2020 Guidance

On track to achieve our expectations for 2020 results although with a different mix

Given current outlook(1) , our assumptions for 2020, excluding revenues and costs related to UK business development, are:

  • Net interest income: confirmed resilient and low risk thanks to the smooth run-off of our bond portfolio, positive effect from volumes (~2.5bn-3bn expected growth of deposits per year) and lending book (~0.8-1bn new production per year), benefit from ECB's tiering, no change in our investment policy with no increase in Fineco risk profile and a more dynamic management of our Treasury
  • Investing: every 1bln change of AuM on 1st May generates ~3.6mln revenues starting from 1st May until year-end
  • Brokerage: acting as countercyclical business. It is expected to remain strong thanks to: 1) the deep reshape of the product offer, 2) the levels of volatility which we expect to be higher than the extremely low levels registered in the past years and 3) to the enlargement of the market (more Italians are interested in financial markets)
  • Banking: banking fees from smart repricing expected to increase by ~20mln
  • Costs: we decrease our guidance(2) to ~4% yearly growth thanks to our strong operating gearing. This guidance does not include up to ~6.5mln of marketing costs in UK. Cost/Income continuously declining in the long run
  • CET1: floor 17%, but we expect to stay at ~18% in 2020
  • Leverage Ratio: very well under control and above 3.5% (for details, see slide 48 in Annex)
  • Cost of Risk: confirmed in the range between 10 and 15 basis points thanks to the quality of our portfolio
  • Net sales: robust, high quality net sales

Our industrial measures

  • New generation of products: FAM contributing in terms of product innovation, operating efficiency and time-to-market
  • New software developments: to improve PFAs productivity also leveraging on Big Data Analytics capabilities (X-Net, Co-Working platform)

April net sales mix improved again after the spike in market volatility during March

March recorded more than 1bn net sales, the highest since December 2015, with a mix reflecting both the flexible and transparent approach of our multichannel platform and the extremely high volatility of financial markets

Improved net sales mix in April (AUM at 69% of total net sales) also thanks to volatility calming down

  • For 2019, the fiscal benefit related to intellectual properties is ~3.5mln
  • The Bank applied in order to renew the fiscal benefit on intellectual properties for the next 5 years. The renewal of the trademark is excluded due to regulation.
  • The Italian Tax Revenue Agency has confirmed our renewal as regards the software of the regime for 2020-2024. As prescribed by law, the Tax Authorities now have to officially validate the use of the methodology agreed for the period 2015-2019. In the meantime, we will assume the same methodology, considering that we have defined our agreement with Revenues Agency few months ago and we don't expect significant changes
