Bank of Baroda Q2 results: Net profit rises 24%

 



Bank of Baroda
 reported a 24 per cent growth in standalone net profit mainly due to a 23 per cent increase in other income which includes fees and bad loan recoveries and helped by a fall in provisions as bad loans decreased year on year.

Net Profit of Rs 2,088 crore in the quarter ended September 2021 from Rs 1,679 crore a year earlier. Other income increased to Rs 3,579 crore from Rs 2910 crore last year.

The rise in other income made up for the tepid growth in net interest income (NII) which is the main income the bank earns by giving loans. NII increased 2 per cent to Rs 7566 crore largely as the cost of deposits fell to 3.52 per cent in September 2021 from 3.99 per cent a year ago and covered up for a 6 per cent fall in total interest earned.

A 2 per cent year-on-year fall in provisions also helped the bank's bottom line. Provisions fell to Rs 2754 crore from Rs 2811 crore a year ago and was lower than the Rs 4005 crore reported in June 2021.

Gross NPA ratio improved to 8.11 per cent in September 2021 from 9.14 per cent a year ago.
CEO Sanjiv Chadha said the worst of slippages was over and asset quality trends will only become better.

“We had guided for credit costs of 1.5% to 2% with likely trends on the lower of the range as we are sticking to our guidance this year ... credit costs have come down, recoveries have improved and margins have been steady,” Chadha said.

Recoveries increased to 3,246 crore including 1,246 crore from written-off accounts and higher than the total recoveries of 1,981 crore reported in the same quarter last year. As with other major banks, BoB was helped by a 877-crore recovery from DHFL.

Total loan book increased 2% to 7.34 lakh crore from 7.19 lakh crore a year earlier mainly due to a 10% rise in retail loans led by a 33% growth in personal loans and a 23% growth in auto loans. Corporate loan book remained flat after a 10% drop in the first quarter ended June.

Chadha said though the corporate growth has been tepid for more than a year, he expects some demand to come in the second half of the fiscal as sectors like cement, steel, green energy and electric vehicles expand capacities.

Retail mortgages make up 64% of the bank’s 1.35 lakh total retail loans with high growth businesses like personal loans making less than 5% of the book.

Chadha expects the bank’s loan growth to be close to double digits this year led by growth in retail loans and the bank will continue to grow the high-risk auto and personal loan businesses with caution using credit appraisals, and will have a preference for its own customers than outsiders.

Bandhan Bank posts huge loss in Q2 as bad loans surge


Private sector lender Bandhan Bank on Friday reported a whopping net loss of Rs 3,008.59 crore for the second quarter this fiscal, on the back of Rs 5,577.92-crore provisions as the lender saw a huge surge in bad loans.


In absolute terms, non-performing assets (NPAs) of the bank, which had posted a net profit of Rs 920 crore in the second quarter last fiscal, soared 10-fold year-on-year to Rs 8,763.60 crore in the second quarter this fiscal from Rs 873.97 crore in the year-ago period. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, NPAs grew 36% from Rs 6,440.38 crore in the first quarter.


During the period under review, the bank made an accelerated provision on NPA accounts of around Rs 1,500 crore. It also provided an additional standard assets provision amounting to Rs 2,100 crore and provision on restructured assets amounting to Rs 1,030 crore.


Addressing a virtual press meet, Bandhan Bank MD & CEO Chandra Shekhar Ghosh said, “It was a very critical quarter. But not just for us, everyone is undergoing the same. We recognised this reality and strengthen our balance sheet to be prepared for the future business. All stresses are assessed and finalised in this moment. And then, the bank made a one-time additional provision. This quarter total provisioning was Rs 5,578 crore.


 Due to such provisioning, the bank has reported a loss of around Rs 3,000 crore in this quarter...it is not a loss, it is like taking some break comfortably, so that from today, we can only focus on business growth and quality of the portfolio.”


Ghosh said the bank believed that this provisioning should be “sufficient” to take care of any previous asset quality issues on account of the ongoing pandemic as well as protect it against the disruptions caused by any potential third wave.


During the second quarter this fiscal, the bank’s gross NPAs as a percentage of total loans increased 964 basis points on year-on-year basis to 10.82% from 1.18% during the same quarter last fiscal. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the gross NPA ratio soared 264 bps from 8.18% in Q1FY22.
