IKB Deutsche Industriebank: Figures for the first half of the financial year 2015/16

- Positive consolidated net income



- CET 1 ratio increased further

- Leverage ratio at high level

- Administrative expenses reduced

[Düsseldorf, 30 November 2015] IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG generated consolidated net income of EUR 23 million in the first six months of the financial year 2015/16 (1 April to 30 September 2015). The CET 1 ratio increased to 11.3% as at 30 September 2015. The leverage ratio amounted to 8.9%, while the liquidity coverage ratio was 335%.

The consolidated income statement for the first half of 2015/16 is as follows:

Some totals may be subject to discrepancies due to rounding differences.

Net interest and lease income in the Group amounted to EUR 142 million in the period under review (first half of 2014/15: EUR 131 million). The increase was largely due to lower refinancing costs. Despite intense competition, the Group's new business volume increased by EUR 0.5 billion year-on-year to EUR 1.8 billion in the first half of the financial year 2015/16. In its lending activity, IKB is maintaining its standards in respect to appropriate conditions and acceptable risks.

The Group recorded net fee and commission income of EUR 14 million (EUR 17 million). This development was primarily attributable to the fact that, unlike in the comparative prior-year period, structuring and syndication income was increasingly reported in net interest income rather than in net fee and commission income in the first half of the financial year 2015/16.

Administrative expenses in the Group declined to EUR 143 million in the period under review (EUR 154 million). The prior-year figure included a higher level of audit and consulting expenses for the ECB comprehensive assessment. In addition, expenses for IT and project consulting were reduced and deposit protection expenses decreased as against the previous year.

Net other income fell to EUR -8 million (EUR 117 million). The main reason for this development: The measurement and sale of long-term investments and close-out payments in connection with the strategic early dissolution of derivative transactions in the banking book resulted in reduced net income of EUR 26 million (EUR 92 million).

Net risk provisioning improved to EUR +14 million compared with the first half of the financial year 2014/15 (EUR -24 million). IKB sees the development of credit risk as a sign of the extremely positive sentiment among German companies at present.

Net tax income amounted to EUR 4 million in the period under review after tax expenses of EUR 16 million in the same period of the previous year.

The Group's total assets amounted to EUR 20.7 billion at the reporting date (31 March 2015: EUR 22.4 billion). The CET 1 ratio amounted to 11.3% (10.9%), meaning that IKB exceeded the statutory minimum requirement (CRR) of 4.5% for the CET 1 ratio. Applying the Basel III provisions in full results in a "fully loaded" CET 1 ratio of 10.3% as at 30 September 2015 (10.0%).

Applying the transitional provisions for 2014, the leverage ratio of the IKB Group in accordance with Article 429 CRR amounted to 8.9% as at 30 September 2015 (8.5%), thereby exceeding the frequently cited benchmark of 3.0%. The liquidity coverage ratio amounted to 335% as at 30 September 2015 (273%). A minimum requirement of 60% has been in place since 1 October 2015.

The possibility that future EBA/ECB standards and interpretations or other supervisory actions could lead to a retrospective change in the regulatory ratios cannot be ruled out.

Outlook

IKB generated positive earnings in the first six months of the current financial year. On this basis, it expects to generate positive net income after taxes and before additions to the fund for general banking risks (section 340g HGB) for the financial year 2015/16 as a whole as planned. This net income is expected to be slightly higher than in the financial year 2014/15. Should profits be accumulated by IKB AG, IKB intends to transfer them to the fund for general banking risks in accordance with section 340g HGB as at the end of the financial year.

Servicing the compensation agreements of a total amount of EUR 1,151.5 million and the value recovery rights of the hybrid investors mean that IKB AG will probably not report any, or only minimal, profit for a long time to come, even if results are positive. In addition, to the extent that net income can be reported in future, the reduction of net accumulated losses means that it will not be possible to distribute a dividend to the shareholders of IKB AG.
