2. REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

For the financial year ended March 31, 2025 ("FY25"),
the Company reported its highest ever annual profit
after tax
("PAT"), at Rs. 1,015 Crores. Total assets under
management
("AUM") increased to Rs. 5,81,498 Crores
as on March 31, 2025, up 24.5% year-on-year
("YoY").
This growth was aided by strong ARR net flows at Rs.
25,974 Crores during the year under review.

Further, the overall ARR AUM stood at Rs. 2,46,828
Crores, while ARR AUM of our wealth management
("Wealth") stood at Rs. 1,62,433 Crores, up 26.7% YoY,
even as the ARR AUM of asset management
("AMC")
business stood at Rs. 84,395 Crores, up 16.8% YOY.

The ARR Revenues for the full year grew by 28.2% YoY
at Rs. 1,701 Crores, led by growth in assets across
business segments and healthy retentions on ARR AUM.
Our ARR Revenues, as a percentage of total revenues
from operations, stood at 70%.

The year also witnessed higher transactional/brokerage
income, mainly driven by opportunities in the capital
markets. Our large UHNI client base enabled us to
capitalise on such opportunities, creating value for the
clients and the firm. Consequently, the total Revenue
from Operations was up 32.5% YoY, at Rs. 2,446 Crores,
for FY25.

In FY25, our Total Revenues were up 35.0% YoY at Rs.
2,652 Crores, also supported by higher other income.

Separately, our Total Costs were up 27.3% YoY, at Rs.
1,218 Crores, as we continued to invest in our new
initiatives.

Our employee costs rose by 28.6% YoY to Rs. 912
Crores. We expect the employee costs-to-Income ratio
to gradually settle down over in the near future as the
new business initiatives and incoming teams begin to
turn productive. Our overall Cost-to-Income ratio stood
at 45.9% in FY25 as against 48.7% in the financial year
ended March 31,2024
("FY24").

Our tangible return on equity ("RoE") was at 24.3% in
FY25, vis-a-vis 30.1% in FY24. The reduction in tangible
RoE was on account of the capital raised by way of the
Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) in October 2024.
The funds have been largely deployed for the growth of
our lending and Alternates' businesses.

Segment-wise, our wealth management division
witnessed a rise in Revenue from Operations to Rs.
1,845 Crores, from Rs 1,362 Crores in FY24, with
the ARR revenue rising to Rs. 1,101 Crores from Rs.
844 Crores in FY24. Further, the transaction based
revenue
("TBR") for this segment stood at Rs. 744
Crores in FY25, from Rs. 519 Crores in FY24 mainly
driven by macro opportunities and increased activity in
the capital markets. Other income saw an increase to
Rs. 177 Crores in FY25 from Rs. 107 Crores in FY24,
while the cost increased from Rs. 719 Crores in FY24
to Rs. 950 Crores in FY25 mainly due to investments in
new initiatives. Accordingly, our Profit Before Tax stood
at Rs. 1,073 Crores, for FY25, as against Rs. 750 Crores
in FY24, for the wealth management business.

The growth in our wealth management client base has
been very healthy for FY25. During the year, 360 ONE
Wealth successfully onboarded 440 clients (with
more than Rs 10 Crs ARR AUM). As on March 31, 2025,
clients, having total AUM of Rs 10 Crs , stood at 3,324
and accounted for 95% of Wealth AUM (excl. custody).
Overall, the segment manages assets for 7,500
relevant clients.

Moving to the Asset management vertical, our Revenue
from Operations rose to Rs. 600 Crores in FY25, as
against Rs. 483 Crores in FY24, and other income rose
to Rs. 29 Crores, from Rs. 13 Crores. Our cost increased
to Rs. 268 Crores in FY25, from Rs. 238 Crores in
FY24. Accordingly, the Profit Before Tax, for the Asset
Management segment, stood at Rs. 361 Crores in FY25
vis-a-vis Rs. 251 Crores in FY24.

Similar to our wealth management business, our asset
management segment also witnessed healthy growth

in number of client folios which rose from 1.89 lakhs in
FY24 to 2.29 lakhs in FY25.

In FY25, in recognition of its premier positioning, business
impact and leadership excellence, 360 ONE received
20 awards, including India's Best Wealth Manager by
Euromoney Private Banking, Best Private Bank - India
by Asian Private Banker, and Best Structured Finance
House by Finance Asia Achievement Awards 2024.

Lastly, 360 ONE Foundation reinforces 360 ONE's
commitment to leveraging its core competencies
to maximize both financial and social returns. The
Foundation has pioneered a more catalytic approach
towards CSR powered by blended finance and outcome-
based financing to deliver measured outcomes and
exponential impact for underserved communities.

3. MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW
YEAR IN REVIEW

The Indian economy continued its upward momentum,
growing at an estimated rate of 6.5% in FY 2024-251,
and maintaining its position as one of the fastest-growing
major economies globally. Currently, it ranks as the 4th
largest economy in the world and is estimated to become
the world's 3rd largest economy with a projected GDP of
USD 7.3 trillion by 20302.

Key growth drivers include:

• Effective inflation targeting by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI),

• Continued momentum in capital expenditure and
private investment,

• Strong performance in manufacturing and services,
underpinned by the PLI schemes, and

• Ongoing digital and infrastructure push by the
government.

