Cyient's 1QFY18 revenue declined 0.24% QoQ to USD140.65mn v/s our estimates of USD142.7mn. Services business reported good growth of 3.1% sequentially whereas DLM business disappointed with a sharp decline of 26% sequentially. Growth within service business was led by communication, semiconductor and transportation growing at 10%, 11% and 11.7% respectively. We expect traction to continue in communication and transportation with growth slowing down in semiconductor vertical due to increased off shore. Management remains confident of achieving 20% YoY growth for DLM Business for the full year. Margins were in line with our estimates at 12.8%, down 50bps sequentially due to wage hike, rupee appreciation and decline of margins within DLM Business. We cut our earning to Rs.36.4 and Rs.43.4 from Rs.40.09 and Rs.44.05 earlier for FY18E and FY19E respectively due to increase in tax rate. We await a sustained revival in the core service business .
