Jakarta, July 29, 2012 (ANTARA) - PT Bank Internasional Indonesia Tbk ("BII" or the "Bank") today reported a net profit after tax and minority interest (PATAMI) of Rp592 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2012, up 61% from Rp367 billion as of 30 June 2011. This was the highest ever PATAMI recorded by BII since 1997. The Bank's profit before tax and minority interest reached Rp824 billion or up 59% compared to the previous corresponding period.
The improved performance was mainly supported by solid growth across the Bank's core businesses, improved assets quality, and its continuing overall operational improvements.
The Bank continued to book strong loan growth during the semester at 24% from Rp59.5 trillion in June 2011 to Rp73.5 trillion in June 2012. Global Wholesale Banking loans accounted for 38% of total loans, while SME and Consumer Loans contributed 25% and 36% respectively.
The consolidated loan to deposit ratio (LDR) stood at 95.39%, compared with 89.95% in the previous corresponding year. The LDR for the Bank only (without subsidiaries) remains at a healthy level at 89.40%, while the Bank’s modified consolidated LDR which includes senior bond, long term borrowings, and customer deposits stood at 82.40% as of 30 June 2012.
Total deposits from customers increased by 16% to Rp76.6 trillion as of 30 June 2012, up from Rp65.9 trillion recorded on 30 June 2011. Savings accounts grew by 9% to Rp16.0 trillion from Rp14.6 trillion, Current Accounts grew by 12% to Rp13.5 trillion from Rp12.1 trillion a year earlier, and time deposits increased by 20% to Rp47.1 trillion from Rp39.2 trillion. This deposit growth has brought the Bank’s total assets to Rp102.0 trillion from Rp84.3 trillion as of 30 June 2011, up by 21%.
Other key drivers which supported the Bank's improved performance during the semester were:
The Bank's growth across its business segments was accompanied by improved assets quality. BII’s gross non performing loans (gross NPL) level was at 2.11% as of 30 June 2012 from 2.45% as of 30 June 2011 and net NPL improved to 0.98% from 1.22%. The improvement in assets quality was achieved mainly through the Bank’s prudent and disciplined banking practices as reflected by continuous effort in strengthening its risk management and credit processing as well as closer monitoring of existing borrowers.
Provision expenses as of 30 June 2012 were stable at Rp555 billion despite the 24% growth in loans. The lower provision expenses reflected the Bank’s improved assets quality.
The Bank's net interest income (NII) improved by 32% YoY from Rp1.9 trillion in June 2011 to Rp2.6 trillion in June 2012 due to the lower cost of funds that the Bank enjoyed throughout the semester. The strong competition among banks has put pressure on the Net Interest Margin (NIM) across the banking industry; however, in June 2012 BII was able to improve its NIM at 5.89% from 5.43% in the previous year.
Fee based income declined 8% from the first semester last year mainly due to the reduction of loan administration fees related to BII’s subsidiary which consolidated its motorcycle financing with the prime focus of improving its assets quality. The reduction was, however, offset by strong growth in interest income.
Despite the Bank's aggressive network expansion as well as investment in both IT infrastructure and human capital, the Bank has managed the increase in overhead costs at 12% from Rp2.2 trillion in June 2011 to Rp2.4 trillion in June 2012. During the first half of 2012, the Bank added 24 new branches and 66 ATMs. As of 30 June 2012, the Bank had a total of 375 offices (including Syariah and overseas branches) and 1,218 ATMS including 65 Cash Deposit Machines. The Bank is fully committed to continue investing in its network and infrastructure to serve customers better and provide them greater convenience.
