Management Comments

M

Mr Lakshmipathy Deenadayalan

The effect of overleverage crisis on secured portfolio that we witnessed during the last quarter continued during 1QFY26 as well, at slightly heightened intensity, leading to impact on asset quality metrices of Five Star. AS a Company focused on “Quality Growth”, our efforts were skewed more towards addressing the asset quality, leading to slightly muted growth on a y-o-y basis. We have consistently maintained very strong asset quality over the last many years; compared against this backdrop, there was an uptick in our DPD and NPA numbers during the quarter. However, viewed in isolation, our NPA numbers shall stack up better than many of our peers operating in the small ticket secured / unsecured loans space. We also believe that a trend reversal is likely on the horizon and is expected to play out over the next couple of quarters, with likely normalization by 2HFY26.
