BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) raised P115 billion from its fourth peso-denominated Asean Sustainability Bond offering amid strong demand, with the sale more than 23 times oversubscribed from the initial P5 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offer period was initially scheduled to run from July 9-22 but robust demand prompted an early close on July 14, the bank told the stock exchange on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonds carry a tenor of one-and-a-half years with a coupon rate of 5.875 percent per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Net proceeds will be used \u201cto finance and\/or refinance eligible assets as defined in the bank\u2019s sustainable finance framework, support the bank\u2019s lending activities, and diversify the bank\u2019s funding sources,\u201d BDO said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ING Bank N.V., Manila Branch acted as the sole arranger and sustainability coordinator. BDO and ING also served as selling agents, while BDO Capital & Investment Corp. acted as financial advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, BDO reported a net income of P40.6 billion for the first half, up 3 percent from P39.4 billion a year ago and said to have been driven by the continued strength of its core businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gross customer loans expanded by 14 percent to P3.4 trillion while deposits grew by 8 percent to over P4.0 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Net interest income rose 7 percent while non-interest income jumped 15 percent, bolstered by \u201csignificant contributions from fee-based income and income from insurance operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BDO also reported improved asset quality in the period, with its non-performing loan (NPL) ratio down to 1.75 percent and NPL coverage remaining stable at 140 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite geopolitical tensions and new US tariffs, the bank said the Philippines \u201cis expected to remain resilient, supported by its consumer-driven economy and sustained domestic demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BDO added it remained well-positioned to \u201cmanage emerging risks and capitalize on opportunities given its robust capital base and diversified business franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
