As a reminder, all individuals are in listen-only mode and the convention is being recorded. After the presentation, there will likely be a possibility to ask questions. [Operator Instructions] Now I want to flip the convention over to Alan Fleming, Head of Investor Relations. Please go forward, Mr. Fleming.

We’ll finish the decision with Jaspreet Dehl, Chief Financial Officer, who will evaluation our monetary efficiency for the quarter. After we end our ready remarks, the staff will then be accessible to take your questions. And with that, I’d now wish to go the decision over to Anuj.

Anuj Ranjan: Thanks, Alan, and good morning, all people. Thank you for becoming a member of us on the decision right this moment. We had an excellent quarter, and we’re happy with the progress that we’re making throughout our enterprise. Our monetary outcomes this quarter have been very sturdy with adjusted EBITDA rising to $844 million. This features a vital worth of credit that Clarios is entitled to obtain underneath the Inflation Reduction Act, which is concentrated on enhancing home provide chain and selling essential manufacturing within the United States. This provides us the power to create an excellent stronger enterprise within the U.S. and search for further development alternatives for the corporate. We’ve additionally been busy setting the stage for the continued development of our enterprise.

We closed our acquisition of Network International, which we plan to mix with our current operation Magnati to create the market-leading digital funds enterprise within the area. Adrian will converse extra about this shortly. Meanwhile, on the capital recycling entrance, we generated greater than $350 million of proceeds from distributions and monetizations, together with the just lately introduced sale of a good portion of Altera. We are additionally very inspired by the progress we’re making on our monetization plans at Clarios and will be capable of present an extra replace quickly. Stepping again, since launching BBU, we’ve invested about $9 billion alongside Brookfield’s non-public fairness enterprise to amass high-quality mission essential and market-leading companies.

Most of those are nice compounders of worth in their very own proper, and we’re making them even higher as we execute our enchancment plans, leveraging our non-public fairness playbook, which has been developed and honed over the previous 25-years. By promoting on the proper time, we will understand sturdy returns and reinvest the capital to proceed compounding worth. We’ve had nice success doing this as a public firm, realizing over $6 billion of proceeds from the sale of 20 companies delivering a 3 instances a number of of our capital and producing an IRR of roughly 30%. This is an distinctive composite observe file and we’re solely simply getting began. Half of the companies we personal right this moment have been acquired over simply the final three years, which suggests there’s nonetheless plenty of runway to go as we execute our enchancment plans.

Most of those operations are bigger scale and better high quality than the companies we’ve offered, which signifies that the distribution needs to be bigger and the proceeds that can come again to us sooner or later once we promote these companies will likely be even higher. While our buying and selling costs elevated practically 70% since this time final 12 months, our shares are nonetheless buying and selling at a large low cost to intrinsic worth. As charges proceed to return down, our money flows will develop, transaction exercise will return and traders ought to resume worth in our models on a basic foundation. All of that is good for our enterprise and will set the stage for additional enchancment in our buying and selling efficiency as we proceed to give attention to compounding worth for our shareholders. Before I go the decision over to Adrian, I wished to thank all of you who have been capable of be a part of us in September at our Annual Investor Day.

It was nice to see so many acquainted faces within the room and for anybody who is just not capable of be a part of us, the webcast and supplies can be found on our web site. And with that, I’ll now flip the decision over to Adrian.

Adrian Letts: Thank you, Anuj, and good morning, all people. It’s nice to be becoming a member of you this morning. As Anuj talked about, we’ve made some nice progress in our enterprise over the previous few months, together with closing the acquisition of Network International and signing an settlement to promote Altera’s shuttle tanker operations. Each present an perception into our strategy to worth creation, which I believed I’d spend a while speaking about right this moment. So let’s begin with our acquisition of Network International. As a reminder, Network International is the market-leading digital fee companies supplier within the Middle East, servicing over 150,000 retailers, managing 18 million credit score and debit playing cards on behalf of main monetary establishments and processing over $50 billion of funds yearly.

It’s an unimaginable enterprise, offering a mission-critical know-how that permits each governments and retailers to securely course of each on and off-line funds, thereby forming the spine of the monetary economies the place it operates. Network can be benefiting from huge secular tailwinds. Both income and revenue have grown at an annual price of greater than 15% over the previous two years, pushed by underlying demographic development within the area and the continual shift from money to card and on-line funds. Despite this, the enterprise was by no means very well understood as a publicly listed Middle Eastern firm on the London Stock Exchange, and the dislocation within the public value allowed us to amass it for what we felt was superb worth. But what additionally made this acquisition significantly attention-grabbing for us is that we already personal Magnati, the second largest fee processor within the area.

