  • 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

  • The customer base expanded by 1,800 in the retail segment and 800 in the corporate segment, bringing the total to 503,000 customers, of whom 232,000 are actively using LHV Pank for everyday payments
  • The net loan portfolio grew by EUR 7m, driven by a EUR 15m increase in retail loans, partly offset by an EUR 8m reduction in the corporate loan book
  • Deposits increased by EUR 9m. The most significant movements came from deposit platforms, where we repaid EUR 124m in deposits that matured without renewal
  • Credit quality remained strong, while we increased forward-looking impairments by EUR 1.4m
  • Both income and expenses were in line with plan. Income includes a EUR 0.8m intragroup swap revaluation charge, which is eliminated at Group level and has no impact on consolidated results
  • April net profit of EUR 7.4m brings YTD net profit to EUR 27.6m. Excluding the intragroup swaps effect, Pank is ahead of financial plan by EUR 1.2m
