Financial Results

Profit & Loss Account: Three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017

The Bank’s total income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 at Rs.263,670.4 million grew by 18.8% from Rs.221,853.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net revenues (net interest income plus other income) increased to Rs.146,316.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from Rs.128,874.0 million in the corresponding three-month period of the previous year. Net interest income (interest earned less interest expended) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 grew by 15.4% to Rs.108,135.7 million, from Rs.93,707.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, driven by asset growth and a net interest margin of 4.2%.

Other income (non-interest revenue) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was Rs.38,180.6 million. Fees and commission income at Rs.31,710.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 constituted 83.1% of other income and grew by 23.0% over Rs.25,781.0 million in the corresponding three months ended June 30, 2017. The other three components of other income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were foreign exchange and derivatives revenue of Rs.4,995.6 million (Rs.2,968.3 million for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year), loss on revaluation/sale of investments of Rs.2,832.3 million (gain of Rs.3,314.0 million for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year) and miscellaneous income, including recoveries and dividend, of Rs.4,306.9 million (Rs.3,103.3 million for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year). The RBI in its circular dated June 15, 2018 granted banks an option to spread provisioning for mark to market losses on investments held in “available for sale” and “held for trading” categories for the three months ended June 30, 2018 equally over four quarters. The Bank has chosen not to avail of this option and has recognized the entire mark to market loss of Rs.3,910.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The loss was primarily attributable to the corporate bond portfolio, which has a modified duration of 1.6.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were Rs.59,838.8 million, an increase of 11.5% over Rs.53,674.6 million during the corresponding three-month period of the previous year. The core cost-to-income ratio (ratio of operating expenses to net revenue excluding profit and loss on revaluation/sale of investments) was at 40.1% as against 42.7% for the corresponding three months ended June 30, 2017.

Provisions (other than tax) and contingencies for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were Rs.16,293.7 million as against Rs.15,587.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The key components therein for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were specific loan loss provisions of Rs.14,322.2 million (as against Rs.13,431.9 million for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year) and general provisions of Rs.1,832.2 million (as against Rs.2,063.2 million for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year).

Profit from ordinary activities before tax for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was up from Rs.59,611.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to Rs.70,183.8 million. Excluding profit and loss on revaluation/sale of investments, profit before tax growth would be 29.7% over the corresponding three-month period of the previous year.

After providing Rs.24,169.4 million of tax expense, the Bank earned a net profit for the period of Rs.46,014.4 million, an increase of 18.2% over the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Balance Sheet: As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017

Total balance sheet size as of June 30, 2018 was Rs.10,804,090.9 million as against Rs.8,956,530.6 million as of June 30, 2017.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2018 were Rs.8,057,853.2 million, an increase of 20.0% over June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018 current account deposits were at Rs.1,092,972.0 million and savings account deposits at Rs.2,266,562.4 million grew by 17.4% over June 30, 2017. Time deposits were at Rs.4,698,318.8 million, an increase of 24.9% over the previous year, resulting in CASA (current accounts and savings accounts) deposits comprising 41.7% of total deposits as of June 30, 2018.


Total advances as of June 30, 2018 were Rs.7,086,486.9 million, an increase of 22.0% over June 30, 2017. This loan growth was contributed by both segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio with the domestic loan mix between retail:wholesale at 55:45. As per regulatory Basel II segment classification, retail loans grew by 21.6% and wholesale loans grew by 22.7%.

Capital Adequacy as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017

The Bank’s total Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as per Basel III guidelines was at 14.6% as of June 30, 2018 (15.6% as of June 30, 2017) as against a regulatory requirement of 11.025% which includes Capital Conservation Buffer of 1.875% and an additional requirement of 0.15% on account of the Bank being identified as a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB).
