1. Corporate Information
Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company (“Metrobank,” “the Bank” or “the Parent Company”) is a universal
bank incorporated in the Philippines on April 6, 1962. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
approved the renewal of its Certification of Incorporation on November 19, 2007. The Bank’s shares were
listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE), on February 26, 1981, as approved by the SEC in
November 1980. It has a universal banking license granted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on
August 21, 1981.
The Bank and its subsidiaries (the Group) are engaged in all aspects of banking, financing, leasing, real
estate and stock brokering through a network of over 2,000 local and international branches, subsidiaries,
representative offices, remittance correspondents and agencies. The Bank, which is the ultimate parent of the
Group, provides services such as deposit products, loans and trade finance, domestic and foreign fund
transfers, treasury, foreign exchange, trading and remittances, credit card and trust services. Its principal
place of business is at Metrobank Plaza, Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Urdaneta Village, Makati City, Metro
Manila, Philippines.
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, the
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and
disclosures required in the annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Groups’ annual audited financial statements as at December 31, 2020.
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except
for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and fair value
through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) that have been measured at fair value.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso (PHP),
the Bank’s functional currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest million pesos (P
=000,000) except
when otherwise indicated.
Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The respective functional currencies
of the subsidiaries are presented under Basis of Consolidation.
Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the
Bank and of its subsidiaries and are prepared for the same reporting period as the Bank using consistent
accounting policies.

Investment in MR Italia
As certified by the Camera di Commercio Roma, MR Italia’s registration in Italy has been cancelled effective
May 14, 2020. The company was fully liquidated in January 2021.
Investment in FMIC
In line with its transformation initiative, the BOD of FMIC approved the proposal to return its quasi banking
license with the BSP on November 24, 2020. This was approved by the BSP on March 25, 2021.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from
intra-group transactions are eliminated in full at consolidation. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the
date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is achieved where the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the investee. Consolidation of subsidiaries ceases when control is transferred out of
the Group or the Parent Company. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period, if
any, are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of income and unaudited interim
condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date of acquisition or up to the date of
disposal, as appropriate.
-3-
Changes in the Parent Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for within equity. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid (or to be paid) or received is recognized directly in
equity included as part of “Translation adjustment and others” and attributed to the owners of the Parent
Company.
When a change in ownership interest in a subsidiary occurs which results in a loss of control over the
subsidiary, the Parent Company: (a) derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the
subsidiary; (b) derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest; (c) derecognizes the related
other comprehensive income (OCI) recorded in equity and recycles the same to statement of income or
retained earnings; (d) recognizes the fair value of the consideration received; (e) recognizes the fair value of
any investment retained; (f) recognizes any surplus or deficit in statement of income; and (g) reclassifies the
Parent Company’s share of components’ gain (losses) previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or
surplus, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or
liabilities.
Amendments
Amendments to PFRS 9, PFRS 7, PFRS 4 and PFRS 16, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2
The amendments provide the following temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when
an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR):
o Practical expedient for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows as a result of
IBOR reform
o Relief from discontinuing hedging relationships
o Relief from the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a
hedge of a risk component
As of March 31, 2021, the amended standard does not have an impact on the financial statements of the
Group
Significant accounting judgments and estimates of the Group have been disclosed in the 2020 audited
financial statements.
Compared with December 31, 2020, there have been no changes in the financial risk exposures that
materially affect the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of March
31, 2021. The Group has exposures to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: (a) credit; (b)
liquidity; and (c) market risks. Related discussions below should be read in conjunction with Note 4,
Financial Risk and Capital Management, of the Group’s 2020 audited financial statements.
The ROC, which is composed primarily of independent members of the BOD, is responsible for overseeing
the Parent Company’s risk infrastructure, the adequacy and relevance of risk policies, and the compliance to
defined risk appetite and levels of exposure. The ROC is assisted in this responsibility by the Risk
Management Group (RSK). The RSK undertakes the implementation and execution of the Parent
Company’s Risk Management framework which involves the identification, assessment, control, monitoring
and reporting of risks.
