Mestre (Venice) – 11 May 2017
The Board of Directors of Banca IFIS met today under the chairmanship of Sebastien Egon Fürstenberg and approved the financial results for the first quarter of 2017. “Banca IFIS is on a roll and determined to achieve excellent results across all businesses, consistently with its plans and in line with market expectations,” said Giovanni Bossi, Banca IFIS CEO. “In the first three months of 2017 we achieved our targets: we increased the number of customers across all businesses; our lending process was excellent, in compliance with the three pillars (control of profitability, liquidity, and capital absorption) that drive all the Group’s operations; the integration of the new segments (leasing and corporate banking) – added to the Banca IFIS Group with the acquisition of the former GE Capital Interbanca Group – is proving effective, with the individual business units showing a positive trend and expected to improve rapidly thanks to cross-selling. As a result of the strategic repositioning that started with the acquisition, we increased our market share in the various businesses as well as generated innovative financing arrangements in terms of customers and markets, in line with the 2017-2019 strategic plan. We will continue developing the acquired business segments, executing the planned mergers of IFIS Factoring and Interbanca in Banca IFIS in the second half of the year. We will complete the migration to the new core banking platform, which will become operational by the end of the first six months of 2017, and continue working steadily on new technologies to support the lending process and banking services. We are working for a strategy to diversify funding sources as well as entering the bond market through a bond issue, as approved by the Board of Directors and in line with the 2017-2019 strategic plan”.
