The growth rates for IT Services vendors have declined to single digits now as disruptive technologies bring
structural headwinds into play. However, the software product companies are seeing an inflection point on
growth driven by investment in front end technologies which is driving adoption of software products based on
latest technologies. Whilst we are aware that there have not been a single case of successful software company
since OFSS, we also take cognizance of the fact that couple of Indian software companies, namely Intellect
Design Arena and Majesco have consistently invested in R&D over the last many years and have built strong
products and due to these investments in the business they are seeing strong revenue growth. The market
opportunity for both Intellect and Majesco is similar at around $9bn with market growing at similar rate of 8%.
We reiterate BUY on Intellect with target price of Rs290 and initiate coverage on Majesco with BUY and target
price of Rs720. OFSS on the other hand has suffered due to hike in prices and loss of focus post acquisition by
Oracle Corp and has suffered from dwindling growth rates. Initiate with SELL and target price of Rs.3,020.
Growth will be seen more with smaller vendors and not the established ones
An issue that has become clear over time is that established suppliers are seldom the source of new systems. They
seem unable to rewrite their core offerings. Innovation has tended to come from smaller players, often set up by ex-staff
of large suppliers. The incumbent suppliers do not seem to have culture of innovation. Though they continue to invest in
R&D, it is largely around their core offerings. They also have the complication of existing user bases, from both the
perspective of having to satisfy the demands of current customers as well as the challenge of positioning their new
development is such a way as to not jeopardise sales of existing applications. New product companies doesn’t come
with these baggage and product is based on latest technology which drives user acceptance.
Market opportunity is large and growing with medium term growth drivers in place
The current market opportunity for the third party banking and insurance software providers stands roughly around $9bn
and is expected to grow at the rate of 8% over the next three years. This is largely being driven by investments in front
end digital solutions as consumer banking, payments and remittances, and digital banking would face maximum
disruption in the banking segment and clients wants to be prepared for this thus making investments. On the insurance
segment, growth is completely driven by investments in digital technologies such as social media, telematics and
analytics that are redefining the insurance market.
Key Ideas – BUY on Intellect and Majesco and SELL on OFSS
Most of the decline in the stock price of the Intellect can be attributed to accounting policy change of capitalizing the
development portion of the R&D expenses. We would like to argue that accounting policy change if followed
consistently and disclosed properly, doesn’t have a bearing on long term valuations of the company. On OFSS, with all
its key markets saturating and loss of focus post acquisition by Oracle in 2005, the proportion of licence fees has fallen
from 47% in FY03 to 16% in FY16. We see growth stagnating in OFSS’ markets of Africa and Asia Pac and believe
large wins in the US will be difficult to come by. By not cutting the R&D investments in a weak growth period, Majesco is
now reaping the benefits as the market is growing and so is order book and revenues.

The systems that have often gone into decline in larger companies
have had complications of positioning and/or departing of key
individuals. Companies such as Temenos, Avaloq, Calypso and
Murex mostly succeed or fail based on their efforts with their clear
flagship solutions. If we were to quote IBS sales league table from
Jan-Dec 2014 published in March 2015, 9 of the top 10 selling
suppliers have one clear flagship platform. The only exception is
SunGard, that gained 10 wins from its Ambit Treasury System.
Hence, in our view, the third party software market has moved more
towards module based selling and this is precisely the reason behind
smaller vendors like Intellect showing stronger growth.

