JM Financial Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

Tariffs and geopolitical conflicts fuelled global volatility

Fiscal 2026 was impacted by volatility, the events which inflicted pain kept on varying throughout the year. It started with US President Trumps Liberation Day tariff announcement in April 2025 and with every passing day the level of uncertainty global markets had to face, kept on increasing. The trade war between US and China, engulfed the entire world as the reciprocal tariffs were imposed on every trading partner of US, with an intent to correct the trade imbalance US had with these countries. India was subjected to 26% reciprocal tariffs while China was levied 34% import duty by the US. Tariffs did not remain static, as India was levied a punitive tariff (50%) in August 2025 in retaliation to Indias continued imports of Russian crude oil. By February 2026, India and US had agreed on an interim trade deal wherein US tariffs on India reduced to 18% and India agreed to cut tariffs on US goods to Nil. However, this positive development was short-lived after the supreme court in US deemed the country specific tariffs illegal. The tariffs were later brought down to 10% by US. Other than the tariff tantrums, global economy had to face a number of geo-political conflicts including between Israel-Palestine, Israel-Iran, unrest in Africa, India-Pakistan along with the ongoing conflict between Russia-Ukraine and the major escalation between US-Iran and Israel. Of all the conflicts, the one between Israel and Iran in June 2025 had a noticeable macro impact on a global scale as Brent crude oil prices surged +20% in the first 20 days in June 2025, which took 6 months to normalise. Equity markets in US were in a bull run since April 2025 on the back of AI adoption, broader index (S&P) gained 36%, the tech-led Nasdaq index was up ~ 50%. The 75 bps rate cuts by the Fed since September 2025 supported the investments in the AI but was in response to the weakening labour market and the anticipated inflationary surge fuelled by tariffs, which did not materialise. However, the major escalation in the conflict between US-Iran and Israel severely impacted global trade - mainly EM economies due to their heavy reliance (50-90%) on oil/gas in this region which got choked due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). Irans unexpected retaliation in the form of asymmetric warfare extended the conflict to more than a month. Crude oil price surged 60% since February, unlike in India the pump prices of fuel rose by +40% in developed economies like the US. Central banks in EU and US deliberated rate hike possibilities to address the anticipated inflationary concerns. The Dollar index reflected weakening bias throughout the year amidst volatility but the elevated crude oil price exerted pressure on the currencies of the EM economies. If we leave aside crude oil, gold outperformed every other asset class in FY 2025-26 with a 60% return. US treasury yields remained rangebound (4-4.5%) and closed the year at 4.31%.

India: From goldilocks to severe supply disruptions

Indias macroeconomic narrative revolved around the uncertainties from US tariffs to being a goldilocks scenario and later to one impacted by the severe supply disruptions caused by the month-long conflict in the West Asia. Market sentiments worsened on India being levied punitive tariffs by US and later for not having any AI play compared to other economies. FIIs consistently sold in Indian markets (USD 16.9bn, of which USD 19.7bn in equities) throughout the year but it intensified in March 2026 (USD 13.6bn, of which USD 12.7bn in equities) at the peak of West Asian conflict. INR (Rs. ) depreciated at a steep rate of 9.9% against the USD in FY 2025-26, of which 4.1% happened in March 2026. Amidst FII selling, SIP flows continued to grow at 20.8% YoY to 3.5tn in FY 2025-26. The deflationary phase throughout FY 2025-26 aided the domestic economy to navigate the supply shocks to some extent however it led to a lower nominal GDP growth of 8.6% in FY 2025-26. The RBI remained growth supportive by frontloading policy easing to the tune of 125bps rate cuts (100bps in FY 2025-26). Amidst uncertainties, India signed trade deals with a number of economies including UK, Oman, New Zealand and the deal with the European Union was termed as the mother of all trade deals during FY 2025-26. Considering these trade deals take time to be effective and the global trade was impacted by uncertainties, Indias trade deficit deteriorated to USD 333bn in FY 2025-26 versus USD 287bn in FY 2024-25, however Indias services surplus (USD 214bn in FY 2025-26 versus USD 189bn in FY 2024-25) continued to cushion Indias overall trade balance. Moreover, Indias forex reserves continued to remain comfortable at ~ USD 700bn with an import cover of ~11 times.

