Axis Bank Ltd on Thursday reported a wider-than-expected one-time loss in the fourth quarter, weighed down by costs incurred due to its $1.41 billion Citi deal.
Axis reported a loss of 57.28 billion rupees ($700.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, compared to a profit of 41.18 billion rupees a year earlier.
Axis, India’s fourth-largest bank by market capitalisation, in March closed a deal to acquire Citigroup Inc’s local consumer and non-banking finance businesses.
Despite the loss, the lender’s business growth remained robust.

It reported a standalone operating profit, which excludes provisions and contingencies, of 91.68 billion rupees, compared to 64.66 billion rupees a year earlier.
The bank’s net interest income, the difference between interest earned and expended, grew 33% to 117.42 billion rupees. Net interest margins were at 4.22%, up 73 basis points year-on-year.
Larger rivals HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank have also reported healthy growth in net interest incomes for the fiscal fourth quarter.
Axis’ quarterly advances were up 19% year-on-year, in line with double-digit loan growth seen in Indian banks over the last few months.
The Mumbai-based bank’s deposits grew 15%.

Provision and contingencies for the quarter stood at 3.06 billion rupees, down from 9.87 billion rupees a year ago.
