For the first half of 2011, the Directors have declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of 28
cents (first half 2010: 28 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 28 cents (first
half 2010: 28 cents) for each DBSH ordinary share. The DBSH Scrip Dividend Scheme will be applied
to these dividends.
The first half 2011 one-tier tax exempt dividend is currently scheduled to be paid on or about 30

Second-quarter net profit fell 9% from the previous quarter
as market-related income declined. Underlying operating
trends were positive as customer-related income
continued to grow.
Net interest income rose 7% from the previous quarter to a
record $1.20 billion. Loans rose 7% from regional
corporate borrowing. Net interest margin was stable at
1.80%.
Fee income fell 7% from the previous quarter to $387
million. Lower contributions from investment banking and
stockbroking more than offset improvements in customer
fees from wealth management, trade and remittances and
credit cards. Other non-interest income fell 32% to $252
million as trading gains declined. Income from customer
flows for treasury products was comparable to the
previous quarter.
Expenses rose 3% from the previous quarter to $798
million, and the cost-income ratio rose to 43%.

The non-performing loan rate improved from 1.8% in the
previous quarter to 1.5% due to customer repayments
and loan upgrading. Specific allowances remained low
at seven basis points of loans compared to nine basis
points in the previous quarter. General allowances were
higher in line with loan growth. Allowance coverage rose
to 113% of non-performing assets and to 148% if
collateral was considered.
Compared to a year ago, net profit was 2% higher than
second quarter 2010. Net interest income and
customer-driven non-interest income were higher, and
allowances were lower. These were offset by lower
trading gains and higher expenses.
Return on assets was 0.98% while return on equity was
10.6%. The total capital adequacy ratio stood at 16.5%
with Tier 1 at 13.5% and core Tier 1 at 11.5%.
For the first half, net profit rose 23% to a record $1.54
billion as higher business volumes drove net interest
income and non-interest income to a new high.

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

Net interest income rose 7% from the previous quarter to
$1.20 billion as interest asset volumes, led by customer
loans, increased. Net interest margins were stable at
1.80%. Customer loan yields and deposit costs were
unchanged from the previous quarter, while other asset
yields and liability costs were little changed.

Compared to a year ago, net interest income was 12%
higher as an increase in interest asset volumes was
partially offset by a four basis point reduction in net interest
margins.
For the first half, net interest income rose 9% to a record
$2.32 billion as higher customer loan volumes were partially
offset by lower net interest margins.

Net fee and commission income decreased 7% from the
previous quarter to $387 million. Stockbroking commissions
declined due to lower market volumes. Investment banking
fees, which had benefited from strong IPO activity in the
previous quarter, also fell. These declines more than offset
gains in trade and remittances, wealth management and
credit cards.

Compared to a year ago, net fee and commission income
was 8% higher as improved contributions from investment
banking, trade and remittances and wealth management
were partially offset by a decline in stockbroking
commissions.
Net fee and commission income for the first half rose 15%
to $803 million as contributions increased in a broad range
of activities.

Note:
NM Not Meaningful

Net trading income (including net income from financial
instruments designated at fair value) fell to $146 million
from $258 million in the previous quarter and $278
million a year ago. The decline was due to the markedto-market impact of hedges taken for fixed income
investments. Income from customer flows was
comparable to the previous quarter and higher than a
year ago.

For the first half, net trading income fell 20% from a year
ago to $404 million. Higher income from customer flows
was more than offset by a decline in trading gains. Total
other non-interest income fell 10% to $623 million as the
decline in net trading income was partially offset by
higher net income from financial investments.

Specific allowances for loans are classified according to where the borrower is incorporated.

Specific allowances for loans fell to $27 million from $34
million in the previous quarter and $68 million a year ago
as customer repayments increased. General allowances
rose 62% from the previous quarter to $99 million in line
with loan growth.

For the first half, total allowances fell 53% to $262
million, with an 84% decline in specific allowances for
loans partially offset by higher specific allowances for
non-loan assets and general allowances.

