Hamburg, 14 December 2021 - Due to the once again very good business performance in the fourth quarter of 2021 in connection with a risk provisioning below expectations, Varengold Bank AG (symbol: VG8) is currently expecting earnings before taxes (EBT*) as a key performance indicator of between EUR 21 million and EUR 22 million for the 2021 financial year. Previously, the Bank forecasted EBT of EUR 16.4 million for the current financial year.

Based on the development of earnings in 2021, the Management Board has deduced an initial forecast and expects EBT at a comparable level in the coming 2022 financial year.
