Financial Performance
Operating revenue for the fiscal year reached ₹11,852.49 crore, marking a 42.18% annual growth. The company’s consolidated Net Interest Margin (NIM) improved to 6.5%, while the retail opex-to-AUM ratio declined to 3.6%, demonstrating improved operational efficiency through scale. The quarterly performance was equally robust, with net profit for the final quarter growing 25.18% sequentially to ₹500.94 crore.
These results were supported by a diverse funding base, including recently secured $350 million in DFI funding, which helped maintain a stable debt-to-equity ratio of 2.8x while funding the expansion of the retail portfolio.
Management Outlook
Management expressed high confidence in achieving a target AUM of ₹1.5 lakh crore by FY28. For the upcoming fiscal year, the company has set aggressive targets including approximately 25% AUM growth and 50% profit growth. The leadership aims for an exit Return on Assets (RoAUM) of 2.5% by FY27.
Strategic focus remains on an AI-native approach, with management noting that 59% of the company's code is now written by AI to drive tech-led lending efficiencies. This technological integration is expected to further lower operating costs as the retail segment continues to mature and scale across diverse product lines.
