INTRODUCTION

mBank Group delivered very good operating and financial results in Q1 2024. In the period under review, mBank Group recorded a profit before tax of PLN 432.7 million, while net profit attributable to mBank shareholders amounted to PLN 262.5 million. The results were significantly impacted by the cost of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, as well as by the contribution to the Bank Guarantee Fund's resolution fund.

Net profit of the Core Business (mBank Group excluding FX Mortgage Loans segment) attributable to mBank shareholders reached PLN 1 650.0 million in Q1 2024, which translated into net ROE of 48.9%.

The main factors determining the Group's financial results in Q1 2024 were as follows:

  • Higher total income at the level of PLN 2,922.1 million, up by 0.8% compared with the previous quarter, thanks to increase of net fee and commission income,
  • Increase in operating costs (including depreciation) compared to the previous quarter to the level of PLN 888.9 million, due to the recognition of the annual contribution to the Bank Guarantee Fund's resolution fund,
  • Low cost of risk at the level of PLN 48.1 million or 17 b.p. compared to 165 b.p. in the previous quarter,
  • Costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans stood at PLN 1 370.6 million,
  • Taxes on the Group's balance sheet items at the level of PLN 181.9 million,
  • Continued organic growth and business expansion as demonstrated by:
    • Increase in the number of retail customers to 5,693.4 thousand (+18.1 thousand clients compared to the end of March 2023),
    • Increase in the number of corporate customers to 35,112 (+3,231 clients compared to the end of March 2023).

Net loans and advances to customers amounted to PLN 116 296.4 million at the end of Q1 2024. It increased compared to end of 2023 by PLN 2 775.6 million or 2.4% quarter on quarter. The volume of gross loans increased in all three segments of clients. Gross loans to corporate clients increased to 53 198.8, up by PLN 2 362.8 million (+4.6%) quarter on quarter. The volume of loans to individuals increased minimally by PLN 373.9 million or 0.6% against the end of 2023 and amounted to PLN 66 634.0 million.

In Q1 2024 amounts due to customers decreased marginally by PLN 2 400.2 million or -1.3% quarter on quarter to PLN 183 067.3 million. Amounts due to individual customers grew by PLN 856.1 million or +0.7% quarter on quarter and stood at PLN 129 268.4 million at the end of March 2024. Amounts due to corporate customers decreased by PLN 3 578.1 million or -6.3% compared to the end of the previous quarter and at the end of March 2024 reached PLN 52 860.8 million.

As a consequence, Loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 63.5% compared to 61.2% at the end of 2023.

mBank Group's capital ratios decreased in Q1 2024 compared to the end of 2023. Total Capital Ratio stood at 16.0% at the end of March 2024, while Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio amounted to 14.1%. In the period under review, own funds decreased slightly, while total risk exposure amount increased. At the same time, surplus over the PFSA capital requirements amounted to 4.9 p.p. both for the Tier 1 capital ratio and the total capital ratio.

Core business – results of mBank Group excluding the FX Mortgage Loans segment.

Total income - calculated as the sum of net interest income, net fee and commission income, dividend income, net trading income, other income, other operating income and other operating expenses.

Net impairment losses and fair value change on loans and advances - the sum of impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss and gains or losses from non-trading loans and advances mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Net interest margin – calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets. Net interest income calculated for the purpose of net interest margin excludes gains or losses on modification. Gains or losses on modification includes costs of "credit holidays". Interest earning assets are a sum of cash and cash equivalents, loans and advances to banks, debt securities (in all valuation methods) and loans and advances to customers (net; in all valuation methods). The average interest earning assets are calculated on the basis of the balances as at the end of each month. Net interest income is annualised based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualisation factor is calculated by dividing a number of days in the year by a number of days in the analysed period).

Cost/Income ratio – calculated by dividing overhead costs and depreciation by total income (excluding tax on Group's balance sheet items).

ROE net – calculated by dividing net profit/loss attributable to Owners of the Bank by the average equity attributable to Owners of the Bank, net of the year's results. The average equity is calculated on the basis of the balances as at the end of each month. Net profit/loss attributable to Owners of the Bank is annualised based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualisation factor is calculated by dividing a number of days in the year by a number of days in the analysed period).

