LHV Groupi 2023. aasta I kvartali auditeerimata majandustulemused

Teade

AS LHV Group teenis käesoleva aasta I kvartalis 33,1 miljonit eurot puhaskasumit
ehk 8,7 miljonit eurot enam kui eelmises kvartalis (+36%) ja 20,7 miljonit eurot
enam kui aasta tagasi (+167%). LHV Groupi aktsionäridele kuuluva omakapitali
tootlus oli I kvartalis 30,4%.

AS LHV Pank teenis I kvartalis 37,3 miljonit eurot puhaskasumit. AS LHV
Varahaldus teenis I kvartalis 87 tuhat eurot puhaskasumit. AS LHV Kindlustuse
puhaskahjumiks kujunes I kvartalis 450 tuhat eurot ning LHV UK Limitedi
puhaskahjumiks 2,5 miljonit eurot.

Grupp teenis 2023. aasta I kvartalis konsolideeritult 68,4 miljonit eurot
tulusid ehk 21% rohkem kui eelmises kvartalis. Tuludest 55,1 miljonit eurot
moodustasid neto intressitulud ning 11,9 miljonit eurot neto teenustasutulud.
Konsolideerimisgrupi tegevuskulud moodustasid I kvartalis 30,6 miljonit eurot
ehk 14% enam kui 2022. aasta IV kvartalis.

Märtsi lõpuks oli LHV Groupi konsolideeritud varade maht 6,09 miljardit eurot.
Kvartaliga vähenes varade maht 45 miljoni euro võrra ehk 1%.

Grupi konsolideeritud hoiused vähenesid I kvartalis 34 miljoni euro võrra 4,87
miljardi euroni (-1%; -268 miljonit eurot 2022. aasta IV kvartalis). Hoiuste
vähenemise põhjuseks on finantsvahendajate hoiuste vähenemine ligikaudu 98
miljoni euro võrra, samal ajal kui tavaklientide hoiused kasvasid 64 miljonit
eurot.
Konsolideeritud laenuportfelli maht vähenes kvartaliga 59 miljoni euro võrra
3,15 miljardi euroni (-2%; +114 miljonit eurot 2022. aasta IV kvartalis).
Ettevõtete laenud vähenesid 69 miljoni euro võrra ja jaelaenud suurenesid 10
miljoni euro võrra.
LHV poolt juhitud fondide koondmaht suurenes I kvartaliga 119 miljoni euro võrra
1,45 miljardi euroni (+9%; +66 miljonit eurot 2022. aasta IV kvartalis).
Finantsvahendajatest klientidega seotud töödeldud maksete arv ulatus I kvartalis
9,1 miljoni makseni (+25% võrreldes 7,3 miljoni maksega 2022. aasta IV
kvartalis)

Kasvanud intressitulud ning krediidiportfelli hea kvaliteet aitasid LHV Groupil
kasumlikkuse eesmärki 11,9 miljoni euro võrra edestada. Finantsplaan püsib.

LHV jaoks iseloomustas 2023. aasta algust intressitulude kasv, kuid ka tuntav
ärevus majanduses. Kuigi laenude ja hoiuste koondmaht püsis eelmise kvartaliga
sarnasel tasemel, prognoosib ettevõte edasiseks kasvu jätkumist. Kvartali
jooksul alustas LHV UK Limited Ühendkuningriigis laenude väljastamist.

LHV Panga klientide arv kasvas kolme kuuga 13 100 võrra (+3%). Aastaga on
pangaklientide arv suurenenud enam kui 53 000 kliendi võrra (+16%). Kasvamas on
ka klientide aktiivsus. Kuigi aastaalguse madalseisu järel on märgata uuesti
laenunõudluses tugevnemist, tähendas kahe suurema laenu tagasimaksmine
koondportfelli kahanemist. Laenuportfelli kvaliteet on hea, maksetähtaja
ületanud laenude osakaal on jätkuvalt madal, kuid täheldatav on võlgnevuste
vähene kasv väikelaenude puhul.

Kvartali jooksul kasvas klientide huvi tähtajalise hoiustamise vastu. Sellele
aitasid kaasa intressikeskkonna muutuste taustal mitmel korral kergitatud
hoiuste intressid.

