JAKARTA – PT Bank Permata Tbk (“PermataBank”) today announced a pre tax profit of Rp. 462 billion in the first half of 2009, an increase of 15% year-on-year (YoY) from Rp. 401 billion from the same period in 2008. Net profit after tax grew 17% YoY to Rp 325 billion.

Net Interest Income increased 15% YoY to Rp 1,402 billion in H109 driven by good loan growth. Other operating income rose 52% YoY to Rp 460 billion in H109 largely due to gains from the sale of marketable securities. PermataBank’s total operating income grew 23% YoY to Rp 1,862 billion in H109 (first half 2009).

PermataBank continued its process improvement initiatives. Operating expenses were carefully managed whilst creating capacity to invest for future growth.  Expenses fell 2% YoY from Rp 1,077 billion in H108 to Rp 1,059 billion in H109. Cost income ratio improved from 71% in the first half of 2008 to 57% in the first half of 2009.

PermataBank continued to optimize its intermediary function in the Indonesian economy, as reflected in its loan growth of 18% YoY from Rp. 31.2 trillion in H108 to Rp. 36.7 trillion in H109. Assets as of 30 June 2009 totaled Rp 54.1 trillion, an increase of 26% YoY, cementing PermataBank’s position as one of the top Banks in Indonesia in terms of assets.

Sound growth in the loan book was balanced by unrelenting adherence to the principles of prudent banking. Net Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio was 2.5% at the end of June 2009, well below Bank Indonesia maximum of 5%.

Third party funds rose 29% YoY to Rp. 43.1 trillion at the end of H109. Demand deposits and Savings recorded a healthy increase of 13% YoY and 9% YoY to Rp. 8.9 trillion and Rp. 7.8 trillion respectively.

PermataBank maintained a strong liquidity position during the period with a Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) of 85% as at 30 June 2009.  

PermataBank continues to maintain strong ratios and ended the period with a Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 13.2% (after market risk charge), well above the Bank Indonesia minimum requirement of 8%. PermataBank recently completed a subordinated Medium Term Notes issuance for USD 100 million which saw strong support from its main shareholders, Astra International and Standard Chartered.

Commenting on the results, President Director Stewart D. Hall remarked “We not only posted sound improvement in our profitability, but also optimized our intermediary function in supporting the Indonesian economy while still offering a wide range of innovative banking solutions in conventional and sharia banking.

Mr. Hall  further remarked, “These encouraging results demonstrate our unique ability to operate as a World-Class Local Bank.
