Kotak Mahindra Bank Q1 results: Net profit down 47% YoY to Rs 3,282 crore, GNPA at 1.48% vs 1.39% QoQ
Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a 47.5% year-on-year (YoY) decline in net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with Q1 FY26 profit standing at Rs 3,281.68 crore compared to Rs 6,249.82 crore in Q1 FY25. The sharp fall is primarily due to the absence of exceptional gains booked in the same quarter last year. Net Interest Income (NII) grew 6% YoY to Rs 7,259 crore from Rs 6,843 crore, reflecting steady growth in lending and core banking operations. Total income rose to Rs 16,916 crore from Rs 15,675 crore YoY. Operating profit (before provisions) rose to Rs 5,563.69 crore from Rs 5,254.11 crore in the previous year. Provisions and contingencies, however, jumped to Rs 1,207.76 crore from Rs 578.48 crore YoY, impacting the bank's profitability. Asset quality weakened slightly: Gross NPA: Rs 6,637.70 crore (1.48%) vs Rs 5,477.15 crore (1.39%) QoQ Net NPA: Rs 1,530.93 crore (0.34%) vs Rs 1,376.33 crore (0.35%) QoQ Despite steady growth in core income, the YoY profit decline was driven by the high base effect of last year's Rs 3,519.90 crore exceptional gain.
