October 16, 2024 (MLN): Soneri Bank Limited (PSX: SNBL) has revealed its financial statement today for quarter ended September 30, 2024, as per which the bank posted a profit worth Rs1.51 billion [EPS: Rs1.3727], depicting a drop of 6.47% compared to Rs1.62bn [EPS: Rs1.4677] profit earned in the same period last year (SPLY).

Going by the income statement, the bank witnessed an increase of 11.26% in its net interest income (NII) to stand at Rs6.65bn, compared to Rs5.98bn in SPLY.

The surge in NII is due to a jump in interest-earning (Rs31bn), up by around 20% YoY.

Conversely, the bank’s total non-markup income dropped by 8.64% YoY to Rs1.62bn.

On the expense side, the bank’s total non-markup expenses surged by 26.67% to Rs5bn in Q3 2024 compared to Rs3.95bn in Q3 2023.

The increase was attributed to the jump of 27.98% YoY in operating expenses.

On the other hand, SNBL’s expenses towards the Workers' welfare fund and other charges dropped during the review period.

In addition, the bank incurred a provision expense of Rs130.41m during the review period compared to Rs570.29m in the corresponding period last year.
