Jakarta, 28 October 2018

PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk (“Maybank Indonesia” or the “Bank”) today announced that its profit after tax and minority interests (PATAMI) increased 3.4% to Rp1.5 trillion for the nine months period ended 30 September 2018, on the back of higher NII and improvement in provisioning level. Recurring Profits Before Tax (PBT) increased 19% YoY after eliminating exceptional one-off proceeds mainly from the sale of securities in 2017. Better asset quality, a solid growth in Sharia business, coupled with improvement in subsidiaries, and sustained strategic cost management also contributed to the Bank’s improved performance.  
 
The Bank’s asset quality improved significantly as reflected by lower NPL levels of 2.7% (gross) and 1.5% (net) as at 30 September 2018 compared with 3.9% (gross) and 2.4% (net) in the previous year, reaffirming the Bank’s success in managing asset quality through selective and responsible growth.

Its asset quality also improved with lower Non Performing Financing (NPF) level of 2.9% as at September 2018 compared with 4.0% in the previous year. The implementation of Sharia Leverage Model whereby the Unit Usaha Sharia has access to the resources of the whole Bank to develop and market all Sharia products, combined with Sharia First strategy have significantly contributed to the outstanding performance of Maybank Indonesia’s Sharia Banking.
 
The Bank saw net interest income grow 5.5% to Rp6.0 trillion in September 2018 compared with Rp5.7 trillion in the previous corresponding period. Net Interest Margin expanded by 6bps to 5.2% in September 2018 as the Bank continued to implement disciplined pricing in both asset and liabilities. 
 
Effective management of overhead costs saw it being reduced by 0.3% YoY to Rp4.5 trillion in September 2018 owing to sustained strategic cost management initiatives across business lines and supports units. 
 
The Bank recorded a loans growth of 7.8% to Rp131.2 trillion as at 30 September 2018 from Rp121.8 trillion in the previous year. Global Banking booked a strong loans growth of 10.4% to Rp31.1 trillion as of September 2018 from Rp28.2 trillion previously mainly contributed by infrastructure projects undertaken by State-Owned Enterprises (SOE).  Meanwhile, CFS Non-Retail loans, which comprises  Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) and Business Banking loans grew by 8.6% to Rp55.8 trillion as of 30 September 2018 from Rp51.4 trillion in the previous year, while CFS Retail loans increased by 5.0% to Rp44.3 trillion as of September 2018 from Rp42.2 trillion previously.
 
The Bank’s current accounts grew strongly by 13.6% YoY arising from the Bank’s focus on its transactional banking and cash management services. This led to an improvement in the Bank’s CASA ratio to 41.6% from 38.0% previously.  Total Customer deposits were lower at  Rp110.8 trillion as of September 2018 compared with Rp119.1 trillion a year earlier in line with the Bank’s strategy in managing its cost of funding by reducing its dependence on high cost time deposits.
