Speaking about the results,

stellar performance in gold loan space. Though there is a dip in loan assets
during the quarter, we have achieved a YoY growth of 9% in loan assets at Rs 63,444
crore. High frequency indicators suggest recovery in economic activity, with
strong urban demand environment though the rural demand is still reviving. The
Indian economy has been resilient and we are optimistic about steady demand
conditions for gold loans coupled with the huge untapped opportunity in gold
loan segment. The RBI approval for opening new 150 branches, coupled with the
recent digital initiatives, gold Loan@home service will help us further expand
and tap new customers.
George Alexander Muthoot,
Managing Director, Muthoot Finance said, “The impact of the very low interest
rate teaser loans has resulted in lower yields during Q1FY23. The launching of
teaser loans was a strategic move taken in Q3 FY 22 and it enabled us to
attract a set of new high value customers. During the quarter, we focused on
migrating such teaser loans to higher rate schemes and we successfully
completed this exercise end June 2022.
Hence the decline in loan assets by 2%. Although our live number of customers
is 50 Lakh, we have a customer base of more than 4 to 5 times this number, who
have had earlier transacted with us. Certainly these customers will come back
to Muthoot for availing the high quality service we offer them when they
require credit. We are expecting opening of 150 new branches for which approval
was received from RBI to be completed by October 2022 upon which additional
business will be generated.”
