muthoot capital services reported a net profit of ₹1,117.33 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, down 75.58% from ₹4,574.60 lakh in FY25. The sharp decline in earnings, despite a 32.74% rise in total income to ₹63,252.15 lakh, signals significant pressure on margins driven by higher credit costs and operational expenditures. This performance reflects the challenges faced by the NBFC in managing asset quality during a period of portfolio stress, impacting shareholder returns as the Board decided against declaring a dividend.

The company’s total income increased from ₹47,649.53 lakh in FY25 to ₹63,252.15 lakh in FY26, supported by growth in its self-sourced loan portfolio. However, finance expenses rose 41.00% to ₹31,521.42 lakh, while operating expenses grew 29.61% to ₹22,443.46 lakh. The most material drag on profitability was the loan loss and provision expense, which surged 289.95% to ₹7,557.03 lakh from ₹1,937.95 lakh in the prior year. Management attributed this spike to higher impairment expenses recognized due to stress in the seasoned portfolio during the first half of the fiscal year.

Financial Performance Snapshot

Assets under management (AUM) on the own book stood at ₹3,35,050.00 lakh as of March 31, 2026, up 9.76% from ₹3,05,268.41 lakh in the previous year. Disbursements for all loans decreased by 11.29% to ₹2,34,374.77 lakh, primarily because the company intentionally reduced its co-lending portfolio to focus on its own book. The capital adequacy ratio (CRAR) remained robust at 22.02%, well above the regulatory minimum of 15%, with Tier I CRAR at 21.87%.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between rising income and collapsing profits highlights a critical shift in cost structure. While net interest income grew 25.45% to ₹31,730.73 lakh, the loan loss to average AUM ratio jumped to 2.35% from 0.78% in FY25. This indicates that the stress in the seasoned portfolio was not fully offset by the improved quality of newly originated assets. Furthermore, the return on average AUM fell sharply to 0.35% from 1.85%, suggesting that the current provisioning levels are temporarily suppressing capital efficiency until portfolio quality stabilizes.

The Board of Directors recommended retaining all profits for FY26 to strengthen the capital base and support future business growth, resulting in no dividend payout. The 32nd Annual General Meeting is scheduled for August 31, 2026, where shareholders will vote on the re-appointment of Ms. Susan John and the appointment of Ms. Manimekhalai A as an Independent Director.
