Religare ka Q3 Report Card: Loss badha, par future ka plan solid
Religare Enterprises ne Q3 FY26 ke liye apna consolidated net loss report kiya hai, jo ki ₹76.5 Crore hai. Pichhle saal isi quarter mein yeh loss ₹63.2 Crore tha, matlab loss thoda aur badh gaya hai. Par hairaan hone wali baat yeh hai ki unki total consolidated income 23.8% badhkar ₹2,067.9 Crore ho gayi hai. Is 9 mahine ke period mein bhi company ₹22.5 Crore ke loss mein hai, jabki pichhle saal isi time ₹32.0 Crore ka profit tha.
Agar sirf standalone basis par dekhein, toh Religare ne apna loss kam kiya hai ₹11.3 Crore tak (FY25 Q3 mein ₹13.4 Crore tha). Magar standalone income mein 54.7% ki zabardast girawat aayi hai, sirf ₹2.4 Crore reh gayi hai.
Big Plan: Financial Services ko alag karke list karna!
Company ka sabse bada move hai ki woh apne financial services business (jismein lending, broking, etc. aata hai) ko unke insurance business, Care Health Insurance se alag kar rahe hain. Is naye financial services entity ka naam 'Resultant RFL' hoga aur yeh BSE aur NSE par list hogi. Religare Enterprises khud Care Health Insurance mein 63.2% stake rakhegi. Is poore process mein lagbhag 15 se 18 mahine lag sakte hain, aur Resultant RFL ka listing target Q2 FY27 rakha gaya hai.
Kaisa raha alag alag business ka performance?
Consolidated results dikhate hain ki alag alag segments ka performance mila-jula hai. Care Health Insurance ne is quarter mein ₹111.2 Crore ka loss before tax (PBT) report kiya hai, jisne overall profitability ko affect kiya. Doosri taraf, Financial Services segment ne ₹8.5 Crore ka PBT kamaya hai, ₹143.1 Crore ki revenue par, jo ki kaafi stable lag raha hai.
Care Health Insurance abhi bhi apne business ko badhane, distribution network failane aur digital presence strong karne par focus kar raha hai. Ek badi khabar yeh hai ki iski credit rating ko A+ se upgrade karke AA- kar diya gaya hai, jo ki positive sign hai.
Religare Broking (RBL) apne income sources ko diversify karne aur revenue quality sudharne par kaam kar raha hai. Inka e-Governance business aur client funding book mein 93% ka growth ismein madad kar raha hai.
Religare Finvest (RFL) MSME lending space mein governance-led turnaround dikhane ki koshish mein hai. Company debt-free hai aur unhe umeed hai ki July 2025 tak RBI ka Corrective Action Plan (CAP) hat jayega, jisse woh credit market mein wapas aa sakenge. Asset quality aur collections stable hain.
RHDFCL low-to-middle income groups ke liye affordable housing finance mein hai aur IT systems ko upgrade kar raha hai.
Numbers Game aur Pichhle Case
Consolidated income badhi, toh expenses bhi 24.1% badh gaye, mostly 'Other Expenses' aur 'Employee Benefit Expenses' ki wajah se. Pichhle 9 mahine mein 'Impairment and Loss Allowances' mein bhi badi jump dikhi hai, ₹71.4 Crore ho gayi hai pichle saal ke ₹29.4 Crore se.
Balance sheet mein, total assets badh kar ₹11,229 Crore (FY25) ho gaye hain. Borrowings kam hokar ₹138 Crore (FY25) ho gaye hain aur net worth ₹3,436 Crore ho gaya hai.
Religare ka past governance issues se bhara raha hai, khaas kar promoters Malvinder aur Shivinder Mohan Singh ke time mein. Usi wajah se RFL RBI ke CAP mein tha. Ab naya management governance par focus karke balance sheet ko de-risk kar raha hai.
Risk Factors aur Future Outlook
Company ke future plans mein kuch risks bhi hain jaise regulations change hona, capital adequacy maintain karna, collateral value mein risk, NPA management, aur internal/external fraud, cyber incidents aur market volatility. Indian economy mein koi adverse change bhi risk ban sakta hai.
Future mein, company ka focus demerger ko successfully execute karne par hai. Unko umeed hai ki Care Health industry se behtar perform karega aur Religare Broking apne clients badhayega. RFL ka lending mein wapas aana aur RHDFCL ka affordable housing par focus growth ke liye important hoga.
Competitors kya kar rahe hain?
Insurance mein, Care Health ka muqabla Star Health, HDFC ERGO aur ICICI Lombard se hai. Star Health jaise players achhi growth dikha rahe hain. Financial services mein, Religare Broking ka muqabla Angel One, Zerodha aur Upstox jaise online platforms se hai. Angel One toh profit mein tezi dikha raha hai. MSME lending mein RFL ka muqabla NBFCs aur Small Finance Banks se hai, aur RBI CAP hatna RFL ke liye bahut zaroori hoga. Affordable housing mein Aavas Financiers aur Home First Finance India jaise players competitive hain.