The Parent Company and its subsidiaries manage their respective financial risks separately. The subsidiaries
have their own risk management processes but are structured similar to that of the Parent Company. To a
certain extent, the respective risk management programs and objectives are the same across the Group. The
risk management policies adopted by the subsidiaries and affiliates are aligned with the Parent Company’s
risk policies. To further promote compliance with PFRS and Basel III, the Parent Company created a Risk
Management Coordinating Council (RMCC) composed of risk officers of the Parent Company and its
financial institution subsidiaries.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. The Group manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it
is willing to accept for individual counterparties, related groups of borrowers, market segments, and industry
concentrations, and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits, among others. The same is true for
treasury-related activities. Each business unit is responsible for the quality of its credit portfolio and for
monitoring and controlling all credit risks in its portfolio. Regular reviews and audits of business units and
credit processes are undertaken by RSK and Internal Audit Group, respectively.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from the inability to meet its
obligations when they become due. This may be caused by the inability to liquidate assets or to obtain
funding to meet the liquidity needs. The Group manages its liquidity risk by holding adequate stock of high-
quality liquid assets, analyzing net funding requirements over time, diversifying funding sources contingency
planning.
To measure the prospective liquidity needs, the Group uses Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO), a
liquidity gap tool to project short-term and long-term cash flow expectations on a business-as-usual
condition.
-5-
The MCO is generated by distributing the cash flows of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
items to time bands based on cash flow expectations such as contractual maturity, nature of the account,
behavioral patterns, projections on business strategies, and/or optionality of certain products. The
incorporation of behavioral cash flow assumptions and business projections or targets results in a dynamic
gap report that realistically captures the behavior of the products and creates a forward-looking cash flow
projection.
Cash flows from assets are considered as cash inflows, while cash flows from liabilities are considered cash
outflows. The net cash flows are determined for each given time period. If the inflows exceed the outflows,
the Group is said to have a positive liquidity gap or has excess funds for the given time bucket. Conversely, if
the outflows exceed the inflows, the Group is said to have a negative liquidity gap or has funding needs for
the given time bucket.
The MCO is monitored regularly to ensure that it remains within the set limits. The Parent Company
generates and monitors daily its MCO, while the subsidiaries generate the report at least monthly. The
liquidity profile of the Group is reported monthly to the Parent Company’s ALCO and ROC.
To supplement the business-as-usual scenario parameters reflected in the MCO report, the Group also
conducts liquidity stress testing to determine the impact of extreme factors, scenarios and/or events to the
Group’s liquidity profile. Liquidity stress testing exercise is performed quarterly on a per firm basis, and at
least annually on the Group-wide level.
Market Risk
Market risk is the possibility of loss to future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from
changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other market factors. Market risk originates
from holdings in foreign currencies, debt securities and derivatives transactions.
Depending on the business model for the product, i.e., whether they belong to the trading book or banking
book, the Group applies different tools and processes to manage market risk exposures. Risk limits, approved
by the BOD, are enforced to monitor and control this risk. RSK, as an independent body under the ROC,
performs daily market risk analyses to ensure compliance to policies and limits, while Treasury Group
manages the asset/liability risks arising from both banking book and trading operations in financial markets.
The ALCO, chaired by the President, manages market risks within the parameters approved by the BOD.
As part of group supervision, the Parent Company regularly coordinates with subsidiaries to monitor their
compliance to their respective risk tolerances and to ensure alignment of risk management practices. Each
subsidiary has its own risk management unit responsible for monitoring its market risk exposures. The
Parent, however, requires regular submission of market risk profiles from subsidiaries which are presented to
ALCO and ROC in both individual and consolidated forms to provide senior management and ROC a
holistic perspective and ensure alignment of strategies and risk appetite across the Group.
Like any other model, the HS method has its own limitations. To wit, it cannot predict volatility levels which
did not happen in the specified historical period. The validity of the VaR model is verified through a daily
backtesting analysis, which examines how frequently both actual and hypothetical daily losses exceed VaR.
The result of the daily backtesting analysis is reported to the ALCO and ROC monthly.
Subsidiaries with trading books perform daily mark-to-market valuation and VaR calculations for their
exposures. Risk exposures are bounded by a system of risk limits and monitoring tools to effectively manage
these risks.
The limitations of the VaR methodology are recognized by supplementing VaR limits with other position and
sensitivity limit structures and by doing stress testing analysis. These processes address potential product
concentration risks, monitor portfolio vulnerabilities and give the management an early advice if an actual
loss goes beyond what is deemed tolerable to the Group and the Parent Company, even before the VaR limit
is hit.
