  • 39% growth of net fee and commission income:
  • Costs remaining within guidance
  • Net release of impairments and provisions for credit risk cost of risk at minus 41 bps
  • Strong capital position with TCR at 17.8%, enabling further growth and substantial dividend distribution (EUR 92.2 million dividend paid in 2021)

Growing momentum of regular recurring income continued in Q4 2021:

  • Net interest income up 3% QoQ, and net fee and commission income up 10% QoQ

Resilient Operating Income Performance

Result reflects great performance and important milestones achieved

The remarkable performance of the NLB Group in the year 2021 led to a record high profit of EUR 236.4 million – a substantial growth to previous year when excluding effects from acquisition of Komercijalna Banka, Beograd, unaudited 2021 data shows.

Income Statement Recurring pre-provision profit is growing YoY

Result before impairments and provisions (Group, EURm) Contribution to the NLB Group consolidated result a.t. (EURm)

Regulatory costs Non-recurring net non-interest income

Result before impairments and provisions EUR 251.5 million, EUR 41.0 million higher YoY, EUR 16.3 million without KB contribution, as a result of:

  • Net interest income increased EUR 109.8 million, backed by Komercijalna Banka group contribution (EUR 98.5 million). Increasing net interest income without Komercijalna Banka group contribution was impacted by excess liquidity and consequently higher volume of cash and balances with CBs, with low or negative interest rates. Interest income was higher YoY without Komercijalna Banka group contribution, based on higher volumes and increased market shares in the loan book, compensating for the reduction in interest rates.
  • Net fee and commission income increased in all banks, in the Bank mostly due to repricing of packages, fee for high balances, higher net fees from asset management and bancassurance, and DCM fees.
  • In 2021, non-recurring valuation income in the amount of EUR 14.7 million from repayment of exposure, classified as non-performing, EUR 9.0 million other operation income from the settlement of legal dispute, and EUR -8.1 million loss from the sale of Komercijalna Banka, Banja Luka; YoY lower, with the sale of NLB Vita and debt securities impacting 2020 result in the total amount of EUR 28.1 million.

Business Performance

Net interest income Strong loan growth and KB contributed to NII growth

  • Higher interest income due to loan volume growth
  • Interest expenses remained stable
  • Net interest and operational business margin remained flattish
  • On QoQ basis the interest income and expenses were affected by higher liquidity position due to TLTRO-III (EUR 750 million) - additional interest income of EUR 2 million recognized in NLB in December

Operational business margin, quarterly (in %)

Despite the declining trend of interest rates on loans, the interest rate on corporate and state loans in NLB slightly increased, due to repayment of some exposures with low interest rates and higher volume of Cross-border and selected corporate loans, bearing higher interest rates. Continued strong production of housing loans changed portfolio mix and impacted average interest rate on loans to individuals. On the QoQ basis the higher margins due to TLTRO repricing.

Net non-interest income Impressive growth in net fee and commission income with somewhat lower contribution from non-recurring items

Net non-interest income of the NLB Group (in EURm) Net fee and commission income (in EURm)

  • Non-recurring net non-interest income:
  • valuation income of EUR 14.7 million from repayment of old exposure, classified as nonperforming (o/w EUR 12.9 million in NLB) in April
  • EUR 9.0 million other operation income from the settlement of legal dispute (o/w 8.6 EUR million in NLB) in June
  • EUR -8.1 million from the sale of KB Banja Luka

Growth in fee and commission income in all banks is related to:

  • Increased income from basic accounts, payment transaction and cards and ATM operations,
  • High balance fees
  • Higher net fees from asset management (79.8% YoY growth of gross inflows in mutual funds, total of EUR 252.4 million in 2021)
  • Higher net fees from bancassurance (higher YoY inflows with new distribution terms)
  • Higher DCM fees

Continuous cost discipline Costs under control, influenced strongly by integration cost

.

  • The increase of total costs mostly due to integration costs and employee costs.
  • QoQ increase due to integration costs and seasonal effects (higher costs of sevices and year-end bonuses)
  • Continuation of strategic initiatives on a Group level (channel strategy, digitalisation, paperless, lean process, branch network optimisation etc.) to optimize the sustainable cost base going forward.

Prudent RWA management to improve capital ratios

RWA OPTIMIZATION ACTIONS:

  • Decrease in KB trading book;
  • Banking book portfolio optimization;
  • Credit risk optimization through further engagement with MIGA;
  • Third country equivalence framework expected to be confirmed by EC for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Northern Macedonia.

RWA structure (in EURm)

RWA for credit risk decreased EUR 17.8 million YtD: new production of retail and corporate loans, with investments in selected Tier 2 Instruments and investments in state bonds were compensated by inclusion of BiH and Macedonia on Eba's third party equivalent list, legislation criteria changes for the CRR collateral adequacy, signing of MIGA agreements as well as changed investment policy such as shift of some liquid assets from the central governments to lower risk weighted counterparties. Latter two are result of RWA optimization.

