Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said,

 “The global economic environment is experiencing uncertainties due to geopolitics, monetary policy tightening and inflation. The NBFC and banking sector have demonstrated resilience on the back of healthy capitalization and good credit offtake.

 We reported robust earnings basis given that last financial year had witnessed strong performance in the IPO issuance and IPO financing related businesses compared to this financial year.

 The Investment bank segment demonstrated strong performance despite volatile equity market conditions on the back of our strong integrated franchise. The pipeline of investment banking transactions remains robust. The loan book for the mortgage lending (retail and wholesale) segment has demonstrated strong growth. We are on track to achieve the loan book guidance provided for the retail and wholesale mortgage lending businesses. During the quarter the distressed credit business acquired retail assets and continues to focus on acquisition and resolution of distressed assets. Investments in physical and digital infrastructure continue in the platform AWS business.

 Considering global macro conditions, high interest rates, inflation and geopolitical conditions, the equity markets are expected to remain volatile in the first half of this calendar year”.

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said,

“Amid the unrelenting elevated inflation and volatile global environment, the domestic economy has demonstrated relative resilience. Equity capital markets have been volatile due to geopolitical developments and increase in rates. On the other hand, credit growth has witnessed an upward trajectory.   

Last financial year we had strong earnings from IPO financing activity which has substantially reduced this financial year due to regulatory changes both at RBI and SEBI. 

In line with our earlier guidance, we gained strong momentum this quarter in our lending verticals and grew the loan book to Rs.14,670 crore. The increase in loan book will reflect in the earnings in the balance part of this year and the next financial year. Our retail mortgage investments continue with the expansion of JM Financial Home Loans to 75 branches and the business is expected to grow at a faster pace. 

Despite challenging equity markets, we reported strong earnings in the Investment Bank segment on the back of our strong fixed income franchise. 

Our alternative and distressed credit business had reported record profitability last year on the back of strong resolutions. We are selectively adding assets and continue to prioritize focus on resolution of existing assets. 

We continue our strategic investments in the Platform AWS segment through additional hires, digital marketing and building digital friendly and physical infrastructure. 

Being an integrated and well capitalized financial services player, we are in a position of strength to leverage growth opportunities.”

JM Financial Mutual Fund launches NFO JM Midcap Fund

NFO opens on October 31, 2022 and closes on November 14, 2022

The key differentiators of JM Midcap Fund are:

  • Growth Focus: Aims to invest in high growth companies benefiting from demographic and structural trends.
  • Strong Processes: Process driven stock selection and portfolio construction along with well-defined guardrails for risk management & proprietary GeeQ model.
  • Analysis Beyond Just Numbers: Focus on softer aspects like corporate governance, management quality and their execution along with experienced hands from the market who have managed investments in multiple market cycles.

Mumbai, October 31, 2022: JM Financial Mutual Fund (JMFMF) has announced the launch of JM Midcap Fund, an open-ended equity scheme predominantly investing in mid cap stocks. The NFO will open for subscription on October 31, 2022 and closes on November 14, 2022. 

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Satish Ramanathan, CIO – Equity, JM Financial Asset Management Ltd.  said, “India with approximate $2k per capita income may see sustainable growth in the consumption story and related sectors. We have seen this trend in both China and South Korea which have demonstrated rapid growth for a decade after crossing the per capita income of $2k.

Indian Midcaps offer a wider variety of sector allocation in a more balanced manner compared to Nifty. Nifty’s concentration around 2-3 sectors makes it less diversified compared to the Midcap Index.

New economy and higher growth sectors like QSR, pathological labs, AMCs and industrials are fairly represented in Midcap Index compared to Nifty. Valuation wise, midcaps currently offer a very good opportunity for investors to build a long-term portfolio.

Considering the global factors and the need to address the volatility, this Midcap offering will have an i-STeP option to invest during the NFO period in which the investors have the option to stagger their investment.”

Speaking on the launch of the product, Mr. Amitabh Mohanty, MD & CEO, JM Financial Asset Management Ltd. said, “JM Midcap Fund is an important addition to our bouquet of funds and we believe the fund is expected to take advantage of the India story over the next few decades. I am sure our strong equity team led by Mr. Satish Ramanathan will strive to deliver on a risk adjusted returns basis going forward.”

JM Financial Mutual Fund is sponsored by JM Financial Limited. JM Financial Asset Management Limited, the Asset Management Company for the schemes of JM Financial Mutual Fund, started operations in December 1994.

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said,

“The world economy has been impacted by the war in Ukraine, higher-than-expected inflation, tighter financial conditions and strict zero Covid policies in China.

The capital markets continue to remain volatile and primary equity issuances have reduced substantially as compared to last year. We expect September quarter to continue to remain challenging for primary market issuances. Our pipeline of Investment Banking mandates continues to remain healthy and we are confident to execute a substantial volume of transactions in the next available window of opportunity.

During the quarter, we received higher than anticipated levels of pre-payments across the lending book. The transaction flow for wholesale mortgage and bespoke financing transactions is strong and we are on track to achieve the guidance provided in May 2022 in our annual earnings call. The branch network of JM Financial Home Loans has expanded to 64 as of June 30, 2022 compared to 55 as of March 31, 2022. The increased infrastructure would further enhance the reach and accelerate the disbursements.

Looking ahead, we shall continue to leverage our strengths as an integrated and well capitalized financial services player.”

JM Financial Private Equity leads INR 375 mn Series B round investment in Emiza Supply Chain Services Pvt. Ltd.

Mumbai, May 26, 2022: JM Financial Private Equity (the “Fund”) has led the INR 375 mn, Series B funding round in a Mumbai-based warehousing and fulfilment services provider, Emiza Supply Chain Services Pvt. Ltd. (“Emiza” or the “Company”), to fund the Company’s current expansion plans. Mayfield India – an existing investor in Emiza – has also participated in the Series B fund raise. Proceeds from the investment will support augmentation of the existing technology infrastructure, foray into last-mile operations, and expansion of the Company’s operations into other geographies.

Emiza caters to the warehousing and fulfilment needs of direct-to-consumer (“D2C”) brands as well as SMEs and large corporates selling online. Through its network of warehouses in eight cities across India, the Company provides services including storage, picking, packing, and labeling. The Company has over 100 customers which include leading D2C brands as well as large enterprises and SMEs across Beauty and Personal Care, Fashion and Accessories, Home and Kitchen, and Food and Beverages. The Company was founded by Ajay Rao who has deep domain expertise in logistics through decades of experience across India and the US. He is supported by a management team led by Jitendra Kumar and Arvind Shivkumar, both having extensive logistics experience.

Commenting on the investment, Mr. Darius Pandole, Managing Director & CEO, PE & Equity AIFs, JM Financial said, “India’s e-commerce market has witnessed a massive surge in terms of demand and purchase over the last few years across metros and Tier II & III cities, driven by the growing internet penetration and smartphone usage, and change in the buying behavior of consumers. To drive business and leverage the emerging growth opportunities, D2C brands and other companies selling online need to provide superior customer experience. That’s where Emiza comes in. We believe the fundamental shift in consumers’ purchasing behaviour, and their penchant for D2C and online retail is here to stay. With a strong emphasis on enhancing customer experience, increasing efficiency and reducing cost, Emiza has developed a strong value proposition. We believe that Emiza will eventually emerge as a leading player in the fulfilment services segment.”

Commenting on the capital raise, Mr. Ajay Rao, CEO, Emiza said, “Our company has scaled up rapidly over the last three years, and we envisage even faster growth over the next few years. This growth capital infusion and partnership with a seasoned investor like JM Financial Private Equity will help us accelerate our current expansion plans and add other service lines to the business, including a last-mile platform to offer a complete suite of services to our customers. The founders and senior management have a deep understanding of the logistics industry, and given our strong customer-centric approach, we are confident of creating a leader in the e-com fulfilment service industry in India.” 

Commenting on their follow-on investment, Mr. Vikram Godse, Managing Partner, Mayfield India said, “We are happy to continue to support Ajay and his whole team at Emiza in their journey to become the leader in the D2C e-commerce fulfillment market. We believe the company has a strong value proposition which allows both its small and large D2C brand customers to focus on product development and market growth while Emiza completely takes over the function of order fulfillment.”

This is the tenth investment from the Fund II, and is in line with its stated strategy of investing in growth –oriented companies in the mid-market space.

    The residential sales across all geographies and ticket sizes have been robust. Rapid consolidation in the sector continues whereby the amount of sales done by top developers as a percentage of overall sales is increasing gradually. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches. In Mumbai Metropolitan region, we anticipate a lot of new launches on the back of the premiums paid for development of properties. This is expected to increase the demand for construction finance.  

    We had adopted a cautious approach due to the challenges faced since the COVID-19 pandemic. We maintained strong liquidity buffers to mitigate any unforeseen challenges.

Beyond Next Ventures, one of the earlier investors in BigHaat also participated in the fund raise.   Proceeds from the investment will support augmentation of the existing technology infrastructure and accelerate expansion of the Company’s operations.

The Company’s pan-India presence has enabled over 700,000 farmers to regularly engage on its platform on a monthly basis. The Company has been catering to the input needs of farmers in over 13,000 unique pincodes of the country. BigHaat was founded by first generation entrepreneurs – Sateesh Nukala, Sachin Nandwana and Kiran Vunnam, who have combined their strong technology background and their deep roots in agriculture, to bring about a fundamental shift in the life and earnings of the farmers of the country.

