhor Singhal

And the deal pipeline in the vertical also remains strong?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes, deal pipeline overall has remained strong. If we look at, again, in this quarter also, we did sign a couple of Retail deals as well.

 

Vibhor Singhal

Got it, sir. Thank you so much for taking my question and wish you all the best.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Ashwin Mehta from Ambit Capital. Please go ahead.

 

Ashwin Mehta

Yes, hi. Thanks for the opportunity. Just wanted to check in terms of impact of the wage hikes, will it be a full impact next quarter? Or will it be staggered? And what is the margin impact that you see of wage hikes?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Ashwin, as we have said earlier, our comp roll-out is going to happen in two phases. First phase starting 1st January and the second phase will start from 1st April. The India wage increases would be, on an average, 6% to 8%. Of course, the higher performers would get much higher, etc., and the overseas would be low single digit. We have not really called out the margin impact on account of that. Most of the employees will get comp increase in Q4.

 

Ashwin Mehta

Okay. Thanks. And just one follow-up to an earlier question. So you indicated that the top 5 client decline was largely furlough led. So ideally, this should recover in the next quarter itself, right?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes. I mean likely yes, Ashwin. We do not give the projections by the brackets of clients but furloughs should reverse for sure.

 

Ashwin Mehta

Okay. So the decline is much higher - because you had almost a 1% drag because of these top 5 clients. And in terms of our guidance, there is a decent enough decline built in. So essentially, the decline is much more. Is the understanding correct?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Ashwin, as I said earlier, it is going to be furloughs, it will be currency, plus it can also be factors like third party, if one of those clients had third party last quarter versus this quarter. So there could be those things. I am not seeing any sectoral behavior in those brackets, which is where the client is behaving differently.

 

Ashwin Mehta

Okay. Thanks Jayesh. Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Jamie Friedman from Susquehanna International Group. Please go ahead.

 

Jamie Friedman

Hi. Good evening. Nice print. So Salil, how are you characterizing the linearity narrative now because I see you are taking up the headcount, which seems quite constructive? I was wondering the automation impact contemplation relative to linearity?

 

Salil Parekh

So on linearity, we see currently there is benefits coming as you stated from automation. There is also benefits that Jayesh was sharing earlier from pricing. But broadly speaking, at the scale we are operating at today, we still see benefits with the employee headcount increase.

 

So for us, that is a good signal on a net basis because it is showing that we are expanding the work that we are doing overall. In the medium, long term, there are different views that could develop. But right now, we are positive with the employee growth and we do see the pluses and the minuses with some of those elements you referenced internally.

 

Jamie Friedman

Thank you. And a separate question with regard to the net new number, which was quite robust. Does the net new reflect either the similar like vertical operating group or service lines as the current base of business? Or is there something that is like net-net new going on in the new bookings?

 

Salil Parekh

So we are also positive on the net new. It demonstrates an expansion of what we are doing typically with existing or new clients. We do not, sort of detail out the specific service line but at a macro level, sufficient to say that we see very good traction on areas like cloud. We see good traction in a small way on what we were discussing earlier on Generative AI.

 

We are seeing good traction on areas like SAP S/4HANA. We are seeing good traction as Jayesh shared earlier on broadly cost takeout. So these are not, let us say, all net-net new Generative AI is, but it is a mix of these things without sort of getting into the specifics on the 63%.

Perfect. Thank you. I will join back in the queue.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Sandeep Shah from Equirus Securities. Please go ahead.

 

Sandeep Shah

Yes. Thanks for the opportunity. Salil, just the first question. When we entered FY'25, we had a lot of support of the megadeal, large deals which have ramped up in the first 9 months of FY'25. With those largely into the ramp-up stage and might go on into steady state, do you believe FY'26 we may have to worry? Or do you believe FY'26, as some of the industry peers are calling out, better than FY'25? So, do you believe that for the industry FY'26 could be better than FY'25?

 

Salil Parekh

So there as I think you know, we do not have a comment externally on the next financial year. What we are very clear is with this better view on Financial Services. So the first was U.S., now Financial Services Europe, the better view on Retail and consumer products, U.S, we are starting to see some positivity on the discretionary. With a net new of 60% looking good, we will see where that brings us into the next cycle. And overall, going in with an increased guidance, we feel confident going into Q4.

 

We also see the deal pipeline for large deals looking more robust than it was at this time last quarter. So overall we see our execution of what we are driving and the traction that the clients are giving us is incredible. That is what we have to say because we stop in terms of specific guidance at March 31. But generally speaking, what we are seeing underlying seems to be positive.

 

Sandeep Shah

Okay. Just other questions. Any color in terms of deal pipeline below $50 mn which has grown 10% QoQ in the 2Q? Any update on the same? Second, in terms of margin, Jayesh, do you believe the likely reversal in the third party would be enough to offset the wage hike impact in the third quarter?

 

And also in terms of the recruitment which we have done in this quarter, can you throw color, is it more fresher driven or is it more lateral driven?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Sorry, Sandeep, what was your first question?

 

Sandeep Shah

Small deal pipeline?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes, small deal pipeline. The small deal pipeline remained stable as compared to last quarter. As Salil said, our large deal pipeline has grown. So our overall pipeline, therefore, has become stronger. So that is the point number one. Point number two, we will have headwinds in terms of compensation. We will have tailwinds coming if the third-party cost is coming down and some bit of currency depending on how the currency plays out. But at this point in time, where we are, there could be some benefits from there. So that is broadly the puts and takes. We do not really quantify each of them as we get into this quarter. So I would not get there.

 

Sandeep Shah

And the last question on recruitment?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So I think recruitment is a combination of both freshers and laterals. Again, we have not broken up this number. But for the year, we will hire 15,000 plus freshers in line with our original commentary. And for the next year we are expecting 20,000 plus.

 

Sandeep Shah

Okay. Thanks and all the best.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Sumeet Jain from CLSA India. Please go ahead.

 

Sumeet Jain

Hi, thanks for the opportunity. If I recall correctly, last quarter you mentioned that sub-$20 mn (editor comment- reference is to sub-$50 mn deals) deals had a very strong pipeline. So can you just comment, did you actually see the positive impact of that in 3Q? And how does that deal pipeline look like at this stage?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So, Sumeet, what we said was the sub-$50 mn deals which had grown by double digits. We have not really called it out how much of that is converted, how much of that is not. And in any case, whatever we convert in this quarter will start showing up results in Q4 onwards. So that is how it runs out.

 

The idea of giving that data point last quarter was we saw a significant change there, which we thought it was important to share it with investors. But we are not breaking that up further as to how much of that got converted or not. At this point in time, we still continue to see that as stable. The large deal pipeline has become stronger.

