Key Points

Positve
  • Net income increased by 12.7% year-on-year to EUR565.8 million in the first half of 2026, driven by strong net interest income growth and disciplined cost management.
  • Bank Millennium in Poland saw net income rise nearly 39% year-on-year, supported by a 65% reduction in Swiss franc mortgage portfolio charges and strong commercial momentum.
  • Customer loans grew by 8.3% year-on-year to $65.2 billion, and total customer funds expanded by 9.8% to $116.7 billion, reflecting robust commercial franchise strength.
  • Non-performing exposures declined by EUR187 million, with the NPE ratio falling to 2.2%, and cost of risk remained well contained at 32 basis points.
  • Common equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 15.1%, comfortably above regulatory requirements, with a 90% payout policy including dividends and share buybacks.
Negative
  • Geopolitical tensions and persistent inflation continue to weigh on global economic growth, creating an uncertain operating environment.
  • Swiss franc mortgage portfolio in Poland, though reduced by 47% year-on-year, still incurred EUR96.7 million in charges in the first half, with some litigation uncertainty remaining.
  • Mozambique subsidiary's profitability remains impacted by sovereign risk provisions, with net income held near break-even due to prudent provisioning.
  • Operating costs increased by 5.4% year-on-year, driven by investments in digital transformation, AI, and cybersecurity, which could pressure efficiency if revenue growth slows.
  • Fee income growth in Portugal was at the lower end of mid-single-digit guidance, constrained by cautious retail investor appetite and competition from low-fee providers.

These dynamics have waged on global economic growth, despite the effect drop. The Portuguese economy has maintained a solid trajectory. The Polish economy continues to grow at a robust pace, and the Musembican economy also showing clear signs of normalization.

Against these challenging.
