Anuj Kumar, Managing Director said, ?Q4 FY?26 was a defining quarter for CAMS, as we delivered our highest-ever quarterly revenue, with double-digit Y-o-Y growth and best-in-class EBITDA margins of 46.5%. This performance reflects strong operating discipline, sustained scale benefits in our core mutual fund franchise and continued improvement in productivity across the organisation. This performance was anchored not only by the resilience and scale benefits of our core mutual fund franchise, but also by strong momentum in our expanding non MF businesses which grew over 24% year-on-year, underscoring the success of our diversification strategy.

Businesses across payments, alternatives, KRA and insurance repository continue to gain traction, contributing meaningfully to revenue momentum and long-term growth visibility. Within mutual funds, we continue to deepen and strengthen our partnerships with asset managers. During the quarter, Neo and Oaklane chose CAMS as their RTA partner, taking our total MF RTA relationships to 31. We also continued to gain market share and outperform the industry across key metrics, including assets under management, equity net sales, SIP registrations and growth in the investor base.

The SIF ecosystem is scaling well, with 6 SIFs going live so far and another 8 additional launches expected in the coming months, reflecting growing adoption of SIF. Alongside growth, our multi-year platform re-architecture programme is progressing well. Sustained innovation in technology, coupled with revenue growth (while maintaining a flat headcount) highlight the operating efficiency and long-term leverage that our next-generation platform is designed to deliver.

As we move ahead, our focus remains on strengthening platform leadership, scaling diversified growth engines and sustaining profitable growth, while reinforcing CAMS?s role as India?s most trusted financial market infrastructure partner.?