 

Sumeet Jain

All right. Got it. That is helpful. And secondly in terms of -- sorry, actually I forgot my second question. Maybe I will come back in the queue.

 

 

Moderator

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Keith Bachman from BMO Capital. Please go ahead.

 

Keith Bachman

Hi, thank you very much. My question is on cost to serve your clients. And what I mean by that is, how is AI changing your cost to serve today? And I am not talking about AI deals. I am talking about the broader or questioning the broader portfolio. And how do you envision that changing, say, a year from now?

 

Salil Parekh

So, there in terms of AI and our cost to serve, what we are seeing, some of these elements we have discussed in the past at the level of what our activity is. We see applying, for example, some of the small language models and large language models within the company for areas like software development.

 

And we have seen some benefits accrue from that. Now the place where this becomes the most relevant is when we have clients where there is a large common sort of foundation of approach, a common foundation of data infrastructure or, for example, where we have our own business of Finacle where we have started to apply these.

 

We are now rolling this out where we see common elements across our own internal business. And those are benefits that will support us and it will be one of the levers that will help us over time on our margin activity and is part of our program. We do not have an external quantification but that is something, that is one of the elements of the approach we are driving through internally.

 

And as time goes on, you need some large common element, common data set to make impact on that area, on area of customer service and other areas where Gen AI can be applied within Infosys.

 

Keith Bachman

Okay. Let me ask my follow-up related to that. You called out SAP as being a strong area for you. And I think it is candidly strong for a number of different vendors or suppliers. Presumably, Gen AI will help with deployments over time because there is a notion of software development as the SAP ECC customers migrate to the cloud.

 

And so as that develops into more robust capabilities for Infosys, how does that change your pricing to the customers, say, a year from now for deployment of SAP work? Because if you are getting a benefit, presumably as the customers will want to share in that benefit. So how do you think, is it a source of deflation for you? Or how do you think that unfolds, particularly from the software development side?

 

Salil Parekh

So I think if I understood what you are asking, this is on SAP software development when we are doing it for our clients. In that instance, today, the demand, as we were sharing earlier on S/4HANA or even on RISE, which is the cloud migration piece, is strong in the SAP area. Now that work is more implementation or migration. So it is not typically software development.

 

Having said that, some elements of the agents that we discussed before, especially in the finance process, which is where we are seeing the biggest impact today, in like invoicing and other finance activities, we will see some impact and benefit.

 

However, stepping back all of that, let us say, benefit will eventually, at least from past experience is almost always shared with the client in some way. So I do not see that approach of sharing will change and which to us means we will get some benefit and the client will get some benefit.

 

Keith Bachman

Okay, I will cede the floor. Thank you.

 

 

Moderator

Thank you. Next follow-up question is from the line of Sumeet Jain from CLSA India. Please go ahead.

 

Sumeet Jain

Yes hi. Thanks for the opportunity again. My second question is actually around the Retail vertical growth sustainability. I think last entire year, we mentioned that because of high interest rates and inflationary environment in the U.S., this vertical had a pretty subdued growth. So we saw a pretty strong sequential growth here. How do you see the sustainability of growth in CY'25? And post the U.S. election outcome, do you see any client sentiment changing particularly in this vertical?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Sumeet, the Q3 growth in Retail was also helped by some of the third-party deals that we talked about earlier. But as I said, and Salil said as well, the Retail and CPG in the U.S., we are seeing a revival in terms of growth on the back of the strong holiday season sales as well as the consumer sentiment changing. At this point in time, we are seeing revival and interest from clients in terms of spending, which should ideally reflect into growth in the next few quarters.

 

Sumeet Jain

Right. And secondly, in terms of the Gen AI rollout, are you seeing any specific verticals where the impact is slightly higher in terms of volume gains or increase in pricing?

 

Salil Parekh

So Generative AI today is in discussion across almost every industry, most clients. So some of the examples that we were discussing earlier like in a technology company, we are doing a lot of work in the telco area. And of course, in Financial Services, where we discussed overall segment and the Retail point we discussed.

 

But Generative AI discussions are more broad-based. A lot of clients are quite actively looking at doing something. Most clients have some internal and then, with us, some external activity going on there.

 

Sumeet Jain

Got it. That is helpful, Salil. And lastly, I just want to understand the 3.6% YoY increase in pricing you mentioned in the first 9 months. What has been the primary factor behind that very strong increase in pricing?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Sumeet, this is Jayesh here. This is the program that we have been running on margin expansion, and there is one dedicated pillar, which is value-based selling, and there are multiple tracks beneath that. I think many of those tracks have started yielding results, whether it is change request, whether it is differential pricing, etc.

 

And all of that has yielded results in multiple ways. Of course, even the lean automation is also reflected in pricing eventually, right? Because we are able to deliver the same output with lesser people, it will reflect in pricing. So all of that would show up in pricing.

 

Sumeet Jain

Alright, that is helpful. So that is all I had. Thanks for the opportunity again and all the best.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Abhinav Ganeshan from SBI Pension Funds. Please go ahead.

 

Abhinav Ganeshan

Hello. Thank you for the opportunity and congratulations on the great set of numbers. I just wanted some more clarity on this third-party software packages which have risen to around 9.5% of revenue for the current quarter. I think in your comments, you alluded to Retail vertical taking up some of that. If you can give some more color, are there any more verticals you would like to call out and also geographies?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Abhinav, we do not really split this by geographies and verticals. There was one specific question that Sumeet asked and I was responding to that question. But we cannot really break this by geography or verticals.

 

Abhinav Ganeshan

Okay. Sorry to just follow up on this, but I just wanted to understand, if you can give a broader color? Now in the recent last 2 years, if you look at it, our cost takeout deals have gone up compared to the discretionary spend. Now discretionary spends are returning. So this number has trended up from around 6% to 9.5%. So once discretionary comes back, do you feel that this will kind of stabilize and maybe then trend down later, if you can comment on that?

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

So Abhinav, as I said earlier in the call as well, this is going to be dependent on many of the large deals that we sign and what are the contours of those large deals. If the large deals is a deal where we are taking over people, process, technology and providing an end-to-end solution to the client, it will come with some of these third-party costs like hardware, software, etc.

 

And that will automatically show up on our books as cost. But, then we are providing an integrated solution to our clients, which is much more secure in the long term. So that is how it is. It is going to depend on, in the future, what part of the deals or the larger deals come through as a lock, stock, and barrel kind of a program that we are taking over everything from the client.

 

Abhinav Ganeshan

Got it, sir. I appreciate the same. One last question from my side. Now your utilization has reached around 86%, so just wanted to understand, what would be your comfort zone for the coming quarter and the coming year and how would we get there? If you can give some color? Thanks.