Fiscal situation remained tight

The central government continued on its fiscal consolidation path, however at a slower pace as the fiscal deficit target set for FY 2026-27 was set at 4.3% versus 4.4% in FY 2025-26. With an aim to revive consumption demand in the economy, the government announced measures like income tax exemption as well as GST rate rationalisation. Despite these consumption boosting measures, the government continued to push for capex, as reflected in the allocation of 12.2tn in FY 2026-27.

Governments fiscal position remains comfortable as per the revised estimates for FY 2025-26, as during April-February 2026, Indias fiscal deficit forms 80.4% of the annual estimate of 15.6tn. However, for FY 2026-27, elevated crude oil prices and restricted access to SoH could further disrupt the supply chains which would have fiscal implications depending on how the government reacts. Additional fiscal hit due to the escalation in West Asia would have implications on governments capex allocation. Bond markets had factored in an end to the rate cut cycle moreover it reflected fiscal pressures due to higher-than-expected gross borrowing. Yields hardened ~ 60bps since June 2025 to ~ 7% by the end of FY 2025-26, which later eased 21bps from its peak of 7.12% to 6.91%.

Inflation not a concern; services surplus acted as a cushion

India faced deflationary pressures throughout FY 2025-26, which aided consumption especially in rural areas however, nominal GDP growth moderated to 8.6% in FY 2025-26. Elevated oil prices deteriorated external balance however the sustained growth in services flows (IT services and GCCs) cushioned Indias external Balance. There is a risk of AI disruption and the geo-political conflict negatively impacting or moderating services flows including remittances. Such a scenario could exert further pressure on Indias external balance as well as the currency, as it would aggravate FII outflows as well. Inflation remained under control despite crude oil prices rising above the USD 100/bl mark in March 2026, as the government chose not to pass on the burden to the consumers and partially took the fiscal hit of excise duty cut ( 10/litre) on petrol and diesel.

Our Group has evolved over a period of time to a leading diversified financial services firm. We have a wide range of product offerings and cater to several customer segments. The core business area of the Group remains financial services. Since May 2024, the Group has embarked on journey involving well-structured transformation aimed at focusing on core-strengths, de-risking the balance sheet and ensuring sustainable, long-term value creation for stakeholders. The group has pivoted from capital-intensive on balance sheet wholesale credit to a syndication led ecosystem leveraging the origination, underwriting and the distribution expertise of the group. The businesses have accordingly been repositioned around four distinct growth pillars

- Corporate Advisory and Capital Markets, Wealth and Asset Management, Private Markets and Affordable Home Loans. The aforesaid structural realignment has enabled sharper strategic focus and efficient allocation of capital across businesses. The group shall be focused on growing fees and commission income and has made significant investments especially in the wealth and asset management businesses. Further, in alignment with the groups capital-light model, dividend to shareholders has increased.

Over the last four quarters, an aggregate of approximately 5.95 per share of dividend has been paid or proposed, resulting in a distribution of approximately 570 crore as dividend.

With the Groups initial investment and structural realignment phase now largely complete, the strategy and focus of the Group is to improve productivity, achieve higher operating leverage and continue to enhance the origination and distribution capabilities.

Corporate Advisory and Capital Markets

The focus is on enhancing the origination and distribution capabilities and garner further wallet share from clients.

Wealth Management

Having upfronted our human capital expansion by scaling our Relationship Manager and sales headcount by 30% to 1,046 professionals in FY 2025-26, this vertical is well positioned for significant operating leverage.

