Van Lanschot trading update: profit improvement in Q1 2012
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Higher assets under management translate into improved management fees
* Capital and liquidity position remains excellent: Core Tier I ratio 11.0%;
funding ratio 90.1%
Constant Korthout, CFRO of Van Lanschot: "The excellent capital and liquidity
position of the bank reflects its undiminished strong foundations. The financial
markets remain extremely volatile due in part to the ongoing European debt
crisis. Thanks to our solid base, we saw a significant improvement in profit in
the first quarter of 2012 compared with the second half of 2011."
The interest margin was slightly lower in the first quarter. The loan portfolio
of client loans decreased slightly in the first quarter as a result of the
focused policy on target group clients and the continuing trend of early
repayment of mortgage debts. The addition to the loan loss provision remained
stable compared with the second half of last year.
Management fees increased in the first quarter. Clients were more active in
investing compared with the end of last year, although activity has not yet
returned to the levels seen prior to the European debt crisis.
The investment and cost reduction programme announced in January is being
executed according to plan and the first effects of the plan are starting to
show. Operating expenses were down slightly compared with the first quarter of
2011 and the bank is on track to realise its cost reduction target for this
year. Of the planned reduction of a total of 300 FTEs in the period up to and
including 2014, a reduction of over 100 FTEs is expected to be achieved this
year. The international private banking activities are to be concentrated in
Switzerland.