 

Jayesh Sanghrajka

Yes, as I said earlier as well, our utilization comfort level is 83% to 85%. This quarter we are tad above that. But yes, what would be more comfortable in a growth environment would be 83%- 85%.

 

Abhinav Ganeshan

I appreciate the color. That is all from my side. Thank you and all the best.

Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, we will take that as the last question. I will now hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.

 

Salil Parekh

Thank you. This is Salil. So first, thank you, everyone, for joining in. I just wanted to share a couple of observations.

 

Very strong growth in this quarter, especially Financial Services-U.S. Financial Services-Europe now started to see traction in discretionary. Retail, consumer products - U.S., all of those are good signs for us. Extremely strong cash generation, good large deals with very good net new, continued deep sort of capability building and traction on Generative AI with our clients.

 

And with that, an increase in our growth guidance, third in 3 quarters. So we continue to see, as the environment starts to be more supportive in FS, Retail, the execution that we are driving within Infosys resonating with our clients and we continue to see that traction with the increase in the guidance for the third consecutive quarter.

 

Thank you, everyone, and catch up with you at the next quarterly call.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:

 

(i)

includes the results of the subsidiaries as given in the Annexure to this report;

(ii)

is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations; and

(iii)

gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the consolidated net profit and consolidated total comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in Auditor’s Responsibilities for audit of the consolidated financial results section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Management’s Responsibilities for the Statement

 

The Statement, which includes the Consolidated Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Statement has been compiled from the related audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and consolidated other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

 

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of this Statement by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.

 

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024, as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Results.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such controls.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

•

Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.

•

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Financial Information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors.

 

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Statement that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Statement may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Statement.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

INDEPENDENT Auditor’s Report ON AUDIT OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

To The Board of Directors of INFOSYS Limited

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of Standalone Financial Results of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”) for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024 (the “Statement”) being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

 

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the statement:

 

(i)

is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations; and

 

(ii)

gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net profit and total comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit of the Statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Management’s Responsibilities for the Statement

 

The Statement, which includes the Standalone Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Statement has been compiled from the related audited interim condensed standalone financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statements that give a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Results.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such controls.

 

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.

 

•

Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

 

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

•

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Statement to express an opinion on the Statement.

 

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Statement that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Statement may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Statement.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Notes on segment information

 

Business segments

 

Based on the "management approach" as required by Ind-AS 108 - Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.

 

Segmental capital employed

 

Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months and nine months ended on that date, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view in conformity with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at December 31, 2024, its consolidated profit and its consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended on that date, its consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the ICAI, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB. The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of the adequate accounting records for safeguarding assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective interim financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

·

Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.

·

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

·

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

·

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

·

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are independent auditors.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

 

Accounting Policy

 

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. The Group considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

Overview and Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Overview

 

1.1 Company overview

 

Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.

 

Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".

 

The company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the company's Board of Directors on January 16, 2025.

 

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by International Accounting Standards Board, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2024. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

 

The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.

 

As the quarter and year to date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year to date figures reported in this statement.

 

1.3 Basis of consolidation

 

Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

 

The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded.

 

1.4 Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires Management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgements are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

a. Revenue recognition

 

The Group’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement.

 

Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.

 

The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

b. Income taxes

 

The Group's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.

 

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, Management believes that the group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. (Refer to note 2.12)

 

c. Business combinations and intangible assets

 

Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires us to fair value identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by Management. (Refer to note 2.10 and 2.9.2)

 

d. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by Management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to note 2.7)

 

e. Impairment of Goodwill

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGUs) is less than it’s carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

 

The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. (Refer to note 2.9.1)

2.3 Financial instruments

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.3.1 Initial recognition

 

The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

 

2.3.2 Subsequent measurement

 

a. Non-derivative financial instruments

 

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

(ii) Financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable election for certain investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

 

(iii) Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

 

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

 

(iv) Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

b. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.

 

(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carried at fair value through profit or loss

 

This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.

 

Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

 

(ii) Cash flow hedge

 

Primarily the Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transaction.

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

2.3.3 Derecognition of financial instruments

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

2.3.4 Fair value of financial instruments

 

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing model, market multiples, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

 

Refer to table ‘Financial instruments by category’ below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

2.3.5 Impairment

 

The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

 

The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.

 

The amount of ECL (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Fair value hierarchy

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2024 is as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2024, quoted debt securities of $257 million were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued based on quoted price and quoted debt securities of $9 million were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued based on market observable inputs.

 

A one percentage point change in the unobservable inputs used in fair valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities does not have a significant impact in its value.

 

Majority of investments of the Group are fair valued based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. These investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, target maturity fund units, quoted debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi-government organizations. The Group invests after considering counterparty risks based on multiple criteria including Tier I Capital, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit Rating, Profitability, NPA levels and Deposit base of banks and financial institutions. These risks are monitored regularly as per Group’s risk management program.

As at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the financial liability pertaining to such arrangements amounts to $11 million and $45 million, respectively.

 

Accrued expenses primarily relate to cost of technical sub-contractors, telecommunication charges, legal and professional charges, brand building expenses, overseas travel expenses and office maintenance and cost of third party software and hardware.

 

2.6 Provisions and other contingencies

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.6.1 Provisions

 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

 

Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

a. Post sales client support

 

The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in cost of sales. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

 

b. Onerous contracts

 

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Particulars	As at
	December 31, 2024	March 31, 2024
Post sales client support and other provisions	174	215
Total provisions	174	215

 

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions majorly represents costs associated with providing post sales support services which are accrued at the time of recognition of revenues and are expected to be utilized over a period of 1 year.

 

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

As at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, claims against the Group, not acknowledged as debts, (excluding demands from income tax authorities- Refer to Note 2.12) amounted to $96 million (822 crore) and $95 million (789 crore), respectively.

 

2.6.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident

 

In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the non-availability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.

 

Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.

 

2.6.3 Legal proceedings

 

From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The actions arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. All six actions have since been consolidated, and the consolidated class action complaint was filed on November 7, 2024, purportedly on behalf of all persons residing in the United States whose personally identifiable information was compromised in the incident, including all who were sent a notice of the incident. On December 20, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to stay proceedings pending the parties’ efforts to resolve the lawsuit through mediation.

 

Apart from legal proceedings and claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

 

Accounting Policy

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

Building	22-25 years
Plant and machinery(1)	5 years
Computer equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term

 

(1)

Includes solar plant with a useful life of 25 years

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

 

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.

 

Impairment

 

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

The changes in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

 

The Group had contractual commitments for capital expenditure primarily comprising of commitments for infrastructure facilities and computer equipments aggregating to $128 million and $94 million as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

2.8 Leases

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Group as a lessee

 

The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. The group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

As a lessee, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

 

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

 

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

 

Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

 

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

 

The Group as a lessor

 

Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.9 Goodwill and Intangible assets

 

2.9.1 Goodwill

 

Accounting Policy

 

Goodwill represents purchase consideration in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the net profit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Impairment

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.

