Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Revenue. Our revenue increased by 16.1% to S$172.8 million (US$120.5 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from S$148.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a 13.0% increase in revenue from providing omnichannel Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions, and a 32.2% increase in revenue from providing sales and digital marketing services.

  • Our revenues from omnichannel CX solutions increased by 13.0% to S$100.9 million (US$70.4 million) from S$89.3 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher business volumes driven by the expansion of existing campaigns by clients in the fintech and technology verticals. In addition, business volumes of our key travel and hospitality clients continue to gain recovery momentum following the reopening of borders during the first half of 2022.
  • Our revenues from sales and digital marketing services increased by 32.2% to S$42.8 million (US$29.8 million) from S$32.4 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to the expansion of existing campaigns for our key digital advertising and media clients.
  • Our revenues from content, trust and safety services increased by 6.4% to S$28.1 million (US$19.6 million) from S$26.4 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to an increase in business volumes.
  • Our revenues from our other service fees increased by 38.5% to S$1.0 million (US$0.7 million) from S$0.7 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher business volumes from existing clients and higher contribution from new clients.

The following table sets forth our service provided by amount for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

* In the second quarter of 2022, we renamed our “content monitoring and moderation” services as “content, trust and safety” services which entailed some reclassification of certain of our revenues from our omnichannel CX solutions services and our other service fees into content, trust and safety services. Accordingly, we reclassified our segment revenues for all periods presented herein on a comparable basis except where otherwise noted. See “Segment Reclassification” below.

# Other service fees comprise revenue from other business process services and revenue from other services.

Employee Benefits Expense. Our employee benefits expense increased by 29.7% to S$112.3 million (US$78.3 million) from S$86.6 million for the same period of 2021 due to higher employee count, employee wage adjustments pursuant to dynamics of the talent markets that we operate in and cost of living inflation, and share-based payment expense arising from the implementation of our performance share plan in November 2021. Our average number of employees in the third quarter of 2022 increased 24.5% compared to the same period of 2021 as a result of business volumes expansion of current campaigns over the course of 2022, and staffing requirements of new campaign launches in the first half of 2022.

Depreciation Expense. Our depreciation expense decreased slightly by 1.9% to S$10.2 million (US$7.1 million) from S$10.4 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to certain office renovation assets in Singapore, Thailand and Philippines being fully depreciated during the period. These were partially offset by depreciation on capital expenditures invested in new and expansion capacities to support the growth of our business.

Rental and Maintenance Expense. Our rental and maintenance expense increased by 28.4% to S$2.6 million (US$1.8 million) from S$2.1 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to rental expenses incurred in new site set up in Korea. In addition, we had to increase our leasing of computer equipment to cope with the growth in our key clients’ campaigns in the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.

Recruitment Expense. Our recruitment expense expanded by 47.0% to S$4.5 million (US$3.1 million) from S$3.0 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to accelerated hiring activities thereby raising hiring costs to support the campaign needs in our Malaysia and Singapore offices.

Transport and Travelling Expense. Our transport and travelling expense decreased by 14.6% to S$0.4 million (US$0.3 million) from S$0.5 million for the same period of 2021 mainly due to lower accommodation and transportation expenses.

Telecommunication and Technology Expense. Our telecommunication and technology expense increased by 27.6% to S$3.1 million (US$2.1 million) from S$2.4 million for the same period of 2021 primarily in tandem with business volume expansion of our existing campaigns and new projects’ launches.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense decreased by 84.1% to S$0.4 million (US$0.3 million) from S$2.7 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to reduced bank borrowings during the period.

Other Operating Expense. Our other operating expense increased by 40.7% to S$5.6 million (US$3.9 million) from S$4.0 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to additional fees incurred in the Philippines arising from the unit exceeding the work-from-home cap imposed by the local fiscal incentive administrative body, and increased legal, compliance and professional fees.

Share of Profit from an Associate. Our share of profit from an associate was insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Interest Income. Our interest income increased by 936.1% to S$1.2 million (US$0.9 million) from S$0.1 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits.

