Liberbank 1Q18 results preview: Positive trends in revenues may continue

 

1Q18e net group profit: €21mn

Liberbank will release its 1Q18 results on Wednesday, April 25th.. The company will hold a video webcast 09:30 CET that will be accessible from https://corporativo.liberbank.es/.

According to our figures, the bank may post a

34.5% yoy decline in its 1Q18e net group profit, to €21mn, due to lower trading gains. Net interest income may total €106mn (+2.8% qoq and +4.0% yoy) growing for the second consecutive quarter and positively reflecting the flattish margins, a larger fixed income portfolio and a positive evolution of lending volumes. Fee income may amount to €44mn (–14.4% qoq and +3.0% yoy) and gross margin may stand at €148mn (+1.1% qoq and 16.9% yoy) due to lower trading gains. Costs may increase +0.4% qoq and decline 2.3% yoy to €106mn leading to a pre–provision profit of €42mn. Recall that the savings from the c. 300 headcount cut would not be totally reflected this quarter. Cost of risk should diminish to 25bp (annualised) from 34 bp in 1Q17 and 116 bp in 2017 due to the cleanup process implemented in 2H17.
