Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said, 

“FY22-23 was marked by uncertain geopolitical developments, global inflation and bouts of market volatilities. On the back of recession concerns, the markets delivered mixed and range-bound performances.

Given the market volatility, we reported reasonable results for the quarter and financial year ended 2023 especially given the absence of IPO financing product which contributed meaningfully to the earnings in the last financial year. During the quarter, we have also taken additional provision of Rs. 246 crore in the distressed credit business across assets due to delay in their respective resolutions on account of various factors such as proceedings in the National Company Law Tribunal, Other Courts, etc. The distressed credit business has generated a profit at the operating level without considering these provisions of Rs. 30 crore.

In line with the guidance provided, we continue to grow our loan book across verticals. We continued our investments in asset management, digital business and portfolio management services. We are excited with the progress on our FinTech platform which cuts across WealthTech, LendingTech, and InvestmentTech domains. We will continue to invest in these businesses in the current financial year as well.

Our employee base across the group has increased by 1,281 over the last two financial years to 3,259 as of March 31, 2023.

Our retail mortgage business has scaled further and continued the growth momentum with the number of branches increasing to 93 as of March 31, 2023. We are exploring strategic options including a potential combination and listing of the retail mortgage portfolio of JM Financial Home Loans Limited and the home finance business of Indostar Home Finance Private Limited including other mortgage-backed business of Indostar.

This year is a seminal for us, as JM Financial group is one of the very few financial services players to complete 50 years in business.”
