OTP Bank Nyrt, a leading financial institution in Hungary, operates in the banking sector and is known for its extensive network across Central and Eastern Europe, offering a range of financial services including retail and corporate banking, asset management, and leasing.
In the first quarter of 2025, OTP Bank reported a consolidated profit after tax of HUF 189 billion, reflecting a 21% year-over-year decline. The bank’s return on equity stood at 14.9%, with a stable net interest margin and a 3% quarter-over-quarter growth in organic performing loan volumes.
Key financial highlights include a 19% increase in pre-tax profit quarter-over-quarter and a 10% rise year-over-year, driven by a 22% growth in operating profit. Total income increased by 15% year-over-year, with net interest income growing by 7% and net fees and commissions by 15%. However, the quarter was impacted by special negative items, including banking taxes and supervisory charges, which reduced the profit after tax by HUF 135 billion.
Despite these challenges, OTP Bank’s management remains optimistic about the future, expecting marginal improvements in the operating environment for 2025. The bank anticipates an above 9% growth in FX-adjusted organic performing loan volumes and a stable net interest margin. The cost-to-income ratio is expected to be slightly higher than in 2024, with a similar portfolio risk profile.
Overall, OTP Bank continues to navigate a complex economic landscape, with a focus on maintaining strong financial performance and capital adequacy, while adapting to regulatory changes and market conditions.
