WOOD Flash – Bank of Cyprus: 1Q21 broadly in line, discount vs. Greek peers too wide

Bank of Cyprus has reported 1Q21 results that are broadly in line with our estimates. On the positive side, we highlight the strong new loan disbursements, the accelerating growth in fees and insurance income, the reassuring performance on the expired loans under moratoria, and the low cost of risk. On the negative side, the NII remains under pressure, as the loan yields are still trending downwards and the NPEs are deconsolidated. We remain confident in our full-year forecasts and believe that management is on track to deliver a ROTE of c.7% in 2023E.
