Strengths
Fusion Micro Finance has achieved significant success with its growth strategy of targeting underserved and underpenetrated rural areas in both existing markets and new geographies. It has a well-diversified and extensive pan-India presence with a technologically advanced operating model. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on industry tailwinds.
Weaknesses
The company’s large portion of collections and disbursements from customers are in cash, exposing it to operational risks. It has also posted declining profits from FY20 to FY22 due to the pandemic and expansion spending.
Opportunities
NBFC-MFIs are expected to grow at a much faster rate of 20-22% as compared to the MFI industry at 18-20% CAGR between FY22-25. The new regulatory regime for microfinance loans levels the playing field and benefits NBFC-MFIs. This would increase the market opportunity available to MFIs and enable them to create a more balanced portfolio.
Threats
Any downturn in the economy can impact GNPA/NNPA ratios. Any disruption in sources of funding or increase in costs of funding could adversely affect the liquidity and financial condition of the company. Fusion Micro Finance also faces the most significant organised competition from other MFIs, banks and state-sponsored social programs in India.
