Executive Summary

Financial results as of June 30, 2021 for the first semester of the year show a net profit of RON 6.05 Million, increasing by 27% compared to the same period of 2020, coming from the favorable evolution of both operating revenues and the contraction of operating costs that led to an Operating Result with 85% higher (RON +10.73 Million) in H1 2021 compared to H1 2020.

The consolidation of the profitability level, with positive results from the first semester, represents the cumulation of the strategic decisions that the Bank has implemented, materializing in the following financial benchmarks reached in H1 2021:

  • New loans granted more than RON 492.5 Million during 2021, which led to an increase in the portfolio of performing loans by 10%, respectively RON +174 Million compared to December 2020
  • Improving the Bank's Balance Sheet structure by increasing the share of net loansin total assets to 55% from 52% in December 2020
  • Development of operating revenues by 29% H1 2021 compared to H1 2020 on all components of its structure, this evolution including a negative impact on interest income of approximately RON 7 Million from the decrease of the ROBOR interest index
  • Optimization and reduction of operational expenses with RON 1.4 Million, representing 2% in the first 6 month of 2021 compared to the similar period of 2020
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the Own Funds Rate of around 20% both individually and consolidated at the level of the Patria Bank Group.

The first semester of 2021 also marks the development of an Online Customer Onboarding Platform for individuals to access remote banking products and services by browsing a 100% online flow, thus potential customers can benefitin just a few minutes of financial products and services customized to their own needs. One of the benefits of this platform is the accessibility of rural clients to banking services and the increase of the mobility of the sales force in areas where Patria Bank does not have branches.

Following the analysis of the financial results, the Management considers that the activity of Patria Bank S.A. shows an improvement in the business area correlated with the operations of optimization of the operational costs.

2.1 Macroeconomic and banking environment aspects

After the first five months of 2021, the budget deficit reached the level of 2.3% of GDP, significantly lower than the same period last year when it reached the level of 3.68% of GDP, and the public debt reached a level of 49.7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the first five months of the year, a year marked by the severe effects of the health and economic crisis due to the SARS-Cov-2 virus. For the current year, the public budget forecasts a deficit of 74% of GDP, appearing the need for a wider fiscal consolidation in the coming years.

The Economic growth forecast for 2021 has been revised upwards by the European Commission at the beginning of July 2021, from an initial GDP growth in real terms estimated at 4.2% to an estimated level of 7.4% in real terms, growth based on the solid results recorded in the first quarter of the year.

In 2020, it has been registered a lower dynamic of the trade deficit on the background of a lower domestic consumption, but the exports did not show a very good dynamic in the recently ended year. With the start of economic relaxation as a result of the intensification of the vaccination process, the trade deficit will accelerate its growth, based on a high dynamic of domestic consumption, which is already visible in the accelerated lending activity in recent months.

However, as a result of growing budget deficit and the potential return of domestic consumption, we expect to see additional pressure on the EUR / RON exchange rate, in the sense of depreciating the national currency by 2- 3% in nominal terms for 2021. In fact, from an economic point of view, the twin deficits represent the main macroeconomic risks for Romania (high budget deficit and trade deficit).

In terms of monetary policy, during the first semester of the year, the National Bank of Romania has successively reduced the monetary policy interest rate to 1.25%. This aggressive reduction was accompanied by various liquidity injection measures, such as operations for the purchase of government bonds on the secondary market, bilateral operations with commercial banks or the reduction of the minimum required reserve (in case of Euro). With the reappearance of inflation, the following question arises more and more frequently: when will the NBR start to increase the reference interest rate? We believe that this is possible in the first part of next year, when inflationary pressure will come rather from the demand. Until then, the NBR decided on a constant sterilization (by deposits with a maturity of 1 (one) week) of the excess liquidity on RON. Financial intermediation in Romania remains at the lowest level in the European Union, but the banking system has growth expectations for the coming years, at a relatively low growth rate.

Internationally, the economic uncertainty will persist in 2021 amid the evolution of the pandemic and a still low degree of vaccination. Against the background of the recurrence of inflation, through the so-called reinflation process, it is possible to witness an increase in fixed interest financial assets yields but also a correction in stock markets. The main topic of discussion in the US or the EU is related to the inflationary level (either transitory or not) and how the central banks will react, as well as the opportunity when the "tapering" phenomenon begins.

The NBR's expectations are to increase the rate of non-performing loans (NPLs), especially during 2021, following the gradual elimination of protection measures aimed at ameliorating the effects of the pandemic. (implemented through public and private moratoriums), against the background of the uncertainties related to the economic recovery. According to the results of the stress test exercise of the banking sector conducted by the NBR at the end of 2020, in the baseline scenario, the non-performing loans rate would reach 9.2% in December 2021, and 9.9% in December 2022. In April, the NPL rate was 3.94%, above the level at the end of 2020, of 3.83%.

