Muthoot Finance has released its Q1 FY25-26 financial results, and the numbers clearly reflect robust growth, improving asset quality, and strong investor confidence. Let’s break down the key highlights and analyze what this means for investors.


Revenue and Profit Surge in Q1 FY25-26

The company reported total income of ₹57,200.02 million, up from ₹48,884.70 million in the previous quarter, marking a 17% sequential growth and a massive 54% YoY jump from ₹37,100.98 million.

  • Profit Before Tax (PBT): ₹27,454.92 million, up 36% QoQ
  • Net Profit (PAT): ₹20,462.99 million, up 90% YoY
  • Earnings per Share (EPS): ₹50.97 vs. ₹37.56 last quarter

This strong performance was driven by higher interest income and lower loan impairment charges, boosting overall profitability.


Expense Control and Margin Improvement

While finance costs increased to ₹21,191.44 million due to higher borrowings, the impairment on financial instruments dropped sharply to ₹432.52 million from ₹1,274.08 million last quarter.

As a result, Net Profit Margin improved significantly to 35.77% vs. 30.84% in the previous quarter, showing that cost efficiency and asset quality gains supported profitability growth.


Key Ratios and Asset Quality Trends

Some major highlights from the Q1 FY25-26 ratio analysis include:

  • Stage III Loan Assets to Gross Loan Assets: Improved to 2.58% from 3.41% in Q4 → Lower NPAs
  • Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): 21.96% vs. 23.71% → Still well above RBI requirements
  • Provision Coverage Ratio: Rose to 18.52% from 17.94%
  • Debt-Equity Ratio: Increased to 3.51 vs. 3.16 → Reflects higher leverage for growth

Overall, asset quality is improving while capital strength remains healthy, giving confidence in the company’s future growth prospects.

  • Promoter Holding: Stable at 73.4%
  • FII Holding: Marginally increased to 16.3% from 16.1%
  • DII Holding: Slight rise to 7.7% from 7.5%

Institutional investors continue to increase their stake, signaling long-term confidence in the company.
