IT services firm Cognizant on Thursday posted 2.97% drop in its net profit for the second quarter ended June 2018, at $456 million, hurt by non-operating foreign exchange losses on account of rupee depreciation and the initial funding of Cognizant US Foundation.

Its revenue crossed $4 billion in the April-June 2018 quarter from $3.6 billion in the year-ago period, said Francisco D’Souza-led Cognizant which follows a January-December cycle as its fiscal year.

“GAAP net income was $456 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $470 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in GAAP net income was primarily due to net non-operating foreign exchange losses driven by the depreciation of the Indian rupee versus the prior year period, and the initial funding of the Cognizant US Foundation,” the statement said.

For the third quarter, the company expects its revenue to be in the range of $4.06 billion to $4.10 billion. Its full-year revenue is forecast to be in the range of $16.05 billion to $16.30 billion.
