Dolat Capital Report
ICICI Bank Ltd. reported a good set of numbers with sequential expansion in net interest margin to 4%, healthy loan growth at 5.5% QoQ, and lower than expected credit costs aiding strong return on assets of 2.1% for the quarter.
Credit costs benefitted from negative net slippages led by a large corporate recovery even as the bank provided additional Rs 10 billion as contingency provisions.
However, growth in core fee income was weaker than expected at 14% YoY/2% QoQ, partly offset by lower than expect opex.
ICICI Bank's asset quality metrics continue to improve. Gross non-performing asset declined by 53 basis points QoQ to 3.6%, aided by negative net slippages at 2% and strong recoveries.
Restructured book declined by 20 bps QoQ to 1%, with 30% provision coverage ratio against the book.
