5. Macroeconomic and banking environment

Economic growth. The GDP level in Q2 2023 was 0.9% higher than in Q1 2023, an increase of 1.1% on gross series and by 2.7% on seasonally adjusted series compared to Q2 2022. In Q1 2023, the GDP grew by 2.8% seasonally adjusted series, and by 1.7% in real terms, compared to Q1 2022. As for the gross series, the estimated GDP for Q1 2023 was RON 690.02 billion, while, for the seasonally adjusted series, the estimated GDP was RON 790.41 billion at current prices.

The following industries contributed particularly to GDP growth in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022: wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, transport and storage, hotels and restaurants (+0.5%), with a share of 21.3% in GDP formation and which recorded an increase in the volume of activity by 2.2%. A negative contribution to GDP growth was recorded by the industry sector (-0.7%), with a share of 21.6% in GDP formation and which recorded a decrease in the volume of activity by -3.3%.

The IMF predicts economic growth for Romania of 2.2% this year and of 3.8% in 2024. The IMF forecast of economic growth for Romania in 2024 (3.8%) is much higher than the forecast for the region: 3.1% in Hungary, respectively 2.3% in the Czech Republic and Poland.

Public budget deficit. After the first eight months of 2023, the budget deficit increased slightly up to 2.65% of GDP, i.e. RON 42.19 billion, compared to RON 32.98 billion, representing 2.34% of GDP for the first eight months of 2022, as pe the most recent data published by the Ministry of Finance.

Total revenues in the first eight months of the year were RON 330.47 billion, with an annual increase of 12.5%, and expenses reached RON 372.66 billion, up by 14% compared to the previous year. The increase in revenues was supported by higher income from payroll tax, social security contributions, corporate income tax, European funds and additional revenues from the energy sector. Expressed as a percentage of the GDP, budget expenditures for the first eight months of 2023 registered an increase of 0.2% compared to the same period of 2022, from 23.2% of GDP to 23.4% of GDP.

We note that the package of measures proposed by the Romanian Government mainly aims at an increase in the public revenues, its impact on the reduction of budget expenses being a small one. Additionally, almost all measures will enter into force at the beginning of 2024, so a noticeable impact on the reduction of the public deficit will materialize starting next year.

According to the new forecasts of the IMF, regarding Romania's current account deficit, the IMF expects only a slight reduction, from 9.3% of GDP in 2022, to 7.3% of GDP in 2023 and 7, 1% of GDP in 2024. In April, the IMF estimated a current account deficit of 7.9% in 2023 and 7.7% in 2024.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Romania registered a slow decrease from 9.4% to 8.8% in August 2023 compared to August 2022. Consumer goods prices increased by 0.8% in September 2023 from the previous month and by 5.7% compared to the end of last year. The highest price increases(1.1% vs. August 2023), were registered by non-food goods and services.

The National Bank of Romania (NBR) estimates the annual inflation rate will decrease until the end of the current year, in line with the medium-term forecast. This is due to the base effect, the downward corrections of prices of some goods, the rich domestic agricultural harvest and temporary caps on the mark-up for basic food products.

The NBR forecasts for inflation were adjusted upwards in August 2023. Thus, the annual inflation rate is estimated at 7.5% at the end of the current year and at 4.4% at the end of 2024.

The solvency ratio was 22.83% in June 2023, compared to 23.4% at the end of December 2022.

  • Total assets, in amount of RON 4.1 billion, show a slight decrease compared to the end of 2022 the excess liquidity being invested in Government Bonds and loans granted to customers. The Bank's liabilities show a contraction of deposits from customers, the Bank aiming to optimize financing cost and manage liquidity at optimal costs, choosing to be more selective in the case of several high-value deposits with high financing cost
  • The loan portfolio (net value) registered an increase of 2% compared to the end of 2022. In the first 9 months of 2023 the market showed a decrease in lending demand, especially in the Retail segment, in the area of mortgage loans, but also in the Micro segment. The reasons for this evolution are the high level of interest rates in the market as well as a level of uncertainty over future macroeconomic developments
  • Own funds show an increase of 10% compared to 31 December 2022 arising from the profit obtained in the first 9 months of 2023, as well as from the positive evolution of the revaluation reserves related to the debt securities portfolio (RON +15 million in first 9 months of 2023).

