Commenting
on the results, George Jacob Muthoot, Chairman stated, "As the country was
struggling to recover from the impact of second wave of corona virus pandemic,
the third wave hit during the third quarter jolted again the recovery of
economic activities to the Pre-covid levels. Despite this condition, our company
was able to maintain the consolidated AUM at Rs 60896 crore focusing more on
loan recovery. We could register a 9% growth in consolidated AUM when compared
to last year at Rs 55800 crore. Also we could register a 8% growth in
consolidated Profit after Tax at Rs 3025 crore compared to last year during the
nine months. Now with the decline in the covid positivity rates, the overall
recovery in economic activity emerging in the country seems optimistic. Hence
with the economic growth gradually picking up and consumers realising that gold
loans are all-weather loans, we remain optimistic about growth in gold loans.
Moreover, considering that there is large household gold jewellery holding in
India, there lies huge potential for growth in the gold loan industry for
players like us."
George
Alexander Muthoot, Managing Director said, "As the financial sector continue to
be in grip of covid pandemic in the aftermath of second wave and the slowing
down on account of the third wave, our focus was on the recovery of loans
especially the gold loan segment. Despite the situation, the quarter witnessed
22% increase in disbursements and 38% increase in recoveries in gold loans.
During the quarter, we disbursed fresh loans to 3.81 lakh new customers
amounting to Rs 4007 crore and to 4.98 lakh inactive customers amounting to Rs 4426
crore. Further, Company could register a 10% increase in profit after tax at Rs
2994 crore 9MFY2022 and 9% growth in gold loans at Rs 54215 crore as against
last Year. As regards our subsidiary, we continue to maintain a cautious
stance. The collections across Micro finance, vehicle finance and home loans
has improved. Our subsidiaries in microfinance and in Sri Lanka registered a QoQ
growth in their loan portfolios of 14% and 8% respectively. We expect our
improved versions of our several digital initiatives like mobile app, POS,
online gold loans, loan at home app etc to facilitate our loan growth and will
continue to see our focus."