Commenting on the investment, Mr. Darius Pandole, Managing Director & CEO, PE & Equity AIFs, JM Financial said, “We are extremely bullish on the fundamental shift that we are witnessing in the Indian agriculture sector driven by the increased internet and smartphone usage in rural India. It’s the start of a decade long story and will eventually go on to digitize the oldest, biggest and employment-wise the most important sector of the Indian economy. With its strong emphasis on technology and direct connect with the farmers, BigHaat has developed a unique model of aspiring to  work alongside the farmers to not only help increasing yields and limiting losses, but also to fetch the best price for their end-produce. We believe that BigHaat could eventually emerge amongst the most trusted brand in the farmer community.”

Commenting on the capital raise, Mr. Sateesh Nukala, Managing Director, BigHaat said, “This growth capital infusion and partnership with a seasoned investor like JM Financial Private Equity will help us accelerate our current expansion plans and expand our reach across the Indian hinterlands. Because of their strong agrarian background, the founders deeply understand the challenges and the needs of the Indian farmer and this has led BigHaat to adopt a distinctive approach of directly reaching out and establishing a long term connect with the Indian farmer as a trusted advisor. We are committed to deepening this relationship with each passing year and to create the first profitable, end-to-end agri-tech platform in the country”

    The last quarter has seen a rapid recovery across all geographies after the second Covid wave. The residential sales across all geographies and across all ticket sizes have been robust. However, consumer confidence in the developer and project is of paramount importance.

    We are also witnessing rapid consolidation in the sector whereby the amount of sales done by top developers as a percentage of overall sales is increasing gradually and significantly. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches.

    All the above have been in line with our expectations and we feel that this end user driven sales is here to stay. We are cautiously evaluating opportunities across geographies and will look at gradually increasing the lending book. However, the uncertainty of the third wave continues to keep us cautious in underwriting loans.

Segment reclassification: Until financial year 2020-21, our reportable business segments were (i) Investment banking, wealth management and securities business (IWS) (ii) Mortgage Lending (iii) Distressed credit and (iv) Asset Management.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the underlying businesses of the reportable segments have been reclassified. The purpose of the said reclassification of business segments is primarily to create a client-aligned business structure to enable deeper focus, faster growth and a seamless execution of the organization’s digital strategy. Accordingly, our reclassified business segments are as follows:

  1. Investment Bank (IB) shall cater to Institutional, Corporate, Government and Ultra High Networth clients and includes investment banking, institutional equities and research, private equity funds, fixed income, syndication and finance;
  2. Mortgage Lending includes both wholesale mortgage lending and retail mortgage lending (home loans, education institutions lending and LAP);
  3. Alternative and Distressed Credit includes the asset reconstruction business and alternative credit funds; and
  4. Asset management, Wealth management and Securities business (Platform AWS) shall provide an integrated investment platform to individual clients and includes wealth management business, broking, PMS and mutual fund business

 

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said,

 

“We have reported our highest ever quarterly operating net profit. Our diversified business model has demonstrated time and again resilience through economic and market volatility. This new realignment of business segments will facilitate seamless execution of our strategy. Over the last few years, the integration amongst the various sub businesses in IWS has worked extremely well. We believe that the new realignment will scale our businesses from the current levels and also ensure focus on new initiatives.

 

The Investment Bank has demonstrated strong performance and the pipeline is robust. The Alternative and Distressed credit business witnessed significant recovery during the quarter and contributed to the overall profitability of the Group. The disbursements in the Wholesale Mortgage Lending business will pick up post travel and other restrictions are eased. The infrastructure network of Retail Mortgage Lending is being built out rapidly. Platform AWS businesses have been integrated to focus on individual customer segments’ investment and savings needs. The Platform AWS business will be actively investing in various digital initiatives to enable rapid growth and top quality customer experience.

Overall, our strong balance sheet, well capitalised and diverse set of businesses and strategic client-focused approach positions us to perform well and drive sustainable value for our stakeholders as we are hopeful about economic revival in the year ahead.”

    • Mortgage Lending

      The total mortgage lending book (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 7,614 Cr as at June 30, 2021.

       

      Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR. Further details in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

  • SMA 2 numbers increased from 3.50% as of March 2021 of the portfolio to 5.99% as of June 2021 of the portfolio. During this period, the loan book has decreased from Rs. 7,219 Cr as of March 2021 to Rs. 7,166 Cr as of June 2021.
  • Debt to equity stood at 1.30x and net debt to equity at 0.86x.

    The last quarter has been impacted due to lockdowns faced in different geographies in different measures. Though the collections seen from projects in the quarter were still heathy, the footfalls in the projects saw a sharp decline and hence impacted the fresh sales in most projects. Having said that the general sentiment towards residential real estate remains positive and we are witnessing increased demand across ticket sizes. We are also witnessing rapid consolidation in the sector whereby the amount of sales done by top developers as a percentage of overall sales is increasing gradually and significantly. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches.

    All the above have been in line with our expectations and we feel that this end user driven sales is here to stay. We are cautiously evaluating opportunities across geographies and will look at gradually increasing the lending book. However, the fear of the third wave continues to keep us cautious in underwriting loans.

     

    • Alternative and Distressed Credit

      Higher focus on recoveries yielded results and recoveries during quarter were about ~Rs. 1,071 Cr and Security Receipts of ~Rs. 226 Cr were redeemed.

JM Financial Private Equity invests INR 350 mn in Walko Food Company Pvt. Ltd.

Mumbai, June 09, 2021: JM Financial Private Equity (the “Fund”) has finalized an investment of INR 350 mn in a Pune based consumer packaged food company, Walko Food Company Private Limited (“Walko” or the “Company”), to fund the Company’s current expansion plans. Proceeds from the investment will support brand building activities and augmentation of the existing capacities of the Company. This marks the closing of the eighth investment by JM Financial India Fund II.

Walko Food Company owns a fast growing natural ice cream brand “NIC”. The Company operates a manufacturing plant in Pune and retails in over 50 cities across India, via multiple sales channels like food delivery platforms, Modern Trade, Parlors, and HORECA. In a short span of time, NIC has emerged as one of the leading national brand in the natural ice cream category and is the highest selling ice cream brand on FoodTech platforms. In addition to NIC, the Company has recently launched desi kulfi brand “GRAMEEN”. The ice cream flavours range from fruit, dry fruit variants’ to international tastes like sea salted caramel, Madagascar chocolate, French Vanilla and the ones inspired by Indian Mithais like GulabJamun, Sheer Khurma, Til Gud, Gajar Halwa to name a few. The Company is founded by Mr. Jeetendra Bhandari, a first generation entrepreneur who brings decades of professional experience in USA with leading MNCs like Coca-Cola and Walmart.

Commenting on the investment, Mr. Darius Pandole, Managing Director & CEO, PE & Equity AIFs, JM Financial said, “The domestic ice cream market is large and growing and we believe that there is a long runway of growth banking on low per capita ice cream consumption, foodtech platforms and development of multiple distribution channels and formats. Within the broader ice cream market, NIC has established a good product market fit with its differentiated, high quality natural ice cream and direct to consumer strategy. All these factors have led to a strong brand recall for NIC and a healthy customer repeat ratio. NIC is well-placed to address the changing customer preferences for relatively healthier, preservative free snacking options. The fund infusion will help the company scale-up its business and expand its market share.”

Commenting on the capital raise, Mr. Jeetendra Bhandari (JB), Managing Director, Walko said, “This growth capital infusion and partnership with a seasoned investor like JM Financial Private Equity will help us accelerate our current expansion plans and

expand market share. NIC has emerged as a fast growing natural ice cream brand in the country during FY20-21 and is rapidly scaling up.  Walko is focused on building brands which deliver on quality, innovation and superior customer experience. Walko plans to deploy funds to increase geographic penetration, open Flagship parlors (Experience Centers), manufacturing capacity expansion and marketing. Ice cream per capita consumption in India is very low when compared to G-20 economies and as such it provides long term secular growth opportunity. We see excellent growth potential for NIC and GRAMEEN in the coming years.”

This is the eighth investment from the Fund II, and is in line with its stated strategy of investing in growth companies in the mid-market space.

Advisors on the deal included Dexter Capital Advisors (Investment Bankers), Think Law (legal advisor to JM Financial India Fund II) and Patanjali Associates (legal advisor to Walko Food Company).

Walko Food owns and retails a fast growing direct to consumer natural ice cream brand “NIC”. Walko also owns brands like Cream Pot (premium frozen desserts) and Café Chocolade (chocolate shake parlors). More information about NIC can be found at: http://nicicecreams.com/

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said, 

“FY20-21 has been one of the most challenging years amidst the uncertainties on account of COVID-19. In spite of the economic volatility during the year, the capital markets remained strong on the back of strong liquidity.

 We are pleased to report that we have concluded the financial year on a positive note, banking on our diversified and resilient business model with strong performance across our business segments. 

Our investment banking, wealth and securities businesses have done exceedingly well and our pipeline for these businesses is extremely healthy. Despite the challenges from COVID-19, we had strong recoveries in our distressed credit business in FY2020-21. Our retail mortgage business has gained momentum and its further build will be a key focus area. The lending book continues to remain robust and asset quality is in check. Our balance sheet is extremely strong with Net Debt to Equity at 0.73x. 

We continue to closely monitor the external environment given the uncertainties due to the second wave of the pandemic. Looking ahead, we are well positioned to grow and further scale our businesses in this financial year.”

