✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
RBL Bank reported a strong Q4 FY26 with net profit of ₹230 crore (vs ₹69 crore YoY), driven by 23% YoY advances growth and improved asset quality. Secured retail assets grew 36% YoY, while credit card slippages remained elevated at ₹580 crore but are expected to normalize in H2 FY27. The bank crossed 600 branches and received regulatory approvals for the Emirates NBD capital infusion, which will strengthen capital ratios. NIM compressed 22bps due to repo rate cuts and mix shift, but management expects stabilization in Q1 and improvement thereafter. Key risk: credit card slippages may persist longer than anticipated, delaying profitability recovery.

We crossed a total business of 2.5 lakh cr during the quarter.
We have now clear visibility that the slippages that we have is a matter of H1 at max and we should materially reduce slippages in H2.
The incoming capital infusion from ENBD further strengthens our ability to accelerate the growth while remaining firmly focused on long-term profitability and resilience.
