TDCXs second quarter 2023 profit up 9.4%
Singapore, August 24, 2023 TDCX Inc. (NYSE: TDCX) (TDCX or the Company), an award-winning digital customer experience (CX) solutions provider for technology and blue-chip companies, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights1
| Total revenue of US$126.2 million, up 5.5% year-on-year, including a 5.8% point negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year period, and up 11.3% in constant currency terms2 |
| Profit for the period was US$21.6 million, up 9.4% year-on-year |
Mr. Laurent Junique, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of TDCX, said, This quarter, we continued to demonstrate resilience amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. In this challenging landscape, our focus remains on having a steadfast approach to operational excellence, value-adding to our clients through our consulting services, and exercising discipline in managing our business. This focus has also enabled us to increase our revenue from clients outside the top five by 67 per cent year-on-year.
We are at an exciting point in the CX industry. Technological advancements, including in generative artificial intelligence (AI), pave the way for us to provide faster, better and more efficient ways of delivering customer satisfaction. Such developments hold much promise for our industry. I am confident that our ability to help clients design and implement solutions for increasingly complex customer needs and our investments into capabilities including AI put us in an advantageous position for growth in the long term.

Detailed Financial Information on the Form 6-K
Please refer to https://investors.tdcx.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx for the detailed financial information contained in Form 6-K.
1 | FX rate of US$1 = S$1.3557, being the approximate rate in effect as of June 30, 2023, assumed in converting financials from SG dollar to U.S. dollar. |
2 | For a discussion of the use of non-IFRS financial measures, see Non-IFRS Financial Measures. |
3 | The reported amounts for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 include adjustments for certain items (i.e., acquisition-related professional fees and net foreign exchange gains or losses) which were not included in similar non-IFRS financial measures previously reported for the corresponding period last year. In order to place the current disclosure in the appropriate context and enhance its comparability, similar adjustments have been made for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2022. |
4 | Client count refers to launched campaigns that are revenue generating. |
5 | Includes additional clients attributable to our Hong Kong subsidiary. |
6 | Refers to sites in Colombia, India, Romania, South Korea, Hong Kong, Türkiye, Vietnam, Brazil and Indonesia. |
7 | We have not reconciled non-IFRS forward-looking revenue growth at constant currency to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The revenue growth outlook indicated for 2023 is calculated and presented at constant currency, as it would require unreasonable efforts to predict factors out of our control or not readily predictable, such as currency exchange movements over the course of an entire year. |

Convenience Translation
The Companys financial information is stated in Singapore dollars, the legal currency of Singapore. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Singapore dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to Singapore dollars in this press release were made at a rate of S$1.3557 to US$1.00, the approximate rate in effect as of June 30, 2023. We make no representation that any Singapore dollar or U.S. dollar amount could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or Singapore dollar, as the case may be, at any particular rate, the rate stated herein, or at all.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures to help evaluate our operating performance:
EBITDA represents profit for the year/ period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA represents profit for the year/ period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related professional fees, net foreign exchange gains or losses and equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted Net Income represents profit for the year/ period before acquisition-related professional fees, net foreign exchange gains or losses and equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan, net of any tax impact of such adjustments.
Revenue at constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of our local subsidiaries in each period in the respective local functional currencies to the Company and its subsidiaries presentation currency, using the average currency conversion rates in effect during the comparable prior period, rather than at the actual currency conversion rates in effect during that period.
We believe that EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Revenue at Constant Currency and Revenue Growth at Constant Currency help us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations, and thereby help us to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing our understanding of past performance and future prospects.
We exclude items from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, including acquisition-related professional fees, net foreign exchange gains or losses and equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan, as they are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and adjusting for such items is meaningful and useful to readers to understand the underlying performance of the business by eliminating the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of the business.
