SBI Life delivered a solid Q3 FY24 with PAT of INR 10.8 billion (+15% YoY) and VNB of INR 40.4 billion (+11% YoY). Individual NBP grew 17% to INR 177.6 billion, with private market share expanding 184 bps to 29.1%. Growth was driven by ULIPs (57% of individual NBP) and strong group business (+31%). The VNB margin held at 28.1%, supported by repricing actions in non-par and protection segments. Management guided for ~15% APE growth in FY25 and maintained a 28% VNB margin target. Key risks include potential margin compression from surrender value regulation and rising competitive intensity in agency and banca channels.
SBI लाइफ ने Q3 FY24 में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का मुनाफा (PAT) 10.8 अरब रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल से 15% ज्यादा है। नए कारोबार का मूल्य (VNB) 40.4 अरब रुपये रहा, जो 11% बढ़ा। नए प्रीमियम (NBP) में 17% की बढ़ोतरी हुई और बाजार हिस्सेदारी 29.1% हो गई। यूनिट-लिंक्ड प्लान (ULIP) से सबसे ज्यादा कमाई हुई। कंपनी ने अगले साल 15% वृद्धि और 28% मार्जिन बनाए रखने का लक्ष्य रखा है। लेकिन सरेंडर वैल्यू नियमों और बढ़ती प्रतिस्पर्धा से मुनाफे पर दबाव आ सकता है।
