Comment by Paavo Truu, CFO of Coop Pank:
"Loan demand strengthened during the spring period, in line with seasonal trends, and we continue to see solid growth across both the loan and leasing portfolios. After a prolonged period, the automotive market is also showing signs of recovery, providing additional impetus to the growth of leasing volumes. The increase in interest income continues to be supported by the six-month Euribor remaining stable at the 2.4-2.5% level.
At the General Meeting of Shareholders held in April, the financial results for the previous financial year and the dividend distribution were approved, and a new composition of the Supervisory Board was elected. A decision was also taken to launch a share buyback programme, under which the first repurchases were completed already in April. At the end of April, we distributed a dividend of 6.5 euro cents per share, amounting to a total of EUR 6.7 million. As a domestic bank, we are particularly pleased that 96.5% of this amount was received by Estonian individuals and companies.
In April, we also strengthened the bank's capital base by successfully completing the settlement of a EUR 15 million subordinated bond issuance. At the same time, we redeemed the oldest subordinated bonds in the amount of EUR 10 million, with settlement completed at the beginning of May. In addition, in April we generated EUR 0.3 million in extraordinary net income from the sale of a property in Riga that had remained in the portfolio for more than a decade."
