Executive Summary

Financial results as of September 30, 2021 for the first three quarters of the year show a net profit of RON 7.2 Million, increasing by 20% compared to the same period of 2020, coming mainly from the favorable evolution of the operating revenues but also from the contraction of operating costs that led to an Operating Result with 66% higher (RON +12.2 Million) in Sep-2021 compared to Sep-2020.

The consolidation of the profitability level, with positive results for the first nine months of 2021, represents the results of the strategic decisions that the Bank has implemented, materializing in the following financial benchmarks reached on September 30, 2021:

  • New loans granted more than RON 762 Million during 2021, which led to an increase in the portfolio of performing loans by 16%, respectively RON +265 Million compared to December 2020
  • Improving the Bank's Balance Sheet structure by increasing the share of net loansin total assets to 56% from 52% in December 2020, as well as the increase of the loan to customer deposits ratio from 66% at the end of 2020 to 72% in September 2021
  • Development of operating revenues by 9% on Sep-2021 compared to Sep-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, reversed evolution starting with the fourth quarter of 2021
  • Optimization and reduction of operational expenses by RON 1.7 Million, representing 2% in the first 9 month of 2021 compared to the similar period of 2020
  • The favorable evolution of the operating result in September 2021 (increase by + 66% vs. September 2020), in the context of customers' good payment behavior, allowed the bank to accelerate the reduction of the NPE rate by recording additional expenses with impairment adjustments and include deferred tax additional expenses caused by the expiration of historical tax losses, reporting in September 2021 an increase in net profit of + 20% vs. September 2020
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the Own Funds Rate of around 20% both individual as well as consolidated at the level of the Patria Bank Group.

The year 2021 marks the in-house development of an Online Customer Onboarding Platform for individualsto access remote banking products and services by browsing a 100% online flow, thus potential customers can benefit in 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.

2.1 Macroeconomic and banking environment aspects

After the first nine months of 2021, the budget deficit reached the level of 3.77% of GDP (RON 44.29 Bill.), significantly lower than the same period last year when it reached the level of 6.37% of GDP (RON 67.27 Bill.), and the public debt reached a level of 49.5% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in current year month of July, 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 7.5% 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. According to the latest estimates, the average expectations of specialists for economic growth for 2021 is at 7%.

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. In 2021, once started the 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). 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 August, the NPL rate was 3.65%, improved compared with 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.

Compared to the same period of 2020, the non-governmental loans granted by credit institutions registered an increase of 13.4% (6.7% in real terms), due to the 18.4% increase of the component in RON (11.4% in real terms) and the increase by 2.3% of the component in foreign currency expressed in RON (0.7% if the ratio is expressed in Euros).

Deposits of non-governmental client residents increased 13.9% (7.2% in real terms) compared to September 2020. Deposits of residents in RON, with a share of 64.4% in total deposits of nongovernmental clients, increased by 13.8% (7.1 % in real terms) compared to Sept- 2020. Deposits of households in RON registered an increase of 11.4% (4.8% in real terms) compared to Sept-2020. Deposits in RON of other sectors (non-financial corporations and non-monetary financial institutions) increased by 16.8% (9.9% in real terms) compared to September 2020.

Deposits of residents in foreign currency, converted in RON, representing 35.6% of the total volume of deposits of non-governmental clients, increased by 14.1% expressed in RON compared with Sept-2020 and with 12.4% if expressed in EUR. Foreign currency deposits of households, expressed in RON, increased by 12.7% compared to Sept-2020 (and, if expressed in Euro, by 10.9%). Foreign currency deposits of other sectors, expressed in RON, increased by 18% compared to Sept-2020 (and, if expressed in Euro, by 16.1%).

The quality of banking assets continued to improve: the non-performing loans rate (according to the EBA definition) at the level of the banking system reached 3.83% at the end of December 2020, compared to 4.09% at the end of December 2019. It's improvement trend consolidated, the indicator reaching the level of 3.65% in August 2021.

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 third quarter of 2021, the exchange rate of the national currency Leu against the single European currency (EUR) varied around 4.9300 - 4.9500. We expect that the end of 2021 will not show us a rate higher than 5 RON for 1 EUR.

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. In fact, the National Bank of Romania signaled the increase of the interest rate in October 2021 by 25 basis points and with further 25 basis points starting with November 2021. 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 evolution of the performing loans balance (stage 1 and 2 according to IFRS 9) shows an increase of 16%, +266 million compared to December 2020. The increase of the balance of performing loans being registered on all lines of activity of the bank and the most accelerated trend of balance growth in Sept-21 compared to Dec-20 was registered on Agro + 33%, Micro + 20% and Retail secured loans + 19%.

At the same time, per total, during the first nine months of 2021, the lending activity generated new loans of approximately RON 762 Million, increasing with approx. 28% vs the same period of last year, with a higher dynamic in the area of micro-lending and retail as follows:

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. Thus, in the

first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020, the Bank registered an increase of over 56% in new loans to individuals, a more pronounced evolution in the segment of secured loans of + 72%.