ROA net - calculated by dividing net profit/loss attributable to Owners of the Bank by the average total assets. The average total assets are calculated on the basis of the balances as at the end of each month. Net profit/loss attributable to Owners of the Bank is annualised based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualisation factor is calculated by dividing a number of days in the year by a number of days in the analysed period).

Awards and distinctions received in Q1 2024

At the end of March, mBank was honoured with two awards during the Euromoney Global Private Banking Awards gala. International Jury awarded mBank with the award for the best domestic private banking and the award for the best portfolio management. This year, the panel of experts highlighted a significant number of new initiatives which supported the development of mBank's operations. mBank was also distinguished for digital solutions for clients in online banking.

mBank received a special award in the Mobile Trends Awards competition. Thanks to the votes received in the online poll, mBank took second place in the "Mobile application development" category. New features that appeared in the application last year include development of the financial management functionalities, a convenient way to connect the application to an account using a payment card, or the ability to personalize products visible on the desktop.

mBank received an award in the Power of Attraction (Siła Przyciągania) competition organized by Puls Biznesu Magazine. In the category "Support for employee development - new competences in a new reality", mBank received the main prize. The jury appreciated the "Future Skills" project and the "Mission Innovation" conference of mBank which aim to develop competences of the future.

mBank was recognized as the friendliest institution at the Banking & Insurance Forum. mBank's involvement in the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity was appreciated. The President of mBank's Management Board, Cezary Stypułkowski, was also honoured at the Gala for his "unique visions and innovative approach to the development of the financial sector, which had a significant impact on the future of the industry."

Mechanisms increasing sales conversion in Paynow were awarded third place in the Qorus Reinvention Awards – Europe competition. Paynow is a joint product of mBank and mElements. Conversion-increasing mechanisms are functions thanks to which a payer purchasing in an online store with Paynow implemented has the greatest chance of successfully completing the transaction.

Economy and the banking sector in Q1 2024

The first quarter of 2024 was marked by falling inflation, which eased to 2% in March from 6.2% in December. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, decreased to 4.6% in March from 6.9% at the end of last year. As expected by the Bank a local bottom in inflation was reached in March, from which inflation should pick up in the coming months, following reinstatement of VAT rate on food at 5%.

The latter half of the year will also see a pick-up in economic activity, which, together with persistently strong nominal wage growth, will result in higher core inflation, according to the Bank's expectations. Energy price hikes will also elevate inflation in the latter half of the year. Expansionary fiscal policy constitutes another factor supporting growth of inflation in the aforementioned period. Near-term risks associated with the sharp increase of commodity prices in the recent months, prevail. One mitigating factor is the strength of the domestic currency. Taking into account above-listed factors, the Bank forecasts the average annual inflation rate at 4.3% in 2024.

The Polish economy emerged from the cyclical downturn, with GDP growth at 1% in annual terms at the end of 2023. Subsequently, the Polish economy has been gradually recovering. The pace of improvement has been moderate so far. The strongest recuperation year to date has been noted in retail sales, which were driven by solid growth in real disposable income and good consumer sentiment. The pace of recovery in real wages indicates there is potential for further improvement in the consumption of goods and services later in the year. The situation of industry and construction slightly differs. Nonetheless, the outlook remains quite optimistic, supported by a gradual improvement in external demand over time. The government will launch a new mortgage subsidy programme in the latter half of the year, which should back the recovery in residential construction activity. The Bank expects a slowdown in investment growth over the course of the year, but a recovery is expected at the turn of 2024 and 2025 onwards. The improvement will be supported by the spending of EU funds. As a result, the Bank forecasts GDP growth of 3.5% in 2024.

In the course of the first quarter, the Monetary Policy Council kept interest rates at a stable level. The main reference rate was at 5.75%. Given the central bank's current reaction function, the Bank assumes no rate cuts in 2024. Simultaneously, an upward movement in market interest rates was noted since the beginning of the year. As a result, the market is no longer pricing in a reduction in the cost of money this year.

