Earnings Call
October 30, 2026
Management: Good evening, everyone, and a very warm welcome to PB Fintech Limited Earnings Conference Call
Q2FY27. Thank you for joining us today. On the call today, we have:
• Mr. Yashish Dahiya, Chairman & Group CEO, PB Fintech
• Mr. Alok Bansal, Executive Vice Chairman, PB Fintech
• Mr. Sarbvir Singh, Joint Group CEO, PB Fintech
• Ms. Santosh Agarwal, CEO, Paisabazaar
• Mr. Dhruv Sarin, CEO, PB Partners
• Mr. Mandeep Mehta, Group CFO, PB Fintech, and
• Mr. Mohit Khobragade, Head, Investor Relations, PB Fintech
We will begin with opening remarks from the management, followed by Q&A session. I now invite Yashish to share
his opening remarks. Over to you, Yashish.
Management: Thank you, Mohit. Good afternoon, good evening, good morning to everyone, wherever you are joining
from. Thank you for joining us. We've had another strong quarter with healthy growth across insurance and credit.
The total insurance premium for the quarter was ₹9,385 Cr, up 38% year-on-year, setting us up well for over ₹40,000
Cr this year. As always, growth was led by protection, because that's our focus from day one, and continues to be our
focus. Core online new health and term grew 42% YoY, and within this, new health grew 46% YoY. Consolidated
operating revenue grew 35% to ₹2,178 Cr. Core insurance revenue was up 42% YoY and core credit revenue, up 19%
YoY. PAT grew 43% to ₹192 Cr, and PAT margin improved from 8% to 9%. The quality of this growth shows in its
consistency. Core new premium, excluding savings, has now grown at above 34% for 14 consecutive quarters. And
our core renewal and trail revenue is now over ₹1,000 Cr, it's almost ₹1,100 Cr. On a rolling 12-month basis, up 42%
year-on-year. In credit, disbursals grew 22% in the core business and this has now risen for 5 consecutive quarters.
Our insurance-led new initiatives, PB Partners, UAE Business, and PB for Business, delivered ₹826 Cr of revenue, up
40% and are now close to break-even. UAE Premium grew 36% YoY.
Let me now address the question straight up, which I'm assuming is on everybody's mind. First of all, where do we
stand on IRDAI's consultation paper? IRDAI's consultation paper aims for lower mis-selling, better claims experience,
lower prices, and deeper penetration. We absolutely support all of these goals fully. These are the goals Policybazaar
was built on. Our first campaign back in 2009 was ‘Ullu Mat Bano’, aimed at addressing mis-selling. We have engaged
constructively with the regulator, and we will implement the final framework fully, and in its spirit. Second, the impact.
Lower distribution payouts will reduce our insurance distribution revenue, for sure. We are working on three fronts.
We will expand our non-insurance revenue within and as the regulator permits and there is some anticipation that
could happen. In the discussion paper, it does mention that. We will accelerate our ecosystem offerings. And as any
long-term business should, we are evaluating other options to strengthen our business over time. We will share much
more on this as and when the time is appropriate. Now, why do we remain confident? Health and term insurance stay
deeply under-penetrated. And for the consumer, it's not really about buying the policy. The customer gets nothing on
the day he buys it. The real test comes at claims. And I would like to just cover our record. On the four points that the
regulators themselves lay out. On claims in the health insurance industry, the industry data says 87% of health claims
are settled. That same number for Policybazaar customers is 97%. Last year, 11,156 rejected claims worth ₹185 Cr
were reopened after initial rejection and paid. In the first half of this year alone, we supported about 1.25 lakh health
claims and 80,000 motor claims. Our customer satisfaction is consistently above 90%. On persistency, 71% of our life
policies are still in force at month 61. This is against a benchmark of 51% to 66% for the large players. Our renewal in
health insurance is at 89%, rising to 91% from second-year renewals onwards. On mis-selling, in the life insurance
category, we get 16 complaints from our customers per 10,000 customers. This is against a benchmark of 30 to 53. In
health insurance, we get 21 claim complaints for every 10,000 claims. This is against a benchmark of 29 to 54. On

price reduction, for the plans they choose, our health customers pay, on average, 9% less and up to 30% less than
some other channels. And on reach and expansion of the market, about 40% of new customers added in Retail Health
across the country come through us. More than a quarter of India's pure term premium, 17.8% of the retail health
premium came through us last year. 74% of our term policies and 64% of our health policies come from Tier 2 and
Tier 3 cities. These outcomes are very much required in the country and that is why we, as a management team, are
super confident that we solve this particular problem. We are a part of the solution, and we will only grow stronger
through this. Our credit business and our UAE business are growing, and outside this broad framework. We will
maintain strict cost discipline over the years as we go through this period. What will we not do? While maintaining
this cost discipline, and profitability focus, we will not cut back on the customer proposition. Not one step back on
that. Choice, transparency, and claim support remain non-negotiable. We will remain fully compliant and consult with
the regulator on whatever we do in this area. Finally, since our listing, quarterly revenue has grown from ₹280 Cr to
₹2,178 Cr, a 51% CAGR, and the PAT margin has moved from -73% to 9%. That came from building around what
customers need. And we have a very clear, let's call it, mission, or strategy, whatever you want to call it. Over the next
1000 days, we will serve customers well, we will stay focused on that, we will stay disciplined on cost, and we will
keep investing in a market that remains deeply underpenetrated. It's a very simple strategy. Thank you. Look forward
to your questions.
Management: Thank you, Yashish. We will now move to the Q&A session.
Management: We will take the first question from the line of Sachin Salgaonkar from BofA. Sachin, please unmute
your mic.
Sachin Salgaonkar: Hi Mohit, thank you. Good day, management. I have 3 questions. First question, want to
understand anything specific happened in the quarter which led to an increase in selling and marketing expenses and
other expenses, both in terms of QoQ as well as YoY.
Management: Sachin, two things have happened. Last year, because of the GST impact and everything, and I think it
was kind of pre-GST, although this quarter. But somehow, last year, from June to, obviously till December, the demand
was very robust, and which meant that we spent, I would say, lower than our normal level of spending in marketing.
This year, it's been the reverse. Actually, demand has
