March 19, 2022 (MLN): Bank Al-Habib Limited (BAHL) has recorded a consolidated net profit of Rs4.94 billion (EPS: Rs4.45) during the first quarter of the current calendar year, showing an increase of 6.58% YoY compared to Rs4.63bn (EPS: Rs4.17) in the corresponding period last year.

This muted growth in profitability is due to provision charges, however, net interest income (NII) and notable growth in non-funded income (NFI) supported the bottom line.

Going by the financial results, the bank’s interest income went up by 32% YoY while interest expenses surged by around 42% YoY, hence BAHL’s net interest income (NII) stood at Rs16bn, witnessing a jump of 22% YoY due to higher interest rates.

While non-funded income (NFI) of the bank observed a 29% YoY increase to Rs4.2bn. Improved transactional volumes and diversification of revenue streams supplemented a growth of 22% in fee income whereas dividend and capital gain increased by 3x and 40x YoY, respectively.

On the provision side, the bank reported a provision of Rs156mn in 1QCY22 when compared to a reversal of Rs245mn reported in 1QCY21, restricting its bottom line.

On the tax front, the effective tax rate stood at 40% from 35% in 1QCY21.
