Engineering firm L&T Technology Services Ltd said on Wednesday it expects revenue to grow over 20% for the current financial year after reporting a bigger-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on a strong deal pipeline.
“For FY24, our guidance is for a $ constant currency revenue growth of 20% plus,” chief executive officer Amit Chadha said in a statement.
The company’s consolidated net profit rose to Rs 3.10 billion ($37.93 million) for the three months ended March 31, beating analyst expectations of Rs 3.04 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
L&T Tech’s EBIT margin grew to 18.7% in the quarter from 18.6% in the year-ago period. The firm’s consolidated revenue from operations for the quarter rose 19.4% to Rs 20.96 billion. Transportation, the largest segment contributing 34.5% to total revenue, posted a 23.9% jump in revenue for the period.
The company, which provides engineering services in transportation and industrial products segments, said it won three deals with a total contract value of more than $10 million for the quarter.
In February, it bagged a partnership with French tech-firm Thales for enabling private 5G networks in urban railways. A month earlier, it also announced it was selected as a strategic partner to Airbus under a multi-year contract.
