India's HDFC Bank reports 12.2% profit growth in Q1 due to higher interest income
(Reuters) -HDFC Bank, India's largest private bank by market capitalisation, reported higher-than-expected quarterly profit on Saturday due to a surge in interest income from loans and treasury gains, even as provisions for bad loans spiked. The bank's standalone net profit rose 12.2% to 181.55 billion rupees ($2.11 billion) in the April-to-June quarter, above the average analyst forecast of 172.84 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG. The bank's net interest income - the difference between interest earned on loans and paid on deposits - rose 5.4% to 314.38 billion rupees. Other income, typically backed by treasury gains and fees on services, more than doubled to 217.29 billion rupees in the quarter. HDFC Bank's provisions for bad loans, however, jumped five-fold to 144 billion rupees. The bank, in its exchange filing, said most of these provisions were not linked to any actual bad loans but instead acted as a "countercyclical buffer for making the balance sheet more resilient." Indian lenders have been grappling with an increase in bad loans in segments such as microfinance and unsecured portfolio, which have forced them to set aside more funds for potential defaults and to strengthen their balance sheets. On Thursday, HDFC Bank peer Axis Bank saw its new bad loans double due to a market benchmarking exercise. While overall bank credit growth has slowed in India, HDFC Bank posted growth of 6.7% for its overall loan book, driven by a 17.1% rise in loans to small and medium businesses. The private lender also approved its first ever bonus share issue on Saturday, meaning each of its shareholders will be eligible to receive an extra bonus share for every share held. The date of issuance is still to be determined, the bank said. In a bonus issue, a company distributes additional stock to shareholders as a proportion of their holdings at no cost. It is typically a sign of confidence in financial performance and growth trajectory. The board has also approved a special dividend of 5 rupees per share.

HDFC Bank announces 1:1 bonus issue, record date set for August 27
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 19, 2025, 15:12 IST HDFC Bank has announced a bonus issue of equity shares in the ratio of 1:1 — meaning shareholders will receive one additional fully-paid equity share of ₹1 each for every share they hold as of the record date. The bank's Board of Directors approved the bonus issue at its meeting held on July 19, 2025. The bonus shares will be issued out of the Securities Premium Account as of June 30, 2025. The record date for determining eligibility for the bonus issue is Wednesday, August 27, 2025. The bonus shares are expected to be credited or dispatched within two months of the board's approval, on or before September 18, 2025. Post-issue, the bank's issued, subscribed, and paid-up share capital will double from approximately ₹767 crore to over ₹1,533 crore, reflecting the increased number of equity shares. According to the bank's filing, approximately 76.68 crore equity shares of ₹1 each will be issued as bonus shares, though the exact number may vary slightly due to stock options or restricted stock units exercised before the record date. The bonus issue is subject to statutory and regulatory approvals, as well as shareholder approval via a postal ballot. This move reflects HDFC Bank's confidence in its financial strength and aims to enhance liquidity and investor participation in its stock.
