8
Cost-to-Income Ratio (CTIR): Relatively high compared to larger banks, suggesting potential
for operational cost optimization.
CASA Ratio: Steadily increasing, reaching 38.43%, indicating a growing reliance on lower-
cost current and savings accounts for funding.
Liquidity:
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR): Managed within the regulatory limit of 85%, ensuring
adequate liquidity to meet loan demand.
Trends:
Profitability remains stable with a declining NIM, requiring attention.

Operational efficiency needs improvement, as evidenced by the high CTIR.
Liquidity is well-managed within regulatory limits.
Overall:
AU SFB presents a mixed picture. Strengths include strong profitability, solvency, and
liquidity. However, declining NIM and high CTIR require further attention. Investors and
customers should assess the bank's strengths and weaknesses in light of their individual needs
and risk tolerance.
Balance Sheet:
Equity Capital:
Increased from Rs. 312 crore in March 2018 to Rs. 667 crore in March 2023, a growth of
114%.
Reserves:

9
Increased from Rs. 5,963 crore in March 2018 to Rs. 10,311 crore in March 2023, a growth of
73%.
Total Liabilities:
Increased from Rs. 42,143 crore in March 2018 to Rs. 90,216 crore in March 2023, a growth
of 114%.
Fixed Assets:
Increased from Rs. 438 crore in March 2018 to Rs. 707 crore in March 2023, a growth of

Overall, the balance sheet shows strong growth in all key areas over the past 5 years. This
suggests that AU Small Finance Bank is in a sound financial position and is well-positioned
for future growth.
Liabilities:
Borrowings:
As you noted, AU SMALL FINANCE BANK had no borrowings in 2019 and 2020. This
indicates strong internal cash flow or reliance on other financing sources like equity.
The emergence of borrowings in 2021 (139,485 crores) and their subsequent increase in 2022
(192,635 crores) and 2023 (257,391 crores) suggest a shift in financing strategy. The bank
likely utilized debt to fuel expansion, capitalize on opportunities, or manage temporary
liquidity requirements.
Other Liabilities:
The consistent rise in other liabilities from 78,207 crores in 2019 to 124,081 crores in 2023
demands attention. This could be due to several factors, including:
Growth in underlying business: Increased trading activity, accrued expenses, or deferred
revenue could contribute to higher accounts payable and other accruals.

10
Long-term commitments: Rising lease obligations, pension liabilities, or warranty
provisions might be reflected in this category.
Financial instruments: Issuance of financial instruments like bonds or derivatives could lead to
additional liabilities.
Assets:
Fixed Assets:
The relative stability of fixed assets, with a marginal increase from 10,263 crores in 2019 to
14,595 crores in 2023, suggests a focus on optimizing existing infrastructure rather than
significant expansion in physical assets. This could be a strategic choice based on market
conditions or a focus on digital capabilities.
2.Other Assets:
The substantial growth in other assets, from 66,180 crores in 2019 to 170,555 crores in 2023,
is noteworthy. This could be driven by several factors:
Investment activity: Increased investments in securities, subsidiaries, or other financial
instruments could lead to higher asset values in this category.
Intangible assets: Growth in intellectual property, brand value, or other intangible assets might
be reflected here.
Inventory buildup: Accumulation of inventory in anticipation of higher demand or changes in
supply chains could also contribute to the increase.

11
Share Holder Pattern:
INTERPRETATION:
The shareholding pattern over the past 5 years has been the following:
Promoters: The promoter shareholding has decreased from 32.70% in March 2018 to 25.48%
in September 2023.
FII: The FII shareholding has increased from 7.40% in March 2018 to 41.64% in
