Quarter read
What the record says.
Bajaj Finserv delivered a strong Q2 FY24 with consolidated revenue up 25% YoY to INR 26,023 crore and PAT up 24% YoY to INR 1,929 crore. Growth was driven by robust performance across subsidiaries: BAGIC reported a 95.3% combined ratio (lowest in 14 quarters) and 39% PAT growth, while BALIC saw NBV growth of 25% to INR 237 crore. BFL continued its momentum with 33% AUM growth and asset quality improvement. The AMC business launched with INR 5,235 crore AUM. Management guided for continued balanced growth, with BAGIC targeting sub-100% combined ratio despite near-term investment costs. Key risk: elevated claims volatility in government health and crop insurance segments could pressure underwriting profitability.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Due to investments in manpower and rural expansion, combined ratio may temporarily exceed 100% before normalizing.
- Management expects NBV growth to sustain as par product mix improves and new bank partnerships contribute.
- BFL continues to deliver on AUM growth, profitability, and asset quality targets as per its stated guidance.
Risks flagged
- The Gujarat government health scheme may have higher loss ratios due to backlog claims, though 80% is reinsured.
- BAGIC's expense ratio may rise as investments in manpower and rural branches continue, impacting near-term profitability.
- Analyst raised concern about sustainability of crop and government health business given competitive pricing and tender-based nature.
- Higher share of lower-margin products (ULIP, non-par) and investments in new channels may keep VNB margins below prior year levels.
Key quotes
- We have never done business in a desperate manner. We have always done business the way business should be done.
- Our purpose is to create platform to carry out health transactions for customers. It's not about acquiring customers, it's all about enabling transactions digitally.
- In insurance, you always do business on expectation of profit. If I definitely know that I'm going to lose money, I'll never do that business.
