“Our guidance is we should be in the range of 14.6-16% on a reported basis which on a like-to-like basis will be 15.7% to 17.1% and that is compared to the 15.25 to 16.25 range that we had last year, which indicates that we have a north-ward bias. And within this range also our expectation is we should be moving if not to the top end, to the middle of the range very soon as we are able to get operating leverage and as we are able to make sure that some of these impact of acquisitions get neutralised.”
