BC, Tallinn, 20.04.2015.Print version
LHV Group earned in the first quarter of the year 2015 a net profit of 5.1 million euros, of which the bank earned 3.8 million, asset management 1.3 million and Lithuanian unit 0.2 million euros, Äripäev.ee/LETA reports.

In the first quarter, the LHV Group earned from ongoing activities a total of 9 million euros in consolidated net income, or 9% more than in the previous quarter. Expenses were 1% higher than in the previous quarter, or 5.4 million euros. Loan write-downs of EUR 0.7 million were made.

 

The group's first quarter return on equity was 34% on an annual basis. LHV Group Manager Erkki Raasuke said that the exponential growth of profits was caused by the sale of the Finnish business in early January. This is one-off revenue, which should be taken into account when comparing results.

 

A year ago, in the first quarter, LHV Group net profit was 1.7 million euros.

 

LHV Group deposits increased by 7% in the first quarter of this year to 489 million euros, and the volume of loans by 3% to 327 million euros. Investment fund assets increased by 4% to 525 million euros.