Within Private Markets, the group has transitioned from an on-balance-sheet lending model to an origination, syndication and distribution-led model. This approach leverages the groups longstanding origination capabilities, institutional relationships and distribution network while significantly reducing concentration risk and capital consumption. The strategy is expected to enhance risk-adjusted returns, improve earnings resilience and release capital for redeployment into higher-growth opportunities.

Affordable Home Loans

Our Affordable Housing Finance business represents a key growth engine, with Assets Under Management ( AUM ) expanding close to ~ 3,500 crore across the network of 151 branches.

Institutional Equities

Institutional Equities offers full suite of brokerage services catering to domestic and foreign institutional clients across cash and derivatives segment. Business takes pride in providing differentiated research spanning 370+ companies, up 25% over FY 2024-25. Research continues to drive thought leadership across sectors, which is well demonstrated by thematic and India strategy reports. Clients have appreciated our ability to generate actionable stock ideas and analytical capabilities. Pillared by robust technology which not only supports complex trade execution but also manages seamless post-trade settlement, business is well aided by its experienced talent pool ensuring world class be-spoke client servicing and all-round coverage.

In FY 2025-26, Indian equities continued to witness strong participation across primary and secondary markets, supported by resilient domestic flows, even as global uncertainties remained elevated. Despite this momentum, yields in the institutional equities business came under pressure due to rising trade volumes, intensified competition, and greater automation. Even so, our strong performance reflected the strength of our differentiated offerings, high-touch servicing, and the deep expertise of our talent pool. These factors continue to reinforce our standing as one of Indias leading institutional stockbroking platforms.

The year was characterised by heightened geopolitical tensions in West Asia, leading to volatility in crude oil prices, alongside evolving global trade dynamics, including tariff-related developments from the US. These factors led to periods of uncertainty and market volatility globally. Nonetheless, our performance continued to remain strong primarily achieved by our talent pool across teams, client servicing, customized and differentiated offerings to our clients, coupled with industry tailwinds. This also reaffirmed our position to be one of the leading stockbrokers in the country.

Indias structural growth trajectory continues to remain resilient, even as the global environment becomes more complex. In this backdrop, India has continued to stand out on a relative basis, supported by strong domestic demand, in-turn aided by policy measures such as income tax cuts, GST rationalisation and monetary easing. A key feature of the current cycle has been the growing dominance of DII flows, which have provided stability to equity markets amid volatile FII activity. Indian equity markets at this juncture are also backed by strong Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) flows, which remained at healthy levels. Total SIP contribution for FY 2025-26 was 3,49,589 crore compared to 2,89,352 crore in FY 2024-25, rising 21% YoY. This highlights the rising participation of retail investors in Indian equities, as financial saving transition from cupboards to banks, and now to equity instruments. Further, the increasing importance of DIIs (ultimately retail participation) in Indian equities was made clear in FY 2025-26, as they absorbed heavy FII selling. Through FY 2025-26, FIIs were net sellers in Indian equities to the tune of 1,95,554 crore. This was counterbalanced by DII buying of 8,50,365 crore.

The reduction in transaction charges and brokerage rates mandated by SEBI for brokers the rationalization of AMCs brokerage pay-outs is reshaping the sell-side broking industry.

These changes shall add pressure on the margins of the sell-side brokers.

Our Corporate Advisory and Capital Markets segment is subject to threats which include

macro-economic factors such as abnormal monsoon, geopolitical tensions, global economic threats impacting the business, economic situation, liquidity situation in the market, cost effective availability of funding and capital market environment; and business specific threats such as increased intensity of competition from players across the industry creating downward pressure on yields, fees, commissions and brokerages, regulatory challenges, technology innovations, amongst others.

Looking ahead, ARCs are well-positioned to leverage their expertise in resolution and restructuring to capitalize on acquisition opportunities, while simultaneously driving SR redemptions through effective recovery strategies.