An issue that has become clear over time is that established suppliers are seldom the source of new systems. They seem
unable to rewrite their core offerings. Innovation has tended to come from smaller players, often set up by ex-staff of large
suppliers. Examples are Frustum (Ex-IMMS), Calypso (Ex-Infinity) and more recently, Trapedza (Ex-Kindle) and TwoFour
Systems (Ex-Frustum/Misys). The incumbent suppliers do not seem to have culture of innovation. BIS for instance tried to
rewrite in the late 1980s of Midas. IBIs tried to rewrite its system in the second half of 1990s. They also have the complication
of existing user bases, from both the perspective of having to satisfy the demands of current customers as well as the
challenge of positioning their new development is such a way as to not jeopardise sales of existing applications.
Smaller players like Intellect are better placed than OFSS to innovate new products
The latest to try a rewrite is OFSS with its new platform called Oracle Banking Platform (OBF) with Australia based NAB and
Suncorp as its first takers. At least OFSS had scale on its side but history and data till date suggest that it will be a difficult
task to achieve. Only two vendors have tried to rewrite their code and succeeded. First one is Lebanon based BML Istisharat
which rewrote its ICBS system and has a relatively flexible modern solution. The second example is Norway based CBA
which has done the same with its IBAS offering, resulting in Java based Object Oriented Solution (OOS). This is one reason
why new start-up companies like Intellect might win over OFSS. However, even for start-ups even with experienced founders,
there is no guarantee of success though the chances are higher. The only challenge is facing an uphill task not just initially
but possibly over time due to having to compete with massed sales and R&D staff of established companies.
Rewriting the systems is difficult to be a success
Reasons why smaller players are recording strong growth and larger players are either stagnant or
growing through acquisitions

A number of technology companies have also been encroaching such as those with pricing and billing engines, extending from telecoms and public utilities sector into banking. BPM components have also become important from the likes of Oracle, Pega Systems, IBM, ILOG (now owned by IBM) and Microsoft with banks seeking to apply these to provide greater flexibility and agility. Oracle components have been increasingly embedded into Flexcube and BPM tools are more generally playing a greater role in back offices of some banks, sometimes due to regulatory reasons and often due to operational control and documentations.
Increased role of technology
There might be a swing back to in-house development in some banks using the mix and match approach where packages are surrounded by home grown components with these home grown components being competitive in nature. There has been a small but seemingly growing number of banks around this in-house development. Example are Belgian Bank, Bank J Van Breda, which rejected the package route in 2015. A bigger example would be HSBC’s transformation plans, with its OneHSBC strategy, which ended up with strong in-house development after packages were largely rejected, at least for core banking.
Hybrid model entailing in-house and third party packages
There has also been growing demand for hosted back office solutions. In the last couple of years, there has been a pick-up in momentum including more suppliers setting up hosted solutions such as ERI and FiServ in the UK, FIS in Poland and Avaloq in number of centres around the globe. However, some suppliers remain wedded to their traditional license fees models but now is the time when they should see a business case despite knowing that they are making good margins on maintenance revenues by not doing a lot each year.

Why we prefer Intellect Design over OFSS
•We expect Intellect Design to register growth rates of ~20-25% in the next 3 years while OFSS’ revenue growth is expected to grow ~4-5%
Revenue growth
•An issue that has become clear over time is that established suppliers like OFSS are seldom the source of new systems. Innovation has tend to come from smaller players, often set up by ex-staff of large suppliers. Established players also have the complication of existing user bases, from both the perspective of having to satisfy the demands of current customers as well as the challenge of positioning their new development in such a way as to not jeopardize sales of existing applications
Product portfolio
•With continued investments in R&D, the product portfolio of Intellect Design is equipped with newer technologies, while OFSS has witnessed declining trend in the investments which is affecting the product performance
Investments
•We expect Intellect Design to register strong margins and improved cash flows with a steady progress in deal wins and installations

Continuation of moderate activity keeps downward pressure on pricing. Only a very large and unexpected event (or events) has the potential to be market-changing
After years of relative calm, a big loss event could be more likely

Most of the product companies follow almost similar accounting policies for License, AMC and Implementation fees. Only difference is R&D
expenses which few companies capitalize and few companies expense out. However, if capitalized R&D and R&D expensed out are separately
disclosed, then it doesn’t impact long term valuations. For example Temenos capitalizes R&D while OFSS expenses out R&D, but still Temenos
trades at 40% premium to OFSS due to high growth.

