Aktia Bank Plc’s Interim Report January-September 2023: Record-high net interest income and good cost management contributed to a strong increase in the underlying business result
July-September in short
January-September in short
Outlook 2023 (unchanged)
Aktia's comparable operating profit for 2023 is expected to be clearly higher than the EUR 65.2 million reported for 2022 under the accounting standard previously applied for the life insurance business.
The outlook has been prepared based on the following assumptions:
Juha Hammarén, CEO:
I am very pleased with Aktia's third quarter development. All three of our business areas, Banking, Asset Management, and Life Insurance, performed well in their sales, and our number of customers increased. As a result of rising interest rates, our net interest income increased by as much as 64 per cent compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. However, we estimate that the rate-hiking cycle is close to its peak. Net commission income remained on the previous year’s level in the third quarter.
The result of the underlying business reached record levels, mainly due to a significant increase in net interest income and a stable cost level. Considering that the comparative figures adjusted to IFRS 17 significantly increased the result of the life insurance business during the comparison period, we can be very satisfied with our performance.
Our Banking business developed strongly in the third quarter. Our total loan book remained stable, although demand for housing loans was subdued as the housing market slowed down and general market uncertainty continued to increase. Good demand for hire purchase and leasing financing among corporate customers compensated for the weak demand for housing loans.
The quality of the loan book remained good, and the average margin of the entire loan book increased. Maintaining the good quality of our loan book is one of our key principles, and we seek to respond to customers’ potential emerging payment difficulties at an early stage. In addition, we are not trying to increase our market share in household mortgages by raising our risk level. Despite the market situation, credit loss provisions remained moderate.
Our Asset Management business developed well, despite the challenging market situation. Net sales to domestic institutional investors and Private Banking customers were positive in the third quarter, but some international investors made redemptions from Aktia's well-performing fixed income funds. As a result, total net sales in the third quarter were negative.
Market changes also weighed down assets under management, which decreased from the previous quarter and amounted to EUR 13.3 billion. During the quarter, we developed our product portfolio and launched a new capital protected equity-linked bond which was well received by customers.
Our Life Insurance business developed well in the third quarter, considering market conditions. The actuarially calculated result improved significantly, but the net income from life insurance decreased compared to the previous year. The adjusted result for the comparison period according to IFRS 17 was very high and makes comparison between years difficult.
Investments in developing customer experience
Comparable operating expenses remained on the previous year’s level in the third quarter despite strong inflation and significant investments in the development of information systems and digital customer experience.
Providing an excellent customer experience is one of the cornerstones of our strategy, and in 2023 we have invested significantly in developing it. This means, among other things, shortening the waiting times for the telephone service, introducing the electronic identification application on a large scale, and providing our customers with comprehensive and high-quality advice in both national languages of Finland. We will also focus on developing our operations so that customers can count on reaching us when they need advice.
We must earn our customers' trust every day. Loyal customers and long customer relationships are a source of pride for us. We want to hold on to them also in the future.
