Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • Fedbank Financial Services aims for a compounded growth rate of 25% going forward, with intentions to exceed this target.
  • Past growth: Retail AUM grew from INR 1,000 crores in FY'18 to nearly INR 11,000 crores currently, indicating substantial expansion potential.
  • Branch expansion focused on small mortgage branches (increased from ~130 to ~180 this year) and optimized gold loan branches. Future branch additions will be aligned with annual operating plans.
  • Growth will be concentrated in high-yield products like gold loans and small-ticket mortgages, supported by co-lending arrangements scaling up in upcoming quarters.
  • Incremental growth in unsecured loans is calibrated to stay below 15% of the book, with a strategy to originate and sell down to manage risk.
  • The company plans to optimize current products rather than introduce new ones in the foreseeable future.

Fundraise plans

Yes
  • No specific new fundraising through debt or equity was mentioned for the foreseeable future.
  • The focus is on optimizing performance with existing products and refining the operating model.
  • The company currently has sufficient capital and ability to raise debt if needed.
  • Management is guiding a compounded growth rate of 25% and aims to maintain or top that.
  • Rating upgrade is recent (about 10 days old at the time), and though no borrowing has taken place post-upgrade yet, it is expected to positively impact borrowing costs going forward.
  • Leverage can theoretically go up to 6.5x-7x over equity, but with monetization programs (securitization, co-lending), company can advance with lower gearing.
  • Future branch and employee additions, as well as product expansion, will be decided and communicated later.

  • There is an emphasis on expanding through branch additions; 34 branches were added recently, growing from 59 to 172 branches over the last three years to support small ticket LAP and affordable home loans.
  • Capital raised through the IPO is fully deployed with positive impacts on leverage and borrowing costs expected over time.
  • Strategic investments include co-lending arrangements for gold loans to scale up lending while collaborating with partners who have access to lower-cost funds, optimizing capital use.
