2 Letter from the CEO

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that MONETA had a satisfactory first half of the year, achieving a net profit of CZK 2.7 billion, up by 9.1 per cent on the same period last year. Our mid-year result was delivered on the back of an operating income of CZK 6.2 billion, up by 6 per cent, and lower operating expenses of CZK 2.8 billion, down by 2.7 per cent. Our revenue and cost performance enabled MONETA to offset a higher cost of risk charge of CZK 237 million, compared to CZK 30 million for the same period last year. And in addition, our effective tax rate stood at 14 per cent. Our profitability indicates our ability to meet, and hopefully to exceed, our guided net profit target for the year.

Our balance sheet has grown by 5.5 per cent since the end of 2023, reaching CZK 483 billion. Balance sheet growth was predominantly due to our continued success in deposit gathering. At the end of the first semester MONETA had its strongest ever liquidity position. Our excess liquidity continues to be placed mainly with the Czech National Bank (CNB), where it earns a positive spread against the CNB's repo rate, although the margin on fund sterilisation is declining.

Our excess liquidity also went towards our increased lending activity. The first half of the year was marked by stronger and more robust demand for our credit products across all customer segments. Overall, our lending activity increased by 42.7 per cent year-on-year against the same period last year. More specifically, mortgage lending volumes were up 57.2 per cent yearon-year, new consumer lending was up 38.6 per cent, and new small business volumes rose by 65.1 per cent in the first half of 2024.

Demand for new loans has been primarily driven by the decrease in market rates. Additionally, we increased the efficiency and competitiveness of our loan origination by ending third-party distribution through brokers. In the future, we will seek to fully utilise our digital channels in close connection with our bricksand-mortar branch network to achieve our distribution targets. In parallel, the reduction of distribution costs enabled us to price our mortgage and other products more competitively than most market players, who still bear commission charges. So far, our strategy appears to have had a positive impact on our retail and small business segments.

We continued to successfully gather deposits, albeit at a slower pace than in the previous year. Our deposits from customers reached CZK 426 billion. The market for deposits has been very competitive as some of our smaller competitors have been offering aggressive deposit rates despite the five consecutive rate cuts since December 2023. This competitive behaviour obliged us to continually reevaluate our pricing policy, and in fact to delay and minimise our own interest rate reductions. In summary, during the first half of 2024 our deposit repricing was 1.2 per cent, against a background of rate cuts of 2 per cent. Our tactical approach to deposit repricing has to be considered a success: our customer deposit base grew by 6.7 per cent.

During the past two months, some in the media have reported renewed considerations by certain governing coalition politicians regarding the introduction of a banking sector tax. No specific proposals of this sort have been put forward, although discussions between the finance ministry and representatives of the four largest banks were reported to have taken place. Based

on our understanding, the idea of establishing a privately-managed, bank-funded investment vehicle to provide financing, and potentially capital, for civic and socially beneficial infrastructure projects was discussed. If such plan were to be accepted and introduced as an alternative to a bank sector tax, MONETA would certainly support it.

Equally importantly, on 21 May, we distributed to our shareholders the 2023 dividend in the amount of CZK 9 per share, as agreed by shareholders at the General Meeting we held on 23 April 2024. And we continue to accrue 90 per cent of our consolidated net profit earnings to our dividend account, which currently holds CZK 2.4 billion, or CZK 4.8 per share.

I will now turn to the Czech economy.

CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The current economic environment appears to be improving due to abating inflation, a decreasing state budget deficit, continually low unemployment, positive GPD growth, decreasing energy costs and lower interest rates.

Monthly inflation was 2 per cent in June, down from 9.7 per cent a year ago, with average annual inflation now running at 4.9 per cent. The CNB expects inflation for 2024 to come in at 2.3 per cent. However, inflation remains a persistent topic. Uncertainty regarding inflation caused different views among CNB board members at their last meeting. Some members voted for a more modest rate cut, although a majority agreed upon a 0.5 per cent reduction. The CNB's governor, Aleš Michl, has signalled a possible hiatus on further rate cuts. The CNB's key rate currently remains positive against inflation.

