Performance Review
2025 versus 2024
Operating profit for 2025 stood at $7.7 billion, easing from last year's record high against an industry backdrop of margin compression and heightened market volatility. Core business drivers remained robust, underpinned by healthy loan expansion, alongside strong growth in fee income and customer treasury flows. Net profit moderated 23% to $4.7 billion primarily due to the Group's proactive decision to strengthen coverage through pre-emptive provisioning in light of evolving macroeconomic conditions and sector-specific challenges.
Net interest income fell 3% year on year to $9.4 billion as net interest margin narrowed 14 basis points to 1.89% on the back of lower benchmark rates. Notwithstanding margin pressures, loan growth remained healthy at 4%, underpinned by a diversified franchise and strong market position. Net fee income rose 7% to a new record of $2.6 billion, as wealth management and loan-related fees reached new heights amid favourable market conditions and rising consumer confidence. Other non-interest income came in at $1.9 billion, down 15% from a year ago as trading income and liquidity management activities normalised following last year's exceptional performance. Customer-related treasury income however registered an all-time high fuelled by strong hedging and investment demand.
Total expenses edged down 2% year on year, with cost-to-income ratio at 44.6%, supported by active cost discipline alongside targeted strategic investments. Total allowance rose to $2.0 billion reflecting pre-emptive provisioning to further reinforce the Group's balance sheet strength.
2H25 versus 2H24
Net profit for 2H25 moderated to $1.9 billion, compared with the second half of last year reflecting margin compression and dynamic market conditions, alongside higher allowance from pre-emptive provisioning.
Net interest income eased 6% to $4.6 billion, primarily from a lower net interest margin due to lower benchmark rates and competitive pricing, offset by loan growth of 4%. Net fee income rose 3% to $1.2 billion, marking the second highest level on record, supported by wealth and loan-related activities. Customer-related treasury income continued its strong momentum, reaching a new high, while other non-interest income fell to $837 million as trading and investment income normalised from last year's exceptional levels.
Total expenses declined 4% with cost-to-income ratio at 45.8%. Total allowance was $1.5 billion largely from the preemptive general allowance set aside in 2H25.
2H25 versus 1H25
Against the first half of the year, net profit was lower at $1.9 billion from thinner margins, softer fee income and trading and investment performance, as well as higher allowance.
Net interest income dipped 3% as net interest margin remained under pressure from declining benchmark rates, partially offset by healthy loan growth of 3%. Net fee income moderated 7% from a record first half, while other non-interest income declined 20% on lower contributions from trading and investment activities.
Total expenses remained flat at $3.1 billion reflecting continued cost discipline. Total allowance increased due to preemptive provisioning and higher specific allowance on a few non-systemic corporate accounts.
Asset Quality
The Group's performing loans coverage was stable at 1.0% as of 31 December 2025. Non-performing loan (NPL) ratio stood at 1.5%, with non-performing assets (NPA) coverage adequate at 97% or 254% after taking collateral into account.
Capital, Funding and Liquidity Positions
The Group's capital, funding and liquidity positions remained strong. As at 31 December 2025, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Adequacy Ratio was healthy at 15.1%. 2H25's average All-currency Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 145% and Net Stable Funding Ratio at 116%, were all well above regulatory requirements.

Total allowance for 2025 rose to $2.0 billion reflecting pre-emptive provisioning to further reinforce the Group's balance sheet strength.
Compared with the second half of last year, 2H25 total allowances increased to $1.5 billion, largely from the preemptive general allowance set aside in 2H25.
Against 1H25, total allowance for 2H25 increased due to pre-emptive general allowance and higher specific allowance set aside in 2H25.
Notes:
General allowance refers to Expected Credit Loss Stage 1 and Stage 2 under SFRS(I) 9.
Specific allowance refers to Expected Credit Loss Stage 3 and Expected Credit Loss on purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets under SFRS(I) 9.

