Ratio Analysis for RBL BANK

• Efficiency Ratios

  Credit/Deposit Ratio: The bank's credit/deposit ratio deteriorated and stood at 81.2x during FY24, from 82.7x during FY23. The credit/deposit ratio tells us how much money a bank has raised in the form of deposits and has deployed as loans.

  Debt to Equity Ratio: The bank's debt to equity ratio increased and stood at 7.99x during FY24, from 7.30x during FY23. The debt to equity ratio of a bank tells us how much debt a bank uses relative to its equity.

• Liquidity Ratios

  Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): RBL BANK's capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was at 0.0% as on 31 March 2024 as compared to 16.9% a year ago. This ratio helps measure the financial strength of the bank or any finance company to meet their obligations using their assets and capital.

  A bank that has a good CAR has enough capital to absorb potential losses. Thus, it has less risk of becoming insolvent and losing depositor's money.

  Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR): Apart from CAR, you also need to take a look at the bank's PCR and LCR ratios. Provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) is the percentage of funds that a bank sets aside for covering losses due to bad debts.

  So a high PCR ratio means asset quality issues are under control and the bank is not vulnerable.

  Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): The LCR is designed to ensure that banks hold a sufficient reserve of high-quality liquid assets to allow them to survive a period of significant liquidity stress lasting 30 calendar days.

• Profitability Ratios

  Return on Equity (ROE): The return on equity (ROE) ratio for the bank improved and stood at 8.6% during FY24, from 6.8% during FY23. The ROE measures the ability of a firm to generate profits from its shareholders capital in the company.

  Return on Assets (ROA): The return on asset (ROA) ratio of the bank improved and stood at 0.91% during FY24, from 0.79% during FY23. The ROA measures how efficiently the company uses its assets to generate earnings.

  Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): The ROCE for the bank improved and stood at 8.43% during FY24, from 7.50% during FY23. The ROCE measures the ability of a bank to generate profits from its total capital (shareholder capital plus debt capital) employed in the bank.

• NPA Ratios

  Gross NPA Ratio: The gross NPA ratio is the ratio of a bank's gross NPAs to gross advances. RBL BANK's gross NPA ratio stood at 0.0% as of 31 March 2024 compared to 3.4% in the same period a year ago.

  A high gross NPA ratio is a bad thing as it indicates how much of a bank's loans are in danger of not being repaid.

  Net NPA Ratio: In simple language, net NPAs are simply the total non-performing assets minus the provision left aside. It gives you the exact value of NPAs after the bank has made provisions.

  The net NPA ratio of RBL BANK was 0.0% in financial year 2024. This compared with 1.1% a year ago.
