City Union Bank Profits Soar 16% Amidst Strong NII Growth

City Union Bank has announced its third-quarter financial results, revealing a stable performance marked by robust profit and income growth.

The bank's net profit experienced a significant increase of 16% year-on-year, reaching ₹332 crore for the quarter ending December 31, 2025. This marks an improvement from the ₹286 crore reported in the same period last year.

A key driver of this performance was the sharp 28% rise in net interest income, which grew to ₹752 crore from ₹587.7 crore in the prior year. This indicates strong core lending operations and effective balance sheet management.

Asset quality also showed sequential improvement during the quarter. Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) declined from 2.42% to 2.17%, and net NPAs eased from 0.90% to 0.78%, reflecting enhanced control over loan slippages and effective recovery processes.

The bank recognized an estimated provision of ₹2 crore under employee costs, linked to the anticipated implementation of new labor codes. City Union Bank stated it continues to monitor developments related to the labor code framework.
