The Bank's profit before provisions and impairment losses was €52.2 million, which made up 76.2% of the annual projection. With the economic recovery stagnating, the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio registered a further moderate deterioration, as a result of which the Bank had to recognise higher than projected provisions and impairment losses; these amounted to €45.2 million, or 82.1% of the annual projection.
Net loans and advances to customers totalled €3,433.6 million at the end of September, and Nova KBM's market share in loans to the non-banking sector remained flat at 10.2%.

Upon today's release of preliminary results of operations, Matjaž Kovačič, President of Nova KBM's Management Board, said: »Despite continuing adverse market conditions, both in Slovenia and globally, Nova KBM delivered a net profit of €6.2 million. The Bank's market share in loans to the non-banking sector remained flat over the first nine months of 2011, which is an evidence of our ongoing support to the Slovene economy. Nova KBM will be a strong partner of corporate customers also in the future«.
