Management updated that efforts to close the gap towards a full-fledged banking institution have been completed in 3Q14. 2.40 2.30 2.20 2.10 2.00 60 50 40 30 20 10 Source: Bloomberg 103 98 93 88 83 Results highlights. MBSB s 3Q14 net profit of MYR192.4m fell 17.4% QoQ (+63.4% YoY) due to a combination of: i) impairment allowances of MYR26.1m vs a MYR15.2m writeback in 2Q14, ii) higher operating expenses with the cost-to-income ratio (CIR) rising to 20.3% (2Q14: 18.8%), and iii) lower non-interest income (-31.2% QoQ). However, these were partly offset by higher income from its Islamic operation (+13.3% QoQ). Net interest margin (NIM), which fell a sharp 67bps QoQ to 3.84% in 1Q14, was stable at 3.86% in 3Q14. Loans grew a modest 1.4% QoQ (+2.3% YTD), reflecting the subdued environment (particularly for personal loans) as well as stricter retail lending guidelines introduced. Meanwhile, customer deposits declined 2.4% QoQ (+1.7% YTD), resulting in a higher loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) of 108.1% (Jun 2014: 103.9%). Gross impaired loans (GIL) ratio improved slightly QoQ at 6.9%, based on a 3-month classification criterion (vs 3Q13: 8.4%, but based on a 6-month classification criterion).

Management revealed that its corporate business and wholesale banking segment has shown positive results. For 3Q14, loan approvals for the segment reached MYR4.8bn (2Q14: MY2bn), while disbursements amounted to MYR1.7bn and loan stock stood at MYR4.8bn. MBSB added 80 new corporate depositors in 3Q14, raising total number of corporate depositors to 378. The slight improvement in MBSB s net GIL ratio of 5% in 3Q14 (2Q14: 5.2%) was due to continued strengthening of its collection process helped by the Debt Consultation Campaign. Moving forward, MBSB expects NIM to remain under pressure due to tightening measures by Bank Negara. Management also updated that it has completed the groundwork and processes to close the gaps in transforming MBSB into a full-fledged banking institution. Finally, management emphasised that MBSB will continue to leverage on its Biro Angkasa and AG code facilities.