Investments

Private Equity Funds

JM Financial India Fund II ( Fund II ) and JM Financial India Fund III ( Fund III ) are SEBI registered Alternative Investment Funds with an aggregate AUM of 1,017 crore.

Fund II and Fund III are an India-focused, sector-agnostic private equity fund, with the primary objective to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by investing growth capital in dynamic and fast-growing, small to mid-market Indian companies. We believe that the small to mid-market opportunity is relatively less crowded, allowing attractive investment opportunities in early-to-growth stage companies that are in their early phase of expansion. Key sectors of interest include financial services, consumer, manufacturing, technology and others (logistics, agri-allied sectors, etc.). Fund II has completed ten investments and is fully deployed. In addition, Fund II has completed one full exit and partial divestments from two of its portfolio companies, resulting in distributions to investors of approx. 67% of paid-in capital, at attractive rates of return. As of March 31, 2026, Fund III has completed ten investments and is now fully deployed. Fund III has also concluded an exit from one of its portfolio companies.

In addition to the two operating Funds, we also managed the JM Financial India Fund ( Fund I ), a 2006 vintage (i.e. Final Close) India focused private equity fund. Fund I raised 952 crore and has successfully exited from all of its portfolio companies and distributed / appropriated an aggregate of 203% in rupee terms (before income tax related retentions and reserves), of the capital contributions. Fund I has made an application with SEBI to surrender its VCF registration.

Additionally, we have a diversified portfolio of investments including equity investments (listed and unlisted), yield assets such as Real Estate Investment Trusts, G-Sec investments and liquid / overnight mutual funds.

Our Private Markets Segment is subject to threats which include:

Macro-economic factors such as geopolitical tensions, global economic threats impacting the business, economic situation, liquidity situation in the market, cost effective availability of funding and ability to exit some of the investments at the desired valuations;

Business specific threats such as increased intensity of competition from players across the industry creating downward pressure on yields, fees and commissions, regulatory challenges, technology innovations, and ability to raise new Alternative Investment Funds amongst others; and Regulatory changes and adverse sector changes including slowdown in the corporate sector, real estate sector, private equity and distressed credit.

Affordable Home Loans

The Housing Finance (HFC) sector continued to navigate a nuanced operating environment during the financial year 2025-26. While structural tailwinds including accelerating urbanisation, a favourable demographic dividend, and sustained government impetus towards housing for all remain firmly intact, near-term growth momentum has been tempered by supply-side constraints, particularly in the affordable housing segment. The overall growth trajectory of the HFC sector is assessed to be moderate, with differentiated performance across borrower segments and geographies.

The supply side of affordable housing remained constrained due to elevated land acquisition costs, rising construction expenses, prolonged project approval timelines, and relatively lower profitability for developers in this segment. These factors have led many developers to shift their focus toward mid-premium and premium housing projects, resulting in a gradual tilt away from affordable housing.

Despite these challenges, the demand outlook for affordable housing finance remains positive. India continues to witness strong demand for affordable housing, particularly from the Economically Weaker Sections ( EWS ) and Low-Income Group ( LIG ) segments. Lower credit costs, improved borrower awareness, increasing formalization of income, and continued migration toward urban and semi-urban centres are expected to support steady growth in the retail housing loan segment.

Urbanization in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities continues to reshape the housing market, with a significant share of future residential demand expected to emerge from these regions. Infrastructure development, improved employment opportunities, and enhanced connectivity are driving both housing demand and home loan penetration in these geographies.

The Union Budget 2025-26 reaffirmed the governments Viksit Bharat vision, positioning the housing sector as a primary engine for urban transformation and social equity. A cornerstone of this years fiscal roadmap is the operationalization of PMAY-U

2.0 (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban), which aims to address the housing needs of one crore additional families.

With a budgetary allocation of approximately 19,784 crore for the urban mission, the government has sharpened its focus on affordable and mid-income housing through a mix of interest subsidies and direct financial assistance.

