Spandana Sphoorty's Credit Ratings Reaffirmed by CARE Ratings
CARE Ratings reaffirmed Spandana Sphoorty's credit ratings: CARE BBB+ Stable for ₹1,780 crore of long-term facilities and NCDs, and CARE A2 for ₹100 crore of commercial paper. The reaffirmation considers adequate capitalization, experienced management, and improved asset quality. The company reported marginal net profit in Q4FY26 after consecutive losses.
Credit rating reaffirmations are important for a company's borrowing costs and investor confidence, but this specific announcement does not involve significant new financial events or drastic changes in rating.
The credit rating has been reaffirmed with a stable outlook, indicating a positive assessment of the company's financial health and future prospects by the rating agency.
Spandana Sphoorty Financial Limited (SSFL) has announced that CARE Ratings Limited has reaffirmed its credit ratings for various facilities. The long-term bank facilities and non-convertible debentures totaling ₹1,780 crore have been reaffirmed at CARE BBB+ with a Stable outlook. Additionally, the commercial paper of ₹100 crore has been reaffirmed at CARE A2. These reaffirmations reflect SSFL's adequate capitalization, experienced management team, and a geographically diversified lending portfolio. The company has demonstrated its ability to access capital markets, having raised ₹200 crore through a rights issue in FY26, with flexibility to raise an additional ₹200 crore by March 2027. The rating also considers improving collection efficiency trends, a strengthening underwriting and risk management framework, and improved asset quality indicators. Gross stage-3 and net stage-3 loans declined to 4.2% and 0.9% respectively as of March 31, 2026. Operating performance has also shown improvement, with the company reporting a marginal net profit in Q4FY26 after six consecutive quarters of losses. The rating reaffirmation also factors in the proposed merger of Criss Financial Limited (CFL), a 99.92% subsidiary, with SSFL, which is not expected to have a material impact on the credit profile. The Stable outlook is based on the expectation that SSFL will scale up its operations, with gradual improvement in profitability while maintaining adequate capitalization and liquidity.
