The Board of Directors of CRISIL Ltd, at its meeting today, approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

CRISIL's consolidated income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, rose 28.6% to Rs 597.2 crore, compared with Rs 464.3 crore in the corresponding quarter of 2019. Consolidated total income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, was up 26.4% to Rs 612.2 crore, compared with Rs 484.3 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The appreciating rupee had an impact on the quarter. Profit after tax for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, was Rs 110.0 crore, compared with Rs 95.3 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Results for the quarter includes Greenwich Associates LLC (Greenwich) acquired in 01 2020. Excluding Greenwich, consolidated income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, was higher by 2.6% and profit after tax higher by 16.2% compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, consolidated income from operations was up 14.4% to Rs 1,981.8 crore, compared with Rs 1,731.7 crore in the corresponding period of 2019. Consolidated total income increased 14.4% to Rs 2,076.3 crore, compared with Rs 1,814.5 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. Consolidated profit after tax was Rs 354. 7 crore, compared with Rs 344.0 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. Consolidated income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, was higher by 1.4% and profit after tax up by 17.8% compared with the previous year, excluding the financials of Greenwich.

During 2020, the company paid three interim dividends totaling Rs 19 per equity share of face value of Re 1 each. The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 14 per share (of Re 1 face value). The total dividend for the year works out to Rs 33 per share.

Says Ashu Suyash, Managing Director & CEO, CRISIL, "Through a year like none other, CRISIL's businesses demonstrated resilience serving all its clientele with best in class insights, opinions and analytics. This coupled with our proactive pandemic response has enabled continued growth through 2020. The differentiated positioning and high quality of our offerings, global client delivery capabilities and strong client relationships will enable our businesses benefit from the expected economic recovery across the markets we operate. Our thrust on investments in technology, talent and new offerings over the years positions CRISIL well for the future."

During the year, corporate bond market issuances rose by 7.9% by value year .. on-year, while by volume they fell 8.1 %. In this environment, our differentiated positioning and quality of ratings enabled significant client wins. Constrained credit growth impacted the mid-corporate group, which offset growth in the Ratings segment. Global Analytical Center (GAC) increased surveillance delegation and coverage on research

and criteria support, and partnered S&P Global Ratings for ESG products. The Ratings segment registered healthy growth of 6.5% in 04 and 3. 7% for the whole 2020.

CRISIL also completed the segregation of its credit ratings business into a wholly owned subsidiary, CRISIL Ratings Ltd, during 04. This is pursuant to changes in the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations, which required segregation of the ratings and non-ratings businesses of credit rating agencies. The segregation also follows the scheme of arrangement approved by the National Company Law Tribunal, and has no impact on the company's businesses and its stakeholders.

In the Research segment, the Global Research & Analytics business saw client wins and continued to grow through 04. In addition to traditional areas such as model and traded risk, the business witnessed traction in non-financial and credit risk. India Research introduced new analytics (www.crisil.com/covid19 insights) and district-level risk tracking dashboards to aid decision making as the pandemic unfolded. The business also launched India's first AIF benchmarks. Greenwich saw good performance and was a key contributor to the segment's growth. But weak performance of Coalition, which saw headwinds due to cost pressures faced by global banks, offset this. The segment's year-on-year revenue growth was 40.9% in 04 and 22.8% for 2020. Excluding Greenwich, revenue was lower by 1.0% in 04 and higher by 1.2% for 2020.

The Advisory segment saw good traction during 04. New mandates were won in the areas of regulatory reporting, credit risk and select city infrastructure projects. However, delays in clients' decision making and implementation affected business. Overall, the segment grew a healthy 16.9% during the quarter, although the full year revenue was lower by 5.9%.

Towards ensuring minimal impact on clients and people, the company moved to a mandatory work from home for employees in late March, which continued through 2020 across most locations. This year, CRISIL launched a host of health and safety initiatives, and employee engagement and wellness sessions. Information security, governance and technology support also saw enhanced emphasis. Because of proactive investments in people and technology, all businesses remained fully functional through 2020 and continued to deliver seamlessly to clients and stakeholders. The company has put in place a work from office resumption plan that would be implemented based on location-specific considerations.

The company won recognitions including Great Workplace™ , 100 Best Companies for Women, the Most Ethical Business Group, and the Fair Business Practices Award. It was also recognised at the India Workplace Equality Index Employers 2020 Summit for diversity and inclusion and at the FICCI CSR Excellence Awards 2019 in the category of 'Women Empowerment'.

