Key Points

Positve
  • Net income reached EUR449.9 million, a 24% increase compared to H1 last year.
  • Net commission income rose by 15% to EUR587.4 million, driven by higher average AUM and strong inflows into managed assets.
  • Record-breaking operating margin of EUR566 million, a 22% increase for the half year.
  • Total net inflows for H1 were EUR5.66 billion, a 21% increase, with managed asset flows surpassing EUR3 billion, up 43% from H1 last year.
  • CET1 ratio improved to 23.7%, providing a strong capital position and flexibility for future growth and dividend distributions.
Negative
  • Net interest income (NII) decreased by 10% in Q2 due to higher customer cost of funding from the six-month promo offer.
  • General and administrative (G&A) costs increased by 9%, driven by higher marketing expenses and contributions to the banking industry.
  • Loans granted were down 35% year-on-year due to a lower appetite tied to the high interest rate environment.
  • The cost-income ratio, although improved, still requires careful management to maintain around 40%.
  • Potential impact of Basel III final regulations expected to reduce CET1 ratio by approximately 2 percentage points.
