PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk (Danamon) today announced a consolidated net profit after tax (NPAT)
of Rp 3.336 trillion for the year of 2011, which is a 16% growth compared to Rp 2.883 trillion in 2010. The
NPAT growth is supported by strong lending growth in the mass market, small and medium enterprises
(SME) segments as well as a rise in fee income. A successful rights issue in 2011 has also strengthened
the Bank’s capital base, enabling a continued expansion.
“Indonesia’s economic resilience, reflected by its ratings upgrade to investment grade amid debt woes in
Europe and slow recovery in the US, created a positive operating environment that enabled us to sustain a
strong lending growth,” said Henry Ho, President Director of Danamon.
Danamon’s loans reached Rp 101.7 trillion in 2011, or a 23% growth compared to Rp 82.7 trillion in 2010.
Mass market loans, which include auto loans, durable goods loans, loans for self-employed mass market and syariah-based gold-backed financing, booked a 26% growth to Rp 59.252 trillion. Mass market loans accounted for 58% of Danamon’s total portfolio.
In 2011, Danamon’s SME and Commercial banking (mid-size) booked a 23% growth in lending to Rp 24
trillion, which represented 24% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Specifically, SME loans booked 27% growth to
Rp 14.2 trillion, while Commercial Banking recorded 19% in lending growth to Rp 10 trillion. Moreover,
Danamon’s ABF (Assets Based Financing) unit, which offers heavy equipments financing mostly to our midsize customers in mining and agribusiness industries, posted a 59% loan growth to Rp 4.573 trillion.
“The strong loan growth across our businesses is accompanied by prudent and disciplined banking practices. As a result, we manage to press down our non-performing loans,” said Vera Eve Lim, Danamon Director and Chief Financial Officer. At the end of 2011, Danamon’s gross non-performing loan ratio improved to 2.5% compared to 3.0% at the end of 2010.
“In addition to recording a healthy growth in lending, Danamon’s fee income also increased by 24% to Rp
4.131 trillion on the back of higher credit related fees and fees from bancassurance,” continued Vera. Income from credit related fees has grown by 29% to Rp 3.049 trillion, in line with the Bank’s lending growth, while bancassurance fee income rose by 196% to Rp 330 billion, boosted by a strategic partnership with Manulife Indonesia in the third quarter of 2011.
The Bank’s auto financing business through Adira Finance booked Rp 1.511 trillion in NPAT, which is a
13% year-on-year growth. Adira Finance also issued Rp 41.363 trillion in loans throughout 2011, a 35% year-on-year increase, placing Adira Finance as the leader in the industry. Furthermore, Adira Finance is in
a favorable position to continue growing, after a successful Rp 5 trillion fixed rate bonds issuance in 2011. Meanwhile, Adira Insurance, a subsidiary in general insurance business, recorded an NPAT growth of Rp
331 billion or 26% growth versus previous year on the back of a 36% growth to Rp 1.474 trillion in gross
written premiums. As part of its growth strategy, Adira Insurance added 10 outlets in 2011 and is planning
to open 11 more outlets in 2012.
“In 2011, Danamon successfully raised approximately Rp 5 trillion through a rights issue, which further
strengthened our capital base and put us in a good position to pursue further growth,” added Henry. The
rights issue, which recorded a 113% subscription rate, raised the bank’s consolidated capital adequacy ratio
(CAR) from 16% in a year earlier to 17.5% by the end of 2011, which is well beyond the regulatory
requirement of 8%.
“Following a successful rights issue, we have a greater capacity to expand our network further,” said Vera.
In 2011, Danamon and its subsidiaries added 393 branches and outlets to reach out wider areas. Notable
additions in 2011 include 178 new Danamon Simpan Pinjam branches, 103 Adira Finance branches and
outlets, and 42 Adira Kredit branches and points of sales. To support its network expansion, Danamon hired
more than 9,000 employees throughout 2011, created more job opportunities and brought total employees
to 70,949.
Moving forward, Danamon continues to increase its physical presence by approximately 300 more locations
in 2012, including close to 150 Syariah-based gold-backed financing units (‘Solusi Emas Syariah’) in 2012.
Similarly, in 2012, Adira Finance plans to open 112 additional outlets, while Adira Kredit plans to add 59
additional outlets. To complement the Bank’s network expansion, Danamon has also enhanced its internet and mobile banking services. The Bank’s continuous efforts to improve its internet banking service were well rewarded with a large increase in the utilization of ‘Danamon Online Banking,’ which now reaches about 1.5 million transactions per month. This number is expected to grow further.
The Bank’s total funding rose 9% to Rp 88.054 trillion in 2011 from Rp 80.921 trillion a year earlier on the
back of solid growth in its current account and savings account (CASA), which grew by 12% to Rp 36.433
trillion or 41% of total customer deposits. “The growth in CASA is consistent with the Banks’ strategy to
strengthen its funding franchises,” added Vera.
“We continue to invest in funding franchise, among others, through network expansion. We plan to open
close to 70 conventional branches and add approximately 600 ATMs from 2011 until the end of 2012,”
explained Vera.
