October 30, 2024 (MLN): The National Bank of Pakistan (PSX: NBP) reported a significant decline in its financial performance for the third quarter, with net profit dropping by over 75% to Rs3.09 billion [EPS: Rs1.39], compared to Rs12.38bn [EPS: Rs5.78] in the same period last year (SPLY).

The primary reason for the decline in the National Bank's profit was a substantial 29.44% drop in net interest income.

Conversely, the bank’s total non-markup income improved by 94.75% YoY to Rs13.18bn, owing to a rise in securities gains and fee and commission income.

Nonetheless, total income decreased by 13.97%, driven by a nearly Rs14 billion drop in interest income.

On the expense side, the NBP’s total non-markup expenses increased by 34.94% to Rs29.36bn in Q3 CY24.

NBP's provision expense decreased by 68.48%, falling to Rs2.91 billion from Rs9.24 billion recorded in Q3 CY23.

During the period, the bank paid Rs11.38bn in terms of taxation.