2/ 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 various business segments are described below:

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
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, total income rose 10%
to $562 million. Net interest income rose on loan and
deposit volume growth. Expenses rose 4% to $377
million due mainly to higher staff costs. Higher specific
allowances accounted for most of the increase in
allowance charges.
Compared to a year ago, total income increased 8%. The
increase in net interest income was due to higher loan
and deposit volumes partially offset by lower interest
margins. Non-interest interest income benefited from
higher wealth management contributions. Staff and nonstaff costs were higher. Allowances were little changed.
Institutional Banking
Institutional Banking provides financial services and
products to institutional clients including non bank
financial institutions, government linked companies,
large corporates and small and medium-sized
businesses. The business focus is to broaden and
deepen the financial relationship with clients. The
products and services available to customers include
long and short term credit facilities ranging from
specialised lending such as asset financing, project
financing and real estate financing to overdraft, trade,
receivables financing and structured trade; cash
management and deposit; treasury and markets;
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 and private
equity. 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.
Compared to the previous quarter, total income was
unchanged at $987 million. An increase in net interest
income due to higher loan and deposit volumes was offset
by a decline in non-interest income. Expenses increased
8% to $318 million on higher staff and non-staff costs.
General allowances were higher.
Compared to a year ago, total income grew 7% on higher
loan and deposit volumes as well as better treasury
product cross-seling. Expenses were 23% higher due to
increased headcount and investment costs to support
higher business volumes. Allowances declined 59% as
specific allowances fell.
Treasury
Treasury provides treasury services to corporations,
institutional and private investors, financial institutions and
other market participants. It is primarily involved in sales,
structuring, market making and trading across a broad
range of financial products including foreign exchange,
interest rate, debt, 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
facilitating the execution of Group’s asset and liability
interest rate positions and management of the investment
of the Group’s excess liquidity and shareholders’ funds.
Treasury income fell 23% from the previous quarter and
35% from a year ago to $233 million as an increase in net
interest income was more than offset by a decline in noninterest income.
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
Compared to the previous quarter, net profit rose 4% to
$459 million.  
Net interest income grew 4% to $728 million as corporate
and consumer loans increased. Non-interest income fell
15% to $394 million due to lower trading gains.  

  

Expenses rose 2% to $476 million from higher staff costs.
Allowances halved to $61 million, helped by write-backs
of specific allowances as a result of customer repayments.
General allowances were higher in line with stronger loan
growth.
Compared to a year ago, net profit was 15% lower. The
increase in net interest income was more than offset by
non-interest income decline and higher expenses. In 2010,
there was a reversal of compensation to Constellation
note holders from Singapore to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong
The second quarter’s results incorporate an appreciation
of the Singapore dollar against the Hong Kong dollar of
3% from the previous quarter and 11% from a year ago.
Net profit fell 25% from the previous quarter to $143
million. Net interest income rose 5% to $199m as loans
increased 14% in local currency terms. Net interest
margins were stable. Non-interest income fell 12% to
$177 million. Higher fee income from loans, wealth
management and trade were offset by lower Treasury
income.

Expenses were comparable to the previous quarter at
$154 million. Total allowances increased five-fold to $54
million, with most of the increase due to general
allowances in line with loan growth. Specific allowances
were also higher.
Compared to a year ago, net profit more than doubled,
mainly due to higher total income and lower expenses
due to compensation to Constellation note holders in the
previous year, partly offset by higher allowances.
Other countries
Net profit for Rest of Greater China declined 19% from
the previous quarter to $43 million. The increase in net
interest income from higher loan and deposit volumes
was partly offset by a decline in non-interest income.
Expenses increased 12% mainly from higher staff and
marketing costs. Total allowances increased due to
higher recoveries in the previous quarter.
Compared to a year ago, net profit grew 258%. Higher
net interest income and lower specific allowances were
partially offset by an increase in expenses.
Net profit for South and South-east Asia declined 17%
from the previous quarter to $62 million. The increase in
net interest income from higher securities and loan
volumes was offset by lower non-interest income.
Expenses increased 7% mainly from higher staff costs.
Specific allowances were unchanged while general
allowances rose driven by increase in loan volumes.
Compared to a year ago, net profit rose 13%. Increase in
net interest income and lower specific allowances were
partially offset by a fall in non interest income and higher
expenses.

Gross customer loans rose 7% from the previous
quarter to $171.5 billion. The growth was led by
corporate borrowing in Singapore and rest of Greater
China. Part of the increase was due to short-term trade
financing for China-incorporated corporates.

Gross loans were 15% higher than a year ago, with the
expansion spread across regions and across corporate
and consumer borrowers.

and interest.

The Group’s capital adequacy ratio declined from 17.2% to 16.5% due primarily to an increase in risk-weighted assets. The
impact of the redemption of the DBS Bank S$1.1 billion 6% preference shares in May 2011 was offset by dividends retained
through the DBSH Scrip Dividend Scheme and profits for the quarter.
