Chairmans statement
Sean FitzPatrick Chairman
Record prots and earnings per share, record growth in customer lending, an expanded and enhanced funding base, excellent asset quality and the improvement in our cost to income ratio are the highlights of the period.
Your Bank delivered another excellent performance in the six months to 31 March 2007. Record prots and earnings per share, record growth in customer lending, an expanded and enhanced funding base, excellent asset quality and the improvement in our cost to income ratio are the highlights of the period. These are the key factors which have contributed to the Banks consistent record of creating value for shareholders. Underlying prots for the six months increased by 47% to 552 million, excluding a prot of 22 million on the disposal of our Isle of Man trust activities in December 2006. Including this one off gain, our reported prot grew by 53% to 574 million. Financial highlights of your Groups performance for the period include: Strong protability and shareholder value
Exceptional growth in customer lending of 9.3 billion, an increase of 19% on a constant currency basis Robust asset quality with impaired loans representing just 0.50% of closing customer loan balances Strong lending work in progress of 9.2 billion Improved cost to income ratio of 25% Total growth in funding of 13.6 billion, up 22% Strong Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%
to expect a repeat of the exceptional level of net lending recorded in the rst half of the year. Looking out further we are condent that the Bank will continue to gain an increasing share of our target markets, particularly in the UK and North America. Above all, growth will continue to be premised on the Banks strict focus on maintaining the long-term asset quality of the loan book. Treasury a robust diversied funding platform Our Treasury division delivered an outstanding funding performance during the rst half of the year with total funding up 13.6 billion, 22% in constant currency terms, to 75.4 billion, at the end of March. The Banks core strategy of diversifying and extending the duration of its funding base continues to strengthen the Groups balance sheet. This is evidenced by the 8.5 billion growth in customer funding, driven in particular by the progress of our UK retail offering, with customer numbers up 75% during the half year to over 63,000. Our success in this sector of the market reects our reputation for superior customer service and competitive, innovative product offerings. A number of other milestones demonstrating the effectiveness of our funding strategy have been reached in recent months. In March, Standard & Poors, the international rating agency initiated coverage of the Bank with an A long-term / A-1 short-term rating. This, together with our existing strong ratings from the other principal rating agencies - Fitch, Moodys and Dominion Bond Rating Service - further enhances the Banks standing in global capital markets.
It is particularly pleasing that all divisions have contributed so positively to the Banks excellent performance.
Dividend
The Board has again declared a strong increase in the Banks interim dividend of 20%, to 6.48 cent per ordinary share. The dividend will be paid on 17 July 2007 to shareholders on the Banks register as at close of business on 18 May 2007. Withholding tax may apply on the dividend depending on the tax status of each shareholder. Shareholders will be offered the opportunity of receiving dividends in the form of cash or shares.
Reported pre-tax prot of 574 million and EPS of 63.6 cent Record underlying pre-tax prot of 552 million, an increase of 47% Record underlying EPS of 60.6 cent, up 45% Continued strong return on equity of 30% 20% increase in interim dividend to 6.48 cent
The earnings momentum of our strong lending growth to date, a high quality asset base and work in progress of E9.2 billion at 31 March 2007 combine to ensure the continued delivery of superior protability and shareholder value into the future.
The Bank has just issued the capital markets rst covered bond transaction backed solely by UK commercial mortgages. The success of this 2 billion Aaa rated innovative programme provides another valuable source of long-term funding to the Group. Broadening and deepening our funding franchise provides opportunities to the Bank to select the most effective sources of funding from both a business and liquidity perspective. It provides for a highly robust and exible balance sheet under all market conditions. Among other highlights in the period, our corporate sales teams generated signicant fee income by providing innovative interest rate and foreign exchange risk management solutions to customers. Wealth Management The strong performance from our Wealth Management division resulted in a 57% increase in prot to 47 million for the six months to 31 March 2007. All our locations Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and the UK contributed to this growth. Private Banking in Ireland continues to be the key driver, conrming our position as Irelands leading provider of wealth management services to the high net worth segment of the market. In the past year we raised over 500 million of investor equity for a wide range of structured investment opportunities. Our newly established UK Private Bank has enjoyed an encouraging start. We aim to replicate the success of our Irish business by providing a tailored and differentiated product offering, initially to our existing UK lending client base.
Board
Once again, I thank Paddy Wright who retired as a Nonexecutive Director following our recent Annual General Meeting. I would like to pay tribute to Paddy whose contribution to the development of the Bank since joining the Board in February 2000 was outstanding. I also welcome Nol Harwerth who joined your Board in February 2007 as a Non-executive Director. Nol was Chief Operating Ofcer of Citibank International in Europe until 2003 and holds a number of non-executive directorships in nancial services and other industries. Nol has extensive experience in international nancial markets and we look forward to her contribution to the Banks next phase of growth.
Our people
It has been another period of signicant investment. We now have 1,672 people which, allowing for the departure of 85 staff following the disposal of our Isle of Man trust activities, is an increase of 8% since September 2006. This continued emphasis on developing teams in our core businesses positions the Bank very well for future growth. The quality and commitment of our people is central to the Groups success and continued growth. The collective skill, knowledge and commitment of our employees underpins an exceptionally strong culture of delivery for customers - the key driver of our performance.
A proven strategy
The Bank will continue its consistent strategy of controlled growth in each of its target markets through customised client offerings. As always, our risk appetite remains conservative and we will maintain our relentless focus on asset quality. We have a coherent group of businesses - Lending, Treasury and Wealth Management - delivering high quality asset growth, a robust and diversied funding platform and a niche private banking service. We will continue to grow organically and to focus on the signicant growth opportunities that exist in each of our target markets.
