Coverage1 and loan loss ratio2

Comments

  • Satisfactory risk reward taken into account margin level on consumer loans.
  • The bank uses a rigorous model for calculating expected loss with calculated values for PD & LGD. These are based on internal history and time value of money principle.
  • The forward-flow agreement, entered into with Kredinor in Q3 2017, reduces downside risk for Easybank as it transfers risk to Kredinor. The agreement is not one-time transaction, but ongoing sales of loans and receivables.
  • The forward flow agreement is fully operational and coverage rate decreases as a result of improvement of LGD values in Loss-model.

1) Coverage = Consumer loans loss provisions / 90 days past due

2) Loan loss ratio = Quarterly consumer loans losses / average gross consumer loans (annualized)
