Participant may recall that we had reached the MTF book of 12,317 18:37 18 minutes, 37 seconds million as of December 25. However, we saw a downfall in MTF book by 10.53% 18:46 18 minutes, 46 seconds in quarter ended March 26. The main reason behind this are as follows. 18:53 18 minutes, 53 seconds Changes in RBI policy for capital market intermediate treaty. That change in policy reduced the avenues available from the banks to meet the working 19:01 19 minutes, 1 second capital requirement of the company. As a result, we had to control our growth in MTF book. If we look at the market 19:09 19 minutes, 9 seconds conditions, this quarter ended March 26, markets were bearish. The nifty has 19:16 19 minutes, 16 seconds fallen by almost 15% and resultant investor sentiment have become adverse. 19:22 19 minutes, 22 seconds As a result, investors became cautious and we have also become cautious about creating new positions and continuing 19:30 19 minutes, 30 seconds existing positions which impacted our MTF book. Despite all this, our interest 19:37 19 minutes, 37 seconds income from MTF book stood at 432 million during quarter 4 26 and 1,515 19:45 19 minutes, 45 seconds million during full year 26, which translates into a healthy 50.2% 32% yi 19:52 19 minutes, 52 seconds growth for quarter 4 and 32.6% yi growth for the full year. I'm pleased 20:00 20 minutes to report again that we continue to maintain zero NPH on our MTF book as of March 31st 26 once again reflecting our judicious underwriting practices. 20:12 20 minutes, 12 seconds The book also remains granular with approximately 61% of the outstanding exposure coming from clients with 20:19 20 minutes, 19 seconds individual balances below 1 cr. Client loyalty and long-term relationship building continue to be a key strength of our operating model as of March 206. 20:32 20 minutes, 32 seconds Approximately 42% of our active clients have been associated with us for over five years. In addition, 83% of our 20:40 20 minutes, 40 seconds active clients are over 30 years of age, a demographic we consider particularly attractive as it typically 20:48 20 minutes, 48 seconds correspondence to higher investable surplus, more mature investor behavior and demand for a broader range of 20:55 20 minutes, 55 seconds financial products. Our people remain a critical enabler of our relationship, researchbacked and technology enabled 21:03 21 minutes, 3 seconds business model. As of March 31st, 26, our employee base stood at 2,214, 21:11 21 minutes, 11 seconds representing a net addition of 132 employees year on year. We view talent as a strategic asset, continue to invest 21:20 21 minutes, 20 seconds in building highquality teams to support our long-term growth objective. Turning to our balance sheet, our debt recruit 21:27 21 minutes, 27 seconds ratio stood at 0.62 as of March 31st, 26 compared to 1.8 8 as of March 31st 25. 21:36 21 minutes, 36 seconds This reflects a meaningful improvement in our capital structure and provide us with enhanced financial flexibility to 21:43 21 minutes, 43 seconds support growth particularly in a scalable business such as the MTF while maintaining prudent leverage levels. 21:51 21 minutes, 51 seconds With that update, we can now open the pure pool for questions.

Please go ahead. 22:57 22 minutes, 57 seconds Uh good morning to the team. Uh I have two questions. My first question to Mr. 23:02 23 minutes, 2 seconds Gupta is uh how do you plan to guide the company's broking and wealth management over the next uh few quarters? Uh 23:11 23 minutes, 11 seconds especially in terms of bringing in new clients, expanding advisory module and using digital platforms to improve the 23:18 23 minutes, 18 seconds investors uh uh investors experience. That's the first question. I'll ask a second question after. Thank you. 23:28 23 minutes, 28 seconds Okay, thank you for the question. Uh to be really frank with you, if you really see we do have in our group a wealth 23:37 23 minutes, 37 seconds management company separately than this company over here this company is by and large focusing towards broking and 23:44 23 minutes, 44 seconds distribution of products. But having said that as a philosophy we are addressing all the investment need of a 23:52 23 minutes, 52 seconds specific customer uh from from all respect whatever investment needs of a customer by way of 24:00 24 minutes providing them various different investment products suitable to that particular investor. And what we are 24:08 24 minutes, 8 seconds trying to do we have created a basket of products suitable to a specific customer segment as we are catering to uh almost 24:17 24 minutes, 17 seconds all category of customer. We have created a basket and providing them along with the broking uh uh platform 24:26 24 minutes, 26 seconds which is being provided to those who are interested in uh probably broking directly by themselves or in on on 24:36 24 