The above non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to revenue, net income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently. For more information on the non-IFRS financial measures, including full reconciliations to the nearest IFRS measure, please see the form 6-K section captioned Non-IFRS Financial Measures or the presentation slides.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenue. Our revenue increased by 5.5% to S$171.1 million (US$126.2 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from S$162.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily driven by a 15.5% increase in revenue from sales and digital marketing services followed by a 7.7% increase in revenue from omnichannel CX solutions services rendered, partially offset by a 19.3% decrease in revenue from content, trust and safety services.
| Our revenue from omnichannel CX solutions services increased by 7.7% to S$102.7 million (US$75.8 million) from S$95.3 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to higher business volumes driven by the expansion of existing campaigns by clients in the travel and hospitality, gaming, fast moving consumer goods, financial services, and technology verticals, partially offset by a lower demand for our services from existing clients in the fintech, and digital advertising and media verticals. |
| Our revenue from sales and digital marketing services increased by 15.5% to S$45.1 million (US$33.3 million) from S$39.1 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to the expansion of existing campaigns by our key digital advertising and media clients, E-commerce, and scaled up contributions from new clients secured during 2022. |
| Our revenue from content, trust and safety services decreased by 19.3% to S$21.8 million (US$16.1 million) from S$27.0 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to contraction of volumes requirement by existing clients in the digital advertising and media vertical, but mitigated partially by higher volumes in the travel and hospitality vertical. |
| Our revenue from our other service fees increased by 70.3% to S$1.5 million (US$1.1 million) from S$0.9 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to an expansion of existing campaigns. |

Employee Benefits Expense. Our employee benefits expense increased by 7.1% to S$112.9 million (US$83.2 million) from S$105.4 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to higher employee headcount. This was partially offset by a lower share-based payment expenses resulting from changed expectations of the remaining awarded tranches in tandem with recent business dynamics. Our average number of employees in the second quarter of 2023 increased by 20.8% compared to the same period of 2022 driven by higher net business volumes of some existing campaigns in certain verticals, ramp-ups of new campaigns that were commenced in later half of 2022 and new sites launched in 2023. For the quarter ended 30 June 2023, the share-based payment expense has decreased to S$2.7 million (US$1.9 million) as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2022.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Our depreciation and amortization expense increased by 17.7% to S$10.9 million (US$8.1 million) from S$9.3 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to our office space expansion in Malaysia, Thailand and Korea, and depreciation and amortization expense arising from our acquisition of the remaining shareholdings of our former associated company in Hong Kong on October 13, 2022 to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.
Rental and Maintenance Expense. Our rental and maintenance expense increased by 33.1% to S$3.2 million (US$2.3 million) from S$2.4 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to the setting up of greenfield sites in Brazil, Indonesia, Türkiye and Vietnam. In addition, the increase was necessitated to support the business expansion of certain existing key clients campaigns in China, Malaysia and Thailand that drove the requirement for additional technology infrastructure and equipment.
Recruitment Expense. Our recruitment expense decreased by 32.5% to S$2.4 million (US$1.8 million) from S$3.5 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to decreased hiring and work permit renewal activities of largely foreign talents in Singapore and Malaysia.
Transport and Travelling Expense. Our transport and travelling expenses remained stable during the two comparative periods.
Telecommunication and Technology Expense. Our telecommunication and technology expense increased by 28.3% to S$3.6 million (US$2.7 million) from S$2.8 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to an increase in software requirement to support the higher business volumes in campaigns of several existing and new sites.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased by 7.0% to $0.5 million (US$0.4 million) from $0.5 million for the same period of 2022 primarily caused largely from higher lease liability interest in tandem with the additional office space in Malaysia, Thailand and Korea, and inclusion of the leased office space of wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary which was formerly an associated company prior to October 13, 2022.
Other Operating Expense. Our other operating expense increased by 78.4% to S$3.6 million (US$2.7 million) from S$2.0 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to higher office infrastructure utilities overheads in tandem with additional office spaces, increased professional and advisory engagement fees which also included the remaining costs of a discontinued business acquisition.
Share of Profit from an Associate. This relates to our share of profit from an associated company in Hong Kong which later became a wholly-owned subsidiary on October 13, 2022 following the acquisition of the controlling shares in that business.
Interest Income. Our interest income increased by 630.1% to S$3.1 million (US$2.3 million) from S$0.4 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to higher placements of excess liquid funds in interest earning deposits and an increase in interest rates in 2023.
Other Operating Income. Our other operating income decreased by 34.9% to S$0.6 million (US$0.4 million) from S$0.9 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to lower government grants received by our Singapore subsidiaries.
