Hellenic Bank Public Company Ltd. announced that the Group's profit after tax for the fourth quarter of 2016 is expected to show a negative deviation compared to the previous quarter and the corresponding period of last year, relating to partial derecognition of the deferred tax asset arising from tax losses, as well as possible increased impairment losses for the fourth quarter of 2016 due to the adoption of more conservative assumptions in relation to certain elements of the Bank's provisioning methodology.
