The business has been focused on bank outsourcing solutions.

FY24 has been a record year with robust growth for the Cash Logistics Solutions business. India's high GDP growth rate and cash in circulation, at an all-time high (growing at a 2016-2024 CAGR of 20.8%) are the key drivers for growth of the cash logistics industry.

The business has transformed into a Bank Outsourcing and Support Solutions provider and not merely a provider of Cash Logistics Solutions. Moving beyond the ATM business to focus on services like currency chest management, cash processing etc. will enable the

acquired key contracts in the segments viz., retail, logistics, real estate, technology, hospitality, and education.

Inspite of the winding down of special COVID related contracts and labour shortages, the business managed to improve its operating margins and at the same time also successfully passed on record wage increases in its pricing with customers.

The Group's Facility Management Solutions business comprises:

i. SMC Integrated Facility Management Solutions Limited ("SMC"), Dusters Total Solutions Services Private Limited and Rare Hospitality & Services Private Limited in the business of housekeeping and cleaning services.

ii. Terminix SIS India Private Limited ("Terminix SIS"), in the pest control business; and

The business recorded its highest ever annual revenues at ' 20,921 Million in FY24, up from 18,998 Million in FY23, a robust growth of 10.1%.

The revenue growth is largely driven by key business segments like Healthcare, Manufacturing, Warehousing and Property Management & Educational institutions.

The One SIS programme, which aims to provide integrated solutions comprising security services, facility management, pest control and other allied services to the clients, under a common contractual arrangement is spearheaded primarily by the FM business. One SIS operates in 29 states / UTs across the country including J&K and Andaman. During FY24, we achieved a revenue

business to become a formidable industry participant. These lines of services also offer higher margins.

We are at the forefront of industry innovation, with only about 20% of our business stemming from the traditional ATM business. The QR code based DSB pick-up along with Green DSB solution is being rolled out to more banks. Other innovative solutions such as bullion management, man behind the counter (PEGE), value cargo, Cash today, and Cash Process Outsourcing (CPO) are continuously growing. The focus on bank outsourcing solutions continues with innovative solutions accounting for 5.5% of FY24 revenue.

We continue to focus on the non-ATM business, which includes retail banking and cash-in-transit business and increased our focus on new value-added services and products. We now operate over 3,000 cash vans, service ~9,000 ATMs and provide doorstep banking services across 22,000+ pickup points and operate 60+ vaults and strong rooms across the country. The business focused on solution selling and sales in new segments which now contribute ~6% of overall revenue with ~26% of currency chests outsourcing to us.

By the end of FY24, almost 60%+ of ATMs serviced by us were functional on Cassette swap operations.

The global cash logistics market is expected to reach $41 Bn. in 2032 at a CAGR of 6.8% from $22.5 Bn in 2023 on the back of growing demand for secure cash management services, rapid technological advancements, widespread shift of retail and banking sectors and a strategic shift towards outsourcing non-core activities.

Despite the global slowdown, India's economic growth rate is the highest globally and reflects relatively robust domestic consumption and lesser dependence on global demand.

Robust public and private investments and a strong services sector are likely to boost India's GDP in FY25. Higher capital expenditure on infrastructure development, by both the central and state governments, the rise in private corporate investment, strong services sector

spur demand. According to IMF, the Indian economy is projected to grow at 6.3% in both 2024 and 2025 driven by robust public and private investment and strong services sector.

Private corporate investment is expected to get a boost with stable interest rates. With inflation moderating to 4.6% in FY24 and easing further to 4.5% in FY25, monetary policy may become less restrictive, which will facilitate rapid off take of bank credit. Demand for financial, real estate and professional services will grow while manufacturing will benefit from muted input cost pressures that will boost industry sentiment. However, geopolitical tensions and weather-related shocks are key risks to India's economic outlook.

Overall economic growth of the country directly fuels demand for Security, Facility Management ("FM"), and Cash logistics Solutions.

Economic growth boosts demand for security services leading to volume growth for SIS. The security services industry's formalization augments market share for organized players like SIS. This combined with the growth in Infra (rapid urbanization, smart city projects) and manufacturing sectors to enhance demand for security solutions and allied services indicates a long-term robust growth potential for the sector.

In the domestic cash management industry, growth in currency in circulation (CIC) is driving the growth of Retail Cash Management (RCM) and Cash-in-transit (CIT). CIC has increased from ~' 13 Tn in FY17 to ~' 35 Tn in FY24, an ~3x growth. As a result, the RCM market size is projected to increase from INR 600 cr. in FY21 to over INR 2,000 cr. in FY27, at a CAGR of 23%, and the CIT market size is projected to increase from INR 670 cr. in FY21 to over INR 1,400 cr. in FY27, at a CAGR of 13%. The cash management industry in India is undergoing a major shift, with companies looking beyond the ATM business to focus on bank outsourcing services such as currency chest management. The total addressable market (TAM) for cash management (ATM cash management, RCM, DCV) stood at INR 28.7 Bn. in FY21 and is estimated to reach a size of INR 78.9 Bn. in FY27 growing at a CAGR of 19%.

With the growing popularity of e-commerce platforms, the overall need for infrastructure and organized spaces is increasing, which is also influencing the FM services market positively. Furthermore, India is creating world

class facilities with a boom in urban infrastructure projects across the country which are anticipated to augment the demand for FM services to maintain safety, health, and productivity.

The security solutions industry is evolving. Given that minimum wage increases twice a year, human resource costs are increasing Pan-India. This coupled with rapid urbanization, smart city projects and large infrastructure developments are increasingly adopting e-security solutions driving the growth of the electronic security market. This positions the Company in a favorable position to be able to cater to customer requirements with integrated man-tech security solutions.

The Company continues to focus on delivering robust organic growth and it is expected that inorganic growth will provide additional growth enhancement. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities with niche capabilities / customer segments which can further augment our service offerings or presence in specific service segments especially in the India businesses. Continued investments in technology for improving internal processes and systems, increasing efficiency and productivity and driving synergies across business divisions / entities will enable us to achieve cost savings and superior profitability.
