Through innovative securitisations, Attica has de-risked its portfolio, reducing net impaired loans from over 250% to just 79% of net tangible assets incorporating the gain on the Metexelixis transaction. This will also lift the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 12.8% to 14.3%, representing significant headroom over regulatory requirements. Management will now move on to the next stage of recovery, shifting the group’s focus to the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market and raising profitability to improve the price/net tangible asset ratio, estimated at just 0.14x.
