Bawag: Bawag Group today released its results for the first half 2021, reporting a net profit of Euro 193 mn, Euro 2.17 earnings per share, and a RoTCE of 13.2%. The first six months include front-loaded regulatory charges of Euro 56 mn, representing approximately 93% of full-year charges. For the second quarter 2021 Bawag Group reported a net profit of Euro 119 mn, Euro 1.34 earnings per share, and a RoTCE of 16.3%. “We started the first half of the year with a strong set of operating results delivering net profit of Euro 193 mn, RoTCE of 13.2% and cost-income ratio of 40.3%. Although we’ve experienced rolling and partial lockdowns in our core markets during the first few months of 2021, we expect the gradual normalization of economic activity to carry into the second half of the year and have increased our targets to an RoTCE ~15% and CIR ~40% for the full year. However, despite the improvement in the overall macroeconomic environment from last year and the continued positive developments across our customer base, we decided not to release any credit reserves. In terms of operational developments, we continue to reposition our business and adapt to a post-COVID-19 world. We will focus on the things that we can control, be proactive and decisive, and not be deterred by the changes ahead as we continue to transform our business and deliver sustainable profitable growth. Following the most recent communication of the European Central Bank lifting the recommended dividend ban from last year, we decided to bring forward our Annual General Meeting as well as our Investor Day, where we will communicate our new targets and 4-year Plan through 2025,” commented Chief Executive Officer Anas Abuzaakouk.
Bawag: weekly performance: 4.26%