 

Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:

 

(Dollars in millions)

Particulars	As at
	December 31, 2024	March 31, 2024
Carrying value at the beginning	875	882
Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.10)	309	–
Translation differences	(24)	(7)
Carrying value at the end	1,160	875

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

 

2.9.2 Intangible assets

 

Accounting Policy

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to prepare the asset for its intended use.

 

Impairment

 

Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

 

2.10 Business combinations

 

Accounting policy

 

Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.

 

The purchase price in an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase price also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.

 

Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognized.

Notes on grants to KMP:

 

CEO & MD

 

Under the 2015 plan:

 

The Board, on April 18, 2024, based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee approved the following grants for fiscal 2025. In accordance with such approval the following grants were made effective May 2, 2024.

 

- 245,679 performance-based RSUs (Annual performance equity grant) of fair value of 34.75 crore. These RSUs will vest in line with the employment agreement based on achievement of certain performance targets.

 

- 14,140 performance-based grant of RSUs (Annual performance equity ESG grant) of fair value of 2 crore. These RSUs will vest in line with the employment agreement based on achievement of certain environment, social and governance milestones as determined by the Board.

 

- 35,349 performance-based grant of RSUs (Annual performance Equity TSR grant) of fair value of 5 crore . These RSUs will vest in line with the employment agreement based on Company’s performance on cumulative relative TSR over the years and as determined by the Board.

 

Though the annual time based grants and annual performance equity TSR grant for the remaining employment term ending on March 31, 2027 have not been granted as of December 31, 2024, since the service commencement date precedes the grant date, the company has recorded employment stock compensation expense in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments. The grant date for this purpose in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments is July 1, 2022.

 

Under the 2019 plan:

 

The Board, on April 18, 2024, based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, approved performance-based grant of RSUs amounting to 10 crore for fiscal 2025 under the 2019 Plan. These RSUs will vest based on achievement of certain performance targets. Accordingly, 70,699 performance based RSU’s were granted effective May 2, 2024.

 

The break-up of employee stock compensation expense is as follows:

 

(Dollars in millions)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Granted to:
KMP	2	2	6	6
Employees other than KMP	20	16	66	46
Total (1)	22	18	72	52
(1) Cash settled stock compensation expense included in the above	1	1	2	1

 

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.

 

The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.

 

The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

Particulars	For options granted in
	Fiscal 2025- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2025- ADS-RSU	Fiscal 2024- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2024- ADS-RSU
Weighted average share price () / ($ ADS)	1,437	18.42	1,588	19.19
Exercise price ()/ ($ ADS)	5.00	0.07	5.00	0.07
Expected volatility (%)	21-26	23-28	23-31	25-33
Expected life of the option (years)	1-4	1-4	1-4	1-4
Expected dividends (%)	2-3	2-3	2-3	2-3
Risk-free interest rate (%)	7	4-5	7	4-5
Weighted average fair value as on grant date () / ($ ADS)	1,319	16.94	1,317	16.27

 

The expected life of the RSU/ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU/ESOP, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU/ESOP.

 

2.12 Income Taxes

 

Accounting policy

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

 

The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.

 

Income tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises:

 

(Dollars in million)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Current taxes
Domestic taxes	289	223	845	644
Foreign taxes	89	67	268	229

Domestic taxes	(24)	21	(84)	66
Foreign taxes	(17)	(10)	(48)	(35)
	(41)	11	(132)	31
Income tax expense	337	301	981	904

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversals) of $13 million and reversals (net of provisions) of $8 million. Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversals) of $30 million and reversals (net of provisions) of $16 million. These provisions and reversals pertaining to prior periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments, across various jurisdictions.

 

Deferred income tax for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.

 

The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.

 

As at December 31, 2024, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $340 million (2,915 crore). As at March 31, 2024, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $335 million (2,794 crore).

 

Amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax claims amounted to $409 million (3,500 crore) and $1,048 million (8,743 crore) as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 respectively.

 

The claims against the Group primarily represent demands arising on completion of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations.

 

2.13 Basic and diluted shares used in computing earnings per equity share

 

Accounting Policy

 

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

 

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

2.15 Segment reporting

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance.

 

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the accounting policies.

 

Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial services reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of the economic characteristics. All other segments represent the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services.

 

Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public Services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China and other enterprises in public service. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation and amortization, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.

 

Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

 

Business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

 

Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations is given in note 2.16 Revenue from operations

2.16 Revenue from Operations

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”) and business process management services. Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-timeframe basis.

 

Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved in writing, by the parties, to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services (“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.

 

The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.

 

The Group’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended are used to determine progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contracts and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

 

In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation, the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses.

 

Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.

 

Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.

 

Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS).When implementation services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations, the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the period in which the services are rendered.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.

 

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects to recover them.

 

Certain eligible, nonrecurring costs (e.g. set-up or transition or transformation costs) that do not represent a separate performance obligation are recognized as an asset when such costs (a) relate directly to the contract; (b) generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.

 

Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.

 

The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

^* Geographical revenue is based on the domicile of customer

 

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 55% and 55%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 54% and 53%, respectively.

 

Trade Receivables and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, unbilled revenue, and unearned revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.

 

The Group’s receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is due only after a passage of time.

 

Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore, unbilled revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.

 

Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

 

Trade receivable and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated balance sheet.

Accounting policy

 

Ordinary Shares

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 

Treasury Shares

 

When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from Share premium.

 

Share premium

 

The amount received in excess of the par value has been classified as share premium. Additionally, share-based compensation recognized in net profit in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income is credited to share premium. Amounts have been utilized for bonus issue and share buyback from share premium account.

 

The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of 5/-.

 

Retained earnings

 

Retained earnings represent the amount of accumulated earnings of the Group.

 

Other Reserves

 

The Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve has been created out of the profit of the eligible SEZ unit in terms of the provisions of Sec 10AA (1)(ii) of Income Tax Act, 1961. The reserve should be utilized by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business in terms of the provisions of the Sec 10AA (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

 

Capital Redemption Reserve

 

In accordance with section 69 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from general reserve / retained earnings.

 

Cash flow hedge reserve

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the interim condensed consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction.

 

Other components of equity

 

Other components of equity include currency translation, re-measurement of net defined benefit liability/asset, fair value changes of equity instruments fair valued through other comprehensive income, changes on fair valuation of investments, net of taxes.

 

2.18.1 Voting

2.18.2 Liquidation

 

In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of shares shall be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts exist currently, other than the amounts held by irrevocable controlled trusts. The amount distributed will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders. For irrevocable controlled trusts, the corpus would be settled in favor of the beneficiaries.

