OCBC Group First Half 2025 Net Profit at S$3.70 billion

Interim dividend of 41 cents declared

Singapore, 1 August 2025 – Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (“OCBC”) reported net profit 

of S$3.70 billion for the first half of 2025 (“1H25”), 6% below the record S$3.93 billion in the previous year 

(“1H24”).

OCBC’s total income was little changed, as a decline in net interest income from the peak level a year ago 

was mostly compensated by robust fee and trading income growth. Cost-to-income ratio was maintained 

below 40%, and higher credit allowances were set aside in view of the current uncertain operating 

environment. Asset quality remained benign with non-performing loan ratio at 0.9%, while allowance 

coverage for total non-performing assets stood at 156%. The Group maintained its solid financial position, 

and an interim ordinary dividend of 41 cents was declared, representing a payout ratio of 50% of 1H25 

Group net profit. The Group remains committed to the previously announced S$2.5 billion capital return 

which includes a special dividend amounting to 10% of our FY25 Group net profit and share buybacks over 

two years, to be completed in 2026. Together with OCBC’s target 50% ordinary dividend payout ratio, this 

represents a total dividend payout ratio of 60% for FY25.

H25 Year-on-Year Performance

Group net profit was S$3.70 billion, 6% lower than S$3.93 billion a year ago.

➢ Amid a softening interest rate environment, net interest income fell 5% to S$4.63 billion, as a 

compression in net interest margin (“NIM”) more than offset an 8% rise in average asset volume. 

Average asset growth was driven by an increase in loans and other interest-earning high-quality assets 

which were lower yielding. NIM declined by 25 basis points to 1.98%, as the drop in asset yields 

outpaced the decrease in funding costs.

➢ Non-interest income grew 8% to S$2.57 billion, buoyed by a rise in fee and trading income.

• Net fee income of S$1.13 billion was 19% higher from broad-based growth, underpinned by 

increased customer activities. In particular, wealth management fees which made up nearly half 

of net fee income, surged by 25%, with growth across all wealth product channels. 

• Net trading income was S$771 million, 6% above the previous year. Customer flow treasury 

income was up 10%, driven by both wealth and corporate segments, with higher treasury sales 

across the Group’s key markets.

• Insurance income from Great Eastern Holdings (“GEH”) declined by 9% to S$532 million, largely 

attributable to the mark-to-market impact of decline in interest rates on the valuation of insurance 

contract liabilities, as well as lower valuation of private equity holdings, from its insurance funds. 

New business embedded value (“NBEV”) increased by 16% to S$317 million and NBEV margin 

rose to 44.7% from 28.0% a year ago, driven by improved insurance product mix.

➢ The Group’s wealth management income, comprising income from private banking, premier private 

client, premier banking, insurance, asset management and stockbroking, increased 4% to S$2.66 

billion. Group wealth management income accounted for 37% of total income, higher than 35% in 1H24.

Our Banking wealth management AUM expanded by 11% to an all-time high of S$310 billion, driven 

by both net new money inflows and positive market valuation.

➢ Operating expenses were S$2.80 billion, up 3% from the previous year. Staff costs were 4% higher, 

attributable to annual salary increments and increased variable compensation linked to higher business 

activities. Technology-related expenses were up as the Group continued to invest in common platforms

and upgrade its capabilities across markets. Cost-to-income ratio was 38.9% for 1H25, compared to 

37.5% for 1H24.

➢ Total allowances rose by 4% to S$326 million, mainly due to an increase in allowances for non-

impaired assets. 

➢ Share of results of associates was S$537 million, up 8% from S$498 million a year ago.

➢ The Group’s annualised return on equity was 12.6%, lower than 14.5% in the preceding year, while 

annualised earnings per share was S$1.64, 6% below 1H24.

CapLand India Tr 1st Half Results is out. NPI is up 14 percent to INR9.6 billion DPU is up 9 percent to 3.97 cents. Nice sets of financial numbers

  - CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) announced a 9% year-on-year

(y-o-y) increase in distribution per unit (DPU) to 3.97 Singapore cents for the six months ended 

30 June 2025 (1H FY 2025). 1H FY 2025 net property income (NPI) increased by 14% y-o-y in 

Indian Rupee (INR) terms and 10% in Singapore Dollar (SGD) terms due to higher property 

income, partially offset by higher operating expenses during the period.

Income available for distribution for the same period grew by 15% y-o-y in INR terms and 10% in 

SGD terms, mainly due to higher NPI, partially offset by higher net finance costs and Trustee-

Manager fees.

Mr Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam, Chief Executive Officer of CapitaLand India Trust 

Management Pte. Ltd. (the Trustee-Manager of CLINT), said: “CLINT’s strong first half results

were underpinned by income contributions from newly completed developments, and supported 

by positive rental reversions and high occupancy rates. This reflects the strength and resilience 

of our portfolio across key cities in India.” 

