Motilal Oswal Report
PNB Housing Finance Ltd.'s Q3 FY24 profit after tax grew 26% YoY but declined 12% QoQ to ~Rs 3.4 billion (~15% miss) due to net interest margin (excluding one-offs) compression of ~20 basis points QoQ.
Management attributed this to a combination of factors such as:
Corporate book decline,
Loan book retention to stem balance transfer-outs, and
Competitive dynamics resulting in lending at lower rates in select pockets.
Net interest income (excluding one-offs) declined ~1% YoY and 3% QoQ to ~Rs 6.2 billion due to a gradual shift in the mix towards retail.
However, reported NII declined ~19% YoY and ~10% QoQ to Rs 5.95 billion (11% miss). Reported pre-provision operating profit declined 26% YoY to Rs 5 billion (14% miss).
