| Net Profit (Before Tax) | 1,741.22 | 1,357.11 | +28.30% |
| Net Profit (After Tax) | 1,301.23 | 1,008.92 | +28.97% |

On a quarterly basis, net profit after tax rose 6.00% to ₹1,301.23 million from ₹1,227.67 million in Q4FY26. Total comprehensive income for the period stood at ₹1,380.87 million, an increase from ₹1,190.09 million in the preceding quarter.
Balance Sheet and Capital Structure
The company’s net worth increased to ₹38,731.77 million as of June 30, 2026, from ₹37,251.52 million at the end of FY26. Paid-up equity share capital rose slightly to ₹11,065.97 million from ₹11,057.04 million. However, outstanding debt capital surged to ₹88,577.71 million, up from ₹71,617.13 million in March 2026 and significantly higher than ₹57,229.45 million a year ago.
Consequently, the debt-equity ratio expanded to 2.29 from 1.92 at the end of FY26 and 1.73 in June 2025. The total debts to total assets ratio also ticked up to 0.68 from 0.65 in the previous quarter and year-end.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between revenue growth and debt expansion warrants attention. While operating income grew by 26.52% year-on-year, outstanding debt capital increased by approximately 54.8% over the same period. This suggests that SBFC Finance is aggressively funding its loan book growth through external borrowing rather than retained earnings or equity issuance. Although profitability metrics like net profit margin remained stable at 26.47% (compared to 25.97% in Q1FY25), the rising leverage ratio indicates increased financial risk that investors should monitor in subsequent quarters.
