EQS-Ad-hoc: ProCredit Holding AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast Frankfurt am Main, 26 October 2023 - The Management Board of ProCredit Holding AG decided today to raise the guidance for the financial year 2023 for the group's return on equity to the level of its medium-term outlook of around 12% (with a range of plus/minus 1 percentage point). The previously guided range for return on equity was 8% - 10%. The updated guidance for return on equity is now based on an assumed cost of risk of up to 30 basis points (previously: up to 45 basis points). This has been adjusted as the assumed more adverse conditions in the previous guidance only partially materialised. The cost-income ratio is expected at 60% - 62% (previously: 62% - 64%). Loan portfolio growth is anticipated in the lower to medium single-digit percentage range (previously: medium single-digit percentage range). The above updated guidances continue to be subject to adverse assumptions for the fourth quarter of the year, in particular to continue to take into account the ongoing combat activities in Ukraine and the associated uncertainties. The guidance for a CET1 ratio of over 13% and a leverage ratio of around 9% were confirmed in the course of these adjustments. For the purpose of calculating the capital ratios, one-third of the interim profits for the financial year are accrued for a dividend payment in 2024. The ProCredit group will publish its third quarter 2023 financial report on 14 November 2023.
