The full read

Arman Financial Services ended FY26 with a consolidated net profit of ₹56.6 crore, an 8.7% increase over the prior year. This result is notable because it occurred alongside an 11.5% decline in total revenue to ₹645.9 crore. The quarterly performance was the primary driver of this annual growth, with Q4 net profit more than tripling to ₹41 crore from ₹12.8 crore in the same period last year. The company expanded its loan book by 31% to ₹2,213 crore, while simultaneously improving its asset quality. The net stage III loan ratio fell to 0.93% from 1.51% a year ago. The board also moved to redesignate Uttam Patel as the chief compliance officer. The combination of a growing loan book and narrowing impairment losses indicates that the company is managing its credit risk effectively, even as top-line revenue remains under pressure.