Company Update The stock of Intellect Design Arena (INDA) has declined 27% since the start of CY16. The bulk of the decline has
been due to revenue miss in Q3 and Q4FY16 coupled with accounting policy change of capitalizing the
development portion of the R&D expenses. We would like to argue that accounting policy change if followed
consistently and disclosed properly doesn’t have a bearing on long term valuations of the company – example
Temenos. The longer term valuations of the company is impacted by growth – example OFSS, and with Intellect
growing 25% in FY16 and poised to grow 20-25% in FY17 and FY18, we only see multiples improving with
consistent revenue growth and improving profitability. Reiterate BUY with target price of Rs290.
Expect consistent revenue growth of ~20-25% over the next 3 years
Capitalisation of R&D expenses is not a cause of concern and should be best ignored: In our view street has
focussed too much on the capitalisation of development portion of the R&D expense. This is the first accounting policy
change at Intellect and until it is followed consistently and disclosed properly, it won’t have any major impact on long
term valuations of the company. Temenos also capitalises development expenses but discloses the capitalised
development portion consistently every quarter and still trades at 40% premium to OFSS due to higher growth.
Why was it done in 4QFY16, why not adopt change from new fiscal? In our view the only reason why this
accounting change was done in the last quarter of the year and now from new fiscal would be to show lower losses for
FY16 and to show that the company has turned profitable. In many banking deals it becomes difficult for loss making
companies to qualify for the deals. Doing this from Q4FY16 might help INDA to qualify for certain deals and hence it is
more of a business decision in our view.
Revenue growth trajectory improving: Over the last three years INDA has grown its revenues by a CAGR of 12%
with bulk of the growth coming in FY16 (25%) and FY15 (12.5%). Over the next three years the focus is to sell more
products to existing clients thereby increasing products per client from 1.3 currently to 2.5. This is being done by giving
full P&L responsibility to four different product CEOs of the product they lead. These four different product CEOs are
having separate sales team and separate functional R&D team bringing accountability. We expect 25% revenue CAGR
over the next three years.
Margins might improve but investments to continue: To drive profitability, INDA has partnered with various IT
vendors throughout FY16. While we do expect margins to improve by 200bps in FY17 and further 200bps in FY18,
investments in the business especially in sales and marketing and R&D will continue.
Growth matters, not accounting policy change

Initiating Coverage Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS), a 75% subsidiary of US listed Oracle Corporation, is India’s most
successful software product company. However, with all its key markets saturating and loss of focus post
acquisition by Oracle in 2005, the proportion of licence fees has fallen from 47% in FY03 to 16% in FY16.
However, a weak INR has provided a floor and held up margins. We see growth stagnating in OFSS’ markets of
Africa and Asia Pac and believe large wins in the US will be difficult to come by. Ever since Oracle Corp.
acquired a majority stake, investors have viewed OFSS as a candidate for delisting. However, with OFSS now
distributing majority of its cash as dividend over the last two years, we don’t see it getting delisted. Currency
depreciation and poor positioning from parent’s point of view (core banking market versus parent trying to
outplay CRM etc) also makes delisting a costly affair. OFSS might be a tactical play in income funds for dividend
due to cash flows rather than growth funds. Initiate with SELL and target price of Rs.3,020 (at 20x FY18 EPS)
Organic revenue growth to remain a challenge
US core banking market is difficult to break through: Despite having a strong parent like Oracle Corp which has a
strong presence in US and OFSS has managed to leverage its parent S&M team, it has failed to make any inroads in
US third party banking software market. The US market is dominated by four players (FIS, FiServ, Jack Henry and
D+H), which together have a 96% market share. We believe the top four vendors have a significant competitive
advantage (they understand the processes and systems of US-based banks better and this significantly reduces the
risks of disruption during implementation). Vendors like OFSS, Infosys and Temenos among others have launched
modular systems to reduce the implementation risk, however this is unlikely to erode the competitive advantage the top
four enjoy. Moreover there aren’t many meaningful large scale US-based implementation references for OFSS.
OBP has not seen much success: In 2012, OFSS’s new platform Oracle Banking Platform (OBP) won two contracts
– Both from Australia (NAB and Sun Corp Bank). After that over the last three years OBP has not seen any new
implementations as per IBS. Established suppliers are seldom the source of new systems as they seem unable to
rewrite their core offerings and innovation has largely come from smaller vendors. This can be attributed to lower
spending on R&D (10%) which is lesser compared to ~15-20% of Temenos, Guidewire, Intellect and Ramco.
Return ratios not that different from an IT services company: Oracle is a product company and arguments for high
multiples for non-linear growth have prevailed for some time now. While it continues to trade at a premium to IT
services companies, a closer look at IT Services peers suggest that on return profile, cash flows and growth, OFSS is
not materially different from a pure play IT services vendor.
Nothing much to cheer about

