Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd (KOTAKBANK) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The bank demonstrated steady performance with a focus on responsible scaling, reflected in a 16% YoY growth in net advances and a 15% YoY rise in total deposits, aligning with its strategy to grow 1.5 to 2 times the nominal GDP.
- Asset quality showed improvement, with the Gross NPA ratio declining to 1.39% from 1.48% sequentially and Net NPA ratio improving to 0.32% from 0.34%, supported by lower slippages.
- Net Interest Margin (NIM) stabilized at 4.54%, down 11 bps QoQ, primarily due to the full impact of the repo rate cut and a shift in asset mix, though this was partially offset by a 31 bps reduction in the cost of funds.
- The bank maintained strong cost control, with operating expenses remaining flat YoY and declining 3% sequentially, despite continued investments in technology and branch expansion.
- While the core banking business remained robust, the contribution from non-lending subsidiaries to consolidated profit decreased to 19% from 24% YoY, attributed to an exceptionally strong prior-year quarter for capital markets and a one-off GST impact on the insurance business.