The indebtedness rate of individuals in Romania is, again, the lowest in Europe, representing 15.4% of GDP in March 2020, compared to an average of 57.9% in the Eurozone. According to an OECD study from 2020, only 53% of adults in Romania had a bank account or debit card. According to the same study, only 23% of adults owned a savings or investment instrument and only 41% had contracted a loan. We believe that these percentages will improve in the coming years, but here too the growth dynamics will be slow, although the authorities as well as the commercial banks are making constant efforts to improve financial education.

The balance of non-governmental credit granted by credit institutions increased in May 2021 by 0.9% compared to April 2021 (0.4% in real terms), to the level of RON 296,269.3 Million. The loans in RON, with a share of 70.6% in the total volume of non-governmental loans, increased by 1.3%, and the loans in foreign currency expressed in equivalent RON, with a share of 29.4% in the total non-governmental loans, decreased by RON 0.4 Million (+ 0.1% when the ratio is expressed in Euros).

Compared to the same period of 2020, the non-governmental loans registered an increase of 10.1% (6.1% in real terms), due to the 15.4% increase of the component in RON (11.3% in real terms) and the decrease by 1.0% of the component in foreign currency expressed in RON (the decrease was 2.5% if the ratio is expressed in Euros).

Deposits of non-governmental client residents increased in May 2021 by 0.6% compared to the previous month, to the level of RON 435,903.8 Million and by 13.7% (9.5% in real terms) compared to May 2020. Deposits of residents in RON, with a share of 65.1% in total deposits of non-governmental clients, increased by 0.5% compared to April 2021, to 283,768.2 million lei and by 15.4% (11.3 % in real terms) compared to May 2020.

Deposits of households in RON decreased by 0.1% compared to the previous month, to RON 156,879.2 Million, and compared to May 2020 recorded an increase of 12.8% (8.7% in real terms). Deposits in RON of other sectors (non-financial corporations and non-monetary financial institutions) increased by 1.2% (up to RON 126,889.0 Million) compared to the previous month and by 18.9% (14.6% in real terms) compared to from May 2020.

Deposits of residents in foreign currency, converted in RON, representing 34.9% of the total volume of deposits of non-governmental clients, increased by 0.8% compared to April 2021, reaching the level of RON 152,135.6 Million (converted in euros, they increased by 0.9%, to EUR 30,923.1 Million). Compared to May 2020, the ratio increased by 10.5%, expressed in RON and by 8.7%, if expressed in Euro. Foreign currency deposits of households, expressed in RON, increased by 0.2% compared to April 2021, to RON 109,688.4 Million; expressed in Euro, they increased by 0.3%. Compared to the same period of 2020, the increase of this ratio expressed in RON was 10.3% (8.6%, if the ratio is expressed in euros).

Foreign currency deposits of other sectors, expressed in RON, increased by 2.4% compared to April 2021, up to RON 42,447.3 Million (2.5% when the ratio is expressed in Euros). Compared to May 2020, this ratio, expressed in RON, increased by 10.9% (if expressed in Euros, the increase was 9.1%).

The level of banking prudential ratios continued to increase and the average value of the Common Equity Tier 1 capital registered by the Romanian banking system on 31.12.2020, of 21.25%, increased compared to the value registered on 31.12.2019, respectively 20.05%

Foreign exchange and money market trends for 2021

In the second quarter of 2021, the exchange rate of the national currency Leu against the single European currency (EUR) varied around 4.8700 - 4.9300. Starting with April, the NBR gave the first signals of accepting a marginally weaker RON, amid rising inflation. Thus, the EUR / RON exchange rate is today around 4.9200 with a potential depreciation somewhere around 5.00 in the second half of this year. This level could be jeopardized with the complete reopening of the economy when the pressure on the current account deficit increases. As another risk factor could be rising oil prices, bringing additional pressure on the consumer price index. However, the NBR has the necessary resources to keep the evolution of the exchange rate under control.

Regarding the medium and long-term interest rate curve, we appreciate that the interest rates for RON reached the lowest level in February 2021, the fear of reflation will lead to the increase of the rates soon. For this reason, we do not see any decrease in the Minimum Mandatory Reserves.

Regarding the "interest on deposits" corridor vs. "Interest on loans", it maintains its margin of - / + 0.5% around the "reference interest rate of monetary policy" and we do not see any change in this instrument either.

2.2 Commercial and operational aspects

On the commercial level, the Bank continued to be an active participant in the specific segments of legal entities representative for its activity (SMEs, Microenterprises and Agro). The addressability continued both in the urban area (with the presence of branches) and in the rural area, through the mobile sales force and dedicated collection and through a superior collaboration with the territorial units of Patria Credit IFN, member of the Group.

The Bank has accelerated the growth strategy of the retail segment (individuals), mainly in urban areas, both by optimizing consumer credit and especially by increasing the area of mortgage loans. YoY, H1 2021 compared to H1 2020, the bank has registered an increase of approx. 69% of the loans granted to individuals.

In total, during the first semester of 2021, the lending activity generated new loans of approximately RON 492.5 Million, with a higher dynamic in the area of legal entities.

