Kotak Mahindra Bank reported consolidated total income of Rs 1,07,563.70 crore for FY2026, up 4.4% from Rs 1,03,076.10 crore in FY2025. However, net profit after tax declined 12.8% to Rs 19,287.89 crore from Rs 22,125.99 crore. The PAT decline is partly attributed to lower exceptional gains - this year had Rs 367.79 crore gain from Infina Finance divestment versus Rs 3,803.40 crore from general insurance divestment last year. The bank achieved strong operating profit of Rs 29,525.32 crore (up from Rs 29,044.87 crore). Deposits grew to Rs 5,66,940 crore from Rs 4,94,707 crore. Joint statutory auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both consolidated and standalone financials. The board proposed dividend of Rs 0.65 per share (post-share split from Rs 5 to Rs 1 face value effective January 2026).
The 12.8% PAT decline despite revenue growth indicates pressure on profitability, largely due to reduced exceptional gains and higher operating costs. However, strong deposit growth and operating profit expansion are positives. The clean audit report provides comfort on financial reporting quality.