Combining these two companies creates a champion within the high-growth fee resolution house. The mixed platform may have unmatched scale and restricted buyer overlap. And with the vast majority of fee quantity within the area now going by our pipes, we may have an amazing knowledge and knowledge benefit, which can permit us to generate insights to enhance each the product providing, but additionally the client expertise. It’s a tremendously thrilling alternative for us and the combination plans are progressing nicely. We’ve stood up a devoted transformation workplace overseeing key work streams and have secured some current wins throughout income, price and CapEx optimization synergies. Our potential to execute complicated carve-outs like what we did with Magnati and drive large-scale transformation makes us a associate of selection in these kinds of conditions.

Turning to Altera, which as you understand, has been considered one of our more durable conditions over the previous a number of years, it’s in these kinds of situations the place our hands-on strategy to worth creation serves us exceptionally nicely, taking a longer-term view doubling down on the backside and rolling up our sleeves to maximise our returns. It’s been practically two years since Altera emerged from a course of aimed toward simplifying the capital construction and giving the enterprise extra flexibility to execute on its long-term development plans. We’ve supplied the enterprise with further capital to deleverage the stability sheet and put in place a complete working plan to enhance efficiency and reposition operations. Since then, the outlook for Altera has dramatically improved, pushed by recovering buyer sentiment, a renewed give attention to offshore subject developments and the advantages of an inflationary surroundings, which has elevated the worth of Altera’s belongings and allowed it to contract at larger costs.

On the again of this, final 12 months, the enterprise entered into long-term contracts for the redeployment of two floating manufacturing storage and offloading vessels on new subject developments offering elevated certainty to its longer-term earnings and money circulate. It additionally efficiently accomplished a debt refinancing, which lowered the price of its borrowings and has continued divesting non-core belongings to pay down debt. With the enterprise on a significantly better footing right this moment, simply this week, we reached an settlement to promote Altera’s shuttle tanker operations for whole consideration of about $1.9 billion. BBU’s share of internet proceeds is anticipated to be $265 million. This is a wonderful end result, and none of this may have been doable two years in the past, however by being affected person and leaning into our operational capabilities, we’re capable of assist the enterprise and discover a path to maximise worth as we proceed working in direction of realizing further proceeds from the sale of different models of the enterprise.

With that, I’ll hand it over to Jaspreet for a evaluation of the monetary efficiency within the quarter.

Jaspreet Dehl: Thanks, Adrian, and good morning, everybody. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $844 million in comparison with $655 million within the prior 12 months. Current interval outcomes included a $296 million profit recorded at our superior power storage operations. These advantages are manufacturing credit for the 12-months ended September 30, 2024, which the enterprise is entitled to say underneath the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the relevant laws which have been finalized final month. On a same-store foundation after adjusting for acquisitions and tendencies and the profit recorded at Clarios in the course of the quarter, adjusted EBITDA was according to prior 12 months. While total enterprise efficiency has been steady, we noticed some softness in choose markets.

At our engineered elements producer, we’re seeing weaker gross sales volumes and we anticipate demand will normalize subsequent 12 months. The state of affairs at our well being care companies operation on Australia is far more difficult, the place the enterprise has an unsustainable price construction primarily on account of wage inflation within the trade. Adjusted EFO for the quarter was $582 million, which included $131 million of internet features primarily associated to the disposition of our highway gas operation and the deconsolidation of our fee processing companies operations in our Business Services section. Turning to our section efficiency. Our Industrial section generated $500 million of third quarter adjusted EBITDA. Underlying efficiency was supported by rising contributions from our Brazilian water and wastewater companies operations, pushed by larger billing charges in addition to sturdy contribution from our superior power operations.

Prior interval outcomes included contributions from disposed operations, together with our Canadian aggregates manufacturing enterprise, which was offered in June. Moving to our Business Services section. We generated third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $228 million. Prior interval included contribution from our highway fuels operation, which was offered in July. Our residential mortgage insurer is performing nicely and benefited from larger insurance coverage income and funding revenue. Housing fundamentals in Canada stay balanced in most areas, and forecasts point out that costs are anticipated to extend subsequent 12 months as mortgage charges come down. Results at our supplier software program and know-how companies operation included the impression of upper prices because the enterprise accelerates its modernization and know-how improve actions.

