Provision coverage Ratio is 74.62% as on 31-3-2011. While NPAs are approximately at same levels, provision coverage has gone up.

Dividend  declared is 22% fro FY 11 against 20% for FY 10.

Basic EPS for Q4 is Rs.5.46 – up by 0.92% from previous qtr and up by 14.23% from corresponding qtr. The total EPS for FY 11 is Rs.21.26 – up by 19.24% from FY 10. On this EPS, the PE Ratio is 4.89.

Capital Adequacy Ratio reasonable at 11.04. But the Bank is issuing 4,65,65,874  preference shares to GOI at a premium of Rs.105.75. This will enhance the liquid  funds for the Bank – and enhance its profitability in coming quarters. Govt is paying Rs.115.75 per share – whereas current Market price is Rs.104.

As can be analyzed from other details - the expenditure of the bank has gone up to Rs.4343.58 cr in FY 11 from Rs.3758.41 cr in FY 10;i.e., Rs.585.17 cr difference.

From notes to accounts, we find that - 1/5th of additional pension fund liability (Rs.70.78 cr) for serving employees and 100% of additional pension liability for retired employees (Rs.105.75 cr) have been provided in P&L Account for FY 2011. Carried forward liability is Rs.283.14 cr. Likewise, additional gratuity liabilities have been provided in FY 2011 for 15.99 cr and carried forward liability is Rs.63.97 cr. So, it seems that since q1 FY 12 onwards, this burden will come down drastically – the expenditure will come down significantly and profitability will further improve.

Thus while Net Profit has gone up by 14.54% only from corresponding qtr of FY 10; the profitability can improve well in coming quarters for Dena Bank – both on account of lesser expenditure and more liquidity /loanable funds.

% of Gross/Net NPA is 1.22 – and is stable around these levels for a number of quarters.

Return on Assets is reasonable at 0.94.

All these PSU Banks are performing well and improving in each quarter. But for the huge, one time additional pension liability, the Net profit for FY 11 would have been up impressively – for Dena Bank. It is now up by 19.24% only from FY 10. This improvement is likely to be reflected in from Q1 FY 12 onwards. We may watch for the same.

It seems likely – that a similar trend may be reflected for other PSU Banks also – though – their profitability for FY 11 will still be quite good – despite the one time pension liabilities. We need to watch for the same.

Over all – Banking sector as a whole deserves much better valuations in the market – based on their dependability and consistent growth pattern.
