Revenues

  • Strong growth in Net Financial Income (+86.1% y/y, with NII at +158.5% y/y) mainly thanks to our capital light NII (>70% ex. lending) driven by our clients' valuable transactional liquidity and not by lending (not affected by additional costs and provisions due to NPL)
  • Net commissions growing by +4.1% y/y driven by Investing (+4.8% y/y) and Banking (+14.5% y/y)
  • Trading profit excluding the effects from ineffectiveness of the hedging derivatives(3): -18.9% y/y mainly due to lower brokerage activity

Costs

The yearly increase is mainly linked to costs related to the growth of the business, related to:

  • FAM as it is increasing the efficiency of the value chain
  • Marketing expenses

Net of these items, 1H23(4): +5.0% y/y

Net profit

+63.0% y/y excluding 1H22 Profits from Treasury management

Adj. Cost/Income and Adj. RoE calculated net of non recurring items. ROE is calculated as annualised adj.net profit divided by average book equity for the period (excl. valuation reserves)

(3)

The ineffectiveness of the hedging derivatives was equal to +11.7 mln in 1H22 and -5.1 mln in 1H23. The value depends on the application of accounting standards IFRS9, and is influenced both by the spread between the ESTR and the Euribor and by the
