CARE retains “CARE A1” rating assigned to SKS Microfinance’s short-term debt programme

09 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Credit Analysis and Research (CARE) has retained the “CARE A1” rating assigned to the SKS Microfinance’s short-term debt programme aggregating to Rs 500 crore. However, the rating continues to remain under watch due to the continued stress on the asset quality in Andhra Pradesh (AP) that is likely to subdue profitability in the near future. Asset quality, profitability, performance of the new business segments including gold loans and SKS’s ability to operate under a dynamic regulatory environment are key rating sensitivities.

The rating draws comfort from an experienced management team, pan-India distribution network, adequate capitalization, fairly diversified resource profile and the well-developed loan portfolio management systems. The rating also factors in the comfortable liquidity position of the company.

However, the rating is constrained due to the regulatory uncertainty prevailing in the industry, susceptibility of the business to the socio-political intervention and operational risks due to the high proportion of cash transactions.

SKS Microfinance (SKSML) is India’s leading microfinance institution, is registered as a NBFC ND with the RBI and its operations are spread over 19 states of India with 2,379 branches. Total AUM (own and managed portfolio loans managed by SKSML stood at Rs.4,111 crore (including the managed portfolio of Rs.632 crore) as on March 31, 2011.