Aasta alguses liitus pangaga uus investeerimispanganduse meeskond. Lisandumas on
endiselt investeerivaid jaekliente - populaarse Kasvukonto omanike arv ületas
jaanuaris 50 000 piiri.

Kvartali jooksul läbiviidud uuringud näitavad LHV teeninduse ja pakutava
kliendikogemuse kõrget taset. Uuringufirma Dive tunnistas LHV pangandussektori
teeninduse uuringus parima teenindusega pangaks Eestis. Kantar Emori ja Rait
Faktum Ariko ettevõtete soovitusindeksi uuringutes saavutas LHV pankade
arvestuses parima tulemuse. Ühtlasi kuulutati LHV Pank veebruaris ärisektori
unistuste tööandjaks ja märtsi Top Tööandjaks CV-Online poolt. Nii LHV Tartu kui
ka Pärnu kontorile omistati märtsis Euroopa Rohelise Kontori tunnistus.

Ühendkuningriigis alustas LHV UK Limited laenude väljastamist ning on tegemas
ettevalmistusi äri üleviimiseks loodavasse panka. Tänaseks on poolsada töötajat
liikunud AS LHV Pangast Ühendkuningriigi tütarettevõttesse. Alates märtsis
alustati ka finantsvahendajate äri tulude jagamist LHV UK Limitediga.

LHV Varahalduse jaoks oli 2023. aasta I kvartal aktsiaturgude volatiilsuse
taustal tulemuslik. Hallatavate II pensionisamba fondide mahtu kasvatas lisaks
tootlusele vahepeal riigi poolt peatatud II samba maksete kompenseerimine koos
keskmise tootlusega jaanuaris. Suurimate aktiivselt juhitud LHV pensionifondide
M, L ja XL tootluseks kujunes kvartalis vastavalt 1,5%, 2,0% ja 2,3%.
Pensionifondide Indeks ja Roheline osakute väärtused tõusid kvartaliga 4,3% ja
5,0%. Varahalduse kasumlikkust mõjutas I kvartalil dividendimaksega kaasnenud
tulumaksukulu 0,5 miljonit eurot.

LHV Kindlustus jätkas ärimahtude ja efektiivsuse kasvatamist kõikide
tooteliinide lõikes. Teenitud preemiad kasvasid I kvartalis 17% ja edestavad
finantsplaani. Kvartali lõpu seisuga omasid kliendid 220 tuhat kehtivat
kindlustuslepingut. Kvartaliga sõlmiti 13 800 uut kindlustuslepingut ja
käsitleti 3735 kahjujuhtumit. Klientide rahulolu kahjukäsitlusega püsib kõrgel
tasemel.

Märtsis toimunud aktsionäride korralisel üldkoosolekul otsustas Group eelmise
majandusaasta eest omanikutulu maksmise. Dividendid 4 senti aktsia kohta maksti
aktsionäridele välja 12. aprillil. LHV Groupi kapitaliseeritus on ajaloo
kõrgeimal 22,2% tasemel. Investorsuhtluse suurepärasest tasemest annab tunnistus
parimate investorsuhete auhinna omistamine LHV Groupile Nasdaq Baltic börside
poolt.

LHV Groupi juhatuse esimehe Madis Toomsalu kommentaar:
"Kiiresti muutuv ärikeskkond eeldab pankadelt kohanemist. Tulude kasvule
vastukaaluks tuleb silmas pidada peamiste riskide muutusi ning nende head
juhtimist. LHV jaoks oli tegemist tugeva kvartaliga. Intressimäärade kasv koos
kvaliteetse laenuportfelliga viis LHV Groupi kapitaliseerituse ajaloo kõrgeimale
tasemele. Esimese kvartali laenumahtude langus oli tingitud eelmise aasta lõpu
konservatiivsest vaatest majandusele ning kapitalile. Kapitaliseerituse kasvu
toel ootame edasiselt laenumahtude kasvu nii Eestis kui Ühendkuningriigis. Oleme
ootamas ka Ühendkuningriigi järelevalvelt otsust pangalitsentsi osas,
vahepealsed pankade kasvanud riskidega seotud maailma uudised tähendasid meile
lisaküsimustele vastamist ning täiendavat ajakulu."

