JKSB Quarterly Highlights_Seylan Bank PLC_1QCY16

​During the quarter, SEYB's loan book expanded from Rs.193.1 bn to 201.3 bn (+Rs.8.2 bn) which translates to a growth of 4.3% QoQ (+29.7% YoY). Despite the strong loan book growth, SEYB's net interest income (NII) experienced a modest increase of 4.8% YoY due to the steep reduction seen in the net interest margin (NIM) from 4.49% in 1Q CY15 to 3.85% in 1Q CY16.

Non-interest income was severely affected by a net trading loss of Rs.516.9 mn which was a result of the marked-to-market losses in SEYB's bond portfolio caused by the adverse interest rate movements during the quarter. Although the strong growth of 23.6% YoY (+Rs.132.3 mn) in net fee & commission income and 33.0% YoY (+Rs.70.7 mn) in net exchange income partially offset the negative impact of the net trading loss, SEYB's non-interest income for the quarter declined by 37.1% YoY (-52.6% QoQ). As a result, the proportion of non-interest income in total operating income declined from 24.9% in 1Q CY15 to 16.6% in in 1Q CY16.
