Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Prashant Kumar, Managing Director & CEO, YES BANK said, “Q3FY25 is the fifth quarter in a row where the Bank has demonstrated sustained sequential expansion in profitability. The RoA of the Bank has also expanded to 0.6% from 0.5%, reported over the last 3 quarters. It is quite encouraging that we have also started seeing expansion in our Operating Profitability.

Two distinct trends which I think are important to highlight in terms of trajectory of the Bank’s profitability going forward are, 1) reduction in balances of deposits placed in lieu of PSL shortfalls to 8.5% of Assets this quarter, from 10.4% of Assets in Q2FY25, and 2) fresh slippages in Retail Segment remaining flat on Q-o-Q basis. Both of these are in line with our earlier guidance, and while one of the factors is likely to aid expansion in Net Interest Margins and Operating Profits, the other may likely result in reduction of gross credit costs.

Other key vectors of the Bank continue to post encouraging trends in line with our strategic objectives. The Deposits momentum sustained with around 15% Y-o-Y growth, wherein the Avg. Balances recorded a higher 15.7% Y-o-Y and 2.3% Q-o-Q growth. Outperformance to Industry continued on CASA acquisition, with CA and SA deposits growing 21.1% Y-o-Y and 33.3% Y-o-Y respectively and the Avg. balances recording a similar growth. On the Advances front, SME and Mid Corporate segments maintained 25%+ Y-o-Y growth trajectory, while strategic reorientation continued in the Retail segment, aimed at profitability improvement. Q3FY25 was another strong quarter of Fee Income performance, aided by the granular and transactional fee streams. Asset Quality also further improved with (NNPA + Net Carrying Value of SRs) now at 0.6%.”
