    Main metrics from the Balance Sheet:

    • Total credit to the public (gross) increased by 10.9% YoY (1.9% QoQ) to NIS 145.5 billion, due to growth in all targeted segments:
      • Consumer credit grew by 10.6% YoY, 3.0% QoQ

      • SME credit grew by 11.4% YoY, 5.1% QoQ

      • Mortgages grew by 21.7% YoY, 3.0% QoQ

    • Deposits grew by 6.2% YoY (decreased by 0.4% QoQ) to NIS 171.6 billion.
    • Total equity grew by 11.4% YoY (1.7% QoQ) to NIS 15.2 billion, while RWA increased by 7.6% YoY to NIS 155.9 billion. Common equity tier 1 ratio stands at a level of 9.7%.

      Main metrics from the Statement of Income:

    • Despite the low interest rate environment, net interest income for Q1-17 increased by 11.2% YoY to NIS 1,167 m, as a result of a positive quantitative impact of NIS 83 m and a positive price impact of NIS 35 m.

    • Credit loss expenses amounted to NIS 145 m, constituting a quarterly rate of 0.4% of the average balance of credit to the public, compared to NIS 224 m (0.66%) in the previous quarter and NIS 46 m (0.14%) in the corresponding quarter. Q1-17 credit loss expenses were impacted mainly by write-offs.
    • Non-interest income for Q1-17 increased by 16.8% YoY to NIS 913 m and by 8.9% compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to an increase in non-interest financing income. Non-interest financing income increased by 134.4% compared to Q1-16 and by 25.7% compared to Q4-16 to NIS 225 m due to a NIS 75 m income resulted from a realization of investments made by Discount Capital. Commissions increased by 6.7% YoY and by 2.0% QoQ, due to an increase in credit cards, securities and derivatives commissions.
    • Q1-17 total operating & other expenses increased by 1.1% to NIS 1,432 m compared to Q1-16. Excluding a NIS 9 m provision, expenses increased by 0.4%. The provision is due to actuarial changes related to retirement.
Q1-17 total operating & other expenses decreased by 1.8% compared to Q4-16. Adjusted for actuarial changes related to retirement (mainly early retirement) and a reversal of excess provision of NIS 68 m net in Q4-16, adjusted Q1-17 total operating & other expenses increased by 2.4%. The increase is a result of a higher bonus provision for 2017.
