Banca Sistema S.p.A. ( (IT:BST) ) has provided an update.

Banca Sistema’s board has approved revised 2025 separate and consolidated financial statements after the successful takeover bid by CF+ S.p.A., which led to a sharp reduction of the bank’s stake in KK from 70.59% to 16.34%. The transaction terms implied a disposal value below KK’s book equity, triggering an impairment test under IAS 36 and a resulting goodwill write-down of €13.3 million.

Following the impairment, the group’s 2025 consolidated net profit falls to €29.0 million from the previously disclosed €42.3 million, although phased-in capital ratios remain robust, with a CET1 ratio of 15.1% and a Total Capital ratio of 17.8%. In line with Bank of Italy directions after an inspection, the board will propose to allocate the entire 2025 parent-company net profit of €34.3 million to retained earnings and has suspended provisions for about €7.3 million of potential change-of-control-related remuneration costs, which may affect future years depending on supervisory decisions.

The upcoming shareholders’ meeting on 23 April 2026 will be asked to approve this profit allocation, renew the Board of Statutory Auditors and set its remuneration, and vote on the remuneration policy and payouts report. The decisions reflect tighter regulatory oversight in the wake of the change of control and will influence capital retention, governance structure, and future cost recognition for executives and directors.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:BST) stock is a Buy with a EUR2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Banca Sistema S.p.A. stock, see the IT:BST Stock Forecast page.
