NII BACK TO GROWTH (UP 4% QoQ)

1Q - Group results Section 2

NII trend by division (€m)

  • NII resilient due to A&L management and cost of funding optimization. In 1Q22 NII up 4% QoQ due to:
  • Consumer B. bottoming out, with positive impact from volume growth and margins improvement on better mix
  • Volume growth across divisions, despite the still tough margin environment
  • Visible recovery potential ahead merely to return to pre-Covid level: Consumer average volumes now growing steadily QoQ (up 1%) on new loans recovery (€1.8bn in 1Q22), but still €0.6bn below pre-Covid level

  • WM: up 8% QoQ and 27% YoY, reflecting material increase in management fees (up 12% QoQ and 27% YoY), backed by growing AUM/AUA quality, and a partial contribution from MB/Blackrock co-investments initiative, which will generate management fees starting from next quarters
  • CIB: satisfactory trend in 1Q22 after a record FY21 (fees up 23% QoQ but down 4% YoY), with sound performance in Advisory business despite lack of jumbo deals and in lending; lower ECM but good pipeline ahead
  • Consumer Banking: still impacted by lower insurance product sales

  • ROAC @15%, reflecting net profit of €69m (up 29% QoQ and down 19% YoY due only to lower credit write-backs)