The AUA of our Independent Financial Distribution (IFD) business stood at Rs. 16,171 Cr as on March 31, 2021 as compared to Rs. 13,437 Cr as on March 31, 2020 and Rs. 15,731 Cr as on December 31, 2020.

    During the quarter, the average daily trading volume stood at Rs. 14,248 Cr. 

    During the quarter, we also funded 17 public issues (including 1 NCD issue) aggregating to a funding of ~Rs. 38,641 Cr. 

    • Mortgage Lending

      The total mortgage lending book (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 7,650 Cr as at March 31, 2021. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR. 

      The highlights of the quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

  • SMA2 numbers decreased from 8.04% as of December 2020 of the portfolio to 3.50% as of March 2021 of the portfolio. During this period, the loan book has increased from Rs. 6,993 Cr as of December 2020 to Rs. 7,219 Cr as of March 2021.
  • Debt to equity stood at 1.51x and net debt to equity at 0.90x.

     

    The last quarter has seen a significant increase in sales velocity across all geographies we are present in. Efforts made by some state governments along with measures by the central government have helped developers in many ways. The reduction in stamp duty, coupled with the correction in prices along with the general view that prices have bottomed out has helped increase the demand for residential real estate. We have seen some movement in credit to the sector. We have also seen rapid consolidation and believe that going forward the industry will have very few players and the market share of the larger developers will continue to increase. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches.

     

    All the above have been in line with our expectations and we feel that this end user driven sales is here to stay. We are cautiously evaluating opportunities across geographies and will look at gradually increasing the lending book. However, the impact of the second wave of COVID 19 which we have been currently experiencing is yet to be seen. 

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited invested Rs. 50 Cr in JM Financial Home Loans Limited for 8.99% stake. The infusion is at Rs. 33.74/- per equity share at a pre-money equity valuation of JM Financial Home Loans Limited of Rs. 510 Cr. Further, JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited shall have a right but not an obligation to invest an additional amount of ~Rs.440 Cr at the same price per share of Rs.33.74/- on or prior to June 30, 2021 or such timeline as may be mutually extended, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals as may be required. If JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited decides to make further investment of Rs. 440 Cr as above, upon receipt of all the approvals as are required, it would hold 49% equity stake in JM Financial Home Loans Limited post the allotment of the said shares. 

    • Distressed Credit

Higher focus on recoveries yielded results and recoveries during quarter were about ~Rs. 240 Cr and Security Receipts of ~Rs. 141 Cr were redeemed. We also acquired loans of two companies during the quarter. The outstanding Security Receipts stood at Rs. 11,060 Cr as on March 31, 2021 as compared to Rs. 10,915 Cr as on December 31, 2020. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited towards the Security Receipts stood at Rs. 3,193 Cr as on March 31, 2021 as compared to Rs. 2,923 Cr as on December 31, 2020. Until March 31, 2021, we have acquired total outstanding dues of Rs. 61,666 Cr at a gross consideration of Rs. 17,427 Cr. In spite of the pandemic we achieved good results with total recovery of ~Rs 1,192 Cr in FY 21 through the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, SARFAESI and settlement. Going forward, our focus would remain on recoveries and resolution while we continue to work with financial and strategic investors for acquisition.

Beginning this quarter we have restarted evaluating few accounts for acquisition purposes. We closed one large acquisition and acquired a significant majority of the debt of the Company. We will continue to aggregate the balance debt in the coming quarters. Going forward we would continue to evaluate the right acquisition opportunities and gradually grow our book.

  • Asset Management

BRFL Textiles completes INR 2.4 Bn equity investment from marquee private equity investors

Mumbai, February 11th, 2021 — BRFL Textiles Private Limited (BTPL), housing the largest single-roof fabric processing unit in India, has completed an INR 2.4 Bn equity infusion from a consortium of marquee financial investors led by JM Financial India Fund II (an Indian growth private equity fund), Think Investments (a San Francisco-based investment firm), and others. 

BTPL was recently formed as a separate entity in August 2020 as part of a restructuring process undertaken by Bombay Rayon Fashions Limited, in which it hived-off its Yarn Dyeing & Fabric Processing units located in Tarapur, into BTPL by way of a slump sale on a going concern basis. The Company’s brands, including Bombay Rayon, BRFL, Linen Vogue, Giza Classe, Dickens & Browne and others, are also a part of this transaction. 

BTPL has a strong presence in the B2B and B2C space alongwith long-standing relations with leading brands across the globe, and sells through large garmenters in India who also sell to domestic brands. On the domestic branded sales front, the distribution network of BTPL is spread across its own EBOs, over 100 distributors and over 8000 retailers. 

The equity capital will be utilized primarily to fund the business’ growth and for initial capex to bring the plant upto speed. The new entity, committed to ‘Make in India’, will also look to export its products and to take advantage of the “China plus One” strategy, prompting global firms to diversify their sourcing away from China to India. The strengths of the Indian Textile & Apparels Industry lies in availability of raw material (especially cotton), cost competitiveness and presence of the entire value chain, while its weakness lies in limited availability of organized quality fabric processors of scale. 

Speaking on the fundraise, Mr. Prashant Agarwal, Managing Director at BTPL, said “Over the years, the fabrics from our Tarapur plant have earned the trust of our customers for their superior quality and design innovation & uniqueness. We are confident that now with a fully funded operation with almost no debt, the Tarapur unit housed in BTPL is poised to grow into one of the leading fabric processing houses in India. We shall aim to set new benchmarks in servicing our customers with timely deliveries of new age fabrics and by supplying innovative designs. BTPL is augmenting its talent pool by hiring senior professionals and spending on maintenance capex to ensure full utilisation of its 400,000 meters per day capacity. We shall further invest in technology to ensure increased efficiency of our state-of-the-art machineries at our plant that adheres to all regulatory and business compliances.” 

Commenting on the investment, Mr. Darius Pandole, Managing Director & CEO, PE & Equity AIFs at JM Financial Limited, said, “We believe BTPL has a huge growth potential and the fund infusion will help the company scale-up its business. Increased consumption of branded apparels will drive growth for organized fabric manufacturers, both in domestic and export markets, which can deliver large volumes with consistent quality and within agreed timelines. With its in-house design, R&D and sampling, the company offers differentiated, and superior quality products, in a timely manner, to its customer base. We believe that BTPL will benefit from the ‘Make in India’ push in our country. This is the sixth investment from our Fund II, and is in line with its stated strategy of investing in growth companies in the mid-market space.”

BTPL is engaged in processing a wide range of fabrics at its plant located at Tarapur in Maharastra, India.

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said,

 

“The economy has rebounded quite strongly from the pandemic as compared to the first two quarters of this financial year. The economy is showing strong signs of recovery, albeit some part of the recovery can be attributed to pent-up demand. It will be very interesting to watch this trend of recovery in the current and next few quarters.

 

In our IWS businesses, we have a very strong pipeline of investment banking transactions. We are witnessing strong traction in the institutional and non-institutional equities businesses. The equity AUA for our private wealth management business has seen robust growth. The elite wealth management and the institutional fixed income businesses are scaling up. The internal synergies amongst the various businesses are yielding strong results. We believe the IWS business is well positioned to capitalize on the multi-decade opportunity in financial markets.

 

On our mortgage lending business, the sales data for the real estate sector over the last few months has been extremely encouraging and we expect our escrow cash flows to remain strong. We believe that the asset quality impact on our loan book is transient in nature and we have not provided one-time restructuring benefit to any borrower in our wholesale mortgage segment. We believe that we have peaked out in terms of the provisions made on our existing loan book. Our wholesale mortgage loans are fully secured with robust security covers. Our loss given defaults are likely to remain low. Our teams have started evaluating fresh proposals as we look to build a pipeline for gradually increasing the long term loan book.

 

On the back of recovery of economy post COVID-19 and opening up of NCLTs, our distressed credit business also witnessed few resolutions, adding to the overall profitability of the Group for the quarter.

 

We have emerged stronger from COVID-19 as is reflected in our strong balance sheet with adequate provisions, almost all time low leverage levels and extremely strong liquidity buffers. We believe our diversified businesses are well positioned to benefit from the post COVID-19 recovery. The key domestic events to watch out include the pace of vaccination and the Union Budget 2021.”

Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR.

       

      The highlights of the quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

  • SMA2 numbers increased from 3.42% as of September 2020 of the portfolio to 8.04% as of December 2020 of the portfolio, During this period the loan book has declined from Rs. 7,208 Cr in September 2020 to Rs. 6,993 Cr as of December 2020
  • Debt to equity stood at 1.26x and net debt to equity at 0.92x.

                                                       

    We continue to be in a challenging environment accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdown that has been initiated since mid-March 2020. However various efforts have been made by the central and some of the state governments to encourage the demand in the residential sector. This had led to an increase in sales across geographies since August 2020 onwards. The last quarter has only seen the sales numbers strengthen and we have seen significant momentum in sales and collections during this period. Most of this demand is has come in from end users and we see the momentum continuing in the near future. This quarter also witnessed good sales in the luxury space which also signals towards the positive sentiments of buyers towards real estate purchase decisions. Given this scenario we expect a turnaround in the sector and will also witness fresh money by way of debt and equity coming into the sector in the next few quarters.

