Chennai, 30th July 2020: The Board of Directors of CIFCL today approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30th June 2020.
Highlights:
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the nation-wide lock down began in late March and subsequently extended till May 15th. Stringent restrictions halted most economic activities in the country. Post opening after May 15th, operations have gradually resumed and there has been an improved demand and we have been able to disburse Rs 3,589 Cr for the quarter. The Company’s tech initiatives and customer’s increased acceptance on digital lending amidst this Covid-19 pandemic are encouraging signs to look for in the near term.
Pursuant to the moratorium announced by RBI on EMI repayments, the company has granted moratorium to its customers for installments falling due between March and August. Nearly 74% of our customers have availed moratorium considering the uncertainty over the period of lockdown. However, post relaxations of lock down after May 15th, we witnessed traction with respect to collections from such moratorium availed customers, who have started paying their EMIs in advance. We have around 50% of our moratorium customers repaying partial or full installments. During the month of June, the Company also made lot of awareness calls/SMS to customers, explaining to them the impact of the moratorium availed by them.
The Company has not availed moratorium so far on its borrowings. The Company holds strong liquidity position with Rs. 7,169 Cr as cash balance as of Jun’20, with a total liquidity position of Rs.11,677 Cr (including undrawn sanctioned lines). The ALM is comfortable with no negative cumulative mismatches across all time buckets. Even after extending the moratorium to its customers, for the second phase, the cash position of the Company is adequate to meet all its maturities and fixed obligations till Dec 2020.

Managing Director's Comments:
Commenting on the results, Arun Alagappan, Managing Director, stated “It was a challenging quarter for the NBFC industry with muted disbursements and a slowdown in repayments due to the moratorium and lockdown. Chola’s response was comprehensive, with our treasury ramping up liquidity, our tech team identifying and deploying digital interventions for disbursements and collections, our analytics team being able to identify vulnerable segments and more importantly, our business teams adapting to the new normal of driving business despite working away from offices. Valuable learnings from these past few months shall remain with us for many more years to come.
While it was important to respond to the Covid-19 shock, it was also equally important for us to not lose focus of the company’s long-term aspirations. Optimizing the company’s cost structure was strategically important for us. The quarter gone by helped us critically evaluate our expenses, with an improvement already visible – our opex ratio has come down to 2.2% from 2.6% just a quarter before. During the quarter, we have initiated a comprehensive process transformation program for the vehicle finance business. The LAP business has rolled out its newly developed Loan Origination and Loan Management System during the quarter gone by.
Looking ahead, we expect disbursements to improve, considering our diversified product portfolio and pan India presence. We will also continue to retain our increased focus on the collections and cost fronts.”