OFSS’ product revenues registered negative growth rates during the
last four years due to lower growth and maturity in the key markets,
primarily EMEA and Asia Pacific. Together these two regions
contributed ~71% of the product revenues in FY16
For OFSS, the license contribution to the product revenues has
declined from 47% in FY03 to merely 16% in FY16, while competitors
like Temenos were able to contain the decline to moderate levels. This
declining trend gives further clues of maturing market scenario

The US core banking software product market is characterized by the presence of few large players who take the bulk of market share (~96% of the market share is from FIS, FiServ, Jack Henry and Davis+Henderson)
For OFSS, it’s hard to overcome the competitive advantage of local vendors. Vendors like OFSS, Infosys, Temenos and others are trying to increase penetration in the US market by launching modular core banking offerings, in an effort to reduce the pain of complete migration, but this does not beat the key competitive advantage of the top 4 US based vendors
We do not feel that OFSS has many options to get a foothold in the US market by acquiring US based players and growing inorganically
Despite being in the home market of parent company, Oracle was not able to make significant inroads into the market
US Market
The African market was initially lucrative for OFSS (contributing to 33% of product revenues in FY03 and 25% average from FY04 to FY09) to sell banking software products, but the competitors were able to dent OFSS’ grip on the market over time.
One of the reasons why OFSS loss market share in Africa was that its parent Oracle Corp was not sufficiently interested in pursuing smaller banks in Africa and also the implementation was shifted to the third party. The high price levels also resulted in further loss of share
From FY13, the African market numbers are reported by clubbing with Europe market. While this restricts our ability to make an inference, our check in the industry suggests that Africa has lagged growth in the recent years
African Market
Higher growth in Asia Pacific (includes Australia) is driven by a number of successes in Australia. We believe OFSS’ largest client is based out of Australia and the product revenue growth has largely been contributed by this client.
Most large Australian banks have recently migrated to a new core banking software and this restricts growth from the Australian market in near to medium term
For China, we note that most of the banks have migrated to a new core banking software in the last decade and hence any more large scale changes may not be on the anvil