The state budget deficit stood at CZK 178.6 billion in June, against the planned budget deficit of CZK 252 billion for the entirety of 2024. The Ministry of Finance, however, is confident that the planned deficit will be met. With the end of the current parliamentary cycle gradually coming onto the political horizon, the challenge of managing the budget deficit is increasingly more difficult for the current government. Nonetheless, the fiscal position of the Czech Republic remains stable, with a solid rating of AA- and, I would argue, is gradually improving, albeit slowly.

The Czech economy entered positive territory in the first quarter, with a small lift in GDP of 0.3 per cent year-on-year. The CNB's outlook for GDP for 2024 is 1.4 per cent. Household consumption contributed to the growth, says the central bank, but still remains 7 per cent below pre-COVID levels. The CNB also notes that investment activity fell by a "significant" 7.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter, the largest drop in the country's history. Having said that, the CNB does cautiously suggest that investment activity will reach pre-COVID levels during the second half of this year. Moreover, the bank observes an "improved household sentiment" and says that a gradual "recovery in domestic demand is confirmed" by retail and services sales data. The indicators, then, are pointing in the right direction.

Unemployment remains stable and at low levels, at 2.7 per cent as at May 2024, although the central bank notes that labour market tightness is "easing slowly". Average nominal wage growth reached 7 per cent in the first quarter of this year, although real wages increased by 4.8 per cent. The CNB believes that the risk of a wage-price spiral "does not seem to be materialising."

During the first half of 2024 the Czech Crown depreciated slightly compared to 2023, with an average exchange rate of CZK 25 to the Euro.

I will now run through our first-half financial and business performances in more detail.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

It is pleasing to again report a set of solid financial results. MONETA's net profit for the period was CZK 2.7 billion, up 9.1 per cent year-on-year, representing a Return on Tangible Equity of 20 per cent. Our operating income was CZK 6.2 billion, up 6 per cent, thanks to stable net interest income and a rise in net fee and commission income.

MONETA's net interest income was CZK 4.2 billion in the year to 30 June, a stable result compared to the first half of 2023. This confirms the stabilisation of the market, and it relieves the pressure on our cost of funding. Net fee and commission income increased by 16.7 per cent to CZK 1.5 billion, which was above our expectations, and was mainly driven by commissions on the distribution of third-party products, such as investment and insurance, which generated CZK 945 million in fees. New volume of investment funds reached a record high level and increased by 125.4 per cent year-on-year, as clients sought alternative placements for their funds, potentially

providing a higher rate of return than those offered by savings accounts.

Throughout the period MONETA maintained cost discipline, as proven by our level of operating expenses amounting to CZK 2.8 billion, down by 2.7 per cent year-on-year and in line with our expectations and provided guidance. Personnel expenses were up 6.1 per cent to CZK 1.2 billion, reflecting inflationary pressures. Our ongoing administrative expenses were down by 5.8 per cent to CZK 735 million, and our regulatory charges were down by 29.6 per cent compared to 2023, reaching CZK 216 million.

Our operating profit increased by 14.5 per cent yearon-year, to CZK 3.4 billion.

Turning to the cost of risk, MONETA created net loan loss provisions of CZK 237 million, or 18 basis points against our average net loan portfolio size. This falls in the middle of the guided range of 10-30 basis points. Our loan portfolio continues to perform well, with good repayment discipline and relatively low delinquencies. In parallel, we maintained a stable Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio and coverage, although we also reduced the level of management overlays created to cover significant uncertainties with respect to the prior year, 2023.

On 1 May 2024, a new legislation related to purchase and administration of NPLs came into effect and requires the purchasers to register with the CNB. Despite this change we accomplished our NPL disposal target, and successfully sold NPLs with a value of CZK 365.7 million. These sales generated a gain of CZK 43.2 million.

Our tax position remains relatively favourable, with an effective tax rate of 14 per cent, which is in line with our expectations and provided market guidance. The relatively low effective tax rate is a result of our support of the Czech Republic in the form of financing approximately CZK 100 billion of government debt. Such instruments are exempt from income tax, and therefore reduced our overall tax base.

The continued growth of our deposits, or funding base, resulted in a higher value of MONETA's balance sheet, which reached CZK 483 billion, up 5.5 per cent since the start of the year. The growth in our funding base outperformed the overall growth of the market, despite the market rate cuts and the subsequent repricing of our deposit products, although the market slowed down during the second quarter of 2024. Our

excess liquidity, which stands at record levels, is predominantly being placed with the CNB, where it generates a positive spread and supports our overall capacity to generate interest income, albeit at a narrower margin.

