ADD Infosys (INFO) Technology DECEMBER 23, 2013 UPDATE Coverage view: Attractive An exit that would hurt. V Balakrishnan, Member of the Infosys Board, has resigned, Price (`): 3,551 marking the eighth senior management exit in six months. The magnitude of exits could Target price (`): 3,750 create leadership vacuum. What is disappointing is the inability of the organization to BSE-30: 21,080 retain core team members. This perhaps indicates that the internal challenges are significantly higher than our initial assessment. We believe that the impact of exits could be felt in the medium term. Returns in this stock may be capped, especially after strong recent performance and increasing concerns on efficacy of reorganization.

Yield (%) 1.3 1.9 2.3 Another exit and perhaps the most disappointing one; challenges more than what we expected Mr Balakrishnan was assigned multiple portfolios in the past six months, including (1) deal-level profitability. Power to set deal pricing was taken from business finance teams assigned to each vertical and centralized under Mr Balakrishnan, (2) charge of North America Utilities and Resources and (3) Chairman of Lodestone. His departure after assuming fresh responsibilities is surprising. While his portfolios will be reassigned, what is worrying for us is the inability of the company to retain core talent, even the ones that enjoyed trust of the Board and were considered to be in contention for the role of the CEO. This has worrying implications for employee morale. Exits of core members indicate that the internal challenges are more than what we had anticipated. Exits happen in any reorganization but the pace of it is disturbing We have consistently maintained that exits are inevitable in any reorganization. The pace of exits is surely more than what we had expected. The current pace of exits could possibly impact business momentum. Replacements are equally important. The challenges for Infosys are – (1) constant reorganization has led to accelerated drain of management talent and (2) the organization does not appear to be open to absorbing external talent at the senior management level. It is plausible that the company has strong leadership bench strength; however, to burden the current leadership with more portfolios instead of promoting new leaders indicates a lack of depth or confidence. Thesis on Infosys could change if exits do not stop Our positive stance was led by improving demand environment that will give Infosys breathing space to fix internal challenges, likely improvement in execution that will help catch up in revenues and also improve profitability. The thesis requires strong execution for it to play out. We would characterize execution up to now as mixed with good work done on stabilizing the operational model and decisions on cost rationalization. This has been partly offset by some disappointments with repetition of mistakes of the past such as aggregation of responsibilities and not assigning roles in optimal manner. Strong recent stock performance along with continued exits of senior leadership will cap returns for now. For private Circulation Only.