At the level of increasing the loan outstanding, it was significantly higher than the average of the banking system on the area individuals of 19.27% compared to 7.85% growth rate of the banking system, YOY June 2021 vs. June 2020 and a similar evolution was registered on the area of legal entities of 14.73% compared to 14.41% growth rate of the banking sector, YOY June 2021 vs. June 2020.

The first semester of 2021 came with the improvement of economic recovery expectations (except for certain sectors still seriously impacted by government measures generated by the health crisis). Patria Bank continued its support for those economic sub-sectors still affected by the crisis, continuing its major roles assumed since the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, by:

  1. Supporting individual debtors and the legal entities affected by the COVID-19 crisis (deferral of payments or restructuring, where appropriate, or by providing financing to cover the temporary liquidity gap)

  1. The role of active financier of entrepreneurs (from unaffected economic sectors and markets where the COVID-19 crisis has even generated development opportunities) and individuals (especially in the real estate acquisitions' area).

Patria Bank continued to support Micro and SME customers during the pandemic, including during H1 2021. The business strategy was adapted accordingly, including by enhancing local or international guarantee instruments. The acceleration of the lending process was achieved also by the constant increase of the number of newly acquired clients, in an adequate risk framework.

    1. Ensuring continuity of the banking services offered to the clients:
    2. both through the permanent operation of the branches and the ATM network
    3. as well as by developing remote operation channels.

The Bank has permanently maintained contacts with legal entities customers who have benefited by payment deferrals, in order to check, in each case, the evolution of cash flow, the capacity to pay, the probability of repayment at the same time with the expiration of the postpone period, additional needs that may arise etc. Throughout the semester, the Bank constantly performed superior analysis and monitoring of the client portfolio to counteract the negative effects of the pandemic and ensure efficient management of the portfolio and the relationship with each client.

Regarding the SME and Small Corporate segment, in H1 2021, financing in the amount of over RON 192 Million was granted, increasing by approx. 56% compared to the same period last year.

An important pillar of this growth was represented by the relaunch of the IMM Invest Program, approximately 37% of the new loans granted in the first semester of the year being financed through this governmental program to support small and medium enterprises.

Also, a constant attention was paid to the relationship with the clients who benefited from the payment deferrals in 2020 and 2021, in order to evaluate the individual financial situation of each client and to act in order to support their additional needs. As a result of constant efforts to improve the relationship with existing customers, by encouraging the use of the Internet Banking platform, in the first semester of 2021 the turnovers recorded by the customers through Patria Bank were about 62% higher compared to the same period in 2020.

On the Microenterprises (Micro) customer segment, Patria Bank was very active in the first half of 2021. The Bank continued the campaign carried out together with the European Investment Fund (EIF) and ensured, with the support of partners, the possibility of doubling the maximum amount granted to a debtor (RON 240,000 / debtor) as a support measure COVID-19 approved by the EIF, as well as increasing the value of the guarantee, from 80% to 90%. This measure will apply until the end of the 2021 year. In the first semester of 2021, EASI guaranteed loans were granted at a level of 67% compared to the volumes of new loans granted. At the end of the semester, the cumulative financing on the EASI product exceeded the level of RON 400 Million.

Overall, the Micro business line, the implemented actions and the intense activity in the business area generated an increase in the credit balance by over 15% compared to the end of 2020.

During the same period, special attention was paid to the qualitative management of the loan portfolio, especially the exposures with deferred installments as a result of the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the activity of entrepreneurs. At the end of the current semester, most of these exposures were in the performing quality area.

Last but not least, the efforts were continued in order to ensure a complete service of credit and non-credit clients, by providing quality services, remaining faithful to the group's mission, that of increasing financial inclusion on this customer segment.

The Bank's expertise and interest in supporting companies operating in the field of Agriculture was fully reflected in the Bank's results in the first semester. In March 2021, Patria Bank was, again, among the first banks to sign the agreement with APIA, and the Bank is still in the top 3 as a user of guarantees issued by the Romanian Rural Credit Guarantee Fund (FGCR).

AGRO's portfolio in Patria Bank is still mainly in the vegetable culture area, due both to the superior expertise that the Bank has in this segment as well as to the superior control of risks. Large vegetable growing in Romania is significantly covered, but most vegetable growers have a small size and, therefore, are served in the area of Microfinancing.

Although in 2020 part of the client portfolio was affected by the drought, the amount of rainfall in the first quarter of 2021 ensured a good crop yield during the current semester.

In the first quarter of 2021, new competitive products were launched dedicated to financing agriculture that cover investments in agricultural land (the maturity of the loan period was increased also), investment products in agricultural equipment were improved (including through a product dedicated to explicit financing of irrigation) and a new credit was launched for General Expenses for a 7 years maturity and a flexibility of use, according to the specific needs identified by the Bank among customers.

Also in support of agricultural producers, through a support department for customers with European funds loans, Patria Bank and the Agency for Financing Rural Investments (AFIR) are preparing a collaboration protocol to facilitate and accelerate the process of absorption of European funds allocated by the National Program for Rural Development (PNDR) for financing farmers and investors in rural areas, in the transition period 2021-2022, related to the 2014-2020 programming period.