     

    The consolidation process in the sector is playing out rapidly and we continue to witness large players gaining more market share. The markets seem to have played out positively in the last six months in line with our expectations and we are keeping ourselves prepared to make the most of the turn in the cycle which we are witnessing right now.

     

     

    • Distressed Credit

 

Until December 31, 2020, we have acquired total outstanding dues of Rs. 60,590 Cr at a gross consideration of Rs. 17,130 Cr. Security Receipts worth ~Rs. 559 Cr were redeemed during the quarter.

During the quarter, we closed 2 deals as a part of debt aggregation of one large account. Higher focus on recoveries yielded results and recoveries during quarter were much higher at ~Rs. 751 Cr as against ~Rs. 120 Cr in previous quarter. Higher recoveries were affected by implementation of approved resolution plans by NCLT, successful sale of assets under SARFAESI and settlements.

    During the quarter, we also funded 7 public issues (including 1 FPO issue) wherein the aggregate amount of funding was around Rs. 21,469 Cr.

    ​

  • Mortgage Lending

    The total mortgage lending book- (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 7,526 Cr as at September 30, 2020. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR.

    - 

    The highlights of the quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

    • SMA2 numbers increased from 1.82% of the portfolio to 3.42% of the portfolio.
    • Debt to equity stood at 1.29x and net debt to equity at 1.02x. 

    We continue to be in a challenging environment accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdown that has been initiated since mid-March 2020. However various efforts have been made by the central and some of the state governments to encourage the demand in the residential sector. This coupled with very low interest rates on home loans has ensured that the sales numbers in various geographies in the months of August and September 2020 have been very encouraging. We believe that if the numbers continue to be at these levels the sector can witness a turnaround in the beginning of the next calendar year. Having said that, sales are still happening mainly in the low and middle segment and high end inventory continues to be under pressure.

     

    Most geographies are inching towards normalcy as far as the movement of labour is concerned. We continue to believe that completed projects will sell faster as there will still be end user demand looking for value deals. We are also seeing movement in acquisitions of new land parcels/ projects as demand starts getting established and land prices begin to look more attractive.

     

    The credit availability in the sector continues to be a challenge, however various banks are looking at different products to fund completed inventory at attractive rates to help developers bridge the timing mismatch. The consolidation process in the sector is underway and we are witnessing large players gaining more market share. We are in a very defining period for the sector and believe that the next six months will be very crucial to set the tone for the sector in the coming years.

  • Distressed Credit 

        Until September 30, 2020, we have acquired total outstanding dues of Rs. 60,401 Crat a gross consideration of Rs. 17,079 Cr. Security Receipts worth ~Rs. 22 Cr were redeemed during the quarter.

The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs.3,244 Cr as on September 30, 2020 as compared to Rs. 2,982 Cr as on June 30, 2020. Even in this quarter, the focus was on recoveries however the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow over the recoveries. NCLTs have gradually started hearing matters however due to the current situation the resolution is taking more time than usual. Recoveries from SARFAESI have started to pick up in September and we expect more recoveries in the coming quarters. During the quarter, resolution plans for 3 companies were approved by NCLT and we expect approval of few more companies in the coming quarters.

JM Financial Private Equity completes INR 400 million investment in Isthara Parks

Mumbai, June 24, 2020: JM Financial Private Equity (the “Fund”) has announced that it has completed its proposed investment of INR 400 mn in Coimbatore based co-living operator, Isthara Parks Private Limited (“Isthara” or the “Company”). The investment was completed in two tranches between July 2019 and June 2020.

Commenting on the investment Mr. Darius Pandole, Managing Director & CEO, PE & Equity AIFs said, “We did extensive research on the co-living sector and identified Isthara as a potential leader in the space. The Isthara management brings to the table deep domain knowledge in hospitality, IT & real estate and proven execution capability. The Fund focuses on backing strong entrepreneurs with disruptive ideas combined with on-ground operational excellence.”

Having expanded at a rapid pace since the first tranche investment, the Company met the targets laid out for additional funding ahead of anticipated timelines. The second tranche infusion in Isthara will be utilized by the Company to add another 4,000-5,000 beds under executive housing in addition to around 5,000 beds under student housing by the end of the current financial year.

In less than a year, Isthara has expanded operations additionally to NCR and Coimbatore and more than doubled in size, with close to 6,000 operational beds, and strengthened its management team and technology backbone. In the process, the Company became the first co-living operator in India to manage an on-campus student housing facility, with ~700 beds under management in Coimbatore.

 

The Fund identified Isthara as a promising early-stage investment opportunity in the nascent but fast-growing organized co-living sector in early 2019 and decided to invest in Isthara to support its expansion plans in existing and new markets.

    During the quarter, the average daily trading volume stood at Rs. 11,175 Cr.

  • Mortgage Lending

Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR.

    *excluding episodic financing book

    The highlights of the quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

  • Our SMA2 numbers decreased from 2.10% of the portfolio to 1.82% of the portfolio.
  • Our debt equity stood at 1.43x and net debt equity at 1.18x.

     

    We continue to be in a challenging environment accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdown that has been initiated since mid-March 2020. We believe the residential sales will continue to be under pressure due to uncertainty among prospective buyers about the economy and the path to recovery. Commercial real estate and retail sectors will also be impacted due to the lockdown. Most geographies have witnessed commencement of construction activities albeit at a slow pace. After the easing of the lockdown we had witnessed increase in footfalls to sites by prospective buyers. However repeated lockdowns in some geographies has slowed down that process again significantly. The sites continue to struggle with limited availability of labour and lack of movement of material.

    We continue to believe that completed projects will sell faster as there will still be end user demand looking for value deals. New launches and acquisitions will be deferred thus reducing the gap between the supply and demand situations. There have been some positive actions by the RBI and RERA to provide some relief to the struggling sector.

    Having said that, these conditions will continue to affect the liquidity in the sector as credit availability will be limited. The current scenario will expedite the consolidation in the sector which would lead to larger players acquiring more market share. We will witness reduction of interest rates for home loans which coupled with attractive prices might lead to end user demand coming back to the residential space. However, the next six to twelve months continue to be uncertain in light of the current lockdown situation and uncertainty about the COVID-19 crisis.

    We would remain cautious in our underwriting of new transactions and would continue to support our existing clients to complete their respective ongoing projects.

  • Distressed Credit

Until June 30, 2020, we have acquired total outstanding dues of Rs. 60,363 Cr at a gross consideration of Rs. 17,069 Cr. Security Receipts worth ~Rs. 48 Cr were redeemed during the quarter. The outstanding Security Receipts stood at Rs. 11,441 Cr as on June 30, 2020 as compared to Rs. 11,489 Cr as on March 31, 2020. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs. 2,982 Cr as on June 30, 2020 as compared to Rs. 3,012 Cr as on March 31, 2020. This quarter, the focus was on recoveries however the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow over the recoveries. The lock down has also impacted the NCLT processes and consequently our recoveries have been delayed further. The delays in recoveries have increased the carrying costs of the assets under resolution and thereby impacting the returns from these assets.

  • Asset Management

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 stood at Rs. 4,049 Cr; comprising of Rs. 964 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 3,085 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme). The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 stood at Rs. 6,109 Cr; comprising of Rs. 3,285 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 2,824 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme).

The situation has further worsened on account of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns across the country. We have made gross provisions of Rs.175 crore on our balance sheet on account of the uncertainties around the impact of COVID-19.

We have been able to demonstrate resilience by keeping strong liquidity buffers and healthy leverage ratios. The cash and cash equivalent as on March 31, 2020 stood at Rs. 3,412 Crore and our net debt-equity ratio stands at 1.04x which is amongst the lowest in financial services space.

We continue to closely monitor the external environment and will remain prudent in our business planning over the next few quarters as the impact of the pandemic is uncertain. We are focused on building strong resilience so that we can keep moving, ahead of the downturn.

During these unprecedented crisis, JM Financial Group has committed Rs. 30 Crore towards COVID-19 relief measures. The group stands together with the country to combat this crisis and with a collaborative approach, we will be able to overcome the pandemic.”

  • Mortgage Lending

    The total mortgage lending book (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 7,651 Cr as March 31, 2020. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR. After investing in the right talent, technology and processes, our retail mortgage lending business is all set to build its niche and achieve scale. During the quarter, our retail mortgage lending announced the co-lending arrangement with Bank of Baroda to further boost the momentum.

    The highlights of the last quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

    • Our debt equity stood at 1.47x and net debt equity at 1.19x.

       

      We continue to be in a challenging environment accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdown that has been initiated since mid-March 2020. We believe the residential sales will continue to be under pressure due to uncertainty among prospective buyers about the economy and the path to recovery. Commercial real estate and retail sectors will also been impacted due to the lockdown. Post the lockdown is lifted the sector will have to deal with issues of limited labour, low demand and lack of credit availability. We continue to believe that completed projects will sell faster as there will still be end user demand looking for value deals. New launches and acquisitions will be deferred thus reducing the gap between the supply and demand situations. There have been some positive actions by the RBI and RERA to provide some relief to the struggling sector. 

      Having said that, these conditions will continue to affect the liquidity in the sector as credit availability will be limited. The current scenario will expedite the consolidation in the sector which would lead to larger players acquiring more market share.  We will witness reduction of interest rates for home loans which coupled with attractive prices might lead to end user demand coming back to the residential space. However, the next six to twelve months continue to be uncertain in light of the current lockdown situation and uncertainty about the COVID-19 crisis. 

