Statement of the CEO
"Looking back at the first half of 2022, I am pleased to report
a strong performance. Our sharpened business strategy allowed us to
continue to deliver upon our promises, despite the increasing
global political and economic uncertainty. The war in Ukraine has
impacted the global economy in various ways. Delays in the global
supply chain, tight labour markets, shortages in commodities and
spiking energy prices have led to new challenges for governments,
monetary authorities, businesses and households. Based on these
changes in economic outlook, markets have reset long-term interest
rate levels and monetary authorities have changed their policy
stance to curb the rapidly increasing inflation, bringing
short-term interest rates back into positive territory.
In this challenging environment, we continued to be an
entrepreneurial financing partner to our clients, illustrated by
strong growth of our core portfolios. Over the first half of 2022,
we saw our mortgage loan portfolio grow with 9% to EUR 24 billion.
Our continued investment in client service is being recognised:
both NIBC Direct and Lot Hypotheken have been awarded 'best
mortgage lenders of 2022'. At the same time, we saw an increase of
15% in our Asset-Backed & Specialty Finance segment driven by a
strong origination in all asset classes. Our businesses Beequip,
the largest alternative financier of equipment in the Netherlands,
and yesqar, a financier to the automotive businesses, continued
their strong growth with a year-to-date increase of 23% of the
portfolios. With this basis, we delivered a healthy underlying net
profit of EUR 86 million (2021: EUR 91 million), before a
non-recurring net loss of EUR 22 million related to the sale of two
non-core portfolios, a major step in further de-risking the bank's
balance sheet.
All in all, I'm proud to say that these strong results confirm
that our targeted strategy is paying off. We reinforced our
position providing asset financing to both individuals and
companies ranging from private housing to rental property,
commercial real estate, vessels, infrastructure, cars and
equipment. In line with the execution of our strategy, we have sold
our Offshore Energy and Leveraged Finance portfolios. Going
forward, we are carefully reducing our remaining non-core
portfolios, in active dialogue with our clients.
As sustainability is core to our targeted strategy, we continue
to actively manage our ESG profile. We are well positioned to
contribute to a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive future
for the communities we serve. In the first half of 2022, we have
sold our Offshore Energy portfolio, taking an important step
towards our net-zero ambition by putting our promises in the
Climate Action Plan into practice. Our 'green' mortgage label Lot
Hypotheken was nominated for the SEH Sustainability Award, as one
of the most progressive mortgage lenders to actively incorporate
sustainability into its mortgage policy. In April, our North
Westerly CLO VII was awarded ESG Deal of the Year. Through all
these steps, we continue to align our activities and portfolios
with our overall business strategy, which integrates a balanced ESG
approach.
I look forward to working with Anke Schlichting, who was
appointed Chief Technology Officer and member of the NIBC Managing
Board in July this year, as we believe that in today's tech-driven
world, IT and Operations require a separate position at the most
senior level of the bank. Anke has extensive experience in and
in-depth knowledge of IT and Operations.
I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of our people
towards their work and our clients. The past months have been
demanding for our people as well as our clients. Looking ahead,
economic conditions are likely to remain challenging. Nevertheless,
NIBC is well-positioned to face these challenges and continue the
execution of its business strategy as a focused asset-based
financier. Supported by our 'Think Yes' mentality, the
entrepreneurial spirit of our people and today's results, we are
moving into the second half of 2022 with confidence. We will
continue to be there for our clients, now and in the future."
