1QFY2023 vs 1QFY2022 (restated) (YoY)
Higher net operating income (NOI) by 1.1% led by non-interest income (NOII)
increase of 12.4% YoY due to realised & unrealised derivative gains, FX gains
and investment and trading income gains. Offsetting NOI growth was lower net
fund based income of 2.0%, as NIM declined 15 bps YoY on sharp increase in
funding costs led by Malaysia following +100bps OPR hike in 2022
Cost growth of 11.8% led by higher personnel costs, ROU assets depreciation &
IT costs, marketing expenses and credit card related fees due to higher billings
Net impairment losses reduced 50.9% to RM292.9 million following a net
writeback in financial investments of RM75.8 million (1Q'22: net allowance of
RM127.6 million) and lower net loan provisioning of 18.8% to RM360.1 million on
lower loans impaired during the period and writeback for corporate borrowers.
Net profit rise of 10.7% YoY also driven by absence of Cukai Makmur, leading
to higher ROE of 10.7% from 9.4% a year ago

1QFY2023 vs 4QFY2022 (not restated) (QoQ)
NOI declined by 8.3% as net fund based income reduced by 9.7% with NIM
(ann.) compressing 20 bps QoQ on rise in funding cost. Meanwhile, NOII
reduced by 3.7% driven by weaker insurance income but mitigated by an
increase in treasury and markets income of 33.3% and core fees of 1.6%.
Cost decreased by 10.4% QoQ driven mainly by a reduction in personnel and
marketing expenses, which saw some seasonal expenses in 4Q'2022
Net impairment losses increased to RM292.9 million from RM191.0 million
mainly due to additional loan management overlays to cater for potential
asset quality deterioration for loan portfolios given rising macroeconomic
headwinds and inflationary pressure in FY2023
Net profit grew 4.5% driven by absence of Cukai Makmur
Note: Non-interest income was previously referred to as net fee based income
*Restated 1QFY2022 comparative information as MFRS 17 has replaced MFRS 4 Insurance Contracts for annual periods on or after 1 January 2023
