Turning to the bank’s financial performance, Srinivasan highlighted positive indicators in the fourth-quarter results.
He clarified that despite some numerical complexities due to a one-time pension impact of ₹162 crore, the quarter showcased strong operational metrics such as expanded net interest margins (NIMs) and net interest incomes (NIIs), alongside robust credit and deposit growth.
For the fourth quarter, the bank witnessed a 15% rise in its Net Interest Income (NII), which stood at ₹2,195.1 crore in Q4 compared to ₹1,909.3 crore in the same period of the previous financial year.
Federal Bank’s slippages reached 13-quarter low, alongside an improvement in Net Interest Margin (NIM) exceeding expectations.
The bank attributed quarter’s operational strength to factors such as a provision write-back, a first-time occurrence in over nine years, which supported the bank’s bottom line.
Looking forward, Srinivasan foresees a loan growth of approximately 18-20% for the financial year 2025.
Additionally, he expressed confidence in Federal Bank’s ability to regain momentum in acquiring Current Account Savings Account (CASA) deposits.
