What the record says.
IndusInd Bank reported a challenging Q2 FY25 with PAT of INR 1,333 crore and ROA contracting to 1.0%, impacted by a cautious stance on unsecured lending and a deliberate increase in contingent provisions by INR 525 crore to fortify the balance sheet. NIM compressed to 4.08% due to a lower share of high-yielding microfinance assets and continued deposit mobilization. Management highlighted that microfinance disbursements were deliberately slowed (Q2 disbursements of INR 7,050 crore vs. normal run rate of INR 12,000-13,000 crore), leading to a 9% QoQ degrowth in the Bharat Financial loan book. Asset quality saw net slippages rise by INR 222 crore QoQ, primarily from microfinance, with 30-90 DPD increasing to 4%. Management expects a recovery in H2, driven by festive season and rural demand, but remains cautious. Key risk: further deterioration in microfinance asset quality could pressure credit costs beyond the guided 110-130 bps range.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects core credit cost (excluding incremental contingent provisions) to remain within the stated range of 110-130 bps for the full year.
- Disbursements in microfinance are expected to pick up in Q3 and Q4, supported by festive season and rural recovery, but may remain below full potential.
- Management expects vehicle finance disbursements to increase by ~10-11% QoQ to around INR 12,000 crore in Q3, driven by festive demand.
- Management believes the current ROA contraction to 1.0% is transitory and expects a return to normalized ROA once microfinance growth accelerates.
Risks flagged
- 30-90 DPD in microfinance rose to 4% and net slippages increased; further stress could push credit costs above guidance.
- Analysts questioned the rationale for creating a large contingent provision in an already weak quarter, suggesting it may signal deeper concerns.
- NIM fell to 4.08% due to microfinance degrowth and deposit growth; if high-yield assets don't recover, margins may stay low.
- Credit card NPL flows remain elevated at 7-8% with no improvement, though management says they have stabilized.
Key quotes
- We prioritized long-term sustainability over short-term earnings.
- I created the contingent provision so that I could take care of any unforeseen probability which may come in my book or take care of the ECL as and when it comes.
- I am very bullish on the microfinance segment, and I think you will see the stability coming in very soon.
