Clarification of News Report
We write with respect to your request for clarification of the news article entitled “AUB AUB bullish on growth, sees 15% rise in resources”, posted in Inquirer.net on June 26, 2017. The article reported in part that: “. . . . AUB president Abraham Co told reporters after the bank’s stockholders’ meeting last week that the bank’s balance sheet could end the year at P190 billion compared to P165.5 billion last year. . . . . This year, AUB expects a double-digit growth in net profit, tracking the projected growth in earning assets. . . . .” We wish to inform you that we are confirming the projected growth in asset size as relayed by the President. In addition, the bank will continue to grow its commercial and consumer loan portfolio, including credit cards. This will translate to a double-digit growth in interest income (net). Growth in operating expenses is expected to be minimal, and will support the forecasted double-digit growth in the bank’s net income. Thank you very much.
