Q2 FY27 Earnings Call. On behalf of ICICI Securities, I would like to thank Ujjivan SFB
management team for giving us the opportunity to host this call.

Furtado, Whole-Time Director and Interim CEO; Mr. Balakrishna Kamath, CFO; Mr. Ashish

Carol Furtado: Thank you, Renish. Good evening, and thank you all for joining us to discuss Ujjivan Small
Finance Bank's Q2 FY27 Earnings Call. Please note, I will be referring to year-on-year
comparisons with Q2 FY26 and quarter-on-quarter with Q1 FY27.
I would like to start with a few important developments before delving into the quarter. Post our
MD, Mr. Sanjeev Nautiyal's decision to take an early retirement due to health reasons, the NRC
is actively engaged to ensure timely submission of the MD candidate to the regulator.
Our growth in H1 FY27 has been built on strategic capacity creation and product evolution. This
is matched with pristine asset quality outcomes. We remain well positioned with regards to
people, technology, systems, and risk management to continue this growth momentum.
Within the shareholders approved resolution at the AGM, we propose to raise equity capital of
INR409 crores from QIBs by issuing shares on a preferential basis to marquee investors,
International Finance Corporation, Bajaj Life Insurance, HDFC Life Insurance, and Aditya Birla
Sun Life Insurance, subject to shareholder approval. Holding the RWA constant at September
'26, the proposed capital raise would increase CRAR by approximately 1.2% from 20.69% on a
pro forma basis.
Since fundraise is being done at a premium to current BVPS, it will lead to accretion of INR0.8
per share as of September '26. We remain nimble to the evolving needs of the bank. Thus, as
Page 2 of 16

shared, we have enhanced our funding mix by increasing the securitization pool by INR500
crores in October month. This will be NIM accretive and P&L neutral.
Now coming to the operating environment. India's GDP, gross capital formation and high-
frequency indicators remain healthy and appear resilient to external shocks. Renewed conflict
in the Middle East and increased volatility in global energy and freight prices are adding to
inflationary pressures.
In its latest MPC statement, the RBI raised its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 7.1%, while the
committee increased the repo rate by 25 bps and shifted to calibrated tightening. A deficient
Southwest monsoon and strong El Nino conditions pose risk to rural demand, while urban
demand remained stable.
Q2 of FY27 has demonstrated another quarter of strong growth anchored on well-rounded credit
growth and stable margins. Along guided lines, in H1 of FY27, we have strengthened our
distribution by adding 104 branches and 1,335 employees. We launched a well-curated brand
campaign in September '26 with a new brand ambassador, Padma Shri Awardee, Mr. R.
Madhavan.
Ujjivan today has evolved significantly in terms of its scale, reach and breadth of offerings. The
tagline, Nothing Small About Us, reflects the scale of Ujjivan's aspirations, reach and the breadth
of financial solutions it offers. This campaign will be run across TV, print, and digital and is
expected to reach around 35 crores viewers. Other institutional building spends on digital and
technology have been set in motion and will reflect in H2.
This quarter marked an important milestone as we crossed INR50,000 crores in deposits. Total
deposits increased to INR50,643 crores, up 29.2% year-on-year with CASA at 26%. We
continue to add customers and increase volumes across our various deposit offerings. We
benefited from the downward repricing of deposits, which helped maintain the cost of funds at
around 6.9%. Although no rate hikes were taken in Q2, the increase effective in Q1 would now
start showing, and we expect the cost of funds to start moving upwards.
In line with our strategy to expand services for depositors, we launched the ASBA facility in
Q2. Going forward, we will focus on simplifying transactions, increasing awareness and
adoption of newly introduced services and deepening engagement with customers. The gross
loan book clocked robust growth and reached INR45,699 crores, up 32.1% year-on-year. This
translates to 12.4% YTD growth and are on track to meet the full year guidance.
The secured business lines continue to grow faster and now forms 52.1% of the loan book. The
unsecured piece consisting of micro banking delivered healthy growth, reaching INR22,037
crores. This portfolio has grown approximately 6% in the first half of FY27 and remains on track
to deliver around 12% to 14% for the full year.
Some key callouts for the quarter in micro banking. Collection efficiency remains strong with
Bucket X collection efficiency at 99.7%, in line with Q1 outcome. New customer acquisition

increased sequentially with an addition of 2 lakh customers in Q2. Despite usual weather
disruptions in July, August, September, we have delivered on healthy disb