We mention that the Bank is an active part of the IMM Invest, IMM Factor and Agro IMM Invest programs.

The commercial activities implemented in the first semester of 2021 generated within the Agro sub-segment, an increase in the outstanding of performing loans by over 27% compared to the end of 2020.

In the Retail area (individuals), the first semester of 2021 meant an acceleration both in lending activity and in the improvement and optimization of products, processes, flows and systems, which led to an increase in the outstanding of Retail performing loans by 9% compared to the end of the previous year, out of which the mortgage loans registered a much faster evolution of 19%.

Patria Bank continued the series of transformations of traditional banking in the direction of solutions already developed around new technologies - internet banking / mobile banking, contactless payments, or in the direction of solutions that have been tested and will be launched in the near future: online account enrollment / opening,

online credit granting, instant payments, biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial identification) or signing the contractual documentation using a qualified electronic signature.

All the promoted products are designed to respond to the still atypical current context. Thus, the mortgage loan with included solutions for space ergonomics or the mortgage loan with zero advance (no cash advance), responds to the growing need for extra space that is registered, especially, by the inhabitants of large urban agglomerations, who still work largely from home.

According to the diversification strategy of the distribution channels, the Bank generated additional sales as a result of attracting a significant number of Online leads and as a result of starting relations with credit brokers (following the signing of partnerships in December 2020).

A distinct objective for the bank in 2021 is related to the acceleration of digitization and financial education programs for customers:

  • Further development of the Bank's Internet & Mobile Banking Platform, Patria Online, with new digital customer options in the transactional relationship with the Bank (the platform is available at https://www.patriabank.ro/noua-platforma-patria-online)
  • Patria Online registered on 30.06.2021 almost a doubling in the number of users compared to the date of customer migration on the new platform (+88%), implemented in the latter part of 2019 and the number of transactions made by customers through the platform increased by approx. 5% vs. the same period last year
  • Promoting Retail current account packages with an important digital component within their structure and with optimized costs for customers
  • Equipping the Bank's clients with over 23,000 products that facilitate remote trading / information (Internet & Mobile Banking Service, SMS Alert Service, Cards and transactional packages)
  • Accelerated continuation of digitization projects: biometric card payment authentication, instant payment, Online Customer Lending, Multi-Functional Machines Program (providing of both territorial units with multi-functional machines and arrangement of self-service areas within the units that will be included in the program)
  • The Online Onboarding Individuals project saw significant progress in H1, which is already entering the pilot phase of customer testing. The platform is developed internally and enjoys an interface that follows the principles and good practices of UI & UX. It will be made available to customers no later than Q3 2021
  • Continuation of the technology project of traditional commercial spaces, such as the project "POS at the Market" which involved the installation of POS terminals in 12 agri-food markets. The number of transactions doubled (increase by 102%) and the volumes traded through POs terminals in the agri-food markets increased by 65% compared to the similar period of 2020; In total, the number of transactions through POs increased by 24%, and their volume by 32% vs. the same period of 2020.
  • Development of the Patria Bank Blog with additional components of financial education and entrepreneurial education. An important focus started in H1 is the promotion of social entrepreneurship and social business models, as well as the promotion of social economy principles.

  • Net banking income registered a positive evolution of 12%, compared to the same period of 2020 (RON + 9.4 Million) trend that was not favored by the evolution of the ROBOR interest index, as well as by the reduced trading volume of the customers in the first quarter due to the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the negative impact of mark-to-market of financial assets evaluated at fair value through Profit or Loss account. Some of these effects have attenuated, and the second quarter of the year shows positive developments compared to the first quarter as will be presented later in the document.
  • Net interest income shows a limited increase of only 1% incorporating the negative impact of RON 7 Million from the decrease of the ROBOR interest index, the increase of interest income in the commercial area being supported by the positive evolution of the loan portfolio balance of RON +267 Million increase in the last 12 months. The loan portfolio held by Patria Bank is mainly granted in RON with variable interest, thus being directly affected by the ROBOR contraction with a negative impact on interest income, in the first six months, being approximately of RON 7 Million. The additional interest income related to the increase of the loan portfolio managed to fully compensate the negative impact of the decrease in ROBOR.
  • Operating expenses registered a contraction of 2%, by RON 1.4 Million, compared to the same period of 2020, the Bank taking actions and measures to preserve the profitability of the institution in the COVID-19 pandemic context and not only. An extensive cost optimization process was carried out to adapt to the new market conditions. The reduction of operational costs was mainly made on operational and administrative expenses.
  • The net cost of risk registered an increase of RON 7.8 Million, 114%, compared to the same period of 2020, against the background of the increase of the credit balance and the intensification of the lending activity, due to the actions established in the NPL strategy in order to diminish the non-performing loans portfolio, as well as to update the parameters used in the calculation of impairment adjustments according to IFRS 9.
  • The Bank registered a positive operating result in the first half of 2021 in amount of RON 23.3 Million, in a positive dynamics of 85% compared to the same period of 2020 and a net profit result of RON 6.1 Million compared to the similar period of 2020 of RON 4.8 Million.

