Total income (in PLN million) – consolidated data

Net interest income is the main component of the Group’s income responsible for 84% of income. Its inconsiderable Y/y growth (3%) resulted from the limited increase in the loan volumes and a larger deposit base as well as the effects of the CJEU judgement on early repayment of retail loans (its impact on the net interest income in 2019 amounted to PLN 135 million).

The net customer loan portfolio increased by 3% y/y, and customer deposits increased by 4%.

Net fee and commission income went down by 6.1 % to PLN 667 million. This result stemmed from fee and commission income of PLN 1 166 million (y/y increase by 6%) and fee and commission expenses of PLN 499 million (y/y increase by 28%).

The main reason for the decrease were brokerage fees, which is the result of regulations introduced by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority at the end of 2018.
