TVSL reported a strong Q4 with ~4.6% QoQ ASP growth and reported EBITDA margin of 14%, aided by recognition of PLI benefit for the full year; margins excl 9M PLI stood at 12.5% vs 11.9% in Q3 (2.3% ASP growth at ~Rs76,800 without considering 9M PLI).

MOFS continued its steady performance in Q4FY25 amid volatile markets and despite impact of the new F&O regulations, with operating PAT at Rs5.2bn (+4% YoY; -1% QoQ). However, treasury loss of Rs7.43bn resulted in reported consolidated loss (including OCI) of Rs2.2bn.

Go Digit’s Q4FY25 results were a mixed bag. Amid the volatile and difficult external environment in FY25, marked by EoM glidepath, no Motor TP tariff hike, sustained competition in Motor OD, and implementation of 1/n regulations for gross premium accounting, the company found it difficult to replicate its past success of accelerating growth with improving profitability.

L&T Finance (LTF) reported a weaker than estimated set of numbers, with changing asset composition and interest-rate cuts in MFI causing NIM compression (35bps QoQ).

Firstsource (FSOL) reported inline operating performance in Q4 – revenue grew 2.1% QoQ CC; EBITM expanded by 10bps QoQ to 11.2%. Growth was broadbased across verticals, except Diverse industries that saw seasonal weakness.

Poonawalla reported another patchy quarter (Q4) with elevated credit cost (3.03% of AUM) and opex (4.6% of AUM) pushing profitability materially lower (RoA of 0.76%).

MSIL reported ~9% YoY/5% QoQ lower EBITDA on Kharkhoda plant costs, higher advertising, and lumpy other expenses; margins declined by 113bps QoQ to 10.5%, with underlying margins adjusted for lumpy expenses at ~11.4% (~5% miss vs Consensus).

RBL continued with its clean-up drive in Q4 as it fully provides for the MFI NPA portfolio leading to historically lower NNPA at 0.3%. However, the bank utilized its contingent provision buffer of Rs2.7bn which along with nearly flat margins and strong card fees helped manage profitability, albeit negligible at Rs0.7bn.

SHFL’s Q4FY25 results were mixed – credit cost was elevated causing a PBT miss, which was offset by lower tax rate that led to in-line PAT.

DLPL reported a steady Q4, with EBITDA beating street/our estimates by 6% and adj PAT improving 34% on YoY basis. Strong performance in core markets (Delhi NCR), buoyed by network expansion, offset the persistent muted performance of Suburban (mid-single digit revenue growth).
