Key Points
- Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC (DFM:DIB) reported a 10% year-on-year increase in gross revenues, reaching AED 12.4 billion, supported by growth in both funded and non-funded income.
- The bank's asset quality improved, with the non-performing financing ratio declining to 2.4%, reflecting disciplined underwriting and active portfolio management.
- Capital and liquidity positions remained strong, with the CET1 ratio increasing to 13% and the capital adequacy ratio rising to 16.1%.
- Net financing assets grew by 7% year-to-date, driven by more than AED 43 billion of new financing across consumer and corporate businesses.
- Digital adoption is strong, with 98% of customers actively using digital channels and 83% of new customers onboarded digitally in the first half of the year.
- Operating expenses increased by 9% year-on-year, reflecting continued investment in the franchise.
- Impairment charges were higher in the first half due to management ECL overlays taken in Q1, although there was a reduction in Q2.
- The bank experienced higher term deposit rates in Q2, driven by market conditions, which could impact net interest margins.
- There was a slowdown in real estate-driven revenue lines due to muted activity in the Dubai real estate market during the summer period.
- The deferral program has been extended by the Central Bank, but only a small percentage (0.6%) of the bank's loan book is in deferral, indicating limited impact on NPL formation.