Profit Before Income Tax. As a result of the foregoing, we achieved a profit before income tax of S$37.3 million (US$27.5 million) for the 3 months ended 30 June 2022 (S$37.3 million for the corresponding period of 2022).
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense decreased by 24.4% to S$8.0 million (US$5.9 million) from S$10.5 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to reinstatement of tax incentive in the Philippines that was temporarily suspended in 2022.
Profit for the Period. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period increased by 9.4% to S$29.3 million (US$21.6 million) from S$26.8 million for the same period of 2022.
Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations. Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations recognized in other comprehensive income decreased by 93.7% to a gain of S$0.6 million (US$0.5 million) from a gain of S$9.7 million for the same period of 2022 primarily due to the strengthening of the functional currencies of the foreign operations against the Singapore Dollar.
Total Comprehensive Income for the Period. As a result of the foregoing, our total comprehensive income for the period decreased by 18.1% to S$29.9 million (US$22.1 million) from S$36.5 million for the same period of 2022.
Additional Adjustments to Certain Non-IFRS Financial Measures
With effect from January 1, 2023, we have decided to include adjustments for net foreign exchange gains or losses and acquisition-related professional fees in Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, in addition to an adjustment for equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) that was included in such previously reported non-IFRS measures in prior periods. Over the course of the previous year, we have identified such additional items as not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and adjusting for such items is meaningful and useful to readers to understand the underlying performance of the business by eliminating the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of the business. For further information, see Non-IFRS Financial Measures below.
Share Repurchase Program
On March 14, 2022, we announced that the board of directors had approved a US$30.0 million share repurchase program. The share repurchase program commenced on March 14, 2022. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. We expect to fund repurchases under this program with our existing cash balance.
Our proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations and its insider trading policy. Our board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. All share repurchases are subject to and will be carried out, if at all, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
From April 1, 2023 to August 22, 2023, we purchased 161,928 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at a cost of US$1,129,000 under our share repurchase program.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin, Adjusted EPS, revenue at constant currency, and revenue growth at constant currency are non-IFRS financial measures. TDCX monitors EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin, Adjusted EPS, revenue at constant currency and revenue growth at constant currency because they assist the Company in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of items not directly resulting from its core operations.
EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
EBITDA represents profit for the period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit for the period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan, net foreign exchange gain or loss and acquisition-related professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Revenue at Constant Currency and Revenue Growth at Constant Currency
Revenue at constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue at constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of our local subsidiaries in each period in the respective local functional currencies to TDCX Inc.s and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, the Group) presentation currency, using the average currency conversion rates in effect during the comparable prior period (rather than at the actual currency conversion rates in effect during the current reporting period). Revenue growth at constant currency means the period-over-period change in revenue at constant currency compared against revenue in the prior period.

The Company has not reconciled non-IFRS forward-looking revenue growth at constant currency to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The revenue growth outlook indicated for 2023 is calculated and presented at constant currency, as it would require unreasonable efforts to predict factors that are out of the Companys control or are not readily predictable, such as currency exchange movements over the course of an entire year.
The Company uses revenue at constant currency and revenue growth at constant currency, which are supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, to provide better comparability of revenue trends period-over-period (without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates) because it is a global company that transacts business in multiple currencies and reports financial information in the Groups functional reporting currency. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by the Company in the Groups functional reporting currency with respect to its foreign revenues. Generally, when the Groups functional reporting currency dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, revenue at constant currency rates and revenue growth at constant currency rates will be higher or lower than revenue and revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.
The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin, Adjusted EPS, revenue at constant currency and revenue growth at constant currency help us to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing our understanding of past performance and future prospects.
While the Company believes that such non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Companys results of operations in the same manner as its management, the Companys use of such non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider these in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Companys results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS.
