NIM rises 2bp qoq, 38bp yoy
Margins during the quarter were at 2.58% as compared to 2.20% in the
corresponding quarter of the previous year. A significant decline in the cost of
funds to 9.18% as compared to 9.59% in the corresponding previous year period
and 9.29% in the sequential previous quarter coupled with increase in floating rate
loans to 40% of the total loan portfolio aided the company in registering a healthy
growth in NIM by 38bp yoy to 2.58%. Yields for the company have declined
marginally by 2bp yoy and 12bp qoq since the company has taken a PLR cut of
30bp for the quarter under consideration.

Stable NPA ratios
On the asset quality front, the Gross NPA ratio came in at 0.58% which declined
by 2bp qoq whereas the Net NPA ratio was stable at 0.32%. Provisions rose to
`34.4cr compared to `6.8cr for 3QFY2015 and `30.1cr for 2QFY2016. Also, the
Gross NPA ratio in the individual loan segment declined to 0.32% as compared to
0.33% in 2QFY2016. The gross and net non-performing assets ratios thus
improved marginally on a sequential basis.
The surge in provisions was firstly due to increase in standard asset provisions. The
company’s LAP portfolio has risen from 5.6% in 2QFY2016 to 6.4% in 3QFY2016
of the total loan book which requires higher standard asset provisions at 1% as
compared to Individual loans which are at 0.4%. Secondly, increase in provisions
is also due to bucket non-performing loans which have moved to the higher
category. The Provision Coverage Ratio declined to 45.2% in 3QFY2016 from
54.3% in 2QFY2016.
