Vincent Germyns, chairman of the executive board of BinckBank N.V.

“Market sentiment in 2016 remains less favourable than in 2015 and despite the summer months generally being a slow period for investors, transactions decreased with only 5% compared to the previous quarter. This decrease is mainly due to low market volatility following the Brexit. A positive development in the third quarter was the increase of the net fee and commission income per transaction due to a higher average order size per transaction. Interest income derived from the portfolio of Dutch residential mortgages has delivered a clear positive contribution to the interest income this quarter. In addition, BinckBank completed the share buyback program for a total amount of € 25 million on 23 September 2016.

In line with the planning BinckBank intends to introduce two new services in the fourth quarter as part of its new strategy Redesign Binck. This will provide BinckBank with additional building blocks in the Navigator role augmenting current activities in the Trading segment and enabling BinckBank to provide services within the Investing (Binck Investing for You) and Saving (Binck Savings) sections of the 9-grid.

Investing for You will be introduced as a new service for Belgian customers under the label Binck later this year. The size of the market, the unique proposition and the strong BinckBank position in Belgium offer good opportunities for this new form of discretionary asset management. The new savings broker product Binck Savings will start as planned in Q4 with a pilot under part of the Dutch clients."

Notes to the consolidated result 16Ytd

The adjusted net result in the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to € 23.0 million, giving an adjusted net result of € 0.34 per share. This is a decline of 48% compared to the same period in 2015 (15Ytd: € 44.0 million, € 0.63 per share).

The decline of the adjusted net result is mainly due to the continued lower number of transactions in 2016 compared to 2015. This led to a 21% lower fee and commission income of € 79.4 million (2015 Ytd: € 100.9 million). Net interest income slightly declined from € 19.6 million to € 19.1 million in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Interest income derived from the Dutch residential mortgages have clearly contributed positively to the net interest income in Q3.

Total adjusted operational expenses came to € 84.7 million in the first three quarters of 2016, which is 3% higher than the comparable period in 2015 (15Ytd: € 82.1 million). This increase is mainly a result of expenses relating to implementation of the new strategy known as Redesign Binck. Additional costs in the first three quarters of 2016 were € 1.4 million for contribution to the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) and € 0.4 million resulting from the adjustment of the composition and basis for the bank tax in Belgium. The cost/income ratio rose to 79% at 30 September 2016, influenced by higher expenses on one hand and lower operational income on the other. BinckBank is aiming for a cost/income ratio of 65% in 2018.

In the first three quarters of 2016 assets under administration rose by 13% to € 21.7 billion. This increase is an indication of the confidence by clients in BinckBank and is favourable for the roll-out of the strategy and the new earnings model.

The capital ratio declined by 5.2% to 33.2% by September 2016 compared to last year (15Ytd 38.4%). The decline of the ratio was mainly caused by higher risk weighted assets as a result of the investment in mortgages.

Reconciliation of the adjusted net result to IFRS-result

The table below reflects the reconciliation to the adjusted net result to the IFRS-result. In order to determine the adjusted net result the IFRS amortisation and the tax saving on the difference between the amortisation of the intangible assets and goodwill paid on the acquisition of Alex for tax purposes and for commercial purposes is adjusted in the relevant items in the statement of income.

2. Principles for financial reporting

BinckBank applies the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, known as ‘IFRS-EU’. The condensed consolidated results for the period ending 30 September 2016 are prepared in accordance with the standards applied in the consolidated annual financial statements on 31 December 2015. Binck will not use early application of new standards or amendments of standards and interpretations that have not yet taken effect, or have not yet been ratified by the European Union.

The condensed consolidated figures are in euros and all figures are rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR x 1,000), unless otherwise stated. The condensed consolidated figures for the period ending on 30 September 2016 do not contain all the information required for full financial statements and should therefore be read in combination with the consolidated financial statements for 2015. The consolidated financial statements of BinckBank for the 2015 financial year are available on request from the Investor Relations department on +31 (0)20 522 0392 or via www.binck.com.

3. Notes to the consolidated figures for the period ending on 30 September 2016

Financial assets available for sale and financial assets held to maturityAs at 30 September 2016 the bond portfolio available for sale amounted to € 796.4 million (31 December 2015: € 1,167.1) and the portfolio held to maturity amounted to € 842.9 million (31 December 2015: € 813.5 million). The decrease in the bond portfolios is related to the investment in the mortgage portfolios in 2016.

Loans and receivablesThe loans and receivables comprise of collateralized loans amounting to €474.8 million and the investment in mortgage loans amounting to €404.9 million.

BinckBank started its gradual investment in Dutch residential portfolios at the beginning of 2016 in association with its partner Dynamic Credit. In addition, on 15 July 2016, BinckBank acquired a portfolio of Dutch residential mortgages of Obvion amounting to approximately €340 million.