minutes, 36 seconds investment side or probably trading on investment based trading not future and 24:42 24 minutes, 42 seconds options largely. So that's our focus in this particular company. In terms of uh you know answering your question on on 24:51 24 minutes, 51 seconds technology side, we are strengthening that platform day in day out trying to provide that platform in such a way that 24:58 24 minutes, 58 seconds all the deliveries which which are going to be there as an relationship manager on the marketplace is going to be 25:05 25 minutes, 5 seconds available on our platform digital platform. Right now uh broking is already there which we are constantly 25:14 25 minutes, 14 seconds improvising and if you really look at our broking uh customer base number almost 60% of the customers are already 25:23 25 minutes, 23 seconds uh pl you know working on our digital platform. In terms of distribution, mutual fund is also available and we 25:31 25 minutes, 31 seconds will keep on adding our other distribution uh product uh product for the distribution side on on digital 25:39 25 minutes, 39 seconds platform. So so so as I said uh initially our focus is based on digital where you know complete delivery on 25:48 25 minutes, 48 seconds digital platforms are going to be available so that execution ease is available for the customer. At the same 25:55 25 minutes, 55 seconds time our relationship managers are going to go speak to customer have a touch base and understand pure have a clear 26:05 26 minutes, 5 seconds understanding about the customer is also going to be there. 26:09 26 minutes, 9 seconds Thank you. My second question to Mr. uh Tarak Shah uh as you oversee the company's financial health, how is 26:16 26 minutes, 16 seconds Anandati preparing to manage risks in broking and advisory business such as uh 26:23 26 minutes, 23 seconds market uh volatility or any compliance uh compliance uh change compliance 26:30 26 minutes, 30 seconds changes and uh any credit risk you know uh while keeping the profitability stable and uh growth on track. Just want 26:37 26 minutes, 37 seconds to understand your plan of action. Thank you. Yeah, I think Rufi can take it probably. 26:44 26 minutes, 44 seconds Yeah. 26:46 26 minutes, 46 seconds Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, thanks for asking this particular question. So, there are two approach which we have always 26:55 26 minutes, 55 seconds followed in our particular I can say this particular company as well as overall group. So first of all we try to 27:01 27 minutes, 1 second always see that how we can go into a I can say business where customer interest should be protected protected at a first 27:09 27 minutes, 9 seconds first level that is the first object and second we are conservative in terms of our approach towards the risk management side a simple example I can share with 27:18 27 minutes, 18 seconds you like MTA product which is a leverage product from the regulator side and in that particular product the regulator has defined a basket of almost I can say 27:27 27 minutes, 27 seconds 2,000 plus stocks in terms of the MTF availability at our end we have restricted this particular basket with our internal committee towards this 27:36 27 minutes, 36 seconds selection of the stock to less than 1,000 stocks in total and many of the stocks where we have increased the margins as compared to whatever exchange 27:44 27 minutes, 44 seconds is charging in form of the MTF book we we are conserative and we have increased the margin level from oversight so we are keep on doing our internal risk 27:52 27 minutes, 52 seconds management in such a tight way that whatever regulator is allowing even we are controlling further towards that particular thing and because of all things like we have highlighted in terms 28:00 28 minutes of our uh NPA so far in MTA book we are running this particular business since last 8 years uh 8 years plus and NPA is 28:09 28 minutes, 9 seconds zero and towards the I can say the other part to the compliance and all those things we ensure that all the rules and 28:18 28 minutes, 18 seconds regulations whatever exchange they are prescribed those should be followed and even in those rules or regulations also wherever the possibilities there to 28:26 28 minutes, 26 seconds further I can say strengthen we keep on working towards uh that particular aspect. Uh in overall basis we are also part of the QSB broker at the exchange 28:35 28 minutes, 35 seconds level and at our end I can say exchange vigilance exchange surveillance is also always there comparatively more tighter than the normal I can say other category 28:43 28 minutes, 43 seconds of the broker. So combining all these things we are always conservative towards uh these all aspects. Last important aspect which is related to in 28:51 28 minutes, 51 seconds terms of the net equity ratio because you have asked the financial and health related things. So you might have observed in the numbers which we have shared our debt equity ratio also we 28:59 28 minutes, 59 seconds have reduced significantly and currently it's just at a6 kind of uh level and our endeavor is there that we want to 29:07 29 minutes, 7 seconds restrict ourselves up to max 1.5 kind of debt equity ratio. I hope I have clarified your uh question. 