Dublin/Frankfurt, 2 May 2007.
DEPFA BANK plc released its first quarter 2007 results today. Net profit totalled € 123 m (-8% compared to Q1 2006). Net interest income stood at € 101 m (y-o-y down 6%) while net fee and commission income rose by 20% to € 6 m. Net trading income totalled € 12 m, gains from sale of assets were up by 47.1% to € 103 m and operating expenses rose y-o-y by 15.5% to € 67 m. Despite a y-o-y staff increase of 26% the cost/income ratio remained at a moderate level of 30.2%. Profit before taxation amounted to € 155 m. The operating performance remained sound in the light of an accelerated level of investments in client activities; the combined pre-tax result of Budget Finance, Infrastructure Finance and Client Product Services was up 12% y-o-y to € 173 m. DEPFA BANK is confident that it is on track in its plans to create a dynamic earnings base from its client business but adequate time must be allowed for factors such as consistently rising gains in competitiveness and the healthy transaction pipeline in client derivatives to feed through fully into its results. The ongoing investments in business capacity will underpin DEPFA´s transformation into a full service provider for the financial needs of the public sector worldwide.
