Speaking on the performance of the company, Mr. Motilal Oswal, CMD said.

“The gains in the benchmark index tapered this quarter. The BSE Sensex was up only 4.8% QoQ, as compared to the stellar 13.5% seen in the previous quarter. But despite a dip in cash equity volumes this quarter from the highs of May and June, the activity levels are still significantly higher than the historical levels seen in the last three fiscal years. Retail participation has seen traction this year as compared to recent years, which is encouraging. As the IPO pipeline gains further momentum, it should ideally bring in more retail participants into the markets as they seek to benefit from the opportunities. We have remained committed to investing in our technology, people and infrastructure through this period.

Segmentresults for Q2 FY15:

·      Broking and related revenues were `120.28 crore in Q2 FY15, up 4% QoQ and up 65% YoY. Equity market ADTO peaked this quarter, driven by a sharp QoQ off-take in option volumes. Cash volumes moderated slightly in Q2 FY15 to `20,325.79 crore, as compared to `22,606.53 crore in Q1 FY15. But this is still well above the last three year average. Retail participation in the cash markets continued to remain stable through Q2 FY15. Our market share decreased from 1.8% to 1.5% QoQ owing to the disproportionate rise in option volumes in the market. However, our market share in the high-yield cash segment increased slightly this quarter, which is encouraging. The significant change in market volume mix towards options segment resulted in blended yield decreasing from 4.3 bps to 3.7 bps QoQ