2.18.5 Capital allocation policy

 

Effective fiscal 2025, the Company expects to continue its policy of returning approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and/or share buyback/ special dividends subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Under this policy, the Company expects to progressively increase its annual dividend per share (excluding special dividend if any).

 

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditure as per the consolidated statement of cash flows prepared under IFRS. Dividend and buyback include applicable taxes.

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy back issued shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has no debt. Consequent to the above capital structure there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Dividend

 

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. Income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity will be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits.

 

The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

 

The amount of per share dividend recognized as distribution to equity shareholders is as follows:

Accounting policy

 

2.19.1 Gratuity and Pensions

 

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees majorly of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group. The Company contributes Gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.

 

The Group operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.

 

Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.

 

The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized in net profits in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

2.19.2 Superannuation

 

Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

 

2.19.3 Provident fund

 

Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The company contributes a portion of the contributions to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.

 

In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.

 

2.19.4 Compensated absences

 

The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an external actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

 

2.19.5 Other income, net

 

Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

 

2.19.6 Foreign Currency

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

 

The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (rounded off to the nearest million) to facilitate the investors’ ability to evaluate Infosys’ performance and financial position in comparison to similar companies domiciled in other geographic locations.

 

Transactions and translations

 

Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and reported within exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate.

 

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

 

The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. However, when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity.

 

Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date.

 

2.19.7 Government grants

 

The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

 

2.19.8 Operating Profits

 

Operating profit of the Group is computed considering the revenues, net of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS LIMITED

 

Report on the Audit of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months and nine months ended on that date, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view in conformity with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at December 31, 2024, its consolidated profit and its consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended on that date, its consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended on that date.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the ICAI, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB. The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of the adequate accounting records for safeguarding assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective interim financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

 

In preparing the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

·

Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.

·

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

·

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

·

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

·

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are independent auditors.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Overview and Notes to the Interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Overview

 

1.1

Company overview

 

Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.

 

Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".

 

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru -560100, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on January 16, 2025.

 

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by International Accounting Standards Board, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2024. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

 

The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.

 

As the quarter and year-end figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-end figures reported in this statement.

 

1.3 Basis of consolidation

 

Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

 

The financial statements of the Group Companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Company, are excluded.

 

1.4 Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgments are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

a. Revenue recognition

 

The Group’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to the contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement.

 

Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from a fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and the Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.

 

The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

b. Income taxes

 

The Group's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.

 

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. (Refer to Note 2.12)

 

c. Business combinations and intangible assets

 

Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires us to fair value identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by Management. (Refer to Note 2.10 and 2.9.2).

 

d. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by Management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. (Refer to Note 2.7).

 

e. Impairment of Goodwill

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGUs) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

 

The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. (Refer to note 2.9.1)

2.3 Financial instruments

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.3.1 Initial recognition

 

The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

 

2.3.2 Subsequent measurement

 

a. Non-derivative financial instruments

 

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

(ii) Financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable election for certain investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

 

(iii) Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

 

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

 

(iv) Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option arrangements recognized in a business combination which are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

b. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.

 

(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carried at fair value through profit or loss

 

This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.

 

Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the Balance Sheet date.

 

(ii) Cash flow hedge

 

Primarily, the Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions.

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

2.3.3 Derecognition of financial instruments

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

2.3.4 Fair value of financial instruments

 

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices ,option pricing model, market multiples, and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

 

Refer to table 'Financial instruments by category' below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

2.3.5 Impairment

 

The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

 

The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.

 

The amount of ECL (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2024 is as follows:

2.6 Provisions and other contingencies

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.6.1 Provisions

 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

 

Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

a. Post sales client support

 

The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in cost of sales. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

 

b. Onerous contracts

 

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions majorly represents cost associated with providing post sales support services which are accrued at the time of recognition of revenues and are expected to be utilized over a period of 1 year.

 

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

As at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 claims against the Group, not acknowledged as debts, (excluding demands from income tax authorities - Refer to note 2.12) amounted to 822 crore and 789 crore respectively.

 

2.6.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident

 

In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the non-availability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.

 

Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.

 

2.6.3 Legal proceedings

 

From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The actions arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. All six actions have since been consolidated, and the consolidated class action complaint was filed on November 7, 2024, purportedly on behalf of all persons residing in the United States whose personally identifiable information was compromised in the incident, including all who were sent a notice of the incident. On December 20, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to stay proceedings pending the parties’ efforts to resolve the lawsuit through mediation.

 

Apart from legal proceedings and claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

 

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

 

Accounting Policy

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

Building	22-25 years
Plant and machinery(1)	5 years
Computer equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term

 

⁽¹⁾ Includes solar plant with a useful life of 25 years

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

 

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.

 

Impairment

 

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in net profit in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

The changes in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

 

The Group had contractual commitments for capital expenditure primarily comprising of commitments for infrastructure facilities and computer equipment aggregating to 1096 crore and 780 crore as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

 

2.8 Leases

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Group as a lessee

 

The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

As a lessee, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

 

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

 

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

 

Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

 

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

 

The Group as a lessor

 

Leases for which the group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.9 Goodwill and Intangible assets

 

2.9.1 Goodwill

 

Accounting Policy

 

Goodwill represents the purchase consideration in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the net profit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Impairment

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.

 

Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	As at
	December 31, 2024	March 31, 2024
Carrying value at the beginning	7,303	7,248
Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.10)	2,593	–
Translation differences	39	55
Carrying value at the end	9,935	7,303

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGUs or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

 

2.9.2 Intangible assets

 

Accounting Policy

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to prepare the asset for its intended use.

 

Impairment

 

Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

 

2.10 Business combinations

 

Accounting policy

 

Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.

 

The purchase price in an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase price also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.

 

Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognized.

- 35,349 performance-based grant of RSUs (Annual performance Equity TSR grant) of fair value of 5 crore. These RSUs will vest in line with the employment agreement based on Company’s performance on cumulative relative TSR over the years and as determined by the Board.

 

Though the annual time based grants and annual performance equity TSR grant for the remaining employment term ending on March 31, 2027 have not been granted as of December 31, 2024, since the service commencement date precedes the grant date, the company has recorded employment stock compensation expense in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments. The grant date for this purpose in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments is July 1, 2022.

 

Under the 2019 plan:

 

The Board, on April 18, 2024, based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, approved performance-based grant of RSUs amounting to 10 crore for fiscal 2025 under the 2019 Plan. These RSUs will vest based on achievement of certain performance targets. Accordingly, 70,699 performance based RSU’s were granted effective May 2, 2024.

