This Report meets the disclosure requirements of Law no. 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations, Regulation of the Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) no. 5/2018 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations and Bucharest Stock Exchange Code.
The result for the first three months of 2019 is 88% better than the same period of 2018 (from a loss of RON 19 million in Q1 2018 to a loss of RON 2 million in Q1 2019). These results were backed by a positive evolution of the net banking income by 28% (based on an improvement of the net interest income of 29% and of the net commissions income of 21%) amid continuing actions aimed at consolidating an optimal balance sheet structure with an improvement of the Loan to Deposit Ratio (from 56.61% as at December 31, 2018 to 60.72% as at March 31, 2019) and an increase of the share of the net loans in total assets (from 45% as at December 31, 2018 to 47% as at March 31, 2019). Also, the operating cost base has decreased by 5.6% (if the impact of the increase in the contribution to FGDB of RON 3 million is excluded).
The Bank has started the restructuring program scheduled for 2019 with the aim of optimizing the cost base in direct correlation with providing a viable business model and an internal structure appropriate to it.
On Commercial level: during Q1 2019 the lending activity generated new loans amounting to RON 180 million, with a higher dynamics recorded in the area of legal entities. Even if the sales budget was achieved in proportion of only 88%, this volume of new loans provided an increase of the gross balance of commercial loans of approx. RON 50 million in the area of performing loans, in particular by improving the use of financing lines.
Retail lending activity focused on the mortgage area, following the bank's strategy of balancing the secured and unsecured products portfolio and increasing the volume of long-term exposures in the retail sector. Also, the optimization of sales channels was pursued, both in the direction of increasing sales through "own banking units" channel, as well as by signing new collaboration agreements with the main mortgage brokers.
In the corporate loans segment, the new loans production had a usual dynamics in all business sub-segments, both in the Micro and Agro area (approx. RON 70 million) and in the SME & Small Corporate area (approx. RON 95 million).
The increase in the non-default loans portfolio is of approx. RON 50 million (+4%) and for the loans in default a decrease was registered mainly due from the settlement of the transactions of selling non-performing loan portfolios for which binding offers were concluded in December 2018 (please see details provided in the published IFRS Financial Statements).
As far as the Micro Sub-segment is concerned, the strategy to increase the number of small value vouchers and to spread the risk to a large number of customers has been strengthened. Thus, approx. 92% of all Micro funding in the first quarter are loan applications worth less than EUR 50,000. At the same time, expanding the collaboration with the European Investment Fund (EIF) through the EU guarantee for EaSI loans and the diversification of alternative sales channels provide the premises for continued development in this direction. Specifically, in 2018, the second EaSI loan guarantee facility for micro-enterprises worth EUR 20 million was accessed, loan ceiling to be consumed in full in 2019 (2 years earlier than the initial plan).

Since the start of the program, 63% of the EaSI loans have been contracted by small and very small businesses and around 37% have been contracted by agricultural producers. Most beneficiaries are entrepreneurs with an annual turnover of less than EUR 500,000. Agriculture (37%), trade (around 22%), services (around 16%) and transport (around 13%) are the areas of activity that benefited most from this guarantee scheme.
In the Agro sub-segment, an important pillar of funding is the financing of EU Funds projects.
The Bank's interest in financing companies operating in the field of agriculture is reiterated through the financing provided through the APIA program and by the financing provided for acquisition of equipment and agricultural land.
In the area of SMEs and Mid-Market and Small Corporates, the Bank is constantly focusing on the significant development of the customer base through personalized offers and the development of the quality of the customer management relationship, as the main differentiator.
In the transactional area, non-risk income consolidation activities continued, both in the operating commissions income area (+ 12% vs. the budget) as well as in the currency exchange income area (+ 6% vs. the budget).
On the operational level, in Q1 2019, the Bank continued to improve its lending flows to individuals by automating the end-to-end process and modifying the IT support flows to comply with the provisions of the EU Directive no. 92/2014 and EU Directive 2366/2015 – PSD II. At the same time, the new contactless cards have been issued.
For the next period, the Bank intends to continue its strategy of streamlining processes and significantly reducing operational costs by implementing several strategic projects (such as: implementing a new Internet Banking and Mobile Banking solution dedicated to both individual and corporate clients, finalization of the implementation of a transactional platform according to PSD II standards etc.)
