IDFC First Bank reported Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) net profit of Rs. 463 crore, down 32% year-on-year but up 52% sequentially. The YoY profit decline was mainly driven by higher provisions of Rs. 1,659 crore, largely due to slippages in the microfinance segment, with credit cost rising to ~2.0% from ~1.8% in FY25. Customer deposits grew strongly by 25.5% YoY to Rs. 2,56,799 crore, while loans and advances rose 21% YoY to Rs. 2,53,233 crore, led by mortgage, vehicle, business banking, MSME and wholesale loans. Asset quality showed a slight deterioration with gross NPA at 1.97% (vs 1.87% in March 2025) and net NPA at 0.55%, though PCR remained healthy at 72.3%. NIM compressed 24 bps QoQ to 5.71% due to repo rate pass-through and asset mix changes, and the bank announced a Rs. 7,500 crore capital raise which would lift CRAR to 17.60% from the current 15.01%.
Mixed quarter for shareholders: strong deposit and loan growth signals a healthy franchise, but the sharp YoY profit decline and rising NPAs in microfinance may weigh on sentiment in the near term. The Rs. 7,500 crore capital raise is a significant positive that strengthens the balance sheet and supports future growth, while management expects margins and MFI issues to improve by H2 FY26.
