Mestre (Venice), 2 August 2019 – The Board of Directors of Banca IFIS met today under the chairmanship of Sebastien Egon Fürstenberg and approved the results for the first half of 2019.

Regarding SMEs, we are now well positioned and competitive. In the NPL business, in the second quarter, we recorded a double-digit increase in cash recoveries on our NPL portfolio of +19% compared to the first quarter (+66% the trend change) for 67 million Euro.

In this first half of 2019, the Banca IFIS Group signed acquisition contracts for 700 million new unsecured NPLs.

At 30 June, the Banca IFIS Group’s portfolio amounted to 16,4 billion Euro nominal amount, plus 6,4 billion Euro in third-party management through the subsidiary FBS for a total amount of 22,8 billion Euro (nominal amount).

In terms of capital requirements, CET1 at the end of June rose to 10,81% (+0,52% on the previous quarter) thanks to profits made in the first six months of the year. The level is well above the 8,12% required by SREP.

With the team, we are already outlining the guidelines of the new Business Plan that we will present this autumn and that will be the result of teamwork”, concluded Colombini.
