  Debt to Equity Ratio: The company's debt to equity ratio increased and stood at 0.00x during FY23, from 0.00x during FY22. The debt to equity ratio of a company tells us how much debt a company uses relative to its equity.

• Liquidity Ratios

  Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): AKME STAR's capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was at 77.9% as on 31 March 2023 as compared to 84.8% a year ago. This ratio helps measure the financial strength of the company or any finance company to meet their obligations using their assets and capital.

  A company that has a good CAR has enough capital to absorb potential losses. Thus, it has less risk of becoming insolvent and losing depositor's money.

  Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR): Apart from CAR, you also need to take a look at the company's PCR and LCR ratios. Provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) is the percentage of funds that a company sets aside for covering losses due to bad debts.

  So a high PCR ratio means asset quality issues are under control and the company is not vulnerable.

  Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): The LCR is designed to ensure that companies hold a sufficient reserve of high-quality liquid assets to allow them to survive a period of significant liquidity stress lasting 30 calendar days.

• Profitability Ratios

  Return on Equity (ROE): The return on equity (ROE) ratio for the company improved and stood at 6.7% during FY23, from 1.0% during FY22. The ROE measures the ability of a firm to generate profits from its shareholders capital in the company.

  Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): The ROCE for the company improved and stood at 9.46% during FY23, from 5.78% during FY22. The ROCE measures the ability of a company to generate profits from its total capital (shareholder capital plus debt capital) employed in the company.

• NPA Ratios

  Gross NPA Ratio: The gross NPA ratio is the ratio of a company's gross NPAs to gross advances. AKME STAR's gross NPA ratio stood at 1.7% as of 31 March 2023 compared to 3.0% in the same period a year ago.

  A high gross NPA ratio is a bad thing as it indicates how much of a company's loans are in danger of not being repaid.

  Net NPA Ratio: In simple language, net NPAs are simply the total non-performing assets minus the provision left aside. It gives you the exact value of NPAs after the company has made provisions.

  The net NPA ratio of AKME STAR was 1.3% in financial year 2023. This compared with 2.4% a year ago.
