Financial results recorded by Patria Bank at September 30, 2024 show a net profit of RON 27.4 million for the first 9 months of the current year, representing an increase of 82% compared to the same period of the previous year

November 15, 2024

Financial results recorded by Patria Bank at September 30, 2024 show a net profit of RON 27.4 million for the first 9 months of the current year, representing an increase of 82% compared to the same period of the previous year, a result that incorporates the new tax on turnover of 2%, amounting to RON 5.9 million, applicable to credit institutions starting with 2024, and in the absence of which the Bank would have reported a net result of RON 33.2 million. This result represents an accumulation of multiple steps to improve commercial performance (by consolidating the team, internal products and processes), financial position and performance, under conditions of good risk management.

The Bank has proved a solid capacity to adapt and a sustainable grow through an integrated strategy that has increased the profitability, has diversified and increased funding sources, managing to reduce the cost of funding and has streamlined operational processes. The decrease in NPLs and the reduction in the cost/income ratio (cost/income ratio -2% vs. September 2023) are clear signs of prudent and efficient financial management and a sustainable business model.

The Bank also had the capacity to absorb additional costs (for example: 2% turnover tax), as well as the increase in existing costs, generating additional income and managing to increase profitability ratios (RoA and RoE) and reporting an increasing net result (+82% compared to the first 9 months of 2023).

The main financial figures recorded at September 30, 2024 are presented below:

  • Total assets grew by 5%, supported by credit expansion and a prudent but profitable investment policy. Diversification and increased funding sources were key factors in expanding the asset base, maximizing profitability as compared to December 2023 (RoA 0.9% from 0.6%; RoE 8.8% from 6.2%).
  • Increase of net banking income by 13% in the first 9 months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, due to the expansion of the loan portfolio, the reduction of the financing cost by diversifying financing sources and the reorientation towards shorter-term sources correlated with actions to increase current accounts by diversifying products and services and increasing customer transactional behavior.
  • Maintaining on optimal balance sheet structure, the loan to deposit ratio registering a level of 74% compared to 70% at the end of 2023
  • Increase in Loans and advances granted to customers by 14% compared to 2023 → the growth of the loan portfolio was bifurcated between organic expansion which remains a predominant strategic directive and the acquisition in September 2024 of a performing consumer loan portfolio from Alior Bank worth RON 69 million lei, which accelerated the income-generating asset base.
  • Increasing investments in debt securities by 4% vs. 2023 through temporarily placing excess liquidity at competitive yields, in line with Capital Market conditions
  • The strategy to reduce non-performing exposures continued in 2024, the Non-Performing Loans (NPL) Ratio was reduced through rigorous preventive strategies, including increased monitoring activity and the initiation of proactive measures to support customers. The intensification of collection and

recovery processes, correlated with write-off operations, contributed to the reduction of nonperforming loan exposure, allowing for a better allocation of capital. Thus, the Non-Performing Exposure (NPE) Ratio decreased from 5.5% in September 2023 to 4.7% in September 2024, while the coverage rate of non-performing loans with impairment adjustments increased slightly to 59%

  • The bank's equity increased by RON 33 million in the first 9 months of the year, +8% compared to December 2023, the main contributor being the profits obtained by the bank
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the level of the Total Own Funds Rate of 21%.

5. Macroeconomic and banking environment

GDP growth. The evolution of real GDP in Q2 2024 indicates economic activity continued to perform poorly. According to revised data from the National Institute of Statistics (INS), real GDP increased by only 0.9% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. This increase was far below the expectations of analysts. The economic ratios published monthly continued to register mixed developments in Q2 2024.

As a result of the poor performance in the first half of the year, analysts have revised their GDP growth expectations for 2024 from 2.8% to 1.6%.

Public budget deficit. The execution of the general consolidated budget in the first nine months of 2024 ended with a deficit of RON 96.24 billion, respectively 5.44% of GDP, compared to a deficit of RON 56.46 billion, respectively 3.52% of GDP recorded for the nine months of 2023, according to data provided by the Ministry of Finance.

Total revenues amounted to RON 415.98 billion in the first nine months of 2024, registering an advance of 13.0% (year/year), supported by collections coming from current revenues - insurance contributions, VAT, salary and income tax, income tax, excise duties and non-fiscal revenues.

