Revenue growth is picking up

Bank of Hangzhou 24H1's preliminary accounting revenue increased 5.4% year on year, and the growth rate rebounded 1.9 pc from 24Q1; net profit to mother increased 20.1% year over year, and the growth rate decreased 1.0 pc from 24Q1 month on month. The revenue growth rate was better than our previous expectations. The inference was mainly due to the fact that asset investment progress was better than expected, and the debt side gradually benefited from manual interest compensation management in the early stages.

Looking ahead to 2024, the Bank of Hangzhou's revenue growth rate is still under downward pressure. The main consideration is that the annual credit growth target has basically been achieved, and the scale growth rate may slow down; the downward pressure on interest spreads is still strong in an environment where demand for credit is weak.

Increased scale growth

At the end of 24Q2, preliminary accounting assets and loans increased 13.8% and 16.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 0.8 pc and 0.4 pc compared to the end of 24Q1. The increase in the speed of scale expansion is mainly due to the Bank of Hangzhou implementing an “early investment, early return” strategy. Looking ahead to the whole year, the growth rate of the Bank of Hangzhou is expected to slow down, mainly considering that it has basically achieved the annual credit growth target by the end of 24Q2. Bank of Hangzhou's loan balance at the end of 24Q2 increased by 94.2 billion yuan compared to the beginning of the year, while the planned increase in loan size for the full year of 2024 is around 100 billion yuan.