And finally, we continued to serve 1.6 million customers, a 0.8 per cent increase on the beginning of the year.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

MONETA's gross performing loan portfolio increased by 2.9 per cent compared to year-end, as new lending rebounded as market rates fell. This was especially true in commercial lending, which rose by 6.8 per cent. New mortgage volumes were up 57.2 per cent, new consumer lending volumes were up 38.6 per cent, and new small business volumes rose by 65.1 per cent. Our overall business performance is in line with our expectations and our guidance to the market.

Overall, we underwrote CZK 28.9 billion of new loans in the period under review. New loan volumes during the first semester constitutes an increase of 42.7 per cent against the same period in 2023.

Our total deposit base increased by 6.7 per cent to CZK 426 billion in the six months since the year-end despite the decrease in our interest rates on savings accounts four times during this period. Our overall rate decrease amounted to 1.2 per cent against the CNB rate cuts of 2 per cent as at June.

Retail business performance

Retail loan balances were stable during the first half of the year and reached CZK 182 billion as at 30 June 2024. New volumes increased in line with MONETA's strategy and the revival of demand for loans as market rates declined. Mortgage receivables were stable at CZK 129 billion. Consumer lending receivables increased by 1.8 per cent to CZK 47.9 billion, while credit card and overdraft lending volumes were down to CZK 2.2 billion. Auto loans rose by 4.3 per cent to CZK 2.6 billion.

Our investment fund portfolio increased to CZK 48.7 billion as at 30 June, with record new volumes of CZK 11.5 billion, as our customers seek higher yielding products. MONETA currently offers 44 investment funds in both CZK and EUR.

MONETA's total retail deposits were up 3.9 per cent to CZK 325 billion as of mid-year.

In the first half we materially altered our distribution strategy, turning our focus on the further development of, and investment in, our own physical and digital distribution capabilities. In this context, we ended our cooperation with external broker organisations, which lowered costs and prevented excessive churn within our mortgage portfolio. This decision supports our ability to offer more competitive rates as well as avoiding costs related to brokers. In the future, we will consider providing third party access to our mortgage products if commissions are passed onto clients and not paid by the Bank.

Commercial business performance

Commercial loan balances increased by 6.8 per cent to CZK 90.1 billion. The growth in our loan balances is attributable to higher demand for working capital as well as investment loans across the small business and SME sectors.

As an integral part of our strategy, we continually review performance and utilise our data to proactively respond to opportunities arising from the performance of our commercial customers. In this respect, we increased the level of pre-approved limits to our clients. The commercial customer base now has cumulative limits of CZK 68.6 billion. These limits are used by our front office personnel to better serve the financing needs of our customers.

Investment loans rose by 3.3 per cent to CZK 46.7 billion, with an increase in new volumes of 41.8 per cent year-on-year. Working capital lending rose by 20.5 per cent to CZK 18.6 billion. The small business loan portfolio increased by 8.9 per cent to CZK 15.1 billion, with new volumes up by 65.1 per cent. Auto loan volumes stood at CZK 8.1 billion, an increase of 5.9 per cent.

Total commercial deposits rose by 16.8 per cent during the first half of 2024 to CZK 101 billion. The growth was primarily driven by small business customers. Our success in attracting deposit growth from commercial customers testifies to our ability to serve them efficiently and to provide attractive propositions.

DIGITAL STRATEGY PROGRESS

We were once again confirmed as the digital leader of the Czech banking market by independent market research conducted by MarketVision. On the digital battlefield, we remain the only bank in the Czech Republic that is able to offer all of its retail products and services online. The latest additions to our service range includes Click to Pay, an online payment platform developed in cooperation with VISA. We also scored additional success through our hypoteka.cz platform, enabling digital origination and the refinancing of mortgages. The mortgage platform and its low-cost load allows us to offer competitive rates due to the significant decrease of distribution costs. Additionally, we have worked to redesign our web presence, successfully meeting budget and deadline. The new website became operational on 1 July 2024.

