- 1Q22 revenue was in line, at 22% our FY22e forecasts. PATMI underperformed, at 17% of our FY22e forecasts due to higher employee benefits expense and tax rate.
- Total revenue grew 27% YoY, above expected growth of 25%, driven by 25%/60% YoY increases in Omnichannel CX and Sales & Digital Marketing services. TDCX added 10 new clients for the quarter.
