The economic growth in 2022 was supported primarily by trade, IT&C, construction and real estate transactions, while agriculture and industry had negative contributions. Both exports and imports of goods and services decreased in Q4 2022 compared to Q3 2022, and the contraction of imports (-9.7%) was more severe than the contraction of exports (-3.3%). The level of GDP in real terms increased by 4.8% in 2022 compared to 2021.

The public budget deficit totalled a very high level in February, respectively RON 13 billion (or 0.8% of the official GDP projection for this year) after it totalled RON 4 billion in January, respectively 0.25% of the official GDP projection for this year, according to data published by the Ministry of Public Finance (MFP).

The public deficit in the first two months of the year represented RON 17.1 billion, respectively 1.07% of the official GDP projection for this year.

The growth of the public deficit in the first months was fuelled by the visibly faster growth of public spending compared to the advance of budget revenues. At the same time, the increase of public personnel expenses, as well as of interest expenses, continued. Also, at the level of social assistance expenses, there was an increase that was supported by the increase of the pension point by 12.5% starting with January 1 st, the increase of the minimum pension to RON 1.125 from RON 1.000, the granting of a financial aid to pensioners with monthly incomes less than or equal to RON 3,000, respectively the granting of the 13th indemnity for people with disabilities.

The Government has proposed to reduce the deficit compared to 2022, with an increase in revenues of 14% for the whole year 2023, over the 10% increase of the expenses, according to the draft of the budget. The Government plans to reduce the budget deficit to 4.4% of GDP from 5.7% of GDP in 2022.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reduced the expectation of real economic growth for Romania to 2.4% in 2023 from an increase of 3.1% as estimated in the autumn forecast, according to the latest "World Economic Outlook" report. Thus, according to the IMF's new forecast, the growth of the local economy will slow down from 4.8% in 2022 to 2.4% in 2023, following that in 2024 to reach 3.7%.

The International Monetary Fund also estimates that the current account balance will continue to adjust to -7.9% in 2023 and -7.7% in 2024, from -9.3% in 2022 and the unemployment rate will remain constant in 2023, at the level of 5.6%, following that to fall slightly to 5.4% in 2024.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI). The intensity of inflationary pressures remained high in the first months of 2023 and the prices of consumer goods and services increased by 14.5% in annual terms (March 2023 compared to March 2022), higher than the forecast of 14.1% made by the NBR in early February. In March inflation entered a downward trajectory as the high monthly inflation dynamics from 2022 will be eliminated from its calculation and the intensity of basic inflationary pressures will gradually decrease. Analysts expect that the NBR to maintain the monetary policy interest rate unchanged at 7% this year.

The rate of non-performing loans at the level of the banking system (according to the definition of EBA) maintained its annual downward trend, reaching 2.66% in February 2023. The non-performing loans ratio was 2.65%, at the end of last year, compared to 2.82% in September 2022 and 3.35% in December 2021. February's value of 2.66% marks the lowest level of the non-performing loans ratio in the last decade.

Banking sector indices concerning the health of the system continue to remain at reasonable levels, giving a capacity to absorb possible shocks. The results of the stress tests of solvency and liquidity show that the banking sector is able to address the key risks that may arise in connection with severe macroeconomic developments. The assets of private equity institutions represented 87.9% in total assets at the end of last year and the assets of institutions with foreign capital represented 68.1%. Also, the solvency ratio was 21.73% in December 2022 compared to 21.52% at the end of September.

  • Total assets, in amount of RON 4.1 billion, show a similar level compared to the end of 2022 due to the slight reduction of deposits attracted from financial institutions, the Bank aiming at optimizing the financing cost and managing liquidity at optimal costs
  • The loan portfolio (net value) registered an increase of 1% compared to the end of 2022 and of 7% compared to March 2022 (RON +140 million. In the first 3 months of 2023, the market highlights a decrease in the lending demand occurred from customers, especially on the Retail segment in the area of guaranteed loans. The reasons for this are the high level of interest rates in the market as well as a level of uncertainty over future developments
  • Interbank financing developed in a positive way, complementing commercial financing and diversifying the sources of financing used by the Bank
  • The own funds show an increase of 3% compared to 31 December 2022 arising from the profit obtained in Q1 2023, as well as from the positive evolution of the revaluation reserves related to the debt securities portfolio (RON +8 Mill. in Q1 2023).

At individual level, the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 18.26%, exceeding the regulatory limit, registering a decrease compared to the level of 20.08% recorded at the end of 2022, being at the March 31, 2022 level, i.e. 18.29%. This is mainly due to the development of risk-weighted assets (the increase in the loan portfolio) and the slight decrease in own funds as a result of the termination, starting with January 2023, of the application in the calculation of own funds of the temporary treatment provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of Article 468 paragraph (3) of Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment companies with subsequent amendments.

At consolidated level, the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 17.80%, exceeding the regulatory limit.

The financial results for Q1 2023 show a net profit of RON 3 million for the first 3 months of the current year, up by RON 2.1 million, respectively +241%, compared to the same period of the previous year. Patria Bank continued the process of consolidating profitability, process which arises from the development of operational revenues correlated with a prudent evolution of the cost of risk. The improvement of profitability in a volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment denotes a sustainable evolution as well as the adaptability of the Bank to the current market conditions.

The main financial milestones reached on March 31, 2023 are presented below:

Increase of net banking income by 6% in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022, evolution supported by all activity components

  • Total assets above the level of RON 4 billion in positive evolution compared to Q1 2022 by 8%
  • Improving the balance sheet structure of the bank by increasing the loans to deposits ratio from 68% at the end of 2022 to 72% in March 2023
  • Increasing investments in debt securities by temporarily placing excess liquidity at competitive yields in line with the evolution of interest rates
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the level of the Total Own Funds Rate of 18.26%, a level recorded as a result of the cessation of applicability of the transitional provisions established by the EU Regulation 575/2013.

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 31 March 2023, the provision for litigation, in which the Group is involved as defendant is in amount of RON 1,688 thousand (31 December 2022: RON 2,030 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.

Carpatica Invest SA (undergoing dissolution)

Considering the dissolving decision and the insignificant impact of consolidating SSIF Carpatica Invest SA, the Group has decided to modify the scope of the consolidation by excluding Carpatica Invest SA.

The criminal case no. 19883/3/2017 * a1, in which Carpatica Invest S.A. has the quality of defendant together with former employees of the Company, accused of committing offences against the law on the capital market (Law no. 297/2004), has been registered with the Bucharest Court, and measures have been ordered to secure the assets of the defendants, including the assets of Carapatica Invest.

The insolvency case 2127/85/2016 pending before the Sibiu Tribunal has a deadline of 19.05.2022 (deadline granted for the continuation of the insolvency procedure in order to definitively solve the criminal case and to clarify the situation of the assets). The next deadline is 08.06.2023 (granted for the continuation of the insolvency proceedings with a view to the final settlement of the criminal case no. 19883/3/2017* which has an effect on the assets that can be recovered in the insolvency proceedings).

In the criminal case no.19883/3/2017* of the Bucharest Court, the following decision was pronounced on the merits (Decision no. 79/2022 of 28.01.2022): conviction of the defendants, as well as the maintenance of the security measures instituted by the orders in the course of the criminal prosecution (seizure), which concern the assets of the defendants, including those of Carpatica Invest. Appeals were lodged against the decision by several

parties. The Court of Appeal (Bucharest Court of Appeal) ruled on 04/06/2023 the termination of the criminal action against the defendants (Carpatica Invest and its former employees) as a result of the fulfillment of the presciption (prescriptie) of the criminal liability.

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 31 March 2023 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.

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).
