o Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) at 134%
- Total Assets grow by Rs. 5 Bn
Cargills Bank's results for the nine months ended 30 September 2024 reflected a QoQ decline in profitability. Profit after tax at Rs. 159 Mn was lower by Rs. 273 Mn compared to the corresponding period of 2023. Net interest income of Rs. 2.499 Bn was a marginal decrease of Rs. 102 Mn in the nine months period compared with the corresponding period of 2023. The marginal reduction in NIM was due to the gradual reduction in market interest rates coupled with market volatility. The Bank continued to focus on repricing of deposits and advances to reflect the market conditions and to manage the NIM in an optimal manner.
Net fee and commission income of Rs. 622 Mn for the nine months ended 30 September 2024 recorded Rs. 32 Mn growth in comparison with the previous year. Concerted efforts to improve trade volumes, card-related fee income and improved remittance income were among the main contributory factors for this growth of 5% recorded.
Additionally, net gains from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss grew by Rs. 63 Mn to reach Rs. 241 Mn in the first nine months of 2024. Capital gains realized on derecognition of financial assets boosted other income streams by Rs. 336 Mn in the period under review to reach Rs. 504 Mn.
Total operating expenses increased by 14% from Rs. 2.140 Bn last year to Rs. 2.431 Bn. Personnel expenses increased by 24% largely due to adjustments to salary and welfare benefits considering increased costs of living and market conditions. Other operating expenses grew by 9% largely due to increased utility-related operating expenses and marketing costs.
Impairment charges totaling Rs. 811 Mn reflected an increase of 34% from Rs. 607 Mn in the nine months of 2023 owing to increased management overlay provisions recognized on selected customers on a proactive basis subsequent to a careful scrutiny of the status of borrowers. The Bank's Stage 3 Loans (net of Stage 3 Impairment) to Total Loans Ratio stood at 9.14% while Stage 3 Provision Cover was 48.24% as at 30 September 2024.
The Bank maintains Capital Adequacy and Liquid Assets Ratios well within the minimum requirements prescribed by the Central Bank. The Total Capital Ratio was at 22.24% while all liquidity related ratios were well above the regulatory minimum.
Total assets of the Bank as at 30 September at Rs. 74.7 Bn, an increase of 7% or Rs. 5 Bn during the nine months of the year. The loan book posted a moderate growth of 6%, from Rs. 40.6 Bn to Rs. 43.1 Bn, given conditions prevailing. Financial Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income grew by 29% to reach Rs. 23 Bn. Negative gain of Rs. 396 Mn was reflected in Other Comprehensive Income. Customer Deposits grew by 4% to Rs. 52.7 Bn at the reporting date from Rs. 50.7 Bn at the end of 2023 amidst continued reductions in market interest rates.
Mr. Richard Ebell who served on the Bank's Board as Chairman retired on 02 July 2024 in compliance with the Banking Act on Corporate Governance for licensed commercial banks issued by the Monetary Board of the Central Bank. Mr. Ebell completed nine years in the Bank Board having been appointed in 2015. Mr. Asoka Pieris, who served as Deputy Chairman was appointed as the Chairman of the Bank, with effect from July 3, 2024.

Classification of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Bank measures the fair value using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement.
• Level 1 : Fair value measurement using unadjusted quoted market prices
Inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical instruments.
• Level 2 : Fair value measurement using significant observable inputs
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using;
- quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments,
- quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered to be less active, or
- other valuation techniques in which almost all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
•Level 3 : Fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs
Inputs that are unobservable.
This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation.
Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Bank believes that a third party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction.

The Bank continued to reassess its individually significant loan portfolio as of 30 September 2024 and incorporate adequate impairment provisions on identified customer segments to reflect increased credit risk since initial recognition. Accordingly, the impairment provision also includes management overlays where higher impairment charges were considered as a prudential measure in assessing the elevated risk profiles of borrowers.
Additionally, the Bank revised the cash flow assumptions for customers who were previously impaired, ensuring that any deterioration in the credit quality of such customers has been appropriately addressed during the period.
The Bank estimated its Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for collective impairment as at the reporting date based on the updated Probability of Default flow rates as at 31 December 2023 and Economic Factor Adjustment (EFA) & Loss Given Default (LGD) values as at 30 September 2024.
The exchange impact on impairment charges on loans and advances denominated in foreign currency was recognised in Net Other Operating Income where the corresponding exchange gains/losses are recognised. - Income Tax - Year of Assessment 2013/2014
The Commissioner General of Inland Revenue (CGIR) issued a Notice of Assessment for the Year of Assessment 2013/2014. The Bank had appealed before the Court of Appeal and the Bank awaits the hearing of the Appeal from the Court of Appeal.
