Reported metrics

Guidance from management

Management expects continued disbursement momentum in FY '27 while maintaining a focus on responsible growth within defined risk parameters. They are targeting a reduction in operating costs and improving asset quality metrics.

What management said

All 3 of them notwithstanding any major global disruptions, which is not just a Microfinance problem or the NBFC problem but largely for the whole economy. So notwithstanding any disruption cost to that. We expect healthy growth in the ROA. I don't want to place an exact figure, to be honest, but definitely 3.5%, 4% plus is sort of easy to expect, all things considered, if our growth projector remains consistent.

So largely, I guess that I think the leverage in the last 2 years have been pretty low. The leverages are likely to move upward as the disbursement and the overall micro finance and unsecured lending picks up, as we've seen in the last 4, 5 months. The leverage should help the overall ROE to move up.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns over elevated rejection rates in underwriting, questioning how this might impact sales team morale and overall growth. There were also inquiries about the potential for NIM compression if borrowing costs rise in FY '27.