Performance by Business Segment (cont'd)
Business segment performance reporting is prepared based on the Group's organisation structure. Business segments' results include all applicable revenue, expenses, internal fund transfer price and cost allocations associated with the activities of the business. Transactions between business segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to third party transactions and they are eliminated on consolidation.
The Banking Group is organised into three major business segments - Group Retail, Group Wholesale Banking and Global Markets. Others include non-banking activities and corporate functions.
Group Retail ("GR")
GR segment covers individual customers.
Customers have access to a diverse range of products and services, including deposits, insurance, card, wealth management, investment and loan products which are available across the Group's global branch network.
In 2025, profit before tax declined 5% year on year to $2.0 billion due mainly to lower income. This was offset by relief of one-off expenses and operational merger frictions arising from Citi's integration in Thailand last year, resulting in lower expenses and allowance. Total income eased 7% to $5.1 billion, reflecting the backdrop of falling interest rates and intense competition across key markets. Despite these headwinds, the underlying franchise delivered growth, achieving a double-digit trajectory in wealth management income and CASA balances, supported by strong customer value propositions.
Compared to 2H24 and 1H25, 2H25 profit before tax fell 19% and 18% respectively to $0.9 billion, driven by tighter margin. The half-on-half decline was further impacted by higher allowance and year-end increase in costs.

2025 profit before tax decreased 22% year on year to $3.4 billion on total income of $6.2 billion. Total income reduced 7% amid lower interest rates and keen competition for quality clients across the banking industry. This was partially cushioned by record-high investment banking fees, double-digit growth in CASA and trade assets backed by pan-regional transaction banking platforms, and healthy treasury customer flows. Operating expenses eased 4% to $1.7 billion, broadly in line with income trends. Allowance was higher at $1.1 billion due to an increase in allowance set aside for selected markets and sector.
Profit before tax in 2H25 decreased 34% against a year ago and 43% compared with 1H25, to $1.2 billion. The drop was chiefly attributable to higher credit costs and margin pressure, partly buttressed by lower expenses and volume growth.
Global Markets ("GM")
GM provides a comprehensive suite of treasury products and services across multi-asset classes which includes foreign exchange, interest rate, credit, commodities, equities and structured investment products to help customers manage market risks and volatility. GM also engages in market making activities and management of funding and liquidity.
Income from products and services offered to customers of Group Retail and Group Wholesale Banking are reflected in the respective client segments.
Against 2024, profit before tax nearly doubled to $755 million in 2025. Total income soared 51% to $1.1 billion, led by lower funding costs, alongside growth in activities across foreign exchange and equities. Operating expenses increased by 4% to $275 million in tandem with income performance.
Compared with 2H24, profit before tax rose 26% to $364 million, fuelled by trading opportunities amid market volatility and improved cost of funds.
Performance by Business Segment (cont'd)
Others
Others include corporate support functions, decisions not attributable to business segments mentioned above and other activities, which comprises property, insurance and investment management.
Others reported a loss before tax of $512 million, as pre-emptive general allowance was set aside to fortify reserve buffers against ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
Compared with 2H24 and 1H25, the half-on-half swing in profit was attributable to lower income.