 

The break-up of employee stock compensation expense is as follows:

 

(in crore) 

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Granted to:
KMP	17	14	52	51
Employees other than KMP	168	133	553	375
Total (1)	185	147	605	426
(1) Cash settled stock compensation expense included in the above	2	2	14	9

 

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.

 

The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.

 

The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

Particulars	For options granted in
	Fiscal 2025- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2025- ADS-RSU	Fiscal 2024- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2024- ADS-RSU
Weighted average share price () / ($ ADS)	1,437	18.42	1,588	19.19
Exercise price ()/ ($ ADS)	5.00	0.07	5.00	0.07
Expected volatility (%)	21-26	23-28	23-31	25-33
Expected life of the option (years)	1-4	1-4	1-4	1-4
Expected dividends (%)	2-3	2-3	2-3	2-3
Risk-free interest rate (%)	7	4-5	7	4-5
Weighted average fair value as on grant date () / ($ ADS)	1,319	16.94	1,317	16.27

 

The expected life of the RSU/ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU/ESOP, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU/ESOP.

 

 

2.12 Income Taxes

 

Accounting policy

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

 

The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.

 

Income tax expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Current taxes
Domestic taxes	2,450	1,858	7,093	5,325
Foreign taxes	752	561	2,253	1,891
	3,202	2,419	9,346	7,216
Deferred taxes
Domestic taxes	(209)	174	(705)	548
Foreign taxes	(145)	(87)	(408)	(290)
	(354)	87	(1,113)	258
Income tax expense	2,848	2,506	8,233	7,474

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversal) of 106 crore and reversal (net of provisions) of 64 crore, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversal) of 249 crore and reversal (net of provisions) of 136 crore, respectively. These provisions and reversals pertaining to prior periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments, across various jurisdictions.

 

Deferred income tax for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.

 

The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.

As at December 31, 2024, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to 2,915 crore.

 

As at March 31, 2024, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to 2,794 crore.

 

The amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax claims amounted to 3,500 crore and 8,743 crore as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

The claims against the Group primarily represent demands arising on completion of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations.

 

2.13 Reconciliation of basic and diluted shares used in computing earnings per equity share

 

Accounting Policy

 

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

 

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

 

2.14 Related party transactions

2.15 Segment reporting

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the accounting policies.

 

Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial services reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of the economic characteristics. All other segments represents the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services.

 

Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public Services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China and other enterprises in Public services. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation and amortization, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.

 

Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

 

Business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

 

Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations is given in note 2.16 Revenue from operations.

2.16 Revenue from Operations

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”) and business process management services. Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-time frame basis.

 

Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved in writing by the parties, to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services (“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.

 

The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.

 

The Group’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended are used to determine progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contracts and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

 

In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation, the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses.

 

Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.

 

Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.

 

Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). When implementation services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations, the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period in which the services are rendered.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.

 

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects to recover them.

 

Certain eligible, nonrecurring costs (e.g. set-up or transition or transformation costs) that do not represent a separate performance obligation are recognized as an asset when such costs (a) relate directly to the contract; (b) generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.

 

Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.

 

The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Revenues for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,

Disaggregated revenue information

 

Revenue disaggregation by business segments has been included in segment information (Refer note 2.15). The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by geography and contract type. The Group believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.

 

For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,

^* Geographical revenues is based on the domicile of customer.

 

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 55% and 55%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 54% and 53% respectively.

 

Trade Receivables and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, unbilled revenue, and unearned revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.

 

The Group’s Receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is due only after a passage of time.

 

Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore, unbilled revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.

 

Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

 

Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated statement of balance sheet.

2.18 Equity

 

Accounting policy

 

Ordinary Shares

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 

Treasury Shares

 

When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/from Share premium.

 

Retained earnings

 

Retained earnings represent the amount of accumulated earnings of the Group.

 

Share premium

 

The amount received in excess of the par value of equity shares has been classified as share premium. Additionally, share-based compensation recognized in net profit in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income is credited to share premium. Amounts have been utilized for bonus issue and share buyback from share premium account.

 

Other Reserve

 

The Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve has been created out of the profit of the eligible SEZ unit in terms of the provisions of Sec 10AA (1)(ii) of Income Tax Act, 1961.

Capital Redemption Reserve

 

In accordance with section 69 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from general reserve / retained earnings.

 

Cash flow hedge reserve

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the interim condensed consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction.

 

Other components of equity

 

Other components of equity include currency translation, re-measurement of net defined benefit liability/asset, fair value changes of equity instruments fair valued through other comprehensive income, changes on fair valuation of investments, net of taxes.

2.18.2 Liquidation

 

In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of shares shall be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts exist currently, other than the amounts held by irrevocable controlled trusts.

2.18.5 Capital allocation policy

 

Effective fiscal 2025, the Company expects to continue its policy of returning approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and/or share buyback/ special dividends subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Under this policy, the Company expects to progressively increase its annual dividend per share (excluding special dividend if any).

 

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditure as per the consolidated statement of cash flows prepared under IFRS. Dividend and buyback include applicable taxes.

 

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy back issued shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has no debt. Consequent to the above capital structure there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Dividend

 

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. Income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity will be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits.

 

The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay / distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

Accounting policy

 

Gratuity and Pensions

 

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees majorly of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group. The Company contributes Gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.

 

The Group operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement and/or a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.

 

Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.

 

The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized in net profit in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Provident fund

 

Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.

 

In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.

 

Superannuation

 

Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

 

Compensated absences

 

The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an external actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

 

Other income, net

 

Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

 

Foreign currency

 

Accounting policy

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

 

The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).

 

Transactions and translations

 

Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and reported within exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate.

 

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

 

The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. However when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity.

 

Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date.

 

Government grants

 

The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

 

Operating Profits

 

Operating profit of the Group is computed considering the revenues, net of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying interim condensed standalone financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”), which comprise the Condensed Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2024, the Condensed Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) for the three months and nine months ended on that date, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity and the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “interim condensed standalone financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid interim condensed standalone financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”), read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at December 31, 2024 its profit and total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended on that date, changes in equity and its cash flows for the nine months ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the interim condensed standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the interim condensed standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the interim condensed standalone financial statements.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS 34 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the interim condensed standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the interim condensed standalone financial statements, Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the interim condensed standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim condensed standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the interim condensed standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

·

Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.

·

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

·

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the interim condensed standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

·

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim condensed standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim condensed standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the interim condensed standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the interim condensed standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the interim condensed standalone financial statements.

We also communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

The interim condensed standalone financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on January 16, 2025.

 

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

These interim condensed standalone financial statements are prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accordingly, these interim condensed standalone financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed standalone financial statements should be read in conjunction with the standalone financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.

