Detailed Narrative
Q2 FY26 Performance Overview
360 ONE reported its highest-ever quarterly PAT of 316 crores, marking a 28% year-on-year increase. Total revenue grew 32% to 813 crores, driven by strong performance in both Wealth and Asset verticals. The company's total ARR AUM reached 2,95,000 crores, up 22% YoY, with Wealth ARR AUM exceeding 2 lakh crores. The cost-to-income ratio stood at 49.2%, with a tangible ROE of 20.6% for the quarter.
AUM Growth and Net Flows
The company achieved strong net flows of 32,132 crores in H1 FY26. In Q2 alone, net flows from core wealth and asset businesses (excluding UBS) were 8,734 crores, indicating a lower impact from attrition-related outflows. Management expressed confidence in maintaining a 10-12% net flow guidance for the entire year, with 75% expected from wealth and 25% from asset management.
Revenue and Profitability Drivers
ARR revenue increased 39.4% YoY to 554 crores, representing 73% of total revenue from operations, with strong retentions at 76 basis points (67 bps excluding carry). The integration of the Institutional Equities (B&K) business, contributing 40-45 crores quarterly, is improving the sustainability and quality of earnings by reducing periodic volatilities. Transaction income is targeted to grow 10-15% annually to 1,000-1,200 crores in the next 2-3 years, diversified across multi-asset classes.
Strategic Initiatives: UBS, B&K, and HNI Segment
The UBS India business transfer is complete, adding over 5,200 crores of relevant AUM and paving the way for global collaboration. The B&K acquisition is performing well, with its financials fully reflected this quarter and synergies emerging. The HNI business is ramping up, onboarding over 50 RMs and 380+ clients in H1 FY26, growing AUM to 2,300-2,400 crores, and is expected to show early signs of breakeven by Q3-Q4 of next year.
Talent Acquisition and Technology Investments
360 ONE continues to be an employer of choice, having onboarded multiple senior high-quality teams. The company plans to add 7-10 new RM teams (60-80 RMs) in the next 12-18 months, aiming for 280-340 RMs over the next 3-4 years to manage a projected 8,000-10,000 families. Technology remains a significant investment area, with pilots initiated for AI in internal use cases and a rollout across the firm planned.
Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns
The Board approved a second interim dividend of Rs 6 per share, reflecting confidence in the company's performance. Capital from the UBS warrants and QIP raise is being strategically deployed, with approximately 55-60% allocated to NBFC capital and 35-40% to the Alternate Asset side for sponsor capital, aiming to enhance overall earnings.
