Ocbc Bank - OCBC Group Full Year 2025 Net Profit at S$7.42 billion Full year profit before tax up 2% to a new high of S$9.12 billion Proposed ordinary dividend of 42 cents and special dividend of 16 cents Total dividend payout at 60 percent.
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (“OCBC”) reported net
profit of S$7.42 billion for the full year of 2025 (“FY25”), which was 2% below the record S$7.59 billion in
the previous year (“FY24”). Profit before tax rose 2% to a new high of S$9.12 billion, supported by record
total income amid a declining interest rate environment, reflecting the strength of the Group’s diversified
income streams. Tax expense was 27% higher mainly due to increased profit contribution from higher tax
jurisdictions, and implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar Two which requires
a top-up to 15% minimum global tax for each jurisdiction.
OCBC delivered record income of S$14.6 billion, driven by 16% non-interest income growth, which more
than offset the lower net interest income. Operating expenses were well managed with cost-to-income
(“CIR”) ratio remaining at 40%, as the Group continued to invest for strategic growth while exercising
discipline in discretionary spending. Asset quality continued to be stable with non-performing loan (“NPL”)
ratio at 0.9% for the seventh quarter. Total credit costs were lower at 17 basis points, while allowance
coverage for non-performing assets stood at 151%.
