RBI: Semi-Annual Financial Report 2019
Solid loan growth, capital strengthened further

- Consolidated profit of EUR 571 million

- Positive NII and net fee and commission income development (y-o-y up 8% and 5% respectively, adjusted for revenues from Polish core banking operations sold in 2018)

- Net trading income impacted by fair value result on hedges and on liabilities which neutralize over lifetime of portfolios

- Loans to customers up 9% YTD mainly at head office, in Russia and Central Europe

- Net interest margin slightly lower year-on-year reflecting higher volumes of short-term business at head office and lower margins in Russia

- Risk costs remain low (EUR 12 million)

- NPE ratio further improved to 2.3%

- CET1 ratio increased to 13.8% including YTD results

Outlook

We will pursue loan growth with an average yearly percentage increase in the mid-single digit area.
The provisioning ratio for FY 2019 is expected to be below 45 basis points.
We anticipate that the NPE ratio will further reduce.
We aim to achieve a cost/income ratio of around 55 per cent in 2021.
In the coming years we target a consolidated return on equity of approximately 11 per cent.
We seek to maintain a CET1 ratio of around 13 per cent in the medium term.
Based on this target, we intend to distribute between 20 and 50 per cent of the consolidated profit.