 

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed standalone financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.

 

As the quarter and year-end figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-end figures reported in this statement.

 

1.3 Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the interim condensed standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed standalone financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note no. 1.4. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgements are reflected in the interim condensed standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed standalone financial statements.

 

1.4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

a. Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Company assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement.

 

Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Company’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.

 

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Company is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Company is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Company considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

b. Income taxes

 

The Company's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.

 

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. (Refer to note 2.16).

 

c. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. (Refer to note 2.1).

 

 

2.1 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Accounting Policy

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

 

The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

Building(1)	22-25 years
Plant and machinery(1)	5 years
Office equipment	5 years
Computer equipment(1)	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures(1)	5 years
Vehicles(1)	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term

(1)

Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

 

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.

 

Impairment

 

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the interim condensed Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the interim condensed Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

2.2.2 Other Intangible Assets

 

Accounting Policy

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to prepare the asset for its intended use.

 

 

2.3 LEASES

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Company as a lessee

 

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

As a lessee, the Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Infosys’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

 

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

 

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

 

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

 

The Company as a lessor

 

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.10.1 Initial recognition

 

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

 

2.10.2 Subsequent measurement

 

a. Non-derivative financial instruments

 

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

(ii) Financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for certain investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

 

(iii) Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

 

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

 

(iv) Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

(v) Investment in subsidiaries

 

Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the separate financial statements.

 

b. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.

 

(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.

 

Although the Company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the Balance Sheet date.

 

(ii) Cash flow hedge

 

Primarily, the Company designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions.

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedge reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedge reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve is transferred to the net profit in the condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified to net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

2.10.3 Derecognition of financial instruments

 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

2.10.4 Fair value of financial instruments

 

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing model, market multiples, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

 

Refer to table 'Financial instruments by category' below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

2.10.5 Impairment

 

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenues which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

 

The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Company considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Company deals with and the countries where it operates.

 

The amount of ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in statement of profit and loss.

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2024 is as follows:

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance-based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options. The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.

 

The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Particulars	For options granted in
	Fiscal 2025- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2025- ADR-RSU	Fiscal 2024- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2024- ADR-RSU

Risk-free interest rate (%)	7	4-5	7	4-5
Weighted average fair value as on grant date () / ($ ADS)	1,319	16.94	1,317	16.27

 

 

The expected life of the RSU/ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU/ESOP, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU/ESOP.

2.15 PROVISIONS

 

Accounting Policy

 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

 

a. Post-sales client support

 

The Company provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

 

b. Onerous contracts

 

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

2.16 INCOME TAXES

 

Accounting Policy

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.

 

Income tax expense in the statement of Profit and Loss comprises:

2.17 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Company derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Company’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”). Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-timeframe basis.

 

Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved in writing, by the parties, to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services (“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.

 

The Company assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Company estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.

 

The Company’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Company includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Company’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended are used to determine progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contracts and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as "unearned revenues").

 

In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation, the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Company measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Company uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses.

 

Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Company is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Company uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.

 

Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.

 

Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). When implementation services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations, the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Company uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period in which the services are rendered.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Company is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Company is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Company considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.

 

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them.

 

Certain eligible, nonrecurring costs (e.g. set-up or transition or transformation costs) that do not represent a separate performance obligation are recognized as an asset when such costs (a) relate directly to the contract; (b) generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.

 

Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to expenses over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.

 

The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

Revenue from operations for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Revenue from software services	34,631	32,405	101,648	96,697
Revenue from products and platforms	284	86	807	235
Total revenue from operations	34,915	32,491	102,455	96,932

 

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 59% and 58%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 58% and 56% respectively.

 

Trade receivables and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, unbilled revenue, and unearned revenue on the Company’s Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.

 

The Company’s receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is due only after a passage of time.

 

Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore unbilled revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.

 

Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

 

Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the Balance Sheet.

 

 

2.18 OTHER INCOME, NET

 

2.18.1 Other income

 

Accounting Policy

 

Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain / loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

 

2.18.2 Foreign currency

 

Accounting Policy

 

Functional currency

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).

 

Transactions and translations

 

Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss and reported within exchange gains/(losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate.

 

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

 

Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

Government grant

 

The Company recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

 

Other income for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

2.19 EXPENSES

 

Accounting Policy

 

2.19.1 Gratuity and Pension

 

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible Indian employees of Infosys. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Company. The Company contributes Gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.

 

The Company operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement and / or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.

 

Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.

 

The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

2.19.2 Provident fund

 

Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate.

 

2.19.3 Superannuation

 

Certain employees of Infosys are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Company has no further obligations to the Plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

 

2.19.4 Compensated absences

 

The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an external actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

2.20 BASIC AND DILUTED SHARES USED IN COMPUTING EARNINGS PER EQUITY SHARE

 

Accounting Policy

 

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

 

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

 

 

2.21 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

 

Accounting Policy

 

Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.   Amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax claims amounted to 3,117 crore and 8,273 crore as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their own respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

·

Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.

 

·

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

·

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

·

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim condensed consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

·

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of which we are independent auditors.

 

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

 

Accounting policy

 

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. The Group considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

Overview and notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Overview

 

1.1 Company overview

 

Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.

 

Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is hereinafter referred to as the "Group".

 

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on January 16, 2025.

 

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting , under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.

 

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.

 

As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in this statement.

 

1.3 Basis of consolidation

 

Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

 

The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Company, are excluded.

 

1.4 Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note no. 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgements are reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

a. Revenue recognition

 

The Group’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgment.

 

Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and the Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.

 

The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgment and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

 

b. Income taxes

 

The Group's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.

 

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced (Refer to Notes 2.15).

 

c. Business combinations and intangible assets

 

Business combinations are accounted for using Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind AS 103 requires us to fair value identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Management (Refer to Note 2.1 and 2.3.2).

 

d. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by the Management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to Note 2.2).

 

e. Impairment of Goodwill

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGUs) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

 

The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins (Refer to note 2.3).

 

2. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

2.1 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

Accounting policy

 

Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.

 

The purchase price in an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase price also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.

 

Business combinations between entities under common control is accounted for at carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 

The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognized.

 

Acquisition

 

InSemi

 

On May 10, 2024, Infosys Ltd acquired 100% voting interests in InSemi Technology Services Private Limited, a semiconductor design services company headquartered in India. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our expertise in semiconductor ecosystem and Engineering R&D services.

 

The purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

#

The estimated useful life is around 1 year to 5 years

 

The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill. The primary items that generated this goodwill are the value of the acquired assembled workforce and estimated synergies, neither of which qualify as an intangible asset.

 

Goodwill is not tax-deductible.

 

The purchase consideration of 198 crore includes cash of 168 crore and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of 30 crore as on the date of acquisition.