Expenses of the general consolidated budget, of RON 512.22 billion, increased in nominal terms by 20.7% compared to the same period of the previous year. Expressed as a percentage of GDP, expenditures for the first nine months of 2024 registered an increase of 2.5% compared to the same period of 2023, from 26.5% of GDP to 29.0% of GDP.

In September 2024, on the occasion of the rectification of the public budget, the Government increased the public deficit target for this year to 6.9% of GDP, according to the national methodology.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased to 4.6% in September from 5.1% in August 2024. Prices of consumer goods increased by 0.33% in September compared to August. The decrease of the CPI was almost exclusively supported by the favorable base statistical effect. Otherwise, the intensity of basic inflationary pressures remained at high levels in September.

The CORE3 core inflation measure increased by 5.6% in September 2024 compared to September 2023, with an annual advance of 3.7% in the processed food segment and 6.9% in the non-food goods and services segment of the CORE3 structure.

The market's expectations are that intensity of core inflationary pressures will remain high in the next period, given the rapid increase in real available income of the population and of wages in the economy.

The CPI level predicted by the NBR for the end of the current year is 4% (revised downward by 0.9%), and for December 2025 is 3.4% (revised downward by 0.1%).

The Non-Performing Loans (NPL) ratio was 2.49% at the end of the Q2 2024, slightly above the level of 2.41% recorded in March 2024.

Assets of the banking system increased in Q2 2024 to RON 834.6 billion, 13% up from Q2 2023. The profit of the banking system reached a new record, of over RON 7.5 billion in H1 2024, 10% more than in H1 2023. The banking system recorded a Return on assets (ROA) of 1.82% and a Return on capital (ROE) of 20.15%. The loan/deposit ratio decreased to 66.35% from 68.66% in Q2 2023, indicating an increase in deposits compared to loans granted. Compared to Q2 2023, the solvency ratio increased from 22.83% to 24.05%, also registering a slight increase compared to the end of 2023 when it was 23.60%.

6. Commercial activity

Commercial Banking activity

In the first 9 months of 2024 Patria Bank continued to strengthen its commercial activity, with special attention to the SME, Corporate, Micro and Agro segments. These sectors represented strategic priorities for the bank, especially by addressing companies' financial products and services needs and through sustainability and green financing initiatives.

An actual example of the Bank's development strategy is the launch of the Competitiveness loan. This product, developed in partnership with the European Investment Fund (EIF), offers advantageous conditions for SME clients, such as extended financing periods, lack of real guarantees for working capital loans and lower costs compared to standard products. Through this program, Patria Bank will support the sustainable development of small and medium-sized businesses, thus consolidating its position on the Romanian banking market.

In the SME segment Patria Bank focused its efforts on meeting the specific financing needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, a central driver of the Romanian economy. The bank facilitated access to loans for working capital and investments, which support SME clients to manage their cash flows more efficiently and make investments in the development and modernization of their businesses

In the Corporate segment Patria Bank continued to support large companies that require complex financing to expand their activities. In addition to loans for large investments(photovoltaic parks, production capacity development, equipment acquisitions), the Bank offers factoring solutions and other products to ensure liquidity, assisting companies in managing periods with extended payment terms and in quickly covering their cash-flow needs.

For the Micro segment, the Bank offered:

  • Micro-loans: fast and affordable solutions for small entrepreneurs and start-up businesses that need working capital or financing for small investments
  • Personalized solutions: through consulting and flexible products the Bank helps entrepreneurs adapt to market dynamics and build their businesses in a sustainable way.

In the Agro segment activities focused on dedicated financing for seasonal agriculture and modernization. Considering the importance of agriculture in Romania, Patria Bank continued to invest in products dedicated to the Agro sector, offering loans for seasonal working capital, essential for the management of agricultural activities that depend on annual production cycles and financing for the purchase of agricultural equipment and the modernization of farms, thus facilitating farmers' access to new and efficient technology.

Outstanding loans

The level of outstanding loans granted to companies had a positive evolution compared to December 2023, specifically an increase by 16.3%. All business lines registered positive developments compared to December 2023, with positive dynamics of the total credit balance and also higher than that recorded by the banking sector. In the first 9 months of 2024 the Bank continued to focus on increasing the loan portfolio and on supporting Micro companies, especially through loans with guarantees issued by the European Investment Fund (InvestEU Program) but also on lending to SMEs, supporting both investments as well as current activity. The agricultural segment continued to be one of the priority segments for the lending activity as well as the most performing ones. The significantly improved results were manifested in each quarter of the year and are primarily the result of the consolidation of Patria Bank's commercial team, the focus on increasing profitability on existing clients but also attracting new clients, as well as the improvement of internal performance management processes and renewal of the product and service portfolio and internal processes.

