1) What is the overall contract value of new deal wins and how should we forecast growth?
Answer: Contract values vary; international deals now average Rs.3-3.5 crore/year, up from Rs.1 crore, with larger pipeline deals (~$1M each). Revenue timing depends on transition periods, license fees, and annuity structures.
2) How does KFintech compete with global players like BNP Paribas or JP Morgan in the BlackRock Aladdin partnership?
Answer: KFintech focuses on specialized fund administration (not banking/custody), partners with custodians (e.g., Deutsche, StanChart), and leverages cost efficiency. Its non-bank specialization addresses client dissatisfaction with incumbents.
3) Why hasn't Singapore's pipeline converted to deals, and when will it materialize?
Answer: Singapore's market is alternatives-heavy; KFintech's XAlt platform is now ready. M&A and organic strategies are in motion, with progress expected soon.
4) Can international revenue guidance ($25M in 2 years) be revised post-BlackRock Aladdin partnership?
Answer: Potential is significant (108 funds, ~$10T AUM), but exact revenue impact will be clearer after Q1 2025 discussions with BlackRock on go-to-market plans.
5) Why wasn't KFintech selected for Jio BlackRock's India RTA?
Answer: Jio's decision prioritized diversification. The Aladdin partnership focuses on global opportunities, while India RTA remains separate due to platform differences.
6) What is the revenue sensitivity to a market downturn with reduced inflows?
Answer: A 4-5% sequential revenue decline is possible if mark-to-market drops outweigh inflows. Diversification (35% non-MF revenue) mitigates long-term risk.
7) How does the wealth management platform differ from existing TA/FA services?
Answer: Wealth solutions aggregate multi-asset portfolios (equity, PMS, alternatives) with advisory tools, unlike TA's single-asset operations. Revenue models include basis points (full service) or licensing fees.
8) Why did international revenue growth slow sequentially?
Answer: Q2 included lumpy transition revenue (e.g., Malaysia's Amanahraya). Recurring revenue will scale as signed deals (e.g., Philippines' Sun Life) mature.
9) What is the Sun Life custodian partnership's scope?
Answer: KFintech serves Sun Life's AMC and custodial clients (4-5 AMCs) in the Philippines. Similar custodian partnerships (e.g., StanChart) aid global expansion.
10) What is Hexagram's revenue contribution?
Answer: Hexagram revenue grew 60% YoY to Rs.9.5 crore for 9M FY25. It supports mutual funds, pensions, and alternatives via the mPower platform.
11) How volatile are Issuer Solutions yields?
Answer: Folio yields fluctuate with retail participation shifts in listed companies. High retail activity in outperforming stocks boosts yield, while outflows reduce it.
12) What is the revenue potential from the BlackRock Aladdin partnership?
Answer: Top-down estimates suggest ~6-7 bps on $11T AUM, but exact figures depend on client onboarding. Existing partners charge 2-3x KFintech's rates, aiding competitiveness.
Buy Backs: Company has bought back it's stock in the past which is a good thing.
Balance Sheet: Strong Balance Sheet.
Profitability: Very strong Profitability. One year profit margin are 30%.
Technicals: Bullish SharesGuru indicator.
Growth: Good revenue growth. With NA% growth over past three years, the company is going strong.
Size: Market Cap wise it is among the top 20% companies of india.
Smart Money: Smart money looks to be reducing their stake in the stock.