Success in our digital distribution is evident from the increasing relative share and volumes attributable to our platform. During the first semester, the digital share of consumer loan and mortgage origination stood at 51 per cent and 32 per cent respectively. This was accompanied by a significant 75 per cent share of retail term deposits and 50 per cent of retail savings accounts, originating through MONETA's digital channels. We also see continued growth in key metrics such as the number of users, the volume of payment traffic, the number of service tasks and the intensity of daily traffic, as well as the number of customer interactions.

Additionally, we aimed to improve our digital capability in our debt collection processes. To that end, we added a collections WhatsApp chatbot in June 2024. The chatbot enables borrowers to communicate with the Bank efficiently, and adds another venue to our range of interaction channels.

We always seek to reduce the potential impact of cybercrime on our clients. On this front, we introduced a number of measures to reinforce our ability to identify and block potentially fraudulent transactions, and we developed communications to improve client awareness of risks and consequences. In 2023 we prevented 6,900 fraudulent transactions, shielding our clients from potential losses of CZK 123 million.

CAPITAL POSITION

MONETA continues to maintain a robust capital position. Our regulatory capital stood at CZK 33.4 billion, with excess capital of CZK 4.5 billion and the year-to-date accrued dividend of CZK 2.4 billion. Additionally, we recognised CZK 0.3 billion to our capital base. We are clearly fulfilling our commitment to increase and maintain our dividend pay-out ratio at 90 per cent, the only proviso being unforeseen regulatory or other developments.

Our capital position results in an overall consolidated capital adequacy ratio of 19.4 per cent, with a Tier 1 ratio at 15.4 per cent. Hence we are fulfilling all our regulatory requirements and obligations, and moreover have a substantial capital reserve for additional balance sheet growth and potential additional future shareholder distributions, should we be unable to deploy the capital in a productive and value accretive fashion.

On the regulatory front, our capital requirement will temporarily decrease by 50 basis points to 15.05 per cent. This is due to the fact that the CNB lowered the countercyclical buffer to 1.25 per cent (effective 1 July 2024). On the other hand, the CNB will introduce a systemic risk buffer of 50 basis points effective 1 January 2025. Therefore, we expect our capital management target to return to the current level of 15.55 per cent at the end of this year.

And finally, I would like to highlight the positive outlook on our capital adequacy for 2025 due to the introduction of new capital rules through the Capital Requirement Regulation 3 (CRR 3). This regulation will enable us, under new rules, to decrease the level of risk weighted assets on certain loan portfolios and thus should result in additional capital relief. We will provide an initial estimate of this during our next report, for the end of the third quarter.

AWARDS

I am pleased to report that MONETA has once again been recognised at this year's prestigious Zlatá Koruna awards. This year we took nine awards, including for the fourth consecutive year, the People's Choice Award for our Smart Banka banking app. We also received three gold awards for products designed for entrepreneurs in the Business Loans, Business Accounts and Entrepreneurs' categories.

ESG

Our MONETA Clementia Foundation received a record 183 applications for support from non-profit and NGO organisations in the Spring round of its grant programme, and I am delighted to report that the Foundation distributed more than CZK 7 million to 56 successful applicants, each of which was assessed by Clementia's independent Board of Trustees.

MONETA Money Bank is the only Czech company to be named in this year's Financial Times' Europe's Climate Leaders table, which lists 600 European companies that have achieved the greatest reductions in their greenhouse gas emissions in order to lower their carbon footprint. MONETA's appearance in this prestigious ranking was achieved thanks to the fact that since we began to calculate and report our carbon footprint in 2016, we had by 2023 managed to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 87.7 per cent.

Our ESG approach is evidenced by the strong assessment of several independent organisations. Specifically, we are rated by MSCI at AA. Additionally, we are evaluated by Sustainalytics at the level of 15.6 and by ISS at C-. We believe we have set our targets aggressively, and so far we are able to fulfil the majority of them.

ACCOLADE TO MY COLLEAGUES

As always, I must extend my most sincere gratitude to our staff for their dedication and hard work during the first half of this year. My gratitude and respect also go to my Management and Supervisory Boards colleagues. Most importantly, our ability to deliver against challenging targets is a function of both individual and team efforts across our organisation. I believe that we are making significant strides to further reinforce our culture and the MONETA community. This reinforcement is the best way for management to provide tangible expressions of respect, engagement and dedication to inspiring an inclusive environment for all.

Most sincerely,

Tomáš Spurný Chairman of the Management Board and CEO MONETA Money Bank, a.s.

