| MARGIN & YIELD SUMMARY (Q1 FY27) |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| Gross Yield on Loan Portfolio | 12.70% (Reflects 10-bps PLR cut in June '26)|
| Average Cost of Borrowings (CoB) | 7.64% (Consistently low vs. HFC peers) |

| Net Interest Margin (Annualized) | 7.70% (Up 22 bps YoY from 7.48%) |

Yields moderated slightly to 12.70%, reflecting a cumulative 25-bps reduction in AAVAS’s Prime Lending Rate (PLR)—15 bps in March 2026 and 10 bps in June 2026. However, because the contractual cost of borrowings remained low at 7.64%, the net interest spread remained healthy at 5.06%.
