LHV Groupi 2019. aasta IV kvartali ja 12 kuu auditeerimata majandustulemused

Teade

2019. aasta IV kvartalis teenis AS LHV Group konsolideeritult 6,4 miljonit eurot
puhaskasumit: pank teenis 5,7 miljonit eurot puhaskasumit ning varahaldus 0,9
miljonit eurot. LHV Groupi aktsionäridele kuuluva omakapitali tulumaksueelne
tootlus oli neljandas kvartalis 12,8%.

LHV Groupi konsolideeritud puhaskasum oli 2019. aasta IV kvartalis 1,6 miljoni
euro võrra väiksem kui III kvartalis ja 0,3 miljonit eurot väiksem kui samal
perioodil aasta varem. Laenude allahindluseid tehti IV kvartalis 1,5 miljonit
eurot.

LHV Groupi varade maht ületas esmakordselt 3 miljardi euro piiri. Grupi
konsolideeritud laenuportfell kasvas neljandas kvartalis 465 miljoni euro võrra
(+37%; +104 miljonit eurot III kvartalis) 1687 miljoni euroni. Seejuures tulenes
393 miljonit eurot kasvust Danske Eesti eraklientide laenuportfellide
ülevõtmisest. Konsolideeritud hoiused kasvasid aasta viimases kvartalis 166
miljoni euro võrra (+7%; +451 miljonit eurot III kvartalis) 2701 miljoni euroni.
Seejuures kasvasid tavaklientide hoiused 218 miljoni euro võrra, samas kui
maksevahendajatega seotud hoiused vähenesid 43 miljoni euro võrra. LHV poolt
juhitud fondide maht kasvas kvartaliga 46 miljoni euro võrra (+3%; +34 miljonit
eurot III kvartalis), ulatudes 1374 miljoni euroni.

AS-i LHV Group 2019. aasta konsolideeritud puhaskasum oli 27,1 miljonit eurot
ehk 0,1 miljonit eurot vähem kui 2018. aastal (-0%). Pank teenis kasumit 22,1
miljonit eurot, varahaldus 6,1 miljonit eurot. Võrdlust eelmise aastaga
mõjutasid 2018. aastal Leedu äriüksuse müügist saadud ühekordne tulu, samuti
2019. aastal Danske tehinguga seotud kulud ning pensionifondide valitsemistasu
langus. LHV aktsionäridele kuuluva omakapitali tulumaksueelne tootlus 2019.
aastal oli 16,2% ja puhaskasumil põhineva omakapitali tootlus 14,0%. Juulikuist
finantsplaani edestasime 1,5 miljoni euro võrra.

LHV Groupi varade maht kasvas aastaga 1,35 miljardi euro võrra (+81%).
Konsolideeritud laenuportfell kasvas aastaga 768 miljoni euro võrra (+84%) ja
hoiused 1279 miljoni euro võrra (+90%). LHV juhitud fondide maht kasvas aastaga
160 miljoni euro võrra (+13%).

Madis Toomsalu, LHV Groupi juhataja kommentaar tulemustele:
"Lõpetasime 2019. aasta tugeva kvartaliga ja meie äri kasvab. Kvartaliga
suurenes panga klientide arv ligi 13 100 võrra 202 000 kliendini. Lisaks
ärimahtude tugevale kasvule jõudsid rekordini mitmesugused aktiivsuse näitajad,
sh palgalaekumised, varadega klientide ja maksete arv, kaartide kasutamine,
kaardimaksete vastuvõtmine ning uute investeerimislepingute arv.

LHV neljanda kvartali kasumiks kujunes 6,4 miljonit eurot. Kvartali kasumit
mõjutasid negatiivselt Danske eralaenude portfelli soetamisega kaasnenud
allahindlused ning ühekordsed tehingukulud riigilõivude ja notaritasude näol.
Danske portfelliga seotud intressitulud lisandusid novembri viimasest nädalast.
Positiivselt mõjutasid kvartali kasumit institutsionaalse panganduse tulud.

Eduka aasta kokkuvõttes saame tõdeda, et 2019. aastal kasvasid LHV ärimahud pea
kaks korda. Groupi varade maht kasvas 3 miljardi euroni ning meie panga turuosa
on suurenenud kümnendikuni, millega oleme igapäevapanganduses Eesti suuruselt
kolmas pank. Enam kui 41 000 uut pangaklienti, tunnustus parima teeninduse eest
ja LHV valimine Eesti parimaks pangaks mitme maineka majanduasjakirja poolt
tõestavad, et meie pingutusi on märgatud.

