Gross Earnings rise 93% to N50.7 billion
Lagos, October 24, 2012 – Sterling Bank Plc (NSE: STERLNBANK/ Reuters: STBP.LG) – the ‘Bank’ – today reported its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Third Quarter Management Statement to Investors by Yemi Adeola, Managing Director / CEO: 

With the successful integration of ETB, we have seen significant growth in our business. In the first nine months of the year, gross earnings rose to N50.7 billion representing 93% growth year-on-year riding on a 110% growth in interest income. Operating income also grew by 78%, while profit before and after tax rose 58% and 64% respectively.

In line with our forecast, loans and advances grew by 23% quarter-on-quarter to N229.4 billion on the back of our enhanced presence in the corporate banking space. We also grew customer deposits by 13% quarter-on-quarter to N434 billion and added over 22,000 retail accounts.

Despite the 400 basis points increase in Cash Reserve Ratio in July, we recorded a 70 basis points reduction in cost of funds to 6% (quarter on quarter). We however witnessed an increase in cost-to-income ratio resulting from one-off merger related expenses.

In the last quarter of the year, we will consolidate on the progress made thus far and sustain our drive towards building our retail deposits with a view to achieving our corporate goals for year-end.