29:16 29 minutes, 16 seconds Thank you and best of luck. 29:23 29 minutes, 23 seconds Thank you. A reminder to all the participants, you may press star and one to ask a question. 29:37 29 minutes, 37 seconds A reminder to all you may press star and one to ask a question. 29:47 29 minutes, 47 seconds Uh while the question to your is here I'm just going to kind of chip in with one question more on the uh segmentation 29:55 29 minutes, 55 seconds between two businesses. Uh my question to uh Mr. Musta is uh does the guidance of let's say uh we've talked about the 30:02 30 minutes, 2 seconds 50/50 between broking and non grouping segments. Now how do you see that uh kind of shaping up uh you know given the uh you know general condition of the 30:10 30 minutes, 10 seconds market and things like that? do you how do you look at that kind of uh uh progressing over the next couple of years? 30:18 30 minutes, 18 seconds Uh thank you Dakar. uh actually if you really look at we have already I mean in today's uh uh uh I mean in this year's 30:26 30 minutes, 26 seconds uh uh you know performance we can see 51% is coming from broking 49% from distribution but we are not happy with 30:34 30 minutes, 34 seconds this kind of a scenario because we have seen uh a good amount of traction in distribution side which has grown by 30:41 30 minutes, 41 seconds almost 44% in distribution side but uh you know if we really look at broking and other in broking side it is not really grown in that particular patient. 30:52 30 minutes, 52 seconds So what we are trying to see over a period of time we are going to be happy and I'm sure we will be able to achieve that 50 50% kind of a scenario uh and we 31:01 31 minutes, 1 second will maintain that by looking at that both the segment which is broking and non-broking should able to grow at a 31:10 31 minutes, 10 seconds specific steady growth. So what we are seeing as broking should also grow constantly continuously year on year 31:17 31 minutes, 17 seconds basis in a revenue term and non-broking should also grow constantly continuously yearon-year basis right now for first 31:25 31 minutes, 25 seconds few years I personally believe that our non-broking should be able to grow somewhere around 40 to 44 45% growth 31:33 31 minutes, 33 seconds which we have shown right now this year also and in and broking site since it is a market denominated factor but still we 31:42 31 minutes, 42 seconds will be able to grow uh somewhere around 15% or so uh in a broking revenue that's what we are trying to achieve and we 31:50 31 minutes, 50 seconds will be able to achieve and we are trying to work towards it based on that particular growth factor I personally feel that overall revenue number what we 31:59 31 minutes, 59 seconds are trying and aiming to achieve is somewhere around 15 to 20% growth yearon-year basis thank you that helps maybe I'll just 32:06 32 minutes, 6 seconds chip in one more uh before the other participants come in how should we think of the MTF fields going forward uh given 32:15 32 minutes, 15 seconds are the spread sustainable or they expect uh some competitive pressures to come in because there seems to be a bit 32:22 32 minutes, 22 seconds of competition a lot of brokers coming into this particular segment. So what's uh Arand's take on this particular part of the business? 32:32 32 minutes, 32 seconds uh I think uh this is a part and partial of you know looking at pressure coming by competition delivering at a lower 32:40 32 minutes, 40 seconds ease kind of or generating lower ease or delivering at a low interest to various 32:46 32 minutes, 46 seconds different customer as of now at we are not facing uh much of a you know pressure on that count because there is 32:55 32 minutes, 55 seconds already a good pent-up demand available with us and we will keep on addressing the two things as Mr. Rukra in our 33:04 33 minutes, 4 seconds address has already you know elaborated that the whole funding requirement requires uh the whole MTF book expanding 33:13 33 minutes, 13 seconds MTF book requires uh uh you know capital and right now we were present I mean in 33:20 33 minutes, 20 seconds last quarter because of various RBI guidelines though it is being postponed to another quarter but the requirement 33:27 33 minutes, 27 seconds of margin was greater and we were preserving cash for addressing those kind of a requirement which were earlier 33:35 33 minutes, 35 seconds being met by various different uh you know bank financing or and BFC financing. uh over a period