    31 July 2018

    Growing income and profit. Rising credit sales and client base – H1 2018 in mBank Group.

    In H1 2018, mBank Group reported business growth across all segments. Core income was record high, helped by stable growth in volumes, improved structure of assets, rising client base and higher number or transactions per client. In addition, net profit rose, supported by the sale of an organised part of mFinanse.
    Key highlights of H1 2018:
    • Increase in net profit attributable to mBank’s shareholders by 43.0% to PLN 698.4 million compared with H1 2017.
    • Increase in total income by 19.7% year on year, driven mainly by a rise in core income (+8.6%) and the proceeds from the sale of an organised part of mFinanse in Q1 2018.
    • Rise in operating expenses (including amortisation/depreciation) by 4.4% against H1 2017 attributable to higher staff-related expenses, material costs and amortisation/depreciation, amid higher efficiency measured by the cost-to-income ratio (normalised cost-to-income ratio fell to 44.8% in H1 2018 from 46.5% in H1 2017).
    • Increase in net impairment losses and fair value change on loans and advances by 66.7%, driven by higher provisions in the corporate and retail banking segment.
    • Rise in net loans and advances by 6.1% compared with the end of 2017.
    • Growth in clients’ deposits (+6.9% compared with the end of 2017), triggered mainly by higher deposits in current accounts held by individuals.
