Statement of the CEO, Paulus de Wilt
" D uring the first half of 2023, we have finalised our
transition into an entrepreneurial asset-based financier, fully
focusing on mortgages, asset-based finance in CRE, Infrastructure
and Shipping and platform financing with Beequip and yesqar.
Supported by our new brand positioning, we are looking forward to
new opportunities to enable our clients to realise their ambitions
through providing financing solutions for their assets.
In an economic environment that is still characterised by
uncertainty, we are proud to report a strong performance. All core
segments report continued growth of the portfolio, and we
successfully reached agreement to sell both our CLO platform and
our equity investment activities, further reducing non-core
exposures and de-risking the balance sheet. This allows us to focus
on our core activities and further explore the growth potential for
these activities.
Against this backdrop, NIBC reports a strong first half year
result. Driven by both an increase in operating income and lower
operating expenses, net profit increased to EUR 103 million
(including a non-recurring gain of EUR 7 million net of tax).
Operating income benefitted from the continued improvement of our
net interest margin, supported by improved margins on liabilities
and increased volumes in core portfolios. Despite continuing
inflation, we have been able to effectively reduce operating
expenses, leading to a cost/income ratio of 44%, within the
targeted range. Cost of risk remained relatively stable.
I am also pleased to report that these developments have led to
positive rating actions, as Moody's recently published its decision
to upgrade NIBC's long-term deposit and senior unsecured debt
ratings to A3 and Fitch has improved its outlook for NIBC's debt
rating to positive, with affirmation of the BBB+ rating.
We continue to invest in improving the bank's ability to work
together with its clients to address ESG opportunities and
challenges, whether it is via product development to help finance
the energy transition or via efficient information sharing to meet
increasing reporting requirements.
Being able to both complete the transformation into a focused
asset-based financier and report strong results in the current
challenging macro-economic environment makes me proud of our
organisation and grateful for the commitment and dedication of our
people to translate our entrepreneurial spirit into daily action,
ensuring that we continue to support our clients to realise their
ambitions."
