Jakarta, August 2, 2022 - PT Bank BTPN Tbk (Bank BTPN) managed to record a solid performance in the first half of 2022, in part due to continuous efforts by various parties to restore the economy.

Bank BTPN was able to maintain good credit quality, as reflected in the gross Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio, which stood at 1.35% at the end of June, down from 1.46% last year. The figure was still relatively low compared with an average 3.04% recorded in the whole banking industry at the end of May 2022.

 

Bank BTPN has optimized the amount of third-party deposits through adjustments to meet the needs of credit funding and the bank's liquidity.

 

Bank BTPN's third-party deposits increased by 7% yoy from Rp96.64 trillion at the end of June 2021 to Rp103.17 trillion at the end of June 2022. The rise in third-party deposits was attributable to an increase in current account savings account (CASA) balance by 38% yoy from Rp28.28 trillion to Rp38.93 trillion. CASA ratio also increased accordingly from 29.3% to 37.7%. Time deposits, on the other hand, decreased by 6% yoy to Rp64.24 trillion.

 

Bank BTPN managed to increase third-party deposits and at the same time to reduce cost of funds from 3.6% to 2.9%, which in turn was in line with Bank Indonesia's low benchmark interest rate.

 

Bank BTPN's net profit after tax (consolidated) attributable to owners of the parent entity in January-June of 2022 was recorded at Rp1,675 billion, up 2% yoy from Rp1,641 billion. This was due to a decrease in interest expense by 9% yoy, as well as an increase in other operating income by 5% yoy, although operating expenses increased slightly by 2% yoy from Rp3.44 trillion to Rp3.50 trillion.

 

Bank BTPN continues to monitor customer credit quality, manage credit restructuring, and maintain adequate credit cost reserves, with an increase in credit costs of 6% to Rp 740 billion.

 

Amidst improvement pandemic situation, Bank BTPN managed to increase its net interest income by 2% (YoY) to Rp 5.72 trillion in the first half of this year, from Rp 5.59 trillion. This increase was contributed by credit growth and a decrease in interest expense by 9% (YoY) to Rp 1,704 billion from Rp 1,879 billion with an increase in CASA balances and a decrease in time deposit interest rates, but on the yield side, there was a decrease which resulted in a lower NIM from 6.76% in the second quarter of 2021 to 6.34% in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Bank BTPN also maintains a healthy liquidity and funding ratio, with a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of 181.3% and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of 121.3% as of June 30, 2022. The company recorded a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 25.2%.
