Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. on Thursday reported a 14% fall in first-quarter net profit with all units being hurt by the coronavirus pandemic except life sciences and health care.

Net profit for the quarter ended June 30 fell to 70.08 billion Indian rupees ($935.6 million) from INR81.31 billion a year earlier, the Indian information-technology services company said in an exchange filing. That missed the estimate of INR77.10 billion from a FactSet poll of analysts.

First-quarter revenue increased to INR383.22 billion from INR381.72 billion a year earlier.

"The revenue impact of the pandemic played out broadly along the lines we had anticipated at the start of the quarter. We believe it has bottomed out, and we should now start tracing our path to growth," Chief Executive and Managing Director Rajesh Gopinathan said.