The quarterly evolution of the financial results is presented below, showing a positive dynamics on the main elements and a mitigation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, interest income related to loans granted to customers remains impacted considering the contraction of the ROBOR interest index, but this is offset by the increase in the balance of the loan portfolio and the positive developments in other income categories.

(as an absorbing entity) and former Patria Bank S.A. (as an absorbed entity), which took place on 1st of May 2017. According to the decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders regarding the approval of the merger, the decision to change the name of the absorbing company from Banca Comerciala Carpatica S.A. in Patria Bank S.A. was implemented at the same time with the merger date.

The Registered office: 42, Pipera Road, Globalworth Plaza Building, 8 and 10 Floors, Bucharest, Sector 2, postal code 020112.

As at June 30, 2021 the Bank is ultimately controlled by Investment Fund "Emerging Europe Accession Fund Cooperatief U.A." ("EEAF") sole owner of EEAF Financial Services B.V..

These services include: deposit and current accounts, domestic and international payments, foreign exchange transactions, working capital loans, medium term lending, bank guarantees, letters of credit.

Patria Credit IFN SA – Subsidiary – ("IFN") is a company registered in Romania since February 12, 2004 and it is authorized by the National Bank of Romania ("NBR") to carry out lending activities. Starting with September 28, 2007, IFN is registered with the General Register of the NBR's Non-banking Financial Institutions ("IFN"), and as of February 26, 2008 Patria Credit IFN was also registered with the NBR Special Register.

Patria Credit IFN is specialized in rural lending and microfinance and it is under the control of Patria Bank SA (99,998%).

SAI Patria Asset Management SA (former SAI Carpatica Asset Management SA) – Subsidiary - and the 5 managed investment funds - FDI Patria Stock, FDI Patria Global, FDI Patria Obligatiuni, FDI Patria Euro Obligatiuni, FDI ETF BET Patria Tradeville, authorized by the FSA for the management of open investment funds.

By decision of 24.04.2018, it was ordered to suspend the dissolution or liquidation process, the measure which was challenged by the judicial liquidator and favorably resolved.

The continuation of the bankruptcy procedure depends on the solution adopted in the criminal case and the lifting of the seizure on the debtor's assets.

The insolvency case 2127/85/2016 pending before the Sibiu Tribunal has a deadline of 21.10.2021 and the criminal case is pending at the Bucharest Tribunal and has a deadline of 04.08.2021.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Statement of compliance

The interim consolidated and individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These interim consolidated and individual financial statements were not audited or reviewed.

The interim consolidated and individual financial statements include:

  • Interim Consolidated and Separate Statement of Profit or Loss
  • Interim Consolidated and Separate Statement of Other Comprehensive Income
  • Interim Consolidated and Separate Statement of Financial Position
  • Interim Consolidated and Separate Statement of Changes in Equity
  • Interim Consolidated and Separate Statement of Cash Flows
  • a selection of relevant explanatory notes for the period ending at 30 June 2021.

Notes 1 to 39 are part of the consolidated and separate financial statements. (*) Unaudited / unrevised by the financial auditor. Page 13 from 62

The interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") for the full set of annual financial statements; so, these interim statements should be read together with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

In accordance with Order 27 / 16.12.2010 issued by the President of the Board of Directors of the National Bank of Romania, the Group's annual financial statements at 31 December 2020 were prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Group keeps its accounting records in Romanian LEI ("RON"); RON is also the functional and presentation currency of the Group in accordance with the Romanian Accounting Law and the accounting and reporting regulations issued by NBR and the Ministry of Public Finance.

b) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the initial recognition of financial instruments based on fair value, the revaluation of land and buildings, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, non-current assets held for sale, investment properties and financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are those presented in Note 3 of the Group's Annual Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020.

c) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of Patria Bank SA and all its subsidiaries for the period ended at 30 June 2021 and the comparative financial statements of the Patria Bank SA and all its subsidiaries for the period ended 30 June 2020 or 31 December 2020.

All outstanding balances between Group companies, transactions, income and expenses, losses and gains arising from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Bank. An investor controls an investee when it has power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

The entities in the Group are incorporated in Romania, keep their accounting books and prepare their statutory financial statements as follows:

  • the Bank, SAI Patria Asset Management S.A., FDI Patria Stock, FDI Patria Global, FDI Patria Obligatiuni, FDI Patria EURO Obligatiuni and FDI ETF BET Patria Tradeville in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union;

  • Patria Credit IFN SA in accordance with Romanian accounting regulations.

Notes 1 to 39 are part of the consolidated and separate financial statements. (*) Unaudited / unrevised by the financial auditor. Page 14 from 62

The Bank consolidates the financial statements of its subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 10. The list of Group subsidiaries is presented at Note 1 "Reporting entity".

d) Going concern

The preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements is based on the going concern assumption that involves management's assessments, estimates and hypotheses related to the income, expenses, assets, liabilities, cash flows, liquidity and capital requirements of the Group. The uncertainty in relation to these hypotheses and estimates could determine results that require significant adjustments of the assets, liabilities and capital requirements in the future periods.

