VTB Bank ("VTB" or "the Bank"), the parent company of VTB Group ("the Group"), today publishes its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months and nine months ended 30 September 2020 with the independent auditor's report on review of these statements.
Andrey Kostin, VTB President and Chairman of the Management Board, said:
"VTB Group has achieved good performance against key operating metrics in 9M 2020. While we delivered sizeable growth in net interest and commission income, expenses rose at a modest pace. Against the backdrop of a recovery in business and consumer activity following the spring decline caused by the pandemic, we achieved strong growth in our loan portfolio and client base.
"Following the inevitable deterioration of the financial condition of some types of borrowers due to the restrictive measures, we have significantly increased loan loss provisions, which put strong pressure on the bottom line. VTB Group's net income in January-September 2020 amounted to RUB 59.1 billion, having decreased by 54% year-on-year.
"The unprecedented circumstances that have impacted the entire world have confirmed we have been pursuing the right strategy of accelerated digitalisation and transformation of the business and processes. Over the past several months, VTB team has made remarkable progress on further improving our services and applications and strengthening customer relations as a bank of first choice. This bodes well for profitability to get back in line with strategic targets in the foreseeable future."