4 Macroeconomic Environment

In the second quarter of 2024, it was confirmed that the Czech economy continues its slow recovery from the recession that began in 2022 and continued through most of 2023. The period of high inflation and high interest rates, characterized by a decline in retail sales, ended with 2023 and the economy is returning to a relatively stable path. Although the situation continues to improve slowly, stronger economic growth will probably not be seen until the second half of this year.

In the first quarter of 2024, the gross domestic product of the Czech economy grew by 0.2% quarteron-quarter and by 0.3%9 compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Unlike the previous year, the economy was not supported by foreign demand, but mainly by recovering domestic consumption. Gross fixed capital formation and external demand contributed negatively and dragged the economic performance down.

Although the sectoral indicators showed a slight improvement, trade was more successful. Retail sales rose by 4.4%10 year-on-year in real terms in May as consumer economic confidence continued to improve. In contrast, industrial production fell in May, down 3.2% year-on-year and 2.2%11 month-onmonth. New industrial orders were up 0.8% year-onyear, suggesting stagnant or slow growth in industrial production in the months ahead. The construction sector is also underperforming, with construction output falling by 6.8% year-on-year in May and by 5.1%12 month-on-month.

Consumer prices rose by 2%13 year on year in June, bringing inflation exactly in line with the CNB's inflation target. Housing costs remained the main inflationary item, while fuel and food prices declined. The Czech National Bank thus continued the set cycle of interest rate cuts and moved its main monetary policy rate, the two-week repo rate, by 100 basis points in two steps to 4.75%14 during the second quarter, as in the first quarter. Rate cuts are expected to continue, but the pace will probably be significantly slower.

Despite the not very positive economic developments, the labour market remains relatively resilient. The unemployment rate, as measured by the ILO methodology, reached 2.7%15 in May 2024 and was only 10 basis points higher than in May of the previous year. Consumer confidence is also supported by rising wages, with average nominal gross wages rising by 7%16 year-on-year in the first quarter of this year, and wages rising by 4.8% in real terms after a relatively long period of decline due to low inflation.

The Czech economy has been in moderate growth since the beginning of the year. The recovery of the domestic economy is expected to be relatively mild this year and faster and more stable economic growth is likely to be seen next year. According to the Czech National Bank's latest macroeconomic forecast, the Czech economy should grow by 1.4% this year and by 2.7%17 in 2025.

In the first quarter of 2024, the total operating income of the Czech banking sector increased by 7.7% year-on-year to CZK 60.5 billion due to growth in both net non-interest income by 16.1% and net interest income by 4.4% year-on-year. This was driven by gains from foreign exchange operations, dividend revenues and fees income. 18

The net profit of the whole banking sector increased by 22.5% year-on-year to CZK 25.9 billion, which was driven by higher total operating income, alongside controlled operating expenses growth of 2.7% yearon-year, despite a rise in cost of risk. 18

The capitalisation of the Czech banking sector remained strong as a result of a combination of prudent management and robust business performance. The Tier 1 capital increased by 4.2% year-on-year to CZK 654.8 billion in the first quarter of 202418 .

The retail gross performing loan balance increased by 1.1% when compared to 31 December 2023, standing at 181.5 billion as at 30 June 2024. This growth was mainly driven by CZK 1.2 billion increase of mortgage balance to CZK 128.8 billion, and consumer loans, increasing by CZK 0.8 billion to CZK 47.9 billion. MONETA Auto retail loans recorded a balance increase of 4.3% to CZK 2.6 billion since 31 December 2023 and credit card and overdraft balances decreased by 7.1% in the same period amid continuing trend of switching to instalment lending.

The commercial gross performing loan balance stood at CZK 90.1 billion as at 30 June 2024, a 6.8% increase compared to 31 December 2023. Small business lending balances increased by 8.9% to CZK 15.1 billion since 31 December 2023. The investment loan balance increased by CZK 1.5 billion to CZK 46.7 billion as at 30 June 2024.

The Group's customer deposits increased in both retail and commercial segments, totaling CZK 425.8 billion as at 30 June 2024, increasing by 6.7% from CZK 399.2 billion as at 31 December 2023.

The Due to banks balance stood at CZK 6.4 billion as at 30 June 2024, a CZK 1 billion increase when compared to 31 December 2023.

