In 2019, there were eleven sharia banks in the population. This study included five banks in the research samples based on quarterly data availability three years before and after the spin-off. The method used is the two related samples Wilcoxon test due to the abnormally distributed data before and after the spin-off and the independent sample t-test for comparing ROA of a pure and impure spin-off, also used Mann-Whitney test to compare FDR and BOPO between pure and impure spin-off. The results are that ROA after spin-off is higher but insignificant than before spin-off; BOPO after spin-off is significantly higher than before spin-off. FDR after spin-off is significantly lower than before spin-off. Furthermore, an impure spin-off provides a significantly higher ROA than a pure spin-off. Impure spin-off gives higher BOPO but is insignificant. Finally, impure spin-off results in a significantly higher FDR than the pure one. These results imply that the limited-service coverages due to their small size challenge newborn BUSes to increase their market share. The too-small sizes also become the burden of newborn BUSes to benefit-cost reduction through economies of scale.  UR - https://ier.ut.ac.ir/article_90658.html L1 - https://ier.ut.ac.ir/article_90658_5444d13dc382e015f962b49e66e4e0b4.pdf ER -
