Janashakthi Finance PLC delivers LKR 60 Mn Net Profit for Q1 FY 2025/26 under new brand identity

In the wake of its strategic rebranding from Orient Finance PLC, Janashakthi Finance PLC, a subsidiary of JXG (Janashakthi Group) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025, reporting a Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of LKR 60 million.

Net Operating Income surged to LKR 672 million for the quarter, a 35% year-on-year increase. This performance was driven by an increase in Interest Income, fuelled by an expanded Loans and Receivables portfolio of LKR 23.81 billion – up from LKR 16.61 billion in the comparable period last year.

The purposeful performance was a result of disciplined execution and renewed focus as Rajendra Theagarajah, Chairman of Janashakthi Finance PLC noted. “Our Q1 results reaffirm the direction we have taken. The profit and deposit growth we’re seeing are results of strategic alignment across our teams, from frontline to back-end operations. With a clear roadmap ahead, we remain committed to leveraging our brand transformation to unlock greater market share, deepen customer relationships, and drive sustainable financial performance.”

He further said, “This quarter’s performance is more than just numbers. It marks a fundamental shift in how we engage with our stakeholders. Our renewed brand identity is underpinned by a disciplined growth strategy and a deeper commitment to customer-centricity. We are confident that our efforts will drive consistent performance and position us as a credible partner in the evolving financial services ecosystem. Moreover, customer confidence in Janashakthi Finance PLC was evident, with deposits growing 6% quarter-on-quarter to reach LKR 16.90 billion. This steady growth highlights the company’s strong financial standing and its commitment to delivering value.”

As Janashakthi Finance PLC continues to evolve under its new identity, the business remains focused on driving financial inclusion, enhancing digital access, and innovating around customer needs anchored by sound governance and a forward-looking leadership team.
