Third-quarter net profit rose 28% from a year ago to a
record $722 million. The results were underpinned by
continued loan growth and sustained customer-driven
non-interest income flows.
Net interest income rose 1% from the previous quarter to
$1.08 billion as loan growth was offset by a decline in net
interest margins. Loans rose 1% from corporate borrowing
across the region and housing loans in Singapore. Net
interest margin fell four basis points to 1.80%.
Non-interest income fell 2% from the previous quarter to
$730 million. Net fee income fell due to lower loan-related
revenues, but most other fee activities were maintained.
Revenues from customer flows for treasury products
increased, but lower trading gains resulted in a decline in
overall trading income. Gains from the sale of investment
securities and fixed assets were higher.

Expenses of $726 million were 1% higher than the
previous quarter. The cost-income ratio was little changed
at 40%.
The non-performing loan rate improved from 2.3% in the
previous quarter to 2.1% as repayments and write-offs
exceeded new non-performing loans. General and
specific allowances of $195 million were set aside, and
the allowance coverage was at 97% and at 124% if
collateral was considered.
For the first nine months, net profit (before one-time
items) rose 26% to $1.97 billion from higher customer
flows in non-interest income and from lower allowances
as asset quality improved.
Return on equity was 11.1% for the third quarter, similar
to the previous quarter. For the nine months, it improved
from 8.7% a year ago to 10.2%. DBS remained well
capitalised with total capital adequacy ratio at 16.3%
with tier-1 at 13.1%.

Net interest

income/margin

Note:
1/ Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets

Net interest income rose 1% from the previous quarter to
$1.08 billion.

The impact of the margin decline was offset by higher
customer loan volumes.

Net interest margins fell four basis points from the previous
quarter to 1.80%. Yields for new housing loans were lower
than those that had run off. In addition, deposit costs were
higher in Hong Kong.

Net interest income for the nine months was 3% below a
year ago as lower interest margins more than offset the
benefit of higher asset volumes.

Net fee and commission income decreased by 5% from the
previous quarter to $340 million mainly due to decline in
loan related activities offset by improvements in
stockbroking and investment banking activities.

Net fee and commission income for the nine months was
unchanged with an improvement in wealth management
revenues offset by lower fees from trade and remittances
as margins fell. Loan-related fees were also lower.

Net trading income (including net income from financial
instruments designated at fair value) fell 20% from the
previous quarter to $223 million. Customer revenues
rose 10% from the previous quarter but the impact was
more than offset by a decline in trading gains and a
more prudent valuation reserve methodology. For the

nine months, net trading income rose 93% from higher
customer flows.
Net income from financial investments improved from
the previous quarter as market conditions were
conducive for taking profit on investments. It was also
higher for the nine months.

Specific allowances for loans rose moderately to $125
million (33 basis points of loans) from $68 million (19
basis points) in the previous quarter. General
allowances fell to $39 million from $124 million in line
with lower loan growth.

For the nine months, total allowances fell 34% as
specific allowances declined in line with improvements
in asset quality. General allowances were also lower.

Notes:
1/ With effect from 1 January 2010, the Group has adopted a revised capital benefit and fund transfer policy. The business segments have also been reaggregated following a
review. Comparative figures have been restated to conform to the current year presentation
2/ Allowances for credit and other losses and profits exclude goodwill charges and one-time items
3/ Refer to sections on Customer Loans and Non-Performing Assets and Loss Allowance Coverage for more information on business segments

