Meanwhile, legacy (discontinued) AUM declined 51 per cent to Rs 63.3 billion, down 85 per cent since FY22.

Net interest margin (NIM) expanded by 10 basis points quarter-on-quarter to 5.9 per cent. Profit before tax stood at Rs 3.01 billion, with Rs 2.95 billion contributed by the Growth business, translating to a PBT-to-AUM ratio of 1.5 per cent. Operating expenses and credit costs for the Growth business continued to trend downward, with credit cost improving to 1.4 per cent from 1.8 per cent in Q4 FY25.

Asset quality remained stable, with gross non-performing assets (GNPA) at 2.8 per cent and net NPA at 2.0 per cent. The company maintained a strong financial position, with net worth at Rs 271.7 billion and liquidity of Rs 90.7 billion in the form of cash and liquid investments, representing 9 per cent of total assets.

Q1 FY26 is expected to be the final quarter before the merger of PEL and Piramal Finance Limited (PFL), which is anticipated to close by September 2025.