 

At the acquisition date, the key inputs used in determination of the fair value of contingent consideration are the probabilities assigned towards achievement of financial targets and discount rate of 5.9%. The undiscounted value of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2024 was 33 crore.

 

Additionally, this acquisition has retention bonus and management incentive payable to the employees of the acquiree over three years, subject to their continuous employment with the Group and achievement of financial targets for the respective years.

The transaction costs of 4 crore related to the acquisition have been included under administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

 

 

2.2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Accounting policy

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

Buildings (1)	22-25 years
Plant and machinery (1)(2)	5 years
Office equipment	5 years
Computer equipment (1)	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures (1)	5 years
Vehicles(1)	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term

(1)

Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013

(2)

Includes Solar plant with a useful life of 25 years

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

 

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.

 

Impairment

 

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

The changes in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

 

 

2.3 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

2.3.1 Goodwill

 

Accounting policy

 

Goodwill represents the purchase consideration in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized in capital reserve. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Impairment

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.

 

Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	As at
	December 31, 2024	March 31, 2024
Carrying value at the beginning	7,303	7,248
Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.1)	2,593	–
Translation differences	39	55
Carrying value at the end	9,935	7,303

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

 

2.3.2 Intangible Assets

 

Accounting policy

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to prepare the asset for its intended use.

 

Impairment

 

Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Accounting policy

 

2.10.1 Initial recognition

 

The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

 

2.10.2 Subsequent measurement

 

a. Non-derivative financial instruments

 

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

(ii) Financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable election for certain investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

 

(iii) Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

 

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

 

(iv) Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

b. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.

 

(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.

 

Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the Balance Sheet date.

 

(ii) Cash flow hedge

 

Primarily, the Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions.

 

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

2.10.3 Derecognition of financial instruments

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

 

2.10.4 Fair value of financial instruments

 

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing model, market multiples, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

 

Refer to table 'Financial instruments by category' below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

2.10.5 Impairment

 

The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

 

The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.

 

The amount of ECL (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.

 

The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.

 

The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

Particulars	For options granted in
	Fiscal 2025- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2025- ADS-RSU	Fiscal 2024- Equity Shares-RSU	Fiscal 2024- ADS-RSU

Risk-free interest rate (%)	7	4-5	7	4-5
Weighted average fair value as on grant date () / ($ ADS)	1,319	16.94	1,317	16.27

 

The expected life of the RSU/ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU/ESOP, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU/ESOP.

2.14 PROVISIONS

 

Accounting policy

 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

 

a. Post sales client support

 

The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.

 

b. Onerous contracts

 

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 

 

2.15 INCOME TAXES

 

Accounting policy

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.

 

The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.

 

Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss comprises:

The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.

 

 

2.16 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS

 

Accounting policy

 

The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”) and business process management services. Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-timeframe basis.

 

Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved in writing by the parties, to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services (“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.

 

The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.

 

The Group’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and the Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended are used to determine progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contracts and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

 

In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation, the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses.

 

Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.

 

Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license are made available to the customer. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.

 

Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS).When implementation services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations, the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period in which the services are rendered.

 

Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.

 

A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects to recover them.

 

Certain eligible, nonrecurring costs (e.g. set-up or transition or transformation costs) that do not represent a separate performance obligation are recognized as an asset when such costs (a) relate directly to the contract; (b) generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.

 

Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to expenses over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.

 

The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

Revenue from operation for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Revenue from software services	39,766	36,767	116,395	109,221
Revenue from products and platforms	1,998	2,054	5,669	6,527
Total revenue from operations	41,764	38,821	122,064	115,748

 

Products & platforms

The Group also derives revenues from the sale of products and platforms like Finacle – core banking solution, Edge Suite of products, Panaya platform, Stater digital platform and Infosys McCamish – insurance platform.

 

Disaggregated revenue information

 

Revenue disaggregation by business segments has been included in segment information (Refer to Note 2.23). The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by geography and contract type. The Group believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.

 

For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2024	2023

*

Geographical revenue is based on the domicile of customer

 

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 55% and 55%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is 54% and 53%, respectively.

 

Trade Receivables and Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, unbilled revenue, and unearned revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.

 

The Group’s receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is due only after a passage of time.

 

Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore unbilled revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.

 

Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

 

Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

 

2.17 OTHER INCOME, NET

 

Accounting policy

 

Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

 

Foreign currency

 

Accounting policy

 

Functional currency

 

The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).

Transactions and translations

 

Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and reported within exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate.

 

Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

 

The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity.

 

Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date.

 

Government grant

 

The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

 

Other income for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

 

(In crore)

Particulars	Three months ended December 31,		Nine months ended December 31,

2.18 EXPENSES

 

Accounting policy

 

Gratuity and Pensions

 

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees majorly of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group. The Company contributes Gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.

 

The Group operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement and/or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.

 

Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.

 

The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

Provident fund

 

Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.

 

In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.

 

Superannuation

 

Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

 

Compensated absences

 

The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an external actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

2.19 Leases

 

Accounting Policy

 

The Group as a lessee

 

The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

As a lessee, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

 

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

 

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

 

Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

 

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

 

The Group as a lessor

 

Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

 

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.20 BASIC AND DILUTED SHARES USED IN COMPUTING EARNINGS PER EQUITY SHARE

 

Accounting policy

 

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

 

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

 

 

2.21 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

 

Accounting policy

 

Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

2.21.1 Contingent liability

 

(In crore)

Particulars	As at
	December 31, 2024	March 31, 2024
Contingent liabilities :
Claims against the Group, not acknowledged as debts(1)	3,737	3,583
[Amount paid to statutory authorities 3,509 crore (8,754 crore)]

 

(1)

As at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts in respect of income tax matters amounted to 2,915 crore and 2,794 crore, respectively.

 

The claims against the Group primarily represent demands arising on completion of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations.

 

Amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax claims amounted to 3,500 crore and 8,743 crore as at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

2.21.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident

 

In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the non-availability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.

 

Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.

 

2.21.3 Legal Proceedings

 

From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The actions arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. All six actions have since been consolidated, and the consolidated class action complaint was filed on November 7, 2024, purportedly on behalf of all persons residing in the United States whose personally identifiable information was compromised in the incident, including all who were sent a notice of the incident. On December 20, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to stay proceedings pending the parties’ efforts to resolve the lawsuit through mediation.

 

Apart from legal proceedings and claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.

2.23 SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Ind AS 108, Operating segments, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the accounting policies.

 

Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial services reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of the economic characteristics. All other segments represent the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services.

 

Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China and other enterprises in Public services. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation and amortization, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.

 

Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

 

Business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.

 

Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations is given in note 2.16 Revenue from operations.
