Oma Savings Bank Plc raises its medium-term profitability target

At its meeting on 23 September 2021, the Board of Directors of Oma Savings Bank Plc (OmaSp or Company) has updated its financial goals as part of its strategy process and raises its medium-term strategical (3-5 years) profitability target. The updated target level for the cost/income ratio is less than 45 percent as of 1 October 2021, instead of the previous 55 percent.

CEO Pasi Sydänlammi
“We have managed to significantly improve the company’s operating efficiency in both the current and previous financial years, but it is seen that operations can be further improved. We raise the target level for the cost/income ratio by 10 percentage points since the beginning of October. The new 45 percent target level is very exceptional in the banking sector and we see excellent efficiency as a significant strength and competitive advantage. Profitability and performance are at the centre of everything we do. OmaSp’s strategy relies heavily on profitable growth, a straightforward business model and effective risk management.”

The company’s Board of Directors has confirmed the following financial goals as of 1 October 2021:

  • Growth: 10-15% annual growth in total operating income under the current market conditions.
  • Profitability: Cost/income ratio less than 45%.
  • Return on equity (ROE): Long-term return on equity (ROE) over 10%.
  • Capital adequacy: Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio at least 14%.
