23 October 2015 Banco Comercial Português informs about Bank Millennium (Poland) results in 9M15

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. hereby informs that Bank Millennium in Poland, in which it has a 50.1% holding and whose accounts are fully consolidated in BCP group level, released today its results for the first nine months of 2015, whose highlights are as follows:

Consolidated net profit in 9M2015 amounted to PLN 493.5 million (€ 118.8 million), PLN 165.7 million in 3Q 2015 (€ 39.5 million), which represents flat results both y-o-y and quarterly. This stable profit was achieved despite the unfavorable environment for the banking sector in Poland, which resulted in a decrease of operating income, including a decrease of net interest income (due to interest rate cuts) and commission income (due to regulatory interventions; e.g. cut of cards fees). Bank Millennium compensated a y-o-y decrease of operating income with a reduction of operating costs and impairment provisions.

Main financial and business highlights of 9M2015 results are the following:

Stable profitability and improving cost efficiency

  • Stable net profit at PLN 493.5 million (€ 118.8 million) in 9M2015 and PLN 165.7 million (€ 39.5 million) in 3Q15
  • Operating costs fell 2.5% y-o-y, despite higher fees paid to the Banking Guarantee Fund
  • Cost to income in 3Q15 at 49.2%
  • ROE at 11.1%