Finally, our Infrastructure Services section generated $146 million of adjusted EBITDA in comparison with $228 million final 12 months. Prior 12 months included $77 million of contributions from Nuclear Technology Services, which was offered final November. Results benefited from sturdy efficiency at our offshore oil companies operation. Performance at our lottery companies operations noticed some impression from the push out of terminal deliveries within the quarter and lower-sized jackpot ranges, which resulted in softer trade volumes in comparison with final 12 months. The enterprise is positioned for a number of potential industrial wins over the subsequent few quarters that ought to contribute significant incremental development. Turning to our stability sheet. We ended the quarter with $1.6 billion of liquidity on the company stage, which is pro-forma for current and introduced acquisitions and realizations.

Our near-term focus is to scale back borrowings at our company credit score facility, which we’ve drawn as a bridge to fund a portion of our current acquisition exercise. We’ll additionally proceed to put money into strategic acquisitions to develop our enterprise, reinvest in our current operations to generate incremental returns and opportunistically repurchase our models the place it is going to improve intrinsic worth of our models. With that, I’d like to show the decision again over to the operator for questions.

Q&A Session

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first query comes from the road of Gary Ho with Desjardins Capital Markets.

Gary Ho: Thanks and good morning. Maybe simply to begin off on the subject of this Inflation Reduction Act profit. Just questioning how sustainable this quantity is searching and simply ideas on any chats or chats with consultants and whatnot by way of type of the brand new Trump administration coming in, whether or not there could possibly be any modifications on this?

Anuj Ranjan: Thanks, Gary. It’s Anuj right here. I’ll begin, after which I’ll let Jaspreet chime in additional as nicely. So Clarios is entitled to those credit underneath laws, which have been just lately finalized in October however are efficient as of January 2023. And the credit are successfully to incentivize home manufacturing and manufacturing within the United States, which incorporates the manufacturing of power storage and batteries. So based mostly on the laws and what the enterprise naturally does in our present manufacturing ranges, we anticipate the annual profit for the enterprise to be related. And that could be a view we’ve taken in, in, after all, session with our advisers.

Gary Ho: Okay. And then Anuj whereas I’ve you, I don’t wish to put you on the spot on Clarios however you retain that with an extra replace quickly remark. Maybe your ideas on how your staff is considering the present IPO surroundings, particularly now with the U.S. election behind us. Is maybe a twin itemizing a consideration for that asset?

Anuj Ranjan: We’re preserving all choices open with Clarios. But as you understand, we’ve had a — we’re course of working for a while. It’s really been fairly strong. And what I can say proper now could be that we’re very inspired by the conversations we’re having with varied events. So we should always have an extra replace, hopefully quickly.

Gary Ho: Okay. Thank you. And then perhaps simply final query on Altera. So it sounds such as you offered the tanker enterprise. Can you give us perhaps some perspective on what this represents as a complete and by way of type of what’s left of Altera, how a lot debt is left? I mainly bear in mind there’s some type of lease construction, unsure if that’s in your proportionate debt quantity. And then by way of the stub, perhaps simply stroll us by type of how we should always take into consideration that?

Jaspreet Dehl: Gary, it’s Jaspreet. I’ll take that. So the shuttle tanker enterprise from an EBITDA perspective is about half of the enterprise. So we’re promoting about half of the enterprise, and we’ll get again about just a little bit lower than half of our invested capital in Altera. And then we’re going to proceed to carry the FPSO enterprise, which is the biggest half of what is going to stay. And in that enterprise, there’s the vessels which we’ve talked about earlier than, the seven vessels, however the Knarr and the Voyageur are two that we talked about earlier than which have long-term contracts. And then along with the FPSO, there’s additionally another non-core belongings inside the enterprise that we hope we will monetize. So I’d say we’re fairly inspired simply by the trade dynamics.

We ran a course of, fairly a strong course of. There is curiosity within the belongings and that culminated to the sale of the shuttle tanker, however we’re persevering with to take a look at alternatives for the stability of the enterprise. In phrases of debt, on the finish of the quarter, internet debt at Altera was just a little bit shy of $600 million at our share, I take into consideration $550 million, $575 million. And the general debt inside the shuttle tanker enterprise is say about half or just a little bit lower than half of that. So we do suppose that with the stability of the enterprise, we may promote that, repay the debt, and it ought to depart some fairness proceeds.

