News Release

ICICI Bank Limited (NYSE: IBN} filed its annual report in Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2020 (FY2020) on July 31, 2020, as required by United States securities regulations. The Form 20-F annual report includes the Bank's consolidated financial statements under Indian GAAP and a reconciliation of consolidated profit after tax and net worth under Indian GAAP to net income and stockholders' equity under U.S. GAAP, approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

The net income for FY2020 under U.S. GAAP was Rs. 11,334 crore (US$ 1,503 million} as compared to consolidated profit after tax under Indian GAAP of Rs. 9,566 crore (US$ 1,269 million}. The significant difference between net income under U.S. GAAP and Indian GAAP was primarily due to difference in accounting for the valuation of debt and equity securities and difference in allowance for loan losses.

Under U.S. GAAP, the difference in accounting for the valuation of debt and equity securities resulted in higher net income by Rs. 1,460 crore (US$ 194 million} as compared to Indian GAAP in FY2020.

Under U.S. GAAP, the allowance for loan losses in the income statement was lower by Rs. 505 crore (US$ 67 million} in FY2020 as compared to Indian GAAP. The differences in the methodology of computing loan loss allowances between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP result in timing differences in the recognition of allowance for loan losses.

Stockholders' equity as per U.S. GAAP was Rs. 145,718 crore (US$ 19.3 billion} at March 31, 2020 compared to the consolidated net worth as per Indian GAAP of Rs. 122,960 crore (US$ 16.3 billion}.

Pursuant to its issuance and listing of securities in the United States under registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ICICI Bank files annual report in Form 20-F with the SEC as required by U.S. securities laws and regulations. ICICI Bank in its annual report in Form 20-F includes consolidated financial statements under Indian GAAP, with a reconciliation of profit after tax and net worth under Indian GAAP to net income and stockholders' equity under U.S. GAAP and a description of significant differences between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

It may be noted that there are significant differences in the basis of accounting between U.S. GAAP and Indian GAAP primarily relating to allowance for loan losses, business combinations, consolidation, valuation of securities and derivatives, amortization of fees and costs, compensation costs, securitization, income taxes and fixed assets.