Operational considerations

The financial results of the first semester of 2021 show a net profit of 6.0 million lei, increasing by 27% compared to the same period of 2020, arising from the favorable evolution of both operating revenues and the contraction of operating costs that led to an Operating Result with 85% higher (+10.7 million lei) in first semester of 2021 compared to first semester of 2020. The consolidation of the profitability level, with positive results from the first semester represents the cumulation of the strategic decisions that the Bank has implemented, materializing in the following financial benchmarks reached in the first semester of 2021:

  • New loans granted more than 492.5 million lei during 2021, which led to an increase in the portfolio of performing loans by 10%, respectively 174 million lei compared to December 2020
  • Improving the bank's balance sheet structure by increasing the share of net loans in total assets to 55% from 52% in December 2020
  • Increase in operating revenues by 29% H1 2021 compared to H1 2020 on all components of the structure, this evolution includes a negative impact on interest income of approximately 7 million lei from the decrease of the ROBOR interest index
  • Optimization and reduction of operational expenses by 1.4 million lei or 2% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the similar period of 2020
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the level of the Own Funds Rate around the level of 20% both individually and consolidated at the level of the Patria Bank Group.

Capital Ratios considerations

As of 30 June 2021

At individual level the Bank's Capital Adequacy Ratio (Total Capital Ratio) is 20.30%, being over the TSCR limit (11.35%) and over the minimum OCR limit of 13.85% (TSCR plus capital conservation buffer of 2.5%), registering a slight decrease compared to 21.60% level at the end of 2020. The TSCR limit for total capital has been decreased since December 2020 from 11.71% to 11.35% after the completion of the Monitoring and Evaluation Process (SREP) conducted by the National Bank of Romania in 2020. The CET 1 indicator is 15.84%, above the TSCR limit (6.38%) and above the OCR limit (8.88%) and the level 1 own funds rate is 15.84% above the TSCR limit (8.51%) and above the OCR limit (11.01%).

At consolidated level the Group's Capital Adequacy Ratio (Total Capital Ratio) is 19.50%, being over the TSCR limit (11.41%) and over the minimum OCR limit of 14.91% (TSCR plus capital conservation buffer of 2.5% plus 1% systemic shock buffer was diminished in March 2019 from 2% level to 1%). The level of the systemic buffer of 1% is set according to the current NBR methodology for the calculation of one of the parameters that define the matrix of the systemic shock buffer i.e. of the coverage ratio. In March 2019 the regulation covering the calculation methodology of the coverage ratio specifically applicable to banks which acquired loan portfolios (of which value incorporated a market value adjustment) has been modified (through NBR Order 2/26.02.2019 published in the Official Gazette no.213 Part I/18.03.2019). The Bank is qualifying for the level of 1% systemic risk buffer at the end of 2020 and at the end of June 2021. This had a positive impact in the level of minimum capital requirements at consolidated level.

The CET 1 ratio is 15.04%, above TSCR limit (6.42%) and above OCR limit (9.92%) and Tier 1 ratio is 15.04%, above TSCR limit (8.56%) and above OCR limit (12.06%).

The Capital Adequacy Ratio, both at individual level and at consolidated level, does not incorporate the profit obtained by the Bank, respectively by Patria Bank S.A. Group, because they are not audited, a mandatory condition for their incorporation in Equity. Thus, the consolidation of the Equity Rate will be performed at the end of the year by including the profits obtained by the Bank, respectively the Group.

As of 31 July 2021, the Bank complies with capital ratios requirements.

Other considerations

During 2021, the Bank implemented a set of actions designed to ensure compliance with NBR requirements addressed to the Bank. These requirements address both operational and business issues, and their implementation corresponds to the objectives considered by the Bank's management.

The management of the Bank believes that it is appropriate for the going concern principle to be applied in the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements due to business growth plans while optimizing the cost base in order to achieve a sustainable profitability threshold, consolidating the level II capital base and comfortable liquidity position. These factors are set out below:

i) Business plan for 2021

For 2021, the Bank plans to leverage on the income drivers developed during 2019 and 2020, as it plans to continue to increase the weight of the higher yielding assets (loans to customers) in its total assets, implying also a corresponding increase of the risk weighted assets. The increase in the size of the loan portfolio is expected to lead to an increase of the operating income of the Bank, while in parallel the management aims to continue the optimization of the operating costs of the Bank, including the cost of

funding, to achieve the profitability targets. The business plan also includes a continuation of actions started in previous years for decreasing the size of the non-productive assets through a strategy of sale (for those properties classified as Non-current assets held for sale) or a strategy of lease-out (for those classified as investment property). Through the sale actions the usage of the capital base of the Bank will be improved, as these assets are also very capital intensive.

