HGS Introduces AML Investigations with Explainable AI HGS announced the launch of AMLens, a next-generation, AI-powered solution designed to transform and accelerate Anti-Money Laundering (AML) operations for financial institutions to deliver realized AI. AMLens integrates machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to reduce case analysis time and false positives, enabling banks to meet stringent regulatory standards while boosting investigator productivity. By treating AI as an ever-evolving practice rather than a static system, AMLens directly addresses the pervasive industry issues of manual case resolution, alert fatigue, and regulatory alignment gaps. The solution supports AML teams across detection, triage, contextualization, and summarization by providing a modular, explainable AI ecosystem. It automates the collection and consolidation of fragmented data - from structured transaction logs to unstructured notes and external sources, like Google, LexisNexis, and other public records - into a single, analyst-friendly format. AMLens is built on a modular, API-first design for integration with existing client systems and is available to target market segments including Retail & Consumer Banking, Payments & Fintech, Credit Card & Lending, and Wealth Management. The AMLens solution has demonstrated significant performance improvements, validated in early client deployments, providing outcome-based results for financial crime fighters. Specifically, it has resulted in a 75% reduction in case analysis time, reducing the time from approximately two hours to around 30 minutes. The false positive rate decreased by more than 60%, dropping from about 18% to 7%. This improved accuracy contributes to a 3x increase in investigator productivity, escalating.PRESS RELEASE. from eight cases per day to 24 cases per day. Overall turnaround time is 75% faster, moving from 48 hours to 12 hours. A key feature of AML is its ability to seamlessly combine AI-powered narrative generation with crucial human oversight. For example, when a third-party detection system flags an account for rapid international wire transfers, the AMLens three-tiered pipeline kicks in: Early detection & risk categorization: AMLens ingests the alert and applies its ability to be in a more accurate process.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 419% Dividend yield: 0.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 0.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (419% cash payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.9% net profit margin). New Risk • Jun 04
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.4% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 0.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.6% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Jun 04

Hinduja Global Solutions Introduces HGS Axle’ Smartbot Solution Improves Customer Experience for Roadside Incidents Hinduja Global Solutions announced the introduction of HGS Axle, a custom-built human-centric automated dispatch assistant that helps Emergency Roadside Service (ERS) teams by triaging and capturing information while alleviating stress for stranded drivers. Developed to create an easy-to-navigate, 24/7/365 self-service emergency roadside assistance experience, HGS Axle reduces the amount of time and effort a driver must take to solve frustrating vehicle breakdown situations. When a stranded driver contacts an ERS company via a phone call, SMS, or mobile messaging, HGS Axle’s intelligent platform finds the nearest tow truck, dealership, and/or mechanic, creating a digital dispatch which automatically saves customers much needed time and effort in a stressful situation. Via GPS, all parties can monitor Axle to view the status of the tow truck or other next steps in real time. The Axle bot works by tapping into the knowledgebase and using machine learning algorithms such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep neural networks to understand the context of the customer’s problem. Then, back-end activities are automatically triggered, such as a dispatch to begin transactional processing. Axle allows for faster roadside assistance dispatch, real-time tracking, and mobile notifications for drivers in distress. Particularly in situations involving adverse weather, instead of leaving customers stranded waiting for the next available agent, Axle’s tech-led solution provides rapid end-to-end service that can easily be scaled up or down, offering much-needed flexibility and capacity for roadside assistance during critical times of need. To date, HGS Axle has aided nearly 35,000 drivers seeking emergency roadside assistance. Through Axle’s automated self-service capabilities, the manual process that previously took customer care agents 10–15+ minutes to assist stranded drivers, now helps them find roadside assistance in as little as 2-3 minutes and increase agent capacity by 24%. Instead of giving an agent information over a call, drivers enter data on their phones via an integrated visual intelligent virtual agent (IVA). Through a series of workflows, drivers proceed through the step-by-step process, answering questions to ensure the right solutions are selected to acquire roadside assistance. If necessary, integrated geolocation services also help locate the driver and find the closest tow destinations. HGS Axle optimizes costs and long-term savings through reduced overall agent effort and call volume. Not only do faster response times get stranded drivers back on the road more quickly, but the fleet owner benefits from decreased downtime, systems integration, analytics and real-time reporting, as well as flat-rate pricing.