The decrease in RWA for market risks and credit value adjustments (CVA) (EUR 32.6 million) is mainly the result of decreased TDI risk in the amount of EUR 79.5 million (a consequence of closing position of Traded debt instruments in Komercijalna Banka Beograd).

The increase in the RWA for operational risks (EUR 296.7 million) derives from the higher three-year average of relevant income, which represents the basis for the calculation. The main effect for increased relevant income was acquisition of Komercijalna banka Beograd in 2020.

  • EUR 27.1 million established other impairments and provisions
    • EUR 14.8 million HR provisions
    • EUR 16.6 million legal provisions
  • Cost of risk negative -41 bps
  • In 2021 net release of impairments and provisions of EUR 35.8 million triggered by:
    • partial repayments of written off receivables
    • improved macroeconomic outlook compared to 2021 (improved risk parameters)
  • Provisions by stages are established by the inflow of asset into each stage:
    • net release of provisions in Stage 1 due to improved credit quality, repayments and increased collateral coverage, which outweighed the increase due to new financing
    • provisions in Stage 2 and 3 are established for clients where deterioration of credit quality was detected.

Expired moratorium overview

  • As at 31.12.2021 the exposures where COVID-19 moratoria has been granted amounts to EUR 1.681 million, representing 10.8% of the Group's credit portfolio. The exposure with remaining COVID-19 moratoria is negligible and amounts to EUR 24.8 million, while 98.5% of those moratoria have already expired by 2021 YE.
  • 86.4% of exposure with expired moratoria have no delays, while 2.1% have delays exceeding 90 days. The Bank is very prudent in identifying any increase in credit risk.

Non-expired moratorium overview

  • Duration of non-expired moratoriums is very short more than 82% will expire in the next six months.
  • NLB is very prudent in identifying any increase in credit risk: in Non-financial corporation segment 15.7% of remaining moratoria transferred to Stage 2 and 60.5% to Stage 3, in Households 28.6% already in Stage 3.

NII sensitivity to interest rate shifts – NLB Group Estimated impact on NII in the next 12 months to parallel interest rate shifts

NII sensitivity to –100bps, -50bos, +50bps, +100 bps (Group, EURm)

Parallel increase in interest rates would have positive impact on net interest income for the NLB Group. Decrease in interest rates would have a negative impact on NLB Group's NII, but to a lesser extent because of floor clause in the loan portfolio.

NII sensitivity is calculated on the balance sheet as of Dec 2021.

KB integration: Running on track, full speed ahead All critical activities are closely monitored and reporting no relevant delays

Legal and M&A processes HR integration IT Integration

Activities executed in line with the masterplan.

Main activities:

  • Decisions on merger between KB and NLB adopted by both banks' General Meeting
  • Dissenting shareholders requesting buy-out from KB representing 3.42% of total ordinary shares
  • Dissenting shareholders to be bought-out by KB as treasury shares
  • Amendments of the KB Founding Act and Articles of Association adopted

Next steps in Q1 22:

Application for merger to be submitted to NBS

A wave of HR optimization (Voluntary leaves program) in NLB BG carried out in December 2021. Number of FTEs is to be reduced by 100 – a combination of voluntary leaves and release of temporary contracts until the integration.

A second wave of soft layoffs (Voluntary leaves) in KB is upcoming – expected to be

concluded by the end of Q1 22 – with leaves to happen after the integration and affecting only HQ personnel.

Management selection process for B-1 has been concluded in Q4 21, and the newly appointed management team is eager to turn 2022 into even more successful year.

Management selection process for B-2 in process will be concluded by end of February 2022

All defined IT activities on critical path are progressing according to the plan:

  • Data migration cycles so far were completed successfully with very promising results, showing great improvement with each iteration raising the KPIs towards targeted values. We will adhere to the best practices in the IT project rollout.
  • Implementation of the identified gaps to be closed prior to migration is progressing in perfect accordance with the plan. Currently we are in the testing phase, and the final readiness will be in the accordance with the adopted plan.
  • New data warehouse has been successfully launched and most important reports for NLB d.d. are already generated.
  • The majority of harmonization requirements related to AML/KYC tool were implemented, strengthening the compliance, with final updates to be done by end of March
  • Infrastructure team managed to establish secure connections between KB and NLB BG, as well as NLB d.d. Also the preparation of a dedicated environment for user acceptance testing was completed.

KB integration: Fully on track

All activities well on track, unleashing unidentified solo potential in Serbia

Branch network footprint: As per end of December 2021, the combined network of KB BG and NLB BG counts 218 branches. 10 further branches were closed in January 22.

Two more waves of optimization are planned: 2B (Q1/Q2 22) - closing 23 branches (with 2 further under consideration); and 3rd (post-merger) - closing 14 branches

ATM migration (NLB to KB) is ongoing and will be done before the merger date.

Cooperation with the Post of Serbia has been agreed, to compensate for closure of branches. Until 30.6.2022 Bank's clients can use the Post to pay for loans and similar without a fee (fee covered by the Bank) and in-payments of cash deposits by entrepreneurs with a lower fee for Bank's clients.

