Mr. Rajiv Kaul – Exec. VC & CEO commented, “Q1 tested our industry with the sharpest currency-supply disruption in a decade, impacting ATM transaction volumes. Against that, and in a seasonally weak quarter, our teams delivered our highest-ever services revenue, up 9%, with EBITDA growing 8.9% YoY and margins expanding 170 basis points sequentially; while absorbing significant cost inflation from steep minimum-wage increases in large states and higher fuel costs. This performance is the result of two years of investment in higher technology spends, pricing discipline, growth in business from private-sector banks, and a more flexible workforce model.”
