Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Limited (CareEdge Ratings) has reaffirmed ratings for bank facilities of Birlasoft Limited (Birlasoft) at ‘CARE AA+;
Stable/ CARE A1+’. Ratings reaffirmation continues to derive strength from Birlasoft’s established business position in the Indian
information technology (IT) services industry characterised by well-diversified business operations across service lines and end-
user segments. Ratings are further supported by Birlasoft being part of the well-established and diversified CKA Birla Group and
its strategic importance within the group, which imparts financial flexibility. Birlasoft’s financial risk profile continues to remain
strong as characterised by healthy capital structure, robust debt coverage position, and strong liquidity position, characterised by
available free liquidity of ₹2,878.6 crore as on June 30, 2026, and negligible term debt.
In FY26, Birlasoft’s total operating income (TOI) witnessed a de-growth of 1.2% year-on-year (YoY) in INR terms and de-growth
of 6.5% in USD terms (US$597.5 million in FY26 against US$635.4 million in FY25), owing to a softened demand environment in
the Indian IT services industry, emanating from macroeconomic headwinds resulting in lower discretionary spending and longer
decision cycles from clients. However, the growth momentum improved in Q1FY27, with TOI improving by 7.4% YoY in INR terms
as growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) and lifesciences verticals offset the slowdown witnessed in the
manufacturing segment. company has consistently maintained a healthy order book pipeline, as marked by total contract value
(TCV) of US$658 million as on March 31, 2026, and US$169 million as on June 30, 2026, which provides healthy revenue visibility
for the near-to-medium term. Birlasoft continues to invest in artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions, and winning AI-led
engagements with its customers. However, growth for the company is expected to remain modest over the near term as demand
revival may take several quarters across industry. The company exited low margin deals in FY26, which along with higher cost
efficiency and currency movement benefits led to profit before interest, lease rentals, depreciation and taxation (PBILDT) margins
improving from 12.76% in FY25 to 15.09% in FY26, and further to 16.15% in Q1FY27. Going forward, CareEdge Ratings expects
the company’s PBILDT margins to remain stable at ~15% over the near-to-medium term. Birlasoft’s ability to convert its stronger
pipeline, larger sales force, and AI-led opportunities into sustained revenue growth while sustaining profit margins, will remain
monitorable.
However, ratings are partially offset by Birlasoft’s presence in a highly competitive IT services industry with many prominent
players limiting its pricing flexibility given the relative moderate scale of operations. Operations are also geographically
concentrated in the US (83% and 86% of revenue share in Q1FY27 and FY26, respectively) while being exposed to foreign
exchange fluctuation risk, client concentration risk, employee attrition risk, and changes in policies/ macro environment across
key operating markets, including America and Europe among others.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
• Significant improvement in scale of operations and geographical diversification, and ability to enhance operating profitability
margins to 20% or more on a sustained basis.
Negative factors
• Incremental sizeable debt-funded acquisition that moderates capital structure, leading to net debt/PBILDT of over 1x on a
sustained basis.

Press Release
• Slowdown in key verticals resulting in significant pressure on income and PBILDT margin falling below 12% on a sustained
basis.
• Major regulatory challenges impacting operations.
Analytical approach: Consolidated
CareEdge Ratings has taken a consolidated approach for Birlasoft and its subsidiaries, as all entities operate in the same line of
business, under common management and have strong financial and operational linkages. Foreign subsidiaries contribute
significantly to Birlasoft’s TOI. Consolidated subsidiaries are mentioned in Annexure-5.
Outlook: Stable
‘Stable’ outlook reflects CareEdge Ratings’ expectation that Birlasoft’s financial risk profile will remain strong over the near-to-
medium term, supported by steady internal accrual generation, comfortable capital structure and strong liquidity position, despite
a modest growth momentum expected in the IT services industry.
