Notes to Editors:
About GE Money Bank
The Group has two primary segments, retail and commercial. The divisions are differentiated by their product and service offerings, and customers are serviced by each division based on which of the Group’s products and services they utilise.
Total operating income and profit before tax for the retail division were CZK 8,595 million and CZK 4,128 million respectively for the year ended 31 December 2015. The retail division served approximately 1,068,000 customers and comprised CZK 53.7 billion net receivables in total as at 31 December 2015, representing 49.5 per cent. of the Group’s total net receivables. The key products in the retail division are as follows:
- Deposit products: current accounts, savings accounts, term deposits and transactional banking products including payment services and debit cards;
- Lending products: consumer loans, credit cards, overdrafts, mortgages and auto loans;
- Leasing products: auto leases; and
- Other complementary products such as bancassurance and sales of investment funds.
Total operating income and profit before tax for the commercial division were CZK 3,083 million and CZK 1,320 million respectively for the year ended 31 December 2015. The commercial division served approximately 69,000 active customers and comprised CZK 54.7 billion net receivables in total as at 31 December 2015, representing 50.5 per cent. of the Group’s total net receivables. The key products in the commercial division are as follows:
- Deposit products: current accounts, savings accounts and term deposits;
- Lending products: investment loans, operating financing loans and leasing products; and
- Other complementary products such as domestic and foreign payments, insurance, treasury and trade finance products.
The Group’s total net receivables amounted to CZK 108 billion as at 31 December 2015. The Group generated profit after tax of CZK 4,506 million in the year ended 31 December 2015.
As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s CET1 ratio, calculated in accordance with CRD IV, was 17.7 per cent, before the Company paid a dividend of CZK 4.506 billion (including withholding tax) to the Selling Shareholder out of prior years’ retained earnings on 13 April 2016. This dividend comprised the Group’s full profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2015 and therefore the dividend changed neither the regulatory capital nor the CET1 ratio of the Group.
Strategy
- The Group’s strategy is to continue to focus on maintaining and further developing its retail banking franchise while also significantly growing its presence within the SME commercial segment.
- The Group intends to continue gradually shifting the overall business mix, targeting diversification of revenue streams and building recognition as a leading small business bank in the Czech Republic.
- The Group intends to strengthen its retail banking franchise through continued focus on successful pricing, origination and risk management in support of unsecured lending, and further through the redevelopment of its mortgage based finance offering.
- The Group intends to further capitalise on cross selling opportunities and to deepen relationships with medium sized commercial customers, leveraging its position within the agricultural sector of the Czech economy and the opportunities for cross-selling with its commercial leasing operation.
- The Group intends to significantly increase its efforts to leverage its existing client base, product and service offering and convert these capabilities into organic growth.
