Anas Abuzaakouk, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of BAWAG Group, discussed the bank's proposed acquisition of PTSB during the Q2 2026 earnings call on July 21, 2026. Abuzaakouk described the transaction as the bank's 15th acquisition since 2015 and said that M&A is a key part of BAWAG's strategy. He stated that the bank has historically been a "serious, committed, and disciplined buyer" and noted that PTSB would be its first public company acquisition. Abuzaakouk characterized Ireland as "a very attractive market" with "pro-growth economic policies" and said BAWAG aims to "drive competition through significant investment and innovation" while supporting PTSB's customers and the Irish economy. During the call, Abuzaakouk also addressed questions about core revenue targets and loan growth. He noted that the bank updated its guidance on the net interest margin to 50 basis points, attributing the trend to a shift toward higher-yielding consumer business. He confirmed that the bank's unsecured synthetic risk transfers are booked under net interest income, while the mortgage portion falls under the risk line, with the risk line including approximately 5 million euros tied to SRT costs.
