KBC Ancora recorded a profit of EUR 529.7 million in the financial year 2020/2021, equivalent to EUR 6.76 per share. This compares with a profit of EUR 60.8 million in the previous financial year. The result was due in very large part to the reversal of the remaining impairments on the participating interest in KBC Group (EUR 511.7 million). The recurring result for the financial year 2020/2021 (EUR 18.0 million) was determined on the one hand by the income from the dividend received on the participating interest in KBC Group (EUR 34.1 million), and on the other by the operating costs (EUR 2.4 million) and interest charges (EUR 13.8 million).
The result in the second half of the financial year was EUR 537.8 million, or EUR 6.87 per share. The recurring result for the second half of the financial year was EUR 26.0 million.
KBC Ancora distributed a gross interim dividend of EUR 0.20 per share on 10 June 2021 and, as already announced, will not pay a final dividend.
