Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of PKO Bank Hipoteczny SA for 2021.
Once again, the excellent results we are reporting confirm the high quality of our loan portfolio and the continued improvement of the effectiveness of the Bank’s operations. In 2021 our operations were supported by a favourable macroeconomic environment. Low unemployment and stable economic growth translated into high purchasing power and record demand on the real estate market. These factors allowed us to achieve net profit of PLN 94,9 million, which constituted a 16,4 percent improvement compared to 2020.
The very low cost of risk, which at the end of the 2021 was only 0.01 percent, and the total capital ratio, which at the end of December was 20.9 percent, 2.2 p.p. higher compared to the end of 2020, attest to the safety and stability of the Bank’s operations.
Moody’s Investor Service confirmed the Bank’s high credibility by raising our long-term issuer rating from Baa1 to A3. The safety of PKO Bank Hipoteczny’s mortgage covered bonds is reflected in the Aa1 rating, the highest rating achievable by Polish debt securities.
As of 31 December 2021 the Bank’s total assets amounted to PLN 25.6 billion, of which nearly 90 percent, i.e. nearly PLN 23 billion, comprised the highest quality residential mortgage loan portfolio. In turn, t he total value of the Bank’s outstanding mortgage covered bonds amounted to PLN 13.1 billion at the end of December, i.e. approx. 57 percent of all mortgage covered bonds on the market.
This allowed PKO Bank Hipoteczny to remain the leader on the Polish mortgage banks market, both in terms of the value of outstanding mortgage covered bonds issued and the size of the residential mortgage loan portfolio. In 2021 the Bank did not issue any mortgage covered bonds, however, it pursued its strategic goals by, among other things, maintaining its readiness to issue such covered bonds, as well as green covered bonds. In doing so, were are in line with the global trends of meeting the new ESG requirements and investor expectations in addition to reaffirming the importance of sustainable development in our Bank’s operations.
During 2021, together with the PKO Bank Polski Group, we continued to implement solutions supporting our Customers. We worked on the further development of remote service processes, and among other things, we made available the option to sign and submit documents online via iPKO. Furthermore, we introduced the electronic submission of documents to our Customers and expanded the list of requests which can be submitted via the application.
I wish to thank our Customers and Investors for their trust in us, and the Employees of the Bank and the PKO Bank Polski Group for their tireless efforts to build the value of our Company, and I cordially invite you to read the Annual Report for 2021. I hope you will enjoy reading it and that it will be a source of valuable information on our Bank’s operations.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Goska
President of the Management Board