Singapore
Profit before tax was $4.2 billion in 2025, reflecting a decline from last year amid thinner rates and higher credit costs, though healthy loan demand and robust fee income performance reaffirmed the franchise strength in Singapore. Net interest income eased 6% year on year to $5.1 billion due to lower benchmark rates and competitive pricing, partially cushioned by active balance sheet management and quality asset growth. Non-interest income fell 8% to $2.5 billion as lower trading and investment gains masked record loan fees and double-digit expansion in wealth management income. Operating expenses edged down 2% to $3.2 billion, backed by disciplined cost management. Total allowance rose to $277 million as general allowance was strengthened in response to macroeconomic uncertainties, even as portfolio quality remained resilient in the home market.
Compared with 2H24 and 1H25, profit before tax in 2H25 fell 36% and 24% respectively to $1.8 billion, weighed down by softer trading and investment income, margin compression and higher allowance, albeit somewhat offset by lower expenses.
Malaysia
2025 profit before tax registered a 21% year-on-year rise to a record $857 million, propped up by strong momentum in key franchise drivers, sound asset quality and favourable currency movement. Total income expanded 10% to a new high of $1.7 billion, powered by client activities across lending, treasury and wealth management, alongside thicker margin. Operating expenses rose by a modest 5% to $811 million, underscoring a balanced approach towards cost control while investing in capabilities for sustainable growth.
Profit before tax soared 22% year on year to $406 million in 2H25, as growth in assets, fees and healthy treasury flows lifted the income base, coupled with lower allowance. Half on half, profit before tax declined 10% owing to movement in total allowance, while operating profit climbed by 3%.
Thailand
Profit before tax rebounded markedly year on year to $139 million in 2025 as the weight of one-off expenses and operational merger issues arising from Citi's retail integration last year has fully tapered off. Total income only dipped 1% to $1.5 billion despite tighter margin amid a falling rates backdrop, supported by stronger proprietary trading and treasury flows, along with improved wealth and fund management fees.
2H25 profit before tax declined 12% against a year ago to $32 million, as higher credit costs and margin pressure outweighed lower expenses and volume growth. Compared with 1H25, profit before tax fell 70%, primarily due to higher allowance, partly offset by stronger net interest income.
Indonesia
Profit before tax grew sharply to $173 million in 2025, fuelled by lower credit allowance and one-off costs related to Citi's retail integration rolling off. Total income increased 2% to $639 million, or 8% in constant-currency terms, led by healthy loan growth and stronger trading income, partly tempered by a margin squeeze.
Profit before tax for 2H25 surged year on year to $70 million, benefitting from lower operating costs and resilient fee income, despite continued margin pressure. Profit before tax fell by 32% half on half due to movement in allowance, while operating profit ascended by 10%.
Greater China
2025 booked loss before tax of $83 million, primarily driven by higher credit allowance in the face of macro and sector-specific headwinds. Total income moderated 6% year on year to $1.2 billion due to softer performance in proprietary trading, investment, loan and wealth, partially cushioned by higher net interest income.
Loss before tax in 2H25 reflected the abovementioned pickup in allowance, contrasting profit before tax in prior periods. In addition, second half total income fell 9% year on year and 15% half on half to $531 million, stemming from weaker trading gains alongside margin compression.
Performance by Geographical Segment (cont'd)
Others
Profit before tax in 2025 fell 45% year on year to $419 million, impacted by higher allowance on account of credit and collateral deterioration in selected markets. Total income eased 3% against last year to $1.3 billion due to lower benchmark rates, alleviated by stronger trading and investment gains. Excluding residual Citi integration costs in Vietnam, operating expenses were lower year on year, shaped by continued cost discipline.
Profit before tax for 2H25 reduced by 75% year on year to $73 million, reflecting higher credit costs alongside margin pressure and softer trading and investment income. Against 1H25, the decline in profit before tax was also weighed down by higher allowance, partly cushioned by stronger loan volume and fee income.

The Group's CET1, Tier 1 and Total CAR as at 31 December 2025 remained well above the regulatory minimum requirements.
The higher total capital compared with 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2025 was largely contributed by earnings and increase in reserves, partially offset by distributions.
RWA increased compared with 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 primarily from asset growth and changes in asset quality for Credit RWA, as well as higher trading volume mainly driven by customer flow and franchise business for Market RWA. In addition, compared with 31 December 2024, Market RWA increased due to implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), effective 1 January 2025.
As at 31 December 2025, the Group's leverage ratio of 6.7% was comfortably above the regulatory minimum requirement of 3%.
Notes:
Singapore-incorporated banks are required to maintain minimum CAR as follows: CET1 at 6.5%, Tier 1 at 8% and Total at 10%. In addition, the Group is required to maintain CET1 capital to meet the capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and the countercyclical capital buffer ("CCyB") of up to 2.5%. The Group's CCyB is computed as the weighted average of effective CCyB in jurisdictions to which the Group has private sector exposures.
Leverage ratio is calculated based on MAS Notice 637 which requires a minimum ratio of 3%.
Disclosures required under MAS Notice 637 are published on our website: https://www.UOBgroup.com/investor-relations/financial/index.html.