Agro 195,708 299,881 53.2%

SME&Corporate 940,620 1,086,488 15.5%
Total 1,537,577 1,788,286 16.3%

New loans sales

In the first 9 months of 2024 sales of new loans in the segment of companies had an improved performance by 60.5% compared to the first 9 months of 2023, specifically an increase from RON 540,973 thousand to RON 868,423 thousand. The largest impact on this result comes from the Agro and SME&Corporate segments.

In the Agro segment, the Bank's strategy consisted in attracting new clients through financing and refinancing investments, in the medium and long term. This strategy is still being implemented, with a focus on financing the purchase of land, machinery and irrigation systems. Due to the fact that, in the portfolio of the Agro segment, the largest weight is represented by the financing of vegetable crops, the Bank's strategy is to diversify this segment. Additionally, in Q1 2024 a new credit product was launched, APIA in avans, which represents a loan to cover working capital needs and consists of pre-financing the APIA subsidy by up to 70% of the amount of the subsidy due in the previous year. The year 2024 was affected by soil drought, so special attention was paid to clients in the Agro segment affected by soil drought, for whom solutions were identified and applied (government support solutions and internal solutions at Bank level), therefore we estimate an insignificant negative impact on the portfolio.

In the SME&Corporate segment financings in various sectors were successfully completed in the first 9 months of 2024, with significant volumes being granted in the areas of HORECA, infrastructure, green energy and commercial real estate. The field of green energy represents an important priority for the national economy and a component of the Bank's financing strategy. Solar energy represents the segment

financed by the Bank. Also, in the first 9 months of 2024, the Bank registered an important increase in the volume of non-cash facilities for the infrastructure segment.

The Bank continued the process of granting green loans, which began in 2023, representing financing related to renewable energy investment projects. In 2024 the share of green loans represents 5.07% of the total loans granted, compared to the level of 6.43% recorded in 2023 (first 9M); the granted value – expressed in absolute value - increased by more than 25%. Starting with April 2023, the Bank implemented a process for calculating the ESG class of each granted financing; the majority of financed portfolio falls under the low risk level, in accordance with the Bank's expected appetite. During 2024 the Bank will continue to grant financing to clients who benefit from a low degree of risk ESG rating.

New loans sales (Thousand RON equivalent) 9M 2023 9M 2024 Difference (%)
Agro 78,273 172,543 120.4%
Micro 140,538 155,120 10.4%
SME&Corporate 322,162 540,761 67.9%
Total 540,973 868,423 60.5%

Commercial financing (current accounts & term deposits)

Commercial financing registered an increase of 15.2% compared to December of last year. The increase in collected sources comes from the development of current accounts by over RON 50 million since the beginning of the year and by RON 119 million in term deposits for companies for shorter periods. The Bank's strategy was to increase competitiveness from the pricing perspective in the short-term maturity segment (1-3 months), given the downward trend in interest rates. The Bank also managed in the first nine months of 2024 a significant decrease in the cost of financing related to commercial source, through reducing concentrations in the liquidity area and increasing current account turnover.

Total 1,051,374 1,210,927 15.2%

Retail Banking activity

In the first 9 months of 2024 the demand for unsecured consumer loans remained high in the market, an opportunity that was appropriately used by the Bank by maintaining the focus on this lending direction in Q3 2024. This was achieved both by granting new loans and credit cards, as well as through loans for the refinancing of some existing exposures. The volumes of unsecured loans granted by the Bank maintained the growth rate of 40% recorded in Q2 2024, the new volumes granted in the first 9 months of 2024 reaching RON 102.9 million.

The Bank continued to promote secured lending in RON with fixed interest rates for 5 years, in line with the evolution of the market and consumer preferences, and also maintained actions to activate and increase the degree of use of shopping cards to support transactional income. Secured lending still has a small share in the total lending activity of the Bank in the first 9 months of 2024, which directed the Bank's attention in the last part of Q3 2024 towards completing the secured lending offer with an EUR product with fixed

interest, planned for launch in Q4 2024. Anticipated repayments from customers that contracted unsecured loans affected the Bank's portfolio to a greater extent in Q3 2024 compared to previous periods, while the refinancing of secured loans remained within the usual limits, doubled by the Bank's sustained efforts towards retention activity.

