PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

First Capital Holdings PLC (the Group) recorded a Total Comprehensive Income of Rs. 4.53Bn for the nine months ended 31 December 2024 compared to Rs. 9.35Bn recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.

The Group's Net Income before Operating Expenses for the nine months of 2024/25 was Rs. 7.69Bn compared to Rs. 17.90Bn reported in the corresponding period of the previous year. The significant variance is due to the extraordinary gains realised in the last year resulting from a substantial decline in interest rates, and post- domestic debt optimisation along with reduction in policy interest rates.

The Primary Dealer division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 2.45Bn for the nine months ended 31 December 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 10.06Bn). The Results include a trading gain on sale of government securities portfolio amounting to Rs. 2.58Bn and net interest income of Rs. 1.30Bn (2023/24 - Net trading gain on sale of government securities portfolio of Rs. 14.34Bn and net interest income of Rs. 2.64Bn were included).

The Corporate Finance Advisory and Dealing Securities division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 1.94Bn for the nine months ended 31 December 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 77Mn). The significant increase in Profit after Tax is due to the fair valuation gain of Rs. 2.23Bn on the business unit's Equity portfolio.

The Wealth Management division reported a Profit after Tax of Rs. 90Mn for the nine months ended 31 December 2024 (2023/24 - Profit after Tax of Rs. 20Mn). The assets under management of the division stood at Rs. 105.1Bn as of 31 December 2024 (31 March 2024 - Rs. 94Bn).

The Company reached an outstanding milestone at the SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2024, where it was awarded the prestigious "Brand of the Year" title. Additionally, for the third consecutive year, the company was acknowledged as a Great Place to Work.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4 Financial instruments- Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements in accordance with SLFRS 13.

Level - 1

Financial instruments that are measured in whole or in part by reference to published quotes in an active market. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

Level - 2

Financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures are determined using relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable securities.

Level - 3

Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

4.1 Fair values versus the Carrying amounts

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the Statement of Financial Position are
