        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        What is good:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        1. The company is very much Research and Development oriented:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Ramco has been investing in its products over the past few years and now is the time when those investments will start with the improvement in the bottom line. One could also witness the same has been done in 2010-14 when the company was going through a CAPEX cycle and post which the company\u2019s topline soared higher thus enabling the company to gain a good market share. R&D expenditure as a percentage of total revenue has been increasing: 26% in FY22 vs 13% in FY19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. The HRP segment witnessed breakthrough partnership with Global leaders:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Ramco Systems signed partnership with two largest HCM providers viz. Oracle and Workday, to interface with these leaders to provide its multi-country payroll to the latter’s MNC client base. The move helped the company boost the pipeline of the business significantly and this may improve its win ratios materially given the hyper growth these vendors are clocking in cloud-based HCM. Company has clocked 20% revenue CAGR over FY15-20 in this segment which we expect to continue over FY23-25E. Recently the company added big 4 as its clients which again proves the revenue visibility of the company.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. The company has a commendable management team:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              The management won a few awards at payroll conferences and directors don\u2019t take much salary which is quite appreciable. Although their top executives are earning good amounts, which is normal for attracting top talent in an IT firm. Their language in concall was also impressive, where they seemed honest about their previous mistakes and lessons learnt, which is rare in case of Indian companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Factors to consider:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              1. Any sharp downturn in the Global IT sector can impact Ramco System’s financials adversely.\u00a0<\/li>
              2. Adverse currency movements may affect the bottom line of the company.\u00a0<\/li>
              3. Regulatory developments might hamper the sale of the company\u2019s products.<\/li>
              4. In lieu of chasing the short term numbers, the company might lose its long term plot.<\/li>
              5. The company\u2019s trade receivables are constantly increasing.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Industry Analysis:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new urgency to meeting digital transformation goals \u2013 and forced many organizations to accelerate the activities. According to NASSCOM, the software products market is estimated to clock USD 13.3 billion in annual revenue for FY22, after logging a CAGR of over 10% in the previous three financial years. During the same time period, the global market share of domestic software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses doubled. Startups and new-age firms (with 100-1,000 employees) contributed to around 40-50% of the overall spending on software products. Besides, there is a growing demand mainly for replacement of legacy systems and cutting down on human interventions with SaaS solutions across finance, logistics, and HR through extensive use of AI & ML. Several global players as well as small and medium businesses are preferring Indian products for customization or transaction-based pricing. It provides them the flexibility to buy and gradually scale solutions across geographies.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
