Volatile Cash GenerationPronounced cash-flow swings undermine predictability of internal funding. Large negative operating cash flow in 2024 followed by recovery in 2025 indicates earnings quality and working-capital volatility that can complicate loan funding, capital planning, and dividend policy, increasing funding and execution risk.
Flat Net Income Vs RevenueWhen revenue rises but net income remains flat, it suggests pressure from rising credit costs, provisions, or operating expenses. This reduces the calibre of growth and limits retained-earnings accumulation, constraining capital for new lending or buffers and raising sensitivity to future margin shocks.
Margin Normalization TrendA multi-year decline in net margins signals structural headwinds—competitive pressure, funding cost increases or higher credit loss allowances—that can erode long-term profitability. Continued margin compression would impair return on equity and reduce the bank’s ability to self-finance growth or absorb macroeconomic stress.
