South Indian Bank’s profitability strengthened in Q4 despite a rise in provisioning. Strong pre-provision profit, lower slippages, and better asset quality supported the performance. The bank’s gross NPA ratio declined by 130 basis points YoY to 3.20%, while net NPA improved to 0.92%.
On the lending side, total advances rose 8.9% YoY to Rs.87,579 crore, driven by a 13% expansion in the corporate loan book. With improved asset quality and expanding loan growth, the bank declared a 40% dividend for FY25.
Retail & SME Banking: Continued traction in secured lending helped reduce asset stress.
Corporate Loans: Healthy YoY growth of 13% reflects demand from infrastructure and manufacturing clients.
Provisions: Rise reflects conservative coverage strategy amid macro uncertainty.
Analysts expected steady asset quality improvement and moderate loan growth. The results outperformed estimates on profitability and PPOP strength. Market sentiment was also buoyed by improved GNPA levels and the bank’s ability to absorb higher provisions without impacting net earnings.
The management emphasised operational stability, balance sheet strength, and a clear focus on maintaining asset quality. FY26 will see increased focus on retail and SME penetration, digitisation, and sustainable earnings growth, while building resilience through conservative provisioning.