Gary Ho: Okay, nice. No, thanks for answering the decision on that. Those are my questions.

Operator: Thank you. And our subsequent query comes from the road of Devin Dodge with BMO Capital Markets.

Devin Dodge: Thanks. Good morning. Just questioning for those who may speak a bit in regards to the broader surroundings for monetization. Just with rates of interest coming down, it needs to be a greater surroundings for exits, however I used to be simply making an attempt to get a way for a way that is evolving, each by way of the sectors or varieties of belongings the place you’re seeing curiosity, but additionally the varieties of consumers which can be coming ahead.

Jaspreet Dehl: Sure. Devin, I can begin, after which I’ll let Anuj remark. So I’d say by way of type of the general monetization surroundings, like issues are wanting fairly constructive, I’d say simply usually. The M&A surroundings appears to be much more strong. The credit score markets have been open for some time, however many of the credit score market exercise we’ve seen this 12 months has been type of refinancings and repricings. The M&A market has been mild nevertheless it does really feel like there’s much more exercise. And we will see that broadly available in the market, but additionally in our personal pipeline, much more of our offers appear extra actionable and are transferring ahead faster, I’d say, than we’ve seen over the past 12 to 18 months. The IPO markets appear type of just a little bit extra steady as nicely.

We’ve seen quite a lot of IPOs available in the market. I’d say with the U.S. election behind us and the speed reduce that we noticed on Thursday, it units up the market fairly nicely for extra M&A exercise and particularly monetization. So we’re fairly inspired. The Altera course of, that was the second a part of your query round the place we’re seeing curiosity. Like I stated, the IPO markets are — appear to be coming again and appear to be strong. Rates appear to be taking place, which will likely be constructive. The Altera sale, the shuttle tanker companies for — to a strategic, and we’ve talked about this earlier than, that’s our most popular type of exit although we’ve acquired the aptitude to monetize in varied methods. So it does really feel like on all fronts, the monetization and the overall M&A market is beginning to come again fairly sturdy.

Devin Dodge: Okay. Good coloration. And then second query, Scientific Games, Jaspreet, I feel you talked about this a bit in your open feedback. But simply questioning for those who may present a bit extra coloration on the headwinds that you just noticed within the quarter, like for those who anticipate these to persist? And there was point out of some industrial wins there. Just questioning for those who’re capable of scale the potential upside for us.

Adrian Letts: So I’ll begin. It’s Adrian talking. So look, by way of U.S. retail gross sales, there have been some softness. Some of that was to do with the significantly elevated ranges that we noticed final 12 months by way of jackpot sizes, which we predict encourages shopping for on the retail shops. In phrases of the wins, you’re completely proper. There was two. There’s a brand new iLottery contract in Delaware after which there’s a methods and know-how contract in Ohio. But I’ll hand over to Jaspreet by way of the worth that we anticipate from that.

Jaspreet Dehl: Yes. Maybe the one factor I’d add — a few factors I’d add is there was softness within the quarter, however the staff is doing a very good job on type of operational enhancements, managing prices. So they’re executing on that. And on an annualized foundation, we haven’t seen the complete advantage of that. So we do suppose that the enterprise is kind of nicely arrange there. Also on the highest line, we’ve talked about this earlier than. Over the final 12 months, they’ve gained quite a lot of contracts. But it does take time to onboard the brand new contracts if you win one. And so it takes just a little little bit of time to onboard and get the income flowing. So we gained the U.Ok. lottery contract final 12 months. We’re not seeing the complete advantage of that in our revenues but, the Ohio and Delaware contracts in addition to quite a lot of others that the enterprise has gained.

I feel they’re going to begin — a few of them will begin producing income and money flows for us subsequent 12 months, and a few of them would be the 12 months after. But I’d say for those who step again, we’re seeing sturdy development within the enterprise by the brand new industrial wins and thru the associated fee optimization initiatives. So on a run price foundation, we predict this enterprise remains to be going to generate type of sturdy EBITDA and money flows type of according to the underwriting once we purchased the enterprise.

