A very simple balance sheet with a strong capital position…

RWA Density: RWA / Total Asset

Note: CET1 Ratio and Total Capital Ratio calculated taking into account net profit of the Q124, net of total dividends to be distributed (payout 50% of net profit)

…coupled with a robust funding and liquidity position

Liquidity Position: excluding pledge accounts amounting to 6.1 €mln

Use of Funding: sum of financial liabilities (red) and refactoring non-recourse transactions (orange)

Securitization: included only for an amount equal to the credit lines approved by banks

Net interest Income fully «hedged» against interest rates volatility

Notes: (1) Calculated as interest expense / average financial liabilities (current and previous year); (2) Spread: average interest rate on seller – average cost of funding (3) (Interest income + delayed payment Interest + other interest)/ average loans (current and previous year); (4) Calculated as Net Interest income/ average loans (current and previous year)

Net commission income, the primary source of profitability

▪ Net Commission Income ~75% of the Net Banking Income

▪ Commission Income/Turnover improving YoY, even with the different mix of the portfolio (Corporate Sellers vs Retail Sellers)

Stable commission expense rate thank to optimization of insurance costs and banking fees

Cost / Income reflecting the efficiency of the operating machine

Cost income ratio 2022 Adjusted (net of IPO costs): 37.7%
