Madrid, 27/04/2015. Bankia posted net attributable profit of 244 million euros in the first quarter of 2015, 12.8% higher than in the same period of 2014. The rise comes off the back of a 7.2% increase in operating income before provisions and a decrease in NPL provisions, offsetting a period of low interest rates.

Bankia's chairman, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, declared: "These are positive results, putting Bankia in a great position to achieve a return on equity of 10% by the end of the year. The bank is holding up well in what is a challenging

interest rate climate and has been able to consistently boost earnings, stripping out non-recurring profit".
"Bankia has demonstrated its strengths and customer focus in the banking business at the start of the year. We have increased loans to the self-employed and SMEs by 70%. We have brought in more customer funds and won market share in the institution's key segments," added the Bankia chairman.
Bankia's CEO, José Sevilla, highlighted the robustness of the bank's balance sheet. "For yet another quarter, Bankia has shown its ability to bolster solvency, which is essential to be able to repay the aid received."
Sevilla went on to say: "Bankia has managed to slash the NPL balance during the quarter, which has fallen by over 3 billion euros in the last year. This reduction is accompanied by an increase in provision coverage for loans remaining on the balance sheet, without an increase in foreclosed assets."

Greater flow of credit

One of the most noteworthy milestones in the first quarter is the increase in lending in the institution's key segments: business loans and consumer loans to households. Quarter-on-quarter growth was close to 900 million euros, hitting
47.3 billion euros as new loans outstripped repayments.
This increase was driven by the sharp rise in new loans, up 69.2% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Stripping out loan modifications, Bankia awarded new loans to the self-employed, SMEs and businesses totalling 3.22 billion euros in the first three months of the year (up
74.7%), with a 17.3% rise in consumer loans to 230 million euros.
Turning to customer funds, strict customer deposits rose over the quarter by
1.13 billion euros to 96.05 billion euros, with a 5.3 billion year-on-year increase. Off-balance sheet funds also grew by a further 1.39 billion euros over the three months to 22.43 billion euros.
The increase in new retail customer funds has led to year-on-year gains in market share in both the business and household term deposit segment, which rose almost a percentage point from 9.58% in March 2014 to 10.57% (latest available figure at February 2015), and in the investment fund segment which

saw an increase from 4.85% to 5.09% (figures at March 2014 and 2015, respectively).
These figures come off the back of a rise in productivity. In the first quarter of
2014, each Bankia employee sold a total of 22.3 products per month on average. A year later, this figure had risen 37.7% to 30.7 products per employee every month.

NPLs down, coverage up

Bankia kicked off 2015 enhancing the quality of its loan book. The balance of NPLs fell a further 462 million euros quarter on quarter to 16.05 billion euros. The decrease over the last 12 months has totalled 3.13 billion euros. Consequently, the NPL ratio fell to 12.62%, compared to 12.86% in December and 14.31% a year ago.
The reduction in NPLs is accompanied by a decrease in assets foreclosed during the quarter and a higher NPL coverage ratio of 59.4% at March end, versus 57.6% in December and 57.4% in the first quarter of 2014.

Increase in earnings

The uptick in the bank's activity and controls over NPLs led to an improved income statement, despite the challenging climate for the banking business with interest rates close to zero and a decrease in Sareb bond yields.
Net interest income remained practically unchanged year on year at 693 million euros, down 0.6%. Stripping out the "Sareb effect" (the bonds of which only contributed 45 million euros this quarter compared to 99 million euros a year ago), net interest income would have risen by 8.2%. Controls over funding costs drove up the customer margin from 1.12% to 1.40% year on year.
Fee and commission income rose slightly during the first quarter to 233 million euros (+0.8%), primarily due to an upturn in sales of insurance and investment funds.
Gains on financial assets and liabilities and other operating income totalled 59 million euros, boosting gross income by 2% to 992 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2014.

A more efficient bank

Despite having completed the restructuring plan, Bankia continued its cost cutting drive. Total expenses in the first quarter of the year were 423 million euros, down 4.2% on the figure a year earlier. The efficiency ratio stood at
42.6% at the close of the quarter, some 2.8 points higher than at the same date in 2014.
Consequently, operating income before provisions for the period from January to March amounted to 569 million euros, representing a rise of 7.2% versus the first quarter of 2014. The aforementioned improvement in the NPL balance allowed Bankia to cut provisioning by 27.7% to 219 million euros.
Consequently, pre-tax profit hit 336 million euros. Stripping out the tax effect and contributions of non-controlling interests, net attributable profit for the first quarter amounted to 244 million euros, up 12.8% year on year.

Further shoring up of solvency

In terms of solvency, Bankia once again boosted its capital ratios in the first quarter of the year. As regards solvency ratios, under Basel III standards, the phase-in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio ended March at 12.52% (24 basis points higher than in December). The total capital ratio climbed 26 basis points to 14.08%.
On a 'fully loaded' Basel III basis, that is, moving future requirements up to the present date, the CET1 ratio rose from 10.6% to 11.01%, while the total capital ratio was 12.56% - an advance of 42 basis points.
On the liquidity side, Bankia continued to strengthen its position for yet another quarter, cutting its commercial gap by a further 1.4 billion euros (to 12.3 billion euros). The loan-to-deposit ratio was also cut from 105.5% in December to
104.6% in March.
Over the course of the last 12 months, the bank cut wholesale maturities by close to 7 billion euros to 24 billion euros, driving up liquid assets to 34.6 billion euros (+7.6 billion euros), resulting in a coverage ratio of 144%.

Bankia's parent, the BFA Group, posted first quarter net profit of 919 million euros. The group had already announced plans to sell off BFA's public debt portfolios and tap unrealised gains. Stripping this out, net profit would have been 285 million euros compared to 279 million euros in the first quarter of
2014.
In terms of solvency, BFA saw its December 2014 phase-in CET1 ratio of
13.28% climb to 13.89% at the end of the first quarter of 2015, i.e. an improvement of 61 basis points. The total solvency ratio rose by 65 points to
15.44%. The fully-loaded CET1 ratio was 108 basis points higher for the quarter
at 11.43%.
