Recent Financial Challenges Faced by TELUS International
The class action follows a concerning announcement made by TELUS on May 9, 2024, regarding its first-quarter financial results. During this announcement, the company reported a decrease of $29 million in revenue year-over-year, raising concerns over its business performance. The Chief Financial Officer, Gopi Chande, indicated that margins from the company’s AI services were underwhelming, a revelation that resulted in a notable reduction in the company’s stock price by 18.15%, plummeting to $6.36 per share.
In a subsequent quarterly report released on August 2, 2024, TELUS International disclosed further financial deterioration, indicating a $15 million revenue decline year-over-year. The report highlighted troubling adjustments within its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), with a significant margin contraction from 23.3% to 19.9%. In light of these dismal financial reports, the company revised down its fiscal guidance for the remainder of 2024.
Among the notable changes, TELUS announced the retirement of its President and CEO, Jeff Puritt, which raised eyebrows regarding the company's leadership stability at a time of financial uncertainty. In a candid commentary, Puritt elaborated on the company’s ongoing transition towards an AI-centric business model, acknowledging that such a shift would necessitate cannibalizing existing, high-margin revenue streams. He described the situation as an “unendurable position” where margin yields were eroded in exchange for potential revenue growth from AI.
