Abstract

Financial performance analysis plays a vital role in evaluating the operational efficiency, profitability, and long-term sustainability of business organizations, particularly in the financial services sector. This study focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the financial performance trends of Sakthi Finance Limited over a five-year period from 2020–21 to 2024–25. The primary objective of the study is to examine the trends in income, profitability, asset structure, and financial stability and to assess the company’s overall financial health in a dynamic economic environment.


The study is based entirely on secondary data collected from the audited annual reports of the company. Descriptive and analytical research designs have been adopted to evaluate financial performance using tools such as trend analysis, ratio analysis, common-size statements, and growth rate analysis. Key financial indicators including total income, interest income, net interest margin, finance costs, profit after tax, return on assets, return on equity, earnings per share, loan book growth, and impairment on financial instruments have been analyzed.


The findings reveal that the company has demonstrated stable growth in total income and profitability during the study period. Interest income remains the dominant source of revenue, while net interest margin and profitability ratios indicate improved operational efficiency. Asset quality has also improved through reduced impairment levels and better credit risk management. However, moderate loan book growth and limited diversification of revenue sources remain areas of concern.


The study concludes that the company is financially stable and operationally efficient. Strategic initiatives such as digital transformation, revenue diversification, cost optimization, and geographical expansion can further strengthen its long-term sustainability and competitive position in the NBFC sector.