Devin Dodge: Okay, thanks for that good abstract. I’ll flip it over. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our subsequent query comes from the road of Robert Kwan with RBC Capital Markets.

Robert Kwan: Great. Good morning. If I can simply — again on the Brookfield Asset Management name, there was an outline round simply this transaction surroundings being a robust marketplace for each shopping for belongings and promoting belongings. Although a few of these feedback appear to be just a little bit extra skewed to a steady companies. So are you able to simply discuss although the way you’re seeing like your commentary particular to BBU’s technique and the companies you personal?

Anuj Ranjan: Why don’t I begin and simply taking over from what Jaspreet simply stated, I’d say the market surroundings is kind of enabling proper now for transaction exercise. And it’s round steady companies, which is similar to what we purchase and what we personal in BBU. So companies that generate sustainable recurring money circulate and have an excellent development profile in entrance of them. Obviously, financing is obtainable, which helps dramatically. And as charges come off, we should always see transaction exercise proceed to tick up. But the opposite factor that we’ve observed is within the 10 companies we’ve offered over the past 18-months, strategic bid what Jaspreet referenced is totally, which is true is again. And strategics are shopping for good companies that, once more, generate money circulate that they wish to personal.

And in a lot of our gross sales processes, whether or not it’s Altera, whether or not it’s Greenergy, together with among the ones that we now have going proper now, we now have seen vital strategic curiosity. And that’s been very encouraging for the companies we personal. At the identical time, the expansion alternatives are additionally fairly thrilling. And I’d say that there’s — we, as a Brookfield, as a broader Brookfield after which the non-public fairness group have been investments and making acquisitions and for BBU, once more, based mostly on our capital priorities, we’ll at all times have a balanced strategy, and we’ll presumably take a look at new investments as nicely.

Robert Kwan: That’s nice. I suppose simply on the brand new funding facet of issues, you famous the elevated involvement from strategics. And then if you pair that together with your commentary that your most up-to-date investments have usually been larger high quality than those you’ve been promoting, does that then change within the cycle? Do you suppose there could also be higher alternatives for belongings or companies that want just a bit bit extra work? Or would you anticipate to proceed to focus on the upper high quality companies?

Anuj Ranjan: So we’ve at all times — it’s an awesome query. Look, we’ve at all times prioritized higher-quality companies or companies with the potential to be very prime quality. But the place there’s a worth creation element that we will ship, that’s normally type of fairly distinctive to us or whether or not there’s a state of affairs across the enterprise that causes some complexity for why we predict we will purchase for worth. Network was an awesome instance of that being listed in London however proudly owning a number one Middle Eastern funds supplier, it simply wasn’t getting the best worth remedy for the standard of enterprise it was. And the truth that we personal the quantity two participant that Adrian talked about, Magnati, gave us an enormous worth creation potential that nobody else had. So it’s not that we’re not shopping for very high-quality companies. We’re simply shopping for them the place they’re undeservingly unloved and we’re capable of do one thing with the enterprise that in all probability no one else can.

Robert Kwan: Okay that’s nice, recognize the colour, thanks.

Operator: Thank you. And our subsequent query comes from the road of Dimitry with Veritas.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Yes. Hi. And thanks lots for taking my query. So on highway gas operation, are you able to please remind us how a lot EBITDA within the EFO did it contribute on a quarterly foundation?

Jaspreet Dehl: Dimitry, we don’t escape the EBITDA within the EFO guide [Technical Difficulty] individually. But it’s not — it hasn’t been a significant EBITDA contribution from our Business Services section.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. And then on the $350 million of proceeds from distributions and introduced monetization, I ponder for those who can break it down by elements, so distribution versus the monetizations?

Jaspreet Dehl: Sure. I can perhaps touch upon among the bigger items of it. So the biggest piece is the money that can are available in from the sale of Altera, in order that’s about $265 million. It consists of the proceeds from the sale of Greenergy that we acquired, in addition to ongoing distributions from a few of our companies, the biggest of which is Sagen.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: And so now on this distributions from Sagen, they don’t seem to be included in EFO. Are they?

