  • JKBK reported PAT of INR302m in 1QFY18 (+32% YoY on a low base), after three consecutive quarters of losses. Adjusted for excess provisions made by the bank (which it created from DTAs recognized), PAT came in at INR2.7b.
  • Slippages of INR5.1b (22% decline from INR6.5b in 4Q) were partly offset by strong recoveries and upgrades of INR1.9b. Gross/net slippage ratio stood at 4.1%/2.5% v/s 5.2%/2.8% in 4QFY17. Steep provisioning helped increase PCR, leading to a 7% QoQ decline in NNPAs (4.3% v/s 4.6% of advances in 4Q), with an increase in reported PCR to 70.26% from 66.9% in 4Q. GNPA stood at 10.6%. Standard restructured loans stood at INR55.5b (11% of loans). S4A book stood at INR2.45b at the end of the quarter.
  • NII grew ~13% YoY (+9% QoQ), led by sharp improvement in NIM to 3.7% (+20bp QoQ, +32bp YoY), even as loan book was flat YoY and declined 2% QoQ. NIM improved on the back of 37bp/36bp QoQ/YoY increase in spreads, as the bank's cost of funds declined 22bp/65bp QoQ/YoY.
  • Total income growth of 6%/10% QoQ/YoY was partially offset by opex growth of 13% YoY (-10% QoQ on one-off high base), resulting in 33%/5% QoQ/YoY PPoP growth.
