Subject of the Disclosure

PSBank Posts Double-Digit Growth in 1Q2023 Net Income

Background/Description of the Disclosure

PSBank, the thrift banking arm of Metrobank Group, reported Php976.88 million in net income for the first quarter of 2023 or a 10% jump compared to the first quarter of last year. This double-digit increase was propelled by expansion in consumer loan portfolio, improvements in credit quality and prudent expense management.

The Bank's net interest income rose by 8% year-on-year to Php2.95 billion, while net service fees increased by 7% at Php464.60 million. Operating expenses were lower by 5% to Php2.19 billion as the Bank continued to pursue cost optimization strategies resulting from initiatives on operational efficiency.

Gross loans as of March 31, 2023 increased by 4% to Php116.00 billion versus same period last year due to higher consumer demand as the country’s economy opened up. The Bank’s auto loan portfolio grew by 13% year-on-year on the back of higher demand for car financing. Improvements in asset quality were sustained with gross non-performing loans (NPL) ratio improving to 3.2% from 5.0% last year.

Total assets reached Php255.76 billion as of 1Q2023 while deposits amounted to Php209.81 billion with low-cost CASA funds totalling Php73.29 billion. PSBank’s capitalization remains strong at Php37.82 billion, with total capital adequacy and tier 1 ratios standing at 24.6% and 23.8%, respectively. Both ratios are well above the regulatory minimum and are among the highest in the Philippine banking industry.
