17th Annual General Meeting

After grappling with regulatory issues and drop in gold loan demand due to slowdown, it is my proud privilege to announce that Muthoot Finance Ltd., the largest gold financing company in India in terms of loan portfolio, has made a vigorous and dynamic new start and is back on the growth track. For us, this was long awaited but not unexpected. We were certain that we will bounce back as our systems and processes are so streamlined.

The Company has declared a net profit of `171 crore in the second quarter of FY15 and `351crore for the half year ended September 30, 2014. There has been a `392 crore increase in gold loan portfolio during the last quarter and this achievement is clearly the result of the concerted efforts of each and every person in the Company.Our Company’s performance during the quarter is a clear indication that our business model is designed to overcome adverse economic conditions and to deliver consistent results. Recently,we acquired equity shares of Asia Asset Finance PLC Colombo (AAF) a listed Financial Company in Sri Lanka, thus raising our total holdings of equity shares to 44.32% of the total number of equity shares of AAF. We have also been appointed as an Authentication UserAgency by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) to provide Aadhaar Enabled Services to our beneficiaries, clients and customers. During the quarter, we granted 8,43,000 options to the employees as approved by the ESOP Committee of Board of Directors in accordance with the “Muthoot ESOP 2013” scheme.The Muthoot Global Money Transfer Ltd., a part of Muthoot Global, the overseas arm of the Muthoot Group launched its web portal www.rupee2india.eu for European countries. The customers can collect cash instantly up to ̀ 50,000 from 4,500 Muthoot Finance branches across India. They can also avail the facility of transferring money from any bank with more than 85,000 branches across India. In accordance with our commitment to promoting sport in India, we have taken concrete steps towards culmination of our spirit towards ‘Excellence and Perseverance’ in whatever we do. As the principal sponsor of the 2nd edition of the Muthoot Finance Cochin International Half Marathon, the largest sporting event in Kerala, we are overwhelmed by the response it has fetched. Over 25,000 runners across Kochi are gearing up to participate in the marathon on 07 December 2014. The Muthoot Group announced its association with the Hero Indian Super League as the Official Referee and Fair Play Award Sponsor. The company unveiled ‘The Muthoot Group Fair Play Award’ trophy during a press conference at the Constitution Club, New Delhi. To partner with the Hero Indian Super League goes beyond business as ‘fair play’ reflects the innate values of the Muthoot brand and the game. The company believes that the concept of fair play extends beyond the game and has resonance and applicability in an individual’s day to day life. The association with the tournament will also allow the group to build the referees as brand advocates and ambassadors of fair play.We have also entered into a year-long partnership with WWF-India to work together on elephant conservation, with a special focus on managing human-elephant conflict (HEC) and protecting elephant habitats. For us, it is important to remember that the crucial thing is to be determined to make a wholehearted effort in everything that we do. We should carry on with enthusiasm, maintaining a positive, forward-looking attitude and neverlook back.Warm regards
