First quarter of 2024 | 2 |
1. Summary
Net interest income
Net interest income followed a positive trend, reaching 1,231 million euros as at the end of March 2024, representing year- on-year growth of 11.9%, mainly due to a higher credit yield and improved revenue from the fixed-income portfolio, underpinned by higher interest rates, all of which served to offset higher costs of both deposits and wholesale funding as well as lower volumes.
In the quarter, net interest income increased by 1.7%, driven by a higher customer margin, where credit yield growth was underpinned by portfolio repricing, while the cost of deposits grew at a slower pace.
Net fees and commissions
Net fees and commissions amounted to 340 million euros as at the end of March 2024, representing a year-on-year reduction of -3.1%, mainly due to reduced service fees, particularly sight account fees, as well as reduced asset management fees.
In the quarter, they showed slight growth of 0.2%, mainly due to greater asset management fees in spite of positive seasonality in the previous quarter.

Total costs
Total costs came to 751 million euros as at the end of March 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 2.9%, due to both higher staff expenses and higher general expenses, where particular note should be taken of marketing and IT expenses, which offset the reduction of amortisations/depreciations.
Quarter-on-quarter, total costs showed a reduction of -4.2%, as the previous quarter was impacted by non-recurrent restructuring costs at TSB. Excluding this impact, recurrent costs remained in line with the previous quarter.
Net profit of the Group
As at the end of March 2024, the Group's net profit amounted to 308 million euros, representing year-on-year growth of 50.4%, with profit ex-TSB amounting to 263 million euros, impacted by the -192 million euro payment corresponding to the banking tax in Spain, while 46 million euros correspond to TSB. This level of profit pushed the Group's ROTE up to 12.2%.
Core results (net interest income + fees and commissions - recurrent costs) grew by 13.8% year-on-year and by 2.6% in the quarter, driven by the increase of net interest income.

First quarter of 2024 | 3 |
Performing loans
Performing loans decline by -1.2%year-on-year, where it is particularly worth mentioning the reduction of mortgage lending and reduced volumes of SMEs and corporates, affected by the higher interest rate environment.
In quarter-on-quarter terms, lending grew by 0.7%, driven by currencies appreciation, as considering a constant exchange rate it remained at similar levels to the previous quarter, with a slight increase in loans granted to corporates.
Customer funds
Customer funds increased by 0.9% year-on-year, positively impacted by the currency exchange rate. Assuming a constant exchange rate, they increased slightly, flowing through from sight accounts to off-balance sheet funds, mainly mutual funds, and towards term deposits.
In the quarter, they followed a positive trend, recording growth of both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet customer funds, notably mutual funds, due both to greater returns and to a positive level of net inflows.
Non-performing assets (NPAs)
The balance of NPAs has been reduced by 351 million euros over the past twelve months, the reduction in the first quarter of 2024 being 92 million euros, while the coverage ratio considering total provisions rose to 55.8%.
The Group's stage 3 ratio improved to 3.5%, while the stage 3 coverage ratio considering total provisions and the stage 3 coverage ratio increased to 58.5% and 42.5%, respectively.
The gross NPA ratio was 4.0%, while the net NPA ratio stood at 1.8% considering total provisions.
The Group's credit cost of risk improved by 2bps in the quarter, standing at 41bps, while the total cost of risk fell by 5bps to stand at 50bps as at the end of March 2024.