The zloty continued to decrease against the euro throughout the first quarter. The continued appreciation of the domestic currency was supported by the release of funds under the National Recovery Plan. The zloty also benefited from a change in the interest rate differential as a direct result of the rhetoric of the NBP, the euro and the US area central banks. In April, the zloty depreciated, dragged down by a shift in expectations for interest rate cuts in the US and an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. The structural situation of the Polish currency continues to be favourable, supported by relatively high interest rates and an expansionary fiscal policy.

Domestic government bond yields recorded a slightly upward trend in the first quarter of 2024. The magnitude of this motion was amplified by the above-mentioned global factors. The rise in yields was driven by changes in interest rates and inflation expectations and cannot be attributed to an increase in credit risk. Moreover, a reduction in credit risk over the course of the last quarter was observed, reflected in lower ASW (asset swap spread) rates.

In the coming months, the Bank anticipates deceleration in the growth rates of household and corporate deposits. The Bank also expects loan growth in both sectors to accelerate, supported by the good labour market situation, the mobilisation of EU funds and the implementation of the government's new mortgage subsidy programme.

Impairment losses on and change in the fair value of loans and advances in the Retail Banking segment dropped by PLN 213.0 million on a quarterly basis and amounted to PLN –73.8 million. Lower cost of risk resulted from improved payment discipline of retail customers and positive impact of the sale of non-performing loan portfolio. Furthermore, the generated result was unimpacted by one-off factors reported in Q4 2023: the implementation of an additional trigger for classification of exposures into Stage 2 (i.e. with heightened credit risk) and recalibration of the PD and LGD model.

Impairment losses on and change in the fair value of loans and advances in the FX Mortgage Loans segment was positive and amounted to PLN 4.9 million. The release of provisions was driven by the increase of the cost of legal risk related to this portfolio and consequently the decline of the value of this portfolio.

Impairment losses on and change in the fair value of loans and advances in the Corporate and Investment Banking segment was positive and amounted to PLN 23.6 million in comparison to PLN –184.5 million in Q4 2023.

Cost of legal risk related to foreign currency loans

Cost of legal risk related to foreign currency loans stood at PLN 1 370.6 million in Q1 2024. The costs are mainly due to updating model parameters for the future expected costs of execution of court judgments, in particular updating estimates of statutory interest costs in relation to the pending court cases. More information about the method of calculating legal risk costs is provided in Note 31 to this report.

Consolidated statement of financial position

The balance sheet total of mBank Group stood at PLN 224 157.0 million at the end of March 2024 and was lower compared with the end of 2023, by 1.2%.

On the total liabilities and equity side, the key drivers were lower amounts due to customers. On a year-on-year basis the balance sheet total of mBank Group increased by 3.0%.

The table below presents changes in particular items of mBank Group assets.

At the end of Q1 2024, net loans and advances to customers were the largest asset category of mBank Group. Their share in total assets amounted to 51.9% compared with 50.0% at the end of 2023. The volume of net loans and advances to customers (a total of loans and advances measured at amortised cost, loans and advances mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss, and loans and advances classified as assets held for trading) amounted to PLN 116 296.4 million at the end of Q1 2024 and compared with the end of 2023 increased by PLN 2 775.6 million, i.e. 2.4%. The key driver of the dynamics here was the increase in the volume of loans to corporate entities. The gross loan volumes in all 3 segments rose.

Gross loans to corporate entities increased on a quarterly basis to PLN 53 198.8 million, i.e. by PLN 2 362.8 million or by 4.6% quarter on quarter. The increase in gross loans to corporate clients in Q1 2024 resulted partly from seasonally observed pay-offs at the end of the year and disbursement of scheduled loan tranches in Q1 2024 from contracts signed in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024. On annual basis, loans to corporate entities decreased by PLN 1 277.4 million or by -2.3% year on year. In terms of net of reverse repo/buysell-back transactions and the FX effect, loans and advances to corporate entities increased by 3.9% quarter on quarter and by 5.8% on annual basis.

The sales of loans to corporate entities decreased by 18.2% quarter on quarter but increased by 51.3% year on year and amounted to PLN 8 800.5 million (including new sales, limit increases, and renewals). The predominant sale in Q1 2024 were credit renewals and new sales of loans. Their share in total sales was 50.7% and 45.6% respectively. Year on year, the largest increase of volumes was noted for new sales of loans (increase by 68.6%). Sale of loans to K2 clients segment was the largest. The greatest demand was observed to long-term financing (investment loans), where the volumes increased by 4.6% quarter on quarter and by 136.2% year on year.