Unsecured loan portfolio acquisition transaction

The loan portfolio subject to the transaction between Alior Bank SA, as assignor, and Patria Bank, as assignee, included at the effective takeover date (7 Sept 2024) of approximately 3,200 clients, with an exposure of performing loans denominated in RON of approximately RON 69 million. The transaction contributed both to the growth of the portfolio of consumer loans (in addition to the balance taken over, the Bank granted new loans to the clients taken over from Alior Bank of approximately RON 2 million in September 2024), as well as to the number of individual clients of Patria Bank. In addition to these shortterm results, the transaction had as strategic objectives future organic growth of the business relationship with the taken over clients, by benefiting from the cross-sell opportunities generated by this portfolio and by consolidating profitability.

Unsecured 73,735 102,949 39.6%

New volumes of unsecured loans continued to prevail in Q3 2024, with a contribution of RON 36.4 million, representing 83% of the total volumes of new loans granted to this segment. The Bank estimates the increase in the contribution of secured lending in the coming period, through special attention given to this segment, including through new initiatives regarding the lending in EUR, against the background of more favorable developments in reference rates established by policies of the European Central Bank. These initiatives can represent a differentiator and can support consumers for the purchase of a house through loans in foreign currency at more attractive costs, in a stable foreign exchange market.

Outstanding deposits (Thousand RON equiv.) 31.12.2023 30.09.2024 Difference (%)

Current accounts 287,904 311,542 8.2%
Total 2,070,819 2,081,063 0.5%

The Bank consolidated its funding sources in Q3 2024, improving the share of current accounts in total sources. Retail deposits remain an important direction in the Bank's activity, the maintenance of attracted sources, both in RON and in foreign currency, being one of the main challenges in Q4 2024, in the competitive context of the issuance of state securities on an almost permanent basis, but also as part of the Bank's strategy to optimize the cost of financing by focusing resources on the short term and reducing concentrations.

Total assets, in amount of RON 4.2 billion, show an increase of 5% compared to the end of 2023, due to the development of the loan portfolio granted to clients and the increased investment in government bonds.

The loan portfolio (net value) registered an increase of 14%, RON +281 million compared to the end of 2023, generated mainly by the development of loans granted to companies and by the financing the agricultural sector. A positive influence also comes from the acquisition in September of the portfolio of performing consumer loans from Alior Bank worth RON 69 million. In the first 9 months of 2024, an improvement in the demand for credit from customers is manifested on the market, especially in the Agro segment, but also in the SME segment. An important contribution to these trends is made by governmental programs and guarantee programs with international financial institutions.

The bank's liabilities show an increase in customer deposits by RON 185 million (+6%) compared to December 2023, while Deposits attracted from banks decreased by RON 27 million (-10%). The bank aimed to optimize the cost of financing and manage liquidity at optimal costs, choosing a more selective policy for some high-value deposits with a high cost of financing. The aim was to increase the share of current accounts, reduce concentrations and direct sources towards shorter maturity intervals. The cost of financing for term deposits denominated in RON decreased by 70 bps since the beginning of the year. For term deposits in EURO, a slight increase in the cost of financing by 20 bps was recorded in the first part of the year and it is currently following a downward trend in line with the evolution of the EURIBOR benchmark. During 2024, the loan granted by IFC (International Finance Corporation) in the amount of EUR 20 million was reduced by EUR 2.5 million, the first installment being due on 30.06.2024.

In order to diversify and increase its financing sources, in July 2024, Patria Bank signed a financing agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) worth EUR 50 million. The financing from the EIB will be used to support investments of eligible SME and MidCap clients in Romania, with a partial allocation for climate projects. We anticipate the disbursement of the first tranche in the amount of EUR 12.5 million in December 2024.

Own funds show an increase of 8% compared to 31 December 2023 coming from the profit recorded in the first 9 months of 2024.

At the individual level the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) was 21%, exceeding the regulatory limit and below the level recorded at the end of 2023 (22.51%), specifically due to increase in risk weighted assets (development of lending activity). At the consolidated level the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) was 20.51%, exceeding the regulatory limit.

The Total Own Funds Ratio, both at individual and consolidated level, incorporates the profits obtained as of 30.06.2024 (first semester) by the Bank, respectively by the Patria Bank SA Group, these being revised by auditors in advance, a mandatory condition for incorporation into Own Funds. The Bank also applies the inclusion of the temporary treatment provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of article 468 of Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 in the calculation of Own Funds.

