LHV Groupi tulemused veebruaris 2021

Message

Veebruar oli LHV Groupi jaoks tegus kuu kõrge klientide aktiivsusega. Grupi
konsolideeritud puhaskasum oli 3,1 miljonit eurot. LHV Pank teenis 3,3 miljonit
eurot puhaskasumit, sealjuures 0,7 miljonit eurot Ühendkuningriigi filiaaliga
seotud klientide teenindamisest. Varahalduse puhaskasum oli 0,1 miljonit eurot
ning LHV Kindlustus teenis 0,1 miljonit eurot kahjumit.

Olulisematest sündmustest kuulutas uuringufirma DIVE LHV järjekordselt Eesti
parima teenindusega pangaks. LHV tulemus, 98%, oli parim kogu Baltikumis. Lisaks
lisandus klientide pangakaartidele püsiannetuse funktsioon, mis võimaldab selle
sisse lülitanud klientidel iga kaardimaksega heategevusse panustada.
Investeerimisteenuste turuliidrina langetas LHV tehingutasusid välisaktsiatega
kauplejatele, soodustades investeerimist eelkõige väiksemate summadega. Nasdaq
Baltic kuulutas LHV Panga parimaks maakleriks Balti turgudel.

Panga klientide arv kasvas veebruaris 5000 võrra. LHV laenuportfell suurenes
kuuga 19 miljoni euro võrra. Hoiused kasvasid kokku 351 miljoni euro võrra,
suurim kasv tuli finantsvahendajate poolelt.

LHV langetas veebruaris pensionifondide valitsemistasusid. Suurimate aktiivselt
juhitud LHV fondide valitsemistasud langesid senise 0,6% pealt 0,576% peale, LHV
indeksfondide valitsemistasud alanesid pea kahekordselt. Pensionireformi mõjul
vähenes II samba aktiivsete klientide arv, kui eelpensioni- ja pensioniealised
II sambast väljusid. Samas võib positiivseks pidada, et II sambast lahkuda
soovivate klientide arv on olnud prognoositust väiksem.

Veebruari jäi ka LHV Groupi uue tütarettevõtte asutamine, millest on plaanis
kujundada eraldiseisev pank Ühendkuningriigis, juhul kui järelevalve selleks loa
annab. LHV Kindlustus jätkas arendustegevusi kindlustustoodete turule toomiseks,
testimiseks on esimesed kliendilepingud juba sõlmitud. Ettevõte värbab
aktiivselt uusi meeskonnaliikmeid.

Keskmisest lühem kuu jäi tulemuste poolest keskmisele alla, kuid veebruaris
avalikustatud finantsplaan püsib.

Title

LHV Group results for February 2021

Message

February was a busy month for LHV Group, with a high level of client activity.
The consolidated net profit of the Group was EUR 3.1 million. LHV Pank earned
EUR 3.3 million in net profit; at that, EUR 0.7 million from servicing clients
related to the United Kingdom branch. The net profit of Varahaldus was EUR 0.1
million, and LHV Kindlustus recorded a loss of EUR 0.1 million.

Among more important events, survey company DIVE once again declared LHV the
bank with the best service in Estonia. LHV's result, 98%, was the best in the
Baltics. Also, the possibility of permanent donation was added to the bank cards
of clients, which enables clients who have turned it on to contribute to charity
with every card payment. As the market leader for investment services, LHV
reduced transaction fees for traders of foreign shares, facilitating investment
primarily with smaller amounts. Nasdaq Baltic declared LHV Pank the best broker
on the Baltic markets.

The number of bank clients increased by 5000 in February. LHV's loan portfolio
increased by EUR 19 million within the month. Deposits increased by a total of
EUR 351 million; the largest increase arrived on behalf of financial
intermediaries.

In February, LHV reduced the management fees of pension funds. The management
fees of the largest actively managed LHV funds were reduced from the former
0.6% to 0.576%; the management fees of LHV index funds were reduced by almost
two times. As a result of the pension reform, the number of II pillar active
clients was decreased when people of early retirement age and pensionable age
left the II pillar. At the same time, it can be considered a positive fact that
the number of clients wishing to leave the II pillar has been lower than
estimated.

February also saw the establishment of LHV Group's new subsidiary, which is
planned to be shaped into a standalone bank in the United Kingdom, provided that
the supervisory authorities grant permission for it. LHV Kindlustus continued
development activities to introduce new insurance products to the market; the
first client agreements for testing have already been concluded. The company is
actively hiring new team members.

The shorter than average month remained below average in terms of results, but
the financial plan published in February stands.