The volume of loans to individuals increased slightly against the end of 2023 by PLN 373.9 million or by 0.6% and amounted to PLN 66 634.0 million. During the period under review, a reversal of downward trend in loans to individuals observed since Q1 2023 was noted. Year on year, the volume of loans to individuals decreased by PLN 3 590.1 million, i.e. by 5.1%. Gross mortgage and housing loans to individuals increased by 0.3% compared to the previous quarter but decreased by 7.8% year on year. The dynamics was largely impacted by the update of cash flow estimates related to CHF mortgage loans and the reduction of their gross carrying amount in accordance with IFRS 9, the Polish zloty appreciation against main foreign currencies and increased sales of mortgage and non-mortgage loans.

mBank S.A. Group Consolidated financial report for the first quarter of 2024 Condensed consolidated financial statement of mBank S.A. for the first quarter of 2024 (PLN thousand)

In Q1 2024, mBank Group sold PLN 2 351.9 million of mortgage loans, 58.7% more than in the previous quarter, and as much as 3.4 times more than in Q1 2023. The increase in sales of mortgage loans was generated by mBank Group in Poland. The mBank's foreign branches noted the drop in the sales of mortgage loans, in line with the business decision to focus on active sales of non-mortgage loans, which are characterised by higher profitability. The sales of mortgage loans increased mainly thanks to mBank's participation in the "2% Safe Loan" programme that involved government subsidies for loan repayments. As a result, the clients took out the mortgage loans at very attractive interest rate and the banks received favourable margins. This led to the highest level of mortgage loans sales since Q2 2022.

The sales of non-mortgage loans in Q1 2024 reached PLN 2 750.2 million, representing an increase by 21.6% compared with Q4 2023 and an increase by 30.1% year on year compared with Q1 2023. Increase of sales volumes of non-mortgage loans was noted both in Poland and in foreign branches. Despite the European Central Bank's highest interest rates in more than two decades, the foreign branches provided the high volume of new sales of non-mortgage loans.

Net of FX effect, loans to individuals increased by 1.1% quarter on quarter and declined by 3.0% year on year. Excluding the FX Mortgage Loans segment, loans to individuals increased by 1.3% quarter to quarter and by 0.4% year on year.

Investment securities were the second largest asset category at the end of Q1 2024. They stood at PLN 62 230.6 million. On a quarterly basis, investment securities increased by PLN 1 646.8 million, i.e. 2.7%, and by PLN 5 816.1 million, i.e. 10.3% on an annual basis. The increase is associated, among other things, with allocation of liquidity surplus into treasury bonds. Investment securities accounted for 27.8% of total assets at the end of Q1 2024, compared with 26.7% at the end of 2023 and 25.9% at the end of Q1 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents contracted by PLN 12 166.6 million, i.e. -33.1% to PLN 24 535.8 million on a quarterly basis, as a result of decline of amounts due to customers and reallocation of surplus into treasury bonds and reverse repo / buy-sell back transactions. In annual terms, cash and cash equivalents increased by PLN 6 972.4 million, i.e. 39.7%.

Loans and advances to banks increased on a quarterly basis by PLN 4 935.8 million, i.e. 69.3% to PLN 12 054.8 million, mainly driven by an increase in the value of reverse repo / buy-sell back transactions. In annual terms, loans and advances to banks declined by PLN 298.6 million, i.e. 2.4%, as a result of outflow of funds from current accounts held by other banks in mBank Group.

Amounts due to the public sector stood at PLN 938.0 million at the end of Q1 2024, representing a quarteron-quarter increase by PLN 321.9 million (52.2%).

3. Major estimates and judgments made in connection with the application of accounting policy principles

The Group applies estimates and adopts assumptions which impact the values of assets and liabilities presented in the subsequent period. Estimates and assumptions, which are continuously subject to assessment, rely on historical experience and other factors, including expectations concerning future events, which seem justified under the given circumstances.

