Operating profit development in Q3 2022 (in HRK mn)

Consolidated data are not fully comparable, considering that the NHB's results are shown in the total consolidated result exclusively for the period starting from April 14, 2022, while HPB's results of HPB are shown from January 1, 2022, until the reporting date

  • Record net profit of HPB Group of HRK 1.1 bn as a result of a bargain purchase resulting from the difference between the fair value of the acquired net assets of NHB and the acquisition cost

  • Net loss from trading (trading HRK 62.8 million, FX trading + HRK 39.1 million) under the strong influence of inflation and the rise in reference interest rates of central banks, which led to a decrease in the price of securities and an increase in the yield on them
  • Operating expenses under the influence of intensive regulatory projects, acquisition activities, general price growth due to rising inflation, which is mainly reflected in the increase in prices of energy products and suppliers, as well as the optimization of HPB Group's IT infrastructure and processes
