    Further, during the year, the liquidity mopping up operations were relatively on reduced scale and hence the interest expense registered a substantial decline.

    The total assets stood at Rs.12,273 billion as at June 30, 2020 as compared to Rs.11,467 billion on June 30, 2019, registering an increase of Rs.806 billion primarily due to increase in foreign currency accounts and investments.

    Alongside result, the bank announced a cash dividend of Rs4.0 share.

    Analysts at Topline said that the result came in higher than our expectations due to lower than expected profit expensed on deposits, which is most likely driven by continued focus on Current Account growth and possible re-pricing of maturing Term Deposits.

    Profit earned on assets depicted a decline of 9 percent Quarter on Quarter (QoQ). Along with lower interest rates, 1 percent QoQ decline in industry loans amidst slowdown in economic activity has been the cause of the decline.

    Profit expensed on deposits substantially declined by 22 percent QoQ amidst re-pricing of liabilities to lower interest/profit rates, where non applicability of Minimum Deposit Rate (MDR) on Islamic banks would have also contributed.

    As a result, Net Spread Earned declined by just 1 percent QoQ.

    Other Income showed resurgence with a jump of 17 percent QoQ driven by increase in Fee Income growth of 49 percent QoQ as branch operation resumed after lifting of COVID-19 lockdown.

    Despite the branch expansion strategy, other expenses were kept in check (down 0.1 percent QoQ). Cost to Income for the quarter stood at 40 percent.
