Individual learning solutions Q3 is traditionally the weakest quarter for ILS as it reports a big sequential dip in revenues
continues to bring in and operating margins, as the academic year is well under way. This, along with the
operating leverage... vacation period ( Diwali/Christmas) leads to subdued enrollments and also lowers
sequential utilisation levels.
Comparisons on a YoY basis though, reflects the traction NIIT is witnessing for its
engineering courses/GNIIT due to a positive consumer sentiment. Thus, enrollments
were up 28% YoY to 66,335 with GNIIT enrollment being higher by 36% YoY.
Utilisation levels in Q3FY08 were at 46%, (49% last year) on capacity which was enhanced
by 22% YoY (higher than expected). Absolute utilisation levels rose ~15% YoY despite
aggressive capacity expansion, conveying the buoyant demand for NIIT’s course offerings.
NIIT believes that the current pricing environment is at an appropriate level. However, if
wage inflation were to spike up, there would an opportunity to increase course fees.
Higher than anticipated capacity expansion activities and a positive consumer sentiment
has led us to revise our FY08 and FY09 estimates for this business to Rs 3.3bn and 3.9bn
with OPM of ~20.9% and 22.9% respectively. For FY10, this has the potential to increase
to Rs4.7bn and 23.9%.