The bank conducted a stress scenario, considering a smaller increase in the loan portfolio, without diminishing impairment losses. The resulting impact on the capital adequacy ratio is not significant

ii) Strengthening the Bank's Tier 2 capital base during 2020

Considering the success of the first issue of subordinated bonds carried out in 2019 in the amount of EUR 5 million, the Bank realized in 2020 a new issue of bonds in the amount of EUR 8.2 million. The 2020 issue was made through a private placement on the capital market, with the date of issue October 5, 2020 having a maturity of 8 years and a fixed interest rate of 6.50% / year.

The subordinated bonds issued are included in the Level 2 Capital of the Group following the approvals received from the National Bank of Romania (October 10, 2019 for the issue during 2019 - PBK27E and October 25, 2020 for the issue during 2020 - PBK28E).

The above-mentioned actions aim to strengthen the capital base during the process of driving lending book growth to reach an optimal balance sheet structure.

iii) Liquidity considerations

As noted above, the Bank has a comfortable liquidity position demonstrated by the level of key liquidity indicators such as LCR (160% at the end of June 2021 – well above the minimum level required for this indicator of 100%) and a ratio of liquid assets to total assets of 34.6%. During 2021 the Bank will have to maintain a level of minimum 100% for the main currencies (RON and EUR) as well for all currencies in equivalent reporting currency RON. The extra liquidity placed at the end of June 2021 in low yielding assets will be gradually shifted to loans portfolio.

Based on all the above, the Bank's management has made an assessment regarding the going concern principle and has concluded that the going concern principle is appropriate as basis for the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements as at and for the period ended 30 June 2021.

e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the interim financial statements according to IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The elements affected using significant estimates and judgments are: fair value of financial assets, impairment adjustments for loans to customers, financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, provisions for risks and costs.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

COVID - 19

The declaration in March 2020 by the World Health Organization of the Covid-19 pandemic prompted a response from the authorities in order to minimize the economic impact of the pandemic.

The response to the Covid-19 pandemic included several forms of postponement of the payment of credit obligations (in order to support the operational and liquidity problems faced by debtors) introduced either by a legislative moratorium (GEO 37/2020 and GEO 227 / 2021), or through a non-legislative moratorium initiated at the level of the banking system.

In addition to the 2 moratoriums above, the Group has designed its program to defer the payment of credit obligations in order to support its debtors in temporary difficulty. The measures fall into the legislative category (in accordance with the code of conduct developed at the level of the banking industry) or nonlegislative.

An additional measure taken by the Romanian Government to support the SME segment was the SME Invest Program. For 2020, the total ceiling of guarantees that could be granted under the program was 20 billion LEI.

The application of the payment moratorium program, at the client's request, did not have a direct impact on the change of the clients' classification by stages (it is not considered a triggering factor regarding the significant increase of the credit risk, this being a general program applied, under certain conditions to consider a detailed financial analysis of each debtor). The definition of credit restructuring has not been modified and continues to identify the request for the restructuring operation of clients in financial difficulties.

The Bank has implemented a continuous monitoring process for all exposures subject to legislative or non-legislative moratoriums. On a quarterly basis, the Bank analyzed the updated situation of each

Notes 1 to 39 are part of the consolidated and separate financial statements. (*) Unaudited / unrevised by the financial auditor. Page 18 from 62

exposure, beyond certain limits, which benefited from a moratorium solution, covering a large part of the portfolio. In addition, on a monthly basis, before the first payment after the deferral period, the Bank analyzed the client's current situation regarding its ability to continue payments, proceeding to the marking in stage 2 or 3, if applicable.

Outstanding payments or the request for restructuring, immediately after the deferral period, are subject to an in-depth analysis to assess the likelihood of a significant increase in credit risk or improbability of payment. Industries at high risk of being affected by the pandemic situation (such as HORECA) have been considered, since the beginning of the pandemic situation, in the category of exposures with a significant increase in credit risk (stage 2).

In January 2021, the Government approved the extension of the measure to postpone the payment of credit obligations until March 15, 2021, for people who have financial difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic. During this period, a number of 70 clients with an exposure of RON 12.8 million requested deferrals for payment.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year, and the impact of applying these new and revised standards was reflected in the Group's financial statements.

a) Changes in accounting policies and the adoption of revised or amended IFRSs

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020), adopted by the EU

The amendment applies, in retrospect, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted, including in unauthorized financial statements as of May 28, 2020. The IASB amended the standard to ensure that tenants are exempt from the application of IFRS 16 by providing guidance on changes in accounting treatment for leases that result as a direct consequence of Covid-19 pandemic. The amendment provides a convenient and practical means for the tenant to consider any change in rental payments resulting from the deferral of rent rates caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, just as the change would be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16, if this was not a modification of the rental contract, only if all the following conditions are met:

  • The change in lease payments results in a revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as or less than the value of the lease immediately prior to the change.

  • Any reduction in leasing payments only affects payments initially due on or before June 30, 2021

  • There are no substantive changes to other terms and conditions of the rental agreement

The changes do not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments) (in force for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021)

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods.

