Stock News 2011: BDO net income soars 46% to P8.8 B

Banco De Oro Unibank, Inc. (BDO) reported a 46 percent jump in audited net income last year to P8.8 billion from the P6 billion it earned in 2009, exceeding its initial earnings guidance of P8.1 billion.

The Bank, prior to the income release, has reported that its consolidated resources hit the P1-trillion mark at the end of 2010, making it the first Philippine bank to achieve that milestone.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, BDO said its strong performance was a result of a more diversified and sustainable earnings stream from its core lending, deposit-taking and service businesses.

Gross customer loans expanded 15 percent to P541.5 billion with firm growth across all business segments. Total deposits, meanwhile, rose 13 percent to P782.6 billion.

A larger earning asset base coupled with lower funding costs resulted in the 12-percent increase in net interest income to P34.2 billion.

The bank’s fee-based service income likewise grew to P10.4 billion on strong contributions from trust, private banking, remittance, transaction banking, insurance, investment banking, and credit cards.
