Entity 1+ DPD improved to 6% from 7.1% in December, while entity 30+ DPD improved by 70 basis points and entity 60+ DPD improved by 50 basis points over the prior quarter.

Outlook and Strategic Priorities

Management reiterated an overall AUM growth guidance of 20% to 25% for the coming year, with the twin-engine strategy of Gold and LAP remaining central to the growth plan. On the profitability front, management guided for approximately 20 to 30 basis points improvement in ROA over the FY26 average, to be driven by a combination of opex reduction and continued moderation in credit costs. The company also indicated plans to continue branch expansion in FY27 and expects the ST LAP business to progressively improve in sourcing quality and collections efficiency as the newly onboarded leadership and field teams gain further vintage.
