COPENHAGEN - Jyske Bank, a leading Danish financial institution, disclosed a slight increase in earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025, rising from DKK 19.0 in Q1 2024 to DKK 19.4. Despite lower short-term interest rates, the bank reported sustained business volume growth, particularly in personal customer services.
The bank’s core income for the quarter was DKK 3,229 million, a decrease of 6% from DKK 3,430 million in Q1 2024. Core expenses saw a modest reduction to DKK 1,533 million from DKK 1,557 million the previous year. Loan impairment charges were down to DKK 66 million from DKK 82 million, with post-model adjustments related to loan impairment charges increasing to DKK 1,869 million from DKK 1,782 million at the end of 2024.
Jyske Bank’s capital ratio stood at 20.9%, with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 15.7%, slightly down from 22.0% and 16.6%, respectively, in Q1 2024. The bank attributes this to the implementation of Basel IV regulations.
The bank’s CEO, Lars Mørch, highlighted the bank’s strong financial position and its ability to support customers amid higher geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing trade wars. Mørch also noted the strategic progress the bank has made, focusing on customer satisfaction and digital advancements, including the introduction of AI assistants and enhanced online and mobile banking experiences.
Jyske Bank has reported a surge in customer satisfaction over the past year, with personal customer satisfaction showing one of the largest increases among Danish banks and corporate customer satisfaction also on the rise.
The bank announced the upcoming retirement of Niels Erik Jakobsen, Head of Personal Banking and Wealth Management, and the appointment of Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten, a former executive at DNB in Norway, to the position starting June 1, 2025.
In terms of financial performance, net fee and commission income increased by 20%, driven by assets under management and the adoption of investment products. However, core income was affected by a decrease in net interest income due to a lower policy rate set by Danmarks Nationalbank.
