Besides, the Board of Directors of Wipro has declared an interim dividend of Rs 1 per equity share of par value Rs 2 each to the Members of the Company as of January 24, 2022, being the Record Date. The payment of Interim Dividend will be made on or before February 5, 2022.
Thierry Delaporte, CEO and Managing Director said, "Wipro has delivered a fifth consecutive quarter of strong performance, both on revenues, and margins. Order bookings have been strong too, and we have added seven new customers in the more than $100 Mn revenue league, in the last 12 months. Our strategy and improved execution continue to serve us well, and we are confident of building on this momentum. We are also excited to have completed the acquisitions of Edgile and LeanSwift Solutions in the quarter, both of which will add to our capabilities significantly."
Jatin Dalal, Chief Financial Officer said, "We delivered robust operating margins after absorbing substantial investments on salary increases, owing to continued improvement in operating metrics. We also improved our working capital, by reducing our Days Sales Outstanding. This has resulted in a strong operating cash flow conversion, of 101.3 per cent of net income. Additionally, we have declared an interim dividend of Rs 1 per equity share."
