- April performance was in line with plan across all entities, with each business unit meeting its targets
- The loan portfolio is broadly on track, with a modest shortfall in Estonia. Deposits, AUM and payment volumes are all tracking ahead of financial plan year-to-date
- Operating expenses remained in line with plan in April
- Credit quality remained strong with impairments made in amount of EUR 1.0m
- April net profit of EUR 8.7m brings YTD net profit to EUR 28.4m, EUR 0.7m ahead of financial plan
-
LHV Pank and LHV Bank have entered into interest rate swap agreements with each other. As LHV Bank applies hedge accounting, while the related effect is eliminated at the Group level, the sum of the subsidiaries' net profits therefore differs from LHV Group's consolidated net profit. By end of April, this swap revaluation is EUR -3.1m in Pank's books
-
ROE is based on net profit and equity attributable to the owners of AS LHV Group
