Kuigi klientide aktiivsus jäi üldiselt aasta algusele omaselt madalamaks, oli mõnede toodete kasutamine rekordiline. Laenuportfelli kvaliteet on püsinud oodatust tugevamal tasemel, allahindlusi tehti ettevaatavalt makromajanduse stsenaariume arvestades. LHV Panga klientide arv kasvas kvartaliga 10 500 võrra. Klientide aktiivsus arvelduste ja pangakaartide kasutamise osas oli eelmisest kvartalist madalam, kuid kõrge näiteks kodulaenude ja ettevõtetele antavate mikrolaenude osas. Seejuures kodulaenude aktiivse refinantseerimise taustal oli märts LHV kodulaenu jaoks rekordkuu. Kvartaliga kasvas jaelaenude portfell 30 miljoni euro võrra. LHV Panga ettevõtete laenude maht suurenes I kvartalis 37 miljoni euro võrra. Laenunõudlus on kasvamas. Endiselt on panga üldine fookus hoiuste kaasamisel. Muu hulgas tõi LHV Pank klientide jaoks turule uue kogumistoote LHV Kogumiskonto, millega on võimalik teenida 2% intressi rahalt, mida soovi korral saab kohe kasutada. LHV Panga tavaklientide hoiused kasvasid kvartaliga 121 miljoni euro võrra, finantsvahendajate hoiused 38 miljoni euro võrra, platvormidelt kaasatud hoiused vähenesid 23 miljoni euro võrra. Nõudmiseni hoiused kasvasid 37 miljoni euro võrra, samal ajal kui tähtajaliste hoiuste maht suurenes 100 miljoni euro võrra. Kvartali jooksul lisandus LHV mobiiliäppi PIN-koodi lukust avamise võimalus, internetipanka tavainvesteeringute maksudeklaratsioonile automaatse edastuse võimalus. Kvartali lõpus lisas LHV valikusse pangateenuste eripakkumise õpetajatele. Kvartali jooksul tunnustati LHV-d nii Eesti parima teenindusega pangana uuringufirma Dive poolt kui ka Eesti parima tööandjana CV-Online'i poolt. Ühendkuningriigis tegutsev LHV Bank on nüüdsest iseseisvalt finantseeritud, kui maksis sõsarpangale tagasi 66 miljoni eurose laenu. Ühtlasi käivitas LHV Bank edukalt hoiuste kaasamise kolmandal platvormil - Hargreaves Lansdown. Kokku on nüüdseks kaasatud hoiuseid üle 4000 hoiustajalt. LHV Banki fookuses on laenuportfelli kasvatamine maaklerite võrgustiku kaudu ja laenuhaldurite arvu kahekordistamise esimese poolaasta jooksul. Märtsi lõpuks oli laenuportfell kasvanud 95 miljoni euroni ning krediidikomitee poolt heaks kiidetud veel 79 miljoni euro väärtuses väljastamata laene. Töös on ka jaepanganduse pakkumise arendamine koos uue kodulehe ja mobiilipangaga. Kvartali jooksul näitasid aktiivsust finantsvahendajatest kliendid, segmendi maksete mahud olid ajalooliselt kõrgeimal tasemel. LHV Varahalduse tulemust mõjutas 4,9 miljoni euro dividendimakse emaettevõttele, millega kaasnes 800 tuhande euro suurune maksukulu. Fondide maht ning puhakasum on plaanitust veidi ees eelkõige suuremate fondide hea tootluse ning finantstulu tõttu. Varahalduse aktiivsete klientide arv kvartali jooksul veidi langes 120 tuhande kliendi tasemele. 4300 klienti teatas II samba pensioni sissemaksete suurendamise soovist. Aktsiaturgude väga tugeva kvartali taustal kujunes LHV pensionifondide M, L ja XL kvartalitootluseks vastavalt 1,5%, 2,9% ja 2,9%. Konservatiivsemate fondide XS ja S tootluseks kujunes 1,5% ja 1,6%. Pensionifond Indeks tõusis kvartaliga 8,7%, pensionifond Roheline langes 5,3%. LHV Kindlustus jätkas optimaalsel kasvukursil. Kvartali lõpu seisuga kaitseb LHV Kindlustus kokku 164 tuhandet klienti, kes on sõlminud kokku 233 tuhat lepingut. Kindlustuse müügimahud kasvasid kvartaliga 32%. Brutopreemiad olid I kvartalil 40% suuremad kui aasta tagasi samal ajal. Suurenenud on ka kahjujuhtumite arv, mis käib koos portfelli suurenemisega. Registreeriti 22 800 uut kahjujuhtumit, käsitlus lõpetati 22 400 juhtumi puhul. I kvartalil jõudis lõpule Euroopa Keskpanga poolt läbi viidud varade kvaliteedi hindamine, mille LHV edukalt läbis. Märtsis toimunud aktsionäride korralisel üldkoosolekul otsustati maksta eelmise aasta eest aktsionäridele rekordiline dividend 13 senti aktsia kohta. Dividendid maksti välja 12. aprillil. Veebruaris avalikustatud finantsplaani edestas LHV Group 3 kuu kokkuvõttes puhaskasumi osas 7,8 miljoni euro võrra. Finantsplaan püsib. LHV Groupi juhatuse esimehe Madis Toomsalu kommentaar: "LHV jaoks oli tegemist teguderohke ja tugeva kvartaliga. Eesti majandus vajab kasvu taastamiseks investeeringuid, suutsime siin laenumahtude kasvuga anda mõõduka panuse. Lisaks ettevõtete laenudele kasvasid tugevalt ka kodulaenud, samuti ettetehtud tööna Inglismaal asuva LHV Bankis otsustatud laenude maht. Seejuures on grupi tütarettevõtete laenukvaliteet püsinud heal tasemel. Kvartali jooksul avaldati ka Euroopa Keskpanga poolse mahuka varade kvaliteedi hindamise tulemused, mis näitasid LHV head kapitaliseeritust. Meie fookus on endiselt ärimahtude kasvul ning klientide aktiivsuse kasvatamisel." AS-i LHV Group aruanded on saadaval aadressil: https://investor.lhv.ee/aruanded.

