Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Singapore Dollar amounts could be converted into USD at that or any other rate. Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 *Revenue.* Our revenues increased by 28.8% to S$154.8 million (US$114.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from S$120.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to a 23.6% increase in revenue from providing omnichannel Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions, and a 71.8% increase in revenues from providing sales and digital marketing services. · Our revenues from omnichannel CX service solutions increased by 23.6% to S$96.1 million (US$71.1 million) from S$77.7 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher business volumes driven by the expansion of existing campaigns. In addition, business volumes of our top two travel and hospitality sector clients benefited from the mild recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic whereby our revenue grew by 16%, as compared to the same period in 2020. · Our revenues from sales and digital marketing services increased by 71.8% to S$34.6 million (US$25.6 million) from S$20.2 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to the expansion of existing campaigns for our key clients in our digital advertising and media vertical. · Our revenues from content monitoring and moderation services increased by 3.4% to S$21.7 million (US$16.0 million) from S$20.9 million for the same period last year primarily due to higher business volumes from an existing client in our digital advertising and media vertical. · Our revenues from our other service fees increased by 80.0% to S$2.4 million (US$1.8 million) from S$1.3 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher contribution from existing and new clients. The following table sets forth our service provided by amount for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. *Employee Benefits Expense. Our employee benefits expense increased by 41.8% to S$97.7 million (US$72.3 million) from S$68.9 million for the same period in 2020 primarily tracking the increase in staff force, equity-settled share-based payment expense arising from the maiden implementation of our performance share plan (an employee share award plan) in November 2021, employee compensation adjustment with respect to individual employee performance and cost of living, talent retention and recruitment, and recognition bonus accorded to employees involved in the successful initial public offering. Our average number of employees in the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased 28.6% compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of business volumes expansion of current campaigns in 2021 and staffing requirements of new campaign launches in the second half of 2021. Depreciation Expense.* Our depreciation expense increased by 7.8% to S$9.6 million (US$7.1 million) from S$8.9 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to depreciation on capital expenditures invested in new and expansion capacities in India, Colombia, Thailand and the Philippines to support the growth of our business. In addition, there was increased depreciation on renovations and right-of-use assets with respect to our property leases in Spain and Japan to replace the co-working space membership occupied previously. These were partially offset by certain of our assets being fully depreciated during the period. *Rental and Maintenance Expense. Our rental and maintenance expense decreased by 13.7% to S$2.1 million (US$1.5 million) from S$2.4 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to the termination of certain co-working space memberships, pursuant to the relocation of our operations to own leased and fitted out office spaces. Recruitment Expense. Our recruitment expense increased by 49.8% to S$3.3 million (US$2.5 million) from S$2.2 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to increased expenses relating to higher referral and placement fees, and higher expenses associated with immigration, work permits and onboarding of foreign 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, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand offices. Transport and Travelling Expense. Our transport and travelling expense increased by 105.2% to S$0.5 million (US$0.4 million) from S$0.2 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to listing-related travel expenditure. Telecommunication and Technology Expense. Our telecommunication and technology expense increased by 47.4% to S$2.5 million (US$1.8 million) from S$1.7 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to business volume expansion of our campaigns. Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased by 149.6% to S$2.0 million (US$1.5 million) from S$0.8 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to the recognition of the remaining unamortized term loan facility fees following the full repayment of the loan on October 7, 2021. Other Operating Expense. Our other operating expense decreased by 38.9% to S$2.5 million (US$1.9 million) from S$4.2 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to lower foreign exchange losses suffered and the forfeiture of upfront deposits paid by our subsidiary in Japan in the same period in 2020 due to early termination of its co-working space membership commitment. These were partially offset by increased premium expense related to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy following the initial public offering. Share of Profit from an Associate. Share of profit from an associate was negligible for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and is related to the recognition of the share of profit from an associate in Hong Kong during the periods. Other Operating Income. Our other operating income increased by 28.6% to S$2.6 million (US$1.9 million) from S$2.0 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to contribution fee income from our share depositary. Profit Before Income Tax. As a result of the foregoing, our profit before income tax increased by 12.6% to S$37.4 million (US$27.7 million) from S$33.2 million for the same period in 2020. Income Tax Expenses. Our income tax expenses increased by 36.8% to S$8.6 million (US$6.3 million) from S$6.3 million for the same period in 2020. The higher income tax expenses were mainly due to higher taxable profits of several key subsidiaries, higher dividend taxes from several subsidiaries, and lower tax-exempt other income received by the Singapore operations in the three months ended December 31, 2021 than for the same period in 2020. Profit for the Period. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period increased by 7.0% to S$28.8 million (US$21.3 million) from S$27.0 million for the same period in 2020. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 Revenue.* Our revenues increased by 27.7% to S$555.2 million (US$410.7 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$434.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to a 22.3% increase in revenue from providing omnichannel CX solutions and a 73.2% increase in revenues from providing sales and digital marketing services. · Our revenues from providing omnichannel CX solutions increased by 22.3% to S$346.6 million (US$256.4 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$283.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to higher revenue from a key client in our digital advertising and media vertical arising from the expansion of its existing campaigns, and a sharp growth in business volumes from a fintech client. During the same period, these gains were partially offset by lower revenue from clients in the travel and hospitality sector due to continuous uncertainties in the travel industry caused by widespread outbreak of COVID-19 variants throughout the year. · Our revenues from providing sales and digital marketing services increased by 73.2% to S$114.7 million (US$84.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$66.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to revenue generated from the expansion of campaigns for our key clients in our digital advertising and media vertical. · Our revenues from providing content monitoring and moderation services increased by 7.1% to S$85.9 million (US$63.