ASB's home loan book shrinks

ASB Bank's mortgage book actually shrank in the three months ended June 30 although its June quarter profitability soared.

Figures in ASB's June quarter general disclosure statement (GDS) show its mortgage book shrank by $65 million to $37.84 billion compared with $37.91 billion at March 31.

ASB’s home loan business shrank during the quarter when the combined lending of all the other registered banks, except HSBC, grew by a total of $1.05 billion in the three month period.

ASB had a further $4.46 billion in mortgages off-balance sheet, generally loans approved but not drawn down, at June 30 compared with $4.41 billion at March 31.

Only 3.9% of ASB's mortgage book had loan-to-valuation ratios (LVRs) above 90% at June 30 and a further 9.8% had LVRs above 80%.

While, as already reported, ASB's annual net profit dropped to $236 million in the year ended June 30 from $425 million the previous year, it's net profit for the June quarter jumped 57% to $140 million. The annual figure was depressed by a one-off tax charge and the pre-tax profit was steady.

The quarterly improvement mostly reflected lower charges against profit for bad loans - for the full year ended June, the charge fell to $125 million compared to the $133 million charges for the nine months ended March, an $8 million improvement. In the year-earlier June quarter, charges for bad loans increased $91 million.

Interestingly, the improvement in the latest quarter came from other retail loans and corporate loans while charges for mortgages gone bad rose $20 million - although at $99 million, still tiny compared with ASB's total book.

ASB's net interest income rose 1.5% to $272 million in the June quarter and was up 5.4% to $1.03 billion for the year.
