25 Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the earnings for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS are calculated by dividing the earnings for the year attributable to the equity holders of the Company by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares. The following reflects the basic and diluted EPS computations:

27 Defined benefit plan and other long-term employee benefit plan

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed statutory defined period of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with insurance company in form of qualifying insurance policy. This defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and salary risk.

28 Share based payment plans

The Indiamart Employee Stock Benefit Scheme-2018 was approved by shareholders in annual general meeting held on May 07, 2018. The scheme is designed to provide incentives to employees to deliver long-term returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which vest upon completion of upto 72 months of service from the grant date. Participation in the plan is at the board appointed committee's discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

The Company has set up a trust to administer the scheme under which Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) and Stock options(ESOP), with substantially similar types of share based payment arrangements, have been granted to employees. The scheme only provides for equity settled grants to employees where by the employees can purchase equity shares by exercising SAR units/options as vested at the exercise price specified in the grant, there is no option of cash settlement.

b) The following methods / assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

i) The carrying value of deposits with banks, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans to employees, trade payables, security deposits, lease liabilities and other financial assets and other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

These have been assessed basis counterparty credit risk.

ii) The fair value of non-current financial assets and financial liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates of instruments with similar terms and credit risk. The current rates used do not reflect significant changes from the discount rates used initially. Therefore, the carrying value of these instruments measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value.

iii) Fair value of quoted mutual funds, exchange traded funds, investment trust and governement securities is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. We do not expect material volatility in these financial assets.

iv) Fair value of debt instruments of subsidiaries, equity/preference instruments of other entities is estimated based on replacement cost method / discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.

v) Fair value of the quoted bonds and debentures is determined using observable market's inputs and is classified as Level 2.

vi) Fair value of derivative contract liability is determined using Monte Carlo Simulation method and is classified as Level 3.

vii) Fair value of debt instruments of of associates is estimated based on replacement cost method / discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.

(Amounts in INK million, unless otherwise stated)

30 Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the returns to stakeholders through the optimisation of the borrowings and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Company consists of no borrowings and only equity of the Company.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of adequate liquidity.

31 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

The Company's Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Board is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes regular reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

i) Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and investments in mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and units of investment trust.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate).

Trade receivables

The Company primarily collects consideration in advance for the services to be provided to the customer. As a result, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on trade receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents and investments

Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and investments in mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and units of investment trust.

The company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, inter-corporate deposits and investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and units of investment trust with reputed banks and financial institutions. The credit risk on these instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Security deposits and Loans

The Company monitors the credit rating of the counterparties on regular basis. These instruments carry very minimal credit risk based on the financial position of parties and Company's historical experience of dealing with the parties.

ii) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's undiscounted financial liabilities based on contractual payments:

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include foreign currency receivables, deposits, investments in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds, units of investment trust and investment in other entities.

a) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The company's exposure to unhedged foreign currency risk as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 is not material. Currency risks related to the principal amounts of the company's US dollar trade receivables.

b) Interest rate risk

Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Company in liquid schemes of mutual funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment fund and investment trust provides high level of liquidity from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as ‘low risk' product from liquidity and interest rate risk perspectives.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

The transactions with related parties are entered on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. This assessment is undertaken each financial period through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

35 Contingent liabilities and commitments

1. Pursuant to the service tax audit for the financial year 2013-14 to 2017-18 (i.e.upto 30 June 2017), a demand has been raised on non-payment of service tax under rule 6(3) of CCR, 2004 on "Net gain on sale of current investments" of INR 15.38. The Company has already recorded the provision for the said amount in the books of accounts in the financial year 2019-20. The Company was contesting the aforesaid mentioned demand against commissioner (Appeals). During the current year, the order has been received rejecting the appeal and imposing 100% penalty of INR 15.38. The Company has filed the appeal before Tribunal against the order, and the management believes that the Company's position in the matter will be tenable.

2. On February 28, 2019, a judgment of the Supreme Court of India interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers altered historical understandings of such obligations, extending them to cover additional portions of the employee's income. However, the judgment isn't explicit if such interpretation may have retrospective application resulting in increased contribution for past and future years for certain employees of the Company. The Company, based on an internal assesssment, evaluated that there are numerous interpretative challenges on the retrospective application of the judgment which results in impracticability in estimation of and timing of payment and amount involved. As a result of lack of implementation guidance and interpretative challenges involved, the Company is unable to reliably estimate the amount involved. Accordingly, the Company shall evaluate the amount of provision, if any, on further clarity of the above matter.

3. The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, the outcome

of which is inherently uncertain. Some of these matters include speculative and frivolous claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews these provisions and adjusts these provisions accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. The Company believes that the amount or estimable range of reasonably possible loss with respect to loss contingencies for legal and other contingencies, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results or cash flows of the Company as at 31 March 2024.

4. The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company

towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The effective date from which the changes are applicable is yet to be notified and the final rules are yet to be notified. The Company will carry out an evaluation of the impact and record the same in the financial statements in the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are notified.

- As at 31 March 2024, the Company has INR 8.39 capital commitment (31 March 2023: NIL).

- The Company will provide financial support to its wholly owned subsidiaries, so as to meet their liabilities as and when the

same is required.