TDCXs non-IFRS financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Companys operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-IFRS measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the companys financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Disclaimer This presentation is provided solely by TDCX Inc. (the Company) acting in its own capacity and on behalf of its subsidiaries. Forward-looking statements. This presentation may contain forward-looking statements, outcomes, forecasts, estimates, projections and opinions (forward-looking statements). No representation or promise is made or will be made that any forward-looking statement will be achieved or will eventuate in the future. Actual events, results, returns and operations could vary materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Similarly, no representation or promise is given by the Company that the assumptions, variables and other inputs used in or underlying this presentation are reasonable, reliable or accurate. Circumstances may change and the contents of this presentation may become outdated as a result. Forward-looking statements are by their nature subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and reliance should not be placed upon them. Past performance of the Company and any of its subsidiaries cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. Non-IFRS financial measures. This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS) including EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin, Adjusted EPS, Revenue at Constant Currency and Revenue Growth at Constant Currency. These non-IFRS financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Companys financial results or position. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to gross profit, profit for the period, cash flow or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under IFRS. You should be aware that the Companys presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies which may be defined and calculated differently. See the Reconciliation section in the Appendix for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. We have not reconciled non-IFRS forward-looking revenue growth at constant currency to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The revenue growth outlook indicated for 2023 is calculated and presented at constant currency, as it would require unreasonable efforts to predict factors out of our control or not readily predictable, such as currency exchange movements over the course of an entire year. No representation. In preparing this presentation, the Company has relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information available from public sources or which has otherwise been reviewed. Any information regarding price or value in this presentation should not be interpreted as an actual or guaranteed realizable price or value. The Company does not warrant or guarantee the performance of the Company, its assets, business, any financial product or any return associated with any investment. The Company does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of this presentation, or the reasonableness of any assumption contained in this presentation and is not under any obligation to provide you with access to any additional material and reserves the right to amend or replace the same at any time upon its sole discretion. The materials in this presentation is not complete, and not intended to be relied upon, or provide the sole or principal basis of any decision or other action in relation to any transaction. No advice and not an offer. Nothing in this presentation should be construed as or constitutes legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, investment or other (including financial product) advice or as a securities or other recommendation. Furthermore, this presentation is not intended, and does not, constitute or form part of any offer, invitation or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of, any securities of TDCX Inc. and any of its subsidiaries or undertakings or any other invitation or inducement to engage in investment activities, nor shall this presentation (or any part of it) nor the fact of its distribution form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or investment decision. Industry information. Certain industry, market and competitive position data in this presentation is based on third-party data provided by Frost & Sullivan. Such data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates, as there is no assurance that any of them will be reached. Industry publications, reports, research, surveys and studies generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources and estimates are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties. Convenience translation. The Companys financial information is stated in Singapore dollars, the legal currency of Singapore. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Singapore dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to Singapore dollars in this presentation were made at a rate of S$1.35570 to US$1.00, being the approximate rate in effect as of June 30, 2023. We make no representation that any Singapore dollar or U.S. dollar amount could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or Singapore dollar, as the case may be, at any particular rate, the rate stated herein, or at all. 2

FY2023 Outlook Previous Revised Range: 3% 8%1,2 Range: 2% 4%1,2 Adjusted EBITDA Margin3 Approximately 25% 29% Approximately 25% 27% 1. On a constant currency basis. Revenue at constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of our local subsidiaries in each period in the respective local functional currencies to the Groups presentation currency, using the average currency conversion rates in effect during the comparable prior period, rather than at the actual currency conversion rates in effect during that period. 2. Revenue at constant currency and revenue growth at constant currency are supplemental, non-IFRS financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results reported under IFRS. We have not reconciled non-IFRS forward-looking revenue growth at constant currency to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The revenue growth outlook indicated for 2023 is calculated and presented at constant currency, as it would require unreasonable efforts to predict factors out of our control or not readily predictable, such as currency exchange movements over the course of an entire year. 3. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit for the year/period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related professional fees, net foreign exchange gains or losses and equity-settled share-based payment expense (or net reversal) incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITD margin is a supplemental, non-IFRS financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results reported under IFRS. For a reconciliation of this non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see the Appendix.

Revenue at constant currency and revenue growth at constant currency are supplemental, non-IFRS financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results reported under IFRS. We have not reconciled non-IFRS forward-looking revenue growth at constant currency to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The revenue growth outlook indicated for 2023 is calculated and presented at constant currency, as it would require unreasonable efforts to predict factors out of our control or not readily predictable, such as currency exchange movements over the course of an entire year. 21
THANK YOU!