An issue that has become clear over time is that established suppliers are seldom the source of new systems. They seem unable to rewrite their core offerings. Innovation has tended to come from smaller players, often set up by ex-staff of large suppliers. Examples are Frustum (Ex-IMMS), Calypso (Ex-Infinity) and more recently, Trapedza (Ex-Kindle) and TwoFour Systems (Ex-Frustum/Misys). The incumbent suppliers do not seem to have culture of innovation. BIS for instance tried to rewrite in the late 1980s of Midas. IBIs tried to rewrite its system in the second half of 1990s. They also have the complication of existing user bases, from both the perspective of having to satisfy the demands of current customers as well as the challenge of positioning their new development is such a way as to not jeopardise sales of existing applications.
Smaller players like Intellect are better placed than OFSS to innovate new products
The latest to try a rewrite is OFSS with its new platform called Oracle Banking Platform (OBF) with Australia based NAB and Suncorp as its first takers. Atleast OFSS had scale on its side but history and data till date suggest that it will be a difficult task to achieve. Only two vendors have tried to rewrite their code and succeeded. First one is Lebanon based BML Istisharat which rewrote its ICBS system and has a relatively flexible modern solution. The second example is Norway based CBA which has done the same with its IBAS offering, resulting in Java based Object Oriented Solution (OOS). This is one reason why new startup companies like Intellect might win over OFSS. However, even for startups even with experienced founders, there is no guarantee of success though the chances are higher. The only challenge is facing an uphill task not just initially but possibly over time due to having to compete with massed sales and R&D staff of established companies.
Rewriting the systems is difficult to be a success
Oracle acquisition of iFlex was quite notable and was the first instance of a major technology company coming into a core banking space by acquiring its own IPR. The deal had caused major worry among the core systems supplier that had previously viewed Oracle as an independent technology partner. While on the positive side the deal was supposed to bring greater reach and increasing incorporation of Oracle components with Flexcube coupled with reversal on iFlex position on partners whereby it sought to provide all services by itself, over the last 10 years we have only seen OFSS leveraging on S&M and G&A though Oracle’s acquisition but not being able to make any major inroads in the US Geography despite having a strong US based parent. On the flip side, there has been a loss of focus, loss of market share driven by hike in price and watering down of previously strong i-Flex’s culture and drive

Oracle parentage should help get US entry – a common investor argument
We don’t subscribe to this argument entirely as this does not address how OFSS will beat the key competitive advantage of the top 4 US-based vendors
as highlighted earlier.
OFSS launched its new core banking system, Oracle Banking Platform (OBP), on 18 September 2012 in New York. The company states that OBP is
designed for upper-tier banks looking to manage transformational projects. The new OBP complements the current OFSS FlexCube core banking solution.
The solution targets large banks in key developed markets that have deployed various versions of Computer Sciences Corporation’s Hogan, FIS’
Systematics, legacy or home grown solutions, and to compete with SAP and newer solutions.
We note that Citi is not a reference client in the US as all implementations with Citi are outside of the US. OFSS has one reference client for the OBP
solution based in Australia (National Australia Bank), but the implementation already seen significant cost and time overruns based on media reports
The learnings from implementing in an Australia based bank are unlikely to aid OFSS’ push to win deals in the US. We understand that OFSS has 3 to 4
banking clients in the US; however, these banks are too small to give any comfort on implementation for a large US-based bank. OFSS needs wins and
successful implementations in the US to drive a virtuous win cycle, which given the current competitive dynamics in the US seems challenging. We expect
the revenue share from US to move within a narrow band.
OFSS’ DNA and priorities have changed post the acquisition by Oracle in FY06. The key changes being :
Strong focus on products
Increasing instances of implementation done by third party
Moving away from services
AMC charges now aligned to Oracle standards
These changes have happened as Oracle is more interested in selling licences than services. Points 2 and 3 above have a negative impact on revenue
growth. Moving away from services and implementation reduces the number of revenue streams available for growth

About 13% of OFSS’ revenues came from IT services in FY16. However, it only accounts for 4% of
EBIT as EBIT margins in the services business is less than half of products business (13% versus
48% in services). We note that services revenues have declined by 6% CAGR in last 10 years in USD
terms (2.4% CAGR decline in INR terms).
Our conversation with industry participants indicates that over the years, the focus on IT services
by OFSS has decreased and management is more interested in the licence revenues in line with
strategy of Oracle Corporation. Even focus on implementing products has reduced and OFSS wants
to get the implementation done by third party.
The mind-set of a product company is very different from a services company and, given the
competition that the services segment is witnessing, it is very tough to hold onto pricing and OFSS
has let go of clients which wanted rate cuts (which in turn has resulted in revenues declining). As
with products, the decline in revenues was compensated by cutting operational costs by leveraging
Oracle’s workforce. Lastly, management remuneration is based on signing of new licences, so focus
is only on products and not services.

