Baader Bank AG posts positive full year results
In a difficult market environment, Baader Bank AG was able to generate a preliminary, positive consolidated net profit of EUR 0.7 million after taxes for the full year 2011. A comparison of the results with the published figures from the same period last year has only limited informational value because the Bank transitioned its accounting from IFRS to the German Commercial Code (HGB) with effect from 1 January 2011.
The retained earnings of Baader Bank AG are EUR 2.4 million. At the General Meeting of Shareholders on 29 June 2012, a dividend of EUR 0.03 (previous year: EUR 0.12) will be proposed to shareholders. The distribution will be made from the taxable deposit account.
'The diversification of our business model is paying off. In a very challenging environment, which was dominated by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, we were able to anchor our income on a broader basis and further expand our position in investment banking,' said Uto Baader, Chairman of the Executive Board of Baader Bank.
Due to a higher interest margin, net interest income grew to EUR 5.9 million, more than 20% higher than previous year's levels.
Investor uncertainty led to a considerable decline in trading activities in all market segments. This especially impacted on the Bank's net trading income which, at EUR 46.3 million, was 27.3% below the results in the previous year.
As a consequence, there was a decline in the basis of measurement for the contributions to the fund for general bank risks in accordance with Section 340e (4) HGB, and an amount totalling EUR 5.9 million could be released.
At EUR 31.2 million, net fee and commission income was about 10% below the level in the same period last year. This decline resulted from lower volume- and success-based commission income as a result of unfavourable market conditions and lower client activity, particularly in the second half of the year.
Despite significant investments in personnel and tangible assets for the expansion of new business segments, administrative expense grew by only 1.2%. The primary reasons for this are strict cost discipline and lower expense for performance-based compensation due to the Bank's flexible remuneration model.
As of 31 December 2011, the Group has equity totalling EUR 135.1 million when taking into account the fund for general banking risks. The Group employed 414 people at the end of the year (31 December 2010: 389).