For the Micro activity line, there is an increase of the credit production of 55%, Patria Bank being very active in the first 9 months of 2021. The Bank continued the program developed 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 COVID-19 support measure, as well as increasing the EIF guarantees coverage degree from 80% to 90%. This measure will apply until the end of 2021. In the first three quarters of 2021, loans granted with EASI guarantee represented almost 70% of the new loan volumes granted. At the end of the semester, the cumulative financing on the Easi product reached the level of RON 450 Million at Bank level and over RON 500 Million at the Group level.

Regarding the SME and Corporate Segment, in the first three quarters of 2021, increased funding of approx. 27% compared to the similar period of last year was granted. An important pillar of the growth of loan production in 2021 was the relaunch of the IMM Invest program, approximately 28% of new loans granted in the first three quarters of the year being financed by this governmental program to support small and medium enterprises.

The Bank's expertise and interest in supporting companies operating in the field of Agriculture was fully reflected in the Bank's results. 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). 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 year. 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) signed 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.

The first nine months 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 and the legal entities debtors 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).
    1. 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; The Bank is an active part of the IMM Invest, IMM Factor and Agro IMM Invest programs.

    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.
    1. Encouraging the use of the Internet Banking platform, in the first three quarters of 2021 the turnover of the incoming amounts registered by them through Patria Bank were approximately 44% higher compared to the same period 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 period, most of these exposures were registered as performing loans. 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.

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, biometric authentication for cards and Mobile Banking, enrollment and provision of products and services online or in the direction of solutions that have been tested and will be launched in the next period: online credit or instant payments.

  • Net banking income registered an increase of 9%, wiht RON 11 Million compared to the same period of 2020, mainly due to the income from fees and commissions and financial activity.
  • Loan Interest income was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the evolution of the ROBOR / IRCC interest rate index being directly reflected in the income level, because the loan portfolio is largely granted with variable interest rate. However, the negative impact of the decrease in the interest rate ratio was covered by the increase of the credit balance, achieving an increase of 2%, RON +2 Million in September 2021 compared to September 2020.
  • There is a contraction in interest income related to debt instruments being correlated with the reduction of excess liquidity and the organic growth of the loan portfolio.

  • Total Operating expenses registered a contraction of 3%, (by RON 1.1 Million), compared to the same period of 2020, but on components the evolution is different: decrease of 10% for the expenses with the interests afferent to the commercial deposits and increase on the subordinated bonds issued by Patria Bank in order to consolidate the own funds base - October 2020 issue amounting to EUR 8.2 Million.
  • Operating expenses registered a contraction compared to the same period of 2020 by 2%, with RON 1.7 Million, the Bank taking actions and measures to preserve the profitability of the institution in the COVID-19 pandemic context. An extensive cost optimization process was carried out to adapt to the new market conditions. The decrease of the operational costs was registered exclusively for the non-salary costs and for the salary expenses a slight increase of 3% is observed explained by the consolidation of the employees structure.
  • The net cost of risk registered a significant increase by 69%, of RON 7.3 Million compared to the same period of 2020, based on the increase of new peoduction of loans as well as the more accelerated clean-up actions of the non-performing exposures assumed by the bank in the strategy for 2021. During 2021, write-off operations were performed for the non-performing exposures fully covered with depreciation adjustments amounting to RON 14 Million. At the same time, we mention that the sub-portfolio of loans included in the collective analysis, evolved much better than expected, evolution maintained even after the expiration of the period of postponement of the payment of installments under the moratorium.

The Bank also considered a prudent level of impairment adjustments to anticipate possible risks that may occur in 2021 in the context of the pandemic.

As of September 30, 2021, the Bank presents a Non-performing loans coverage rate with impairment adjustments of 59% according to the presentation methodology for determining the systemic risk buffer. The NPE rate, according to the EBA definition, representing the published ratio for the banking system, shows for Patria Bank a decrease from 10.34% in December 2020 to 8.96% in September 2021.

The bank registered a positive operating result amounting to RON 30.7 Million by 66% higher than in September 2020, when it accumulated only RON 18.5 Million, the dynamics in 2021 arose mainly from the increase of operational revenues, but also with a limited contribution from the reduction of operational expenses of 2%.

On September 30, 2021, Patria Bank improved its operating result (+ 42% compared to Sept-2019 and + 66% compared to Sept_2021) through the organic growth of the performing loan portfolio and the banking operational activity, but still the net profit of the period is affected by the high level of nonrecurring elements that impacted: i) depreciation adjustments of financial assets and ii) deferred tax expenses. Thus, in 2020 the level of cost of risk increased, but this was within the market trends, the bank having a prudent approach in the pandemic context, and in 2021 the clean-up actions of the nonperforming loan portfolio originated before the merger. Therefore, in the context of a good payment behavior of the bank's loan portfolio during 2021, the bank decided to accelerate the clean-up measures of the non-performing loan portfolio (NPL legacy), registering in 2021 adjustments for impairment of nonrecurring financial assets. worth about RON 14 Million. These clean-up measures reduced the NPE to 8.96%.

Also, another non-recurring element with an impact on the net result is represented by the deferred tax constituted historically on the basis of fiscal losses and which must be reversed in line with the related expiration calendar. Thus, the Bank has a much higher deferred tax expense than it would have on a recurring basis for current income tax.

Patria Bank thus managed to report a Net Profit with a continuous positive dynamic, proving the capacity to grow towards a sustainable profitability.
