I now hand the conference over to Mr. Jignesh Shah, Whole-Time Director and Chief Executive
Officer of the Investment Manager of the Trust. Thank you and over to you, Mr. Shah.
Jignesh Shah: Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for Anantam Highways Trust Q2 FY2027
Earnings Call. This quarter marks an important milestone for us as we have completed one year
as a listed InvIT.
It is an appropriate time to reflect on what we set out to build, the progress we have made, and
the priorities that will shape our next phase. When we listed, our objective was not simply to
create another investment vehicle to hold road assets. We wanted to build an infrastructure
investment platform combining predictable cash flows, prudent financial management, robust
governance, and a credible pathway to growth.
One year into that journey, we believe the foundations are in place. We have an operating
portfolio of seven HAM assets, a track record of distributions, strong credit ratings, and an access
to a broader pipeline of opportunities to scale the platform.
Our focus now is on translating these foundations into sustained, long-term value creation for
our unitholders. Our underlying portfolio provides visibility through government-backed
annuity cash flows without traffic volume risk. This predictability is central to our investment
proposition and supports our ability to balance distributions, financial discipline, and future
growth.
For an InvIT, reported earnings are only one part of the picture. Equally important are cash
generation, sustainability of distributions, debt servicing capacity, and the financial flexibility to
pursue future investments.
For Q2 FY2027, consolidated revenue stood at INR158.2 crores. EBITDA was at INR131.9
crores and profit before tax at INR96.9 crores. During the quarter, we also repaid INR91 crores
of debt and maintained our AAA credit ratings.
The board has approved a distribution of INR2.75 per unit, taking cumulative distributions since
the initial portfolio acquisition in October 2025 to INR10.25 per unit, aggregating an
approximate distribution of INR223 crores.
We regard this as an important milestone in our first year. Our objective is to sustain a
distribution proposition supported by the underlying cash flows while preserving the financial
capacity needed to manage the portfolio responsibly and pursue growth.

On growth, our approach remains unchanged. Our ROFO arrangements provide access to a
meaningful pipeline of opportunities, but each acquisition must be appropriately valued,
financially sound, and beneficial to existing unitholders. We do not believe in pursuing scale for
its own sake. Our objective is to build a larger, stronger platform without compromising the
quality of cash flows or the discipline with which we allocate capital.
As we enter our second phase as a listed InvIT, our priorities remain clear, protect the quality of
the existing portfolio, sustain cash generation, maintain financial flexibility, and pursue growth
that creates enduring value for unitholders.
We recognize that credibility comes from execution rather than ambition alone. We believe the
foundations are in place and we remain focused on building on them through consistent
performance and sound decisions.
With that, let me take you through the detailed financial and operational performance for the
quarter. Total revenue on a consolidated basis for Q2 FY2027 stood at INR158.2 crores
compared with INR158.7 crores in the preceding quarter. Total expenses were INR26.3 crores,
resulting in an EBITDA of INR131.9 crores.
After accounting for finance costs and depreciation, consolidated profit before tax stood at
INR96.9 crores compared with INR89 crores in the preceding quarter. Overall, our financial
performance reflects the characteristics of the underlying annuity-based HAM portfolio. The net
distributable cash flow at the SPV level for the quarter stood at INR104.1 crores, as reported in
the presentation. At the Trust level, the distribution for the quarter aggregates approximately
INR59.8 crores, translating into a distribution of INR2.75 per unit.
The distribution comprises interest of INR0.608 per unit, dividend of INR0.349 per unit, capital
repayment of INR1.789 per unit, and other income of INR0.002 per unit. With this, cumulative
distribution since the acquisition of the initial portfolio on October 10, 2025, will reach
INR10.25 per unit.
These metrics need to be considered in the context of the overall InvIT structure. Cash generated
at the project level supports debt servicing and other financial obligations, while the cash
available at the Trust level supports distributions to unitholders.
We remain focused on delivering distributions supported by the cash flows of the underlying
assets while maintaining the financial flexibility needed to manage the portfolio and evaluate
future investment opportunities.
Outstanding debt reduced from approximately INR1,943 crores as of June 30, 2026 to INR1,852
crores as of September 30, 2026. The Trust continues to maintain AAA stable credit ratings from
India Ratings & ICRA.
Our debt maturity profile remains long-tenured, with the reported maturity extending to
December 2037. In addition, the linkage of interest income on outstanding annuities to MCLR
and bank rate provides a natural hedge against interest rate movements.

Taken together, predictable annuity cash flows, ongoing debt repayment, and a long-tenor
maturity profile support the Trust's ability to service its obligations while retaining financial
flexibility.
Looking ahead, our focus remains on protecting the financial strength of the existing portfolio,
sustaining distributions, and preserving the capacity to pursue acquisitions that are appropri
