NEW DELHI – Indian Overseas Bank reported robust growth in its net profit for the June quarter on the back of a nine-quarter high on-year jump in total income. The bank's net profit was, however, capped by a steep rise in expenses. 

 

Indian Overseas Bank reported a net profit of INR 16.59 billion for the June quarter, up over 49% on year and over 10% on quarter. This was led by an over 23% rise in total income at INR 109.38 billion. The bank's interest income rose 19% on year, the highest pace in eight quarters, to INR 87.78 billion. The bank's other income also jumped sharply, up 46% on year to INR 21.60 billion. The jump in other income was also at the highest pace in seven quarters. 

 

Sequentially, the bank's interest income rose 3.4%, and other income rose 67%. The bank reported its financial results during market hours, and at 1328 IST, shares of the bank were at INR 34.84 on the National Stock Exchange, up 3% from the previous close.

 

The healthy income coincided with the bank's credit and deposit growth during the quarter outpacing the systemic average. Its advances grew over 23% on year to INR 3.18 trillion, while deposits grew nearly 14% on year to INR 3.76 trillion. The Reserve Bank of India's latest data showed loans of all scheduled commercial banks were up nearly 19% on year as on Jun. 30, and deposits rose over 13%.

 

The lender's bottom line also got a huge boost from a sharp fall in the tax outgo. The public sector bank's tax outgo during the June quarter was down over 50% on year at INR 2.0 billion. Sequentially, it was up over 30%. 

 

The bank's net profit, although very healthy, could have been much better had it not been for a 27% rise in total expenses on a year-on-year basis. The bank's total expenses totalled INR 82.45 billion, up 16% sequentially. The on-year rise in total income was the sharpest in nine quarters, data available with Informist showed. Within total expenses, employee costs shot up, rising 80% on year and more than doubling from the trailing quarter to INR 21.05 billion. The bank's other operating expenses also rose sharply on year by 49% to INR 10.50 billion.

 

Interest expended, the biggest chunk of total expenses, was up nearly 10% on year and 1.4% on quarter at INR 50.90 billion during Apr-Jun.

 

To balance the sequential rise in tax outgo, the bank's provisions fell steadily on a quarter-on-quarter basis during Apr-Jun. India Overseas Bank's provisions fell to INR 8.34 billion, down 17% sequentially. It was only marginally lower than in the year-ago quarter. 

 

The fall in provisions was in line with the improvement in asset quality. The state-owned bank's gross non-performing asset ratio fell to 1.33% from 1.42% at the end of March and 1.97% at the end of June last year. Net NPAs, on the other hand, fell to 0.18% from 0.21% in the trailing quarter and 0.32% in the corresponding quarter a year ago. 

 

The bank's provision coverage ratio at the end of June was 97.67%, and its capital adequacy ratio was 19.36%, lower than the 19.78% at the end of March, but higher than 18.28% at the end of June last year.  End
