margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- The company targets an annual growth rate of 25-30% over the next 8-10 years, aiming for consistent revenue expansion despite a growing base (Page 6). - Margins have improved significantly, from ~9-10% in Dec 2021 to ~18-19% currently, driven by higher international business with ~50-55% gross margins and increased product revenues, especially cloud-based recurring business which tends to be higher margin (Pages 12-13). - Expansion of international business, especially in the cloud and AI transformation areas, is expected to drive further growth and margin improvement (Pages 3, 17). - Some cost impact is expected in the short term due to team expansion, but the impact on margins should not be significant, as increased headcount supports revenue growth (Page 15). - Long-term focus on digital transformation and AI is likely to enhance profitability as enterprise adoption matures (Page 3). - Management is cautiously optimistic about continuing strong growth but notes challenges ahead (Page 11).

orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- The company does not specifically track or report an order book due to the nature of its project-based business. - Unlike resource augmentation models (which track people booked for periods), their model is project-centric. - A rough estimate of the current order book is "certainly a couple of million dollars." - Ajay Mian suggests that providing exact order book numbers may not be meaningful. - The business focuses on digital transformation projects rather than fixed-duration resource bookings.
