Revenue & Growth Trajectory * **Post-Pandemic Recovery:** Achieved significant top-line scaling to record levels, representing a complete turnaround from near-zero activity in 2022. * **Segment Momentum:** Robust consolidated growth driven by strong demand across all business segments and successful execution of the "cash-and-carry" model for new ventures. ## C. Margins & Profitability Drivers * **Operating Leverage:** Strong double-digit EBITDA growth and margin expansion achieved despite a **two-month lead time** for vehicle deployment. * **Profitability Headwinds:** PAT growth was moderated by aggressive fleet expansion, which caused depreciation to more than double to **₹47 Cr** and increased finance costs. * **Yield Optimization:** Management identified a potential **2% to 3%** margin upside through improved vehicle utilization and competitive pricing, though they remain cautious on ROE targets for owned assets. ## D. Capital Structure & Cash Flow * **Funding Strategy:** Debt-to-equity ratio increased to support fleet acquisitions, while net worth grew to over **₹200 Cr**, maintaining a stable financial foundation. * **Liquidity & Assets:** Maintained a strong liquidity position with significant cash reserves; the delta in net fixed assets was primarily attributed to high non-cash depreciation charges. * **Operational Efficiency:** Substantial turnaround in cash flow from operations supports a robust pipeline of new accounts and future growth sustainability. --- # 2.

International Operations * **Dubai Expansion:** Strong top-line momentum in the UAE driven by a shift into the mature self-drive market, despite contributing only **3%** to total group revenue. * **Regional Resilience:** Rental activity saw a temporary **5% to 10%** dip in early Q1 due to regional conflicts, but witnessed a recovery starting in June. * **Global Footprint:** Plans are underway to establish additional overseas entities to complement the strengthening Dubai operations. ## E. Subsidiary & Airport Performance * **FleetPro Unit:** High operational profitability (EBITDA) is currently offset by depreciation and finance costs, resulting in a marginal accounting loss of **₹80 Lakhs**. * **High-Margin Airport Vertical:** Presence across **17 airport counters** remains a premium segment, delivering superior EBITDA margins compared to the consolidated average. --- # 4. Business Model & Strategy ## A. Key Figures * **Fleet Growth:** **706 cars** Net addition (post-disposals) * **Operating Cost Ratio:** **80% to 82%** of total costs (Drivers, Fuel, EMI, Depreciation, Interest) * **Airport Segment Rental:** **30% to 35%** of segment revenue * **Fuel Escalation Trigger:** **+/- 5%** price change ## B. Operating Models & Asset Strategy * **Shift Toward Asset-Heavy Model:** The company is intentionally increasing vehicle ownership to ensure operational stability and service quality, resulting in a more working capital-intensive structure.

[17, 18] * **Variable Cost Protection:** Fuel price volatility is mitigated through contractual escalation clauses, while the Uber Black segment utilizes a **revenue-sharing model** to manage manpower costs. [6, 8] * **Strategic Visibility:** High rental payouts to airport authorities are maintained as a strategic investment in brand visibility and premium market positioning. ## D. Competitive Position & Strategic Initiatives * **Market Leadership:** Established as India’s largest B2B ground mobility provider, recently achieving **INR 832 Cr** in revenue—more than double that of premium competitors like Avis.

Receivable Management & Strategy * **Working Capital Intensity:** Elevated receivables are a byproduct of aggressive scaling and a deliberate strategy to capture market share from established competitors. * **Fortune 500 Onboarding:** High collection timeframes are driven by the onboarding of massive accounts like **Citibank**, which contributes **INR 7 Cr to INR 8 Cr** in monthly revenue. * **Administrative Lag:** Management anticipates a normalization of the DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) as administrative processes for new large-scale contracts typically require **3 to 5 months** to stabilize. * **Asset Quality & Debt:** Leadership asserts that **100%** of current debt is recoverable, maintaining that extended collection cycles are a timing issue rather than a credit risk. * **Inter-company Billing:** Receivables include **INR 15 Cr** from fleet services (out of **INR 60 Cr** charged) currently billed under the Aaveg entity pending formal contract transfers. ## C.