      We would remain cautious in our underwriting of new transactions and would continue to support our existing clients to provide financial closures for ongoing projects. 

       

  • Distressed Credit

During the quarter, we concluded 1 transaction by way of resolution plan being implemented in NCLT. Till March 31, 2020, we have acquired total outstanding dues of Rs. 60,363 Cr at a gross consideration of Rs. 17,069 Cr. Resolution strategies were initiated for majority of the assets acquired. Security Receipts worth ~Rs. 124 Cr were redeemed during the quarter. The outstanding Security Receipts stood at Rs. 11,489 Cr as on March 31, 2020 as compared to Rs. 11,413 Cr as on December 31, 2019. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs. 3,012 Cr as on March 31, 2020 and Rs. 2,946 Cr as on December 31, 2019.

This year the focus was more on resolution and few critical accounts were resolved through settlement and Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) however during the last quarter of FY 20, the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow over the recoveries. The lock down has also impacted the NCLT processes and consequently our recoveries have been delayed further. The delays in recoveries have increased the carrying costs of the assets under resolution and thereby impacting the returns from these assets.

In addition, the lockdown has led to weaker global demand, supply chain disruptions, lower commodity prices, reduced discretionary spends, factory shutdowns and travel restrictions. The impact of the virus on the global sentiment, economic and otherwise has been immense. While COVID-19 may not have a direct impact, the evolving global and domestic economic slowdown will impact demand and realisations. The cash flows of our business depends on the cash flows of companies which we have lent to and hence these could be impacted basis the sector exposure.

“Over the last fifteen months the external environment has been challenging. We have been able to demonstrate strong resilience from these challenges riding on our strong liquidity buffers, prudent leverage ratios as well as diversified businesses.                      

 

In the context of the overall challenging environment, we had a very good quarter led by our IWS businesses. We have significantly de-grown our wholesale book. Our retail mortgage presence has increased to 27 branches and we continue to grow that business.  The distressed credit team is focused on recoveries.  

 

We are hopeful that the measures announced by the government will lead to a faster recovery for the economy.”

Business Update

 

  • Investment banking, Wealth Management and Securities business (IWS)

     

    The IWS segment gained traction during the quarter. Our recruitment in this segment gained momentum especially in the wealth management business. The pipeline for our investment banking transactions continues to remain healthy.

     

    During the quarter, some of our completed investment banking transactions were as follows:

    • Exclusive Financial Advisor to Hotel Leela Venture Limited for sale of four owned Leela Hotels located at Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Udaipur, property owned at Agra and all management contracts to Brookfield Asset Management.
    • Book Running Lead Manager (BRLM) to the Initial Public Offer of Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Limited (~Rs. 1,000 Cr) and Prince Pipes and Fittings Limited (~Rs. 656 Cr).
    • BRLM to the Qualified Institutions Placement of Bajaj Finance Limited (~Rs. 8,500 Cr) and Shree Cement Limited (~Rs. 2,400 Cr).
    • Manager to the buyback of equity shares of NIIT Limited (~Rs. 335 Cr) and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (~Rs. 1,960 Cr).

       

      The AUM/AUA of our wealth management business stood at Rs. 46,886 Cr (excluding custody assets) as on December 31, 2019 as compared to Rs. 42,738 Cr as on December 31, 2018 and Rs. 46,818 Cr as on September 30, 2019.

      During the quarter, the average daily trading volume stood at Rs. 13,676 Cr.

       

      During the quarter, in IPO financing business, we funded 8 public issues (including 4 NCD issues) wherein the aggregate amount of funding was around Rs. 14,647 Cr.

                                                        

  • Mortgage Lending

    The total mortgage lending book (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 8,008 Cr as on December 31, 2019. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR. After investing in the right talent, technology and processes, our retail mortgage lending business is all set to build its niche and achieve scale. We are optimistic about the tremendous opportunities prevailing in the segment and the co-lending arrangement with Bank of Baroda will further boost the momentum.

     

    The highlights of the last quarter in respect of the wholesale mortgage lending are as under:

    • We have managed to reduce our SMA2 numbers from 1.94% of the portfolio to 0.73% of the portfolio. This has mainly been a result of timely asset sales. We continue our involvement with our borrowers to identify early signs of stress and find solutions. 
    • As guided earlier, our debt equity and net debt equity stands at 1.78 times and 1.36 times respectively.

       

      We continue to be in a challenging environment as far as the real estate sector is concerned. There have been positive actions by the government by way of the distressed fund which is committed to providing last mile funding to the real estate sector. We have also seen interest from foreign funds in the sector as can be witnessed by the transactions that have taken place in the sector. 

       

      Having said that, the liquidity crunch continues to affect the sector negatively. Lack of availability of credit for new projects or for refinancing the existing projects have created tremendous stress and pressure on the cash flows. Some of the erstwhile large HFCs continue to grow the mortgage lending business very slowly causing further slowdown in collections. 

       

      We are now seeing significant opportunities for deployment but continue to remain extremely selective and cautious about lending going forward.

       

  • Distressed Credit

 

We chose not to participate in any fresh acquisitions during the quarter. The complete focus of the business was on recoveries and resolutions. The recoveries during the quarter stood at Rs. 2,897 Cr. We continue to experience resolution delays in few of our key accounts and face delays in accounts which are under the NCLT process.

 

The outstanding Security Receipts (SRs) stood at Rs. 11,413 Cr as on December 31, 2019 as compared to Rs. 14,037 Cr as on September 30, 2019. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs. 2,946 Cr as on December 31, 2019 and Rs. 3,107 Cr as on September 30, 2019.

  • Asset Management

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 stood at Rs. 5,683 Cr; comprising of Rs. 4,143 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 1,540 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme). The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 stood at Rs. 6,488 Cr; comprising of Rs. 4,509 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 1,979 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme).

 

Borrowing Profile

 

Our long term borrowing as a proportion of total borrowing stood at approximately 84% as on December 31, 2019.

JM Financial Services unveils “Investories –Anecdotes from the Financial World” packed with timeless investment advice

Mumbai, November 22, 2019: JM Financial Services Ltd. the dedicated brokerage services arm of JM Financial Group, today unveiled its latest offering, titled “Investories-Anecdotes from the Financial World”

The book was launched with great fanfare in Mumbai by Mr. Ashishkumar Chauhan, CEO-Bombay Stock Exchange at Title Waves on Nov 22, 2019.

“Investories” is a collection of bite-sized learnings in understanding the capital markets especially as investors are being increasingly exposed to multiple avenues for investments as well as multiple intermediaries, platforms and regulations.

In its constant endeavour towards investor education, JM Financial Services has lent paper to the thoughts and words of Mr. Amit Trivedi the author of Investories.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Subodh Shinkar, Managing Director & CEO, JM Financial Services said, “We had been considering a book that would be an assortment of timeless principles that just doesn’t bury the reader under charts, stats or graphs, but talks about the subject in an engaging and simplistic manner. We couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator than Mr. Amit Trivedi. His thoughts and approach resonated with the firm’s philosophy of investor education awareness and transparency.”

Mr. Amit Trivedi said, "I have been interacting with a number of investors and investment advisors across the country for quite some time now. I have realized that investors have many questions and doubts when it comes to investing. So, there was a need to put things in perspective and bring out various lessons that would help them make smart investment decisions. It was no surprise that the views of JM Financial Services were also quite similar. As a result, we decided to collaborate on this project. I believe that such initiatives by large firms like JM Financial Services go a long way in empowering the investors, by spreading the right message."

Mr. Trivedi is a highly acclaimed author and financial products and sales trainer. He has conducted several distributor training workshops and investor education seminars. He has painstakingly researched every story and brought them to life with his simple and lucid words.

The book reveals the common mistakes that many investors make, the pitfalls and traps to avoid and the modus operandi that goes into selecting the right investment vehicle. With real life anecdotes, Mr. Trivedi prepares the reader for the reality of the world of investing whether they are beginners or veterans of the markets.

The book will be available in all major bookstores and can also be ordered online on Amazon.

Business Update

 

  • Investment banking, Wealth Management and Securities business (IWS)

     

    The IWS segment gained traction during the quarter. Our recruitment in this segment gained momentum especially in the wealth management business. The pipeline for our investment banking transactions continues to remain healthy. The loan book in this segment remained steady during the quarter.

     

    During the quarter, some of our completed investment banking transactions were as follows:

    • Global Coordinator and Book Running Lead Manager to the Initial Public Offer of Spandana Sphoorty Financial Limited (~Rs. 1,200 Cr) and Qualified Institutions Placement of Yes Bank Limited (~Rs. 1,930 Cr).
    • Manager to the buy back of equity shares of Wipro Limited (~Rs. 10,500 Cr).
    • Manager and Selling Broker to the Offer for Sale of equity shares of Reliance Nippon Life Asset Management Company Limited (~Rs. 1,011 Cr).
    • Lead Manager to the public issue of Non-Convertible Debentures of Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited (~Rs. 340 Cr) and JM Financial Products Limited (~Rs. 128 Cr).
    • Exclusive Financial Advisor to Sona BLW Precision Forgings and JM Financial Private Equity on controlling stake sale to Blackstone.

      The AUM/AUA of our wealth management business stood at Rs. 46,818 Cr (excluding custody assets) as on September 30, 2019 as compared to Rs. 43,941 Cr as on September 30, 2018 and Rs. 43,038 Cr as on June 30, 2019.

