Prabhu Bank Limited (PRVU) has published its fourth-quarter report for the FY 2076/2077 with a decrease in Net Profit by 23.36%. The bank's net profit has decreased from Rs. 1.78 Arba in the fourth quarter of FY 2075/2076 to Rs. 1.36 Arba in the fourth quarter of FY 2076/2077.

As per the Management, due to the lockdown enforced by the government around the nation for a prolonged period, their core business revenue has been affected which had a severe impact on its financial performance. However, the management has adopted strategies to expand small and medium enterprises loans with effective management of assets and liabilities.

The bank has Rs. 1.08 Arba as a distributable profit after P/L appropriation and regulatory requirements in the fourth quarter. This means PRVU can distribute around 10% (approx.) dividends from the earnings of FY 2076/2077 if other regulatory requirements are not required. However, as per the NRB circular, the interest amount which cannot be recovered in Q4, of FY 2076/2077 can be shown in this year’s balance sheet if it is recovered till Q1 of FY 2077/2078. So, the distributable amount might be slightly changed.

The bank’s deposit from customers increased by 21.81% to Rs. 1.28 Kharba whereas loans and advances to customers increased by 16.16% to Rs. 99.69 Arba till the fourth quarter. The Net Interest Income (core business income) of the bank has increased by a meager 5.63% to Rs. 4.64 Arba compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

The bank’s paid-up capital stands at Rs. 10.31 Arba with Rs. 5.29 Arba in Reserve and surplus. The Non-performing loan (NPL) has decreased to 2.81% from 3.76%.
