I now hand the conference over to Mr. Prince Tiwari, Head of Investor Relations.
Thank you and over to you, Mr. Tiwari.
Prince Tiwari: Thank you, Renju, and good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to AU Small Finance
Bank's earnings call for the first quarter of the financial year ’26 -‘27. We thank you
all for joining the call this afternoon. On today's call, from the management side, we

Credit Officer - Mr. Vivek Tripathi; Deputy CEOs - Mr. Uttam Tibrewal and Mr. Yogesh
Jain; CFO - Mr. Gaurav Jain; Chief Digital and AI Officer - Mr. Ankur Tripathi; and the
IR team.
As we made the announcement today, Mr. Yogesh Jain has been elevated as the

appointment. We will start today's call with a 15 to 20 minutes opening remarks from

call. With that, I now request Gaurav to share his opening remarks.
Gaurav Jain: Thank you, Prince. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our Q1
earnings call. As we step into the 10th financial year of our banking journey, we do so
from a position of strength. Our franchise today is more diversified, resilient, and
scalable, reflecting years of disciplined execution and clear strategic focus.
Over this period, we have strengthened our balance sheet, built multiple durable
growth engines, and continued to invest in technology and talent while maintaining
a sharp and consistent focus on risk management and governance. These
foundational strengths have enabled us to navigate evolving operating conditions
with confidence and deliver strong, high-quality performance. Let me now take you
through the key highlights of the quarter.
Q1 was marked by heightened geopolitical uncertainty arising from the ongoing West
Asia crisis. The Indian economy and the banking sector, however, continue to
demonstrate resilience with healthy credit growth across segments. Liquidity
conditions remain relatively tight with heightened competition for deposits and

elevated interest rates. While we remain watchful of evolving external risks, these
developments have not had any material impact on our business momentum and our
operating performance continues to be strong across key metrics.
Deposits growth remained robust at 24% year-on-year, significantly ahead of the
estimated private sector banking deposit growth of 14%. Loan portfolio grew by 23%
year-on-year versus private sector banking growth of 17%, with secured assets
growing by 25% year-on-year. Growth in unsecured businesses improved with 11%
year-on-year growth and 5% quarter-on-quarter growth led by microfinance and
personal loan. Disbursement for the quarter was up 42% year-on-year driven by
continued strength in our core retail secured and commercial banking businesses.
Asset quality remained robust with slippages declining by 22% year-on-year to
INR798 crores, driven by improvement in the unsecured portfolio. Slippages in
secured assets portfolio remain stable. Profit for the quarter grew by 37% year-on-
year to INR796 crores, driven by core PPOP growth of 41%. Net interest margin
increased by 47 basis points year-on-year to 5.9%. Core fee income grew by 33% year-
on-year driven by higher business volumes.
Cost to assets ratio, excluding CGFMU premium was 4%, up marginally from 3.9% last
year, driven by strong disbursement growth and investments made in distribution,
manpower, and technology over the last 12 months. Operating leverage continues to
play out on underlying basis and we expect cost to assets ratio to improve on a full-
year basis.
Credit cost, including CGFMU fee, declined by 54 basis points year-on-year to 0.8%
compared with 1.4% a year ago. ROA for the quarter was 1.7% versus 1.5% in Q1 last
year, and ROE was 15.6% versus 13.3% in Q1 last year. PAT for the quarter included
an additional one-time provision of INR23 crores from further strengthening of NPA
provisioning norms in selected products.
We continue to further strengthen our leadership with elevation of Mr. Yogesh Jain
as Deputy CEO and appointment of Chief Risk Officer Designate and Head of
Technology. These additions add to our domain expertise and reinforce our focus on
enhancing risk management, strengthening technology capabilities, and building a
high-quality, future-ready institution.
I will now talk about our tech initiatives. We have aligned our technology agenda
around three priorities: run, build, and transform, with focus on protecting and
scaling the core franchise, accelerating digital adoption, and building a future-ready

institution powered by data and AI. During the quarter, we made meaningful progress
in embedding AI and automation into core business processes.
We successfully rolled out our AI-enabled gold loan origination platform in a
controlled environment. A mobile-native version is now live and we will start
extending this to branches in a calibrated manner. On the same Agentic AI platform,
build-out of loan origination journey for mortgages will also be undertaken.
AI-led transformation initiatives are underway
