1 Net of the non-recurrent items recorded in the first nine months of 2017: €-5.9 million net (€-8.8 million gross) related to the impairment of the exposure in equity instruments and commitment to allocate funds to the Voluntary Layout referred to the bailout of Carim and Carismi).
2 Net of the non-recurrent items recorded in the first nine months of 2018: €-1.1 million net (€-1.6 million gross) related to severance
Total Revenues in the first nine months of 2018 came to €464.8 million, up 7.8% compared to €431.1 million in the same period of the previous year thanks to the positive contribution of all the main components.
Net interest income at September 30th, 2018 came to €207.6 million recording a growth of 6.6% compared to €194.7 million in the same period of the previous year, thanks to the increase in transactional liquidity and the greater penetration of the lending business which offset the reduction in interest income connected to the drop in rates. The average gross margin on interest-earning assets was 1.31% in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 1.35% in the same period of 2017.
Net commissions for the first nine months of 2018 came to €218.7 million and showed a 9.7% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. The increase of €19.3 million is mainly due to the increase in fee and commission income for management, brokerage and consulting services (€+17.6 million), collection and payment services (€+2.3 million), other services (€+1.8 million), mainly related to introduction of the annual fee on credit cards (€+1.6 million), partially offset by higher commission expenses to personal financial advisors for commercial incentives. We need to point out that in the third
quarter 2018 the subsidiary Fineco AM began operations, so net commissions income benefited from the positive contribution provided by latter.
Trading Profit came to €38.3 million, up compared to €37.1 million for the same period in the previous year (+3.3% y/y). That result was mainly due to profits made from internationalisation of securities and CFDs, financial instruments used for operational hedging of the CFDs and from the exchange differences on assets and liabilities denominated in currency dropped by 7.9% partially offset by income generated by the financial instruments recorded in "Other assets mandatorily valued at fair value", including the preferred shares of Visa INC class "C", whose fair value measurement led to a positive result of €2.3 million in the first nine months of 2018, and profit made from the sale of financial instruments entered under "Financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss with an impact on comprehensive income", for an amount of €1.7 million.
Other expenses/income was positive for €0.2 million showing an increase of €0.4 million compared to the same period in the previous year thanks, mainly, to lower costs for settlement agreements and claims net of insurance reimbursements.
Operating costs at September 30th, 2018 were confirmed as well under control at €182.8 million. Growth of 4.6% y/y was limited compared to the expansion of business, assets and customers, thanks to the Bank's strong operational efficiency. The cost/income ratio came to 39.3% in the first nine months of 2018, down by 1.2 p.p. compared to 40.5% in the first nine months of 2017.
Staff expenses at September 30th, 2018 amounted to €63.1 million, of which €1.5 million related to the subsidiary Fineco AM not present at September 2017, and recorded an increase of €4.4 million due to higher costs related to 2018-2020 long term incentive plan and to the increase in the number of employees up from 1,105 at September 30th, 2017 to 1,138 at September 30th, 2018.
In the first nine months of 2018, the Other administrative expenses net of Recovery of expenses came to €112.4 million slightly increasing compared to €108.5 million for the same period in the previous year (+3.6% y/y).
Gross operating profit came to €282.1 million at September 30th, 2018 up by €25.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year (+10% y/y).
Provisions for risks and charges at September 30th, 2018 came to €19.6 million, up by 16.7% y/y mainly due to the higher costs for the ordinary annual contribution to the Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS), estimated at € 14.3 million (compared to €12.4 million estimated in the same period of the previous year).
Loan loss provisions amounted to € 2.1 million down by 36.4% compared to €3.2 million at September 30th, 2017. It should be noted that the accounting standard IFRS 9, which came into force on January 1st, 2018, introduced a new impairment accounting model for credit exposures and resulted in an extension of the Bank's scope of recognition, so comparison with the first nine months of 2017 is not significant. On the one hand, the figure at September 30th, 2018 showed a slight increase in write-downs on retail commercial loans compared to the third quarter 2017, caused by the significant increase in performing exposures ( NPLs – non-performing loans - have dropped compared to the previous year) and, on the other, benefited from the write-backs with the Parent Company UniCredit for €1.6 million related to the improvement in the risk profile of the segment.
