Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Prashant Kumar, Managing
Director & CEO, YES BANK said, “This quarter demonstrates a significant step in the RoA
expansion journey, with Q4FY24 RoA expanding to 0.5%. This is despite the one-off gains
from tax refunds, SR recoveries and ARC Sale, being prudently utilized for strengthening the
Asset Quality metrics- for instance, the NNPA + Net Carrying value of SRs have more than
halved over the course of the year to 1.1% from 2.4% in FY23.
Moreover, we continue to witness strong momentum in our liability franchise with growth in
Deposits expanding to over 20% Y-o-Y for first time in last 8 quarters. Importantly, despite
challenging environment during the course of the year, our CASA ratio has expanded 10 bps Y-
o-Y to 30.9%.
This quarter, the Bank continued to expand on its digital footprint with significant partnerships
reflecting the inherent strength in the capabilities and technology infrastructure of the Bank.
As the Bank embarks on the fifth year of this new journey, we remain focused on diligently
executing the RoA expansion roadmap.”
