Profitability continues to be under pressure
Pudong Development Bank's 23Q1-3 net profit decreased by 30.8% year on year, an increase of 7.5pc from 23H1; revenue decreased 7.6% year on year, and the decline was basically the same as 23H1, and profit performance continued to be under pressure. Judging from the driving factors, the decline in profit growth is mainly due to the active increase in impairment charges and the consolidation of the business foundation. 23Q1-3 SPD Bank's asset impairment losses increased 5.7% year over year, and the growth rate increased 4.6 pc from 23H1. Looking ahead, it is expected that Pudong Development Bank will continue to strengthen its foundation and promote business transformation, and profit performance will remain marginal pressure.
Interest spreads bucked the trend and stabilized
Pudong Development Bank's 23Q3 net interest spread (early end of a single quarter, same below) bucked the trend and rose slightly by 1 bps to 1.53% month-on-month, attributable to the initial results of the capital burden restructuring.
Looking at the driving factors: (1) Asset side: The yield on interest-bearing assets rose slightly by 2 bps to 3.82% month-on-month, mainly due to improvements in loan structure. In 23Q3, Sueppu Development Bank took the initiative to reduce interest rate on notes discounting. Note discounting at the end of 23Q3 fell 7.7% month-on-month, a decrease of 6.6pc larger than total loans. (2) Debt side: The cost ratio of interest-bearing debt remained flat at 2.28% month-on-month. The judgment was that the active pressure on high-cost deposits was reduced, hedging the impact of deposit regularization. Looking ahead, affected by industry factors such as stock mortgage interest rate cuts, it is expected that there will still be marginal downward pressure on SPD Bank's interest rate spread.
There have been fluctuations in the bad
Pudong Development Bank's bad rate and attention rate at the end of 23Q3 were +2 bp and +19 bp, respectively. The bad indicators fluctuated. The main reason for the judgment: the risk industry upward trend in the real estate and retail sectors, compounded by the implementation of new financial asset classification regulations, has led to stricter adverse assessments.
