The country's largest software exporter TCS today reported a 4.4 per cent growth in its consolidated net profit at Rs 6,904 crore for the March 2018 quarter and its board recommended a 1:1 bonus share issue.
The Tata Group company, which accounts for a lion's share of the group's overall profit, reported a revenue growth of 8.2 per cent at Rs 32,075 crore for the said quarter, up from Rs 29,642 crore a year earlier.
"Strong demand in digital across all industry verticals and large transformational deal wins have made this one of our best fourth quarters in recent years. The strong exit allows us to start the new fiscal on a confident note," TCS CEO and MD Rajesh Gopinathan said.
Strong deal wins and a good pipeline positions TCS very well in the new fiscal, TCS Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director N Ganapathy Subramaniam said.
Digital revenue accounted for 23.8 per cent of the revenue, up 42.8 per cent year-on-year.
For the entire 2017-18, TCS saw its net profit dipping 1.7 per cent to Rs 25,826 crore, while revenue rose 4.3 per cent to Rs 1.23 lakh crore.
At the end of March 2018, TCS had 3,94,998 employees with attrition rate at 11 per cent in IT services.
