Quarter read
What the record says.
Bajaj Finserv reported a mixed Q3 FY25. Consolidated revenue grew 10% YoY to INR 32,042 crore, while PAT rose 3% to INR 2,231 crore. Excluding unrealized MTM, core PAT grew 23%. BAGIC delivered strong performance with 39% PAT growth and a combined ratio of 101.1%, though top-line growth was distorted by regulatory changes. BALIC saw muted individual-rated new business growth due to product mix recalibration and new surrender regulations, but retail protection surged 96% YoY. Bajaj Finance posted a healthy quarter with 26% net income growth and ROE of 19.08%. Management emphasized a shift toward profitable growth, particularly in life insurance, with VNB growth prioritized over top-line. Key risks include prolonged disruption from surrender regulation adjustments and competitive pressure in health insurance. The Allianz JV exit discussions remain preliminary.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects VNB to grow faster than top-line due to product structure changes and focus on profitability.
- Continued focus on profitable growth with combined ratio superior to industry average.
- Management committed to bringing down loan losses in the coming year.
Risks flagged
- New surrender value guidelines have impacted product mix and distribution, with agency channel taking longer to adjust.
- IRDAI capping senior citizen premium hikes and EOM limits may pressure margins, though Bajaj is well-positioned.
- Allianz's intention to exit the JV is at preliminary stage; no details provided, creating strategic uncertainty.
Key quotes
- We believe in the long run, the life business is all about balance. Balance across distribution between channels, balance across products in terms of risk between par, non-par savings, term, and ULIP, and balance between profitability and growth.
- A good company is like a good orchestra. The right kind of instruments should be playing at the right time for good music to come.
- We've gone ahead and changed practically all our products, including ULIP, PAR, and non-PAR. ... This is a significant overhaul.
