MUMBAI – IDBI Bank Ltd.'s net profit for the September quarter fell sharply on a high base due to a one-off gain in the year-ago quarter from its stake sale in the National Securities Depository Ltd. The lender posted a provision for the quarter under review against their reversal a year ago, which also weighed on the bottom line.
The bank posted a net profit of INR 22.05 billion for the September quarter, down over 39% on year, but up 4.27% on quarter. In the year-ago period, the lender had posted a one-off gain of INR 16.99 billion from the sale of its stake in NSDL. Excluding this one-off gain, the on-year increase in net profit for the September quarter of the current year is 14%, IDBI Bank said in a press release.
The lender's provisions and contingencies for Jul-Sept were INR 85.5 million against a reversal worth INR 6.53 billion a year ago. Its total expenses rose nearly 15% on year to INR 69.73 billion, which also dragged down its profitability. On a sequential basis, expenses rose nearly 9%.
