Horia Ciorcilă, Chairman of Banca Transilvania’s Board of Directors, declared: “We are pleased with the results of our bank during the first nine months of 2015. We are currently focused on finalizing the integration of Volksbank Romania within the structure of Banca Transilvania, which is to take place at the end of the year, and also on adapting the Banca Transilvania Financial Group and our business lines to the new dimension resulting from this transaction.”

Ömer Tetik, Banca Transilvania’s CEO, stated: “Banca Transilvania’s stable outlook has also been recently confirmed by Fitch Ratings, through the credit ratings assigned to the Bank, which reflect the sound level of capitalization, internal capital generation capability, asset quality, profitability and adequate provision coverage of non-performing loans”.

At the end of Q3 2015, the loan portfolio balance was 19.1% higher than at the end of 2014 (half of this growth being organic), despite the fact that the loan write-off process continued during this period (RON 520 million). During the same time frame, the total amount of customer deposits went up by 8.3%. Non-performing loans PAR >90 represent 9.5% of Banca Transilvania’s total credit portfolio.

High operational efficiency, despite the expenses incurred by the integration of Volksbank Romania

Operational efficiency is comfortable, the cost/income ratio being 49.4%, in spite of the expenses resulted from the integration of Volksbank Romania into the structure of Banca Transilvania and the impact of legislative changes concerning the registration of expenditures for guaranteeing deposits.

With regards to the impact on financial results of the Volksbank Romania integration, the estimates presented by BT during the bank’s General Meetings of Shareholders from April and October 2015 were confirmed by the Q3 results. Banca Transilvania forecasts scale benefits for increased efficiency, with positive effects on its market share, as a result of purchasing VBRO. The two banks will merge on December 31, 2015.
