Shareholders' Letter | Q2 FY27
Dear Shareholders,
I am writing to you at a point where UGRO is in better shape than at any time since we started in 2018. In the
quarter just ended we disbursed more than ₹1,000 crore in every month, a first for us. Emerging Market LAP
and GROx, the two businesses we chose to build our future on, now make up 53% of our ₹15,019 crore of
assets, up from 32% nine months ago. Profit before tax rose 12% from a year ago and profit after tax rose
17%, while our quarterly operating costs are down by more than a third from where they were two quarters
ago.
The hard work of the last two years is behind us. Our branch network is built. Our embedded finance
platform is operating at scale. Our cost base has been reset. And the merger of Profectus, approved by
shareholders and creditors, completes the move to reported income that reflects how our loans actually
behave. What remains is the part I find most exciting: putting all of it to work.
This letter sets out what our two engines can deliver, the path to higher returns on your capital, and why I
believe the market's current view of UGRO does not reflect the institution we have built.
Milestones this quarter
▪ Record disbursements. More than ₹1,000 crore disbursed in every month of the quarter, a first for UGRO.
▪ A different portfolio. Emerging Market LAP and GROx are now 53% of AUM, up from 32% nine months ago.
▪ Merger approved by shareholders and creditors. Shareholders and creditors approved the merger of Profectus on
23 September 2026; the NCLT final hearing is on 20 November 2026.

Shareholders' Letter | Q2 FY27
02 | Where we stand
In February 2026 we made a deliberate choice. We stopped lending through intermediaries in lower-yielding
prime products and put our capital and people behind two businesses where we have a real edge: small-ticket
property loans through our own branches, and merchant loans embedded in the platforms small businesses
use every day. Nine months in, the choice is working.
Since the realignment Dec-25 / Q4 FY26 Sep-26 / Q2 FY27
Focused products AUM (EM LAP + GROx) ~₹5,000 Cr (32%) ₹7,929 Cr (53%)
De-focused book ₹10,458 Cr ₹7,090 Cr
Quarterly operating cost ₹205 Cr ₹127 Cr
Average branch productivity, a month ₹0.48 Cr (FY26) ₹0.73 Cr
Portfolio yield 17.6% (Q2 FY26) 18.7%
Reported, consolidated. GNPA in the focused products is 1.7%.
The merger of Profectus completes the transition. Shareholders and creditors approved it on 23 September
2026, and the NCLT final hearing is on 20 November 2026. Under the Scheme, income on our co-lent and
assigned loans moves to the basis on which those loans actually behave, and the Profectus goodwill and
acquisition cost are adjusted against reserves, with no charge to profit. Our pro forma net worth is about
₹2,454 crore, or about ₹158 a share (₹2,360 crore, or about ₹152 a share, on a tangible basis), and our pro
forma capital adequacy on a merged basis is about 22%.
Net worth bridge, ₹ crore. Pro forma, unaudited; subject to NCLT sanction and final accounting review.
In effect, the balance sheet has been reset once, through reserves. From here, the numbers we report will
carry far less of the volatility that came from booking co-lending income upfront and reversing it when loans
closed early. For readers who want the detail, the annexure explains how that income was recognised, with a
worked example.
03 | What our two engines can deliver
The opportunity in front of us is large. SIDBI estimates the addressable credit gap for India's small
businesses at about ₹30 lakh crore, roughly a quarter of their credit demand. The gap is widest, about a third,
for trading businesses, mainly because they lack the collateral banks ask for (ANI, 2025). Our two businesses
are built for exactly these borrowers: Emerging Market LAP for owners who have property but sit outside the
reach of large lenders, and GROx for shopkeepers and traders whose best evidence of creditworthiness is the
business they do every day.
■ A branch network that is built and now compounding
We have 317 Emerging Market branches across 13 states, with more than 1,800 sales executives and over 500
field collection officers. The build-out is complete; we do not need new branches to grow. A branch older
than 12 months disburses about ₹0.86 crore a month, against about ₹0.60 crore for one younger than six
months, and 210 of our branches are still under a year old. As they mature, the same network does more.
The arithmetic is simple. If every branch reached what our mature branches already achieve, the network
would disburse about ₹3,300 crore a year, against a run-rate of about ₹2,800 crore in Q2, with little addition
to fixed cost. These loans are secured on property and run for about five years in practice, so each year's
lending builds a book that earns interest for years.

■ Embedded finance: lending where merchants already do business
GROx lends inside the platforms that small merchants use every day to collect payments and run their shops.
We are live with 10 partners, including PhonePe, Paytm, BharatPe, Spice Money and Meesho. A merchant
applies in the partner's app, our models decide in minutes using live transaction data, and about 95% of
repayments are collect
