Statement of the CEO, Paulus de Wilt:
“Year to date performance at the end of the third quarter continued to be strong, with all key performance metricsimproving. Net profit was boosted by high investment income driven by the sale of several equity investments. As wecontinue to rebalance our portfolios, we grasp opportunities we see in the market which allow us to grow and make our portfolios more granular. In the first nine months of 2018, our corporate client assets grew with 3%, while our onbalance mortgage loan portfolio grew with 5%. The off-balance originate to manage mortgage portfolio nearly tripled over the same period. Net interest margin improved further in the third quarter, mainly driven by a further decrease of the average funding spread.
Our solvency ratios are strong and we are well prepared for potential changes of the economic climate as well as the regulatory environment. We continued to deliver upon our promises since our listing. I am pleased to announce a second interim dividend of EUR 0.25 per share, payable in December 2018, backed by profits on exits of equity investments.”
We hebben dan al 0,50 c aan interim div. ontvangen op een koers van gemiddeld 8,50 zullen we maar zeggen, En dan krijgen we volgend jaar nog een slotdividend. loopt dan aardig naar de 8% als dat ook nog eens 0,25c wordt. Wat is dit aandeel dan belachelijk goedkoop. En ook nog eens onder intrinsieke waarde.