3. Performance review
Macroeconomic environment
Global economic, political and financial context
In Q1 2024, the economy continued to show resilience in the United States and fragility in the Eurozone, although there were some signs of improvement. In the United States, some indicators pointed towards a slight slowdown following the rapid growth recorded in Q4 2023 (3.2% QoQ, annualised). In any event, the Conference Board's leading indicator stopped pointing towards an upcoming economic recession for the first time since July 2022. On the other hand, the Houses reached an agreement to avoid a government shutdown in March.
In the Eurozone, meanwhile, GDP became stagnant in Q4 2023 and growth in the region as a whole in 2023 was subdued (0.4%). In Q1 2024, economic sentiment indicators pointed towards a slight improvement in economic activity, although it remained fragile. In terms of countries, those in the periphery stood out in a positive light, supported by the surge of tourism, the reduced exposure to Russian gas and the disbursement of NGEU funds. Germany stood out in a negative light. The job market in the Eurozone continued to show considerable resilience, despite fragile economic activity. The unemployment rate remained at record-low levels (6.5%).
As for prices, there were surprises to the upside in some of the figures recorded during the first quarter, particularly in the United States, and there was heightened concern surrounding the high level of inertia shown by services inflation. In any event, in the Eurozone, inflation eased off, standing at 2.4% in March, close to the ECB's target (2.0%). Services inflation remained at 4.0%. In the United States, headline inflation rose to 3.5% in March, while core inflation stood at 3.8%.
Lastly, geopolitics continued to attract attention. The conflict in the Middle East continued to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea, diverting vessels around Africa, with the ensuing rise in costs. In addition, Europe remained focused on building up its defence strategy to be ready for any negative developments in relation to Russia. As for trade tensions, strategies for de-risking from China continued to gain traction, which is a noteworthy development, particularly given that this is an electoral year in the United States. On that topic, Biden and Trump were confirmed as candidates for the US presidential elections, which will be held in November. Trump threatened to introduce a tariff of 60% on all products from China and of 10% on imports from all other countries.
Economic situation in Spain
Economic activity remained positive and Q1 2024 data pointed towards potentially stronger economic momentum than in Q4 2023, when GDP recorded quarterly growth of 0.6%. Business confidence indicators improved, and here it is particularly worth mentioning the recovery of the manufacturing industry, which returned to expansionary territory for the first time since March 2023, in a context in which industrial output also improved during the quarter. There was also an upswing in job creation, while indicators
such as international tourist arrivals continued to be positive. In terms of prices, inflation barely slowed in the quarter and reached 3.3% in March (Feb: 2.9%), largely influenced by the recovery of VAT on electricity and the increased contribution of tourist services.
In terms of economic policy, the government announced that it would be mobilising 40,000 million euros in connection with the Recovery Plan addendum. These funds will be channelled by the ICO through a number of financial instruments, including brokered loans with financial institutions, direct loans, and equity investments in certain companies.
Economic situation in the United Kingdom
The UK economy showed signs of recovery in Q1 2024. After declining in Q4 2023, preliminary data pointed towards recovery in Q1 2024, reversing the trend followed in the second half of 2023. Confidence indicators improved, both in the services sector and in the manufacturing industry, while household consumption started the year strong. In the political arena, elections are expected to be called towards the end of the year, while the government announced a mildly expansionary budget for the tax year.
As for inflation, prices corrected considerably but are still above the 2% target. Core inflation slowed to 4.5% in February, while headline inflation was 3.4%. The moderation of energy and food prices drove this momentum.
In the job market, the unemployment rate stood at 3.9% in January and job vacancies continued to return to normal levels. In terms of salaries, the most recent data suggest that the pressure is easing.
In the real estate market, prices continued to rise in the first quarter of 2024. There was also an improvement in the volume of approved mortgages for house purchase, in keeping with the reduction of market interest rates. Even so, transaction levels remained below the historical average.
Economic situation in Mexico