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

The business segment results are prepared based on
the Group’s internal management reporting which
reflects the organisation management structure. As the
activities of the Group are highly integrated, internal
allocation has been made in preparing the segment
information. Amounts for each business segment are
shown after the allocation of certain centralised costs,
funding income and the application of transfer pricing,
where appropriate. Transactions between segments are
recorded within the segment as if they are third party
transactions and are eliminated on consolidation. During
the quarter, no one group of related customers
generated more than 10% of the Group’s revenues.
The external presentation of the business segment
results has been revised from first-quarter 2010 to better
reflect internal management reporting. In addition, the
Group adopted a revised capital benefit and fund
transfer policy with effect from 1 January 2010.
Comparative figures have been restated to conform to
the current presentation.
The various business segments are described below:
Consumer/ Private Banking
Consumer/ Private Banking provides individual customers
with a diverse range of banking and related financial
services. The products and services available to customers
include current and savings accounts, fixed deposits, loans
and home finance, cards, payments, investment and
insurance products.
Compared to the previous quarter, net interest income
declined as housing loan margins fell, more than
offsetting the impact of higher volumes. Non-interest
income and expenses were little changed. Specific
allowances for private banking were lower.
Institutional Banking
Institutional Banking provides financial services and
products to large corporate, institutional clients and
small and medium-sized businesses. The products
and services available to customers include corporate
finance and advisory banking services for mergers

and acquisitions, capital raising through debt and equity
markets, capital restructuring, syndicated finance,
securities and fiduciary services, cash management and
trade services, private equity and credit facilities, deposit
and treasury products. Institutional Banking also provides
equity services through DBS Vickers Securities (DBSV).
DBSV offers a wide range of services to retail and
corporate customers including research, sales and trading,
share placement, nominees and securities custodian
services and distribution of primary and secondary issues.
Asset management activities also fall under this segment.
Net interest income was stable. Non-interest income fell
as lower loan-related activities were partially offset by
higher revenues from treasury product sales. Expenses
rose due to higher bonus accruals and investments in
technology. Allowances were lower as a decline in general
allowances was partially offset by higher specific
allowances.
Treasury
Treasury provides treasury services to corporations,
institutional and private investors, financial institutions and
other market participants. It is primarily involved in market
making, structuring, equity and debt sales and trading
across a broad range of financial products including
foreign exchange, interest rate/credit/equity and other
structured derivatives. Income from these financial
products and services offered to the customer of other
business segments, such as Consumer/Private Banking
and Institutional Banking, is reflected in the respective
segments. Treasury is also responsible for the
management of the Group’s asset and liability interest rate
positions and investment of the Group’s excess liquidity
and shareholders’ funds.
Treasury’s revenues were lower than the previous quarter
due to less favourable market conditions.
Others
Others encompasses a range of activities from corporate
decisions and income and expenses not attributed to other
business segments.

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
The performance by geography is classified based on the
location in which income and assets are recorded.

Net profit improved from $65 million in the previous quarter
to $190 million as non-interest income rose and both
expenses and allowances declined.

Singapore
Net profit fell 20% from the previous quarter to $431
million. Trading gains fell while the previous quarter had
included a reversal of expenses that had been earlier
accrued as compensation for Constellation note holders in
Hong Kong.
Net interest income improved 6% from the previous
quarter due to higher average loan corporate and housing
loan volumes. Non-interest income fell 13% as lower
trading gains and loan-related fees were partially
compensated by higher revenues from customer flows for
treasury products.
Underlying expenses rose 4% as technology costs
increased. Allowances were lower as general allowances
fell in line with lower loan growth.
Hong Kong
The third quarter’s results incorporate an appreciation of
the Singapore dollar against the Hong Kong dollar of 3%
from the previous quarter and 6% from a year ago.

Net interest income decreased 4% from the previous
quarter as net interest margins declined 12 basis points to
1.56% due to higher deposit costs. Loans rose 3% in local
currency terms mainly from corporate borrowing. Deposits
also increased 3% as savings and demand deposits rose.
Non-interest income rose 18% from the previous quarter
from higher trading gains, fee income from credit cards and
trade finance, and gains from the sale of fixed assets. They
were partially offset by lower revenue from customer flows
for treasury products.
Expenses declined 41% as compensation for Constellation
note holders had been booked in the previous quarter.
Underlying expenses were slightly higher as staff and
technology costs rose.
Total allowances were 44% lower than the previous
quarter. General allowances fell in line with lower loan
growth.

high and low VaR for the trading risk exposure of the Group for the period from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010. The
Group’s trading book VaR methodology is based on Historical Simulation VaR.
