The appreciation of the rupee resulted in a loss of Rs. 650 crore in reported revenue, TCS added. The rupee has also risen over 5 per cent against the dollar this year. For IT companies which earn bulk of their revenues in US dollars, this means lower revenue in rupee terms. The widely tracked dollar revenue of TCS came in at $4,591 million, up 3.1 per cent sequentially.
Commenting on the Q1 performance, CEO and MD, Rajesh Gopinathan said: "We have seen steady growth across industries in Q1. Robust volumes from major markets driven by good client additions across revenue bands and accelerating Digital adoption from customers have given us the right start to the year."
TCS' operating margin fell to 23.4 per cent in June quarter from 25.7 per cent in March quarter. V. Ramakrishnan, chief financial officer, said: "During the quarter high currency volatility including sharp rupee appreciation against the dollar resulted in Rs. 650 crore loss in reported revenues. We remain disciplined in our financial management, stay focused on generating strong cash flows and invest in our digital business. Despite the impact of wage hike in Q1, we continue to drive profitability to our targeted range."
