The Bank posted total net income of RM242 million for H1FY13, a growth of 30.4% on pro-forma basis, contributed by improved yields, higher treasury income from Global Markets Islamic and recoveries of impairment allowance arising from the improvement in assets quality.
Net profit margin for H1FY13 improved to 2.25% from 1.84% on pro-forma basis in same period last year, mainly attributable to a better assets yield arising from a healthy mix of assets portfolio.
Cost-income ratio was slightly higher at 41.7% from 40.1% last corresponding period in reflection of various initiatives undertaken in enhancing branding of the merged entity.
Financing Growth
Total asset contracted to RM20.0 billion in H1FY13 from RM21.9 billion in June 2012 as part of our initiatives in optimising asset yields from the rebalancing of the funding and liquidity needs.