      During the quarter, the average daily trading volume stood at Rs. 10,748 Cr.

       

      During the quarter, in IPO financing business, we funded 3 public issues (including 1 NCD issue) wherein the aggregate amount of funding was around Rs. 3,370 Cr.

                                                        

  • Mortgage Lending

    The total mortgage lending book (comprising of loan book of JM Financial Credit Solutions Limited and JM Financial Home Loans Limited) stood at Rs. 8,302 Cr as on September 30, 2019. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR.  We are at the initial stages of our retail mortgage lending and are currently focused on acquiring the right talent, employing technology and processes before we ramp up our presence in terms of products and geography.

     

    The real estate sector is majorly affected due to the liquidity crunch being faced by the sector. This has been due to various factors starting from the introduction of RERA to demonization to GST. The final blow came in the form of the liquidity issues being faced by NBFCs and HFCs. This has also impacted the pace of the ongoing projects as most NBFCs have slowed down disbursements to committed sanctions and almost stopped any new sanctions. Moreover, some of the HFCs have also slowed down home loan disbursements leading to difficulties in new sales and collections. There is also a major crisis of confidence with regards to the end user towards under construction projects. However, a silver lining is that affordable and low to mid segments in select geographies are still performing well and sales continue to be healthy.

     

    We have always guided that there will be a rapid consolidation in the real estate space and believe that the market share of the larger developers will increase substantially. With almost negligible amount of price appreciation in residential real estate over the last 6-7 years, investors are completely out of the market. The margins of developers have reduced and they are forced to look at business differently. We also believe that the liquidity crunch in the sector will continue for another one year and the developers with lower leverage and ability to sell will be the ones who will be better placed to tide through this time.

     

    In the backdrop of the above mentioned scenario the impact on our portfolio can be summarised as under:

    • Since majority of the portfolio is cashflow backed even since September 2018, we have continued to witness healthy weekly collections in our escrow accounts. This demonstrates that sales and collections are still happening at the right price point at good locations and in projects being developed by reputed builders. However, in few of the cases the pace of collections has gone down substantially. In these cases we have actively been involved with the developers and will use in-house expertise to push sales.
    • Low concentration risk and geographic diversification has enabled us not to be impacted significantly due to slowdown in a particular market or a particular developer. We have always focused on keeping the average exposure to each project below Rs. 100 Cr and have avoided concentration to any one geography. 23% of the portfolio are loans given against ready inventory which witnesses robust sales and collection.
    • Smaller developers are finding it difficult to record good sales when the project is under construction. In such cases we are working proactively to get in another reputed developer to buy the project or enter into Joint Developer Agreements or Development Management Agreements to ensure timely execution and sales of the project.
    • In some cases due to the various reasons mentioned above additional construction funding is required for the projects to take them to completion. We are strategically focusing on ensuring that all our projects have full financial closure to ensure we get the project to Occupation Certificate stage. In most cases we have witnessed very rapid and robust sales once OC is received.

       

      We have carried out stress tests under multiple scenarios on our loan book and have realized that though developers might face liquidity mismatch, the portfolio has healthy security / cashflow covers to enable us to recover our entire loan.

       

      We will carry out these stress tests at regular intervals to reassess the situation, especially as there is some probability that current situation could worsen before it gets better.

       

       

  • Distressed Credit

 

We chose not to participate in any fresh acquisitions during the quarter. The complete focus of the business was on recoveries and resolutions. The recoveries during the quarter stood at Rs. 483 Cr. We have also been experiencing resolution delays in some of our key accounts further impacting our focus to look at fresh acquisitions. Further, the global investors in distressed assets have virtually stopped their fresh investments pending clarity and final judgement on certain cases.

 

 The outstanding Security Receipts (SRs) stood at Rs. 14,037 Cr as on September 30, 2019 as compared to Rs. 14,191 Cr as on June 30, 2019. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs. 3,107 Cr as on September 30, 2019 and Rs. 3,140 Cr as on June 30, 2019.

  • Asset Management

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 stood at Rs. 6,488 Cr; comprising of Rs. 4,509 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 1,979 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme). The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 stood at Rs. 7,710 Cr; comprising of Rs. 4,642 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 3,068 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme).

 

Borrowing Profile

 

We continued our efforts of diversifying our sources and maturities for our borrowing profile. Our long term borrowing as a proportion of total borrowing stood at approximately 82% as on September 30, 2019.

 

Awards & Recognitions

      Our loan book in the IWS segment stood at Rs. 5,320* Cr as on June 30, 2019.

       

      *Does not include IPO Financing book

       

  • Mortgage Lending

    The total mortgage lending book stood at Rs. 8,455 Cr as on June 30, 2019. Our wholesale mortgage lending focuses on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and NCR.  We are at the initial stages of our retail mortgage lending and are currently focused on acquiring the right talent, employing technology and processes before we ramp up our presence in terms of products and geography.

     

    The real estate sector is currently majorly affected due to liquidity crunch being faced by the sector. This has been due to various factors starting from the introduction of RERA to demonization to GST. The final blow came in the form of the recent liquidity issues being faced by NBFCs and HFCs. This has also impacted the pace of the ongoing projects as most NBFCs have slowed down disbursements to committed sanctions and almost stopped any new sanctions. Moreover, some of the HFCs have also slowed down home loan disbursements leading to difficulties in new sales and collections. However, sales continue to be healthy in the affordable and mid segments, completed inventory and in projects being developed by reputed developers.

     

    In the backdrop of the above mentioned scenario our portfolio has largely been unaffected due to the below mentioned reasons:

    • Majority of the portfolio is cashflow backed. Even since September 2018, we have not been witnessing a slowdown in the weekly collections in our escrow accounts. This demonstrates that sales and collections are still happening at the right price point at good locations and in projects being developed by reputed builders. 
    • Low concentration risk and geographic diversification – We have always focused on keeping the average exposure to each group below INR 100 crs and have avoided concentration to any one geography.
    • 22% of the portfolio are loans given against ready inventory which witnesses robust sales and collection.

       

      We have carried out stress tests under multiple scenarios on our loan book and have realized that though developers might face liquidity mismatch, the portfolio has healthy security / cashflow covers to enable us to recover our entire loan even if the situation were to worsen.
       

  • Distressed Credit

 

During the quarter, Banks/NBFCs announced various NPA portfolio auctions. We closed 2 deals during the quarter for one of our accounts as part of debt aggregation. During the quarter, the focus of Asset Reconstruction business was primarily on recoveries and resolution and we saw recoveries from various accounts. 

The outstanding Security Receipts (SRs) stood at Rs. 14,191 Cr as on June 30, 2019 as compared to Rs. 14,044 Cr as on March 31, 2019. The contribution of JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited stood at Rs. ­­­­­3,140 Cr as on June 30, 2019 and Rs. 2,939 Cr as on March 31, 2019.

  • Asset Management

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 stood at Rs. 7,710 Cr; comprising of Rs. 4,642 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs. 3,068 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme). The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 stood at Rs. 8,712 Cr; comprising of Rs. 5,659 Cr in equity schemes (including hybrid schemes) and Rs.3,053 Cr in debt schemes (including liquid scheme).

 

Borrowing Profile

 

We continued our efforts of diversifying our sources and maturities for our borrowing profile. During the quarter, we raised Rs.387 Cr in the public issue of secured Non-Convertible Debentures in JM Financial Products Limited. Our long term borrowing as a proportion of total borrowing stood at approximately 72%* as on June 30, 2019.

A major attraction was the participation of youngsters who registered through the social media. It included a minimum charity contribution of Rs. 500, 100 % of which was donated to the charity of choice of the person registered. JM Financial Foundation did not take any fee towards organizing the event.

The funds raised from the Walkathon are disbursed towards strengthening and uplifting the lesser privileged communities. Some of the key focus areas include Education, Healthcare, Skill Development, Disaster Relief and Animal Welfare.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group said, “A single step has the power to bring a positive change in the lives of many people. Several steps taken together can manifold this impact and create a long-standing difference in the lives of the underprivileged throughout the year.”

We continue to monitor the liquidity scenario and will remain prudent in our business planning over the next few quarters. At the same time we are hopeful about gradual improvement in credit spreads towards AA rated NBFCs and general liquidity position of NBFCs over calendar year 2019.”

JM Financial’s consolidated revenue is up by 16.9% and consolidated net profit is up by 12.6% for Q1 FY19 as per Ind AS

Mumbai, July 18, 2018: The Board of Directors of JM Financial Limited, at its meeting held today, approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

From the current quarter, the unaudited financial results have been reported under Ind AS. The key implications of migration to Ind AS on our financial statements are as follows:

 

  1. Accounting: The key accounting implications on our financial statements are as under:
    1. Expected Credit Loss (ECL): Under the ECL model, the loan loss provision is made on the basis of the loan book’s historical loss experience and future expected credit loss depending on the credit quality assessment. ECL adjustment has had a negative impact on our networth and on this quarter’s profits.
    2. Amortization of fee income and cost under effective interest rate (EIR): Fees generated on loans originated and the corresponding costs including processing fees incurred on borrowings have been amortized over the life of the loan / period of service. This has resulted in temporary deferral of revenue and cost recognition. This has resulted in a negative impact on our networth and a marginal negative impact on our profits for this quarter.
    3. Fair value implications on financial assets (FVTPL): On the date of transition, all financial assets have been recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. The impact of fair valuation of financial assets, post initial recording in the balance sheet has been accounted through the statement of profit and loss. FVTPL has had a positive impact on our networth.
    4. Consolidation of trusts in the Distressed Credit Business: The trusts where we have a controlling interest have been consolidated after fair valuing the assets held by each of those trusts. This has had a positive impact on our networth.

