Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Nova Ljubljanska Banka dd ( (DE:N1V2) ) has issued an announcement.

NLB Group reported resilient underlying performance in the first quarter of 2026, with profit after tax of EUR 119.3 million slightly lower year-on-year due to non-recurring items, while recurring profit before impairments and provisions rose 5%. Loan growth remained broad-based, with gross loans up 3% year-to-date and 14% year-on-year, supporting a 3% rise in net interest income and 8% growth in net fee and commission income, as the bank maintained strict cost control and stabilising net interest margins.

Asset quality and funding metrics stayed strong, with low cost of risk, a healthy loan-to-deposit ratio, and robust capital ratios that support continued organic expansion, potential mergers and acquisitions, and rising shareholder payouts. Management and the supervisory board highlighted the group’s disciplined strategy, strong risk culture, and recent Moody’s upgrade as evidence of its resilience, positioning the bank to accelerate growth across key metrics, a message it will underline at its Investor Day in Sarajevo and related regional investor events.
