Q1 2026 net profit rises double digits

According to the BRD Q1 2026 financial communication available in the investor and shareholder section of BRD's investor relations site, the bank reported a consolidated net profit of RON 463 million for Q1 2026, up around 18% from roughly RON 392 million in Q1 2025.

The same Q1 2026 release shows that BRD's operating income reached about RON 1.22 billion in the quarter, compared with approximately RON 1.08 billion in the prior year period, reflecting growth of nearly 13% as loan volumes and net interest margin trends remained supportive.

Revenue up around 13 percent in Q1 2026

In its Q1 2026 communication, BRD highlighted that net banking income for the first quarter of 2026 rose to around RON 1.12 billion from roughly RON 990 million in Q1 2025, an increase of about 13%, supported by both interest income and fee and commission revenue.

BRD's management emphasized in the investor document that the cost of risk remained contained in Q1 2026, with risk costs around RON 80 million compared with approximately RON 95 million a year earlier, contributing to the improvement in net profit despite continued investments in digital capabilities and regulatory compliance.

Loan book and capital metrics

The Q1 2026 BRD investor material indicates that the bank's net loans to customers stood near RON 37.5 billion at the end of March 2026, up from about RON 35 billion at the end of March 2025, marking loan growth on the order of 7% year on year.

The bank has continued to invest in card issuing, merchant acquiring, and everyday banking products that support fee income growth, while digital onboarding tools and remote advisory services are intended to improve customer experience and reduce unit costs over time.
