Net profit declined to Rs. 5.4 crore in Q4 FY26 compared to Rs. 6.4 crore reported in Q4 FY25, reflecting a decline of around 16% year-on-year. Higher finance costs and tax expenses weighed on the company’s bottom-line performance during the quarter.
Q3 FY26 vs Q4 FY26 Performance
Revenue from operations increased from Rs. 159.5 crore in Q3 FY26 to Rs. 166.5 crore in Q4 FY26, reflecting steady quarterly growth. Operating profit also improved from Rs. 87 crore in Q3 FY26 to Rs. 88.5 crore in Q4 FY26. However, operating profit margin moderated slightly from 56.07% to 53.15%.
Profit before tax declined from Rs. 10.3 crore in Q3 FY26 to Rs. 7.8 crore in Q4 FY26, while net profit slipped from Rs. 7.7 crore to Rs. 5.4 crore during the same period. The decline in quarterly profitability indicates continued pressure from higher borrowing costs and operational expenses despite healthy growth in revenue.
For the full financial year FY26, Muthoot Capital Services reported total revenue from operations of Rs. 620.5 crore compared to Rs. 479.3 crore in FY25, registering strong annual growth. Net profit for FY26 came in at Rs. 11.2 crore against Rs. 45.7 crore in FY25, reflecting pressure on overall profitability during the year due to higher impairment provisions and increased finance costs.
Muthoot Capital Services delivered healthy revenue growth in Q4 FY26 supported by strong lending activity and rising interest income. However, higher finance costs and pressure on profitability impacted the company’s bottom-line performance during the quarter. Going forward, improvement in asset quality, better margin management, and continued growth in vehicle financing demand will remain key factors for the company’s future performance.
