Aditya Birla Capital reported a mixed Q3 FY25 with consolidated PAT declining 3% YoY to INR 708 crore, while revenue grew 10% to INR 10,949 crore. The NBFC business saw calibrated growth, shifting towards secured loans (74% of portfolio) amid macro headwinds, with credit cost at 1.36%. Housing finance continued strong momentum, with AUM surging 62% YoY to INR 26,714 crore and disbursements hitting a record. Life insurance VNB margin expanded to 10.8% in 9M FY25, with management guiding for 17-18% by year-end. Health insurance GWP grew 39% in 9M FY25, with combined ratio improving to 114%. Key risks include margin compression from product mix shift in NBFC and potential impact of surrender value regulations on life insurance margins. Management remains cautiously optimistic, focusing on quality growth and digital initiatives.
आदित्य बिड़ला कैपिटल की तीसरी तिमाही (Q3 FY25) में मिला-जुला प्रदर्शन रहा। कंपनी का कुल मुनाफा (PAT) पिछले साल की तुलना में 3% घटकर 708 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जबकि आय (Revenue) 10% बढ़कर 10,949 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। NBFC (गैर-बैंकिंग वित्त कंपनी) ने सावधानी से कर्ज बढ़ाया और अब 74% कर्ज सुरक्षित (जैसे घर या गाड़ी पर) है। बुरे कर्ज की लागत 1.36% रही। हाउसिंग फाइनेंस का प्रदर्शन शानदार रहा - कुल कर्ज (AUM) 62% बढ़कर 26,714 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। जीवन बीमा (Life Insurance) का मुनाफा मार्जिन 10.8% रहा, और साल के अंत तक 17-18% तक पहुंचने का अनुमान है। स्वास्थ्य बीमा का प्रीमियम 39% बढ़ा। चुनौतियों में NBFC में कर्ज के मिश्रण से मार्जिन कम होना और जीवन बीमा पर नियमों का असर शामिल है। कंपनी गुणवत्ता वृद्धि पर ध्यान दे रही है।