       

  2. Segment reclassification: In the past, we have reported our key segments as (i) Investment banking and securities business (ii) fund based activities (iii) alternative asset management and (iv) asset management.

As per Ind AS, considering that the views of the management have precedence over the erstwhile risks and rewards model, segments have been reported based on management’s evaluation of financial information for allocating resources and assessing performance. Accordingly, we have reclassified our key business segments as follows:

  1. Investment Banking, Wealth Management and Securities Business which inter-alia includes fees as well as fund based businesses related to this segment
  2. Mortgage Lending which comprises of wholesale mortgage lending (real estate developers) and retail mortgage lending (home loans, loan against property and education institution loans)
  3. Distressed Credit which comprises of asset reconstruction business
  4. Asset Management which comprises of mutual fund business

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said, 

“Long term potential of the Indian economy remains bright on the back of reforms like GST, RERA and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy code. Economic growth is going through an aberration caused by temporary disruptions in implementation of the GST, which we believe will get corrected.

Our fund-based businesses performed steadily during the quarter and continue to be key contributors to our profits. Our ARC business remains focussed on resolution of the existing assets and we remain selective on acquiring new assets.
Capital markets continue to remain buoyant with a consistent rise in the number of companies looking to raise capital.”

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group, said, “Concerns about growth in China emerged as the dominant factor contributing to the volatility in the global markets. It appears that global risk will continue to pressurize the foreign inflows in medium term. The operating performance of Indian Corporates has also been under pressure on account of global commodity meltdown, currency fluctuations and high indebtedness of large corporates. Moreover the slippages of standard advances to NPA by the banks are also a worrying factor.

Despite the above, India continues to remain a bright spot among the emerging markets driven by expected increase in private consumer demand and foreseeable traction in the investment climate as the government is committed to revive the same. We are confident that key economic reform proposals like the GST and the much perceived upcoming ‘growth budget’ will set the tone for further strengthening the economic growth and create a positive investment climate. The Reserve Bank of India’s decision to keep the policy rates unchanged in its monetary policy announced yesterday is in line under the prevailing uncertainties.

The group’s fund based and asset management businesses have continued to demonstrate steady growth this quarter. We remain focused on the asset quality of our lending portfolio which is reflected in the lower NPAs at 0.21%.

We are committed to our businesses, risk management systems and core values. We are confident that our strategies will help us to offer a broad gamut of solutions to our clients and stay competitive in tough times.”

The Investment Banking business continues to grow with a robust deal pipeline and several mandated transactions under execution. Our approach is relationship driven and to add value to our clients with right advice.

Our Institutional Equities business saw increased client interaction and steady growth momentum during the quarter. New institutional clients continue to get added to our universe of clients across geographies, in line with our strategy of increasing the breadth and reach of our product.

During the quarter, the Institutional Equities business hosted its annual flagship investor conference in November 2015 in Mumbai. The conference was extremely well received with over 75 leading corporates and keynote speakers and about 300 institutional investors both foreign & domestic participating in the same.

Our Institutional Equities business also continued to strengthen its international presence with the opening of our office in United States (US). The US office, along with the already established Singapore and Mauritius offices will enable the business to further deepen our relationships with marquee global funds and establish new client relationships.

Our Institutional Equities business also continues to expand on its research product with wide coverage and technology enhancements across functions.

Investment Advisory and Distribution business offers wealth management, equity brokerage and Independent Financial Distribution services.

Wealth management business offers advisory services to High Net-worth Individuals, Ultra High Net-worth Individuals & Corporates. Our Wealth Management plans are tailored on the foundation of deep understanding of asset allocations, financial products and succession planning. Open product architecture through combination of in-house offerings and third party products have enabled JM Financial to emerge as an unbiased “Trusted Advisor” to its clients. We follow a hub and spoke model where the smaller cities are covered by the team sitting out of the major cities.

The AUM of our wealth management business stood at over Rs. 23,386 crore as on December 31, 2015. We have presence in 7 major cities in India (Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Pune) with team of more than 50 experienced wealth advisors catering to Ultra High Net worth families, High Net Worth families and corporate treasuries. Our focus is on growing discretionary assets. We have plans to increase the employee strength by recruiting additional 50 wealth advisors in near future.

We have presence in 261 locations spread across 112 cities through a network of branches and franchisees.

During the quarter, we helped corporates mobilise more than Rs. 800 Crore in fixed deposit schemes and fixed income products.

Fund based business:

The overall lending book stood at Rs. 6,550 crore as on December 31, 2015 as against Rs.6,118 crore as on September 30, 2015. Out of the said lending book, the real estate lending book stood at Rs.4,314 crore with the non-real estate lending book at Rs.2,236 crore as on December 31, 2015.The treasury book as on December 31, 2015 for the fixed income securities stood at Rs. 249 crore. We continued our efforts of diversifying our sources and maturities for our borrowing profile. Our long term borrowing as a proportion of total borrowing stood at approximately 30 % on December 31, 2015. Our commercial real estate funding focus is on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. We plan to selectively enter into new geographies to expand our business.

In light of the prevailing stress in the economy, we have been extremely selective and remained focus on the asset quality.

During the quarter, the asset reconstruction business actively participated in several auction processes and also pursued single credit accounts with banks. We managed to close four deals - two as part of debt aggregation and two fresh acquisitions. With high level of NPAs and restructured assets in the banking system and a greater thrust by the Reserve Bank of India for controlling the NPAs, the market will continue to present plenty of opportunities and we are well positioned to capitalize on the same.

Our focus continues to be on restructuring and resolution of our acquired portfolios. As part of this strategy, we successfully closed the sale of one large property of Hotel Leelaventure Ltd. and are in the process of restructuring this account. The sale got concluded at Rs.725 crore. Consequently, investments made by us in the security receipts have been liquidated upon redemption of SR’s resulting in a healthy yield and incentive fees. On conclusion of this transaction, adequate liquidity has been created thereby paving the way for fresh acquisition in stressed assets.

We are the second largest capitalized Distressed Asset Management Companies in India having consistent performance and leadership position in the industry, with a market share of approximately 18%. Given the March 2017 deadline by the Reserve Bank of India to the banks to clean up their balance sheets, we are very well positioned to have larger pie in acquiring the stressed assets and can commit capital to meet the requirements.

Alternative Asset Management:

At the end of the quarter, the combined AUM/AUA of our private equity and real estate funds stood at around Rs.875 crore.

JM Financial India Fund (the Fund), our private equity fund continues to work closely with its portfolio companies to seek exit opportunities.

As on December 31, 2015, the domestic scheme of the Real Estate Fund returned an aggregate 54% of the capital contribution received by it and the offshore scheme returned 49% of its capital contribution both in Indian Rupee terms.

Asset Management:

We offer a bouquet of 17 mutual fund schemes across the risk-return spectrum that caters to the specifics of both institutional and non-institutional investors. Our risk and fund management framework allows us to effectively manage both risk and investments while generating high quartile returns across the product categories that we offer.

Although, we saw a lot of FII selling due to uncertainty in emerging and global markets, the domestic institutions continued to buy Indian equities. Our equity schemes have performed well despite the volatile market conditions.

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 stood at Rs. 15,868 crore. Out of this AUM, the AUM in the equity schemes was at Rs. 5,106 crore, under the Arbitrage scheme at Rs 5,321 crore and the AUM of the debt schemes stood at Rs. 5,441 crore.

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group, said,

“In a move that came as a surprise to the market, the bold 50 basis point repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India will reinvigorate the investment sentiment and will boost growth in the upcoming quarters.

The financial performance for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2015 was on expected lines. The group’s fund based business and asset management business have done well. While the securities business performed well, the volatility in the markets has hampered the timeliness of deal closures. We shall continue to navigate challenges, and deliver on our commitments to our clients, shareholders and communities and as always, we operate with our strong and time tested values.”

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group, said,

“In the context of the long term sustained growth objective of the government, the focus on infrastructure and rural sectors in the budget was a step in the right direction. The decision of rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India in its bi-monthly monetary policy was also a welcome step to incentivise the economy.

India is projected to become the world's fastest growing economy by 2017 and is expected to sustain such growth over foreseeable timeframe.. Therefore despite the uncertainty in emerging and global markets, Indian markets will still offer tremendous wealth creation opportunities for the Investors.

We delivered sound results this year as well. Looking at the performance for the full year, the fund based businesses and asset management business have done reasonably well.  It reflects our ongoing strategy to build platforms for growth while continuing focus on maintaining leadership in the advisory business. We also remain focused on maintaining prudent risk profile and building on our core values.

As we enter into the next financial year, while our priorities remain the same with an addition of focus to leverage on evolving opportunities in technology backed platforms that can be complimentary to our businesses.”

Our Institutional Equities business continued to focus on strengthening our client relationships across geographies and adding new clients. Our international offices in New York, Singapore and Mauritius have clearly helped deepen our relationships with marquee global funds. 

During the quarter, the Institutional Equities business hosted its 6th annual investor conference in New York in March 2016.  The conference was extremely well received with strong participation from both leading corporates and large institutional investors. 

