Yes Bank reported a robust 55.4% year-on-year profit jump to ₹952 crore for the December quarter, boosted by a sharp 91.5% reduction in provisions. Net interest income grew 11% to ₹2,466 crore, while asset quality remained stable with gross NPAs at 1.5%.

Yes Bank Ltd. posted a substantial 55.4% year-on-year increase in net profit for the third quarter, reaching ₹952 crore from ₹612 crore in the same period last year.

Profit Boosted by Provision Reduction

The significant profit jump was primarily fueled by a steep 91.5% decline in provisions, which fell to ₹21.9 crore from ₹259 crore a year ago. This reduction in funds set aside for potential loan losses greatly aided the bank's bottom line.

Stable Core Operations and Asset Quality

Net interest income, the bank's core revenue stream from lending, saw a healthy 11% rise to ₹2,466 crore, up from ₹2,224 crore year-on-year. This indicates stable performance in its primary banking operations. Asset quality metrics remained steady, with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) improving marginally to 1.5% from 1.6% in the previous quarter. Net NPAs were flat at 0.3% sequentially.
