- The bank expects improvements in profitability as credit costs normalize; historically, when credit costs were normal, ROA was around 2% (Page 12). - PPOP grew 6% YoY and PPOP to assets remained stable at 2.94% for the quarter; with disbursement picking up, these ratios should improve (Page 4). - Operating expenditure increased but non-employee costs are being controlled; longer term, cost-to-income ratio expected to decline after 2-3 years of investments in new products (Pages 4, 8). - The bank is investing in new products such as personal loans, credit cards, and AD-1, which may pressure costs in the short term but expected to stabilize over time (Page 8). - Credit cost of non-microfinance portfolio is comfortable at 1.04% for H1 and expected to improve further; microfinance stress may remain for 2 more quarters (Page 3). - Overall, bank aims for growth through flagship small business loan segment and expanded branch network (Pages 15, 18).
