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

“Our primary focus during Q3FY23 was to stabilize our business, have growth and profitability back on track, and achieve guided growth. We are glad to announce that our performance for the quarter has marked significant improvement in financial and operational performance coupled with consistent improvement in asset quality, which helped us achieve our quarterly PAT of Rs. 55 crore, up by 35% on YoY basis.

With this strategy in place, we have been focused on building a strong business model and structure for the disbursements, which has turned out to be very fruitful. Within this quarter, we have observed a good momentum in the disbursement that stood at Rs. 1,725 crore on a standalone basis, up by 59% year on year and 10% quarter on quarter, marking our highest quarterly disbursement in the last seven quarters. Significant pick up in the disbursement led to 11% year on year growth of AUM, which now stands at Rs. 6,798 crore on standalone basis and Rs. 7,945 crore on consolidated basis. This growth is despite the write offs done in 9MFY23. If we had not done write-offs, the YoY growth would have been 20% on a standalone basis.

With respect to Asset Quality, we have maintained consistent portfolio quality by tightening our credit assessment criteria. Our on-book Gross NonPerforming Assets for the quarter stood at 3.92%, down from 8.61% as on Dec’21. Our new portfolio generated from Jul’21 onwards, which constitutes 90% of our on-book MFI AUM, has PAR 1 of 0.6% and PAR 90 of 0.1%, which is very encouraging.

Additionally, we are happy to announce that the Company has received the second tranche of ~Rs. 25 crore, against the conversion of Fully Convertible Warrants from Florintree Ventures LLP. This investment sends a very positive signal and provides comfort to all stakeholders. With this growth capital, we are well poised to have a comfortable capital position.

Q3FY23 has been one of the foundational quarters for us, whatever we have stated as guidance with all the stakeholders over the last seven quarters, our performance has been in line with the guidance as stated, strengthening our robust growth plans and the core structure of our futuristic plans. Having attained solid ground and made a push towards achieving our goals, we are treading forward with our growth plans. Q3FY23 has been the tailwind to our various business goals and in the next quarter, we want to put a stronger emphasis on continuing growth momentum with better cost efficiencies, while maintaining the asset quality,” stated in the press release.
