Management comment

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, Mr. Mazin Manna, ADIB Group CEO, said: "Our financial and operational performance in the third quarter of 2019 reflects the effective execution of our strategy. ADIB's operating profit increased by 8.7% year-on-year in Q3 2019 supported by growth in income from financing, and higher investment and fee income. This led to a healthy return on equity of 18.0%. Our Q3 net profit increased by 5.2% to AED 620.0 million after increasing our credit provisions and impairments by 20.8% to AED 207.5 for Q3 2018. '

 

"Despite a low rate market environment our net profit margins 'NPMs' was at 4.22% helped by the positive impact of the low cost of fund that is supported by higher CASA balances. Our liquidity also remains strong, with an advances-to-deposits ratio of 78.9%. We therefore fully expect to be able to support our growth ambitions in the most effective and efficient manner."

 

"Our growth in revenues has been complemented by our discipline in managing costs and risk which saw the cost to income ratio decrease by 1.6% year on year. We have implemented a number of savings initiatives that have controlled operating expenses without compromising our performance or quality of service. However, the financial benefits of this programme have been partially offset by investments in new digital and strategic initiatives that will help to attract new customers and support the future growth of the Bank."

 

"We have made exciting progress in advancing our digital transformation strategy. The Bank further enhanced its digital proposition and client experience by collaborating with Samsung Pay for contactless payment. Moreover, the launch of the Express Finance service, which provides qualifying customers with instant access to personal finance, and ADIB Direct, a new digital banking platform for businesses, are two examples of ADIB incorporating technology to positively transform our customers' banking experience."

           

Gratitude

The Board of Directors and executive management wish to extend their sincere appreciation and gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to the Central Bank of the UAE and to the Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority, our shareholders and our clients for their continued trust in and support of ADIB, along with our staff for their dedication.
