✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Federal Bank reported a historic PAT of INR 1,007 crore in Q3 FY24, its first four-digit profit, driven by strong business momentum and strategic branch expansion. NII also reached an all-time high. The bank maintained robust asset quality despite a one-off corporate slippage of ~INR 70 crore, which is expected to upgrade in Q4. Management reiterated its focus on achieving a 1.4% ROA by end of 2024 and targeting 1.5% ROA over the next 18 months. Deposit growth remains a challenge due to high cost and structural shifts in NR deposits, but the bank aims to moderate its CD ratio to ~80% by calendar 2024. Risks include potential margin compression from rising deposit costs and regulatory changes like AIF provisioning. Overall, the bank is confident in sustaining growth and return ratios.
