2. REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

For the financial year ended March 31, 2024 ("FY24"), the Company reported its highest ever profit after tax ("PAT"), at INR 802 Crores. Considering the business and financial numbers; in line with our focus on average recurring revenue ("ARR") assets, total ARR assets under management ("AUM") increased to INR 2,27,879 Crores which was up 36.3% year-on-year ("YoY"). This growth was driven by strong net flows at INR 26,915 Crores during the year under review.

Further, the overall active ARR AUM stood at INR 1,99,606 Crores, while ARR AUM of our wealth management ("Wealth") stood at INR 1,55,631 Crores, up 43% YoY, even as the ARR AUM of asset management ("AMC") business stood at INR 72,248 Crores, up 24% YOY.

The ARR Revenues for the full year grew by 13.6% YoY at INR 1,331 Crores, led by growth in assets across business segments and healthy retentions on Active ARR AUM. Our ARR Revenues, as a percentage of total revenues from operations, stood at 72%.

Further, the total Revenue from Operations was up 17.9% YoY, at INR 1,846 Crores, for FY24. The year also witnessed higher transactional/brokerage income, mainly driven by opportunities in the private markets. Our large UHNI client base has allowed us to capitalise on such opportunities, creating value for the clients and the firm. In FY24, our Total Revenues were up 25.3% YoY at INR 1,965 Crores, supported by higher other income. Separately, our Total Costs were up 33.1% YoY, at INR 956 Crores, due to the addition of multiple large teams in the Wealth segment and investment in the HNI and Global business segments.

Our employee costs rose by 36.3% YoY, on account of additional headcount, including certain senior level hires and accordingly, our Cost-to-Income ratio stood at 48.7%. We expect the employee costs ratio to gradually settle down over the next few quarters as the new business initiatives and new teams start generating revenues. The overall cost to income ratio, without the expense attributable to the new initiatives, was 44.4%.

Our tangible return on equity ("RoE") was at 30.1% in FY24, vis-?-vis 26.7% in FY23. Importantly, our tangible RoE (i.e., RoE excluding goodwill & intangibles) was robust at 35.2% for the last quarter, as a result of prudent capital management and regular dividend payout.

Segment-wise, our wealth management division witnessed a rise in Revenue from Operations to INR 1,362 Crores, from Rs 1,110 Crores in FY23, with the ARR revenue rising to INR 847 Crores from INR 716 Crores in the year ago period. Further, the transaction based revenue ("TBR") for this segment stood at INR 515 Crores in FY24, from INR 394 Crores in FY23 mainly driven by opportunities in the private markets. Other income too saw an increase to INR 107 Crores in FY24 from INR 3 Crores in FY23, while the cost increased from INR 527 Crores to INR 719 Crores in the same period mainly due to additional headcount, including certain senior level hires. Accordingly, our Profit Before Tax stood at INR 750 Crores, for FY24, as against INR 586 Crores in FY23, for the wealth management business.

The growth in our wealth management client base has been very healthy for FY24, given that we have onboarded over 400 new clients with INR 10 Crores+ ARR AUM. Clients with a total AUM of INR 10 Crores+ stood at over 2,750 and account for 93% of our Wealth AUM (excluding custody assets).

Moving to the Asset management vertical, our Revenue from Operations rose to INR 483 Crores in FY24, as against INR 455 Crores in the previous year, and other income rose to INR 13 Crores, from INR 1 Crore in the year-ago period. Our cost increased to INR 238 Crores in FY24, from INR 191 Crores in the previous fiscal. Accordingly, the Profit Before Tax, for the Asset Management segment, stood at INR 259 Crores in FY24 vis-?-vis INR 264 Crores in FY23.

Similar to our wealth management business, our asset management segment also witnessed healthy growth in number of client folios which rose from 167,000 in FY23 to 189,000 in FY24 Additionally, we continue to take pride in the external recognitions received by our Wealth and AMC businesses. We are very proud to be awarded the Best Private Banker at both Euromoney and Asian Private Bank for last year. Lastly, we are very excited by the path-breaking work being done by the 360 ONE Foundation ("Foundation"). Over the last few years, we have transformed the traditional grant giving to a catalytic approach towards CSR, leveraging outcome-based & blended financing to unlock additional pools of capital and driving exponential impact for the end beneficiaries. We look forward to sharing more on Foundation's work over the course of the year.

3. MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW

YEAR IN REVIEW

In 2023, India's economy was on an upward trajectory closing the year with a GDP of USD 3.73 trillion and a GDP per capita of USD 2,610, outpacing the global average growth rate of 3.2%¹. The key factors driving this growth include inflation management, investment, and sectoral performance.

Inflation in India started settling with CPI inflation in March 2024 at 4.85%, well within the Reserve Bank of India's comfort zone. The core inflation remained stable, suggesting food price shocks were the main contributors to inflation deviations. The Reserve Bank of India's neutral monetary policy aimed to stabilize prices amidst supply chain disruptions.

Exports showed promise, particularly in telecom instruments, electric machinery, and drug formulations, buoyed by increased FDI and FPI inflows projected at USD 44.4 billion and USD 33.9 billion, respectively in 2024. The manufacturing sector saw robust growth, aided by initiatives like the Production-Linked Incentive ("PLI") scheme.

GLOBAL INFLATION

In December 2023, the euro area annual inflation rate rose to 2.9% from 2.4% in November, marking a significant increase from the 9.2% rate observed a year earlier². Similarly, the European Union's annual inflation rate climbed to 3.4% from 3.1% in November, compared to 10.4% a year prior. According to Eurostat, Denmark, Italy, and Belgium reported the lowest annual rates at 0.4% and 0.5% respectively, while Czechia, Romania, and Slovakia recorded the highest rates at 7.6%, 7.0%, and 6.6% respectively. In December, services made the highest contribution to the annual euro area inflation rate, followed by food, alcohol & tobacco, non-energy industrial goods, and energy.

Meanwhile, US consumer prices surged 3.4% annually in 2023³, a marked improvement from December 2022's rate of 6.5%. The monthly Consumer Price Index("CPI") rose by 0.3% in December compared to the previous month, with shelter costs driving over half of the monthly increase. Although higher than November, gas prices remained relatively stable. Despite the annual acceleration, the underlying inflation measure slowed further.

India witnessed a moderation in CPI inflation pressures in 2023⁴, with high energy prices being a significant contributor in 2022 but easing during 2023. The moderation continued in the early months of 2024, with March 2024 inflation coming in at a 10-month low of 4.85% on moderating food prices.

FUTURE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

While the global economic landscape is peppered with challenges, including sticky inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and the possibility of a slowdown, we are confident about the significant opportunity for Indian wealth and asset managers.

India witnessed more than 150 OFS/IPOs and over 600 stake sales in FY24, unlocking approximately USD 27 billion in value while the data from top 50 cities suggest there are about 150,000 folios with ticket sizes ranging above INR 1 crore. The robust growth of 12-15%+ CAGR, depicted by high-ticket financial asset classes such as AIF, PMS and unlisted equity further strengthens our belief even as the annual growth projections of 13-15%, over the next 3-5 years, for UHNI and HNI clients indicates a higher level of wealth creation in these segments as compared to the average economic growth estimates.

We have always believed in defining sharp strategic focus areas, creating deep competitive moats, and giving disproportionate attention to execution. This has allowed us to take the right capital allocation decisions, significantly invest in talent, platform and technology, and drive innovation on products and propositions and we are even better positioned today to sustain our offerings, while scaling up to meet the requirements of larger client segments and new business engines.

Going forward, we see our strategic thrust on four key areas –

• Geographic deepening for our core UHNI Wealth clients,

• Extending our core to be the Wealth Manager of choice for the HNI segment,

• Building a robust proposition for the ‘Global Indian', and

• Driving growth in our asset management business through an expansion in institutional relationships and new fund strategies.

With the new business areas starting to accrue revenues, we would expect our overall cost-to-income to reduce to the 44% level over the next 2-3 years. On the Capital Efficiency front, our tangible ROE has moved from 7.7% to 30% over the last 4 years, owing to a prudent release of additional capital as well as continued dividend distribution approach. We have also sustained our pole position as being the employer of choice for our business areas, as is specifically evidenced by the addition of a significant number of senior private bankers as well as the deep, experienced investment professionals we have added over the last 12-24 months. Our employee retention figures continue to be industry-leading, with voluntary attrition at only 5.4% for FY24. We will continue to selectively add talent in specific business growth areas as well as maintain our strategic focus on Technology and Data as we go ahead into FY25 and beyond.
