Banca Monte Pruno: growth continues. United in values, strong for the future.

The current year confirms Banca Monte Pruno 's strong ability to improve its performance, combined with the expansion of its reference market and development opportunities.

In addition to the satisfactory economic and financial results, the Bank , during the first half of the year, has implemented a territorial development action preparatory to the next strategic initiatives, as already announced during the last Shareholders' Meeting and in perfect coherence with the development guidelines of the parent company Cassa Centrale .

The Bank's territorial jurisdiction has been expanded to include the attractive Agro-Nocerino Sarnese area, as well as part of the Amalfi Coast.

The territory in which BCC Monte Pruno operates today therefore exceeds 100 municipalities , divided between the provinces of Salerno, Avellino, Potenza and Naples.

Six new municipalities (Nocera Inferiore, Pagani, Ravello, Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino, Corbara and Lettere) have officially joined the operational area, bringing the potential reference market to the threshold of 800 thousand units .

Turning to financial results, Banca Monte Pruno confirmed its steady growth trend, consolidating its position within the cooperative credit landscape.

The growth in assets under management sees total collections exceeding 1 billion and 327 million euros, with a positive half-yearly variation of 60 million , of which approximately 40 million euros in managed and administered savings, demonstrating an increasingly oriented propensity to guarantee good profitability with a low risk profile.

Also notable is the trend in customer financing to support the real economy, with a 27% increase in loans granted compared to June 2024, confirming the institution's cooperative vocation, which is concretely aligned with the needs of local businesses and families.

The main budget indicators also reflect dynamic management, capable of best supporting the needs of the communities served.

Compared to the first half of last year, both the interest margin and net commissions increased by 6%.

These values, together with an ever-careful management of company costs, in line with the previous period, have determined a half-yearly net profit exceeding 3.1 million euros , an 11% increase compared to June 2024.

This performance allowed the Bank to reach a CET 1 ratio of 20.5% , a figure which confirms the company's growing solidity.

" We are particularly pleased ," emphasized Chairman of the Board of Directors Michele Albanese , " with the results generated by the structure, which confirm our solidity and ability to create value. It is also exciting to have successfully completed the expansion of our territorial scope, which opens up very exciting future prospects. With this expansion, we are ready to intensify our presence in a region with enormous growth prospects. I would like to thank the new shareholders residing in the Municipality of Tramonti who have placed their trust in our Bank, enabling us to bring our development projects in the new area to fruition ."

" The first half-year results ," commented General Manager Cono Federico , " are the fruit of a great deal of commitment from the entire organization, which I would like to thank. This commitment, however, obviously must continue with increasing intensity to provide concrete responses to the community we serve. The performance is in line with our plan, placing a strong focus on supporting local families and businesses. We are continuing along this path in the second half of the year, where we have initiated our operational approach to the Agro-Nocerino Sarnese area. The Bank will have new opportunities, especially since Nocera Inferiore is among the new municipalities, which represents the most targeted area. This is also thanks to the projects shared in the strategic plan with our parent company Cassa Centrale Banca. This will allow us to open a new branch in the coming months and bring our banking model to Nocera Inferiore, where there is currently no cooperative bank."
