CSL Finance Limited reported audited financial results for FY2026 ending March 31, 2026. Total revenue from operations grew to ₹25,606 lakh, up 19% from ₹21,505 lakh in FY2025. Profit after tax (PAT) increased to ₹8,611 lakh from ₹7,209 lakh, representing 19% growth. Basic EPS stood at ₹37.80 versus ₹31.64 in the prior year. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹10 per equity share (100% payout), comprising 30% normal and 70% special dividend. The statutory auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements. An exceptional item of ₹17.32 lakh was recorded due to past period employee benefit liability arising from new labour codes. Total assets grew to ₹1,48,760 lakh, driven by loan portfolio expansion to ₹1,37,394 lakh. Borrowings increased to ₹85,417 lakh from ₹69,296 lakh. Operating cash flow remained negative at ₹5,665 lakh, though it improved from negative ₹10,248 lakh in FY2025.
The company delivered consistent double-digit growth in revenue and profitability with a clean audit, which is positive for shareholders. The special dividend signals management confidence. However, the rising debt levels and negative operating cash flow may warrant monitoring, particularly as a financial services company reliant on borrowings for lending operations.
