Summary of MPS's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Management's outlook for MPS Limited is cautiously optimistic, anticipating a strong recovery in performance as they head into FY'27. CEO Rahul Arora stated they expect to surpass an EPS of INR 100 for FY'26, which is considered conservative in light of their existing trajectory. Notably, the company recorded revenues of INR 563.2 crores in the first nine months of FY'26, with Q3 revenues slightly dipping to INR 182.5 crores due to transitional challenges, but maintaining a healthy EBITDA margin of 31.6%.
Key forward-looking points provided by management include:
Growth in Education Solutions: The segment has seen a notable growth rate of over 38% for the first nine months, and while Q3 showed a decline, they are optimistic about sustained double-digit growth in this area as they convert successful clients into long-term partnerships.
Strategic Acquisition: MPS has entered into definitive agreements to acquire Unbound Medicine for USD 16.5 million. This acquisition is seen as transformative, positioning MPS to enhance its revenue potential and control within the medical and nursing ecosystems, bolstering recurring revenue streams.
Corporate Learning Performance: Although this segment experienced a downturn, management views this as a tactical challenge. They are focused on margins and operational efficiency, with expectations to pivot towards higher-value capabilities and AI-enabled solutions to regain ground.
Focus on Cost Optimization: The management has initiated an internal project to optimize costs, targeting non-core expenses while aiming to improve margins in the wake of recent adjustments.
Revenue Synergies: By integrating Unbound's resources within MPS's existing global ecosystem, the company aims to unlock new capabilities and expand its service offerings, directly contributing to revenue growth.
Overall, MPS is positioned for a stronger performance in the coming quarters, leveraging strategic initiatives and market opportunities to drive growth across all segments.

MPSLTD vs Other (2021 - 2026)
Question: Regarding this particular quarter, we saw some bit of moderation on the traction in the Education business side. Could you share your thought process on a sustainable basis, because this has been one of our key growth drivers? Answer: At a high level, this is a one-off quarter. Although we experienced some timing issues with projects impacting revenue, we're headed for double-digit growth year-on-year. A notable win was landing a major higher education client with a forecasted 7-figure annual spend starting in Q4.
Question: Can you elaborate on the M&A strategy and customer targeting, specifically whether it's more focused on digital acquisition or a B2B sales model? Answer: Unbound operates on a high-margin, subscription-led B2B model, predominantly focusing on medical and nursing schools. Post-acquisition, we're looking to expand both Unbound's market reach and integration within MPS's existing client base, which could create valuable synergies.
Question: You mentioned EPS guidance of INR 100. Considering Q3's performance, what should investors expect in terms of long-term growth trajectory? Answer: Despite Q3's challenges, we maintain our guidance of crossing INR 100 EPS for FY'26. Our growth will stabilize in Q4, with our first half led by strong performances in the Research segment and significant opportunities expected in FY'27 with the acquisition of Unbound.
Question: Which market segment is facing the biggest threats from AI developments, and how is MPS addressing this? Answer: We view AI as an opportunity rather than a threat. In Research, AI enhances our workflows and speeds content monetization. While effecting certain short-term revenue pressures, we focus on solidifying partnerships that strengthen our operational capabilities, pushing us toward non-linear growth.
Question: With the rise of U.S. dollar and euro, will this improve margins? Answer: Yes, the strengthening of the dollar and euro against the Indian currency is beneficial for our margins. It positively impacts our revenues and operational profitability due to our international clientele.
Question: What is the current status of integrating sales efforts across MPS offerings? Answer: We are in a crucial phase of execution, aiming to scale from 50 dedicated customers to 100. This integration emphasizes operational efficiency and rigorous account management, allowing us to leverage our strengths better and aid growth.
Question: How will the Unbound acquisition impact revenue classification across MPS segments? Answer: Unbound will primarily contribute to the Education segment, with a smaller portion of revenue categorized under Research. It aligns with our strategy to deepen our offerings in these areas while steering clear of Corporate Learning.
Question: How will the changes in university funding in the U.S. affect MPS volumes over the next few years? Answer: Our exposure to U.S. university funding is minimized as less than 50% of our business is concentrated there. Moving forward, we prioritize deepening existing relationships rather than acquiring new clients, mitigating the potential impact of funding cuts.
Question: Given the challenges post-Liberate acquisition, what future prospects do you see for the Corporate Learning segment? Answer: We're focusing on aligning our three entities in Corporate Learning to enhance operational efficiency and potentially cultivate larger managed learning service projects, capitalizing on the market's demand for complex learning solutions, particularly amid uncertainties around AI.