Other Operating Income. Our other operating income increased by 164.9% to S$6.8 million (US$4.7 million) from S$2.6 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to foreign exchange gains recognized.

Profit Before Income Tax. As a result of the foregoing, our profit before income tax increased by 4.6% to S$41.7 million (US$29.1 million) from S$39.9 million for the corresponding period of 2021.

Income Tax Expenses. Our income tax expenses increased by 11.9% to S$10.8 million (US$7.5 million) from S$9.7 million for the same period of 2021. The higher income tax expenses were mainly due to higher taxes from our subsidiary in Malaysia as a result of a one-off “prosperity tax” enacted by the local government for fiscal 2022 for the Malaysian operations, suspension of the income tax break previously availed to the Philippines unit arising from the unit exceeding the work-from-home cap imposed by the local fiscal incentive administrative body and higher taxable profits of our subsidiaries in the Philippines and Thailand.

Profit for the Period. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period increased by 2.3% to S$30.9 million (US$21.6 million) from S$30.2 million for the same period of 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 14, 2022, we announced that the board of directors had approved a US$30.0 million share repurchase program. The share repurchase program commenced on March 14, 2022. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. We expect to fund repurchases under this program with our existing cash balance.

Our proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations and its insider trading policy. Our board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. We did not make any repurchase of ADSs in the year ended December 31, 2021.

From July 1, 2022 to November 21, 2022, we purchased 352,489 ADSs at a cost of US$3.0 million.

Warrant Agreement with Airbnb

On September 2, 2022, we entered into a warrant agreement with Airbnb Ireland Unlimited Company (“Airbnb”), whereby TDCX Inc. granted Airbnb warrants to purchase up to 490,000 of the TDCX Inc.’s American Depositary Shares subject to vesting, adjustment and other terms and conditions set forth therein. The vesting of the warrants is subject to satisfaction of certain fee milestones with respect to services provided to Airbnb under the Master Services Agreement which commenced August 1, 2021.

Subsequent Event

On October 13, 2022, we completed the restructuring of our Hong Kong associated company into a wholly-owned subsidiary. This was funded from our existing cash balance and we believe that such a restructuring enables TDCX Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) to better tap into opportunities in the Greater China area. The financial impact is not expected to be material.

Segment Reclassification

In the second quarter of 2022, we renamed our “content monitoring and moderation” services as “content, trust and safety” services. The change reflects the industry’s broader view that content moderation services are part of a larger group of services that includes other trust and safety related services and helps enhance our ability to track our performance.

Our content, trust and safety services are comprised of content moderating and monitoring services, trust and safety services and data annotation services. Content moderation and monitoring service involves the review of content submission for violation of terms of use or non-compliant with the specifications and guidelines provided by our clients. Trust and safety services entails our dedicated and trained resources in assisting our clients to verify, detect and prevent incidences of fraudulent use of clients’ tools so as to promote users’ confidence in using our clients’ platforms and tools. Data annotation services provided by us serves to support the development of our clients’ efforts in machine learning and automation initiatives and projects.

Revenue for trust and safety related services that were previously classified under omnichannel CX solutions and other service fees respectively, which can currently be reasonably identified and quantified, will now be reported as content, trust and safety services.

Reclassifications and comparative figures

In prior periods, we reported foreign exchange gains or losses on a net basis under “other operating expenses” line item. Commencing from the third quarter of 2022, foreign exchange gains for the relevant quarter is reported under “other operating income” line item while foreign exchange losses for the relevant quarter is reported under “other operating expenses” line item. Accordingly, reclassifications relating to foreign exchange gains and losses have been made to prior period’s financial statements to enable comparability with the current period’s financial statements and therefore, certain line items have been amended in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation. The items were reclassified as follows:

The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income margin and Adjusted EPS help us to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing our understanding of past performance and future prospects.

While the Company believes that the non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s results of operations in the same manner as its management, the Company’s use of non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider these in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS.

TDCX’s non-IFRS financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations or not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-IFRS measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
