Bank Handlowy's Q1 profit exceeds market expectations

A year earlier this figure stood at zl.236 million, however 37% of this amount came from a one-off transaction. Therefore, the latest figure shows that the company has significantly improved its result on its core operations. "No analyst expected such a result. On average they estimated that we will be zl.145 million in the black," said BHW president Slawomir Sikora. The head of BHW did not disclose any forecasts, but he expects the trend to last. This means that the bank could for the first time in its history record an annual net profit exceeding zl.800 million. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) A.K.
