TSB Bank lifts profits, mortgage book little changed in September Qtr
The bank’s net profit rose to $12.6 million for the three months ended September from $10.6 million in the same three months a year earlier bringing its profit for the six months to $24.4 million, up 13.5%.
TSB’s mortgage book grew just $11.2 million to $1.83 billion in the three months. Mortgages with loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) above 80% grew to 7% of its total book from 6.5% three months earlier while its past due mortgages nearly doubled to $4.2 million from $2.2 million.
With all the banks’ general disclosure statements (GDSs) for the September quarter now published, an apparent sharp drop in National Australia Bank-owned Bank of New Zealand’s mortgage book artificially boosted the market shares of the other banks.
The GDSs also show a big difference between the total of the banks’ mortgage books, $145.29 billion at September 30, and Reserve Bank figures which put the total lending by registered banks on housing at $153.27 billion at September 30.
