OCBC net profit edges down 2% to $7.42b in FY2025

Total income rose to $14.6b as non-interest income provided a buffer.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) reported a net profit of $7.42b for the full year of 2025, down 2% from $7.59b in 2024.

Profit before tax rose 2% to $9.12b, supported by total income despite a declining interest rate environment, OCBC said in a press release.

Total income reached $14.6b, driven by a 16% increase in non-interest income.

Net interest income was 9.15b in FY2025, 6% lower than the previous year. This was moderated by a 7% growth in average customer loans and an increase in high-quality assets.

Tax expense grew 27% on the back of higher contributions from jurisdictions with elevated tax rates and the implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Pillar Two, which sets a 15% minimum global tax.

The board has proposed a final ordinary dividend of 42 cents and a special dividend of 16 cents per share for FY2025.

Total dividends for the year amounted to 99 cents per share, or 60% of net profit, including a 41-cent interim dividend declared for the first half.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