Jaspreet Dehl: In EFO, it consists of type of EBITDA much less the money curiosity and money taxes. So it’s a proxy for, let’s say, free money circulate within the enterprise, and there’s not plenty of upkeep CapEx at Sagen. But I’d say it’s not a direct correlation, nevertheless it’s an excellent proxy. I’d say on full cycle run price foundation, Sagen ought to generate CAD500 million to CAD600 million of free money circulate, and we personal 41% in BBU.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Right. Yes. So I’m simply making an attempt to grasp the distinction between distributions from Sagen, which I feel, as you alluded, they’re if you’ll, not a part of the EFO since you simply decide up your share of EFO from Sagen if you report outcomes, however then, for instance, there was up-financing at [One Toronto] (ph) and that was included in EFO. So I’m simply making an attempt to grasp the distinction.

Jaspreet Dehl: So the EFO of Sagen is a proxy for a way a lot money the enterprise is producing. So we’re — like that’s the money era within the enterprise and the enterprise does type of a dividend distribution from that money. So versus One Toronto, which was a dividend recap, and in that occasion, the dividend revenue that got here into us, we recorded One Toronto as an equity-accounted funding. I’m joyful to undergo the numbers intimately with you off-line if that’s…

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Awesome. Yes. Okay. Perfect. That will likely be nice. And then sorry, I simply didn’t catch in your remarks associated to $350 million in proceeds within the distributions. You talked about $165 million. What was that associated to?

Jaspreet Dehl: That quantity is type of our whole forecasted. It consists of the forecasted distribution. So $265 million of that’s Altera proceeds that we’re going to get in. And then it consists of the Greenergy after which different distributions, Sagen…

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Right. Okay. Awesome. And then on Altera, the sale of the shuttle tanker section. So the — as you precisely identified $265 million of proceeds, is that proceeds to fairness internet of any debt repayments or these are your gross share of proceeds?

Jaspreet Dehl: It’s internet. It’s the web money that can come as much as BBU on fairness.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. Understood. And based mostly in your earlier feedback on the query that was requested earlier, I feel you prompt that roughly half of the $800 million value of fairness at your share, invested in Altera, that pertains to the shuttle tanker enterprise. Did I catch it right? Or there was nuances there?

Jaspreet Dehl: So it’s just a little bit lower than half that we are going to understand as soon as the shuttle tanker proceeds are in. So there’s — we’ve gotten some curiosity revenue from the enterprise alongside the way in which. Just curiosity money distributions on a few of our funding in Altera and then you definately add to that the $265 million that can are available in from the shuttle tanker. And it is going to give us again just a little bit lower than half of the capital.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay. Because if I examine the $265 million in internet fairness proceeds versus the $400 million funding — invested, that will indicate basically a loss, financial loss on the disposition.

Jaspreet Dehl: So I’m unsure — are you able to say that once more?

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Yes. So for those who invested $400 million in fairness basically, give or take, within the shuttle enterprise and examine that to proceeds of $265 million you acquired on sale, then wouldn’t that indicate an financial loss on sale?

Jaspreet Dehl: So it’s not — I don’t suppose you may take type of the $800 million that we invested in Altera and simply divide it by two as a result of the overall funding in Altera was for the entire enterprise. The approach we’re it’s our whole capital within the enterprise is about $800 million. At this level, with the $265 million of proceeds we’ll get from the shuttle tanker enterprise, the curiosity money that we’ve gotten alongside the way in which on our holdings will give us again just a little bit lower than half of that $800 million. And then we’ll proceed to carry about half — the enterprise that’s producing about half of the EBITDA, which is the FPSO and the FSO, in addition to an lodging unit. So there’s nonetheless fairly a little bit of unrealized worth within the enterprise that we’re going to work to unlock.

Dimitry Khmelnitsky: Okay, superior. And then on the CDK, did you present any reductions versus the prior contracted value to the 2 North American publicly traded dealerships that you just renewed the contracts with?

Jaspreet Dehl: So look, we’re having reside negotiations with all of our clients on contracts, and there’s at all times some give and take. We can’t particularly converse to anyone contractor or what particular reductions we’d have given to 1 explicit — to explicit clients. But I’d say, usually, the contracts that we’ve been signing have been type of at cheap margins that we might anticipate the enterprise to type of generate on new contracts.

Operator: Thank you. And I’m displaying no additional questions. So with that, I’ll hand the decision again over to CEO, Anuj Ranjan, for closing remarks.

Anuj Ranjan: Thank you, everybody, and I stay up for seeing you on the subsequent quarter.

Operator: Ladies and gents, thanks for taking part. This concludes right this moment’s program, and you could now disconnect.