Salesforce migration sub-project:

  • 52 employees have been transferred to Komercijalna banka (45 from sales and 7 employees from direct support). The vast majority of the new production will be done in KB, while servicing of existing clients will remain in NLB.
  • All the employees have been assigned with the appropriate portfolio of clients that will enable much better client service. Locations and sitting schedule have also been defined accordingly to serve clients in all geographical areas.

Sales Marketing and Communications

A detailed rebranding plan is prepared for all key categories:

  • Digital Channels (including m- and e-banks);
  • Branches, and ATMs;
  • POS terminals;
  • Website;
  • Payment Cards; and
  • Documentation, marketing materials, and other.

Rebranding of branches plan has been prepared, and rebranding has started in February and will continue until 4 May

Internal communication is well ongoing, and follows all key milestones:

  • Status update of the Project is regularly delivered via Bank's IntraNet, monthly newsletter and e-mail
  • B-1 appointments presented
  • New organisation structure communicated to the employees
  • Salesforce migration

Consumed capital computed as 13.06% of average RWA reduced for minority shareholder capital contribution. (3) If legal remedies against the adopted law in February 2022 concerning loan agreements in Swiss francs concluded by banks operating in Slovenia (including NLB) and individuals are unsuccessful, the Bank estimates a negative pre-tax effect on the operations of NLB and NLB Group between EUR 70 and 75 million. This would have a limited (up to 55 bps) negative impact on the capital position.

Hedging

NLB is concluding interest rate swaps in line with fair value hedge accounting

Majority of NLB Group derivatives are concluded by NLB either for hedging of the banking book or for trading with customers.

Business with customers

• Customers are mainly using plain vanilla FX and Interest rate derivatives for hedging of their business model. Both interest rate derivatives and FX derivatives have declined in last year. Mainly due to lack of interest from clients in the current IR environment which prefer fixed rate loan or open IR position over derivative hedging. Exception were Interest rate options which slightly increased.

Hedging

  • NLB is concluding interest rate swaps in line with fair value hedge accounting rules. Micro and macro hedges are used for hedging of fixed rate loan portfolio and micro Interest rate swaps are used for the purpose of securities hedging. In last year no new hedges were concluded due to sufficient risk appetite and negative effect of swap.
  • FX swaps used for short term liquidity hedging increased in last year mainly due

  • Reduction of the retail deposits margin after transfer price (FTP) in the amount of EUR 6.1 million YoY.
  • The interest income from loans to individuals EUR 4.3 million higher YoY; higher volume of housing loans and higher interest margins on consumer loans, due to higher volumes of new production and higher share of loans with a risk premium and quick loans in the portfolio; lower volumes on overdrafts had a negative impact on the interest income.
  • Higher net non-interest income, EUR 2.5 million (3%) YoY, due to EUR 13.8 million or 17% higher net fee and commission income related mostly to package repricing and higher net fees from the asset management (high net inflows in mutual funds of NLB Skladi, EUR 192.8 million) and bancassurance. In April, the Bank started charging a fee for high balances for individuals to restrain the deposit inflow which diverted extra liquidity to other financial products (mutual funds, investments) and compensate for the negative interest rates charged for the balances at the CB. Net impairments and provisions were established in the amount of EUR 6.7 million, due to changes in risk parameters.
  • The production of new housing loans was still high in Q4 (EUR 151.8 million), with EUR 557.6 million of new housing loans approved in 2021 (2020: EUR 303.1 million).
  • Deposit base increased by EUR 346.8 million (5%) YoY, with sight deposits prevailing (95% in 2021, compared to 93% in 2020).

Macro Overview – Economic data

Real GDP growth, % Average inflation rate, %

Note: HICP for Slovenia, Kosovo and Eurozone, other CPI

KEY FINDINGS:

In countries of the Group's region, GDP grew 7.7% YoY in Q3 2021. Growth was fuelled by private consumption, capital expenditure outlays and export growth. Private consumption was supported by further improvement in the hospitality sector, which turned out supportive especially for tourism-dependent countries, and remittances inflow.

Inflation accelerated over the course of the year in countries of the Group's region due to similar factors as in other countries all over the world, i.e. rising energy and commodity prices, supply-chain bottlenecks, and overall supply-demand imbalances, which resulted in inflation reaching the peak of 2021 at the end of the year.

Macro Overview – Fiscal data

Fiscal Balance, % GDP

Note: Consensus Forecasts for 2022 and 2023, estimation for 2021

Public Debt, % GDP

Note: Consensus Forecasts for 2022 and 2023, estimation for 2021

KEY FINDINGS:

Public debts remained at elevated levels in 2021 after the increase in 2020 resulting from fiscal measures adopted to mitigate the economic and social impact of the pandemic-induced crisis. In general, public debts of countries in the Group's region are below the Euro area level.

Fiscal balances are expected to improve as fiscal revenues should recover with the recovery in economic activity while fiscal policy support should gradually wane.
