  State Bank of India (SBI) reported PAT of Rs84 bn in Q3FY22 which grew by 62.3% YoY thereby continuing its strong profitability trend. Though major support to the bottom line came from the significant decline in the provisioning cost and contained OPEX. NII grew by slower pace of 6.5% YoY (17.0% in Q2FY22) due to low YoA of 7.6% in Q3FY22, while contained CoD helped to maintain NIM at last quarter level of 3.1%. Slippages at Rs23bn (slippages rate improved to 0.4% v/s 0.7% in previous quarter) remained contained and better recovery led 40 bps improvement in the GNPA of 4.5%. Stress appears low with restructuring assets at 120 bps, SMA of 16 bps of loans, while the bank also maintained healthy coverage ratio (PCR) at ~70%, providing comfort on the assets quality front. SBI carries a higher (85%) provisions coverage on corporate NPAs. Mgmt expects similar run rate of slippages rate and credit cost of ~70-80 bps for the next two fiscals.
