IDFC First Bank reported a weak Q4 FY24-25 performance, with consolidated revenue rising to ₹9,343 crore, while net profit declined sharply by 58 percent YoY to ₹340 crore, mainly due to higher provisions and microfinance stress.
IDFC First Bank announced its consolidated financial results for Q4 FY24-25, posting a total income of ₹9,343 crore compared to ₹8,454 crore in Q4 FY24. However, the bank’s net profit declined to ₹340 crore from ₹810 crore a year earlier, largely impacted by increased provisioning and pressure on margins.
Revenue (Total Income): ₹9,343 Cr vs ₹8,454 Cr YoY (+10.5%)
Net Profit (PAT): ₹340 Cr vs ₹810 Cr YoY (-58%)
Interest Earned: ₹9,343 Cr
Other Income: ₹1,780 Cr
Operating Profit Before Provisions: ₹1,760 Cr
Total Expenditure: ₹9,362 Cr
Basic and Diluted EPS: ₹0.46
In Q4 FY24-25, IDFC First Bank experienced steady income growth but was impacted by higher credit costs arising mainly from stress in the microfinance portfolio. The operating performance remained stable, but increased provisions and contingencies led to a sharp decline in quarterly profitability.
Interest/Discount on Advances and Bills: ₹7,915 Cr
Income from Investments: ₹1,313 Cr
Interest on Balances with RBI and Interbank Funds: ₹29 Cr
Other Income: ₹1,780 Cr
Employee Costs: ₹1,614 Cr
Other Operating Expenses: ₹3,308 Cr
The results reflected broader sector trends where margin pressures and higher provisioning requirements affected profitability across several private banks. While overall deposit growth and retail traction remain positive, stress in the microfinance portfolio led to underperformance compared to expectations. Sector participants expect gradual recovery in profitability in FY26 as asset quality stabilises.
The management indicated that asset quality issues, especially in microfinance, are showing signs of stabilisation. The focus remains on strengthening the retail liability franchise, improving operating leverage, and maintaining disciplined cost control. The bank aims to improve Return on Assets (RoA) over the next two years while building a more resilient balance sheet.