Stress testing is performed by the Parent Company on a quarterly basis and the results are reported to the
ALCO and, subsequently, to the ROC and BOD. On a Group-wide perspective, stress testing is done, at least
annually. The results are reported by the Parent Company’s Risk Management Group to the BOD through
ROC.
The Group assesses interest rate risk in the banking book using measurement tools such as Interest Rate
Repricing Gap, Earnings-at-Risk (EaR), Delta Economic Value of Equity (ΔEVE) and Sensitivity Analysis.
Interest Rate Repricing Gap is a tool that distributes rate-sensitive assets and liabilities into pre-defined tenor
buckets according to time remaining to their maturity (if fixed rate) or repricing (if floating rate). Items
lacking definitive repricing schedules (e.g., current and savings account) and items with actual maturities that
could vary from contractual maturities (e.g., securities with embedded options) are assigned to repricing
tenor buckets based on an analysis of historical patterns, past experience and/or expert judgment.
Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) measures the possible decline in the Group’s net interest income as a result of
adverse interest rate movements, given the current repricing profile. It is a tool used to evaluate the
sensitivity of the accrual portfolio to changes in interest rates in the adverse direction over the next twelve
(12) months.
The Parent Company generates and monitors daily its EaR exposure while the subsidiaries generate their EaR
reports at least monthly.
The Parent Company employs the Delta EVE model to measure the overall change in the economic value of
the bank at one point. It reflects the changes in the net present value of its banking book at different interest
rate shocks and stress scenarios. ΔEVE is calculated by slotting the notional repricing cash flows arising
from rate-sensitive assets and liabilities into pre-defined tenor buckets. The present value of the net repricing
cash flows is then calculated using various interest rate scenarios prescribed by Basel as well as scenarios
internally developed by the Parent Company.
Aside from the EaR and ΔEVE, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries perform regular sensitivity and
stress testing analyses on their banking books to further broaden their forward-looking analysis. This way,
management can craft strategies to address and/or arrest probable risks, if necessary.

Financial Instruments
The methods and assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities have been consistently applied in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements. These are:
Cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks and interbank loans receivable and SPURA -
Carrying amounts approximate fair values in view of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.
Trading and investment securities - Fair values of debt and equity securities are generally based on quoted
market prices. Where the debt securities are not quoted or the market prices are not readily available, the
Group and the Parent Company obtained valuations from independent parties offering pricing services, used
adjusted quoted market prices of comparable investments, or applied discounted cash flow methodologies.
For equity securities that are not quoted, remeasurement to their fair values is not material to the financial
statements.
Derivative instruments - Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices, prices provided by
independent parties, or prices derived using acceptable valuation models. The models utilize published
underlying rates (e.g interest rates, Foreign Exchange (FX) rates, Credit Default Swap (CDS) rates, FX
volatilities and spot and forward FX rates) and are implemented through validated calculation engines.
Loans and receivables - Fair values of the Group’s loans and receivables are estimated using the discounted
cash flow methodology, using current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans. Where the
instrument reprices on a quarterly basis or has a relatively short maturity, the carrying amounts approximate
fair values.
Liabilities - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology using the Group’s current
borrowing rate for similar borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being
valued, if any. The carrying amount of demand and savings deposit liabilities and other short-term liabilities
approximates fair value considering that these are either due and demandable or with short-term maturities.
The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of the financial assets and liabilities:

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value

5. Segment Information
The Group’s operating businesses are recognized and managed separately according to the nature of services
provided and the different markets served with segment representing a strategic business unit. Operating
segments are reported in accordance with internal reporting to the Senior Management who is responsible for
allocating resources to the segments and assessing its performance. The Group’s business segments follow:
• Consumer Banking - principally providing consumer type loans and support for effective sourcing and
generation of consumer business;
• Corporate Banking - principally handling loans and other credit facilities and deposit and current
accounts for corporate and institutional customers;
• Investment Banking - principally arranging structured financing and providing services relating to
privatizations, initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions; and providing advisory services
primarily aimed to create wealth to individuals and institutions;
• Treasury - principally providing money market, trading and treasury services, as well as the management
of the Group’s funding operations by use of treasury bills, government securities and placements and
acceptances with other banks, through treasury and corporate banking;
• Branch Banking - principally handling branch deposits and providing loans and other loan related
businesses for domestic middle market clients; and
• Others - principally handling other services including but not limited to remittances, leasing, account
financing, and other support services. Other operations of the Group comprise the operations and
financial control groups.