Even though client activity generally remained low, as is characteristic of the beginning of the year, some products saw record levels of use. The quality of the loan portfolio has remained stronger than expected; discounts were made proactively, considering the macroeconomic scenarios. The number of LHV Pank clients increased by 10,500 over the quarter. Client activity in terms of the use of settlements and bank cards was lower compared to the previous quarter, but high in terms of home loans and micro loans granted to companies, for example. At that, against the backdrop of active refinancing of home loans, March was a record month for the LHV home loan. The portfolio of retail loans increased by EUR 30 million over the quarter. The volume of corporate loans granted by LHV Pank increased by EUR 37 million in Q1. The demand for loans is increasing. The general focus of the bank is still on raising deposits. Among other things, LHV Pank introduced a new savings product for its clients - the LHV Savings Account - which enables 2% interest to be generated on funds while leaving said funds immediately accessible. The deposits of standard clients of LHV Pank increased by EUR 121 million over the quarter, the deposits of financial intermediaries increased by EUR 38 million, while deposits raised from platforms decreased by EUR 23 million. Demand deposits increased by EUR 37 million, while fixed-term deposits increased by EUR 100 million. Over the quarter, the possibility to unblock a PIN was added to the LHV mobile app, and the possibility to automatically transfer regular investments to the tax declaration was added to the Internet bank. At the end of the quarter, LHV added a special offer on banking services for teachers to its selection. During the quarter, LHV was recognised as the bank with the best service in Estonia by the survey company Dive, and as the best employer in Estonia by CV-Online. LHV Bank, which operates in the United Kingdom, is now independently financed, having paid back the EUR 66 million loan to its sister bank. LHV Bank also successfully launched the raising of deposits on a third platform - Hargreaves Lansdown. Right now, deposits from over 4,000 depositors have been raised. LHV Bank focuses on growing its loan portfolio through a network of brokers and doubling its number of loan managers in the first half of the year. By the end of March, the loan portfolio had increased to EUR 95 million, and the credit committee had approved an additional EUR 79 million worth of loans which had not yet been issued. The development of retail banking, together with a new website and mobile bank, is also in the works. Over the quarter, financial intermediary clients showed activity: the volumes of payments of the segment were at a record high. The result of LHV Varahaldus was affected by a EUR 4.9 million dividend payment to the parent company, accompanied by a tax expense of EUR 800 thousand. The volume of funds and the net profit are slightly ahead of the plan, primarily due to the good rate of return and financial revenue of larger funds. The number of active clients of Varahaldus decreased a little over the quarter, to around 120 thousand clients. 4,300 clients declared their wish to increase their II pension pillar contributions. In the context of a very strong quarter for stock markets, the quarterly ROE of LHV pension funds M, L, and XL amounted to 1.5%, 2.9%, and 2.9%, respectively. The more conservative funds XS and S had a rate of return of 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively. Pensionifond Indeks increased by 8.7% over the quarter; Pensionifond Roheline decreased by 5.3%. LHV Kindlustus continued on an optimal course of growth. As at the end of the quarter, LHV Kindlustus protects a total of 164 thousand clients, who have concluded a total of 233 thousand contracts. The sales volumes of Kindlustus increased by 32% over the quarter. Gross premiums in Q1 increased by 40% year- on-year. At the same time, the number of loss events has also increased, which is normal with the increase of the portfolio. 22,800 new loss events were registered, and 22,400 events were closed. In Q1, the asset quality review conducted by the European Central Bank was completed, and LHV passed it successfully. The annual general meeting of shareholders in March decided to pay a record dividend of 13 cents per share to shareholders for the previous year. The dividends were paid on 12 April. In terms of net profit and in a summary of 3, LHV Group was ahead of the financial plan published in February by EUR 7.8 million. The financial plan stands. Comment by Madis Toomsalu, Chairman of the Management Board at LHV Group: "For LHV, it was a busy and strong quarter. The Estonian economy needs investments to restore its growth, and with the increase in loan volumes, we were able to make a moderate contribution here. In addition to corporate loans, home loans also increased strongly, as did the volume of loans decided in LHV Bank in England. At that, the loan quality of subsidiaries of the Group has remained at a good level. During the quarter, the results of the extensive asset quality review conducted by the European Central Bank were also published, and these showed LHV's good capitalisation. Our focus is still on growing business volumes and increasing client activity." AS LHV Group's reports are available at: https://investor.lhv.ee/en/reports (https://investor.lhv.ee/en/reports/). In order to introduce the financial results, LHV Group will be organising an investor meeting via the Zoom webinar environment.
