Strong quarterly gains boost bottom line

Ujjivan Small Finance Bank delivered a robust financial performance in Q3 FY26, clocking a 10.1 percent year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to Rs 1,751.9 crore and a 16.1 percent rise in total income to Rs 2,047.4 crore. The net profit soared 71 percent YoY to Rs 185.7 crore, building on the Rs 121.7 crore recorded in Q2 and Rs 108.6 crore in Q1. Revenue and profit growth were attributed to higher net interest income and a sharp surge in other income, which grew 71.6 percent YoY to Rs 295.5 crore.

On a quarter-on-quarter basis, net profit rose 52.6 percent, while revenue expanded 4.1 percent. Operating profit before provisions stood at Rs 439.8 crore, up 11.3 percent sequentially. Total expenses rose moderately by 4.2 percent QoQ to Rs 1,607.6 crore, with employee cost growing to Rs 473.8 crore from Rs 435.5 crore in Q2. The Q3 performance also included a Rs 18.3 crore provision towards new labour code compliance, which was absorbed without denting profitability.

Management insights and performance drivers

While no formal management commentary was included in the report, key drivers of performance included growth in the retail loan book and improvement in fee-based income. The bank’s earnings per share (basic) rose to Rs 0.96 in Q3 from Rs 0.63 in Q2 and Rs 0.56 in Q1. Asset quality remained stable with Gross NPA at 2.38 percent versus 2.45 percent in Q2, and Net NPA improving to 0.57 percent. Capital adequacy stood strong at 21.62 percent.

Nine-month snapshot and outlook

Despite the YoY dip in cumulative profits, Q3 results indicate strong recovery momentum heading into the final quarter.