Segment assets are those operating assets that are employed by a segment in its operating activities and that
are either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.
Segment liabilities are those operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of a segment and that
are either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.
Interest income is reported net, as management primarily relies on the net interest income as performance
measure, not the gross interest income and interest expense. The Group has no significant customers which
contributes 10.00% or more of the consolidated revenue net of interest expense. Transactions between
segments are conducted at estimated market rates on an arm’s length basis. Interest is charged/credited to
business segments based on a pool rate which approximates the cost of funds. The following table presents
revenue and income information of operating segments presented in accordance with PFRS and segment
assets and liabilities as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Non-interest income consists of service charges, fees and commissions, profit from assets sold, trading and
securities gain-net, and foreign exchange gain (loss) - net, income from trust operations, leasing, dividends and
miscellaneous income. Non-interest expense consists of compensation and fringe benefits, taxes and licenses,
provision for credit and impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, occupancy and equipment-related cost,
amortization of software costs and miscellaneous expense.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total outstanding LTNCDs of the Group amounted to

Significant information on capital issuances have been disclosed in the 2020 audited financial statements.
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other
party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or if
they are subjected to common control or common significant influence such as subsidiaries and associates of
subsidiaries or other related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and are
classified as entities with significant influence, subsidiaries, associates, other related parties and key
personnel.
The Group has several business relationships with related parties. Transactions with such parties are made in
the ordinary course of business and on substantially same terms, including interest and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other parties. These transactions also did not involve
more than the normal risk of collectibility and did not present other unfavorable conditions.
The Parent Company has a Related Party Transactions Committee (RPTC) and a Related Party Transactions
Management Committee (RPTMC), both of which are created to assist the BOD in ensuring that transactions
with related parties are reviewed to assess risks and are subjected to appropriate restrictions to ensure that
these are conducted at arm’s-length terms and that corporate or business resources of the Parent Company are
not misappropriated or misapplied. After appropriate review, RPTMC (through RPTC) and RPTC disclose
all information and endorses to the BOD with recommendations, the proposed related party transactions.
The members of the RPTC are appointed annually by the BOD, composed of at least three (3) Board non-
executive members, two (2) of whom should be independent directors, including the Chairman. Currently,
RPTC is composed of three (3) independent directors (including the Committee’s Chairman); the head of
Internal Audit Group (as Resource Person); and the Compliance Officer (as the Committee Secretary) and
meets bi-monthly or as the need arises. On the other hand, RPTMC members are appointed annually by the
President, composed of at least four (4) members. RPTC’s and RPTMC’s review of the proposed related
party transactions considers the following: (a) identity and relationship of the parties involved in the
transaction; (b) terms of the transaction and whether these are no less favorable than terms generally
available to an unrelated third party under the same circumstances; (c) business purpose, timing, rationale
and benefits of the transaction; (d) approximate monetary value of the transaction and the approximate
monetary value of the related party’s interest in the transaction; (e) valuation methodology used and
alternative approaches to valuation of the transaction; (f) information concerning potential counterparties in
the transaction; (g) description of provisions or limitations imposed as a result of entering into the
transaction; (h) whether the proposed transaction includes any potential reputational risk issues that may arise
as a result of or in connection with the transaction; (i) impact to a director’s independence; (j) extent that
such transaction or relationship would present an improper conflict of interest; and (k) the availability of
others sources of comparable products or services. Further, no director or officer participates in any
discussion of a related party transaction for which he, she, or any member of his or her immediate family is a
related party, including transactions of subordinates except in order to provide material information on the
related party transaction to RPTC.
- 15 -
Major subsidiaries, which include FMIC, PSBank and MBCL, have their own respective RPTCs which assist
their respective BODs in ensuring that transactions with related parties are reviewed to assess risks and are
subjected to appropriate restrictions to ensure that these are conducted at arm’s-length terms and that their
corporate or business resources are not misappropriated or misapplied.
In the ordinary course of business, the Group has loan transactions with investees and with certain directors,
officers, stockholders and related interests (DOSRI) based on BSP Circular No. 423 dated March 15, 2004,
as amended. Existing banking regulations limit the amount of individual loans to DOSRI, 70.00% of which
must be secured, to the total of their respective deposits and book value of their respective investments in the
lending company within the Group. In the aggregate, loans to DOSRI generally should not exceed the
respective total equity or 15.00% of the respective total loan portfolio, whichever is lower, of the Bank,
PSBank, FMIC, ORIX Metro and MBCL.
