Consolidated balance sheet data

Total customer assets under management amounted to EUR 18.2 billion at the end of the first quarter, with an increase of 7.3% in direct deposits and a decrease of 6.5% in indirect deposits, still suffering from the negative performance of the securities.

The balance of the direct deposits as at 31 March 2012 exceeded EUR 7.2 billion with an increase of EUR 0.5 billion, mainly due to the increase in amounts owed to customers (+10.3%) which was the most significant item at 65.3%.
Total indirect deposits in the period fell by about EUR 0.8 billion, equal to 6.5% of the previous balance, standing at EUR 11 billion. Deposits by ordinary customers came to approximately EUR 7.8 billion, with a drop of approximately EUR 0.7 billion, equal to 7.8%, and concerning both the assets under administration and the asset management sectors, however there was an increase in the “bancassurance” in this category. Deposits by institutional customers fell by approximately EUR 0.1 billion compared to the same period last year, equal to 3.1%.

Lending to customers continued to increase. As at 31 March 2012, total loans to customers rose to around EUR 7 billion, marking an increase of about EUR 0.4 billion compared to the same period last year, corresponding to 5.9%.
The credit risk ratio calculated on net non- performing loans/ net loans increased to 2%, compared to 1.43% at the end of the first quarter of 2011, as a natural consequence of the difficult economic situation.

Operating profit (loss) after tax

The weight of the net adjustments for impairment of loans of EUR 15.9 million (EUR 3.3 million in the first quarter of the previous year), the positive balance of the net provisions for risks and charges of EUR 0.1 million, as well as the income taxes on current operations of EUR 9.6 million, led to operating profit after tax of EUR 13.6 million, EUR 2.6 million lower than the same period of the previous year (-15.9%).

Profit from non-recurring operations after tax

Profit from non-recurring operations after tax amounted to 4.9 million and mainly consists of the partial release of the allowance which totals EUR 37.8 million that was established at the end of 2008 against the risk of partial revision of the price collected for the disposal of 70% of Chiara Vita S.p.A. by the Parent Company as contractually provided within the company’s business plan (2012). Conversely, at the end of the previous period, the balance, still consisting of the partial release of the aforementioned allowance, amounted to EUR 7.7 million.

Parent Company Profit (Loss) for the period

The sum of the operating profit after tax and the profit from non-recurring operations after tax, the profit (loss) of the groups of assets held for sale after tax and the profit (loss) for the period pertaining to minority interests results in a Parent Company profit for the period of EUR 17.8 million, net of the minority interest of EUR 0.3 million. The profit is EUR 5.8 million less than the previous year (-24.9%), which benefited from EUR 2.8 million more relating to the nonrecurring profit/loss after taxes.

The territorial development of the Group’s distribution network led to a total number of 185 branches at the end of the first quarter of the year, with a rise of eight units over the total at the end of March of the previous year, while the employees amount to 1,864, up by two compared to the same period of the previous year.
