Commenting on the performance, Mr. HP Singh, Chairman & Managing Director of Satin Creditcare Network Limited, said

“In line with our motto of Adopting the RIGHT strategies at the RIGHT time, during the quarter we have emphasised more on our collections rather than chasing the growth. Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic second wave, the collection efficiency suffered initially; however, through our efforts of continuous customer engagement, relaxation of the lockdown restrictions, rollout of mass vaccination drives, and improved employment situation, the collection efficiency significantly improved from ~82% in Q1FY22 to ~96% in Q3FY22.

Our disbursements for Q3FY22 stood at Rs. 1,348 crores as compared to Rs. 1,822 crores in Q3FY21 and Rs. 1,315 crores Q2FY22. Our 9MFY22 disbursements stood at Rs. 2,942 crores. Our Consolidated AUM stood at Rs.7,218 crores as on December 31, 2021. Considering the current pandemic scare and detection of new Omicron variant, the Company has adopted a well-calibrated and cautious approach in disbursing new loans due to which AUM de-grew by 8.4% Y-o-Y.

We have maintained consistent portfolio quality by tightening our credit assessment criteria post the advent of COVID-19 and are diligently working towards enhancing the same. Our on-book Gross Non-Performing Assets for the quarter stood at 8.6%, while we have made adequate provisioning of 8.1% as of 31st December 2021 of on-book portfolio.

Additionally, we have achieved two major milestones of completing the Rights issue of INR 120 crores and raising INR 225 crores by way of preferential issue of shares and fully convertible warrants from marquee investors and promoter entities. These milestones reaffirm the faith that our stakeholders have in our Company to deliver outlined strategy, achieve steady financials, and deliver profitable growth over the long term.

We believe, our conviction, passionate workforce, experienced Board, and strong balance sheet position will help us achieve sustained growth across our value chain and ensure the overall development of all our stakeholders. Going forward, with a broad-based pick up across the economy’s various sectors, we anticipate improved disbursement, collections, and steady AUM growth, quarter-on-quarter,” stated in the press release.
