revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Wealth and asset management is the primary focus area with a long runway of growth due to India's nascent market and under-penetration (~15%) compared to global markets (30-90%). - Revenue growth in wealth management recorded 17%-19% year-on-year for Q3 FY24; capital markets revenues grew 79% year-on-year indicating strong momentum. - Net new money from clients is expected to increasingly come from existing clients as the client base grows, with a split likely shifting toward 80% from existing clients over time. - RM capacity is targeted to grow around 20% year-on-year, supporting expansion and deeper client penetration. - Organic revenue growth drivers include increasing client wallet size (estimated 15% annual growth), new client acquisition, RM productivity improvements, and product diversification. - Capital markets revenues (custody, clearing, investment banking, institutional equities) may moderate slightly but are expected to remain stable in near term. - Overall industry growth drivers include rising disposable wealth, increased penetration, and expanding client base.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Wealth management and asset management are the primary focus areas for long-term growth due to their sunrise sector characteristics in India. - The industry is under-penetrated in India (~10%-15%) compared to developed countries (~80%-90%), indicating significant growth potential. - Organic growth driven by increasing client assets, acquisition of new clients, and rising productivity of existing RMs is expected. Existing clients’ wallets are projected to grow about 15% annually. - Revenue growth comes from a blend of market performance, increasing client wealth, and product offerings rather than purely market sentiment. - The company expects revenues and profitability to improve steadily; wealth management revenues grew 17%-19% YoY recently. - Nuvama is targeting gradual efficiency improvements, aiming to reduce revenue payout ratios to RMs from 20%-25% to around 17%-18% over 3-5 years to enhance margins. - Dividend payout structures may evolve, with less focus on reinvesting cash flows into lending and more on shareholder returns. - Overall, a 20%-25% industry growth is easy to assume over the next 10 years, implying potential EPS growth in line or higher, aided by operating leverage.
