KARACHI:<\/strong> The shareholders of Sindh Bank<\/span><\/span><\/a> have approved the Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, during the Annual General Meeting held on March 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Bank reported a record-high Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs6.37 billion, marking a significant 155% increase compared to the previous year. This strong performance was driven by resilient margins and robust growth in both deposits and advances, which reached new peaks by the end of 2025. Operating profit also witnessed a substantial rise, supported by higher markup and non-markup income.<\/p>\n

Net markup income increased by 40% during 2025, despite reductions in the policy rate. Meanwhile, non-markup income grew by 43%, amounting to Rs568 million, primarily due to higher earnings from fees, commissions, dividends, and gains on securities.<\/p>\n

Profit After Tax (PAT) rose by over 20% to Rs3.35 billion, compared to Rs2.77 billion in the previous year.<\/p>\n

The Bank\u2019s total equity expanded by Rs4.39 billion, reaching Rs33.55 billion as of December 31, 2025. Its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) stood at a strong 25.04%, well above the minimum regulatory requirement of 11.50%. The Bank maintained capital of Rs28.47 billion against the required Rs10 billion, reflecting its financial strength and capacity to support future growth.<\/p>\n

Deposits surged to an all-time high of Rs342 billion, up from Rs312 billion in 2024, registering an increase of Rs30 billion. The Bank also improved its deposit mix, with a notable rise in non-remunerative deposits, strengthening overall profitability. The CASA ratio improved to 87%, compared to 82% in December 2024.<\/p>\n

As part of its customer expansion strategy, the Bank added 482,198 new accounts during the year, significantly increasing its customer base.<\/p>\n

Gross advances reached Rs170 billion by the end of 2025, reflecting a 72% increase from Rs98.9 billion in 2024. This growth was driven by a 157% increase in the SME portfolio and a 64% rise in consumer financing, alongside a major expansion in sovereign-backed financing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
