What could break the thesis?
STABLE. Management noted a high tax rate in Q4 due to the withdrawal of indexation benefits (budgetary change), which increased the taxation rate by 2.3%, impacting net profitability. (1 stable)
“it is because of a change in the deferred tax liability on account of the budgetary regulation change where the indexation benefit was withdrawn.”
EASING. Management has successfully rationalized costs despite opening 91 new branches. Operating expenses are described as 'well under control' with a 6% YoY increase in other expenses despite a massive branch expansion from 164 to 255. (2 easing)
“this physical expansion has been carried out with net zero cost addition to UTI AMC by rationalizing space, reallocating people and modifying branch organizational structure.”