of time we 33:44 33 minutes, 44 seconds will be again achieved to get those funding and financing from various different routes and again the extra or 33:51 33 minutes, 51 seconds spare funding available uh for the company will start expanding our MTA group that's how we are trying to probably address that issue in terms of 34:00 34 minutes ease I think uh there might be a possibility but as of now we are trying to maintain those eels which we have 34:09 34 minutes, 9 seconds been able to generate so far and we believe we will be able to uh achieve that yield uh because very minuscule 34:16 34 minutes, 16 seconds percentage of customers are utilizing the MTA book as of now with us and we do 34:23 34 minutes, 23 seconds have requirement and demand in the marketplace which can be addressed by us. 34:29 34 minutes, 29 seconds That's helpful. Uh so maybe you can take the uh participants with you next please. 34:38 34 minutes, 38 seconds Thank you. 34:40 34 minutes, 40 seconds A reminder to all the participants. You may press star tal one to ask a question. 34:46 34 minutes, 46 seconds We will take the next question from the line of Swana Mukharji from BNK securities. Please go ahead. 34:53 34 minutes, 53 seconds Hi sir, thank you for the opportunity and congrats on a good set of numbers. U couple of questions from my side. So 35:00 35 minutes first of all in the broking uh revenue you highlighted that uh you focus towards the 50 o% kind of a growth. So 35:08 35 minutes, 8 seconds in your growth strategy, I just wanted to understand that do you expect this to uh play out as a function of market beta 35:17 35 minutes, 17 seconds that you know as we move towards a more normalized situation uh from where we are in the geopolitical scenario or uh I 35:25 35 minutes, 25 seconds mean how how would you be thinking in terms of say active client etc and what are you doing to maybe uh uh you build 35:34 35 minutes, 34 seconds upon that part uh of uh the business that you know active clients visa with the number of trades that they are putting in or the value that they are 35:43 35 minutes, 43 seconds putting in. So that is my first question. Secondly, when you're broking business uh if you could highlight how much of the uh you know mix is from the 35:51 35 minutes, 51 seconds derivative side and how much is on the cash side and if there is a futures element to that if any impact you are 35:57 35 minutes, 57 seconds seeing because of the ST increase. Uh and uh thirdly sir u uh in in terms of 36:05 36 minutes, 5 seconds the uh in terms of the RBI uh uh you know regulation change related to the uh 36:13 36 minutes, 13 seconds prop book of uh broker. So just wanted to understand if we have any exposure like that and if so what is the 36:20 36 minutes, 20 seconds proportion and uh what are our thoughts on that. Yeah this will be my question sir. Thank you. 36:27 36 minutes, 27 seconds Thank you for your uh questions. 36:30 36 minutes, 30 seconds Uh typically I'll start addressing uh point by point on your on your questions. You asked about the broking 36:39 36 minutes, 39 seconds revenue. Technically if you really look at it our focus is how to probably stabilize the broking business. I mean 36:46 36 minutes, 46 seconds if you really see across the board we do have cash market broking business and derivative market 36:54 36 minutes, 54 seconds broking business. And if you really look at derivative market broking business again there is a split of you know 37:02 37 minutes, 2 seconds future and options market in equity side uh you know commodity side market which is a commodity volumes and third is 37:10 37 minutes, 10 seconds currency market. Now we always our endeavor is always to take and address the needs of investments 37:19 37 minutes, 19 seconds uh rather than heavy trading and over leverage trading because in derivative largely if you really go and see uh you 37:26 37 minutes, 26 seconds know options and fender markets are largely uh leverage positions and that should be given or that should be 37:35 37 minutes, 35 seconds utilized that platform should be used by those kind of investor who understand that space Well and that's why we say if 37:44 37 minutes, 44 seconds you understand really well you must become active in in that particular segment. Having said that from our 37:51 37 minutes, 51 seconds expertise I think we always try to create product we always try to create strategies to you know look at 37:59 37 minutes, 59 seconds investments needs why I'm saying that if you really look at our you know share revenue mix which is your second uh 38:07 38 minutes, 7 seconds question also between cash and uh you know derivative it is split into 50/50 38:14 38 minutes, 14 seconds so we are largely denominated looking at cash market segment broking business. 