It is a very technical talk. I can understand the direction in which they are moving, but I couldnt understand most terms they use or the concepts they explain, the new business models they talk about… The language is too “tech”. Can any techie who has read the concall transcript and the PPT simplify the business models proposed?

Similar to the standalone cash flows, the negative cash flows during H1FY23 were caused by substantial investment in working capital. The company’s ROCE and ROE for the quarter were 35% and 25% respectively and working capital days were 27 days (SISA – 21 days and ROW -32 days).

Revenue from the cloud business in Q2FY23 was ₹506 Crs and from the cloud-managed services was ₹21 Crs.

Can someone share screen shot of this article as it’s paid or premium content

This company does not have any ideas if their plan is to get into services with “big deal from small, and small from big” plan. They are doing nothing special, this can be replicated, and any other firm who can do the same services for less ? (which they can by hiring people are even lower salaries) those firms will do it. Creating a spiral where redington will find itself in a regular excercise of finding ways to cut cost. Plus, New IT in India ? look around. Everybody opens an IT firm. The company is out of ideas, or just is incapable of thinking big, maybe it does not want to. Overall, lazy management.

Redington Q4 FY23 Result Update:

  • Guidance: The company expects to sustain revenue and margin growth despite geopolitical and financial challenges. The demand for data centre infrastructure products, servers, storage, networking, software, and security, as well as cloud products, has been robust, compensating for the subdued demand related to work from home and learn from home. Strong buying is happening in the BFSI, retail, healthcare, and government segments in India. Inventory across the globe has increased, leading to negative pressure on prices, discounting, and working capital flow.
  • 30% revenue comes from Apple. Iphone’s revenue is 24%.
    (Apple store opening in India will not impact Redington much: Analysts)
    Notes of the Article: “Apple is opening just two stores here, which are insignificant to dent Redington’s fortunes. Apple will have to expand rapidly on-ground in order to make a significant impact. Redington operates on a wafer-thin margin of around 3 per cent, which is a worry. There are better options like DMart, Trent and Vaibhav Global in the listed retailing space than Redington,” said A K Prabhakar, head of research at IDBI Capital. HP Inc, Dell EMC, Lenovo, Samsung and other manufacturers were the other contributors during this period, with a share of 11 per cent, 8 per cent, 6 per cent, 5 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively, of the total revenue, a company presentation said. Redington continues to demonstrate superior execution on the back of strong brand partnerships and diversified geographical expansion.

As highlighted earlier in this thread, Q1 challenges are due to economical challenges across the geography and still management says they have displayed profitability in countries like Turkey.
Also increase in investments has impacted profits. Increased expenses will continue for next 4-6 quarters. In Q1 FY24 earnings transcript, mgmt has touched upon staying competitive and very clear on what they are doing. This sounds quite optimistic.

On other side, if we see long term, Sales, Profit, Stock price have all increased with not much of deviation. Looks more for long term investment.

Disclosure: I am invested a small % for last 2 years. Considering Technicals on a monthly charts, I am exiting my position.
