Infosys reports slowest growth in FY08

SOURCE: TNN
BANGALORE: Infosys Technologies saw its brand value report the slowest growth in absolute numbers during FY08. Infosys brand value, according to the latest annual report, stood at Rs 31,863 crore compared to Rs 31,617 crore in the preceding year, showing a paltry 0.77 per cent jump.
This is in stark contrast with the 37.97 per cent vault in FY07 and a whopping 61 per cent rise in FY06.
Infosys brand value was pegged at Rs 14,153 crore in FY05, reflecting the robust growth it reported running into FY08.
Infosys determines brand value based on the profit before interest and tax, after eliminating the non-brand profits, providing for the remuneration of capital to be used for purposes other than promotion of the brand, besides making adjustment for taxes.
This figure is then multiplied with the brand multiple, which is a function of several leadership and stability. Infosys has calculated these factors on a scale of 1 to 100.
Infosys started reporting brand valuation nearly a decade back at a time when it was not exactly a buzz even with the conventional consumer-focused marketing companies.
The brand valuation exercise is done internally based on insights drawn from several internationally-acclaimed valuation models.
While Infosys has not given any reason for the sharp drop in brand value growth, it coincides with the market re-rating of the IT sector.