Inflation remained within the RBI's comfort band, with
March 2025 CPI inflation at 3.36%3, indicating continued
moderation in food prices. Core inflation also stayed
benign, reflecting stable demand-side pressures. The
RBI maintained a neutral to slightly accommodative
stance, balancing growth needs with price stability,
amidst global uncertainties and domestic resilience.

India's total exports have shown remarkable growth
over the past decade, rising from USD 468 billion in
2013-14 to USD 825 billion in 2024-25, marking a
substantial increase of approximately 76%. More

importantly, merchandise exports, i.e., the export of
goods, has witnessed an marginal rise to USD 437.42
billion in FY 2024-25 compared to USD 437.07 billion in
the previous year, reflecting stability in goods-based
trade. Over the decade, merchandise exports have
risen from USD 310 billion in 2013-14 to USD 437.42
billion in 2024-25, marking a 39% increase, driven by
sectors such as engineering goods, petroleum products,
and electronics1.

GLOBAL INFLATION

Global annual inflation trickled to 4.7% in January 2025,
down from 4.8% in December 2024. Inevitably, regional
disparities persist2.

Union (EU) harmonised CPI stood at 2.8%, maintaining
the same pace as in December 20244. Meanwhile,
inflation in the United Kingdom increased by 3.9% in
January 2025, up from 3.5% in December 2024, fuelled
by increase in transportation, food, and non- alcoholic
beverages rates5. Across the pond, the CPI in the
United States rose to 3% in January 2025 from 2.9% in

FUTURE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

India has embarked on a confident march towards
becoming a developed nation by 2047. Resilient,
consistent, and sustainable economic growth will give
India the ability to leapfrog its growth curve. A robust
financial services sector will be critical to creating

systemic capacity and resilience. Giving wings to the
financial services sectors, specific sectors like wealth
management, asset management, stock broking, and
lending will lead from the front.

The demand for wealth management services in India
is set to rise exponentially. Growth in the sector is
precipitated by both a rise in the number of affluent
households in the country and an increase in total
wealth.

We are well-positioned to scale new heights while
maintaining the trust and confidence of those we serve,
through a combination of technology, geographic
expansion, and next-generation engagement.

STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES FOR 360 ONE WAM
LIMITED

• Continue to create curated solutions for our wealth
clients while holistically catering to their nuanced
needs.

• Leverage the newly acquired broking and research
capabilities from B&K Securities to offer a
comprehensive suite of capital market services
to both existing and new clients across all market
segments, including UHNI, HNI, retail, and
institutional investors.

• Utilise ET Money's well-established digital
platform and extensive reach to penetrate the mass
affluent market segment, offering tailored wealth
management solutions and exploring cross-selling
opportunities with 360 ONE's existing range of
products and services.

• The strategic collaboration of 360 ONE and UBS
has the potential to further enhance the value
proposition and unlock synergies for clients and
employees.

• Prioritise the development and promotion of
alternative investment products and sustainable
investment options to align with the evolving
preferences and demands of HNIs.

• Leverage existing capabilities to attract institutional
and family office capital for 360 ONE's asset
management business.

We have also sustained our pole position as the employer
of choice for our business areas, as is evidenced explicitly
by the addition of 100 senior private bankers and
deeply experienced investment professionals over the
last 24 months. Our employee retention figures continue
to be industry-leading, with regrettable attrition at only
5.3% for FY25. 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.

30. INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL

The Company has put in place adequate policies and

controls provides a reasonable assurance in respect
of providing financial and operational information,
complying with applicable statutes, safeguarding of
assets of the Company, prevention and detection of
frauds, accuracy and completeness of accounting
records and ensuring compliance with corporate
policies.

The internal control system works through three lines of
defence: the frontline managers who ensure that policies
and controls are implemented properly and effectively;
control functions like Risk Management, Compliance
and Finance who put in place the necessary policies
and controls; and finally, internal audit, which checks
that controls are effective and policies and procedures
are complied with in day to day operations.

Hence, the internal control system is regularly tested
and reviewed by the Internal Auditors, which is an
independent external firm working closely with the Risk
Management team and the Audit Committee of the
Board. The Audit Committee of the Company reviews
the internal audit plan for each year and approves
the same in consultation with the management and
Internal Auditors. The internal audit plan broadly
covers key business areas, information technology,
finance and accounts, treasury & banking operations,
legal compliance & secretarial, conflict of interest
management and human resource & payroll of the
Company. Significant audit observations (including those
pertaining to subsidiaries) and action taken reports
thereon are reviewed by the Audit Committee on a
quarterly basis. The Audit Committee also approves the
appointment and remuneration of the Internal Auditors
of the Company to ensure independence.

The Company also has a Policy on Vigil Mechanism and
Whistle Blower Mechanism which defines a mechanism
for its stakeholders to raise concerns internally and to
disclose information, which the individual believes shows
malpractice, serious irregularities, fraud, unethical
business conduct, abuse or wrong-doing or violation
of any Indian law and to protect such stakeholder from
retaliation or discrimination. As per this policy, the
Company has an ethics helpline and email ID monitored
by an independent agency which enables stakeholders to
freely communicate their concerns, even anonymously,
if they choose to do so. This is also an important element
in the Company's overall internal control framework.
