Standard Chartered PLC's third-quarter underlying net profit
dropped 30%, weighed by higher credit impairment and operating
expenses.
The London-based lender on Thursday said its underlying net
profit came to $644 million, compared to $915 million a year
earlier.
The company recoded a $294 million credit impairment charge, up
$62 million on year. The charge was mainly related to commercial
real estate in China.
Expenses increased due to inflation, business growth and
targeted investment, it said in a filing.
The bank's underlying operating income came at $4.40 billion, 6%
higher than in the same period last year. The topline growth was
driven by an on-year increase in its net interest margin and the
strong recovery of wealth-management income.
StanChart's net interest income rose 18% to $2.4 billion, with
its normalized net interest margin at 1.67%, down 4 basis points
from the second quarter.
The lender said it has completed around $1.80 billion of the
$2.0 billion of share buybacks that it announced this year.
StanChart is "confident in the delivery of our 2023 financial
targets, including a return on tangible equity of 10%," Chief
Executive Bill Winters said.
The company said it expects 2023 income to rise 12%-14% at
constant currencies.
