At Muthoot Microfin, we chose to prioritise asset quality and customer engagement over short-term profitability. While this conservative approach impacted our profitability due to elevated provisions and a deliberate management overlay of Rs 230 crore, but these were essential steps to strengthen our long-term portfolio health. As part of this effort, we have further tightened our underwriting norms and aligned fresh disbursements with the new SRO guardrails implemented from April 1, 2025. This has led to higher rejection rates, reduced borrower over-leverage, and early signs of improving credit discipline. Importantly, we continued to invest in people and impact. We onboarded 834 female Relationship Oficers / Loan Oficers in FY25, reinforcing our commitment in building a more representative and empathetic workforce. Our social impact efforts also expanded meaningfully. We facilitated 10.2 lakh e-clinic consultations and 3.7 lakh tele-consultations till date, improving healthcare access in underserved areas. Additionally, we honoured 90,639 natural catastrophe insurance claims during FY25, disbursing over Rs 18.3 crore to support customers during difficult times. With AUM reaching Rs 12,357 crore as of March 2025, we continue to grow with discipline and caution. As we look ahead to FY26, we remain cautiously optimistic, guided by our belief that sustainable growth comes from strong fundamentals.” Sadaf Sayeed, CEO, Muthoot Microfin, said, “FY25 was undeniably a challenging year for the microfinance industry, with external disruptions and regional stress pockets, especially in Karnataka. In response, we adopted a prudent and measured approach focusing on enhancing operational efficiency and preserving liquidity. With a conscious decision to moderate disbursements for the fiscal year, our emphasis remained on conserving Tier-1 capital, maintaining strong liquidity bufers, resolving asset quality challenges, and steadily improving collection efficiency. For FY25, Net Interest Income stood at Rs 1,551 crore, growing 14.3% YoY, with PPOP at 868 Crore growing 15.0% YoY. We proactively strengthened provisioning bufers to safeguard long-term portfolio quality, helping contain stress in SMA buckets and limit forward flows. While this conservative approach led to a net loss of Rs 222 crore, it has laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth. We continue to maintain strong liquidity of Rs 697 crore and a healthy capital adequacy ratio of 27.9%, giving us financial flexibility to manage near-term challenges and support future expansion. Beyond financials, we continued to invest in digital empowerment. Over 1.5 crore transactions worth Rs 2,297 crore were conducted digitally by our customers for repayments.
