EbixCash Limited IPO Risk Factors:

• EbixCash Limited has and will continue to introduce new products and services, and has limited experience in offering these new products and services, and it cannot assure that such services and products will be profitable now or in the future. Further, the company may not be able to successfully diversify the product and services portfolio or enter into new lines of business, which may adversely affect the business prospects and future financial performance. The company may not be able to develop new products or services necessary to effectively respond to rapid technological changes.

• The industries EbixCash Limited operates in are very competitive and its growth strategy depends on its ability to compete effectively. The company operates in a price-sensitive market and it is subject to pressures from customers to decrease the fees for the services and solutions that the company provides. Any reduction in price would likely reduce the margins and could adversely affect the operating results of the company.

• Acquisitions may disrupt EbixCash Limited’s ongoing business, divert its resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of the current business. In addition, the company may be required to make additional capital investments or undertake remediation efforts to ensure the success of the acquisitions, which may reduce the benefits of such acquisitions. The company also may be required to use a substantial amount of the cash or issue debt or equity securities to complete an acquisition or realize the potential of an alliance, which could deplete the cash reserves and/or dilute the existing stockholders. If any of these risks were to play out, it could have a material adverse impact on the results of the operations and financial conditions of the company.