Lõppenud aasta olulisimaks sündmuseks oli Danske eraisikute laenuportfelli
ostmine IV kvartalis. Tähtsaid kliente puudutanud tegevusi oli teisigi
sularahaautomaatide võrgustiku laiendamisest kuni oluliste arendusteni LHV
mobiiliäpis. Mobiilirakenduses on tänaseks lisaks kliendiks saamisele võimalik
investeerida väärtpaberitesse, taotleda laenu, sõlmida laenulepinguid ning
tellida pangakaarte.

Ühendkuningriigis olime naelamaksete süsteemidega tehniliselt liitunud küll juba
eelmise aasta keskpaigast, aga sisuliselt saime reaalajas maksed klientidele
avada käesoleva aasta alguses. Juba varem toiminud reaalajas euromaksetega koos
muudab see LHV Connecti üheks finantstehnoloogia ettevõtetele atraktiivseimaks
rakendusliideseks. Aasta lõpuks pakume panganduse infrastruktuuri ja teenuseid
enam kui sajale maksevahendajast kliendile. Teiste hulgas TransferWise,
Coinbase, Paysafe ja Trustly.

LHV pensionifondide maht kasvas aasta lõpuks pea 1,4 miljardi euroni.
Pensionifondide aastat iseloomustasid muudatused regulatsioonides. Septembris
jõustusid madalamad fikseeritud haldustasud, kuid fondide tugeva tootluse korral
on võimalus teenida edukustasu. 2019. aastal me seda ei teeninud, aga meie ootus
investeeringute tootluse osas on kasvanud ning usume edukustasu saavutamist üle
pikaajalise perioodi. Jaanuari lõpus Riigikogu poolt heaks kiidetud
pensionireformi valguses on turuosalised muutmas oma investeerimisstrateegiaid
ja vähendamas ebalikviidsemate Eesti investeeringute tegemist. LHV-s proovime
leida kuldset keskteed, et jätkata kõrgema eeldatava tootlusega Eesti
investeeringute tegemist samas vajalikku likviidsust tagades.

Ärimahtude kasvu möödunud aastal finantseerisime kapitali kaasamiste abil. Kokku
kaasasime aasta jooksul kolme erineva instrumendi kaudu kapitali 65 miljonit
eurot. Investorite usaldust märgib kõikide emissioonide edukas tulemus ja
ülemärkimine. Kindlasti aitasid need tehingud kaasa ka LHV investorite arvu
suurenemisele, aasta lõpu seisuga oli LHVsse investeerinud ligi 7000 aktsionäri
ja 3000 võlakirjainvestorit.

Juulikuist finantsplaani edestasime 1,5 miljoni euro võrra peamiselt
planeeritust madalamate allahindluste, Danske tehinguga seotud madalamate kulude
ning klientide väärtpaberite emissioonide korraldamisega seotud kõrgemate tulude
tõttu."

LHV Group unaudited financial results for Q4 and the 12 months of 2019

Teade

In Q4 2019, AS LHV Group earned a consolidated net profit of EUR 6.4 million:
the bank earned a net profit of EUR 5.7 million and AS LHV Varahaldus earned a
net profit of EUR 0.9 million. The pre-tax rate of return on equity capital
owned by the shareholders of LHV Group was 12.8% in Q4.

The consolidated net profit of LHV Group in Q4 2019 was EUR 1.6 million lower
compared to Q3 and EUR 0.3 million lower compared to the same period a year
earlier. Loan discounts were made in the amount of EUR 1.5 million in Q4.

The volume of LHV Group's assets exceeded the EUR 3 billion threshold for the
first time. In Q4, the Group's consolidated loan portfolio increased by EUR 465
million (+37%; +EUR 104 million in Q3), to EUR 1,687 million. A total of EUR
393 million of that growth was due to the take-over of Danske Banks's Estonian
private client loan portfolio. In Q4, the Group's consolidated deposits
increased by EUR 166 million (+7%; +EUR 451 million in Q3), to EUR 2,701
million. At the same time, deposits by regular clients increased by EUR 218
million, while deposits associated with payment intermediaries decreased by EUR
43 million. The volume of funds managed by LHV increased by EUR 46 million
during the quarter (+3%; +34 million in Q3), to EUR 1,374 billion.