A standout feature of the Union Budget 2025-26 was the official launch of SWAMIH Fund 2.0 with a fresh corpus of 15,000 crore. Building on the successful track record of the first phase which unlocked over 37,000 crore in capital and delivered more than 60,000 homes, the second iteration adopts a blended finance model. This phase seeks to involve participation from the government, PSU banks, and private investors to fast-track the completion of an additional 1 lakh stalled housing units across India.

The Union Budget 2025-26 also introduced the landmark Urban Challenge Fund (UCF) with a staggering total outlay of 1 lakh crore (allocated at 10,000 crore for the current fiscal). Unlike traditional urban schemes, the UCF is a performance-linked fund designed to incentivize cities to implement structural reforms. By supporting up to 25% of the project cost for bankable urban infrastructure, the fund mandates that the remaining 50% or more must be sourced through market-based instruments, including municipal bonds, bank loans, and PPPs.

Other Key Highlights and Regulatory Enhancements

Expansion of Interest Subsidies: The re-energized Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme ( CLSS ) under PMAY 2.0 now offers interest subsidies of 3% to 4% for the MIG (Middle Income Group) categories, significantly lowering the effective borrowing cost for first-time homebuyers.

Direct Tax Reforms: To boost secondary market demand and investment, the Budget increased the deduction limit on home loan interest for let-out properties under the new tax regime from 2 lakh to 3 lakh. Furthermore, the provision allowing homeowners to claim two self-occupied properties with nil annual value without conditions provides much-needed flexibility for the mobile workforce.

Infrastructure Synergy: The massive 11.2 lakh crore capital expenditure outlay (3.1% of GDP) for infrastructure, coupled with the development of City Economic Regions

(CERs) in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, is expected to unlock new geographical peripheries for residential development.

From a portfolio perspective, HFCs continue to maintain a dominant share of their loan books in the form of retail housing loans, reflecting the inherent stability and secured nature of the asset class. While yields may experience some pressure due to competitive intensity and product mix changes, asset quality across the sector remains broadly stable, supported by prudent underwriting practices and strong collateral coverage.

Overall, the HFC sector remains well-positioned for sustainable growth. While short-term challenges persist in the form of supply constraints, margin pressures, and product mix shifts, the long-term structural drivers such as urbanization, favorable demographics, policy support, and increasing formal housing demand-continue to provide strong growth momentum. The sector outlook for FY 2025-26 remains positive with a cautiously optimistic stance, particularly for institutions focused on affordable housing and granular retail lending. Our housing finance business commenced operations in 2017 in order to expand groups presence in retail mortgage space with a focus on affordable housing finance. JM Financial Home Loans Limited (the JMFHLL ), the Groups housing finance entity, offers the whole gamut of housing finance products including various kinds of home loans and loan against residential property. We chose to serve the growing needs of housing finance customers in the low- and middle-income segments of sub-urban and rural India, going contrary to the industrys preference to serve the customers in the metro cities and urban regions of the country. The majority of our customers have limited access to formal banking credit facilities. We work to bridge this gap by providing affordable and reliable credit to the doors to several Indians who are willing to have house of their own and have limited access to formal banking credit facilities. We are customer centric and are primarily focused on servicing our customers.

During the year, Bajaj Life Insurance Limited, formerly known as Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Limited ( Bajaj Life ) acquired ~ 2.1% of JMFHLL for 65.5 crore. The transaction with Bajaj Life has created a benchmark valuation of ~ 3,100 crore for the home loans business which has been built bottom up over the last 8 years.

In terms of operating performance as at March 31, 2026, the Asset Under Management stood at 3,460 crore as compared to 2,832 crore as at March 31, 2025. The Gross Non-Performing Assets ( GNPA ) was at 0.5% as of March 31, 2026.

