Inbank Reports Strong Q1 2025 Financial Performance
In the first quarter of 2025, Inbank achieved a consolidated net profit of 4.5 million euros, marking a 14% increase compared to the previous year. The return on equity (ROE) stood at 12.3%, indicating robust growth.
Income and Expense Overview
Inbank's total net income for Q1 2025 reached 20.7 million euros, reflecting an impressive 18% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily driven by enhanced margins and strong portfolio development across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Baltics. Operating expenses grew to 11.1 million euros, which is an 11% rise year-on-year. Consequently, Inbank improved its cost-income ratio to 53.5% for this quarter.
Volume and Financing Growth
The originated volume (OV) for the first quarter stood at 166 million euros, a 6% increase from the same quarter last year. Notably, green financing in Poland surged by 67%, reaching 33 million euros during this quarter. However, the merchant solutions segment, which remains the largest, saw a 7% decline to 59.3 million euros, largely due to a strategic withdrawal from lower-margin partners in Poland.
Portfolio Developments
Inbank's loan and rental portfolio reached an impressive 1.18 billion euros, an increase of 11% year-over-year. The deposit portfolio also saw a significant boost, growing 15% to 1.27 billion euros. By the end of Q1 2025, Inbank's total assets amounted to 1.5 billion euros, showing a 13% rise compared to the previous year.
Customer Engagement and Impairments
After exiting lower-margin merchants, Inbank successfully increased the number of active customer contracts to 941,000 and engaged 5,600 active partners. Meanwhile, impairments on loans and receivables remained stable, accounting for 1.54% of the average loan and rental portfolio, aligning with the company's targets.