The Group maintained a highly liquid position, with Liquidity coverage ratio at 339.5% at the Group level, well above the regulatory requirement.

5.2 Financial Performance

Operating income in the first half of 2024 amounted to CZK 6.2 billion, up 6% year-on-year. Although net interest income remained broadly flat, net fee and commission income and net income from financial operations grew year-on-year by 16.7% and 38.5% respectively.

Net interest income amounted to CZK 4.2 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and remained stable year-on-year as mentioned above. The yield on loan portfolio increased to 4.9% for the first six months of 2024, in comparison with 4.5% for the same period of 2023. The Group's Net interest margin fell to 1.8% in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to 2.1% in the first six months of 2023.

Net fee and commission income for the six months ended 30 June 2024 increased by 16.7% year-on-year to CZK 1.5 billion, driven by successful distribution of third-party products. Net income from financial operations amounted to CZK 514 million in the first six months of 2024, compared to CZK 371 million in the same period of 2023, driven by positive impact from revaluation of derivatives and extraordinary gain on a marginal disposal of investment portfolio.

Operating expenses for the six months of 2024 amounted to CZK 2,839 million, a 2.7% decrease, compared to the same period of 2023, driven by lower regulatory charges, administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher personnel expenses. The Group incurred CZK 1.2 billion of personnel expenses, representing a 6.1% year-on-year growth primarily driven by higher variable incentives and wage inflation. Administrative and other expenses decreased by 3.5% year-on-year and reached CZK 774 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 4.9% and stood at CZK 604 million. Regulatory charges reached CZK 216 million, decreasing 29.6% year-on-year due to lower contribution to the Resolution fund.

Net impairment of financial assets amounted to CZK 237 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to net impairment of financial assets of CZK 30 million in the same period last year, positively impacted by successful NPL disposals in 2023. The Cost of Risk amounted 18bps for the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to 2bps for the same period in 2023.

Group NPL Ratio remained at 1.4% as at 30 June 2024, same level as at 31 December 2023. Total NPL Coverage stood at 116.1% as at 30 June 2024, compared to 121.6% on 31 December 2023.

As a result, the consolidated net profit for the six months of 2024 reached CZK 2,704 million, a 9.1% increase year-on-year. Annualised RoTE for the six months ended 30 June 2024 increased to 20%, from 18.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

The capital position remained solid with Capital Adequacy Ratio reaching 19.4% as at 30 June 2024, compared to 20.1% as at 31 December 2023.

5.3 Outlook for 2024 and Risks

According to the Czech National Bank's latest macroeconomic forecast, released on 2 May 2024, the Czech economy will grow at a rate of 1.4%19 in 2024.The economic acceleration, supported by a recovery in consumer confidence and a recovery in demand, should come mainly in the second half of the year. In 2025, the economy should then return to stable growth of 2.7%.

The CNB forecasts that inflation will average 2.3% this year and should remain around the central bank's inflation target of 2% in 2025. This is consistent with a continued decline in the two-week repo rate to 4.4% in the last quarter of 2024 and further to 3% by the end of 2025.

The economic outlook for the Czech Republic's near future is therefore improving. The inflationary factors observed over the past two years have disappeared and current inflation is around the CNB's inflation target. The economic recovery is expected to continue, and domestic GDP growth is expected to accelerate. The main risk to the domestic economy remains external geopolitical pressures and their impact on global, especially industrial, demand. There are also uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election, which, if the opposition candidate wins, could change the political and economic transatlantic relationship.

In terms of the 2024 full-year outlook for financial results, the management aims to deliver net profit of at minimum CZK 5.2 billion, in line with the guidance published on 2 February 2024:

  • Operating income to reach CZK 12.4 billion, in line with previously communicated guidance, of which CZK 6.2 billion was delivered in the first half of the year.
  • Operating expenses to remain at or below CZK 5.8 billion, in line with previously communicated guidance, of which CZK 2.8 billion was incurred in the first half of the year.
  • Cost of risk are projected at a range of 10- 30bps. In the first half of the year, the Cost of Risk amounted to 18bps.
  • Effective tax rate for the full year expected at the guided level of 14%.
  • Net profit for the six months of 2024 in the amount of CZK 2.7 billion is on track to meet or potentially exceed the amount of CZK 5.2 billion for the full year.

