Seylan Bank recorded a Profit before Tax (PBT) of Rs. 10,608 million for the 9 months ended 30 September 2024, against Rs. 7,181 million reported in the corresponding period of 2023 demonstrating a growth of 47.72 per cent, the bank said in a media release.

The bank’s total operating income was at Rs. 34,264 million, a decrease of 8.32 per cent compared to Rs. 37,373 million recorded in the corresponding period of 2023, driven mainly by the contraction of net interest margins during 2024.

The bank has ensured the impairment provision is made to capture the changes in the global and local economy, credit risk profile of customers and credit quality of the bank’s loan portfolio in order to ensure adequacy of provisions recognised in the financial statements.

Income tax expenses stood at Rs 4,015 million which is a 49.51 per cent increase over the comparative period, which stood at Rs. 2,685 million due to increase in profits.
