BT FINANCIAL RESULTS, Q1 2015 - details:

Three factors contributed to the increase of BT’s operating income in Q1 2015: our constant support to the real economy, the development of new products and services, respectively the focus on increasing activity on all areas of interest to the bank. All these factors have led to increasing operational income, which amounted to RON 548.2 million in Q1 2015, 29% higher compared to Q1 2014, when it amounted to RON 424.7 million. BT’s positive results were supported by activity streamlining and cost control initiatives, which led to an improvement of the cost-to-income ratio by 11% versus Q1 2014, up to 41.7%.

The number of active clients – both individuals and companies – increased by 7.4% compared to the same period last year, from 1.78 million to 1.91 million clients. Banca Transilvania maintained its attention both on retail and SME clients, with tailored approaches for specialized segments. The number of operations through BT accounts was 12% higher versus the same period of 2013, with a fee income increase exceeding 10%.

At the end of Q1 2015, BT’s market share as concerns the volume of payments settled through Transfond reached 11.13%.

Consistent figure increases were also recorded in the retail segment for Banca Transilvania, with granted loans exceeding RON 586 million.

The loan portfolio balance reached RON 20,193 million as at 31.03.2015, whereas deposits from clients amounted to RON 30,196 million, resulting in a loan-to-deposit ratio of 66.9%. Banca Transilvania continues to record a very comfortable liquidity level, with a quick ratio of 55.4%, considerably better than the banking market average.

Further to the undertaking initiated in Q2 2014, in compliance with the recommendation of the National Bank of Romania, we continued to write off loans with a debt service of more than 360 days, which are fully covered by depreciation adjustments. Write-offs amounted to RON 299 million in Q1 2015.

Over the past years, Banca Transilvania has pursued a prudent lending policy, with special attention granted to risk dispersion.
