Letter to the shareholder

Dear Shareholder, We are delighted to announce that this has been an outstanding quarter. Our revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 stood at R 8,099 crore with a QoQ growth of 8.2% and YoY growth of 16.6%. The net profit after tax was R 1,906 crore for the quarter and Earnings per share (EPS) was R 33.36. We declared an interim dividend of R 15 per share. This quarter has seen an all round growth. In US dollar terms we had revenues of $1.746 bn, against the guidance of $1.73 bn to $1.755 bn. Earlier this year, the Board of Directors met and announced the following changes to the Board: Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy appointed Chairman Emeritus. Mr. K. V. Kamath named Chairman of the Board. Mr. S. Gopalakrishnan named Co-Chairman of the Board. Mr. S. D. Shibulal named Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. The appointments have been effective from August 21, 2011. The decision of the Board is based on the recommendations of the Nominations Committee. Prof. Jeffrey S. Lehman, Chairman of the Nominations Committee noted, These three leaders meld an extraordinary range of talents and experiences with a united commitment to drive the company to unprecedented levels of accomplishment while remaining true to its historic values. We could not be in better hands. Our new organization structure of Infosys 3.0 is in place and all the re-alignment has been seamlessly completed. Our operating margin has gone up from 26.1% to 28%. Our strategic direction of Building Tomorrows Enterprise is seeing excellent traction. Infosys and its subsidiaries added 45 new clients this quarter including seven Fortune 500 clients. We are strengthening our geographical focus by bringing in country-specific focus with dedicated leadership for our key markets in the Americas, Europe and BRIC economies. We have also set up three dedicated units to focus on emerging growth areas Sustainability, Enterprise Mobility and Cloud. Our revenues from geographical segments for this quarter stand thus: North America contributed 65.3%, Europe contributed 20.5%, India and the Rest of the World contributed 2.2 and 12.0% respectively. This is no mean feat because the macroeconomic environment is still challenging, with high unemployment and sovereign debt crisis in the US and the Euro zone. Though our clients have been cautious, we have not seen any project cancellations or budget cuts as of now. This quarter, Infosys unveiled a new product Infosys Edge a suite of business platforms for the Cloud. Infosys Edge platforms are focused on accelerating business innovation for clients across Talent, Social and Commerce functions. Ten strategic deals were signed by Infosys Edge this quarter, of which, four were from EMEA, four from the Americas and two from the APAC region. We added 15,352 employees (net addition of 8,262) this quarter and the total employee strength as of September 30, 2011 was 1,41,822 employees for Infosys and its subsidiaries. As on Sep 30, 2011, the company had 28 mn sq. ft of space capable of accommodating 1,26,640 employees and 8.2 mn sq. ft are under construction, capable of accommodating 38,203 employees. Bank Administration Institute (BAI) and Finacle launched the first ever 2011 BAI Finacle Global Banking Innovation Awards, to recognize and support innovation in the retail banking industry. The awards highlight best-in-class organizations from around the world that have demonstrated breakthrough innovations, positively impacting customer and organizational profitability. During the quarter, Infosys applied for 48 patent applications in India and the US With this, we have an aggregate of 424 patent applications (pending) in India and the US, and have been granted 30 patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Industry observers and the media lauded us for our achievements. Forbes, and HOLT, a division of Credit Suisse, ranked Infosys among the worlds most innovative companies. Another premium compliment we received was from research firm Forrester which hailed our education and research practices. According to Forrester Research in a September 2011 report titled, The Importance Of Evaluating Your Vendors Training Capability: What You Need To Know, Forrester discusses how Infosys uses training to maintain its global competitiveness and called it as the gold standard in training. Infosys was conferred Asias Most Preferred Brand in the Information Technology category at the Asian Leadership Awards Hosted by the Asian Confederation of Businesses and supported by Stars of the Industry Group. Finacle from Infosys has been positioned as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core Banking (IRCB) 2011. Gartner Inc. positioned vendors based on two broad parameters ability to execute and completeness of vision. Finacle was positioned as a leader in the market among the 20 vendors evaluated. Infosys BPO was given the Award for Continuous Innovation in HR Strategy at Work at Asias Best Employer Brand Awards 2011, and the Award for Supporting and Improving Quality of Education at Asias Best CSR Practices Awards 2011. To conclude, this quarter was marked by all-round growth. With renewed zest, we are well positioned to strengthen our strategic partnerships with our clients and our commitment to all our stakeholders.
