Bajaj Finance delivered an excellent Q1 FY24 with PAT of INR 3,437 crore (up 32% YoY) and AUM growth of 32% to INR 2.7 lakh crore, the highest ever quarterly addition of INR 22,718 crore. The company booked 9.94 million loans and added 3.84 million new customers, with customer franchise reaching 73 million. Asset quality remained pristine with GNPA at 87 bps and NNPA at 31 bps. Management raised long-term ROE guidance to 21-23% from 19-21%. Key driver was strong demand across segments, especially B2B and consumer durables. Guidance: AUM growth of 29-31% for FY24, credit cost of 155-165 bps, and NIM compression of 10-15 bps in Q2 and Q3. Risk: rising consumer leverage in the system, particularly in personal loans, which management is proactively monitoring and tightening filters on rural B2C.
