5 out of 7 banks perform well in first 9 months

Five private banks saw a rise in their profits while two registered a fall in the first nine months of the current year.

The seven banks – Al Arafah Islami Bank, IFIC Bank, Premier Bank, Eastern Bank, Bank Asia, Uttara Bank, Exim Bank – disclosed their financial statements of the January-September period on Wednesday.

Al Arafah Islami Bank

During the July-September period this year, Al Arafah Islami Bank suffered a loss of Tk29 crore because its default loans soared. And the loss per share was Tk0.27.  

Mohammad Nadem, chief financial officer of the bank told The Business Standard that the bank witnessed the loss in the third quarter due to rising default loans. 

In the January-September period of this year, the bank's earning per share (EPS) was Tk0.24 because its profit declined by 68 percent to Tk26 crore compared to that in the same period last year. 

Last year during that time the net profit was Tk77 crore and the EPS was Tk0.72. 

The bank was compelled to keep Tk148 crore of provisioning against non-performing and bad loans that ultimately eroded its profit base, said Nadem. 

Besides, liquid money in the bank also increased. After the end of September, liquid money per share stood at Tk10.72 compared to Tk0.05 during the same time last year.

The bank's top official said the bank's liquid money increased as they brought back Tk679 crore deposited with other banks and financial institutions, and its lending was Tk373 crore less than the amount in the same period last year.

In the previous year, the profit was Tk200 crore and the EPS was Tk2.46.

In the first nine months of the current year, the bank's net profit stood at Tk226 crore which was 12 percent more than the amount during the same period last year. The EPS was Tk1.94. 

Last year, the net profit was Tk202 and the EPS was Tk1.73 during the same time.
