SoftBank aims to double user numbers at its PayPay QR code payment app in the next three to four years, an executive at its domestic internet subsidiary Z Holdings told Reuters on Wednesday, as it seeks to extend its lead in cashless payments. PayPay has used SoftBank's sales network and aggressive rebates to attract 36 million users in the three years since launch, driving a shift to push Japanese consumers to digital payments away from their traditional preference for cash. "We want to double the user base during the investment phase," Z Holdings co-CEO Kentaro Kawabe said in a joint interview with fellow co-CEO Takeshi Idezawa.
Cyprus plans to launch a register in coming months identifying the owners of thousands of companies on the island, lifting a veil of secrecy on opaque and complex corporate structures that campaigners say can help criminals seeking to hide their loot. Details of thousands of companies domiciled on the island, many thought to have Russian links, will be collected from March 16 to be entered in a so-called Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) register. Supporters say the register, a requirement of European Union anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, could be a game changer for Cyprus, which activists say has in the past been a magnet for those concealing wealth behind brass plate companies, lured by competitive tax rates.

MONTREAL, March 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Laurentian Bank Financial Group reported net income of $44.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.96 for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $32.2 million and $0.68 for the first quarter of 2020. Return on common shareholders' equity was 7.1% for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 5.0% for the first quarter of 2020. On an adjusted basis, net income was $47.6 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.03 for the first quarter of 2021, up from $36.9 million and $0.79 for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted return on common shareholders' equity was 7.5% for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 5.8% a year ago. Reported results include adjusting items, as detailed in the Non-GAAP and Key Performance Measures section. “I am pleased to report that we had a good start to the year.

Refer to the Non-GAAP measures section for further details Consolidated Results Non-GAAP measures Management uses both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP measures to assess the Bank’s performance. Results prepared in accordance with GAAP are referred to as “reported” results. Non-GAAP measures presented throughout this document are referred to as “adjusted” measures and exclude amounts designated as adjusting items. Adjusting items relate to restructuring plans and to business combinations and have been designated as such as management does not believe they are indicative of underlying business performance. Non-GAAP measures are considered useful to readers in obtaining a better understanding of how management analyzes the Bank’s results and in assessing underlying business performance and related trends. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to any similar measures presented by other issuers. The following table shows adjusting items and their impact on reported results.