Profit from investments came to €4.3 million. As described above, the accounting standard IFRS 9 has introduced significant changes, so the comparison with the previous year is not significant. Net profits in
the first nine months of 2018 included net write-backs on exposures on debt securities issued by the Parent Company UniCredit and recorded in "Financial assets at amortised cost" for €4.9 million.
Profit before taxes came to €264.7 million, up by 12.2% compared to €236 million in the first 9 months of 2017.
Net profit at September 30th, 2018 totalled €178.8 million showing an increase of 13.9% compared to €156.9 million for the same period in the previous year.
Shareholders' equity amounted to €904 million and included the Additional Tier 1 Perp (5.5 years) issued on January 31st, 2018. The financial instrument is a private placement, perpetual, issued for an amount of €200 million, entirely subscribed to by UniCredit S.p.A. The coupon for the first 5.5 years was set at 4.82%.
The Bank confirms its capital strength with a CET1 ratio (transitional) at 20.46% (20.77% at year-end 2017). The total transitional capital ratio was 28.88% (20.77% at the end of 2017).
The leverage ratio was 6.00% (5.67% in late 2017) and was calculated in accordance with EU Delegated Regulation 2015/62 of October 10th, 2014. As required by Circular No. 285 of the Bank of Italy, Part Two, Chapter 12, Section III Exercise of national discretion, exposures to the UniCredit Group companies based in Italy and weighted at 0% pursuant to Article 113, par. 6 of the CRR have not been included in the calculation of total exposure, in accordance with Article 429 (7) of the CRR amended by the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/62.
The increase of Total capital ratio transitional and leverage ratio is essentially driven by the issue of the Additional Tier 1, calculable in the Tier 1 of the Bank.
Revenues totalled €153.0 million, down by 2.2% compared to the previous quarter but up by 3.2% compared to the third quarter 2017.
Net interest income in the third quarter came to €69.9 million, up by 1.7% compared to the previous quarter and 3.7% compared to the third quarter 2017, mainly driven by increasing transactional liquidity and greater penetration of lending activity.
The average gross margin on interest-earning assets in the third quarter 2018 is not very different to the previous quarter and totalled 1.29%, whereas it totalled 1.35% in the third quarter 2017.
Net fee and commission income for the third quarter 2018 totalled €72.7 million down by 2.5% compared to the previous quarter, due to the reduction in brokerage commissions partially offset by lower commission expenses to personal financial advisors for incentives, but up 4.3% compared to the third quarter 2017.
Trading Profit totalled €10.7 million down by 18.0% compared to the second quarter 2018 and 3.6% compared to the third quarter 2017, due to lower profits from equities internationalisation and CFDs.
Operating costs in the third quarter came to €58.1 million, down by 4.7% compared to the previous quarter and up compared to the €53.5 million of the third quarter 2017.
Gross operating profit of the third quarter came to €94.9 million down by 0.6% compared to the previous quarter and in line with the €94.8 million of the third quarter 2017.
Provisions for risks and charges in the third quarter came to €15.9 million, up compared to €1.9 million in the previous quarter and compared to €13.6 million in the third quarter 2017, due to the annual ordinary contribution to the Deposits Guarantee Schemes (DGS), estimated as €14.3 million (€12.4 million estimated at September 30th, 2017).
Profit before taxes for the third quarter totalled €77.2 million, down by 2.9% compared to the same period in the previous year. The comparison with the second quarter is not meaningful due to DGS contribution accounted in the third quarter.
Net profit totalled €53.6 million, up by 1.8% compared to the third quarter 2017.
Loans to customers at September 30th, 2018 totalled €2,736 million, up by 28.5% compared to December 31st, 2017 and by 59.5% compared to September 30th, 2017, thanks to a revamp in lending activities, especially mortgages, personal loans and Lombard loans. The amount of non-performing loans (bad debts, unlikely to pay and past due) net of impairment totalled €3 million (slightly up compared to December 31st, 2017) with an 87.7% coverage ratio. The ratio between the amount of non-performing loans and total loans to ordinary customers came to 0.13% (0.16% at December 31st, 2017).
In the Banking area, the Bank added a lot of fuel to lending, with a strong focus on credit quality. Mortgages, launched at the end of 2016, totalled €795 million at September 30th, 2018, +122.6% y/y. Personal loans amounted to €415 million, +27.2% y/y.