competitors abroad like Temenos and Misys. However, on a 10-year
comparison it is quite clear that gross margins of OFSS have declined
from 64% to 61% while that of Temenos has increased from 61% to 71%.
One of the biggest competitive advantages for OFSS was the lower
manpower costs and we believe that this explains the cost-
competitiveness.
There are two components for OFSS’ cost savings: (1) development
costs, the cost of doing R&D in India, and (2) implementation costs, which
are lower as OFSS manages an efficient onsite-offshore model. However,
with time the development cost arbitrage has reduced and competitors
have shifted development work to India. We understand most of
Temenos’ development work also happens out of India.
While EBITDA margins are still ~1.5x that of Temenos, we believe that this differential is due to aggressive cost cutting by OFSS, with most of the Selling

Significant cut in S&M expenses, leveraging parent’s sales force
Source: OFSS, Spark Capital
Levers to sustain product margins have been utilised in our view
With growth on a declining trend, margins should have headed south. However, OFSS cut its sales and marketing expenses (S&M) by 11% from 21% of
total product revenues in FY06 to 10% in FY16 and general and administration expenses (G&A) by 4% from 6% of total product revenues in FY06 to 3%
FY16 to maintain EBITDA margins at 10 year average of 42%. We believe this is the maximum that OFSS can cut on S&M and G&A and it has utilised all
its margin levers by cutting S&M expenses (with growth on a declining trend) and leveraging its parent’s sales personnel and cut flab in its G&A
G&A expenses has also been cut significantly

As can be seen from the charts below, OFSS appears in the bottom half on sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. This has been
done by leveraging its parent’s (Oracle Corporation) sales force. While its peers like FIS have seen spending on overheads increase by 10% CAGR over
last 5 years, OFSS overhead costs have remained at 6.6%. While it is difficult for us to argue that this is not sustainable, we think this was the key margin
lever in a low growth phase and that has been utilised fully in our view.

Rs.3,461 Valuation Methodology
Oracle is a product company and arguments for high multiples for non-linear growth have prevailed for some time now. But a closer look at IT Services
peers suggest that on return profile, cash flows and growth, OFSS is not materially different from a pure play IT services vendor
As can be seen from the table below OFSS is amongst the most expensive stock to own when compared with peers who have broader services offerings
and high annuity revenues. We have taken consensus estimates for US-based service providers and Temenos. Given that OFSS is a net cash company
with no acquisitions while others have grown via leveraging acquisitions, we have made comparison on EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA and EV/ EBIT. We find that
OFSS have the lowest growth expectations but not the cheapest stock to own when compared to peers. On EV/Sales and EV/EBITDA it’s the 2nd most
expensive stock, and 3rd most expensive on P/E. We thus initiate with a SELL on OFSS.
OFSS is the most expensive stock ,only after Temenos, to own (figures in $m)

