Commentary
Bank Ekonomi reported profit before tax of IDR79.6bn (US$9m) for the three months to 31 March 2011, a decrease of 49% on the same period in 2010. This was due to a gain on sale of investment securities as outlined above and the increase in employee expenses of IDR33.1bn (US$4m) from higher headcount and increased staff benefits to reflect the market.
Net interest income for the three months to 31 March 2011 increased by 7%, or IDR14.3bn (US$2m), from IDR201.4bn (US$22m) for the same period of 2010. This was driven by higher gross loan balances which increased by IDR3.2tn (US$371m).
Non-interest income of IDR27.4bn (US$3m) for the three months to 31 March 2011 was reported, a decrease of 63% or IDR47.6bn (US$5m) compared to the same period in 2010.
Operating expenses for the three months to 31 March 2011 were IDR166.8bn (US$19m), an increase of 34% or IDR42.7bn (US$5m) compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was driven by higher staff costs and general and administrative expenses rising by IDR33.1bn (US$4m) and IDR9.6bn (US$1m) respectively. General and administrative expenses increased mostly due to higher IT expenses as Bank Ekonomi continued to invest in IT. This lead to the cost efficiency ratio for the three months to 31 March 2011 increasing to 66.75% compared to 44.88% in the same period in 2010.
Total assets at 31 March 2011 decreased by IDR518.3bn (US$60m), or 2%, compared to 31 December 2010. Placement with Bank Indonesia and other banks of IDR3.7tn (US$425m) decreased by IDR2.1tn (US$241m), or 36%, although this was partially offset by increases in loan and advances, investment securities and demand deposits with Bank Indonesia of IDR688.5bn (US$79m), IDR501.4bn (US$58m) and IDR347.6bn (US$40m) respectively.
Customer deposits at 31 March 2010 fell slightly to IDR17.9tn (US$2.1bn) from IDR18.4tn (US$2bn) compared to 31 December 2010.
