KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd reported a marginal decline in net profit to RM129.23 million for the third quarter (Q3) ended Sept 30, 2025, compared with RM129.63 million in the same period last year.
However, the group’s revenue rose 8.5 per cent to RM1.27 billion in Q3 2025 compared to RM1.17 billion in the same quarter of 2024.
For the nine-month period, Bank Islam‘s net profit slipped 4.1 per cent to RM382.18 million compared to RM398.44 million last year, due to higher overhead costs and increased impairment allowances on financing.
Revenue for the period under review was RM3.78 billion, up from RM3.46 billion a year ago.
Bank Islam declared an interim dividend of 10 sen per share for shareholders registered on the record of depositors on Dec 15, 2025, to be paid on Jan 9, 2026.
As at end-September 2025, the bank’s total assets had grown 9.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to RM102.7 billion, surpassing a RM100 billion strategic target ahead of its December 2025 schedule.
Meanwhile, the group’s total gross financing during the period grew 7.2 per cent YoY to RM73.4 billion. There was a 6.9 per cent YoY increase in customer deposits and investment accounts to RM83.8 billion.
Current accounts, savings accounts or transactional investment accounts (Casatia) stood at RM30 billion, representing a composition of 35.8 per cent as at end-September 2025.
Group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Muazzam Mohamed said Bank Islam has demonstrated resilience and agility, supported by its operational transformation and steadfast adherence to Shariah principles.
“The group is resolute in our commitment to creating sustainable value for our customers and shareholders, embedding ESG principles into our business model, and advancing Islamic social finance as a catalyst for inclusive growth and socio-economic development.
“These achievements would not have been possible without the trust and support of our customers, employees, and stakeholders as we continue to strengthen our position as a leading Islamic financial institution,” he added.
