Maybank Singapore’s profit before tax down 5.8% to S$363.82m in H1

Net fund-based income rose 17.9% due to balance sheet growth and cost management.

Maybank Singapore’s profit before tax (PBT) fell by 5.8% to S$363.82m in H1 FY2025, according to a statement.

Higher overheads and lower write-back in impairment allowance weighed on profits, offsetting the growth in fund-based income.

Net fund-based income rose 17.9% to S$382.19m, which the bank attributed to growth in its balance sheet and proactive management of funding cost.

Non-interest income, meanwhile, dipped by 2.4% to S$286.81m as treasury income fell due to lower FX related income.

This was mitigated by stronger wealth income from bancassurance commission and investment income and higher non-operating income contributed by gain from government bond sales as well as improved loans related fee, according to the bank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
