KBC Ancora recorded a positive result of EUR 37.0 million in the first half of the financial year 2013/2014. This compared with a negative result of EUR 16.0 million for the same period in the previous financial year. This result was principally due to non-recurring income from the sale of KBC Group shares, plus the repurchase of a loan in November 2013.