38:20 38 minutes, 20 seconds And then if you really look at derivative businesses, we again started focusing and trying to see how we can 38:27 38 minutes, 27 seconds create a hedge position or we can create a position where probably your uh you know uh losses are limited and you are 38:36 38 minutes, 36 seconds not overleveraging yourself for the customer and those kind of a positions we are allowing to take a customer. So having said that we are focusing on 38:45 38 minutes, 45 seconds commodity businesses where probably arbitrage kind of opportunity can be utilized and used by the customers and guiding them if they are convinced they 38:54 38 minutes, 54 seconds are executing those kind of a trades on those platform. Similar situations are there in future and option se segment 39:01 39 minutes, 1 second also. As a result, most of the time even if our derivative books are there, I 39:08 39 minutes, 8 seconds think they are growing with a specific pace and growing under a specific pace and do not really hampering because of 39:17 39 minutes, 17 seconds you know various different regulations which are coming in act because in with us most of our customer I'm not saying 39:25 39 minutes, 25 seconds all of our customer but a large portion of our customers are using these uh you know activities ities and they are 39:33 39 minutes, 33 seconds already calculating their cost and based on that if you know markets are providing the opportunity they are 39:40 39 minutes, 40 seconds executing trades and we feel that is happening. So that's how we are trying to manage our revenue mix. That's how we 39:48 39 minutes, 48 seconds are trying to make our broking revenue more stable so that you know the market 39:55 39 minutes, 55 seconds you know eventualities do not really hamper. We create a scenario pessimistic, optimistic and reasonable 40:02 40 minutes, 2 seconds and based on that we are trying to constantly work towards it. Obviously we have not reached to a level where we can 40:09 40 minutes, 9 seconds create a balance but we are constantly working towards it to reach to a balance uh broking revenue which can be uh you 40:18 40 minutes, 18 seconds know less impacted from the market volatility. Now coming back to your RBI book on a prop side just to clarify you 40:27 40 minutes, 27 seconds in our this company we do not deal with proprietary book. We do not have a single pie or a proprietary uh activity 40:35 40 minutes, 35 seconds in this book. So that rules and regulations are not at all impacting us in this company. I hope I have addressed all the things. 40:44 40 minutes, 44 seconds Yes sir. Understood sir very clear. 40:46 40 minutes, 46 seconds Thank you for the detail. Yeah, just to add to that uh sir u in terms of uh the 40:54 40 minutes, 54 seconds AUM side which I have highlighted in my communication also that AUM side even in last financial year which was really 41:01 41 minutes, 1 second tough from the I can say market perspective where market was down on a I can say the full year basis if I will 41:08 41 minutes, 8 seconds talk then it's down by almost 4%. Then also we were able to enhance our total a month amount to book inside that asset 41:15 41 minutes, 15 seconds under custody. We were able to increase by 16%. And because of I can say that particular increase we are having a 41:24 41 minutes, 24 seconds particular I can say confidence level where we will able to grow going forward uh in this particular current market scenario also 41:32 41 minutes, 32 seconds right sir. So uh I mean just to clarify I mean I think this is I think a great data that you have highlighted. wanted 41:39 41 minutes, 39 seconds to understand that this like uh e EU that you have increased because you know how much can we attribute to maybe say 41:46 41 minutes, 46 seconds active client increase and how much can we attribute to say organically uh the uh you know individual books have grown 41:55 41 minutes, 55 seconds uh these aums which we are talking about that aum or a uh that increases there from the I can say more from our 42:04 42 minutes, 4 seconds existing client base uh at the same time we are continuously adding new client base also uh total I can say total number of client side if I will say then 42:13 42 minutes, 13 seconds we have increased last financial year or total client base by 12% in total number uh active client base surely last year the activity level was little bit down 42:21 42 minutes, 21 seconds so it was almost I can say slightest or two 3% down but the positive part is in terms of one side the total number of client has also been announced and 42:29 42 minutes, 29 seconds second side the AUM from even existing client is also increasing on constant basis understood sir very clear thank you 42:37 42 minutes, 37 seconds thank Thank you so much. Thank you and all the best for Thanksgiving. 43:03 43 minutes, 3 seconds A reminder to all, you may press star and one to ask a question. 43:23 43 minutes, 23 seconds Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen.