“Revenue contribution from one of our data centres is set to commence in the second half of 2025 

and development of the data centres is progressing well. We are actively engaging potential 

buyers to divest some of our assets, including partial stakes in our data centres to unlock value 

and reduce debt. These potential divestments are part of our active portfolio management 

strategy, which will increase our financial flexibility to pursue higher-yielding assets and deliver 

sustainable returns for unitholders.”

Financial performance

Total property income for 1H FY 2025 increased by 14% y-o-y to INR9.6 billion, mainly driven by 

higher rental income from existing properties compared to the same period last year.

The increase also reflects new income contributions from two newly completed and fully leased 

developments - MTB 6 at International Tech Park Bangalore and CyberVale Free Trade 

Warehousing Zone in Chennai, which commenced operations in 1H 2025. Additional 

contributions came from aVance II in Pune and Building Q2 in Mumbai, which were acquired in 

March 2024 and July 2024 respectively.

Portfolio performance and capital management

As at 30 June 2025, CLINT achieved a committed portfolio occupancy of 90% and registered

positive portfolio rental reversions of 9%.

CLINT’s gearing stood at 42.3% as at 30 June 2025. On 2 July 2025, S$100 million of 4.40% 

subordinated perpetual securities were issued, the proceeds of which were used for debt 

repayment. With this, the pro forma gearing ratio has reduced to 40.1%. Of CLINT’s total 

borrowings, 77.2% are on fixed interest rates, and 54.2% are hedged into INR. The Trust 

maintains a debt headroom of approximately S$692 million.

CLCT posts 1H 2025 net property income of RMB580.3 million

Upgrades underway at three retail malls to transform former anchor 

supermarket spaces into higher-yielding concepts 

Singapore, 30 July 2025 – CapitaLand China Trust (CLCT) reported a net property income 

(NPI) of RMB580.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (

CLCT posts 1H 2025 net property income of RMB580.3 million

Upgrades underway at three retail malls to transform former anchor 

supermarket spaces into higher-yielding1H 2025). NPI was 

impacted by lower gross revenue, partially mitigated by a 2.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) reduction 

in operating expenses across CLCT’s overall portfolio.

The decrease in gross revenue was attributed to lower contributions from the retail portfolio, 

largely due to ongoing supermarket upgrades at three retail malls, and lower occupancy at the 

business parks portfolio. This was partially offset by stronger performance from the logistics 

parks portfolio, which recorded a 2.0% y-o-y increase.

CLCT’s 1H 2025 Distribution Per Unit (DPU) was 2.49 Singapore cents. The lower DPU 

resulted from a decline in NPI and the weakening of the Renminbi (RMB) against the 

Singapore Dollar (SGD), which was partially offset by savings in finance costs. Including 

distributions from CapitaMall Yuhuating, which were retained

in view of its divestment to 

CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT (CLCR) as a seed asset, the DPU would have been 2.59 

Singapore cents.

CLCT’s 1H 2025 Distribution Per Unit (DPU) was 2.49 Singapore cents. The lower DPU 

resulted from a decline in NPI and the weakening of the Renminbi (RMB) against the

in view of its divestment to 

CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT (CLCR) as a seed asset, the DPU would have been 2.59

On 29 July 2025, CLCT obtained Unitholders’ approval for the divestment of CapitaMall 

Yuhuating to CLCR for no less than the minimum floor price of RMB748 million (approximately

S$134.9 million) and CLCT’s subscription for a 5% strategic stake in CLCR. With Unitholders’ 

approval received, CLCT, together with its sponsor CapitaLand Investment and CapitaLand 

Development, who are joint strategic investors in CLCR, will proceed to seek the local 

authorities’ approval for the listing of CLCR targeted around 3Q/4Q 2025. CLCT’s receipt of 

the gross proceeds from the divestment is subject to and shall take place after the completion 

of the CLCR offering.

Mr Gerry Chan, CEO of CLCTML, the manager of CLCT, said: “Despite ongoing economic 

headwinds in China, our portfolio continues to demonstrate resilience. Our retail occupancy 

remained high at 96.9% in 1H 2025, while we increased the occupancy of our business parks 

and logistics portfolio by proactively attracting tenants in key sectors aligned with China’s priorities, we are well-positioned to capture policy-driven opportunities as China pursues 

high-quality growth.” 

“We remain focused on seizing opportunities in China’s domestic market, including our 

strategic participation in the C-REIT, which offers new capital recycling pathways and 

attractive growth potential. The divestment of CapitaMall Yuhuating will unlock value from a 

mature retail asset, enhance our financial flexibility and strengthen our balance sheet. 

Through CLCT’s strategic stake in CLCR, we will continue to enhance long-term, sustainable 

returns for our Unitholders.”

“As part of our disciplined capital management, we have leveraged the easing interest rates 

in China to increase our RMB-denominated debt. The RMB share of total debt rose from 27% 

in 1H 2024 to 41% in 1H 2025, and we remain on track to meet our 50% target by end 2025. 

This strengthens our natural hedging position, mitigates foreign exchange fluctuations and 

optimises funding costs,” added Mr Chan.
