India's Manappuram Finance falls short of profit estimates on microfinance unit woes
BENGALURU, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Indian gold loan financier Manappuram Finance MNFL.NS reported a third-quarter profit that missed analysts' estimates on Thursday, hurt by the stress in its microfinance business, including a quarter-long ban from issuing loans.
The company's consolidated net profit halved to 2.82 billion rupees ($32.5 million) in the quarter, missing analysts' average estimate of 4.59 billion rupees, as per data compiled by LSEG.
Indian lenders have seen rising default rates in microfinance loans, or collateral-free small loans to borrowers, following a period of aggressive lending in the segment.
Bad loans and provisions in Manappuram's microfinance unit surged four-fold to 4.73 billion rupees, accounting for a large chunk of total company-wide provisions of 5.55 billion rupees in the October to December quarter.
At the start of the period, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had barred the unit from sanctioning and disbursing loans due to "usurious" pricing and for charging a significant mark-up over funding costs. The RBI lifted the ban last month.
As a result, revenue in its microfinance business dropped around 5% to 6.65 billion rupees in the quarter.
However, revenue from Manappuram's gold loan portfolio, which contributes 75% of total revenue, rose 17%, aided by gold prices jumping to record highs.
Rising gold prices increase how much a customer can borrow against bullion, benefiting gold financiers in terms of loans issued.
The company's net interest income rose 5%.
While Manappuram missed analysts estimates, its larger rival Muthoot Finance MUTT.NS rode the increase in gold prices to report a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit on Wednesday.

FACTBOX-India's central bank begins unwinding curbs on NBFCs and banks
Adds RBI lifting restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank
Jan 9 (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India has started to ease curbs on non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and banks after they improved their compliance following a series of supervisory restrictions.
High interest rates and tighter regulations have been cited as contributors to weak demand and a slowdown in India's economic growth, including by the federal finance ministry in a recent report.
The Indian central bank also got a new chief in December with Sanjay Malhotra taking over from Shaktikanta Das.
The following is a list of companies whose restrictions have been removed by the RBI.
KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK
The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday lifted restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank KTKM.NS that had barred the lender from taking on new customers via its online and mobile banking channels, and from issuing new credit cards.
RBI had imposed business restrictions on the lender , asking it to stop adding clients through its online and mobile banking channels and issuing credit cards due to gaps in its IT infrastructure.
ASIRVAD MICRO FINANCE, DMI FINANCE, AROHAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, NAVI FINSERV
The RBI, last month, removed restrictions imposed on DMI Finance and Manappuram Finance-owned MNFL.NS Asirvad Micro Finance with immediate effect.
The regulator had in October barred the two companies, along with Arohan Financial Services and Navi Finserv, from sanctioning and disbursing loans due to "usurious" pricing and charging a significant mark-up over their funding costs.
The same restrictions on Arohan were lifted last week, and from Navi in December.
EDELWEISS ASSET RECONSTRUCTION, ECL FINANCE
The central bank last month lifted restrictions on Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction and ECL Finance, first imposed in May 2024, which barred them from acquiring financial assets or undertaking structured transactions.
The regulator was satisfied with the measures taken to address what it had called "evergreening" of distressed loans.
JM FINANCIAL
A unit of financial services firm JM Financial JMSH.NS in October resumed financing activities related to shares and debentures, including loans for IPO subscriptions after the central bank ended restrictive measures.
The RBI in March barred JM Financial Products from issuing such loans, due to regulatory violations and governance concerns.
IIFL FINANCE
In September, the RBI permitted IIFL Finance to resume issuance of gold loans.
The central bank had barred it from offering gold loans in March, citing concerns about its assessment of gold collateral and violations of the maximum permitted loan-to-value ratio, among other issues.
BAJAJ FINANCE
The RBI in May reversed curbs imposed on India's largest NBFC, Bajaj Finance, allowing it to restart loan disbursals under two of its lending products.
The restrictions were levied in November 2023 due to non-adherence with the central bank's digital lending guidelines.

The regulator had in October barred the two companies, along with Arohan Financial Services and Navi Finserv, from sanctioning and disbursing loans due to "usurious" pricing and charging a significant mark-up over their funding costs.
The same restrictions on Arohan were lifted last week, and from Navi in December.
EDELWEISS ASSET RECONSTRUCTION, ECL FINANCE
The central bank last month lifted restrictions on Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction and ECL Finance, first imposed in May 2024, which barred them from acquiring financial assets or undertaking structured transactions.
The regulator was satisfied with the measures taken to address what it had called "evergreening" of distressed loans.
JM FINANCIAL
A unit of financial services firm JM Financial JMSH.NS in October resumed financing activities related to shares and debentures, including loans for IPO subscriptions after the central bank ended restrictive measures.
The RBI in March barred JM Financial Products from issuing such loans, due to regulatory violations and governance concerns.
IIFL FINANCE
In September, the RBI permitted IIFL Finance to resume issuance of gold loans.
The central bank had barred it from offering gold loans in March, citing concerns about its assessment of gold collateral and violations of the maximum permitted loan-to-value ratio, among other issues.
BAJAJ FINANCE
The RBI in May reversed curbs imposed on India's largest NBFC, Bajaj Finance, allowing it to restart loan disbursals under two of its lending products.
The restrictions were levied in November 2023 due to non-adherence with the central bank's digital lending guidelines.