At individual level, the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 20.26%, exceeding the regulatory limit and above the level recorded at the end of 2022 when the ratio was 20.08%.

At consolidated level, the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 19.90%, exceeding the regulatory limit.

  • Net banking income registered a small increase of 2% compared to the same period of 2022 with a positive dynamic in the fees and commissions income segment due to the increase of client transaction activity, the number of POS, as well as from the financial activity where an increase in revenues by 29% was recorded in the first 9 months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022
  • As for interest income, the Bank recorded an increase of 36% compared to the same period of the previous year, the evolution being generated by the interest income related to commercial loans, as well as by income related to the portfolio of debt securities in which the bank has temporarily invested excess liquidity
  • Interest expense recorded an increase of RON 60.7 million compared to the same period of 2022. The increase is determined by the evolution of interest rates paid for deposits attracted from non-banking clients, in line with the increase of the monetary policy rate in the last 12 months as well as with the evolution of the ROBOR and EURIBOR indexes. Thus, for the national currency, the market showed a stabilization of interest rates, and even a decrease in the last 2 months in case of Euro, the financing cost being on an upward trend.

The cost of financing for deposits attracted from clients is updated gradually at the maturity of the deposits, the process being slower and lasting up to 12 months, compared to the updating of the interest rates on loans which is carried out generally every 3 months (3 month index). The Bank's loan portfolio is composed mainly of loans with variable interest rate.

  • Net commissions income shows a positive evolution of 10% generated mainly by the increase in customer transaction activity and trade finance and bancassurance activities
  • Operational expenses recorded an increase of 1% (+RON 0.9 million) at a lower pace than the evolution of net banking income of +2%, wage costs being influenced by inflationary pressure
  • The net cost of risk recorded a prudent evolution, recording a small increase of only 2% (RON 0.3 million), the bank continuously monitoring the loan portfolio for an adequate management of credit risk taking into account the uncertainties that manifest in the market
  • The Bank recorded a positive operational result for the first 9 months of 2023 in amount of RON 36 million and a net result of RON 15 million, both being at similar levels with the ones recorded in the same period of 2022.

8. Conclusions

Financial results recorded by Patria Bank at September 30, 2023 show a net profit of RON 15 million for the first 9 months of the current year, at a level similar to that recorded in the same period of the previous year (RON 14.9 million). The Bank continued the process of developing operating income correlated with a prudent evolution of the cost of risk. Improving profitability in a volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment shows a sustainable evolution as well as the Bank's adaptation to current market conditions.

The main financial figures recorded at September 30, 2023 are presented below:

Increase of net banking income by 2% in the first 9 months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, an evolution supported mainly by the net commission income and by the financial activity

  • Optimal management of operational costs in an inflationary environment, these costs registering an increase of only 1% compared to the level recorded in September 2022
  • Operating result of RON 36 million, up by 4% compared to the same period of the previous year
  • The bank's equity shows an increase by RON 33 million in the first 9 months of the year, +10% compared to December 2022
  • Improving the balance sheet structure of the bank by increasing the loans to deposits ratio from 68% at the end of 2022 to 73% in September 2023
  • Increasing investments in debt securities by 15% vs. 2022 through temporarily placing excess liquidity at competitive yields in line with the evolution of interest rates
  • The strategy to reduce non-performing exposures continued in 2023 with very good results. The Non-Performing Exposure Ratio (NPE) decreased from the level of 6.02% in December 2022 to 5.54% in September 2023, while the coverage rate of non-performing loans with impairment adjustments increased slightly to 58%
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the level of the Total Own Funds Rate of 20.26%, level recorded as a result of the cessation of applicability of the transitional provisions established by 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.

Commitments related to credits

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

Notes 1 to 39 are part of the consolidated and separate financial statements. (*) Unaudited / unrevised by the financial auditor. Page 44 from 51

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 September 2023, the provision for litigation, in which the Group is involved as defendant is in amount of RON 1,634 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 09.11.2023 (granted for the continuation of 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 30 June 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.

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).
