SEPARATE STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSSIn 2016, the Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas generated a net profit of PLN 49,388 thousand, which denoted a year-on-year growth by PLN 41,125 thousand (497.7%).
The net banking income generated in 2016 was PLN 2,492,248 thousand and was 23.5% higher than in 2015. It resulted mostly from the improved interest income.
The main factors that determined the comparison of the performance in the reporting periods under discussion were the mergers of banks BGŻ S.A., BNPP Polska and Sygma Bank Polska S.A. in 2015 and 2016. Data comparability was upset by the prospective recognition of the result of BNPP Polska in the profit or loss of the Bank in the 2015, i.e. from 30 April 2015, and the performance of Sygma Bank Polska being included in that of the Bank as from 31 May 2016.
Additionally, in 2015 and 2016, the Bank incurred substantial expenses related to the merger processes. Had the effects of integration in the above periods been eliminated, Bank's net profit in 2016 would amount to PLN 189,885 thousand, denoting a 8.3% growth YoY. In 2016, the cost of integration of the banks dropped by 15.9% YoY and amounted to PLN 173,453 thousand.
In 2015 and 2016 the performance of the Bank was affected by events beyond its control. In 2016, the Act on tax on certain financial institutions of 15 January 2016 introduced an additional tax on bank assets, calculated at the monthly rate of 0.0366%. The resulting total charge on the gross banking income in 2016 was PLN 185,876 thousand.
To events that significantly impact comparability of financials of two periods must be included additional costs charges pertaining to 2015, i.e. the statutory payment to the Banking Guarantee Fund to be used to pay guaranteed funds to depositors of Spółdzielczy Bank Rzemiosła i Rolnictwa in Wołomin (PLN 90.2 million), recognizing a provision for contribution to the Borrowers' Support Fund (BSF, PLN 38.2 million) and a fine charged by Office for Competition and Consumer Protection in relation to interchange fees on Visa and MasterCard cash card transactions in Poland (PLN 10.6 million), as well as the settlement of the transaction of acquiring Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. (PLN 41,817 thousand), which positively impacted the gross banking income for 2016.
Net interest income
In 2016, the net interest income, which represents the major source of the Bank's income, went up by PLN 356,770 thousand, i.e. 25.4%, which was driven by a rise in interest income of PLN 445,760 thousand, i.e. 21.8% YoY, while interest expense saw a smaller rise of PLN 88,990 thousand, i.e. 13.9% YoY. The level of interest income and expense in 2016 was affected both by external factors and the growth rate of commercial volumes arising mostly from the merger of Bank BGŻ with BNPP Polska and Sygma Bank Polska.
External factors include the policy of the National Bank of Poland regarding base rates involving their stabilization on a record low level (the reference rate of 1.5%).
Interest income on loans and advances to customers, the value of which increased by PLN 291,077 thousand (i.e. 19.9%) YoY, is the major item in the structure of the Bank's interest income (70.4%). In addition to interest on loans and advances, a rise was observed in interest on overdrafts to customers (by PLN 41,836 thousand, i.e. 12.8% YoY). The aforesaid increases resulted from the growth in the scale of operations of the Corporate Banking and Retail and Business Banking segments.
The volume of gross loans in the Bank increased by 6.9% YoY.
Among others, the rise in interest expense was driven by an increase in amounts due to banks as a result of merger processes (in 2015, no costs of financing BNP Paribas Polska S.A. received in the period from 30 April 2015 and an increase in 2016 expenses after the merger with Sygma Bank Polska S.A. as of 31 May 2016). For both banks, the share of liabilities to banks in financing sources was very high.
At the end of 2016, the Bank applied hedge accounting. Hedged items included current accounts maintained in EUR with fixed interest rate, and hedging instruments were plain vanilla IRS transactions, denominated in EUR, with the face value of PLN 4,019,360 thousand. The change in the fair value measurement of hedging transactions is recognized in the Result on hedge accounting; interest on IRS transactions and hedged items is recognized in the net interest income.
In 2016, the net interest income on hedge relationships (the sum of interest income on hedging instruments and interest expense on hedged items) was negative and amounted to PLN -1,042 thousand vs. a positive result of PLN 2,991 thousand for 2015.