8 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

8.1 Reporting Entity

MONETA Money Bank, a.s. (the "Bank") is a company domiciled in the Czech Republic. These consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2024 comprise the Bank and its consolidated subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").

8.2 Basis of Preparation and Presentation

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("last annual financial statements"). These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set according to IFRS Accounting Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. These interim financial statements were neither audited nor reviewed by an auditor.

The Group's interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Management Board on 24 July 2024.

Going concern

These interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Management Board of the Bank is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Management Board of the Bank has considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions, including future projections of profitability, cash flows and capital resources.

Functional and presentation currency

These interim financial statements are presented in Czech Koruna (CZK) which is the functional currency of all Group entities. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest million, except where otherwise indicated.

8.3 Use of Judgements and Estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of uncertainty estimation are significantly impacted by the situation related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation.

In the area of expected cash flows resulting from loan receivables, used for determination of amortised cost of the debt financial assets, are made significant estimates, related to future development of prepayments of the loan's notional amount, by the management of the Group.

8.4 Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements.

In the first half-year 2024, the macroeconomic environment has improved relative to previous quarters mainly in terms of the inflation rate. Nevertheless, uncertainty regarding the future macroeconomic evolution has remained pronounced due to impacts of the persistent high interest rate environment and its impact to real economy. To account for this forward-looking risk in the expected credit loss model, the Group maintained and updated framework of management overlays in the second quarter of 2024. As at 30 June 2024, the total management overlay amount stood at CZK 454 million. The overlay amount decreased by CZK 103 MM compared to previous quarter mainly due to dissolution of the overlay segment associated with expiration of COVID guarantees. Since vast majority of COVID guarantees expires in 2024 and on the grounds of the assumptions about potential understatement of the expected credit losses which have not materialized, the specific management overlay related to COVID guarantees was no longer justified.

In the second quarter 2024, the Group closely monitored evolution of the macroeconomic prognoses provided by Czech public authorities such as Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic and Czech National Bank and concluded that the forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios of main macroeconomic drivers such as GDP growth and unemployment rate implemented in November 2023 are appropriate with respect to the current macroeconomic situation in second quarter 2024.

8.19 Risk Management

The Group aims to achieve competitive returns at an acceptable risk level as part of its business activities. Risk management covers the control of risks associated with all business activities in the environment in which the Group operates and ensures that the risks taken are in compliance with regulatory limits, as well as falling within its risk appetite.

From 1 April 2024, there were organizational changes, when activities related to fulfilment of requirements in the field of international cooperation in the field of taxation were transferred from the Compliance Department to the Risk Management Division.

Except of above mentioned, the risk management policies and practices have not changed since 31 December 2023 and are described in the Annual Financial Report for 2023.

8.19.1 Capital management

Regulatory Capital and its components and capital adequacy:

CET1 Ratio 15.4% 15.7%
Tier 1 Ratio 15.4% 15.7%
Total Capital Ratio (CAR) 19.4% 20.1%

1) RWA density is calculated in compliance with BIS Working Papers: Leverage and Risk Weighted Capital Requirements.

The framework used for capital management involves monitoring and complying with the capital adequacy limit in accordance with the Basel III rules codified in Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012, as amended (hereafter "CRR"), Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC, as amended (hereafter "CRD"), and Directive (EU) 2014/59 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, as amended (hereafter "BRRD"), and their implementing measures. This European regulatory framework was significantly revised in May 2019 by adoption of the so-called Banking Package, which introduced amendments to, inter alia, CRR (hereafter "CRR II")23, CRD (hereafter "CRD V")24 and BRRD (hereafter "BRRD II") 25 . Furthermore, the regulatory framework within the Czech legal system is comprised mainly of Banking Act No. 21/1992 Coll., as amended, CNB Decree No. 163/2014 Coll., as amended, and Act No. 374/2015 Coll., on recovery and resolution in the financial market, as amended (hereafter "Recovery and Resolution Act").

In order to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for credit risk and operational risk, on individual as well as on consolidated basis, the Bank uses the standardised approach. The Bank also calculates regulatory capital requirements against the market risk of the trading book.

Since 2020, the CNB as the national resolution authority has identified banks with critical functions, including the Bank, which may not be orderly dissolved via general corporate law liquidation or insolvency proceedings and failure of which would be dealt with pursuant to the Recovery and Resolution Act and set a specific Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (hereafter "MREL") for each of them.