The changes do not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

b) Standards and interpretations issued but not yet in force

The following new standards, changes in standards and interpretations are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and have not been applied to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These changes have not yet been adopted by the U.E.

IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, Annual Improvements 2018- 2020, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IFRS 3 Business Combinations

The IASB has issued amendments, with limited scope, to the IFRS Standards as follows:

  • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for assessing whether a contract is onerous.
  • Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.
  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.

Notes 1 to 39 are part of the consolidated and separate financial statements. (*) Unaudited / unrevised by the financial auditor. Page 20 from 62

The following new standards, changes in standards and interpretations are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and have not been applied to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These changes have not yet been adopted by the U.E.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Presentation of Financial Statements Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments.

The Group intends to adopt these standards when they enter into force.

IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The Group intends to adopt these standards when they enter into force.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture

The Amendments clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business, such that:

  • a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction between an investor and its associate or joint venture involves the transfer of an asset or assets which constitute a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not), while

a partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction between an investor and its associate or joint venture involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. The Group intends to adopt these standards when they enter into force.

Statutory legal reserves

Statutory reserves represent accumulated transfers from retained earnings in accordance with relevant local regulations. These reserves are not distributable. Local legislation requires 5% of the Group's and its subsidiaries net statutory profit to be transferred to a non-distributable statutory reserve until such time this reserve represents 20% of the statutory share capital.

Reserves for general banking risks include amounts set aside in accordance with the Banking legislation and are separately disclosed as appropriations of statutory profit. These reserves are not distributable. According to the Romanian legislation in force the reserves for general banking risks were set aside starting with 2004 financial year until the end of the 2006 financial year.

36. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit related commitments

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit, which represent irrevocable assurances that the Group will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties, carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit, which are written undertakings by the Group under specific terms and conditions, are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate or cash deposits and, therefore, carry less risk than a direct borrowing.

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments, if the unused amounts were to be drawn down. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit related commitments, because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

Outstanding loan commitments have a commitment period that does not extend beyond the normal underwriting and settlement period.

The Group provides also letter of guarantees and letters of credit on behalf of the customers. The contractual amounts of commitments and contingent liabilities are set out in the following table by category. Many of the contingent liabilities and commitments expire without being funded in whole or in part, therefore, the amounts do not represent expected future cash flows.

The amounts reflected in the table as commitments assume that amounts are fully advanced. The amounts reflected in the table as guarantees and letters of credit represent the maximum accounting loss that would be recognized at the balance sheet date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted.

For provisions for credit related commitments refer to Note 28.

Provision methodology for computing expected credit loss for credit commitments is the same as for the on balance exposures , the only difference being the credit conversion factor applied for transforming the undrawn. in Regarding the CCF component, the Bank decided to use the regulatory CCFs.

Transfer pricing

Romanian tax legislation includes the arm's length principle according to which transactions between related parties should be carried out at market value. Local taxpayers engaged in related party transactions have to prepare and make available upon the written request of the Romanian Tax Authorities their transfer pricing documentation file.

Failure to present the transfer pricing documentation file, or presenting an incomplete file, may lead to noncompliance penalties; additionally, notwithstanding the contents of the transfer pricing documentation, the tax authorities may interpret the facts and transactions differently from management and impose additional tax liabilities resulting from transfer price adjustments. Despite the fact that the tax authorities might challenge the implementation of the transfer pricing requirements by the Group, the Group's management believes that will not suffer losses in case of a fiscal inspection on the subject of transfer prices. However, the impact of any change of the tax authorities can't be estimated reliably. It may be significant for the financial situation and / or the overall operations of the entity.

Litigations

At 30 June 2021, the provision for litigation, in which the Group is involved as defendant is in amount of RON 1,581 thousand (31 December 2020: RON 1,787 thousand).

The management of the Group considers that they will have no material adverse effect on the results and the financial position.

Provisions for litigations are made mainly for disputes that concern the actions of borrower's private individuals, by requesting cancellation of clauses deemed unfair in credit agreements.

37. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are generally considered to be related if the parties are under common control, or one party has the ability to control the other party or can exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.

The Group entered into a number of transactions with its related parties in the normal course of business. These transactions were carried out in the normal course of business on commercial terms and conditions and at market rates.

The Group performed related party transactions during period ended 30 June 2021 with EEAF Financial Services B.V. (immediate parent), the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Executive Management and Bank's employees that hold key-functions.

EEAF Financial Services B.V.(EEAFSBV) is owned and fully controlled by Emerging Europe Accesion Fund Cooperatief UA.

38. LEASES

A. Leases as lessee (IFRS 16)

The Group leases a number of branch and office premises. The leases typically run for a period up to 10 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. For some leases, payments are renegotiated every five years to reflect market rentals. Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are based on changes in local price indices. The Group has in place some contracts for premises that are running for a period less than one year for which the Group decided not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The Group also leases IT equipment, ATMs and cars with contract terms up to five years for which the Group recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Previously, these leases were classified as operating leases under IAS 17.

Right-of-use assets relate to leased branch and office premises that are presented within property and equipment (see Note 23).
