Oschadbank’s net profit at the end of 2022 is 690 million UAH compared with 1,054 million UAH in 2021, such preliminary data, which can be clarified by the results of annual adjustments and external audit, said the head of the bank’s management board Sergei Naumov.
“In the super-heavy conditions of martial law Oschadbank was able to maintain profitability. This allows us to keep capital at a sufficient level and gives prospects for the payment of dividends to the state,” he wrote in Telegram on Monday.
Naumov specified that compared to 2021, operating income for 2022 increased by 1.6 billion UAH – to 21.7 billion UAH, interest income increased by 1.1 billion UAH – to 22.4 billion UAH, while interest expenses decreased by 0.4 billion UAH – to 7.5 billion UAH.
He added that there was also an increase in net non-interest income – by UAH 0.8 billion to UAH 7.6 billion.
According to the head of the board, the results of Oschadbank had a positive impact on the revaluation of financial instruments in the amount of UAH 4.8 billion because of the presence of securities in his portfolio with indexed value.
Naumov noted that in assessing the risks the bank always adheres to a conservative position, so the bank formed additional reserves of 12.1 billion UAH, which is 4.3 times more than in 2021, because there were weighted possible losses in the reporting year due to the deterioration of the loan portfolio quality, caused by an active war.
Head of the Board also recalled that in 2022 Oschadbank became a member of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, paying 777 million UAH contributions, which also respectively decreased the annual profit compared with the previous year.
Oschadbank was founded in 1991. Its sole owner is the state. According to statistics from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), on December 1, 2022, Oschadbank was in second place (282.828 billion UAH) among the 67 operating banks in the country by total assets.
