Arman Financial reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated PAT of ₹41 crore, up 220% YoY, driven by improved collections and lower credit costs. AUM crossed a record ₹2,728 crore (+22% YoY), with microfinance AUM at ₹1,999 crore (+19% YoY). Disbursements hit a record ₹951 crore in Q4, reflecting strong momentum. Asset quality improved with GNPA at 3.4% and NNPA at 0.95%. Management highlighted structural changes—separating credit/recovery functions and shifting to individual-level underwriting—which have improved portfolio quality but raised operating costs (cost-to-assets ~9%). They target reducing opex to ~7% in FY27. Guidance is cautiously optimistic: they expect ROA of 3.5-4%+ and credit costs around 3%. Key risks include global uncertainty, elevated rejection rates, and potential margin compression from rising borrowing costs.
अरमान फाइनेंशियल ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की चौथी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का कुल मुनाफा (PAT) ₹41 करोड़ रहा, जो पिछले साल से 220% ज्यादा है। यह बेहतर वसूली और कम कर्ज लागत की वजह से हुआ। कंपनी की कुल संपत्ति (AUM) ₹2,728 करोड़ पार कर गई, जो 22% बढ़ी। माइक्रोफाइनेंस AUM ₹1,999 करोड़ (+19%) रहा। तिमाही में ₹951 करोड़ का रिकॉर्ड कर्ज बांटा गया। कर्ज की गुणवत्ता में सुधार हुआ - खराब कर्ज (GNPA) 3.4% और शुद्ध खराब कर्ज (NNPA) 0.95% रहा। प्रबंधन ने कर्ज देने और वसूली को अलग करने जैसे बदलाव किए हैं, जिससे पोर्टफोलियो बेहतर हुआ लेकिन खर्च बढ़ा (लागत-से-संपत्ति ~9%)। वे अगले साल खर्च घटाकर 7% करना चाहते हैं। आगे सावधानी से उम्मीद है - संपत्ति पर रिटर्न (ROA) 3.5-4% और कर्ज लागत 3% रह सकती है। जोखिमों में वैश्विक अनिश्चितता, ऊंची रिजेक्शन दर और बढ़ती उधारी लागत शामिल हैं।
