Jyoti Vikas Bank Limited (JBBL) has unveiled its unverified financial results for the third quarter of FY 2082/83, showing a significant turnaround in its bottom line. The bank’s net profit soared to Rs. 62.94 crores, up from Rs. 30.66 crores in the same period last year—a staggering growth of 105.30%. This profit boost was primarily driven by a sharp reduction in impairment charges, which plummeted from Rs. 52.16 crores to Rs. 11.84 crores, alongside a 55.36% rise in total operating income. However, the report highlights underlying credit quality concerns as the bank’s Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio rose significantly from 4.98% to 7.83%. Furthermore, while the net profit is impressive, the bank’s distributable profit is currently Rs. 43.48 crores in the negative, indicating a constrained capacity for immediate dividend payouts. On the brighter side, the bank's Earnings Per Share (EPS) saw a healthy jump to Rs. 19.43, with a net worth per share standing at Rs. 163.43.