The GNPA is below industry average GNPA despite focusing on the affordable housing segment, which reflects that the conservative credit underwriting approach as well as a robust risk framework. We expanded our branch network from 128 to 151 during FY 2025-26.

The product offering has evolved over a period of time based on our experiences across geographies and our close association with our customers:

Home Loans

We offer home loans for ready to move in homes, home construction, home improvement, home extension, plot plus construction, balance transfer and top up loans to customers across 151 branches in India with an average loan value of ~ 10 lakh. We offer home loan to customers in the affordable segment on a proactive basis.

Loans Against Property (LAP)

This product helps clients address funding requirements for both personal and business needs. Clients leverage the economic worth of their property without giving away ownership.

Our Affordable Home Loans segment is subject to threats which include:

macro-economic factors such as abnormal monsoon, geopolitical tensions, global economic threats impacting the business, economic situation, liquidity situation in the market, cost effective availability of funding; business specific threats such as increased intensity of competition from players across the industry creating downward pressure on yields, fees, amongst others; and

Regulatory changes and adverse sector changes including slowdown in the housing sector.

The increase in the profitability was driven by performance across operating segments primarily led by Private Markets segment for which profits grew during the year to 541.76 crore from 150.82 crore in the previous year. The profits of Private Markets segment increased primarily because of reversal of impairment provision on account of resolution of NPA assets during the year.

Other Income 169.49 75.21
TOTAL 4,260.59 4,452.83

Interest Income

Interest income from lending activities continued to be a major contributor to the gross revenue at 1,652.16 crore as against 1,928.29 crore during the previous year, constituting around 39% of the total revenue. Decrease in interest income is primarily on account of run-down of the loan book from a strategic perspective.

Fees and Commission Income

Fees and commission earned during the year stood at 1,117.04 crore as against 1,019.18 crore during the previous year, constituting 26% of the total revenue. The increase is primarily on account of increase in deal closures in investment banking and increase in fees under wealth & asset management and distressed credit business during the year.

Brokerage Income

Brokerage income earned during the year stood at 635.92 crore as against 578.15 crore during the previous year, constituting around 15% of the total revenue. The increase in brokerage income is on account of increase in average daily turnover during the year.

Net gain on fair value changes

Net gain on fair value changes stood at 570.73 crore as against 735.47 crore during the previous year, constituting around 13% of the total revenue. This primarily includes realised gains on de-recognition as well as mark-to-market changes on account of fair value of investments in equity shares, bonds, mutual funds, security receipts and financial assets under distressed credit business during the year. The decrease is primarily on account of decrease in overall liquidity held by the Group and lower fair value changes on investment in equity instruments because of escalated geopolitical tensions and market volatility.

Net gain on de-recognition of financial instruments carried at amortised cost

Net gain on de-recognition of financial assets carried at amortised cost were 73.72 crore as against 39.60 crore during the previous year. This is primarily due to gain on assignment of retail mortgage loans which were carried at amortised cost during the year.

Net (loss)/gain on de-recognition of financial instruments carried at fair value through OCI

Net (loss)/gain on de-recognition of financial assets carried at fair value through OCI were (6.37) crore as against 18.32 crore during the previous year. This is primarily due to reversal of gain because of foreclosure of certain portion of the MSME loan portfolio which were assigned on which gain was booked in the previous year.

Other operating income and other income comprising revenue from treasury operations and other activities were 217.39 crore as against 133.82 crore during the previous year, constituting around 5% of the total revenue. The increase is primarily on account of interest income of 112.80 crore received by the Company along with income tax refund during the year.

The following table describes consolidated expenditure during the year:

(Rs. in crore)

For the Year ended
Particulars March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025

TOTAL 2,658.87 3,455.98

Finance Cost

The decrease in finance cost from 1,304.93 crore in the previous year to 999.19 crore in the current year is on account of decrease in average borrowings corresponding to a decline in the loan book during the year.

