From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Asset Quality Deterioration Trend | Analysts pressed on the steady rise in Stage 2 and Stage 3 assets since listing. Management attributed stress primarily to the self-employed, lower-ticket size cohort (up to Rs 7 lakhs), citing seasonal impacts and past resilience, and expressed confidence in maintaining 40-50 bps credit cost. |
| Disbursement Growth & Accounting Impact | Analysts questioned the lower reported disbursement growth (18% YoY) versus peers. Management clarified the one-time impact of shifting to check realization accounting, stated July disbursement was Rs 400 Cr, and reiterated 20%+ disbursement growth and 25-30% AUM growth guidance for FY27. |
| Collection Efficiency & GNPA Outlook | Analysts noted collection efficiency dropped to ~97% and asked for the path forward. Management said April was ~96.2-96.4%, efficiency improved into June, expects Stage 3 to remain around 1.5% in Q2, with resolutions starting from Q3. |
| Branch Additions & Employee Hiring | Asked why 160+ employees were added with no new branches in Q1, management said hires were for collections, existing branch support, and head office initiatives (AI/tech), with 40-45 new branches planned for later in the year. |
| Semi-Variable Loan Reset | Management clarified that the first reset for semi-variable loans will occur in Q4FY27, but the loan rate will remain the same with only the spread being adjusted, so no immediate P&L impact is expected. |
Guidance
- Branch addition of around 40-45 for the year.
- Maintain spreads of more than 6% in the medium term.
- Credit Cost of around 40-50bps.
- Loan growth of around 25-30% for FY27.
