Notes:
1/ Figures for 2006 have been reclassified to make them consistent with the current year’s presentation
2/ One-time gains include gains from sale of buildings in Hong Kong and allowance write-back for a Singapore property; one-time charge includes impairment charge for Thai
investment
3/ Includes customer loans classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet
4/ Includes interbank assets classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet
5/ Includes customer deposits classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet
6/ Return on assets, return on equity, specific allowances (loan)/average loan and per share data for the quarters are computed on an annualised basis
7/ Minority interests are not included as equity in the computation of net asset value and return on equity

Net profit for the second quarter rose 21% from a year
ago and 8% from the previous quarter to $664 million
before one-time items. Net interest and fee income
reached new highs as DBS has continued to capture
higher business volumes across a wide range of
activities and customer segments.
An impairment charge of $159 million was recorded
during the quarter for DBS’ 16.1% stake in TMB Bank
in Thailand to reflect current market valuation for the
investment. In addition, there was a $55 million
allowance write-back for a Singapore property as
market valuations improved. Including both one-time
items, net profit amounted to $560 million.
Net interest income increased 5% from the previous
quarter and 14% from a year ago to $1.03 billion, the
first time quarterly net interest income has crossed
$1 billion. The rise was driven by higher loan
volumes, which expanded 5% for the quarter and
19% for the year. Net fee income of $371 million was
25% higher than a year ago, with both corporate and
consumer activities contributing to the increase. Net
trading income fell to $97 million as customer flows
and trading gains were not as favourable. Total
income rose 15% from a year ago to $1.55 billion but
was little changed from the previous quarter.

Total expenses grew 11% from a year ago to $660
million. As with recent quarters, the year-on-year
increase was led by staff and computerisation costs.
Total expenses were stable from the previous
quarter, with a decline in staff costs being offset by
higher revenue-related expenses. The cost-income
ratio of 43% was unchanged from the previous
quarter and better than the 44% a year ago.
Asset quality continued to improve as the non-performing
loan ratio fell to 1.4% from 1.5% in the previous quarter
and 1.9% a year ago. Specific allowances for loans of $47
million corresponded to a charge of 19 basis points of
loans, within the range of recent quarters. Total cumulative
allowances amounted to 124% of total non-performing
assets.
For the first half, net profit before one-time items rose 20%
to $1.28 billion as an 18% increase in total income
surpassed a 14% rise in total expenses from a year ago.
Return on equity for the first half rose from 12.6% in
the previous year to 13.4% as return on assets
improved from 1.15% to 1.22%.

Specific allowances for loans rose to $47 million for
corporate and SME loans in Singapore, Hong Kong and
the rest of the region. In the previous quarter there had
been a net write-back for loans in Singapore, which offset
a charge in Hong Kong.

For the first half, total allowances rose 82% to $169
million as a result of higher general allowances for new
loans. Specific allowances for loans declined 34% to $48
million, corresponding to 10 basis points of loans
compared with 18 basis points in first half 2006.

General allowances of $24 million were taken for new
loans and off-balance sheet commitments booked during
the quarter.

Consumer Banking’s (CBG) net interest income fell
from the previous quarter and a year ago as
increased loan and deposit volumes as well as
higher loan spreads were more than offset by a
decline in deposit spreads in Singapore. Noninterest income was higher than both comparative
periods from higher unit trust sales, particularly in
Singapore. Expenses were lower than the previous
quarter as staff costs declined. Total allowances
fell during the quarter as higher general allowances
were more than offset by a write-back of specific
allowances in Singapore.
Enterprise Banking’s (EB) net interest income was
higher than both comparative periods due to an
increase in loan and deposit volumes as well as
higher loan spreads. Non-interest income was
below the previous quarter, when there were strong
sales of foreign exchange products to SME and
corporate clients in Hong Kong. Expenses were
lower than the previous quarter as bonus accruals
declined in line with the lower income. Total
allowances rose due to higher specific allowances
in Singapore.

loan volumes increased. Non-interest income was
higher than a year ago from increased fee-based
activities. There was a slight decline in non-interest
income from the previous quarter, when capital gains
from the sale of equity investments had been higher.
Expenses increased due to higher allocations for
support costs, while staff costs were little changed from
both comparative periods. Total allowances fell due to
lower general allowances. There was a charge for
specific allowances this quarter, compared with a writeback in both comparative periods.
Global Financial Markets’ (GFM) net interest income
rose from both comparative periods due to higher
contributions from money markets, while non-interest
income declined due to lower trading gains.

asset and liability interest rate positions as well as

periods as loans and deposits expanded. Non-interest
income increased from a year ago due to higher feebased activities, but was below the previous quarter as

quarter were minimal.
Net interest income rose from the previous quarter due to
higher loan volumes. It was lower than a year ago from
exchange translation effects.
Non-interest income fell from the previous quarter as a
decline in contributions from the sale of foreign exchange
hedging products to SME and corporate customers was
partially offset by increased unit trusts sales to individual
customers. Sales of both products were higher than a year
ago.

Compared to the previous quarter, general allowances
declined. There was a charge for specific allowances for
loans this quarter compared to a write-back in the
previous quarter.

Expenses fell from the previous quarter due to lower bonus
accruals. Compared to a year ago, lower bonus accruals
were offset by higher non-staff expenses.