Fees and commission expense

It comprises sub-brokerage, fees and commission relating to secondary market and distribution business. The increase in fees and commission expense from 343.08 crore in the previous year to 399.61 crore in the current year is primarily on account of corresponding increase in brokerage and fee income in the current year.

Impairment on Financial Instruments

Impairment on Financial Instruments stood at (237.17) crore as against 424.74 crore during the previous year. This is on account of provisioning based on expected credit loss model on the loans, investments, trade receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost or fair value through OCI. The reversal of provisions during the current year is because of resolution of significant portion of Stage-3 assets.

Employee Benefits Expense

The increase in employee cost by about 9.41% is mainly on account of increase in the head count in the current year as compared to previous year. The employee strength has increased from 4,680 as of March 31, 2025 to 5,250 as of March 31, 2026.

Depreciation and Amortisation Expenses

The increase in depreciation and amortisation expenses by about 22.85% is on account of fresh capital expenditure pursuant to increase in physical infrastructure during the year.

Other Expenses

It comprises administrative and establishment costs. These expenses increased by 2.47% is primarily attributable to increase in information technology expenses.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is a strategic priority for protecting the interests of all stakeholders, including our clients, shareholders, employees, vendors, regulators, lenders, the larger community, and our planet, whilst enabling sustainable growth of the business. Risk is an integral part of the business and almost every business decision requires the management to balance risk and reward. The ability to manage risks across geographies, products, asset classes, customer segments and functional departments is of paramount importance for the hindrance-free growth of every organisation.

Due to increasing globalisation, integration of world markets, newer and more complex products & transactions and an increasingly stringent regulatory framework, the financial services industry is subject to continuously evolving legislative and regulatory environment.

Presence of JM Financial Group in several businesses, asset classes and geographies, exposes it to various risks. The risk also emanates from various businesses of operating entities within the Group.

At JM Financial, a deeply ingrained risk culture and risk ownership across the organization forms the bedrock of risk management, continuously reinforced through a framework of well-defined policies, operational guidelines, and stringent control procedures. The risk is managed through the risk management framework approved by the Board of Directors, encompassing independent identification, measurement and management of risk across various businesses of the

Group. The Company has formulated comprehensive risk management policies and processes to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate the risks that are encountered during conduct of business activities, in an effective manner. Risk exposure is monitored and controlled through a variety of separate but complementary financial, credit, operational, IT, compliance and legal reporting systems. A team of experienced and competent professionals, at business level as well as group level, identify and monitor these risks on an on-going basis and evolve processes/ systems to monitor and control the same to keep the risks to minimum levels. Detailed regulatory as well as regular inspections also help test our processes and compliances.

The Risk Management and Environmental Social and Governance ( ESG ) Committee (the Committee ) of the Board was formulated in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The Committee has adopted the Risk Management Policy which ensures that risks are overseen and monitored at all the levels. The Committee oversees the risk management policy, ESG policy and business continuity plan including functions relating to cyber security, identify and assess the risks, decide the measures to mitigate the risks. The Audit Committee also plays vital role in risk management by providing independent oversight in the area of financial risks and internal controls.

The Board reviews the effectiveness of risk management systems in place and evaluates the efficacy of internal control systems to ensure that all material risks are identified, mitigated, and managed in accordance with the established risk appetite and all applicable regulatory compliance mandates. A risk event update report is periodically placed before the Committee which includes, inter alia, the risk identification and control, risk classification, assessment of impact, risk mitigation/ remedial action, risk status and stress testing analysis of various risks.

The Committee reviews these reports along with the course of action taken or to be taken to manage and mitigate the risks.

Additionally, the Group has engaged independent Internal Audit firms to conduct comprehensive review and formally report on the business processes and policies for all operating companies in the Group. The findings and recommendations of audit reports are reviewed and discussed by the Audit Committee of the Company and respective operating companies. Apart from the above, the Committee also overview the Business Continuity Plan of the Company.

