Muthoot Microfin Q3 profit slumps 97% to Rs 4 crore on higher provisioning

Microfinance company Muthoot Microfin has reported a 97% fall in net profit for the third quarter at Rs 4 crore as against Rs 125 crore in the year ago period, on account of higher provisionings.

The fall in net profit was primarily driven by a considerable provisioning cost of Rs 247 crore in the quarter, influenced by the uncertain macroeconomic environment and recent changes in code of conduct, the company said.

Pre-provision operating profit however rose 40% at Rs 252 crore, backed by higher earnings. Total income stood 18% higher at Rs 681 crore with net interest income rising 23% at R. 420 crore.

Its net interest margin for the quarter stood at 13.3%, up 78 basis points from 12.5% seen in the year ago quarter, despite a 25 bps reduction in lending rate in income-generating loans and a 125 bps cut in third-party product loans during the period. The company reduced rates for income generating loans by 115 bps since January 2024.

“The microfinance industry is experiencing a challenging financial year, shaped by macroeconomic uncertainties and a shifting regulatory landscape,” chief executive Sadaf Sayeed said.