India's central bank lifts lending ban on Asirvad Micro Finance, DMI Finance
Adds details from the order in paragraph 3, background in paragraph 4-6
Jan 8 (Reuters) - India's central bank said on Wednesday it has removed restrictions imposed on non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), Asirvad Micro Finance and DMI Finance, against any fresh loan sanctions and disbursals with immediate effect.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in October barred four NBFCs, including Manappuram Finance's MNFL.NS unit Asirvad Micro Finance as well as DMI Finance, from issuing loans due to "usurious" pricing and high markups.
RBI said, in response to its action, the companies initiated remedial measures and submitted compliance reports, satisfying the regulator, particularly regarding fairness in loan pricing.
The central bank now has lifted sanctions on all four NBFCs that were barred from disbursing loans in October. The RBI had previously removed lending restrictions on Navi Finserv and Arohan Financial Services.
Over the past year, the RBI has warned the financial sector against "all forms of exuberance" and tightened the rules for credit card and personal loans.
The central bank has also made it more expensive for NBFCs to borrow from banks and imposed restrictions on non-compliant entities.

India's Muthoot Finance posts higher Q2 profit on gold loan demand
BENGALURU, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Indian gold loan provider Muthoot Finance MUTT.NS reported a 26% rise in its second-quarter profit on Thursday, boosted by strong loan demand, and raised its gold loan growth forecast for the financial year 2025.
The company's standalone quarterly profit rose to 12.51 billion rupees from 9.91 billion rupees a year earlier.
This was largely in line with analysts' average estimate of 12.58 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Domestic gold MAUc1 prices surged to record highs during the quarter, driving loan growth for lenders such as Muthoot Finance and Manappuram Finance MNFL.NS.
Rising prices of bullion benefit gold financiers as they increase the value of collateral gold and as more customers seek loans against higher-valued assets.
The company also revised its annual forecast for gold loan growth to 25% from a prior view of 15%, Managing Director George Alexander Muthoot said in a statement.
Muthoot's standalone loan assets under management jumped about 31% to 901.97 billion rupees as of the quarter ended Sept. 30, helped by a 28% jump in its core gold loan portfolio.
The company's interest income rose about 35% to 40.69 billion rupees.
Earlier this month, Manappuram Finance reported an unexpected growth in second-quarter profit as strong performance in its mainstay gold loan segment offset higher provisions.
Shares of Muthoot Finance ended 0.3% higher ahead of the results on Thursday.

India cenbank bars four non-bank lenders from issuing loans for breaching norms
Corrects to non-bank lenders, from micro lenders, in headline and paragraph 1
By Swati Bhat and Siddhi Nayak
MUMBAI, Oct 17 (Reuters) - India's central bank barred four non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) from sanctioning and disbursing loans due to "usurious" pricing and breaching regulatory norms, it said in a release on Thursday.
The ban on Asirvad Micro Finance, Arohan Financial Services, DMI Finance and Navi Finserv is effective from the close of business on Oct. 21, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said.
The companies' pricing policies in terms of their weighted average lending rate (WALR) and the interest spread charged over their cost of funds were found to be excessive and did not adhere to regulations, the RBI said.
"In addition to usurious pricing, these NBFCs were variously found to be in non-adherence with the regulatory guidelines on assessment of household income and consideration of existing/ proposed monthly repayment obligations in respect of their microfinance loans," the RBI said.
It also noted deviations in terms of income recognition & asset classification (IR&AC) norms, which led to evergreening of loans, as well as how the firms managed their gold loan portfolio, handled mandated disclosures on interest rates and fees and outsourced core financial services, among other things.
The companies continued with these practices despite the RBI asking them, over the last few months, to use their regulatory freedom responsibly and ensure fair, reasonable and transparent pricing, especially for small-value loans, the regulator said.
None of the four NBFCs immediately replied to an email seeking comment.
The ban does not preclude the companies from servicing existing customers and carrying out collection and recovery processes as per rules, the RBI said.
The regulator said it would review its decision once the companies confirmed they had taken remedial action.
DMI Finance's total loan book was 118.43 billion rupees as of end March, while that of Asirwad, a unit of Manappuram Finance MNFL.NS, was at 102.95 billion rupees.
In August, DMI Finance had said it plans to raise funds from Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group 8306.T at a valuation of about $3 billion to "ramp up" its lending.

India's IIFL Finance jumps 13% after cenbank lifts curb on gold loan business
BENGALURU, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Shares in India's IIFL Finance IIFL.NS jumped about 13% on Friday, after the country's central bank lifted restrictions on the non-banking financial company's gold loan business, removing a key overhang on its financials and stock.
Shares rose as much as 13.2% to 560.95 rupees, their highest since late February. The stock was last up 9.2% at 541 rupees as of 10:12 am IST. It had fallen about 14% as of last close, after the RBI's ban came in March.
In March, the Reserve Bank of India had ordered IIFL Finance to stop disbursing gold loans with immediate effect, citing "material supervisory concerns" in its gold loan portfolio.
Following the curbs, the company started a special audit in April as directed by the RBI.
Gold loans accounted for 21% of the company's total loan assets, as of June 30, down from 30% as of March-end.
Some analysts had expected rival gold loan financiers such as Manappuram Finance MNFL.NS and Muthoot Finance MUTT.NS to benefit from lower competitive intensity after the regulatory ban on IIFL Finance.
However, Muthoot Finance could now be at a higher risk of giving up gains and underperforming on the lifting of restrictions, Morgan Stanley said in a note on Thursday.
On Friday, Muthoot Finance was down 3% while Manappuram Finance shed 1%.
