CARE Ratings Reaffirms AU Small Finance Bank's Ratings
CARE Ratings reaffirms 'CARE AA; Stable' rating for AU Small Finance Bank's long-term debt and infrastructure bonds, and 'CARE A1+' for short-term instruments, reflecting consistent growth and capitalization.
Reaffirmation of credit ratings can have a moderate impact as it reassures investors and stakeholders about the bank's creditworthiness.
The reaffirmation of credit ratings by CARE Ratings indicates a positive outlook on the bank's financial stability and performance.
* CARE Ratings has reaffirmed the 'CARE AA; Stable' rating for AU Small Finance Bank's (AUSFB) Long-Term Debt Instruments (Tier-II Bonds) and assigned the same rating to Infrastructure Bonds. * The rating for Short-term Instruments (Certificate of Deposits) has been reaffirmed at 'CARE A1+'. * The ratings reflect AUSFB's consistent growth, comfortable capitalization, and healthy profitability, offset by concerns such as regional concentration and asset quality. * CARE Ratings has withdrawn the rating assigned to the proposed Tier-II bonds of AUSFB with immediate effect, as the instruments were only proposed, remained unutilized, and have no outstanding amount as of date. * As of September 30, 2025, the bank reported a capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) of 18.78% and a Tier-I CAR of 16.94%. * The bank’s CASA ratio stood at 29.40% as on September 30, 2025.
