The consolidated return on equity after tax reached 36.9%. Total income for this period rose by 34% to EUR 162.0 million, driven by increased trading income.

Trading activities were a key contributor with revenue climbing to EUR 68.8 million, bolstered by high trading volumes and increased market share, particularly on the gettex platform. However, the interest business saw a decline, contributing EUR 22.8 million due to lower interest rates.
