Brigade Enterprises Ltd Chairman Speech

RESILIENT AND GEARED FOR GROWTH

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

I am happy to connect with you again. The financial year 2022-23 has been a very good year for the real estate business despite rising building costs, a higher repo rate, etc. By combining innovation, technology, and smart design, developers have added value to their real estate oRs.erings. With rising demand, the country's commercial real estate market's oRs.ce and retail divisions expanded by triple digits, while the residential segment grew by an astounding 40% over the previous year. The rise of the e-commerce industry, as well as India's emergence as the world's fastest-growing business and information technology centre, have resulted in an extraordinary demand for commercial real estate in the country.

Brigade has achieved its highest sales figures to date for the year. This remarkable accomplishment can be attributed to the outstanding performance of all our business verticals, each contributing significantly to our record-breaking numbers. Looking ahead, we anticipate maintaining and building upon this momentum across all lines of business. We have a promising pipeline of new residential projects, a thriving leasing business, and projected growth in our hospitality sector throughout the next financial year.

As a validation of our consistent performance, our credit rating also been upgraded by ICRA from A+ (positive) to AA- (stable) in May 2023.

In FY23, Brigade achieved an all-time high with new sales in the real estate segment, of 6.3 Million square feet and value of 4,108 Crore. Of this, Residential sales accounted for 6.075 Million square feet, amounting to a value of 3,908 Crore. This reflects a significant growth of 31% in terms of area and a 32% increase in value compared to the previous fiscal year. Furthermore, our total collections reached 3,721 Crore, a 21% rise from the previous year. During FY23, we forayed into the plotted development segment and launched three new plotted projects, almost completely selling out on launch and accounting for over

1 Million square feet from this segment alone.

The office segment market had a relatively good year despite a turbulent macro-economic environment across the globe. There were concerns of a recession in Europe and United States and this led to delayed decision making for large office space requirements. Office parks have an improved occupancy ranging from 45%-65%. Asia is the bright spark with the highest greturn to officeh levels of the workforce.

The retail industry had a blockbuster year due to an increase in discretionary income and consumer sentiment. Consumers preferred to shop in-store across various categories including restaurants, movie theatres and family entertainment centres (FECs). With rising urban population and per capita income, India's organised retail market will continue to show robust growth.

Our hotel portfolio showed an impressive revival in occupancies, ARRs, F&B revenue, banquet events (both corporate and social), leisure, and group travel.

Brigade Group posted a revenue of 3,563 Crore for FY23 as against 3,066 Crore in FY22, an increase of 16%. The

Earnings before Depreciation, Interest, Tax and Amortization

(EBITDA) stood at 978 Crore as against 833 Crore in FY22, being an increase of 17%. The ProfitTax and after Minority Interest of 291 Crore as against 83 Crore in FY22, an increase of 168%.

In FY23, as a part of good governance I had relinquished my position of Managing Director and continuing as Wholetime Director & Chairman. Mr. Aroon Raman,

Independent Director was appointed as Vice Chairman. Ms. Pavitra Shankar, previously Executive Director, has been redesignated and appointed as Managing Director and

Ms. Nirupa Shankar, previously Executive Director, has been redesignated and appointed as Joint Managing Director. These actions were done in accordance with our succession planning strategy and as part of global best practices and strong corporate governance. I am convinced that Brigade will reach new heights under their leadership.

Our top goal is to give the best designs, products, and services to our customers. We have made every effort to invest consistently in our employees, technology, goods, and tools. Brigade is committed to hiring a diverse workforce and creating a culture in which all employees are recognised and respected. Brigade Enterprises has been consistently recognised by the Great Place to Work institute as a Great Place to Work for 13 years in a row.

The Brigade Foundation has been in charge of a wide range of developmental activities in the three key areas of education, health and community development. As part of its commitment to the community, Brigade Foundation is setting up Brigade BCIC Skill Development Academy, a Skill

Development Academy with state-of-the-art infrastructure; with an initial focus on the construction, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing sectors. The proposed park will be built at Bengaluru's High Tech, Defence and Aerospace

Park, spanning 4.7 acres. In addition to our ongoing programmes, we launched several new initiatives aimed at improving both the quality of life in the surrounding communities and the natural environment in and around our operational locations.

Throughout the year, we received a number of recognitions and awards. To name a few, Brigade was named India's Top Builder at the Construction World Architect and Builder

Awards 2022, and Brigade El Dorado received the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Award 2022. The FKCCI has bestowed upon me the eBharat Ratnaf Sir M Visvesvaraya Award for services to construction, building activity, education, health, community development, and social and humanitarian work.

Having weathered many storms, the Brigade Group is stronger and more resilient than ever before. This has given us the strength to face whatever the future has in store for us. Our future holds a lot of promise, and I am certain that it will be more sustainable and brighter than it has ever been.

I would like to express my gratitude to all stakeholders for your continued trust.
