OTP’s net profit in the first quarter came to HUF -33.4 bln loss vs. our estimate of HUF 4.7 bln and consensus forecast of HUF 60.2 bln profit. The profit miss was almost entirely attributed to Russia apart from the “normally” expected one-offs i.e. bank tax, acquisitions. OTP had a goodwill impairment in Russia to the tune of HUF 56.3 bln and another negative HUF 34.5 bln was related to the Russian bond portfolio. Corporate tax rate was also higher in the quarter on deferred asset reduction in RU.
