Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Revenue. Our revenues increased by 26.9% to S$152.4 million (US$112.6 million ) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from S$120.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to a 25.0% increase in revenue from providing omnichannel Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions, and a 59.9% increase in revenues from providing sales and digital marketing services.
Our revenues from omnichannel CX service solutions increased by 25.0% to S$93.5 million (US$69.1 million ) from S$74.8 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher business volumes driven by the expansion of existing campaigns. In addition, business volumes of our top two travel and hospitality vertical clients benefited from the gradual recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our revenues from sales and digital marketing services increased by 59.9% to S$35.7 million (US$26.4 million ) from S$22.3 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to the expansion of existing campaigns for our key clients in the digital advertising and media vertical.
Our revenues from content monitoring and moderation services decreased slightly by 3.4% to S$20.9 million (US$15.5 million ) from S$21.7 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower revenue per agent from an existing client in our digital advertising and media vertical.
Our revenues from our other service fees increased by 83.1% to S$2.3 million (US$1.7 million ) from S$1.3 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher contribution from existing and new clients.

Employee Benefits Expense . Our employee benefits expense increased by 38.9% to S$103.9 million (US$76.7 million ) from S$74.8 million for the same period of 2021 due to higher staff force, share-based payment expense arising from the implementation of our performance share plan in November 2021 , and employee compensation adjustment referenced to cost of living inflation and talent market conditions prevailing in the respective operations. Our average number of employees in the first three months of 2022 increased 29.6% compared to the same period of 2021 as a result of business volumes expansion of current campaigns over the course of 2021 and staffing requirements of new campaign launches in the second half of 2021.
Depreciation Expense. Our depreciation expense decreased by 3.9% to S$9.6 million (US$7.1 million ) from S$9.9 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 decreased by 20.2% to S$2.3 million (US$1.7 million ) from S$2.8 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to the termination of certain co-working space memberships in Japan and Spain , subsequent to the relocation of our operations to leased and fitted-out office spaces.
Recruitment Expense . Our recruitment expense increased by 41.8% to S$2.8 million (US$2.1 million ) from S$2.0 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to increased expenses relating to higher referral and placement fees, and higher expenses associated with immigration, work permits and onboarding of foreign nationality employees induced by COVID-19-related procedural regulations implemented by governmental authorities of respective countries to support the expansion of offshore campaigns in our Singapore and Malaysia offices.
Transport and Travelling Expens e . Our transport and travelling expense decreased by 16.7% to S$0.2 million (US$0.1 million ) from S$0.2 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower accommodation expenses.
Telecommunication and Technology Expense . Our telecommunication and technology expense increased by 40.8% to S$2.6 million (US$1.9 million ) from S$1.9 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to business volume expansion of our campaigns.
Interest Expense . Our interest expense decreased by 47.1% to S$0.5 million (US$0.4 million ) from S$0.9 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to reduced bank borrowings during the period.
Other Operating Expense . Our other operating expense decreased by 8.9% to S$2.6 million (US$1.9 million ) from S$2.8 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower foreign exchange losses incurred.
Share of Profit from an Associate . Our share of profit from an associate was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Other Operating Income . Our other operating income decreased by 7.8% to S$1.6 million (US$1.2 million ) from S$1.7 million for the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower government grants received by our Singapore subsidiaries in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022.
Profit Before Income Tax . As a result of the foregoing, our profit before income tax increased by 12.7% to S$30.0 million (US$22.1 million ) from S$26.6 million for the same period of 2021.
Income Tax Expenses . Our income tax expenses increased by 83.4% to S$7.8 million (US$5.7 million ) from S$4.2 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 and higher taxable profits of several key subsidiaries.
Profit for the Period. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period decreased by 0.6% to S$22.2 million (US$16.4 million ) from S$22.3 million for the same period of 2021.
Basic earnings per share. Our basic earnings per share decreased to S$0.15 (US$0.11 ) from S$0.18 (US$0.13 ) primarily due to an increase in the number of weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per share. On October 1, 2021 , we completed our initial public offering ("IPO") of 19,358,957 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one Class A ordinary share of TDCX , and, on October 12, 2021 , the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in respect of 2,903,843 ADSs pursuant to the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional ADSs.
Events after March 31, 2022
On April 18, 2022 , 134,474 share awards of the TDCX Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) vested. Accordingly, we will issue 134,474 American Depository Shares to the participants of the TDCX PSP in due course.

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.
