Affin Group Posts 21% Higher Profit For Q2 To RM148 Million
AFFIN Group recorded a Profit After Tax after of RM267 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, marking a robust year-on-year (YoY) increase of RM64.9 million or 22.1% from RM293.1 million in 1H2024. The growth was driven by a RM160.9 million rise in net income, partially offset by a RM80.2 million increase in impairment allowances. For the second quarter, the group recorded a PAT of RM143 million, up from RM118 million achieved in the previous year's period. Revenue also improved to RM616 million compared to RM494 million. The Group's gross loans and financing portfolio expanded by 7.3% YoY to RM74.1 billion, up from RM69.0 billion a year earlier. Customer deposits rose by 9.8% to RM78.2 billion, while the Current Account and Savings Account (CASA) ratio improved to 28.2% as at 30 June 2025, compared to 25.9% in the same period last year—reflecting AFFIN's continued success in building a low-cost deposit base. Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of AFFIN Group, commented, 'AFFIN's strong first-half performance underscores the effectiveness of our focused growth strategy under the Axelerate 2028 (AX28) Plan. The launch of our mobile banking app, AffinAlwaysX, in May 2025 has been instrumental in accelerating CASA growth.' He added, 'Our inaugural USD300 million Senior Unsecured Notes issuance was 3.5 times oversubscribed, signalling strong global investor confidence. This milestone enhances our access to cost-effective USD funding and strengthens our position to pursue strategic cross-border financing opportunities aligned with AX28.' 'Despite a 19.6% YoY increase in CASA deposits, the Group saw a 9.2% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline, attributed to a shift towards Fixed Deposits amid global market uncertainties. AFFIN is actively implementing a new CASA payroll strategy to reignite and sustain CASA growth. Enterprise Banking continues to gain momentum, delivering a 15.4% YoY increase in loans— expected to positively impact the Group's Net Interest Margin.' Net interest income (NII) recorded RM418.8 million, an increase of RM32.8 million or 8.5% as compared to the previous corresponding period of RM386.0 million. While non-interest income for the period under review was RM324.8 million, an increase of 14.3% or RM40.7 million from RM284.1 million registered in the previous corresponding period.

Despite the tight monetary environment and global macroeconomic headwinds, the Group maintained prudent cost and credit discipline. While remaining cautious about the near-term outlook due to external volatility, AFFIN Group expresses confidence in its ability to navigate the landscape, supported by healthy asset quality, a well-diversified balance sheet, and disciplined execution.
