  • 4QFY17 PAT rose 55% YoY (10% miss). Despite PPoP beat of 8% (+75%/20% YoY/QoQ), the spike in provisioning led to PAT exceeding estimate. Key positives: a) Loan growth of 10% QoQ and 39% YoY. b) Fee income growth of 45% YoY and 33% QoQ. c) NIM improvement of 10bp QoQ to 3.5%.

The remaining one account (EPC sector) amounted to INR660m (22bp impact on GNPA), 50% of which has been provided for in Q4. Adjusted for this, GNPAs would have been at 0.98% (stable YoY).
