The contribution of our subsidiaries to the overall consolidated AUM improved slightly to 12%, and going ahead we expect the share of non-gold AUM to gradually rise. It is to be noted that despite the challenges, efforts by NBFC sector has increased the visibility of the gold loans as a safe, secured lending product. We are hopeful that our expertise in the product would help us capitalise on this positively in the coming quarters”.
Mr. George Alexander Muthoot, Managing Director said,” Muthoot Finance registered a YoY growth of 6% in loan assets and marginal QoQ growth in gold loans of less than 1%. Yield on loan portfolio witnessed a QoQ increase of 0.84% consequent to stoppage of very low rate teaser loans. Borrowing cost slightly rose to 8.13% due to the impact of general increase in the interest rates with banks MCLR being constantly revised and fresh NCDs being raised at higher rates. Our continued focus on loan disbursements, recovery efforts and keeping our borrowing costs under check could enable us to maintain our NIMs in the range of 11-12%. Return on assets for the quarter improved to 6.27%.”
