August 17, 2025

Sampath Bank has posted a robust financial performance for the first half of 2025, recording a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs 24.4 billion and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 14.7 billion, reflecting a 32% year-on-year growth.

The Sampath Group also reported a 32% rise in both PBT and PAT, reaching Rs 26.0 billion and Rs 15.6 billion, respectively.

Despite a 6% decline in net interest income to Rs 38.6 billion—due to lower interest rates and reduced yields from government securities—the Bank's non-fund based income surged by 122% to Rs 15.9 billion. This included a notable exchange gain of Rs 2.4 billion, reversing a Rs 2.7 billion loss in the prior year.
