Operating profit development in Q2 2022 (in HRK mn)

- Record net profit of HPB Group of HRK 1.1 bn as a result of a bargain purchase resulting from the difference between the fair value of the acquired net assets of NHB and the acquisition cost of that bank
- HPB's operating profit in H1 2022 reduced due to the loss from the adjustment of the book value of bonds to market prices and the absence of the effect of certain one-off transactions, while inflationary pressures and deposit insurance expenses inevitably had an impact on operating expenses
- Despite the decrease in operating profit, HPB continues to record solid positive results and create value for shareholders with a net profit of HRK 57.8 mn
- NHB's contribution to HPB Group's operating result amounts to HRK 28.5 mn (result after HPB took control over NHB)
- Changes in methodology and parameters for provisioning calculation to align with the group policy, as well as increased provisions for court cases (CHF loans) led NHB to a loss of HRK - 35.3 million.
Acquired NHB's human and financial capital led to additional strength for growth
Composition of operating income (in HRK mn) 30.6.2022

Composition of operating expenses (in HRK mn) 30.6.2022

Additional provisions due to alignment with the more conservative standards of the HPB Group
Structure of net provision expenses (in HRK mn) 30.6.2022

- Stage 1&2 changes in macroeconomic parameters on NHB's performing portfolio had most significant impact
- Stage 3 result of successful collection activities and recovery of part of the NPL portfolio
- Other provisions mostly relate to litigations; largest impact on the volume of provision expenses had the increase in legal provisions for loans in CHF in NHB portfolio.
