6 terms

ias 29 financial

"figures of previous quarters of 2025 and 2026 have been restated applying IAS 29"

IAS 29 is an accounting rule that tells companies how to adjust their financial statements when they operate in economies with very high inflation, so numbers reflect current purchasing power rather than outdated prices. For investors, it matters because it converts historic figures into meaningful, comparable values—like updating old price tags to today’s dollars—helping assess real profits, assets and liabilities and avoid being misled by inflation-distorted results.

roae financial

"the annualized return on average equity ("ROAE")"

ROAE stands for Return on Average Equity, a profitability ratio that shows how much net income a company generates for its owners relative to the average amount of shareholder equity invested over a period. It’s like measuring the interest rate a business pays its owners on the capital they’ve left in the company, with the ‘average’ smoothing out swings in equity during the year. Investors use ROAE to compare how efficiently different companies turn owner capital into profits and to assess management’s ability to deliver returns over time.

roaa financial

"the annualized return on average assets ("ROAA")"

Return on Average Assets (ROAA) measures how efficiently a company turns its assets into profit by dividing net profit over a period by the average total assets it held during that period. It matters to investors because it shows whether a business is getting a good return from what it owns—like judging a car’s fuel efficiency by miles per gallon—helping compare profitability across companies of different sizes.

basel iii financial

"28% Capital Adequacy Ratio – Basel III and 28% Tier 1 Ratio"

An international set of banking rules that tells banks how much high-quality capital and readily available cash they must hold and how to manage risk, like a safety checklist for lenders. Investors care because these rules influence how safely banks can absorb losses, how much they can lend, and therefore their profits, dividend capacity and the chance of government support in a crisis — think of it as requirements that trade some short-term profit potential for longer-term financial stability.

View in glossary

tier 1 ratio financial

"28% Capital Adequacy Ratio – Basel III and 28% Tier 1 Ratio"

Tier 1 ratio measures a bank’s core capital — primarily common equity and retained earnings — against the total of its loans and investments after those assets are adjusted for their riskiness. It tells investors how big a loss-absorbing cushion the bank has relative to the risks it’s taken; think of it as the safety margin under a bridge that shows whether the institution can withstand shocks without failing.

stage 3 loans financial

"Stage 3 loans represented 4.1% of total loans"

Stage 3 loans are borrower accounts that accounting rules classify as credit-impaired or in default, where lenders expect a significant probability that some or all of the loan will not be repaid. For investors, stage 3 status signals higher credit risk and leads banks and lenders to record larger loss allowances on their balance sheet, which can reduce reported profits and affect capital strength much like a visible crack warns a homeowner about structural problems.
