LLB Group Reports Strong Half-Year Performance

The Liechtensteinische Landesbank (LLB) Group announced a solid interim result for the first half of 2025 with a net profit of CHF 91.0 million. This achievement highlights the resilience of the bank amid ongoing market uncertainties. The recently acquired ZKB Österreich also contributed to the results for the first time. The business volume surged to CHF 117.2 billion, marking a 3.3% increase.

Operating income rose by 10.5% to CHF 312.8 million, driven by increased fee and commission income following the acquisition of ZKB Österreich. Client assets under management reached a record of CHF 100.9 billion. Despite an increase in operating expenses due to the acquisition, strict cost controls kept the cost-income ratio stable at 65.7%.

Looking forward, LLB expects a lower full-year result due to reduced interest rates and integration costs associated with ZKB Österreich. Despite these challenges, the bank's diversified business model positions it well for future growth.