BSP Circular Nos. 560 and 654 provide the rules and regulations that govern loans, other credit
accommodations and guarantees granted to subsidiaries and affiliates of banks and quasi-banks which require
that the total outstanding loans, other credit accommodations and guarantees to each of the bank’s/quasi-
bank’s subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed 10.00% while a separate individual limit of 25.00% for
those engaged in energy and power generation, of the net worth of the lending bank/quasi-bank, provided
that the unsecured portion of which shall not exceed 5.00% or 12.50%, respectively, of such net worth.
Further, the total outstanding loans, credit accommodations and guarantees to all subsidiaries and affiliates
shall not exceed 20.00% of the net worth of the lending bank/quasi-bank; and the subsidiaries and affiliates
of the lending bank/quasi-bank are not related interest of any director, officer and/or stockholder of the
lending institution, except where such director, officer or stockholder sits in the BOD or is appointed officer
of such corporation as representative of the bank/quasi-bank as reported to the BSP. As of March 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, the total outstanding loans, other credit accommodations and guarantees to each of
the Parent Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates did not exceed 10.00% of the Parent Company’s net worth,
as reported to the BSP, and the unsecured portion did not exceed 5.00% of such net worth wherein the total

Financial Ratios
The following ratios measure the financial performance of the Group, the Bank, and significant
subsidiaries:
The increase in the Group’s EPS from P1.36 to P1.73 was due to the 27.08% increase in net income
attributable to the equity holders of the Parent Company from P6.12 billion for the quarter ended March
31, 2020 to P7.78 billion for the same period in 2021.
Return on Equity
Return on equity (ROE) or the ratio of annualized net income to average capital funds (equity
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company) measures the return on capital provided by the
stockholders.
ROE of the Group for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was higher at 9.87% compared with 7.98% for
the same period in 2020 due to the net effect of the 27.08% increase in the net income attributable to
equity holders of the Parent Company and the 2.72% increase in the average equity.
-2-
Return on Assets
Return on assets (ROA) or the ratio of annualized net income to average total assets, measures the return
on money provided by both stockholders and creditors, as well as how efficiently all assets are managed.
ROA went up to 1.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from 1.01% for the same period in 2020
due to the 27.08% increase in net income attributable to the equity holders of the Parent Company.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Group’s operating efficiency ratio went up to 54.64% from
52.71% for the same period in 2020 as a result of the 1.38% increase in operating expenses and the
2.21% decrease in operating income.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, NPL ratio of the Group was at 2.40% and 1.40%, respectively.
Liquidity
To ensure that funds are more than adequate to meet its obligations, the Bank proactively monitors its
liquidity position daily. Based on this system of monitoring, the Bank does not anticipate having any
cash flow or liquidity problem within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2021, the contractual
maturity profile shows that the Bank has at its disposal about P1.06 trillion of cash inflows in the next
twelve months from its portfolio of cash, placements with banks, debt securities and receivable from
customers. This will cover 71.35% of the P1.49 trillion total deposits maturing during the same period.
These cash inflows exclude securities in FVTPL and FVOCI with maturities beyond one year but may
easily be liquidated in an active secondary market. Inclusive of these securities, the total financial assets
will cover 100.99% of the total deposits maturing during the same period. On the other hand, historical
balances of deposits showed that no substantial portion has been withdrawn in one year.
The registrant has nothing to report on the following for the period ended March 31, 2021:
1. Any known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will have a material
impact on liquidity or that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material favorable or
unfavorable impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations, except as
disclosed in Annex 5 under Note 15 - Other Matters; and Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the
General Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;
2. Any seasonal aspects that had a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations;
and
3. Any significant element of income or loss that did not arise from continuing operations.
Financial Condition
Cash and Other Cash Items decreased by P9.24 billion or 24.01% due to high level of cash requirements
during year-end. Due from BSP which represents 12.53% of the Group’s total assets went down by
P7.71 billion or 2.53% due to the net effect of the decrease in overnight deposit facility placement and
the increase in term deposit with the BSP. Interbank Loans Receivable and SPURA went down by
P17.48 billion or 22.02% due to the decrease in interbank loans receivable and SPURA by P14.43
billion and P3.06 billion, respectively.