In March 2024, the Bank received an updated MREL specification from the CNB pursuant to which it must comply with the MREL requirement on an individual basis of 17.2% (no change) of its total risk exposure and 5.04% (before 4.92%) of its total exposure effective from 28 March 2024. The MREL requirement is calculated as a sum of a Loss Absorption Amount (Pillar I capital requirement of 8% and Pillar II capital requirement of 2.3% (before 2.6%) 26 – values valid as of the date of the initiation of the planning process for resolution) and a Recapitalisation Amount set at 6.9% (before 6.6%). The combined buffer requirement (a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and a countercyclical capital buffer of 1.75% – values valid as at 30 June 2024; from 1 July 2024 the countercyclical capital buffer decreased to 1.25%) is not taken into account in the MREL calculation and the Bank must comply with it on top of the MREL requirement.

The new amount of the countercyclical capital buffer of 1.25% has decreased a total regulatory capital requirement of the Bank by 0.5% from 1 July 2024 both on individual basis (from 12.25% to 11.75%) and consolidated basis (from 14.55% to 14.05%).

23 Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertakings, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

24 Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards exempted entities, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, remuneration, supervisory measures and powers and capital conservation measures.

25 Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the loss-absorbing and recapitalisation capacity of credit institutions and investment firms and Directive 98/26/EC.

26 Although Pillar II capital requirement was set only on a consolidated basis, its value was used for setting of MREL requirement on an individual basis.

The following table shows the carrying values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are not presented in the Group'sstatement of financial position at fair values:

Subordinated deposits2) 2,915 3,008 2,914 3,042

1) Difference between fair value and carrying value is mainly driven by different market and effective interest rates of the government bonds.

2) When calculating the discount rate, the Group assumes that primarily credit and liquid markup has not changed significantly since origination of the subordinated deposits, thus the change in interest rate is the main driver of the discount rate. In case of significant changes of the other components the discount rate calculation will be adjusted accordingly.

The following table summarises the hierarchy of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value in the statement of financial position:

There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 during the period of the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the year ended 31 December 2023.

The Group uses the following inputs and techniques to determine the fair value under level 1, 2 and level 3.

The level 1 is based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

The level 2 assets include mainly financial derivatives. For derivative exposures the fair value is estimated using the present value of the cash flows resulting from the transactions taking into account market inputs like FX spot and forwards rates, benchmark interest rates and swap rates.

The level 3 assets include equity instruments not traded on the market and the Change in fair value of items hedged on portfolio basis where the fair value is calculated using the valuation techniques including expert appraisals.

10 Alternative Performance Measures

In this report, certain financial data and measures are presented which are not calculated pursuant to any accounting standard and which are therefore non-IFRS measures and alternative performance measures as defined in the European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures. These financial data and measures are cost of funds, cost of funds on customer deposit, cost of risk, cost to income ratio, customer deposits, dividend yield, excess capital, excess liquidity, high-quality liquid assets, LCR, legacy NPL, liquid assets, liquidity buffer, loan to deposit ratio, net interest margin, net non-interest income, new production / new volume, NPL / Non-performing loans, NPL coverage, NPL ratio, online sales / origination / production / volume, operational risk, opportunistic repo operations, reported return on tangible equity, return on average assets, RWA, tangible equity, total NPL coverage, yield on net customer loans / loan portfolio yield.

All alternative performance measures included in this document are calculated for the specified period.

These alternative performance measures are included to (i) extend the financial disclosure also to metrics which are used, along with IFRS measures, by the management for evaluation of the Group's performance, and (ii) provide to investors further basis, along with IFRS measures, for measuring the Group's performance. Because of the discretion that the Group has in defining these measures and calculating the reported amounts, care should be taken in comparing these various measures with similar measures used by other companies. These measures should not be used as a substitute for evaluating the performance of the Group based on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Group's results as reported under IFRS and set out in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group, and investors should not place any undue reliance on non-IFRS measures. Non-IFRS measures presented in this report should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Group to invest in the growth of the business, or as measures of cash that will be available to the Group to meet its obligations. Investors should rely primarily on the Group's IFRS results and use the non-IFRS measures only as supplemental means for evaluating the performance of the Group.
