Financial Results

"In 2024, Eurobank has demonstrated exceptional organic growth and transformative strategic activity. The bank's performance surpassed all targets set. We increased our deposits by more than €6 billion and injected €4 billion into the economy, facilitating our clients in leveraging growth and fostering substantial progress across our three primary markets: Greece, Cyprus, and Bulgaria. Overall, we expanded our loan portfolio by more than 10%.

Supported by a strong capital base and consistent solid performance with a return on tangible book value at 18.5%, we are distributing 50% of our profits to our shareholders through cash dividend and share buyback.

Going forward, for 2025 and the next three years, our key objective is to achieve a sustainable RoTBV of 15%. Our growth outlook is reinforced by the following pillars: first, the anticipated further credit expansion, of about 8% annually, second, continued development of our asset management and private banking franchise, and third, reaping the benefits and synergies of our leading position in Cyprus. Our plan is translated into value creation through TBV per share steadily improving, and also, shareholder payout of at least 50%.

Eurobank's well-diversified regional business model and activity in a high-growth area within Eurozone have led to a successful track record. After a record year in 2024, the bank's prospects for 2025 and the period from 2025 to 2027 remain highly promising."
