Risk intelligence
The removal of input tax credit on individual business segments creates ~1.74% annualized margin headwind on new business written after September 22, 2025. Renewal premium business also faces GST impact as input credits are no longer available, affecting the existing book.
Agency and bank channels delivered only 7% and 7% growth respectively versus management's expectations, requiring scheme tweaks and distributor re-engagement in September. While September recovered to 15%, sustained execution remains critical to meet full-year 13-14% growth targets.
OPEX ratio increased to 6.2% vs 5.8% YOY due to planned expansion (44 new branches, 3,500+ employee additions). Total cost ratio rose to 10.9% from 10.6%, creating margin dilution risk if premium growth moderates.
Protection business has longer profit recognition periods. As protection mix expands above 10% of APE, a greater portion of profits will be deferred, potentially constraining PAT growth relative to premium growth in the medium term.
