Baader Bank generates a modestly negative result for the first half of 2016
- Dramatic decline in market trading volumes

- Earnings before taxes slightly negative, at EUR -2.1 million
- Administrative expenses fall by -10.7% to EUR 46.3 million
- Equity ratio 15%
Unterschleissheim, July 27, 2016
The volatile atmosphere in financial markets caused investors to be
restrained in their trading activities and corporate customers to be
hesitant to conduct capital market transactions in the first half of 2016.
Net commission income declined by -19.1%, from EUR 27.3 million in the
first half of last year to EUR 22.1 million in the reporting period. The
trading profit of EUR 24.5 million was -22.9% lower than the prior-period
comparison figure. Fortunately, net interest income, including current
income, rose by 76.8% to EUR 1.9 million. Baader Bank generated an
operating result of EUR -2.8 million in the first half of 2016 (PY: EUR 3.2
million).
Administrative expenses were lowered by -10.7%, from EUR 51.8 million to
EUR 46.3 million, mainly due to decreased personnel expenses and the cost
reduction program initiated already in 2015. Amortization and depreciation
of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment declined modestly
from EUR 5.1 million to EUR 4.9 million. It was not necessary to charge
write-downs on receivables or recognize impairments of securities in the
reporting period.
The subsidiaries Baader & Heins Group and Conservative Concept Portfolio
Management Group made positive contributions to the consolidated result,
whereas Baader Helvea Group made a negative contribution, due in part to
the closure of the Geneva office and the relocation of its head office to
Zurich.
Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT) amounted to EUR -2.1 million for
the period ended June 30, 2016 (PY: EUR 3.5 million).
Including the fund for general banking risks, the Baader Bank Group's
capital amounted to EUR 118.2 million as of June 30, 2016 (December 31,
2015: EUR 121.7 million). The equity ratio came to 15%.
Business performance in the first half of 2016
In the Market Making segment, Baader Bank acquired additional third-party
banks as clients for OTC trading. Baader Bank also connected additional
trading partners to the GETTEX exchange in Munich, where the bank is the
exclusive market maker, in the first half of 2016. The bank also
implemented new forms of exchange trading (quote request process) on the
stock exchanges in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.
In the Investment Banking segment, Baader Bank established itself as a
service provider to trading-savvy fin-tech companies. The cooperation
arrangements with Scalable Capital, Investify, and the Swiss firm
Werthstein have been very well received. Moreover, the considerably
intensified efforts to acquire new asset manager clients have already begun
to show positive results. Baader Bank also succeeded in further increasing
the number of international institutional clients. A new office was opened
in Boston, Massachusetts (USA), to serve these clients. Finally, the bank
advised on several capital market transactions, despite the extreme
restraint displayed by issuers in the first half of 2016.
Outlook for the second half of 2016
In the Market Making segment, Baader Bank expects trading volumes to
stabilize at the currently very low level. The bank expects to connect
additional partners to GETTEX, for both over over-the-counter and exchange
trading, in the second half of 2016.
In the Investment Banking segment, the transaction pipeline is well filled
and can be expected to deliver good profit contributions after the summer
break, assuming a receptive market environment. Commission income is
expected to benefit from the bank's intensive relationships with
institutional clients, which were also confirmed by the excellent results
of the 2016 EXTEL survey, and the expansion of business with asset
providers and fin-tech companies.
