"Our investments in Product Engineering, Cloud, Data, Automation and Integration capabilities continue to power our path to being a $ 1 Bln+ firm next year. This is a landmark year for the firm as we anticipate that we shall grow revenues by at least 35% and our adjusted EBITDA by at least 40% over the previous year. Our ability to significantly improve margins in a supply constrained and escalating costs context while simultaneously driving exceptional growth is a testament to the execution capabilities of Team Coforge", said Sudhir Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Coforge Ltd.

In view of sustained deal wins and incremental business from its customer base, the company is now planning for a growth (excluding SLK Global contribution) of at least 22% in constant currency terms during FY'22, which is higher than the at least 19% growth indicated earlier. This translates to at least 35% of consolidated (including SLK Global) growth in constant currency terms for the firm in FY22. The firm continues to target an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19% for the year.

The Board has recommended an interim dividend of Rs 13 per share, and the record date for this payout will be 8th November 2021.
