­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘‘ACUITE A-’ (read as ACUITE A minus) on the Rs.365.00 Cr. Non-Convertible Debentures facility of ­Arman Financial Services Limited (AFSL). The outlook is revised from ‘Stable’ to 'Positive'.

Rationale for the rating.
The revision in outlook takes into consideration improvement in profitability metrics and groups asset quality. Accordingly, company reported PAT of Rs.56.61 crore in FY26 from Rs.52.07 crore in FY25 and this further improved and stood at Rs. 45.17 Cr. for of Q1 FY27. Acuite expects the revival in the earning profile and disbursement volumes to sustain given the recovery in MFI sector. Rating continues to drive support from groups healthy capitalisation level indicated through net worth of Rs.933.33 crore as on March 31, 2026 as against Rs.874.41 crore as on March 31, 2025, which further improved to Rs.978.69 crore as on June 30, 2026. The rating remains constrained by the group's significant exposure to unsecured lending segments, primarily through its microfinance and individual business loan portfolios. Though, asset quality indicators have shown improvement they remain moderate, with GNPA at 2.76% as on June 30, 2026 from 3.44% as on March 31, 2026 on consolidated level. Similarly, the on-time portfolio on consolidated level improved to 94.91% as on June 30, 2026 from 90.97% as on March 31, 2025 and 94.53% as on March 31, 2026.

Going forward, the group's ability to sustain the improvement in asset quality, maintain profitability while scaling up its diversified lending portfolio, and preserve its healthy capitalization profile will remain key rating sensitivities.
