Nykredit today announces its Q1 Interim Reports 2023 of:
Nykredit A/S, CVR no 12 71 92 48
Nykredit Realkredit A/S, CVR no 12 71 92 80
Michael Rasmussen, Group Chief Executive, comments on the Q1 Interim Report 2023:
- Nykredit has today presented its best-ever Q1 results with profit after tax of DKK 2,799 million. Naturally, this is highly satisfactory. We already raised our guidance for profit for the year by DKK 1 billion and now expect a profit after tax of DKK 9-10 billion.
- First quarter was driven by strong business growth and continued increases in the number of new customers across the Group. Nykredit Bank reported continued growth in bank lending, particularly to our largest corporate clients. Also Wealth Management performed well. I am proud that Nykredit maintains its position of strength and is well placed to support its customers and to foster development and growth all over Denmark at all times.
- Income from our core business went up by 10% compared with last year, reflecting higher interest rates etc. Our Q1 results were also driven by a strong credit quality, which has resulted in low loan impairments. We successfully managed our own portfolios but also benefited from market tailwinds. All value adjustments have been recognised through profit or loss.
- The increase in customer numbers across the Group gives us the opportunity to show even more homeowners, private investors and businesses what a mutual financial provider can do for them. Thanks to Forenet Kredit, the association behind Nykredit, we expect to give DKK 1.9 billion back to our customers this year in the form of mutual benefits such as KundeKroner and ErhvervsKroner discounts and other contributions that make it more affordable for customers to make green choices.
