BoB Q4FY25 Earnings Overview

Bank of Baroda posted a net profit of ₹5,048 crore for the March quarter, marking a 3.2% increase compared to the same period last year. The uptick in profitability was largely supported by a sharp rise in non-core income.

Other income surged 24% year-on-year to ₹5,210 crore, lending a significant boost to the bank’s bottom line. However, core income took a hit. Net Interest Income (NII) — the primary revenue stream for the bank — declined 6.6% to ₹11,019 crore, falling short of CNBC-TV18’s estimate of ₹11,678 crore.

On the asset quality front, there were modest improvements. Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) eased to 2.26%, down from 2.43% in the previous quarter. Net NPAs remained largely stable, inching down to 0.58% from 0.59%.

Provisions rose sharply during the quarter, amounting to ₹1,552 crore compared to ₹1,082 crore in Q3. Gross slippages also edged up to ₹3,159 crore from ₹2,915 crore in the previous quarter. Loan write-offs increased to ₹1,662 crore from ₹1,167 crore.

Despite the pressure on interest income, Net Interest Margins (NIMs) for Q4 improved to 3.27%, compared to 2.86% a year earlier. However, on a full-year basis, NIMs dropped to 3.02% in FY25 from 3.18% in FY24 — the lowest level in 14 quarters.

Credit growth remained healthy. The bank's advances grew 12.8% year-on-year, while deposits expanded by 10.9% during the March quarter.
