Karur Vysya Bank reported full-year FY25 net profit of Rs. 1,604.81 crore, down about 17% from Rs. 1,941.64 crore in FY24. Q4 FY25 net profit was Rs. 496.03 crore versus Rs. 513.36 crore in the year-ago quarter. Total income for the year was Rs. 11,768.52 crore, slightly lower than Rs. 11,936.74 crore last year. However, operating profit before provisions rose roughly 14% to Rs. 3,212.33 crore, lifting operating margin to about 27%. Asset quality weakened, with gross NPAs rising to 1.74% from 1.40% and net NPAs doubling to 0.40%. Capital adequacy ratio improved to 18.17%. The Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs. 2.60 per share (130%), up from Rs. 2.40 (120%) last year, subject to shareholder approval. Auditors gave an unmodified opinion.
Higher dividend signals management confidence despite a profit dip, but rising NPAs and a Rs. 2,537 crore GST show-cause notice (currently stayed by the Madras High Court) are key overhangs for shareholders. The improved operating efficiency and strong capital position offer support, though near-term sentiment may weigh on the stock due to weaker bottom line and asset quality slippage.
