BIGBANK teenis 9 kuuga 46,9 miljonit krooni kasumit

Message

Tänavu kolmandas kvartalis oma tegevuse laiendamisele väljapoole Balti riike
panustanud BIGBANKi grupp teenis 9 kuuga kokku 46,9 miljonit krooni kasumit. 
BIGBANKi grupi intressitulud ulatusid kolmandas kvartalis 115,4 miljoni
kroonini, vähenedes võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga 34,8 miljonit
krooni. Intressikulud moodustasid samal ajal 28,6 miljonit krooni võrreldes
44,8 miljoni krooniga eelmise aasta samal perioodil. Intressikulude vähenemine
on eelkõige seotud hoiuseintresside langusega ja võlakirjade osakaalu
vähenemisega kohustuste struktuuris. 
BIGBANKi laenuportfelli maht oli septembri lõpu seisuga 2 247,7 miljonit
krooni. Koguvarade maht kasvas III kvartalis 240,5 miljoni krooni võrra,
kusjuures laenuportfell suurenes 64,6 miljoni krooni võrra, kasvades
kvartaalselt esimest korda alates 2009. aasta teisest kvartalist. 
Grupi kasum 2010. aasta kolmandas kvartalis oli 16,8 miljonit krooni, võrreldes
18,7 miljoni krooniga eelmises kvartalis. Kasum enne allahindlusi ulatus
kolmandas kvartalis 59,8 miljoni kroonini. Kokku teenis BIGBANK 9 kuuga 46,9
miljonit krooni kasumit. 
BIGBANKi juhatuse esimehe Targo Rausi sõnul jätkas pank oma tegevuse
laiendamist väljaspool Baltikumi. “Aasta alguses alustasime laenude
väljastamist Soomes, kus oleme oma arengutega graafikus,” lausus Raus. Teise
olulise trendina tõi Raus välja klientide maksekäitumise paranemise võrreldes
eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. 
BIGBANK AS on Eesti kapitalil põhinev spetsialiseerunud pank, millel on
filiaalid Soomes, Lätis ja Leedus ning mis pakub piiriülese teenusena oma
tooteid ka Austrias ja Saksamaal. 2010. aasta III kvartali lõpu seisuga oli
BIGBANKis 452 töötajat. Kontorite arv oli kvartali lõpu seisuga kokku 28, sh
Eestis 10.  BIGBANKil oli septembri lõpu seisuga 108 000 laenuklienti.

BIGBANK´s net profit of the first 9 months of 2010 amounted to 46,9 million kroons

Message

BIGBANK´s net profit of the first 9 months of 2010 amounted to 46,9 million
kroons; the bank continued to focus on expanding its activities outside the
Baltic states. 
In the third quarter, interest income amounted to 115.4 million kroons,
decreasing by 34.8 million kroons compared to the same period of the previous
year. During the same period interest expenses totalled 28.6 million kroons,
compared to the 44.8 million kroons of the same period of the previous year.
Reduction of the interest expenses is above all connected with the decrease in
the deposit interest and the increase in the share of deposits and decrease in
the share of bonds in the structure of liabilities. 
As of the end of September BIGBANK´s loan portfolio amounted to 2 247,7 million
kroons. Total assets increased by 240,5 million kroons during the third quarter
and the loan portfolio grew by 64.6 million kroons, growing on quarterly basis
for the first time since the second quarter of 2009. 
Net profit of the third quarter amounted to 16.8 million kroons, compared to
the 18.7 million kroons of the previous quarter. In the third quarter, profit
before impairment allowances totalled 59.8 million kroons. BIGBANK´s net profit
of the first 9 months of 2010 amounted to 46,9 million kroons. 
According to Targo Raus, the Chairman of the Management Board of BIGBANK, the
company continued to expand outside the Baltic states. “In the beginning of the
year we started issuing loans in Finland and currently we are in schedule with
our developments there,” said Raus. As a second important trend Raus pointed
out that payment behavior of clients has improved compared to the same period
of the previous year. 
BIGBANK AS is a specialised credit institution based on Estonian capital, which
has branches in Finland, Latvia and Lithuania and provides its services on
cross-border basis also in Austria and Germany. As of the end of September 2010
BIGBANK had 452 employees and 28 offices, of which 10 offices were located in
Estonia. As of the end of September BIGBANK had 108 000 loan customers.