Provisions for legal risks relating to indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF and other foreign currencies

Detailed information on the impact of legal risk related to mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers in CHF and other foreign currencies is provided in Note 31.

Impairment of loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolio in terms of possible impairments at least once per quarter. In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognised in the income statement, the Group assesses whether any evidence exists that would indicate some measurable reduction of estimated future cash flows attached to the loan portfolio. The methodology and the assumptions, on the basis of which the estimated cash flow amounts and their anticipated timing are determined, are regularly verified. If the current value of estimated cash flows (discounted recoveries from payments of capital, discounted recoveries from interests, discounted recoveries from off-balance sheet liabilities and discounted recoveries from collaterals for on-balance and off-balance sheet loans and advances, weighed by the probability of realization of specific scenarios) for portfolio of loans and advances and off-balance liabilities which are impaired as of 31 March 2024, change by +/- 10%, the estimated loans and advances and off-balance liabilities impairment would either decrease by PLN 51.6 million or increase by PLN 54.9 million (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 52.8 million and PLN 56.1 million). This estimation was performed for portfolio of loans and advances and for off-balance sheet liabilities individually assessed for impairment on the basis of future cash flows due to repayments and recovery from collateral – Stage 3. The rules of determining write-downs and provisions for impairment of credit exposures have been described under Note 3.3.6 of Consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Actions taken in relation to the current situation in Ukraine

In the first quarter of 2024, the Group continued to monitor its portfolio of exposures exposed to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. The review concerned the Group's involvement in war countries (Ukraine, Russia) or in conflict-related countries (Belarus), taking into account sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the USA.

As a result of the review, as of 31 March 2024, credit exposure and expected credit losses were determined in the mentioned countries, as shown in the table below.

There was also identified an indirect exposure: a balance sheet exposure of PLN 216.9 million and an off-balance sheet exposure of PLN 219.2 million towards corporate clients whose business is indirectly exposed to the risk of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.

Indirect risk concerns companies where at least 30% of exports or imports is connected to countries affected by the war crisis or whose main shareholder is a resident of the risk country, or the collateral of transaction is located in the country of risk.

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments not listed on active markets is determined by applying valuation techniques. All models are approved prior to being applied and they are also calibrated in order to assure that the obtained results indeed reflect the actual data and comparable market prices. As far as possible, observable market data originating from an active market are used in the models. Methods for determining the fair value of financial instruments are described in Note 2.6 of Consolidated financial statements of mBank Group for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the losses can be utilised. Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits.

Income tax in interim financial statements

Income tax in interim financial statements is accrued in accordance with IAS 34. Interim period tax expense is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

The calculation of the average estimated annual effective tax rate for 2024 required the use of a forecast of profit before tax for the full fiscal year, as well as a differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax base. The projected annual effective tax rate calculated in this way amounted to 39.3%.

The calculation of the average annual effective income tax rate for 2023 required the use of a forecast of the gross result for the entire financial year adjusted for the impact of the costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, as well as a forecast of permanent differences regarding the tax values of assets and liabilities. The forecast annual effective tax rate calculated in this way and used to calculate the income tax burden for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 25.6%.

The greatest impact on the value of the average annual effective tax rate in relation to the nominal income tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 resulted from the costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, tax on financial institutions and contributions and other mandatory payments that do not constitute tax deductible costs (including Bank Guarantee Fund fees).

Revenue and expenses from sale of insurance products bundled with loans

Revenue from sale of insurance products bundled with loans are split into interest income and fee and commission income based on the relative fair value analysis of each of these products.

The remuneration included in fee and commission income is recognised partly as upfront income and partly including deferral over time based on the analysis of the stage of completion of the service. Expenses directly linked to the sale of insurance products are recognised using the same pattern.

Liabilities due to post-employment employee benefits

The costs of post-employment employee benefits are determined using an actuarial valuation method. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and other factors. Due to the long–term nature of these programmes, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

Leasing

The Group as lessor makes judgement classifying lease agreements as finance lease or operating lease based on the economic substance of the transaction basing on professional judgment whether substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset were transferred or not.

The Group as a lessee makes certain estimates and calculations that have an impact on the valuation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. They include, among others: determination of the duration of contracts, determining the interest rate used to discount future cash flows and determination of the depreciation rate of right-of-use assets.

