    Financials
    For the quarter ended 31-03-2022, the company has reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 1822.07 crore, up 3.11% from last quarter Total Income of Rs 1767.18 crore and up 34.99% from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 1349.80 crore. Company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 31.63 crore in latest quarter.

    Investment Rationale
    Teamlease reported a muted quarter (+3.1% QoQ, lower than estimate) but the margin performance was in line. The core staffing volume growth of 4.3% QoQ was boosted by NETAP trainees (+8.4% QoQ), while the general staffing volume growth stood at 2.7% QoQ, impacted by higher attrition. The hiring activity has improved in key verticals (ecommerce, telecom, consumer, and BFSI) and the company has invested to deliver ~20% growth in the core staffing segment (~90% of revenue). Specialised staffing (8% of revenue) will continue to grow, led by traction in IT hiring, increase in open positions, and hiring across domains.

    The brokerage expects gradual improvement in general staffing EBITDA margin, led by mark-up improvement and automation; HR services target is >10% and specialised staffing margin will stabilise at 9-10%. It has cut revenue estimate by 2-3% due to Q4 miss and EPS estimates by ~6% after adjusting for higher tax rate. Its target price of Rs 4,850 is based on 40x Mar-24E EPS (five-year average PE of ~35x). The stock is trading at a PE of 36/28x FY23/24E EPS.