In 2020, restructuring charges also resulted from the reorganization of retail brokerage activities and other measures aimed at improving efficiency. Restructuring charges include severance charges, salaries, provisions, communication expenses and professional fees and charges related to lease contracts. Restructuring charges are included in Non-interest expenses.(2)Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments resulted from a one-time gain on a business acquisition in 2012 and is included in the Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments line item.(3)Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets results from business acquisitions and is included in the Non-interest expenses line item.(4)The impact of adjusting items on a per share basis may not add due to rounding. Three months ended January 31, 2021 financial performance Net income was $44.8 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.96 for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $32.2 million and $0.68 for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income was $47.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 up 29% from $36.9 million for the first quarter of 2020, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.03, up 30% compared with $0.79 for the first quarter of 2020. Total revenue Total revenue was $247.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, up 4% compared with $238.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased by $4.3 million to $173.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $168.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to improved funding costs, mostly as the utilization of secured funding increased, as well as to higher prepayment penalties on residential mortgage loans. Net interest margin was 1.84% for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 3 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2020, essentially for the same reasons. Other income increased by $4.4 million or 6% to $74.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $69.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the strong contribution from capital market activities, which improved by $7.8 million compared with the first quarter of 2020. This was partly offset by a decrease in service charges and VISA card service revenues due to ongoing changes to the retail banking environment, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Provision for credit losses The provision for credit losses amounted to $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared with $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2020, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase year-over-year was mainly due to an increase in allowances on impaired commercial loans. Refer to the “Risk Management” section of the MD&A and to Note 5 to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on provision for credit losses and allowances for credit losses. Non-interest expenses Non-interest expenses amounted to $174.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $14.8 million or 8% compared with the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted non-interest expenses amounted to $170.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $12.4 million or 7% compared with the first quarter of 2020. Salaries and employee benefits amounted to $95.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, essentially unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2020. Year-over-year, higher performance-based compensation related to strong capital market activities was mostly offset by a decrease in salaries reflecting the headcount reduction implemented in 2020. Premises and technology costs were $48.5 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.3 million compared with the first quarter of 2020, mainly as a result of continued efforts to streamline costs, as well as a slowdown of the pace of IT projects. Other non-interest expenses were $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $11.6 million compared with the first quarter of 2020. The improvement mainly resulted from lower regulatory costs, as well as lower advertising, business development and travel expenses, ensuing from efficiency measures and current economic conditions. Restructuring charges were $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 and mainly included severance charges and professional fees. Efficiency ratio The adjusted efficiency ratio was 68.9% for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 76.6% for the first quarter of 2020, as a result of lower adjusted expenses and an increase in total revenue. Adjusted operating leverage was positive year-over-year. The efficiency ratio on a reported basis was 70.4% for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 79.1% for the first quarter of 2020, as a result of lower expenses and an increase in total revenue. Income taxes For the quarter ended January 31, 2021, the income tax expense was $11.7 million, and the effective tax rate was 20.7%. The lower tax rate, compared to the statutory rate, is attributed to a lower taxation level of revenue from foreign operations, as well as from the favourable effect of holding investments in Canadian securities that generate non-taxable dividend income. For the quarter ended January 31, 2020, income tax expense was $2.5 million, and the effective tax rate was 7.2%. Year-over-year, the higher income tax rate is mainly attributed to the proportionally higher domestic income. Financial Condition As at January 31, 2021, total assets amounted to $45.2 billion, a 2% increase from $44.2 billion as at October 31, 2020, mostly due to the higher level of liquid assets. Liquid assets Liquid assets consist of cash, deposits with banks, securities and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements. As at January 31, 2021, these assets totalled $10.5 billion, an increase of $0.9 billion compared with $9.6 billion as at October 31, 2020. The Bank continues to prudently manage its level of liquid assets. The Bank's funding sources remain well diversified and sufficient to meet all liquidity requirements. Liquid assets represented 23% of total assets as at January 31, 2021, compared with 22% as at October 31, 2020. Loans Loans and bankers’ acceptances, net of allowances, stood at $33.0 billion as at January 31, 2021, unchanged compared with the level as at October 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, commercial loan growth resumed, which was offset by reductions in personal loans and residential mortgage loans. Commercial loans and acceptances amounted to $13.2 billion as at January 31, 2021, an increase of 3% since October 31, 2020. Growth in inventory financing volumes resumed in the quarter, reflecting seasonality as dealers begin to restock their inventories despite continued supply chain challenges. Real estate lending also contributed to growth and continued to show resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic amidst the lower interest rate environment. Personal loans amounted to $4.0 billion as at January 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.1 billion or 4% since October 31, 2020, mainly as a result of the continued reduction in the investment loan portfolio, reflecting the continued reduction in the use of leverage by consumers. Residential mortgage loans amounted to $16.1 billion as at January 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 billion or 1% since October 31, 2020. The acquisition of mortgage loans from third parties, as part of the Bank's program to optimize the usage of the National Housing Act mortgage-backed securities allocations, has contributed to mitigating the impact of other repayments. Deposits Deposits decreased by $0.3 billion or 1% to $23.6 billion as at January 31, 2021 compared with $23.9 billion as at October 31, 2020, mainly as the Bank optimized its funding sources to align with its asset level. Personal deposits stood at $18.3 billion as at January 31, 2021, down $0.5 billion compared with October 31, 2020. The decrease resulted mainly from lower term deposits sourced through intermediaries managed down as the Bank increased its debt related to securitization activities to optimize funding costs as described below, partly offset by higher volumes of demand deposits generated through the various direct to customer distribution channels of the Bank. Business and other deposits increased by $0.2 billion over the same period to $5.3 billion, mostly due to an increase in wholesale funding as the Bank took advantage of favourable market conditions to augment its term funding. Personal deposits represented 77% of total deposits as at January 31, 2021, compared with 79% as at October 31, 2020, and contributed to the Bank's good liquidity position. Debt related to securitization activities Debt related to securitization activities increased by $0.4 billion or 4% compared with October 31, 2020 and stood at $10.6 billion as at January 31, 2021. Since the beginning of the year, mortgage loan securitization through the CMHC programs, supplemented by other secured funding, more than offset maturities of liabilities related to the Canada Mortgage Bond program, as well as normal repayments. Shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital Shareholders’ equity amounted to $2,644.9 million as at January 31, 2021, compared with $2,611.2 million as at October 31, 2020. Compared to October 31, 2020, retained earnings increased by $44.3 million as the net income contribution of $44.8 million and other gains related to employee benefit plans and equity securities designated at fair value through other comprehensive income of $19.9 million were partly offset by dividends amounting to $20.4 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased by $14.3 million, essentially as a result of a reduction in the cumulative foreign currency translation amount. For additional information, please refer to the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank’s book value per common share was $54.42 as at January 31, 2021 compared to $53.74 as at October 31, 2020. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 9.8% as at January 31, 2021, compared with 9.6% as at October 31, 2020. The increase compared with October 31, 2020 mainly results from internal capital generation. This level of capital provides the Bank with the necessary operational flexibility to resume growth and to pursue key initiatives prudently, considering the economic conditions.
