The equity attributable to the Bank's shareholders went up to NIS 14,543 million, reflecting a 11.3% growth rate compared to the prior-year period. The Tier 1 capital ratio is 11.39%, which exceeds the regulatory capital requirement by 2.16% and facilitates the continued growth of the Group's operations.

High-quality loan portfolio: the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio (the rate of non-accruing loans or loans that are 90 or more days past due out of the total credit to the public) is 0.46%, compared to 0.57% for the prior-year period.

The tax rate increase mainly stems from income attributed to previous years for the prior-year period and an increase in the special fee applicable to banks.

The Board of Directors will continue to discuss the implementation of the Bank's dividend distribution policy in light of recent developments and their impact on the economy and on the Bank.

Management Comment

Eli Cohen, CEO of the First International Bank of Israel: "The First International Bank's results for the third quarter reflect resilience and strength, as well as our ability to deliver continued rapid growth in our core strategic focus areas: deposits and customer assets have grown rapidly, surpassing NIS 1 trillion, and the loan portfolio continues to grow while maintaining high quality of credit and a balanced risk profile.

"There is a great sense of optimism in the air as we celebrate the return of the living hostages and the progress on the ceasefire agreement. The economy has remained stable during the protracted and costly war, primarily because the country entered the conflict in strong condition following two decades of growth, with a thriving high-tech sector, a consistently declining debt-to-GDP ratio, a robust financial system, and substantial foreign currency reserves.

"The Israeli economy is now at an inflection point with potential for growth, especially noting the possibility of expanding the regional Abraham Accords. The situation remains fragile, and we must act responsibly so that the country and the economy successfully navigate the coming challenges as we continue to make progress toward resuming growth.

"I would like to thank the Bank's employees for their tireless dedication during these difficult times, and for their unwavering loyalty, professionalism, and commitment to the Bank and its customers, and to express hope for the return of the remaining fallen hostages to home to Israel for proper burial."
