Hanno venduto il Ptf Pigs da 1,9 a 0,6 ,cmq senza operazioni straordinarie sarebbero in Utile di 700 milioni
Oltretutto hanno problemi in Ungheria dove lo stato stà imponendo il non pagaemnto dei debiti per un 25%
Based on the above, Erste Group is set to report a net loss of about EUR 920-970 million in 1-9 2011. Adjusted for extraordinary charges (excluding the banking taxes in Austria and Hungary) Erste Group expects to post a net profit of about EUR 700 million in 1-9 2011. Due to the continued strong underlying operating profitability, Erste Group’s core tier 1 ratio (total risk) at year-end 2010 of 9.2% is expected to be unchanged at year-end 2011.
In response to the significantly deteriorated outlook for the euro zone economies and as a precautionary measure Erste Group will postpone the early repayment of the state portion of the participation capital (EUR 1.2 billion) by at least one year.
The management board of Erste Group will propose to the AGM not to pay a dividend for FY 2011 but to continue servicing participation capital.
Cè anche da dire che avrebbero potuto cmq ripagare lo stato ma hanno preferito preservare la liquidità
Update on participation capital repayment
The regulatory capital impact of the above measures is confined to about EUR 760 million or 50 basis points and is more than offset by the bank’s underlying profitability. Erste Group could therefore repay the government portion of the participation capital (EUR 1.2 billion) early, as planned. Resurfacing uncertainties about the global economic outlook and the lack of any resolution of global sovereign debt issues, has led Erste Group’s management board to review this plan and postpone the early repayment of the state participation capital (EUR 1.2 billion) by at least one year.
Outlook
Erste Group will take all the above charges in its 1-9 2011 financial statements, due to be published on 28 October 2011; in addition, Erste Group will provide a full set of restated figures for 2010 and the first half of 2011 on the same date. As a result of the above measures Erste Group is expected to post a net loss of about EUR 700-800 million in 2011 (before extraordinary charges a net profit of about EUR 850-950 million). Risk costs on group level are expected to amount to EUR 2.3 billion (before extraordinary charges: EUR 1.8 billion) in 2011. Erste Group’s operating profit will remain a pillar of strength in 2011 and is expected to fully offset the negative impact on regulatory capital from the above extraordinary charges. Accordingly, the core tier 1 ratio (total risk) at
about 9.2% is expected to remain unchanged versus year-end 2010. In 2012 and beyond Erste Group’s operating performance will be the main engine of renewed internal capital generation.
Erste Group's management board is of the firm belief that by aligning Erste Bank Hungary’s business model with those employed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, by extending its shareholding in BCR and by continuing the process of CDS disposals Erste Group's franchise will strengthen materially in the short, medium and long term, irrespective of the prevailing economic environment.
