Margus Rink, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank, comments the
results:
"In the second quarter, the success story of Coop Pank was a decent increase in
business volumes. When in the cooled economic environment, the loan portfolio of
the entire Estonian banking sector has increased by only nearly 350 million
euros this year, our share was approximately one third of it. This means that we
continue to grow our market share. Particularly active business took place in
the home loan and car leasing segments. Also, the volume of business customers
financing is increasing. The quality of the loan portfolio remains high, and
today it can be said that we have made the right loan decisions in the past,
which is proven by the fact that the economic crisis have not hit us.
The interest rate environment has been in a downward trend since last fall.
However, the pace of decline has been slower than it was predicted at the end of
last year. Both the interest on the loan portfolio and the interest paid on
deposits have decreased. The first of them has changed more operatively, because
here what happens in the market is converted into the bank's loan portfolio
faster - the loan interest changes every 6 months. As interest rates on term
deposits change mostly in 12 month increments, the effect of their conversion on
the bank's balance has been slower. As a result of these trends, year-on-year
our net interest margin fell from 4.6% to 3.6%, returning to the level of 2022.
We see significant increases in operating costs in the annual comparison
primarily because in 2023 with informed management decisions we increased the
number of employees by 66. This year, the increase has been only 13 employees,
and the quarterly increase in expenses is in line with the increase in business
volumes.
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%."
