Press Release

Income Statement Highlights:

o Gross profit margin at 58.2% registered ~230 basis points decline vs Q3 FY14 primarily on account of unfavourable currency impact. Gross profit margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 65.9% and
17.2% respectively.

o SG&A expenses, excluding impairment adjustments, marginally grew by 2%. This increase is largely due to annual increments, additional manpower deployment in the past 12 months and other sales and marketing spend for events specific to this quarter offset by the favourable impact of Emerging Market currency depreciation.
