HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad (HSBA.L, HBC) reported profit before tax of MYR 381 million for the first three months of 2013, a decrease of 13.0% from last year. The company said the decline was mainly due to an increase in loan and financing impairment charges and a decrease in operating income. The reduction was partially offset by lower operating expenses.
Profit for the period was MYR 283.91 million, compared to MYR 326.01 million prior year. Basic earnings per MYR0.50 ordinary share was 124.0 sen, compared to 142.4 sen last year.