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$80.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to higher regional multilingual headcount required by a client in our digital advertising and media vertical. · Our revenues from our other service fees increased by 63.7% to S$8.0 million (US$5.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to higher contribution from existing and new clients. The following table sets forth our service provided by amount for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. *Employee Benefits Expense. Our employee benefits expense increased by 31.7% to S$339.7 million (US$251.3 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$258.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the increase in employee headcount to support business volume, equity-settled share-based payment expense arising from the introduction, implementation of our maiden performance share plan (an employee share award plan) in November 2021 and general employee compensation adjustment with respect to individual employee performance and cost of living, talent retention and recruitment. Our average number of employees in 2021 increased 28.6% from 2020, which grew in tandem with higher business volume over the course of 2021 coupled with the commencement of new client campaigns. Depreciation Expense. Our depreciation expense increased by 20.5% to S$39.9 million (US$29.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$33.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to depreciation on capital expenditure invested in new and expansion capacities in India, Colombia, Thailand and the Philippines to support the business growth. In addition, there was increased depreciation on fit-out renovations and right-of-use assets with respect to our new office property leases onboarded in Spain and Japan to replace the co-working space memberships occupied previously. The above increase was partially reduced by certain of our renovation and equipment assets being fully depreciated during the year. Rental and Maintenance Expense. Our rental and maintenance expenses decreased by 7.3% to S$9.8 million (US$7.3 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the termination of certain co-working space memberships in Japan and Spain. Recruitment Expense. Our recruitment expense increased by 36.0% to S$10.9 million (US$8.1 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased expenses relating to higher referral and placement fees, higher expenses associated with immigration, work permits and onboarding for foreign employees induced by COVID-19-related procedural regulations implemented by governmental authorities of respective countries to support expanded campaigns in our Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines offices. Transport and Travelling Expense. Our transport and travelling expense decreased by 2.9% to S$1.5 million (US$1.1 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Telecommunication and Technology Expense. Our telecommunication and technology expense increased by 40.0% to S$8.8 million (US$6.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased costs of telecommunications infrastructure and software licenses to cope with business volume expansion in existing and new campaigns. Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased by 175.1% to S$8.4 million (US$6.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the interest and facility fees incurred on the S$252.7 million drawdown of a term loan credit facility on March 23, 2021. The loan has since been fully paid down on October 7, 2021. Other Operating Expense. Our other operating expenses decreased by 29.7% to S$11.1 million (US$8.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to transaction costs associated with the initial public offering exercise that was aborted in April 2020 hence, expensed off in the year ended December 31, 2020, the forfeiture of upfront deposits paid by our subsidiary in Japan due to premature termination of the rental commitment and lower foreign exchange loss, offset by higher spending on professional and advisory fees. Gain on Disposal of a Subsidiary. There was no disposal of any subsidiary in the year ended December 31, 2021. In the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a gain on disposal of a subsidiary of S$0.7 million related to the disposal of a dormant subsidiary in Indonesia. Share of Profit from an Associate. Our share of profit from an associate was insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Other Operating Income. Our other operating income decreased by 16.0% to S$6.3 million (US$4.7 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to lower government grants received by our Singapore subsidiaries in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Profit Before Income Tax. As a result of the foregoing, our profit before income tax increased by 23.0% to S$132.1 million (US$97.7 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$107.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The higher income tax expenses were mainly due to higher taxable profits from several key operating subsidiaries, higher dividend tax arising from increased distribution of taxable dividend in 2021 from several subsidiaries, and lower tax-exempt other income received by the Singapore operations in 2021 compared to 2020. Profit for the Year. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year increased by 20.6% to S$103.8 million (US$76.8 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$86.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Other Comprehensive Income. Our other comprehensive income was a loss of S$6.2 million (US$4.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a gain of S$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to effects of exchange rate differences on translation of foreign operations. Total Comprehensive Income for the Year. As a result of the foregoing, our total comprehensive income for the year increased by 12.7% to S$97.6 million (US$72.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2021 from S$86.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Adjustment to the reported September 30, 2021 Q3 Results of Operations* In our unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 (Q3 financials as reported on our Form 6-K filing on November 24, 2021), we had erroneously populated the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 with the cumulative exchange differences on translation of foreign operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The exchange differences on translation of foreign operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 should have been a loss of S$2,523,000 instead of a loss of S$3,671,000 as previously reported and the total comprehensive income should have been S$27,710,000 instead of S$26,562,000 as previously reported. There is no change to the amounts reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated statements. NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-IFRS financial measures. TDCX monitors EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because they assist the Company in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of items not directly resulting from its core operations. “EBITDA” represents profit for the year/period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, and depreciation expense. “EBITDA margin” represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents profit for the year/period before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation expense, and equity-settled share-based payment expense incurred in connection with our Performance Share Plan. “Adjusted EBITDA margin” represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. The Company believes that EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin help us to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing our understanding of past performance and future prospects. While the Company believes that EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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.