For LHV, the beginning of the financial year of 2023 was characterised by an
increase in interest income, but also by perceptible anxiety in economy.
Although the aggregated loan and deposit volume remained on the same level with
the previous quarter, the company foresees continuous growth in the future.
During the quarter, LHV UK Limited started the issuing of loans in the United
Kingdom.

The number of LHV Pank clients increased by 13,100 (+3%) in three months. In a
year, the number of bank clients has risen by 53,000 (+16%). Also, the activity
of clients is increasing. While we can notice a resurgence in loan demand after
the depression at the beginning of the year, repayment of two larger loans still
meant a shrinkage on the aggregated portfolio level. The loan portfolio quality
is good, the share of overdue loans continues to be low, however we can see some
increase in debts of consumer loans.

Over the quarter, the clients' interest in term deposits grew. Several deposit
rate hikes against the background of changes in the interest rate environment
contributed to this.

At the beginning of the year, a new investment banking team joined the bank. The
number of investing retail clients is still increasing - in January, the number
of the popular Growth Account exceeded the 50,000 threshold.

Surveys conducted during the quarter demonstrate the high level of LHV's service
and the offered customer experience. In its banking sector service research, the
survey company Dive has named LHV the bank with the best customer service in
Estonia. In the net promoter score surveys, conducted by Kantar Emor and Rait
Faktum Ariko, LHV achieved the best result among banks. Also, LHV Pank was
elected the Dream Employer of Business Sector in February and CV-Online declared
LHV the Top Employer in March. Both LHV Tartu as well as Pärnu branch were
awarded the European Green Office certification in March.

LHV UK Limited started issuing loans in the United Kingdom and is making
preparations for the transfer of business to the new bank. As of now, nearly 50
employees have moved from AS LHV Pank to the subsidiary in the United Kingdom.
In March, sharing of the banking services' business income with LHV UK Limited
started as well.

For LHV Varahaldus, Q1 of 2023 was effective against a backdrop of stock market
volatility. In addition to the rate of return, the volume of managed II pillar
pension funds increased due to the compensation of II pillar contributions by
the state in the meantime together with the average rate of return in January.
The quarterly rate of return of the largest actively managed LHV pension funds
M, L, and XL was 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.3%, respectively. The unit values of pension
funds Indeks and Roheline increased 4.3% and 5.0%, during the quarter. The
profitability of Varahaldus in Q1 was affected by the income tax expense of EUR
0.5 million due to dividend payment.

LHV Kindlustus continued to increase business volumes and efficiency by all
product lines. The collected premiums increased by 17% in Q1 and outperform the
financial plan. As at the end of the quarter, the clients had 220 thousand valid
insurance contracts. During the quarter, 13,800 new insurance contracts were
concluded and 3735 loss events handled. Customer satisfaction with claims
handling remains at a high level.

At the General Meeting, held in March, the Group decided to pay revenue from
ownership for the previous financial year. Dividends of 4 cents per share were
paid out to the shareholders on 12 April. The capitalisation of LHV Group is at
the highest level in history (22.2%). The excellent level of investor relations
is evidenced by the award of the best investor relations granted to LHV Group by
the Nasdaq Baltic Stock Exchanges.

Comment by Madis Toomsalu, Chairman of the Management Board at LHV Group:
"The rapidly changing business environment requires the banks to adapt. Against
the increased income, changes in the main risks and their good management must
be borne in mind. For LHV, it was a strong quarter. The rise in interest rates
together with a high-quality loan portfolio took the Group's capitalisation to
the highest level in history. The decrease in the loan volumes in Q1 was caused
by the conservative view on economy and capital at the end of the last year. On
the back of capitalisation growth, we expect further growth in lending volumes
in both Estonia and the United Kingdom. We are also waiting for the decision of
the supervision authorities of the United Kingdom on the banking licence. The
global news concerning the increased risks of banks in the meantime meant
answering additional questions by us and extra time."
