It's 52% lower YoY.

Philippine-based Philippine Business Bank (PBB) posted 9M14 net earnings of PHP481m, 52% lower YoY which accounts for 70% of Maybank Kim Eng's FY14 estimate and 74% of consensus.

According to a research note from Maybank Kim Eng, the bank attributed the decline to uncertainty in the treasury market and higher operating costs from branch and manpower expansion.

Loans grew 22% YoY to PHP34.4b boosting interest income up 30% to PHP2b. Deposits grew 27% YoY to PHP43b and drove interest costs 16% to PHP431m.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
