Profitability indicators remained among the highest in the banking sector, with Return on Equity (ROE) at 25.2% and Return on Assets (ROA) at 2.1%, underscoring efficient operations and a solid financial foundation.

The non-performing loan ratio was 1.97%, while the Capital Adequacy Ratio under Basel II reached 15%, among the highest in the industry.

Non-interest income rose sharply to VND5.37 trillion (US$204.1 million), up 178.6% YoY, driven by income diversification and digitalisation. Transactions via digital channels grew by 47%, accounting for 94% of total retail transactions, thus, Cost-to-Income Ratio recorded at 25.7%, one of the lowest in the sector. HDBank currently serves over 20 million customers.

Subsidiaries and affiliates also posted strong results. HD SAISON recorded profit of VND1.1 trillion (US$41.8 million) with an ROE of 24.4%, maintaining its leading position in consumer finance.

HDBank will seek shareholder approval for a 30% total dividend and bonus share distribution for 2025, including a 25% stock dividend and 5% bonus shares, reaffirming its commitment to high and stable shareholder returns.

Following the amended Decree 69, the bank's foreign ownership limit has been lifted to 49%, improving its ability to attract international investors and enhance stock liquidity.

During General Secretary Tô Lâm's official visit to the United Kingdom, the London Stock Exchange discussed a Memorandum of Understanding with HDBank to promote potential listings, international capital mobilisation and access to global investors.

With outstanding profitability, an attractive dividend policy, and a clear strategy for digitalisation and international integration, HDBank is well positioned to sustain double-digit growth, reinforcing its position among the most high-performing and profitable banks in Vietnam.