Various risks associated with the businesses of JM Financial Group are mentioned in detail below:

We are in the business of lending against cash- flows, mortgages and securities backed loans. Any material unexpected credit losses or failure of the borrowers to repay debt on time, may have an adverse and negative effect on our business. Counterparty credit risk is identified with a detailed credit appraisal, considering industry characteristics and key success factors, business risks, financial health, management strength, collateral analysis, credit bureau scores, etc. Risk concentration is prevented using borrower/ group limits as well as limits on industries, sectors, etc.
Regular scenario analysis and stress testing is conducted to identify risks from evolving geo-political, macro-economic, and other risks.
A comprehensive review exercise is conducted periodically as a part of credit risk mitigation to identify early-warning signals and take corrective actions.
Effective credit risk management has enabled us to steer through the current geo-political and other stress conditions without any major impact.
Market Risk Market risk is the risk arising from the adverse movements in market price of various securities, which may impact value of portfolio of investment in securities. The risk may pertain to interest bearing securities (interest rate risk), equities (equity price risk) and foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk).

The risk framework ensures that the risks are monitored and necessary timely action is taken for every single instance of breach, in case they occur.
As a part of its operations, the Group makes Investments in securities and other financial instruments from time to time. Our portfolios and collaterals/ securities are continuously monitored. Regular stress testing is also conducted to access the impact of market fluctuations.
We are exposed to potential changes in the value of financial instruments held by us caused by above factors.
Key Risk Description / Impact of Risk Risk Mitigation
Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk arising due to unavailability of adequate funds at appropriate prices or tenure or asset liability mismatches. It also refers to the risk that arises from the difficulty of selling an asset without a high impact cost. We maintain sufficient liquidity cushion to meet our borrowing obligation and borrower side funding requirement. We have a strong financial position and all our businesses are adequately capitalized, have good credit rating and appropriate credit lines available to address liquidity risks. We also maintain a part of our capital in liquid assets to manage any sudden liquidity needs. Additionally, the asset liability mismatch and collateral margins are regularly assessed.
Our liquidity is mainly dependent upon our timely access to, and costs associated with raising funds. Any lack of liquidity in the market could adversely affect our ability to access funds at competitive rates. Liquidity requirements are closely monitored and necessary care is taken to maintain sufficient liquidity cushion for maturing liabilities and for any unforeseen requirements.
Our clients may, due to certain circumstances not honour their commitments which would indirectly lead to our inability to meet the obligations. We also ensure diversification in source of borrowing to reduce dependence on a single source.

We have a team of experienced professionals which takes care of compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidelines affecting our businesses. We also take external advice and appoint well qualified professionals in respective functions in various offices.
It could also arise on account of inadequate addressal of regulatory requirements or differences in interpretation of regulations vis-- vis the regulators. All the new guidelines, circulars, notifications are complied with. Formulation of the policies as well as its implementation is taken due care of.

Key Risk Description / Impact of Risk Risk Mitigation
Competition Risk The industry in which the Company operates is growing at a rapid pace and is exposed to tremendous competition at the national as well as international level. Strong growth prospects combined with liberalization of financial services sector have prompted the entry of newer foreign and domestic financial services companies.

Fair and transparent practices help the entity gain competitive advantage over other entities.
We operate in a highly competitive market and face significant competition from other players in the financial services industry and from companies seeking to attract our customers\u2019 financial assets. Entry of new players has increased the competition faced by us. It may also lead to attrition of our key personnel. Our human resource policies and a healthy positive work environment help us attract and retain best talent on a continuous basis.

Adherence to these processes is ensured through frequent internal audits. The internal control system is supplemented by an extensive program of internal audit and reviews by the team of senior management. We have appointed independent internal audit firms for the Company and all our operating subsidiary companies to assess and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, operations and processes.

Internal audit

Internal Auditors follow Standards on Internal Audit along with guidelines issued by regulators from time to time.
