I&M Group profits surged by an impressive 35.44%, reaching Ksh 3.60 billion in Q1 2024 compared to Ksh 2.66 billion in Q1 2023.
This strong performance continues a positive trend that began in 2020, where the bank made a profit of Ksh 1.66 billion, growing to Ksh 1.89 billion in 2021. The momentum continued in 2022 with profits reaching Ksh 2.7 billion. A key driver of I&M Group’s success was the substantial increase in customer loans.
The loan portfolio expanded by 13.10% to Ksh 291.48 billion, up from Ksh 257.71 billion in the same period last year.
This growth indicates a growing demand for credit from both retail and corporate clients, reflecting confidence in the Group’s lending capabilities.
The positive momentum extended to customer deposits, which grew by a remarkable 18.23% to Ksh 383.88 billion compared to Ksh 324.67 billion in Q1 2023. This growth can be attributed, in part, to I&M Group’s focus on product innovation and digitization.
Overall asset growth also accelerated, with total assets reaching Ksh 532.96 billion, a 12.77% increase from Ksh 472.61 billion in the previous year’s first quarter.
I&M Group’s revenue also experienced healthy growth, rising by 20.6% to KES 11.55 billion from Ksh 9.58 billion in Q1 2023. Gross non-performing loans increased slightly to KES 33.71 billion from Ksh 29.31 billion, with the cost-to-income ratio improving to 44.18% compared to 45.84% in the previous year’s first quarter.
