To: Shareholders

The DBS Group Holdings Ltd (“DBSH” or “the Company”) Board of Directors report unaudited financial
results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2010.
For the second quarter of 2010, the Directors have declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of
14 cents (second quarter 2009: 14 cents) for each DBSH non-voting convertible preference share
(“CPS”) and each DBSH non-voting redeemable CPS, and an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of
14 cents (second quarter 2009: 14 cents) for each DBSH ordinary share. The DBSH Scrip Dividend
Scheme will be applied to these dividends.
The DBSH shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 20 August 2010. Notice is hereby given that the Share
Transfer Books and Register of Members of the Company will be closed on 25 August 2010. Duly
completed transfers received by the Company's Registrar, Tricor Barbinder Share Registration Services
of 8 Cross Street #11-00 PWC Building, Singapore 048424 up to 5.00 p.m. on 24 August 2010 will be
registered to determine shareholders' entitlement to the second quarter 2010 dividend.
The issue price for new shares to be allotted to shareholders who have elected to receive the second
quarter 2010 dividend in scrip shall be the average of the last dealt prices of each DBSH ordinary share
on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited for each of 20, 23 and 24 August 2010, to which

a discount of 5% shall be applied.
The payment date for cash dividends / crediting of shares is 13 October 2010. In respect of ordinary
shares in the securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (“CDP”), the second quarter
2010 one-tier tax-exempt dividend will be paid by DBSH to CDP, which will in turn distribute the
dividend entitlements to shareholders, either in cash or by crediting the securities accounts of
shareholders with the relevant shares.
A separate announcement which will outline further administrative details on the application of the

Second-quarter net profit before a goodwill impairment
charge rose 35% from the previous quarter to $718
million, a quarterly record. Operating trends continued to
strengthen. There was broad-based loan growth while
non-interest income increased from higher customer flows.
Allowance coverage exceeded 100% as additional general
allowances were set aside and asset quality improved
further.
Net interest income was stable from the previous quarter
at $1.07 billion. Loans rose 9% from corporate borrowings
across the region and housing loan drawdowns in
Singapore and Hong Kong. Net interest margin fell nine
basis points to 1.84%.
Higher non-interest income resulted in an overall revenue
increase of 6% from the previous quarter. Net fee income
rose on better wealth management and credit card
revenues, while trading income benefited from higher
customer flows.
Expenses of $717 million were 2% higher than the
previous quarter. The cost-income ratio was little changed
at 40%.

The non-performing loan rate improved from 2.7% in the
previous quarter to 2.3% due to customer repayments.
Allowances of $204 million were significantly below the
previous quarter as specific allowances fell. General
allowances increased in line with loan growth.
Allowance coverage of non-performing assets improved
to 101% and to 126% if collateral was considered.
Compared to a year ago, net profit before a one-time
charge was 30% higher due mainly to lower allowance
charges.
Return on assets was 1.07% while return on equity was
11.1%. Both ratios were better than the previous
quarter.
The total capital adequacy ratio stood at 16.5% with tier1 at 13.1%.
A one-time goodwill impairment charge of $1.02 billion
was taken for DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited to reflect
heightened deposit competition. The charge has no
impact on DBS’ ability to carry out ongoing business or
pay dividends as goodwill was deducted from regulatory
capital on consolidation.

Net interest
income/margin 1/

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

Net interest was stable from the previous quarter at $1.07
billion.

The impact of the margin decline on net interest income
was offset by the strong 9% increase in customer loans.

Net interest margins fell nine basis points from the previous
quarter to 1.84%. Securities yields were lower as higheryielding securities were replaced by higher-quality bonds
with lower yields. In addition, deposit costs were higher due
to competition for US and Hong Kong dollar funding.

Net interest income was 4% below a year ago as lower
interest margins more than offset the benefit of higher asset
volumes.

Net fee and commission income rose 5% from the previous
quarter to $358 million. There was broad-based
improvement across fee activities, led by wealth
management and credit card revenues on higher volumes.

Net fee and commission income was unchanged from a
year ago as improvements in wealth management were
offset by declines in stockbroking and loan syndication
activities.

Expenses of $717 million were 2% above the previous

were partially offset by lower non-staff costs. Compared to
a year ago, costs were 14% higher as both staff and nonstaff costs rose.

The cost-income ratio of 40% was similar to the
previous quarter.

corporate loans in Rest of the World declined.
Allowances for other regions remained low.

growth, compared to $25 million in the previous quarter.
Total allowances of $204 million were 43% below the

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

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

9

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
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 higher housing loan volumes were more than
offset by a decline in their yields. Expenses rose due to
higher advertising and promotion costs. Both general
allowances and specific allowances were higher than the
previous quarter.
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 increased from higher loan volumes
partially offset by lower margins, while non-interest income
benefited from increased fee income activities and
treasury product sales. Allowance charges declined as
specific allowances for existing NPLs in Rest of the World
fell.
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 weaker net interest income. This was partially offset
by stronger trading performance and higher customer
flows.
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.
Singapore
Net profit rose from $249 million in the previous quarter to
$538 million as revenues increased and both expenses
and allowances declined.
Net interest income fell 2% as lower interest margins
more than offset strong corporate and housing loan
growth. Non-interest income rose 39% from better trading
income and gains from financial investments.
Expenses fell 23% as expenses accrued at Group level
for compensation to investors in Constellation notes were
reversed and reflected in Hong Kong. Allowances were
lower as lower specific allowances were partially offset by
an increase in general allowances.
Hong Kong
The second quarter’s results incorporate an appreciation of
the Singapore dollar against the Hong Kong dollar of 1%
from the previous quarter and 5% from a year ago.

Net profit fell from $180 million in the previous quarter to
$65 million as compensation for investors in Constellation
notes was booked in Hong Kong’s accounts. General
allowances were also higher in line with loan growth.
Net interest income decreased 2% from the previous
quarter as net interest margins declined 12 basis points to
1.68% as the securities portfolio shifted from higher-yielding
corporate bonds to high-grade government paper. Deposit
costs were also higher due to competitive pressures. Loans
rose 12% from the previous quarter as corporate loans,
trade finance and housing loans grew.
Non-interest income was stable from the previous quarter.
Higher fees from loan syndication and trade finance,
together with higher sales of treasury products, were offset
by a decline in gains from financial investments.
Expenses would have been unchanged from the previous
quarter if Constellation notes compensation charges were
excluded.
Specific allowances declined from the previous quarter as
write-backs rose and charges for new NPLs declined.
Total allowances were higher due to an increase in
general allowances.

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