Initiating Coverage Majesco Limited (MJCO), is a third party Insurance software provider from Indian mainly operating in the US
Property and Casualty segment. Its core portfolio offering in the US P&C segment is thanks to its acquisition of
STG International in 2008. The good thing that Mastek did that time was despite adverse performance of the
company, it did not cut down on the R&D spending in STG and they seems to be reaping the benefits now with
strong order book and revenue growth. The opportunity in the market is $9bn (excluding hardware) with largest
player Guidewire holding only 4% market share (10% including its SI Partners revenues), the space is open for
Majesco to gain share. The insurance companies in US are modernising their systems by investing in
technology and Majesco is well placed to capture this trend and expectation is that this momentum of
modernising their systems might continue. Integration of the acquisition which is expected to be done by the
QIP money remains the biggest risk with Majesco. Initiate with BUY and target price of Rs720.
Strong order book driving revenue growth
Opportunity size is huge, order book position gives comfort on revenue visibility: Majesco is currently operating
in a market whose size is $9bn in which the largest player, Guidewire, is capturing 10% market share, if revenues from
its SI partners are included. Though Majesco’s offering doesn’t figures in the Gartner's leaders quadrant, it is the
number 3 player in the US P&C segment and sale of Accenture’s Duck Creek to Apax Partners might help Majesco to
fill the gap and move up if the capital raised via QIP is used in making acquisitions to plug front end weaknesses. With
strong order booking of $158m in FY16, the revenue momentum should continue in FY17 and a growing market should
ensure that revenue momentum continues in FY18.
Accenture selling Duck Creek can be a blessing in disguise: One way of looking at the sale of Duck Creek to Apax
Partner is whether Accenture was finding it difficult to scale it up. Another way is to see this as an opportunity for
Majesco. Duck Creek has expensive professional services fees. It saw limited success with SIs partly because leading
SIs have been reluctant to engage with a competitor and the SIs that have not had time to develop Accenture-level
implementation capabilities. Buyers have also been sceptical about Duck Creek’s Policy module ability to scale to meet
Tier 1 insurers' needs, and its Claims module is often viewed as too complex and costly for Tier 3s. Majesco doesn’t
comes with these baggage and with its cloud offering new deal wins and eventual scale up will be easy.
Acquisition and its successful integration is the biggest risk: Post the QIP, Majesco intends to use the capital to fill
portfolio gaps through acquisition. This is the biggest risk in our view and the risks includes risk of overpaying but
importantly risk of cultural and operational integration as not all acquisition can be a cultural fit as STG was.
Decent offering in a growing market

Majesco are STG Policy, STG Billing, STG Claims, Elixir Policy Admin
and Elixir Underwriting management. Majesco also provides all its
products in a SaaS model
• Property & Casualty Insurance is a strong segment for Majesco
growing at an organic CAGR of >25% in the last two years. P&C
segment have been gaining traction with demand in Policy Admin and
Billing Solutions. Coverall is known for its BI product. Integration of both
services should better traction
• Life & Annuity Segment has been tepid for the last two years led by
tepid UK market. Majesco has been trying to cross sell its L&A products
in US. We believe this segment would continue to remain sluggish in
the near term

Majesco market @ 42% of IT expenses 18.5
Addressable market size @ 50% 9.3
The addressable market size of $9bn for
Majesco in Insurance segment is similar to
that of Intellect’s addressable market size of
$8bn in Banking segment. Majesco can
improve its positioning via acquisition and
move from being a Visionary to the
Leadership quadrant
The $1.3Trn is the written down premium of
the US P&C segment and on an average US
P&C companies spends roughly 3.5% of
their revenues on IT of which translates to a
total market of $44bn of which only 60% can
be addressed by Majesco as it deals with IT
other than staffing
In the $18.5bn of the market which Majesco
can address, there are 2,000 US P&C
carriers. Majesco cannot address all of them
as the smaller ones may not add much
value. Hence it has identified 600 carriers to
whom it intends to reach out to and tracks it
on day to day basis. This $18.5bn is the IT
spending of these 600 P&C carriers.

There are two parts to Majesco’s business.
The smaller part is India business, in
which Indian entity holds 100% and the
second part is US business, in which the
entity holds 70%. Hence, the valuation is
based on 100% of India’s revenues and
70% of US revenues. Within the US
revenues, the services component which
is currently about 21% of total revenues is
expected to decline to 16% due to high
growth in product segment. Ascribing a
single EV/sales multiple to total revenues
would have meant ascribing similar
multiples to product business as well as
service business, which is not appropriate
in our view. Hence we have ascribed
EV/sales multiple of 1x to service portion
of revenues and EV/sales multiple of 2.5x
to the product revenues. EV/sales multiple
of 2.5x for the product business is similar
to what we have ascribed to Intellect
Design. We arrive at a EV of $260m and
after converting into INR m , we reduce it
by net cash to arrive at INR 720/share