Total investment securities which consisted of FVTPL, FVOCI and securities at amortized cost went up
by P44.78 billion or 6.68%. The increase was mainly due to the net effect of the P69.79 billion increase
in investments in FVOCI particularly on treasury notes and bonds, treasury bills and government
securities, and the P25.87 billion decrease in investment in FVTPL securities.
Net loans and receivables representing 48.81% and 51.03% of the Group’s total assets as of March 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, went down by P95.0 billion or 7.58% due to lower
portfolios of corporate, commercial and consumer loans.
As of March 31, 2021, deferred tax assets amounted to P12.71 billion or lower by 9.37% compared with
December 31, 2020 balance of P14.03 billion due to the net impact of the new tax rate under the
CREATE Law. Other Assets increased by P1.60 billion or 12.17% primarily due to the net effect of the
increases in software and prepaid expenses reduced by the decrease in miscellaneous assets.
Deposit liabilities represent 84.52% and 84.69% of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, wherein low cost deposits represent 75.20% and 72.97% of
the Group’s total deposits, respectively. The Group’s deposit level, sourced mainly by the Bank,
PSBank and MBCL reached P1.74 trillion as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of P58.81 billion or 3.27%
from the December 31, 2020 level coming mostly from the high cost deposits.
Bills Payable and SSURA went down by P5.08 billion or 3.64% due to the net effect of various
settlements of interbank borrowings and the increase in SSURA. Derivative Liabilities decreased by
P3.20 billion or 23.75%. The decrease of P0.53 billion or 8.83% in Manager’s Checks and Demand
Drafts Outstanding resulted from the normal banking operations of the Bank and PSBank. Income taxes
-4-
payable decreased by P0.42 billion or 15.49% due to the net movement in corporate income tax liability
after considering the impact of the new tax rate under the CREATE Law.
Equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company decreased by P17.62 billion or 5.44%
primarily due to the P17.99 billion total cash dividends paid by the Bank during the year.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 2021 vs. Quarter Ended March 2020 (Unaudited)
The unaudited net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company for the quarter ended
March 31, 2021 amounted to P7.78 billion and improved by P1.66 billion or 27.08% from the P6.12
billion net income reported in the same quarter of the previous year. The improvement was due to the
following:
Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 went down by P6.75 billion or 23.27% from
P28.99 billion to P22.25 billion mainly due to lower interest income from loans and receivables by
P6.05 billion and interest income on trading and investment securities by P1.17 billion offset by the
P0.47 billion increase in interest income on deposits with banks and others. Meanwhile, the
decreases in interest expense on deposit liabilities by P2.83 billion or 66.90% (lower volume and
interest rate of high cost deposits) and interest expense on borrowings by P1.54 billion or 45.92%
accounted for the P4.37 billion or 57.64% decrease in interest expense. These resulted in a P2.38
billion or 11.12% decline in net interest income.
Other operating income went up by P1.73 billion or 27.76% from P6.22 billion for the first quarter
of 2020 to P7.94 billion for the same quarter this year on account of the increases in net trading,
securities and foreign exchange gain by P1.51 billion and miscellaneous income by P0.23 billion
while fee-based income was maintained at almost same level. The Group set aside provision for
credit and impairment losses of P2.51 billion in the first quarter of 2021 or P2.53 billion lower
compared with P5.04 billion provision for the same quarter of 2020. Total operating expenses was
maintained at same level with slight increase of P0.20 billion or 1.38% due to the increases in
compensation and fringe benefits by P0.49 billion or 8.22% and occupancy and equipment-related
expenses by P32.5 million or 7.02% offset by the decrease in miscellaneous expenses by P0.32
billion or 3.91%. Provision for income tax was higher by P0.15 billion or 8.60% after considering
the net impact of the new tax rate under CREATE Law.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests went down by P0.14 billion from P0.19 billion to
P0.05 billion due to the decreases in the results of operations of majority-owned subsidiaries.
Total comprehensive income went up by P0.14 billion from P0.34 billion for the first quarter of 2020 to
P0.47 billion for the same period in 2021 due mainly to the net effect of higher net income for the first
quarter of 2021 and the net movements in net unrealized gain on investment securities at FVOCI and
loss on remeasurement of retirement plan. This caused the total comprehensive income attributable to
equity holders of the Parent Company to increase by P0.25 billion from P0.13 billion in 2020 to P0.37
billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