Intangible assetsIntangible assets (including goodwill) are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount, less applicable annual amortisation, may be impaired. During the period ending on 30 September 2016 the intangible assets including goodwill were assessed for impairment on the basis of the identified indicators. There was no indication of an impairment of the intangible assets.

Property, plant and equipmentIn the period ending on 30 September 2016 BinckBank acquired property, plant and equipment with a value of € 397,000 (15Ytd: € 448,000).

Other assets and other liabilitiesThe other assets and other liabilities concern mainly significant items that relate to unsettled customer transactions. This item depends on customer transaction volumes around the end of the period, and may therefore fluctuate.

Derivatives positions held on behalf of clientsAs a result of changes to the Securities Giro Transfer Act (Wet giraal effectenverkeer, or ‘Wge’), since 1 April 2016 derivative instruments also fall under the protection of the Wge and are, subject to conditions, segregated from the assets of the institution. BinckBank has accordingly reassessed the recognition criteria under IFRS for the item ‘derivative positions held on behalf of clients’. BinckBank has concluded that in view of the nature of these positions, this item no longer has to be recognised in the statement of financial position under IFRS after 1 April 2016.

Funds entrustedIn the period ending 30 September 2016, the funds entrusted increased compared to 31 December 2015 to € 3.0 billion. The increase of the funds entrusted is the result of client activities and BinckBank holds the related funds partly as current assets like cash.

ProvisionsBinckBank is involved in disputes with contractual parties and customers. Some of these disputes lead to legal proceedings. BinckBank assesses these items on a case-by-case basis and forms a provision if there is a reasonable chance of an expected outflow of assets for legal costs and/or financial settlement of the case in question.

On 17 March 2016 the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) imposed a fine on BinckBank of € 500,000 for late reporting to AFM of transactions in financial instruments. Furthermore the AFM imposed a fine on BinckBank of € 750,000 for unclear and misleading information in commercials for Alex Asset Management during the period 8 September 2012 until 26 August 2014. BinckBank lodged an appeal against this last fine. In 2015 BinckBank had already formed a provision in respect of both fines.

TaxTax is calculated at the estimated average rate of tax for the entire year 2016. The average tax rate, taking account of holding exemptions and other tax facilities, is 34.6% (15Ytd: 19.4%). The increase in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the relative effect of tax allowances with respect to current tax on the annual result before tax.

Legal proceedingsBinckBank is involved in various legal proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of currentor impending lawsuits, the executive board believes – on the basis of information currently available and after taking legal counsel – that the outcomes are unlikely to have material adverse effects on BinckBank's financial position or profitability, apart from matters which have already led to the formation of a provision.

BinckBank in relation to Alex Asset Management on behalf of customers, has also announced that it will cooperate with the Dutch Investors’ Association (the VEB) in a collective action against Alex Asset Management. The Financial Ombudsman (Kifid) has selected a number of the 179 claims for consideration, and is expected to issue its rulings in 16Q4. As in previous periods, there is still a realistic threat that legal proceedings will be brought by customers of Alex Asset Management that are not provided for.

Lawsuit EuronextThe District Court of The Hague ruled in the case Euronext N.V. and Euronext Amsterdam N.V. (“Euronext”) filed against TOM Holding N.V., TOM Broker B.V., TOM B.V. and BinckBank N.V. (BinckBank). The Court awarded a number of claims of Euronext. BinckBank had to discontinue a number of behaviors and furthermore sentenced to pay compensation for damage suffered by Euronext. BinckBank has also been summoned to pay damages suffered by Euronext, of which the amount is to be determined in a damage assessment procedure. BinckBank has appealed against the verdict. Also, the board believes – based on information currently available and after consulting legal advisors – that the amount of this damage can not be determined reliably at this time.

Deposit guarantee schemeThe deposit guarantee scheme is intended to guarantee certain deposits by accountholders if a bank cannot meet its obligations. The scheme provides security for deposits of up to €100,000 and applies per accountholder per bank, regardless of the number of accounts held. In case of a joint account operated by two persons, the maximum applies per person. More or less all savings accounts, current accounts and term deposits are covered. Equities and bonds are not covered. If a credit institution finds itself in difficulties and does not have sufficient funds to pay all or part of the guaranteed amounts to its account holders, De Nederlandsche Bank will make up the difference to the aforementioned maximum. As from 26 November 2015, the funding of the deposit guarantee scheme was changed from an ex-post basis to an ex-ante basis. As from the first quarter of 2016, the banks contribute quarterly to a fund for the deposit guarantee scheme. If the resources of the deposit guarantee fund are not sufficient for compensation, the remainder will be recovered from the banks on a pro rata basis.

BinckBank contributed a sum of € 1.4 million to the scheme in the period ending 30 september 2016.

Related partiesThe group of related parties consists of consolidated companies, associates, and the executive board and supervisory board of BinckBank. The following related parties were identified as at 30 September 2016: TOM Holding N.V. and its affiliated entities, the executive board and the supervisory board of BinckBank.
