Well on its trajectory to meet annual profitability targets, the bank’s profit for nine-months is up 85% to Rs 721.05 Cr from Rs 389.36 Cr clocked during nine-months of the last fiscal.

Performance Highlights

The Bank’s Net Interest Income (NII) surged by 27% YoY to Rs 1257.38 Cr for the December quarter when compared to Rs 993.30 Cr recorded last year, while growing 19% YoY for nine-months to Rs 3495.73 Cr. The Bank’s Operating Profit grew by 65% YoY to Rs 544.11 Cr for the December quarter, 2022.

The Bank’s NIM has also improved by 54 basis-points (bps) YoY to 4.10% – the highest in last seven years – while as the Return on Assets rose to 0.92% for the December quarter from 0.57% recorded last year. With Yield on Advances improving by 90 bps to 9.34%, the Bank’s steadily moderating cost-to-income ratio has come down further to 63.71% for the third quarter.

Commenting upon the quarterly growth numbers, MD & CEO Baldev Prakash said, “Driven largely by an improving asset-quality through better SMA management and vigorous recoveries, we have achieved a better set of numbers in our December quarter. And we remain committed to sustained improvement in our overall functioning and the operating results as communicated in our financial-year guidelines.”

The Gross NPA Ratio of the Bank has further come down 168 bps YoY and 42 bps QoQ to 7.25% for the quarter, while as the Net NPA ratio has moderated YoY by 94 bps to 2.08%. Provision coverage ratio (PCR) of the Bank stood at 84.83% for the quarter ended December, 2022.

“Through an ensured institutional focus on the asset-quality, we have brought down our Net NPAs to 2.08%, which is the lowest in last eight years. While each passing quarter is witnessing an improvement in our GNPA figure, we have reduced it further to around 7%, and our Provision Coverage Ratio for the quarter is about 85%”, said the MD & CEO regarding the bank’s asset-quality.

“And with strict regime of early-warning systems, pro-active monitoring and review mechanisms at all levels coupled with rolling out of timely OTS schemes, we are confident of reducing our gross NPAs to around 6% by the end of fiscal”, he added.

Business Growth

Meanwhile, the Bank’s net advances are up 14% YoY and 4% QoQ to Rs 77639 Cr during the quarter reviewed while as the deposits have grown 8% from Rs 109298 Cr to Rs 117935 Cr. However, the Bank witnessed 21% YoY growth in advances in its operational geographies across Rest-of-India (RoI).

The Bank’s overall business increased by 10% to Rs 195574 from Rs 177664 Cr recorded last year while as the Bank’s CASA Ratio continues to remain as one of the industry best at about 54%.

“Both our advances and deposits have grown by 14% and 8% respectively, which are quite in line with industry averages. However, witnessing growth at 21%, the Rest-of-India share in the overall loan-book has crossed 30% mark during the December quarter in line with the financial-year guidelines”, said MD & CEO while commenting on growth numbers.

Comfortable Capital Cushion

With tier-II capital augmentation of over Rs 1000 Cr, the bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio rose up to 13.82% as against 12.38% recorded as on December 31, 2021.

“The capital augmentation through raising of tier-II bonds worth Rs 1021 Cr during the December quarter has cushioned us to comfortably execute our envisaged growth plan especially in rest of India. Our CRAR has improved to 13.82%”, asserted MD & CEO Baldev Prakash.
