Infosys explained that during the December 2017 quarter, it had signed an Advance Pricing Agreement with the US administration that had led to the reversal of income tax expense provision of Rs 1,432 crore.

Under Parekh, Infosys is now attempting to bring the focus back on growth and business.

&quot;...Our Q3 performance is strong... We are progressing towards stability and are well positioned to serve our clients in the new areas of demand,&quot; Parekh said.