Company Update Ramco systems, part of $1b Ramco Group of Companies is a rapidly growing Enterprise Software Product player
catering to the domain of ERP, M&E MRO for Aviation and HCM. The stock price is up 8x in the last 3 years post
restructuring and appointment of Virender Aggarwal as CEO in 2012. With ~60-70% of HCM bookings and ~40-50% of
ERP bookings on cloud, the revenue growth for Ramco will be driven by steady subscription based revenues, unless
Ramco is able to break through a major on-premise deal, for example in fixed wings space in Aviation sector. With the
worldwide SaaS market expected to grow at CAGR 18.2% for FY15-20e and Indian SaaS market to grow 3x by FY20e
from $407m in FY16e, we expect Ramco to continue its revenue growth momentum in the future as companies embrace
Saas based subscriptions. While Ramco was able to deliver decent EBITDA margins of ~20% in the past 2 years, going
forward, the margins will be primarily driven by the improvement in top line growth and rationalization of operating
expenses.
Growth driven by ERP and HCM segments while Aviation will likely be flat
HCM: HCM business has continued to grow impressively at 63% in FY16 post 114% in FY 15, contributing to 27% of
revenues in FY16. The growth in this segment is driven by pay roll suite, with more than 350 global customers spread
across 108 countries. Ramco is the largest payroll provider in India and after venturing into China and Australia with
cloud based offerings, the company is trying to make inroads into U.S market with an eye to cross sell the products to
the Aero clientele, and has to deal with strong players like Workday, Success factors etc. We expect Ramco to continue
growth in this segment with the strong brand name and uptick in adoption of HCM cloud products by SMEs. Our
conversations with Industry analysts indicates strength in Ramco’s HCM offering and given that most of the larger
players are still focussed on developed markets, Ramco can tap and grow rapidly in the Asia Pacific market.
ERP: The ERP segment is the largest contributor, with 45% of group revenues and grew 14% in FY16 post 17% in
FY15. The growth in future will be driven by picking up of logistics segment which is seeing investments in back end
due to strong growth of ecommerce segment. The logistics software has gained sufficient traction within three months
of launch. With good growth prospects of ecommerce industry fuelling the growth in logistics segment, the end to end
logistics software suite provided by Ramco is well placed to capture the market and grab first mover advantage. With
the Global ERP industry set to reach $42bn by FY20e at a CAGR of 7% and an increased adoption of the ERP
products primarily from APAC and Middle east, we expect the ERP business to continue as the largest contributor to
group revenues.
Aviation: The aviation segment has declined by 7% in FY16 and contributed to 28% of the total revenues. Ramco’s
aviation suite is primarily focussed on materials, maintenance and repair solutions catering to a market opportunity of
$4bn. Unlike ERP and HCM segments, the cloud based bookings for Ramco in aviation segment is only c10-15%. The
majority of the revenues have already been captured from the Malaysian Airlines deal and the company recognizes
only AMC revenues going forward. Also, with the bleak scenario in Heli segment, owing to less demand of Helicopters
in oil industry due to low crude prices, the revenue prospects for Ramco in Aviation segment does not look great
unless the company is able to crack any major deal in the fixed wings space. Considering this scenario, we expect the
revenue growth in Aviation segment to be flat going forward. Recovery in oil price can revive deal momentum.

Source: Company, Spark Capital
Ramco Aviation Software
The Aviation software used in Materials management and MRO is similar to that of an internal software used by an auto OEM for example. Akin to
the way the software of an auto OEM triggers when the service is due, the aviation software helps in identifying the different requirements of the
various components used in Helicopters / Air planes
Our View : The aviation segment has declined by 7% in FY16 and contributed to 28% of the total revenues. With the majority of the revenues already
been captured from the Malaysian Airlines deal, combined with the bleak scenario in Heli segment, we expect the revenue growth in Aviation segment
to be flat going forward. Recovery in oil price can revive deal momentum.
