Sri Lanka NDB Bank net up 135-pct Very Happy

Watch out! Don’t get carried away.

Profits at Sri Lanka's National Development Bank rose 135 percent from a year earlier to 1.19 billion rupees in the March 2014 quarter, amid positive loan growth, interim accounts showed.

How can the profit increase by 135% when a 6 percent loan and net interest income growth?
Interest income rose 3 percent to 5.1 billion rupees in the quarter and interest expenses fell 3 percent to 3.2 billion rupees and the bank grew net interest income 16 percent to 1.86 billion rupees.
Loan losses were 125 million rupees, up from 23 million rupees.
Then how can the profit increase by 135%?
Fee income rose 54 percent to 594 million rupees. Trading gains rose 68 percent to 716 million rupees.
Mr.R.T. the retired defunct MD of HNB tried the same thing at HNB.

Watch out! Don’t get carried away.

So, basically income has come from Fee Income and Trading Gains?

Thanks Schemer for sending the file.

I browsed the bank report quickly not the group results. Apparently, for comparison purpose other income recorded for both quarters are eliminated.

31.03.2014 31.03.2013 Change

Net Operating Income
3,056,728 8,039,959
Other Operating Income
(288,305) (6,054267)
Adjusted NOI
2,768,423 1,985,693 139%

The huge amount registered in 2013 as other operating income is the gain on disposal of insurance segment, (if I am not mistaken). Such type of transactions are not directly associated with bank core operational activities. Reinstate of numbers for interpreting the financial statements is must. Current presentation is in compliance with the listed requirements.
Comments please.

I don't think anything wrong with performance, see the Fees commission, and Trading Income of Comm, Samp & HNB as well, they also have considerable portion.

For last two to three year i saw the change in the NDB's platform, they targeted more on the retail segment, compare to the prior period.

Kindly note my investment in the banking sector mostly concentrate with Commercial.

Don't buy the share thinking the profit has increased by 135%.It is not sustainable.
