Commenting on the performance:

Mr. Thomas Muthoot, Managing Director of Muthoot Microfin, said-

"Amid recent industry challenges, Muthoot Microfin delivered a solid performance this quarter, achieving a 15.2% year-on-year increase in our Gross Loan Portfolio, now at ₹12,518 crore. We also added 31 new branches during this period. Our disciplined lending practices, backed by robust underwriting standards and prudent NATCAT policies, have driven sustainable portfolio growth while preserving asset quality. This quarter, we maintained a GNPA of 2.70% and NNPA of 0.97%, underscoring the strength of our portfolio.

As we look ahead, we are prepared to accelerate our growth trajectory in this evolving industry landscape. With the implementation of SRO guardrails, we are committed to upholding high standards that will further strengthen stakeholder confidence and enhance the industry’s reputation.”

Mr. Sadaf Sayeed, CEO, Muthoot Microfin, said-

“The company has cautiously inched up disbursements to Rs. 2,674 crore in the September quarter, up from ₹2,204 crore in the previous quarter and returning to similar levels as last year. We expect growth to reaccelerate in coming quarters with usual seasonal upswing coupled with our focus on harnessing existing customers and strengthening our core geographies.

Our asset quality remains stronger-than-peers led by our core mature southern markets and our robust underwriting and collection practices. During Q2, we have gone a step further and adopted a stance of being far more conservative providing additional Macro enabled overlay of 31.2 crore given bulging industry concerns. This increase in provisioning has resulted in creating Rs.153cr surplus to IRAC prudential norms.

Our willingness to invest against profitability has negatively impacted our ROA during the quarter which has gone down to 2.00%. We continue to underpin our ambition of industry leading returns and recalibrate our FY25 ROA guidance to 2.75%-3.25% acknowledging the uncertainty prevailing within the industry while maintaining a continuous focus on balancing growth, profitability, and liquidity.”