Net interest income 103,426 89,182 14,244 16%

Net banking income registered an increase of 13% compared to the same period of 2023, on all segments: +16% (RON +14.2 million) net interest income, +11% (RON 2.9 million) net commission income and +6% (RON +1.5% million) financial activity income.

As for interest income, the Bank recorded an increase of 16% compared to the same period of the previous year, the evolution being supported by the income related to the portfolio of debt securities in which the Bank temporarily invested the surplus liquidity. Interest income related to loan portfolio was negatively affected with RON 4.2 million in 2024 due to the update of the interest rate index (ROBOR, EURIBOR and IRCC), considering the structure of the loan portfolio, predominantly with variable interest.

Interest expense recorded a decrease of 8% compared to the same period of 2023. This decrease was influenced by the decrease by 70 bps in the cost of financing for deposits in RON, in 2024, an evolution that reflects market trends, but also the expectations related to the decrease in the reference interest rate. This downward trend in interest rates is consistent with forecasts of the evolution of inflation for the next period. The financing strategy is oriented towards increasing the share of current accounts in total financing, reducing concentrations and directing deposits towards shorter maturities (1 - 6 months) in order to provide flexibility in aligning the financing cost with market trends and competition.

Net commissions income shows a positive evolution of 11% generated mainly by the increase in customer transactional activity, number of POS, trade finance and bancassurance activities.

Operational expenses recorded an increase of 15% (RON 15.9 million) compared with the same period of the last year. Operational and administrative costs show the greatest increase, being influenced both by the development of the Bank's activity (increases in salary expenses, investments in IT and cyber security systems, marketing campaigns etc), as well as the increase of regulated fixed costs (mandatory contributions to the Resolution Fund, contributions and taxes). Out of the total increase of RON 12.1 million in administrative costs, a value of RON 5.9 million is represented by the Turnover Tax applicable to credit institutions starting with 2024. It is worth mentioning that inflationary pressure is still present, along with the increase in the minimum wage in the economy which directly influences the costs of some service providers.

The net cost of risk recorded a prudent evolution. The Bank recorded net depreciation adjustments of RON 6 million in the first 9 months of 2024 compared to RON 19.5 million in the same period of the previous year, taking into account portfolio quality and improved results of collection and recovery actions carried

out during 2024. The Bank constantly monitors its loan portfolio for adequate management of credit risk, taking into account uncertainties that appear in the market. In the first 9 months of 2024 the Bank carried out write-off operations of RON 28 million, in line with the strategy to reduce the stock of non-performing loans.

The Bank recorded a positive operational result of RON 38.7 million and a net profit of RON 27.4 million in the first 9 months of 2024, up 82% compared to September 2024. The result incorporates the new 2% turnover tax applicable to credit institutions starting with 2024, amounting to RON 5.9 million. The Net Result as of 30.09.2024, excluding the 2% tax on turnover, would have been RON 33.2 million.

We present below the quarterly results of 2024, which highlight a uniform distribution of income and expenses across the 3 quarters, highlighting a sustainable increase in financial performance:

The cost/income ratio as of 30.09.2024 incorporates the 2% turnover tax expense, applicable to credit institutions starting with 2024, in the amount of RON 5.9 million; in the absence of which the cost/income ratio would have been 72%.

8. Conclusions

Financial results recorded by Patria Bank at September 30, 2024 show a net profit of RON 27.4 million for the first 9 months of the current year, representing an increase of 82% compared to the same period of the previous year, a result that incorporates the new tax on turnover of 2%, amounting to RON 5.9 million, applicable to credit institutions starting with 2024, and in the absence of which the Bank would have reported a net result of RON 33.2 million. This result represents an accumulation of multiple steps to improve commercial performance (by consolidating the team, internal products and processes), financial position and performance, under conditions of good risk management.

The Bank has proved a solid capacity to adapt and a sustainable grow through an integrated strategy that has increased the profitability, has diversified and increased funding sources, managing to reduce the cost of funding and has streamlined operational processes. The decrease in NPLs and the reduction in the cost/income ratio (cost/income ratio -2% vs. September 2023) are clear signs of prudent and efficient financial management and a sustainable business model.

