India's Yes Bank AT-1 ruling won't impact ratings despite earnings hit, S&P says

India's Yes Bank AT-1 ruling won't impact ratings despite earnings hit, S&P says

S&P Global Ratings said the Supreme Court's ruling on Yes Bank's Additional Tier-1 (AT-1) bonds is unlikely to significantly affect the bank's credit ratings, despite a potential hit to its earnings.

The Supreme Court overturned Yes Bank's ₹8,415 crore AT-1 bond write-off from 2020, providing relief to bondholders. However, the decision could put pressure on the bank's profitability and capital position.

S&P expects Yes Bank's risk-adjusted capital ratio to remain around 8%–8.5% through March 2028. The rating agency believes the reinstatement of the bonds could partly offset the impact on the bank's common equity.

Key Takeaways:

  • AT-1 Bonds: ₹8,415 crore
  • Potential Earnings Impact: Around ₹5,400 crore, as reported
  • S&P's View: No significant impact on credit ratings expected
  • Key Concern: Profitability and capital position
