GTBank Plc, Q3 2020 Unaudited Financial statement shows a 3 percent Year-on-Year (YonY) drop in Profit After Tax (PAT) for the period ended September 2020. Analysis of the result revealed that a 13 percent YonY rise in Operating Expenses (Opex) to N112.4 billion and a 267 percent YonY increase in Credit Impairment Charges to N10.14 billion fueled the dip in the Bank’s bottom-line Profit for the nine months ended September 2020.
The Bank’s Net Interest Income grew by 10 percent YonY to N189.7 billion. The growth in Interest Income was occasioned by a 25 percent YonY drop in Interest Expenses to N38.49 billion for the period, from N51.25 billion for the corresponding period in 2019. While Interest Income was flat at N219 billion.
Non-Interest Income also however grew marginally to N100.2 billion in the nine months of 2020 from N100.1 billion in the same period of 2019. The decline of 23 percent YonY in Net Fee and Commission Income (N37.4 billion in Q3 2020 from N48.4 billion in Q3 2019) was compensated for by Gains on Financial Assets and Other Income.
The positive growth in the top-line Interest Income and the flat growth in Non-Interest Income, were not able to dovetail positively into the bottom line because of the significant rise on the Bank’s Opex and Credit Impairment Charges for the period ended September 2020.
