In response to the various articles published online and in print over the weekend of 13 and 14 July 2019 concerning the decision of the Federal Court involving Alliance Bank, the Bank wishes to clarify that the Federal Court, in its oral judgement, did not rule that the Bank was guilty of union-busting or had broken any law.

减息冲击·贷款减值·安联首季净利挫44%
https://www.sinchew.com.my/content/content_2107111.html

（吉隆坡27日讯）受国行减息和数个大型户头的贷款减值影响，安联银行（ABMB,2488,主板金融服务组）截至2019年6月30日止第一季净利下跌43.76%至7668万6000令吉，前期为1亿3636万7000令吉。

首季营业额微跌1.46%至4亿零693万2000令吉，前期为4亿零107万2000令吉。

净利息收入跌820万

安联银行首席执行员乔尔科恩赖希在文告中表示，该银行在首季针对数个大型户头共7490万令吉作出全面拨备和减值，财报下滑也是受国行减息25基点影响，令净利息收入下跌820万令吉。

“由于企业面对挑战，我们保持警惕于管理信贷组合，以及谨慎作出拨备。”

该银行继续加速推动在消费者和中小企业银行的核心业务，首季中小企业贷款年增10%至88亿令吉。

Alliance@Work争取到390家公司薪资户头和7091个新来往及储蓄户头（CASA），令户头结存增加近3倍至2亿1480万令吉。

Alliance ONE贷款户头（AOA）成长22亿令吉至37亿令吉，个人融资户头扩大23%至20亿令吉，这带动整体贷款成长6.0%至427亿令吉，优于行业平均的4.2%贷款成长率。

贷款强劲增长

受国行5月减息影响，该银行的净利息赚幅为2.4%，共下跌10基点。但是，贷款强劲增长和加强贷款组合和拥有较佳的风险调整回酬贷款，缓和了盈利被侵蚀的程度。净利息收入成长3.6%，而总营收成长1.5%至4亿零690万令吉。

该银行将继续追求有效率的融资组合，以缓和减息的冲击，并预期2020财政年的净利息赚幅介于2.40至2.45%。

由于外围环境充满挑战，非利息收入达7520万令吉。客户基础的收费收入下跌7.8%。

成本对收入比率处于48.7%一如预期（市场平均为49.5%），营运开销增加1480万令吉，因投资于科技资讯和扩大销售团队。

安联银行的顾客融资增长8.8%至466亿令吉，超越贷款成长，受定期存款成长28亿令吉所支持。来往与储蓄户头（CASA）比率保持为35.1%。流动性保持稳健，流动资金覆盖率和贷款对基金比率保持为稳健的171.3%和85.9%。总减值贷款比成长至1.30%，贷款亏损覆盖率为128.2%。普通股票一级资本比为13.5%及总资本比率为18.7%。

展望未来，安联银行将继续专注于支持大马商业活动以推动财务表现。该银行将落实新数码主张和成长生态系统合伙关系，以继续推动消费者银行及中小企业银行业务成长，将专注于提供更快速、简便和积极回应的服务给客户。
