Commenting on the performance, Mr. Baskar Babu, MD & CEO, Suryoday Small Finance Bank, said: "We are happy to share that FY24 has been a good year for the bank, with growth in all areas such as advances, deposits, and profitability. Gross Advances grew by 41.5% to Rs 8,650 crore* in FY24, against the corresponding period last year. The growth is driven by continued focus on key businesses, i.e., Inclusive Finance, Commercial Vehicle, and LAP. The Vikas Loan portfolio has surpassed an AUM of Rs 2,600 crore, demonstrating a growth of over 118% over the previous financial year. Vikas Loan, which in effect is the individual loan product for graduating group loan customers, now constitutes over 53% of the Inclusive Finance portfolio.
The Bank’s disbursement increased from Rs 5,083 crore in FY23 to Rs 6,919 crore in FY24, a growth of 36.1% on a YoY basis, with Vikas Loan and Commercial Vehicle Loans contributing substantially to the growth. Overall deposits increased from Rs 5,167 crore in FY23 to Rs 7,777 crore in FY24. The Bank continues to remain focused on building a granular retail deposit book. The retail deposits to total deposit ratio improved from 73.1% in FY23 to 78.8% in FY24. CASA as a percentage of overall deposits stood at 20.1% in Mar’24 versus 17.1% during Mar’23. In terms of asset quality, the GNPA stood at 2.8%^ at the end of FY24, down from 3.1% in FY23. Net NPA was 0.82%^ in FY24, compared to 1.5% in FY23. The bank continues to cover the eligible unsecured portfolio under the CGFMU scheme to mitigate any unforeseen risks.
On the profitability front, the bank’s net interest income grew by 28.9% to Rs 962.2 crore in FY24, versus the same period last year. During the year gone by, the PPOP has registered a 34.5% growth to Rs 453.9 crore. The bottom line saw an improvement from Rs 77.7 crore in FY23 to Rs 216.0 crore in FY24.
Going forward, our strategy would be to transition from predominantly being a micro-lender to becoming a micro-banker for low-income households with a sharp focus on going deeper into existing geographies and continuing to provide holistic banking services to our customers. Going granular on both the lending and deposit sides would be the key enabler to achieving our core strategy."