The year saw greater emphasis on franchise activity and thought-leadership that enabled stakeholders to decrypt volatile trends across markets. Through 2020, over 70 virtual events and roundtables were hosted, over 50 publications and over 25 whitepapers were released. During 04, the fifth edition of our flagship NBFC seminar, and the first edition of India Investment Research Conclave were held, which saw very good response. Ratings Analytica, a personalised portal and mobile application (app) enabling a one-stop platform for the ratings requirements of clients, was also launched.

Apart from continued expansion of Mein Pragati, our financial inclusion program, and CRISIL Re, our environmental conservation initiative, CRISIL Foundation focused on serving the needs of the society arising from the pandemic. It served over 500,000 meals to migrant workers and labourers in Mumbai, as also extended treatment support through contribution for oxygen cylinders and personal protection equipment kits across several locations. More than 40,000 trees were also planted by CRISIL Foundation towards reducing carbon footprint which translates to over 800 MT of CO2 emissions saved annually.

5 The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing rating, research and advisory services. Accordingly, revenues earned through rendering of these services represent the primary basis of segment information set out above. Assets and liabilities used interchangeably between segments has been classified as unallocable. The Group believes that it is currently not practicable to allocale all assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is not feasible. In accordance with Ind AS 108 - 'Operating Segments', the Company has presented segment information along with the consolidated financial results of the Group.
6 In compliance with Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations. 2015, an audit of the above results has been carried out by the Statutory Auditors of the Company.

The figures of the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are the balancing figures between audited figures of the full year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and unaudited published year to date figures up to the period ended September 30. of the respective years.

7 The Group has adopted Ind AS 116 effective January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method and has applied the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognized on the dale of initial application i.e. January 1, 2020. Accordingly, previous period information has not been restated. The lease expenses which were recognized as rent expense in previous periods is now recognized as depreciation expense for the rightof-use asset and finance cost for interest accrued on lease liability. The Group has elected not to recognize right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value and has recognized the lease payments for such leases as an expense over the lease term. The transition has resulted in recognition of Right-of-Use (ROU) assets oft 155.80 crores and� 222.64 crores and Lease Liability of , 151.05 crores and i!' 221.67 crores in standalone and consolidation books respectively. The cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in i!' 6,90 crores and � 11.45 crores being debited to retained earnings (net of taxes) in audited standalone and consolidation financial results respectively.
8 CRISIL completed the acquisition of 100% stake in Greenwich Associates LLC (USA) and its subsidiaries ('GA'), on February 26, 2020, at a total value of USD 40 million, which includes upfront and deferred consideration. The resulls attributable to GA includes a revenue of { 121.01 crores and post-tax loss of� 0.77 crores for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and a revenue of� 225.71 crores and post-tax loss of i!' 50.58 crores for the period from February 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

In order to simplify the holding structure. Greenwich Associates International LLC (subsidiary of Greenwich Associates LLC) was merged with Greenwich Associates LLC w.e.f December 22, 2020 and the Group has decided to close Greenwich Associates UK (Holdings) Lid (subsidiary of Greenwich Associates LLC). The merger/closure will have no material impact on the operations/financials of the Group.

9 The Group has considered internal and external information and has performed sensitivity analyses based on current estimates, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, unbilled revenues. goodwill, intangible assets. other financial assets (including cash liquidity), and the profitability of the Group. Whilst the situation continues to be extremely dynamic, at present the Group does not see any material impact on the above. However, the actual impact of the pandemic on the Group's financial performance may differ from what is estimated, and the Group continues to monitor changes to future economic conditions.

Emphasis of Matter - Demerger of rating business

We draw attention to Note 10 of the accompanying Statement in respect of a Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and CRISIL Ratings Limited (transferee company) and their respective shareholders for demerger of the ratings business of the Company, pursuant to SEBI (Credit Rating Agencies) Regulations, 1999 (as amended from time to time), which mandates the segregation of ratings and non-ratings businesses of Credit Rating Agencies, and vesting thereof in the Transferee Company, with effect from the Appointed Date of 1 January 2020, as approved by the National Company Law Tribunal, vide its order dated 8 June 2020. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

1. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual audited financial statements and has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit/loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
1. In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
1. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.
1. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

CRISIL Limited

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
1. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
1. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Other Matter

The Statement includes the financial results for the quarter ended 31 December 2020, being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subject to limited review by us.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ('SAs') specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('the ICAI'), together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act, and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and that obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 12 of the Other Matter section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

1. The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit or loss after tax and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records, including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors/ management of the companies included in the Group covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group, and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
1. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors/ management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
1. The respective Board of Directors/ management of the companies included in the Group, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, will always detect a material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error, and are considered material if, individually, or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.
1. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

CRISIL Limited

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/ financial information/ financial statements of the entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
1. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
1 0.
