India’s second largest IT company in terms of market capitalisation, Infosys announced its quarterly financial result for Q1 FY23 on 24th July 2022.
Infosys reported a stable growth in its net profit, which increased 3.17% YoY (year on year) to Rs. 5,360 crores in Q1 FY23 from Rs. 5,197 crores in Q1 FY22. The revenue from operations of the company came in at Rs. 34,470 crores, jumping 23% YoY from Rs. 27,896 crores reported in the same quarter of the previous year.
Operating profits in Q1 FY23 were published at Rs. 6,914 crores, up 4.7% YoY from Rs. 6,603 crores in Q1 FY22. The operating profit margin, however, came in at 20.1%, down 3.6% from 23.6% on a yearly basis. On a quarterly basis, the margin has slipped by 1.4% (quarter on quarter) from the 21.5% reported in Q4 FY22. This may be attributed to increased outgo on account of transport costs, employee retention costs and higher payouts the company has been forced to take given the tough overall environment the IT industry faces. The company hasn't made a marked comment yet.
Other incomes in this quarter rose 8.2% YoY to Rs. 620 crores from Rs. 573 crores in Q1 FY22.
