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

“Amid the unrelenting elevated inflation and volatile global environment, the domestic economy has demonstrated relative resilience. Equity capital markets have been volatile due to geopolitical developments and increase in rates. On the other hand, credit growth has witnessed an upward trajectory.

Last financial year we had strong earnings from IPO financing activity which has substantially reduced this financial year due to regulatory changes both at RBI and SEBI.

In line with our earlier guidance, we gained strong momentum this quarter in our lending verticals and grew the loan book to Rs.14,670 crore. The increase in loan book will reflect in the earnings in the balance part of this year and the next financial year. Our retail mortgage investments continue with the expansion of JM Financial Home Loans to 75 branches and the business is expected to grow at a faster pace.

Despite challenging equity markets, we reported strong earnings in the Investment Bank segment on the back of our strong fixed income franchise.

Our alternative and distressed credit business had reported record profitability last year on the back of strong resolutions. We are selectively adding assets and continue to prioritize focus on resolution of existing assets.

We continue our strategic investments in the Platform AWS segment through additional hires, digital marketing and building digital friendly and physical infrastructure.

Being an integrated and well capitalized financial services player, we are in a position of strength to leverage growth opportunities.”