The consolidated net profit of AS LHV Group in 2019 was EUR 27.1 million, i.e.
EUR 0.1 million less than in 2018 (-0%). LHV Pank earned a profit of EUR 22.1
million, and AS LHV Varahaldus earned a profit of EUR 6.1 million. The
comparison with the previous year was affected by the one-off revenue from the
sale of the Lithuanian business unit in 2018, as well as the costs associated
with the Danske transaction in 2019 and the decline in the management fee for
pension funds. In 2019 the pre-tax return on the equity owned by LHV Group
shareholders was 16.2%, while the return on equity based on net profit was
14.0%. We exceeded the financial plan from July by EUR 1.5 million.

The volume of LHV Group's assets grew by EUR 1.35 billion (+81%). The
consolidated loan portfolio of LHV Group increased by EUR 768 million year on
year (+84%) and deposits increased by EUR 1,279 million (+90%). The volume of
the funds managed by LHV grew by EUR 160 million (+13%) year on year.

Comment by Madis Toomsalu, CEO of LHV Group, on the results:
"We ended 2019 with a strong quarter and our business is growing. During Q4, the
number of the bank's clients increased by nearly 13,100, to 202,000 clients. In
addition to the strong growth of business volumes, activity indicators for
several areas reached record levels, including salary receipts, the number of
customers with assets and payments, the use of cards, the acceptance of card
payments and the number of new investment contracts.

LHV earned a profit of EUR 6.4 million in Q4. Profit for the quarter was
negatively impacted by the discounts that accompanied the acquisition of
Danske's private loan portfolio and one-time transaction costs in the form of
state and notary fees. Interest income associated with Danske's portfolio was
added from the last week of November. Profits for the quarter were positively
influenced by income from institutional banking.

In summarising the successful year, we can say that LHV's business volumes
nearly doubled in 2019. The volume of the Group's assets grew to EUR 3 billion
and our bank's market share increased by one-tenth, making us the third largest
bank in Estonia in daily banking. More than 41,000 new bank clients, recognition
of the best service and the selection of LHV as Estonia's best bank by several
prestigious financial magazines, prove that our efforts have been noticed.

The most important event of the past year was the purchasing of Danske's private
client portfolio in Q4. There were other important activities affecting
customers, from the expansion of the ATM network to significant developments in
LHV's mobile app. In addition to becoming a client, you can also invest in
securities, apply for a loan, sign loan agreements and order bank cards via the
mobile app.

In the United Kingdom we technically joined the pound payment system in the
middle of last year, but we were able to open real-time payments to clients in
the beginning of this year. Along with the previously implemented real-time euro
payments, this makes LHV Connect one of the most attractive application
programming interfaces for financial technology companies. By the end of the
year, we were providing banking infrastructure and services to more than 100
clients who are payment intermediaries. Including, among others, TransferWise,
Coinbase, Paysafe, and Trustly.

The volume of LHV's pension funds grew to almost EUR 1.4 billion by the end of
the year. The year for pension funds was characterised by changes to
regulations. In September, lower fixed management fees entered into force,
although in the case of a strong return, it is possible to earn a success fee.
Although we failed to do so in 2019, our expectation regarding the rate of
return for investments has grown and we believe that we will earn the success
fee over the long term. In light of the pension reform approved by the Riigikogu
at the end of January, market participants are changing their investment
strategies and reducing the amount of illiquid investments in Estonia. At LHV,
we are trying to find the middle ground, to continue making Estonian investments
with higher expected returns while ensuring the necessary liquidity.

We financed the growth of business volumes last year by raising capital. In
total, we raised EUR 65 million in capital through three different instruments
over the course of the year. Investor confidence is marked by the successful
performance and oversubscription of all issues. These transactions certainly
contributed to the increase in the number of LHV investors as well, with
approximately 7,000 shareholders and 3,000 bond investors having invested in LHV
as at the end of the year.

We outperformed our July financial plan by EUR 1.5 million, mainly due to lower-
than-planned discounts, lower costs for the Danske transaction, and higher
revenues associated with organising the issuing of clients' securities."
