Margus Rink, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank, comments the results: “At the beginning of September, the 200,000th customer joined Coop Pank. We continue to rapidly grow our customer base: an average, the number of our customers increases by nearly 2,000 and the number of customers actively using our services by nearly 1,000 every month.
In the third quarter, the growth of Coop Pank's loan portfolio was driven by private customer home loans. The growth of the business customers loan portfolio was modest. Over the year, the loan portfolio of private and business customers of Estonian banks has grown by nearly 6% (€1.6 billion), while the loan portfolio of Coop Pank has grown by nearly 11% (€167 million). Thus, Coop Pank's loan volumes grow twice as fast as the market.
The quality of the loan portfolio continues to be very good, and the long stagnation in the economy has not affected the payment behaviour of customers.
The interest rate environment is in a downward trend. Since the fall of last year, the 6-month Euribor has fallen by almost 1 percentage point (from 4.1% to 3.1%). Interest on deposits has also responded: the interest paid on annual deposits has decreased by 1 percentage point (from 4.3% to 3.3%). As a result of the mentioned trends, our net interest margin fell from 4.4% to 3.9% during the year. In a falling interest rate environment, the bank's revenues can only grow at the expense of the growth of business volumes, and that is how it has been at Coop Pank.
In summary, with the bank's performance indicators, after the extraordinary year of 2023 with high interest levels, we are back in reality, i.e. at the level of 2022. According to Coop Pank's long-term goals, our cost-income ratio is below 50% and our return on equity is above 15%." | Income statement, in th. of euros | Q3 2024 | Q2 2024 | Q3 2023 | 9M 2024 | 9M 2023 | | Net interest income | 20 021 | 19 319 | 21 257 | 58 420 | 60 672 | | Net fee and commission income | 1 040 | 1 000 | 1 147 | 3 054 | 3 359 | | Net other income | 167 | 146 | 334 | 438 | 758 | | Total net income | 21 228 | 20 464 | 22 738 | 61 912 | 64 789 | | Payroll expenses | -6 138 | -5 858 | -5 297 | -17 405 | -14 739 | | Marketing expenses | -593 | -775 | -630 | -1 902 | -1 676 | | Rental and office expenses, depr. of tangible assets | -729 | -775 | -673 | -2 299 | -2 098 | | IT expenses and depr. of intangible assets | -1 579 | -1 474 | -1 203 | -4 457 | -3 440 | | Other operating expenses | -1 221 | -1 208 | -1 218 | -3 716 | -3 230 | | Total operating expenses | -10 261 | -10 091 | -9 022 | -29 777 | -25 182 | | Net profit before impairment losses | 10 967 | 10 374 | 13 716 | 32 135 | 39 607 | | Impairment costs on financial assets | -1 022 | -1 224 | -1 296 | -2 822 | -5 155 | | Net profit before income tax | 9 945 | 9 150 | 12 420 | 29 313 | 34 452 | | Income tax expenses | -1 296 | -1 152 | -1 344 | -3 528 | -3 634 | | Net profit for the period | 8 649 | 7 998 | 11 076 | 25 785 | 30 818 | | | | | | | | | Earnings per share, eur | 0,08 | 0,08 | 0,11 | 0,25 | 0,30 | | Diluted earnings per share, eur | 0,08 | 0,08 | 0,11 | 0,25 | 0,30 |
