Capital Strength After FRTB ImplementationA materially stronger CET1 ratio after early FRTB adoption creates a durable capital buffer that reduces regulatory and funding risk, supports continuation of client-facing activities and planned country rollouts, and gives optionality for shareholder returns only when capital metrics sustainably exceed covenant thresholds.
Sustained Cost Reductions And Efficiency ActionsStructural cost base reductions and lower variable pay materially improve operating leverage, making the business less dependent on short-term revenue spikes to reach profitability. Persisting lower fixed and contractor costs increases the likelihood management can restore sustainable profits as revenues recover.
Platform & Product Expansion: Retail Flow, AMCs And LYNQS MomentumNew product channels and digital distribution (RFB, AMCs, LYNQS) diversify revenues away from legacy partner flows, create recurring servicing fees and platform economies, and offer scalable cross-border growth as approvals and rollouts progress, supporting medium‑term revenue restoration if adoption continues.
