Profit Before Tax Co-op Bank is pleased to report a Profit Before Tax of Kshs.6.36 billionfor the year ended December 31, 2011 representing a commendable 10.2%growth compared to Kshs.5.77 billion recorded in the year 2010.
Balance Sheet Growth • Our growth was mainly underpinned by the growth in our balance sheet notably; • Our loan book which grew by Kshs.22.8 billion (26%) as supported by our deposits. • Our deposit book grew by 15% to kshs.142 Billion. • Our customers base grew by 44% from 1.6 million to 2.3 million account holders.
Key issues to highlight • Whereas the performance for the first six months to June 2011 stood at a PBT Kshs.4.2billion, second half of 2011 was challenging owing to high inflation, weakening of the shilling and eventual tightening of the monetary policy, CBR at 18%. Interest rates rose significantly discouraging lending and increasing the cost of funding. • Our Interest expenses stood at Kshs.4.5 Billion reflects the higher cost of funds. • Our fees and commissions grew by 32% thus doing well on the normal business of the bank • Our Forex income grew by 63%.
Sustainable Growth • Co-op Bank remains focused on balance sheet growth and transaction based income as a key driver of our performance. • In 2011 the following were the key business drivers that led to our sustained good performance
Transaction Based Income Our fees and commissions (notably ATM, personal and business banking commissions, M-Banking, Forex income and letters of credit) have grown to KSh.7.6 Billion in 2011out of the following key initiatives:-
Transaction Based Income Customer Growth • During the year, we continued an aggressive customer growth campaign aimed at increasing our customer base. • The all inclusive bank staff initiative grew our customer base from 1.6 million customers to over 2.3 million customers registering over 44% growth. • Growth in customer base ensured increased transactions volumes and hence increased fees and commissions income as noted earlier with total fees, commissions and Forex income at over Kshs7.6 Billion.
Transaction Based Income County Banking Structure In line with the new constitution, we performed a strategic positioning of our outlets and realised a need for additional 42 branches / outlets. 7 were opened in 2011 and the rest are on course to be opened in 2012.