The Bank also had the capacity to absorb additional costs (for example: 2% turnover tax), as well as the increase in existing costs, generating additional income and managing to increase profitability ratios (RoA and RoE) and reporting an increasing net result (+82% compared to the first 9 months of 2023).

The main financial figures recorded at September 30, 2024 are presented below:

  • Total assets grew by 5%, supported by credit expansion and a prudent but profitable investment policy. Diversification and increased funding sources were key factors in expanding the asset base, maximizing profitability as compared to December 2023 (RoA 0.9% from 0.6%; RoE 8.8% from 6.2%).
  • Increase of net banking income by 13% in the first 9 months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, due to the expansion of the loan portfolio, the reduction of the financing cost by diversifying financing sources and the reorientation towards shorter-term sources correlated with actions to increase current accounts by diversifying products and services and increasing customer transactional behavior.
  • Maintaining on optimal balance sheet structure, the loan to deposit ratio registering a level of 74% compared to 70% at the end of 2023
  • Increase in Loans and advances granted to customers by 14% compared to 2023 → the growth of the loan portfolio was bifurcated between organic expansion which remains a predominant strategic directive and the acquisition in September 2024 of a performing consumer loan portfolio from Alior Bank worth RON 69 million lei, which accelerated the income-generating asset base.
  • Increasing investments in debt securities by 4% vs. 2023 through temporarily placing excess liquidity at competitive yields, in line with Capital Market conditions
  • The strategy to reduce non-performing exposures continued in 2024, the Non-Performing Loans (NPL) Ratio was reduced through rigorous preventive strategies, including increased monitoring activity and the initiation of proactive measures to support customers. The intensification of collection and recovery processes, correlated with write-off operations, contributed to the reduction of non-performing loan exposure, allowing for a better allocation of capital. Thus, the Non-Performing Exposure (NPE) Ratio decreased from 5.5% in September 2023 to 4.7% in September 2024, while the coverage rate of non-performing loans with impairment adjustments increased slightly to 59%
  • The bank's equity increased by RON 33 million in the first 9 months of the year, +8% compared to December 2023, the main contributor being the profits obtained by the bank
  • Maintaining a solid capital base highlighted by the level of the Total Own Funds Rate of 21%.

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 and 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 September 2024.

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 2023.

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 30 September 2024 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, and by the revaluation of properties and equipment, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and non-current assets held for sale. The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented. For the preparation of these consolidated and separate financial statements, some comparatives were restated. For more details please see Note 39.

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 September 2024 and the comparative financial statements of the Patria Bank SA and all its subsidiaries for the period ended 30 September 2023 or 31 December 2023.

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".

Determining whether the group controls an investment fund for which the Group acts as fund manager usually focuses on assessing the group's aggregate economic interests in the fund (comprising any carried interest and expected management fees). See Note 5 Use Of Estimates And Judgments, "Control over investment funds" of the Group's Annual Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

During 2023, the Group performed the analysis presented in Note 5 Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgments "Control over investment funds" and concluded that the Group acts as agent for investors in funds in which the aggregate economic interest (composed of fees, holdings and withdrawal rights) is below 22% and therefore should not consolidate funds that do not meet the above conditions, while these funds have been consolidated in the past. The errors have been corrected and the data from 30 September 2023 has been restated. More detailed information about the impact of errors correction on the Group's consolidated financial statements was presented in the Note 39.

Therefore, on September 30, 2024, the Bank consolidates FDI Patria Global, FDI Patria Stock and FDI Patria Euro Obligatiuni.

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, 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 in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union;

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 rel ated 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 non compliance 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 September 2024, the provision for litigation, in which the Group is involved as defendant is in amount of RON 1,713 thousand (31 December 2023: RON 1,685 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.

The next deadline in the case no. 2127/85/2016 which has as object the insolvency procedure is on 21st of November 2024 (deadline granted for the continuation of the insolvency procedure).

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.

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).

Information about leases for which the Group is a lessee is presented below:

39. CORRECTION OF ERRORS

During 2023, the Group reperformed the control analysis in respect of the funds managed by SAI Patria Asset Management and concluded that the Group acts as agent for the investors in FDI Patria Obligatiuni, FDI ETF ENERGIE Patria Tradeville and FDI ETF BET Patria Tradeville fund and therefore should not consolidate these funds. These funds were consolidated in the 2022 issued financial statements.

The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statements line items for prior period. The following tables summarise the impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Please see Note 2 c for further details.
