BoI expects eps growth of 9%
27/09/2005 - 07:10:48In a trading statement issued today ahead of the close period for the half-year ending September 30, Bank of Ireland says it expects underlying earnings per share (eps) to grow by around 9%.
The upcoming results will include a gain on the disposal of the bank’s interest in the Bristol & West network (€176.7m), but will also take into account implementation costs for the bank’s Strategic Transformation Programme.
CEO Brian Goggin said: “The continuing strength of our Irish businesses, together with the emerging benefits of investment in the UK, and niche international businesses focused on high-growth sectors, and the delivery of the Strategic Transformation Programme, provides us with a foundation for sustained growth.”
