Q4 2025 earnings summary12 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved net profit of EUR 503.1 million for 2025, driven by robust 14% loan growth and strong fee income, despite margin pressure and higher provisioning costs.

  • Total assets increased 12% year-over-year to EUR 31.5 billion, with customer deposits up 10% and continued strong growth in Southeast Europe.

  • Maintained a leading market position in Southeast Europe, with double-digit loan growth in both retail and corporate segments.

  • Digital transformation advanced, with digital active user base up 5.7% YoY and digital sales of core products rising to 36%.

  • Dividend payout ratio increased to 55% of profits, with absolute dividend growth despite a slight net income decline.

Financial highlights

  • Net operating income grew 5% YoY to EUR 1,302.5 million, with net interest income up 1% YoY and net non-interest income up 16% YoY.

  • Cost-to-income ratio (CIR) at 47.4%, reflecting higher operating costs but remaining below guidance.

  • Return on equity after tax (ROE a.t.) was 14.5%, with normalized ROE at 20.5%.

  • Cost of risk for the year was 29 basis points, mainly due to sector-specific provisions in Slovenia.

  • NPL ratio stable at 2.0%, with coverage ratios above EU averages.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2026 guidance targets net operating income above EUR 1.3 billion, CIR below 48%, cost of risk at 30–50 bps, and high single-digit loan growth.

  • Dividend payout ratio outlook is 50-60% by 2027, with current capital levels supporting growth and distributions.

  • Effective tax rate expected to converge to 15% by 2029 as DTA utilization and balance sheet tax sunset.

  • M&A capacity up to EUR 4 billion RWA, supported by strong capital and recent AT1 issuance.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
