Annual reports

In the third quarter of 2009, economically necessary credit risk provisions increased again significantly. Despite satisfactory business operations and tangible cost savings, significant losses must be reported.

The Österreichische Volksbanken-AG has just produced its first financial magazine together with the German financial journal FINANCE. The publication provides an insight into the repositioning of the Volksbank Group and offers an overview of the Group’s services in the Retail, Leasing, Corporates, Financial Markets and Real Estate segments. Best-practice knowledge from Investkredit, the Bank for Corporates and Real Estate, makes the transactions transparent and offers solutions to financing issues.

Earnings for this quarter were affected by an in-crease in impairments. As the crisis spilled over into the real economy, indications became clearer during the quarter of a need to make much greater allowance.

Die Österreichische Volksbanken-AG zählt zu den führenden Finanzkonzernen in Österreich, 1922 als Spitzeninstitut des Volksban-Sektors gegründet, nimmt die Bank traditionell eine tragende Funktion als Partner der österreichischen Wirtscahft –  auch für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen –  ein.

While operating business has been positive – such as the increase in net interest income – the effects of the financial market crisis have left their mark on financial investments.

As a result of concentrating on profitable financing transactions in the areas of corporate and real estate financing there was an adjusted rise of 23%.

In the corporate and real estate financing divisions business expanded and margins improved noticeably. As a result, net interest income remained at the level of the first quarter of 2007 despite the spin-off of the Europolis Group.

In the corporate and real estate segments, expansion of the business volume led to an increase in net interest income of 47% and 6% respectively. After-tax profit rose to EUR 128.1 m. This is, after deducting minority interests in subsidiaries, equivalent at this stage to 98% of net profit for the whole of 2006.

Net interest income rose in the first half of the year by 11% or EUR 12.4 m, thus contributing decisively to the improvement in the Investkredit Group’s earnings.  Both the expansion of business and the improvement in the margins on corporate lending made a difference.

The improvement in earnings over the first three months of this year is mainly due to the rise in net interest income. This is largely due to improvements in margins for corporate and real estate financing as well as an expansion of business.

The results of the specialist banking group in Central Europe continued to show a positive development in the first half of 2004, confirming strategic efforts made to build up the business in recent years.

The results of the financial year 2003 can be taken as a distinct confirmation of Investkredit's strategic positioning as a specialist banking group.

Architecture shapes the present and the future. This Annual Report features "Danube House", part of the River City Prague Project, developed by Europolis Invest in 2003.

Online Annual Report 2003 

Investkredit sharpened its profile as a specialist bank in 2001 by consistently concentrating the activities of its subsidiaries in the areas relating to the business of long-term financing. A clear indication of the acceptance of this specialisation by our clients and business partners is the rapid growth in the volume of corporate financing and in the volume of financing for local governments and real-estate projects.

With some EUR 16.7 m profit after tax, Investkredit Group results continued to grow in the first half of 2001. This clearly reflects the Group's concentration on medium- and long-term financial services in the enterprise, local government and real-estate segments. The internationalization strategy was continued with the opening of the Prague representative office in April.
