AL Sydbank posts strong first quarter as merged bank and presses ahead with integration

Sydbank A/S ( (GB:0MGE) ) just unveiled an announcement.

AL Sydbank has delivered its first full quarterly results as a merged entity, showing growth in both lending and deposits and a solid 11.8% return on tangible equity after tax despite geopolitical turmoil and energy market uncertainty. Total credit facilitation reached DKK 387.3bn, deposits rose to DKK 212.9bn, net profit came in at DKK 803m, and the bank remains well-capitalised with a 15.7% CET1 ratio, underpinning its ability to support customers and continue a DKK 1.1bn share buyback.

The integration of the three banks is progressing rapidly, with all leaders appointed, the first 17 overlapping branches merged and preparations under way for an IT migration to Bankdata in 2027, while management works to define a common culture and leadership principles. For 2026 AL Sydbank expects moderate growth in the Danish economy and guides for net profit of DKK 3.5bn–4.0bn, signalling confidence in its post‑merger business model but also acknowledging risks from volatile financial markets and macroeconomic uncertainty.