Growth momentum eased off after performing well throughout 2023. In any event, investment continued to grow at a high pace, driven by expenditure on public works towards the end of López Obrador's term in office and by the positive effects of nearshoring. As for inflation, core inflation continued to drop, although the services component showed considerable inertia and remained at particularly high levels. Against this backdrop, Banxico began its cycle of interest rate cuts, announcing a first cut of 25bps to 11.00%. In any event, it remained firm in its data-dependent stance, implying that it will not necessarily introduce further rate cuts in each of its meetings. In the currency market, the peso rallied against the US dollar, reaching its strongest level since 2015.
Fixed-income markets
During the last quarter, the ECB kept its deposit facility rate at 4.00% (an all-time high). The majority of the central bank's members suggested that the first interest rate cut
First quarter of 2024 | 6 |
could take place in June. The ECB also unveiled its operational framework review. The minimum reserve requirement will remain at 1% and the interest rate corridor will be narrowed to reduce the stigma around financing operations and to attempt to revitalise the interbank market. The ECB will also provide liquidity to credit institutions through short- and long-term credit operations and through the purchase of bonds.
The Federal Reserve kept US rates unchanged in the range of 5.25-5.50% during the quarter. In its March meeting, it was considered that interest rates could be cut even though inflation was somewhat higher than anticipated. Members of the Fed continued to forecast cuts of 75bps throughout 2024, which would leave rates at 4.50%-4.75% at the end of the year. However, the long-term rate was revised upwards to 2.6% (from 2.5% previously). Similarly, in subsequent statements, members of the Fed reiterated that a restrictive monetary policy is necessary to reach the inflation target and the majority believe that a cautious approach is needed.
The BoE kept its base rate at 5.25% in its March meeting, citing the improvement of prices as well as the deterioration of activity, although it still showed concern over wage growth. The central bank judged that monetary policy will need to remain restrictive for sufficiently long to return inflation to the 2% target sustainably, although it emphasised that monetary policy will remain tight, even if the base rate is reduced, this being the first time the possibility of rate cuts had been mentioned.
Long-term government bond yields rebounded on both sides of the Atlantic after the decline observed in the previous quarter. This increase was influenced by the rebound of oil prices and by the fact that financial markets adjusted their expectations, delaying the interest rate cuts by the Fed and the ECB, in a context in which inflation data surprised to the upside and in which the US continued to show a resilient economy.
Risk premiums in the periphery performed well and spreads in Italy and Spain fell to their lowest since 2022, against a backdrop of high demand for government bonds in the primary market given the scenario of interest rate cuts. This good performance took place despite public deficit surprising to the downside in Italy, reaching 7.2% of GDP in 2023, due to intensive use of tax incentives for green home renovations (superbonus).
Concerns around US regional banks and other banks with commercial real estate exposures resurfaced but the markets remained unscathed.
Equity markets
Equity indices in the main developed economies performed well throughout the quarter, underpinned by a scenario of official interest rate cuts introduced by central banks and in the face of a resilient economy in the US. The S&P 500, for instance, gained 12.9% in euros (10.2% in dollars). Good performance was also seen in Europe, with the Euro Stoxx 50 increasing by 12.4% in euros. Italy did particularly well, as its main stock market index rebounded by 14.5%. In the United Kingdom, equity indices also rebounded, although less sharply than in the Eurozone and the United States.

Income statement
Summary of results:
Banco Sabadell Group earned profit of 308 million euros as at the end of March 2024, representing year-on-year growth of 50.4%, of which 263 million euros were recorded ex-TSB and 46 million euros correspond to TSB. The Group's ROTE increased by 462bps compared to the end of the first quarter of the previous year, reaching 12.2%.
It is worth noting that the first quarter of the year was negatively impacted by the recognition of the banking tax, which amounted to -192 million euros.
This Group profit was mainly driven by the good performance of core results (net interest income + fees and

- Calculation taking into account recurrent costs.
Net interest income:
Net interest income amounted to 1,231 million euros as at the end of March 2024, growing by 11.9% year-on-year and by 1.7% in the quarter.
The year-on-year growth was mainly driven by higher loan yields and higher earnings on the fixed-income portfolio, underpinned by higher interest rates, all of which offset the higher costs of both deposits and wholesale funding, as well as reduced volumes. In the quarter, net interest income was driven by a higher customer margin, where credit yield growth was underpinned by portfolio repricing, while the cost of funds grew at a slower pace.

Similarly, the net interest margin as a percentage of average total assets rose by 29bps in the year and by 7bps in the quarter, reaching 2.08%.
