HCL Technologies result drops

HCL Technologies Ltd., among India’s top five software exporters by sales, said Wednesday its consolidated third-quarter net profit fell 36% from a year earlier, dragged by foreign exchange and accounting losses.

Net profit in the three months ended March 31 fell to 2.18 billion rupees ($43.3 million) from 3.43 billion rupees a year earlier. The company’s financial year runs from July through June.

Profit fell despite a 49% rise in revenue to 28.62 billion rupees from 19.15 billion rupees a year earlier, the company, which reports its results based on U.S. accounting standards, said.

The company reported a cash flow accounting loss of 1.26 billion rupees and a forex loss of 761 million rupees. The Indian rupee lost about 4% against the U.S. dollar in the just-ended quarter.

Provisions for taxation rose 32% to 485 million rupees from 368 million rupees a year earlier, further hurting profits.

The results were below expectations. Fifteen analysts on average expected net profit of 2.48 billion rupees on revenue of 28.36 billion rupees, according to a Dow Jones Newswires poll.

Its quarterly earnings before interest, tax, depreciation & amortization margin fell marginally to 21.3% from 21.8% in the second quarter ended Dec. 31, and rose from 21.1% a year earlier, the company said.

HCL Technologies’ results follow those of India’s largest software exporters by revenue – Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Infosys Technologies Ltd. – both of whom gave a cautious outlook for the April-March financial year.

India’s software exporters earn most of their revenue from clients in the U.S. and Europe, and have been hurt by global customers cutting back spending on technology.

In dollar terms, HCL Technologies’ quarterly net profit was $43 million compared with $85.4 million a year earlier. Revenue rose 18% on the year to $564.4 million.

HCL, headquartered in the northern city of Noida, counts U.S.-based Cisco Systems, Deutsche Bank AG and U.K.-based DSG International PLC as customers and about 59% of its revenue comes from the U.S.

It said during the quarter, it signed 11 new contracts with customers including UTi, NASDAQ OMX, Shoprite, Moduslink and Xerox.

On Tuesday, the pope said AIDS cannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms. He said that condoms only increase the problem. This  contradicts the advice of many health officials, who recommend condoms as a way to prevent the spread of HIV, which causes AIDS.

Meanwhile, Pope Benedict met with Cameroon’s bishops Wednesday and urged them to defend the rights of the poor and the values of the traditional African family.

Charlie chaplin statue errupts violence in udipi

Kannada film director Hemanth Hedge’s  plan to erect a 67 feet statue of charlie chaplin for a film sequence, has been receiving support from various quarters. While 10 to 15 persons have offered their land for the statue, there’s also an online campaign in support of Hegde.

Hegde, in Bangalore to meet the film fraternity, told TOI that an online campaing “Save Chaplin on iPetitions” has been launched. Besides offers are pouring in from people across the state asking him to set up the statue on their land. “One such call was from Baindur (the place where he had planned to put up the statue ) in Udupi,” he said.

BJP activists in Udupi took exception to the statue being built for the Kannada film ‘Housefull’ on the ground that “Chaplin was a Christian and his contribution to India was nil. Hegde said he will meet Bangalore city police commissioner Shankar Bidari and chief secretary Sudhakar Rao on Monday for permission to stage a protest on March 19. He would also be calling on Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce president Jayamala to apprise her of the issue.