The business also continues to expand and deepen its research product across a wide spectrum of sectors and companies and latest technology enhancements across functions. 

Investment Advisory and Distribution business offers wealth management, equity brokerage and Independent Financial Distribution services.

Wealth management business offers wealth management services to High Net worth, Ultra High Net worth & Corporate clients and follows model of asset allocation and custody services. Open product architecture through combination of in-house offerings and third party products positioned JM Financial as “Unbiased trusted advisor” to the clients. We follow a hub and spoke model where the smaller cities are covered by the team based in our offices in 7 major cities.

The AUM of our wealth management business stood at over Rs. 26,958 crore as on March 31, 2016. We have presence in 7 major cities in India (Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Pune) with team of more than 50 experienced wealth advisors catering to Ultra High Net worth families, High Net Worth families and corporate treasuries.

During the quarter, we helped corporates mobilise more than Rs. 930 Crore in fixed deposit schemes and fixed income products.

Mutual fund mobilization was to the tune of Rs.30,846 crore and IPO distribution was to the tune of Rs.2,922 crore during the quarter.

Fund based business:

The overall lending book stood at Rs. 7,214 crore as on March 31, 2016 as against Rs.5,388 crore as on March 31, 2015. Out of the total lending book, the real estate lending was Rs.5,629 crore whereas the non-real estate lending was Rs.1,586 crore.

Our commercial real estate funding focus is on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. We plan to selectively enter into new geographies to expand our business. The Budget proposal to extend the recovery powers to NBFC’s under the SARFESI Act will help our risk mitigation and recovery processes.

During the quarter, the asset reconstruction business actively participated in several NPA auction processes and also initiated discussions with banks for acquiring non-performing assets. This was a good quarter in terms of acquisition. We closed nineteen deals – nine fresh acquisitions and ten deals as part of debt aggregation. Focused efforts were made towards resolution of our acquired portfolio and majority of the recovery came from restructured accounts.

Recognising the role of Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) in dealing with high level of stress in the Indian banking system, the Budget also addressed a long standing demand from the ARCs to enable sponsors to hold up to 100% stake in an ARC. In addition, the Budget has also allowed 100% FDI in ARCs through automatic route. These provisions will open up avenues for ARCs and facilitate them to strengthen the capital base and effectively participate in the huge NPA market in India. Allowing non-institutional investors to invest in SRs and removing the 74% investment cap in each scheme of SRs for FPIs will lead to increase in the depth of Security Receipts market. The budget also provides clarity on taxation in the hands of Trusts set up by ARCs and confers a pass-through status to the Trusts. Passing of the Bankruptcy Law is another positive development towards NPA resolution.

With persistent high level of NPAs, improving economic scenario and increasing recognition for the role of ARCs, the outlook for the business looks promising. We will continue to focus on acquisition of accounts with revival potential and restructuring & resolution of our acquired portfolio.

Alternative Asset Management:

At the end of the quarter, the combined AUM/AUA of our private equity and real estate funds stood at around Rs. 770 crore.

Both the private equity fund and real estate fund continue to work closely with its portfolio companies to seek exit opportunities.

The Private Equity Fund returned an aggregate 74.90% of the capital contribution received from its Investors in Indian Rupee terms.

The domestic scheme of the Real Estate Fund returned an aggregate 54% of the capital contribution received by it and the offshore scheme returned 49% of its capital contribution both in Indian Rupee terms.

Asset Management:

We offer a bouquet of 17 mutual fund schemes across the risk-return spectrum that cater to the specific needs of both institutional and non-institutional investors. Our risk and fund management framework allows us to effectively manage risk while generating high quartile returns across the product categories that we offer. 

The average AUM of our Mutual Fund schemes during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 stood at Rs. 16,161 crore. Out of this AUM, the AUM in the equity schemes was at Rs. 7,114 crore, under the Arbitrage scheme at Rs 2,966 crore and the AUM of the debt schemes stood at Rs. 6,081 crore.

The Board of Directors at their meeting today appointed Vishal Kampani as the Managing Director of JM Financial Limited, the listed holding company with effect from October 1, 2016. Vishal Kampani has been actively engaged with business at JM Financial since last 20 years and is the Managing Director of the Group’s NBFC JM Financial Products Limited and heads the Institutional Securities Business currently. With his appointment as Managing Director of JM Financial Limited, he is set to assume oversight on all the businesses in the Group.

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group, said…

“Given the improving macroeconomic environment backed by low oil prices, stable currency, normal monsoon and attention to revive investment projects, the country is poised for sustained growth over the long term.

The group’s fund based business has performed well during the quarter. Our focus on asset quality and net interest margin provides a solid foundation to our growth in the fund based business. As the consumption demand for funding increases, we expect to increase our lending book consistently.

We have also enhanced our focus on wealth management business and value added services for our clients. We firmly believe that our skills to deliver differentiated and tailor made solutions to our clients gives us an edge and we continue to leverage on the same.

Technology has become a major enabler for growth in the financial services sector. We have taken some initiatives in the sector. We will also continue to leverage evolving opportunities in the technology-backed platforms.”

Speaking on the change at the helm of the Group, Mr. Kampani said

“I believe that it is important for all businesses to implement a proper succession plan and I am committed to follow the same. With this in mind, I have decided to retire from executive role with effect from September 30, 2016 when I turn 70.

While I will continue to remain an integral part of the Group, it will be in a purely non-executive position as the Chairman of the Group and as a director on the Board of Directors of a few companies.

Vishal will lead the Group strategy in his position as Managing Director of the holding company, JM Financial Limited. The Board will continue to remain actively engaged with the business as always with continued focus on value based and compliant business practices for calibrated growth. All the Business Unit leaders will continue to lead the business working closely with Vishal.

I would, at this juncture in my life, like to spend more time and efforts on socially relevant activities. And surely on the activities that I truly enjoy but never found time for. Accordingly, I

will continue to spearhead the CSR efforts of the Group and the activities of JM Financial Foundation.”

Our Institutional Equities business saw increased client interaction during the quarter.  

India continues to attract significant equity flows from both foreign and domestic investors and the Institutional Business is well geared for this opportunity.  The business continues to focus on expanding research coverage and deepening client relationships across geographies.  Our international offices in Mauritius, Singapore and USA have also helped us to establish new relationships with investors focused on the Indian equity markets.

Investment Advisory and Distribution business offers Wealth Management, Equity Brokerage and Distribution Services.

Wealth Management business offers wealth management services to High Net worth families, Ultra High Net worth families & corporate treasuries and follows model of asset allocation and

custody services. The AUM of our wealth management business stood at Rs. 23,755 crore (excluding custody assets) as on June 30, 2016.

Equity Brokerage business offers equity sales and trading services to High Net worth Individuals, Corporates and Retail clients. This group is supported by technical and fundamental research teams and derivative strategists who generate Investment and Trading Ideas. We have increased our presence to 259 locations spread across 114 cities through a network of branches and franchisees.

In the Distribution business, we have a large network of over 8,300 active Independent Financial Distributors (IFDs) who distribute various financial products across the country. During the quarter, we helped corporates mobilise approximately Rs.1,000 crore in fixed deposit schemes and fixed income products.

Fund based business:

The overall lending book stood at Rs. 7,334 crore as on June 30, 2016. Out of the said lending book, the real estate lending book stood at Rs.5,670 crore and the capital market and other lending book at Rs.1,664 crore. We continued our efforts of diversifying our sources and maturities for our borrowing profile. Our long term borrowing as a proportion of total borrowing stood at approximately 44 % on June 30, 2016. Our commercial real estate funding focus is on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. We plan to selectively enter into new geographies to expand our business.

In light of the prevailing stress in the economy, we have been extremely selective and continue to remain focused on the asset quality.

During the last quarter, the asset reconstruction business participated in several NPA auction processes, initiated discussions with banks and also conducted due diligence for acquiring non-performing assets. Bids were submitted for several accounts. No fresh acquisitions were made during the quarter Overall Industry activity was low owing to first quarter of the year

and Banks were awaiting extension of guidelines relating to treatment of loss on sale of assets to ARCs. Nevertheless, we sustained our focus on resolution and recovery of our acquired portfolio and majority of the recovery came from restructured accounts.

National Company Law tribunal (NCLT) & NCLAT have been set up for faster resolution of corporate disputes. NCLT and NCLAT will pave the way for faster implementation of the bankruptcy Law passed in May 2016 and is another positive step towards NPA resolution. The Reserve Bank of India also notified S4A Scheme (Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets) which aims at financial restructuring of projects having a chance of sustained revival. The Reserve Bank of India also extended the time-frame to spread over the shortfall arising out of sale of bad assets to securitisation companies/ARCs at a price below the net book value to March 2017.

The above augurs well for the industry and shows the commitment of the regulator and Government towards resolving the stretched NPL position. We continue to focus on acquisition of new accounts with revival potential and with the objective of resolution of our acquired portfolio.

Alternative Asset Management:

At the end of the quarter, the combined AUM/AUA of our private equity and real estate funds stood at around Rs.751 crore.

Both the private equity and real estate funds continue to work closely with their portfolio companies to seek exit opportunities.

As on June 30, 2016, the private equity fund had returned an aggregate of 74.90 % of the capital contribution received from its Investors in Indian Rupee terms.

As on June 30, 2016, the domestic scheme of the Real Estate Fund had returned an aggregate of 54% of the capital contribution received by it and the offshore scheme returned 49% of its capital contribution in Indian Rupee terms.