4. Business segments

Following the adoption of "management approach" of IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Bank's Management Board (the chief operating decision-maker), which is responsible for allocating resources to the reportable segments and assesses their performance.

The classification by business segments is based on client groups and product groups defined by homogenous transaction characteristics. The classification is consistent with sales management and the philosophy of delivering complex products to the Bank's clients, including both standard banking products and more sophisticated investment products. The method of presentation of financial results coupled with the business management model ensures a constant focus on creating added value in relations with clients of the Bank and Group companies and should be seen as a primary division, which serves the purpose both managing and perceiving business within the Group.

The Group conducts its business through different business segments, which offer specific products and services targeted at specific client groups and market segments. The Group currently conducts its operations through the following business segments:

  • The Retail Banking segment, which offers a full range of products and services to individual customers, including Private Banking customers and micro-businesses. The key products and services offered to customers in this segment include lending products (mortgage loans, overdrafts, cash loans, car loans, credit cards), deposit products (current and savings accounts, term deposits), debit cards, insurance products, brokerage services, investment advice, asset management services and leasing services. The results of the Retail Banking segment include the results of foreign branches of mBank in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Retail Banking segment also includes the results of mFinanse S.A., mFinanse CZ s.r.o., mFinanse SK s.r.o., mTowarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A., LeaseLink Sp. z o.o. as well as the results of retail segments of mLeasing Sp. z o.o., Asekum Sp. z o.o., mElements S.A. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • The Corporate and Investment Banking segment, which offers financial services to small, medium and large-sized companies, public sector entities, financial institutions and banks. The key products offered to these customers include transactional banking (cash management, current accounts, term deposits, internet banking, financial liquidity management services, trade finance services, letters of credit and guarantees), working capital and investment loans, project finance, structured and mezzanine finance services as well as custody, leasing and factoring services. The products of this segment include operations in foreign currencies, capital and derivatives markets, both proprietary and on behalf of customers, as well as services for arranging and financing securities issues, financial consulting and brokerage services for financial institutions. The Corporate and Investment Banking segment also generates result of foreign exchange risk management. This segment includes the results of the following subsidiaries: mFaktoring S.A. as well as the results of corporate segments of mLeasing Sp. z o. o., Asekum Sp. z o.o., mElements S.A. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A. until the date of separation of part of its activities and its transfer to the mBank which took place on 18 May 2023.
  • The Treasury and Other segment consists primarily of treasury and money markets operations, liquidity and interest rate risks management of the Bank and its investment portfolio. The results of the segment include the result of internal settlements of fund transfer pricing, the result of items classified as hedge accounting and results not allocated to other segments. This segment also includes the results of mLeasing Sp. z o.o. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A. with regard to activities concerning funding and the results of Future Tech Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty.
  • FX Mortgage Loans segment consists primarily of foreign currency mortgage loans with indexation clauses granted to individual customers. These types of loans are no longer offered to customers. The segment's assets include only the portfolio of active mortgage loans originally granted in foreign currencies (mainly in CHF, EUR and USD). The segment's liabilities do not include the financing of the portfolio of such loans, which was included in the liabilities of other segments.

The principles of segment classification of the Group's activities are described below.

Transactions between the business segments are conducted on regular commercial terms.

Internal fund transfers between the Bank's units are calculated at transfer rates based on market rates. Transfer rates are determined on the same basis for all operating units of the Bank and their differentiation results only from currency and maturity structure of assets and liabilities. Internal settlements concerning internal valuation of funds transfers are reflected in the results of each segment.

The separation of the assets and liabilities of a segment, as well as of its income and costs, is done on the basis of internal information prepared at the Bank for the purpose of management accounting. Assets and liabilities for which the units of the given segment are responsible as well as income and costs related to such assets and liabilities are attributed to individual business segments. The financial result of a business segment takes into account all the income and cost items attributable to it.

The business operations of particular companies of the Group are fully attributed to the appropriate business segments (including consolidation adjustments).

The primary basis used by the Group in the segment reporting is business line division. In addition, the Group's activity is presented by geographical areas reporting broken down into Poland and foreign countries because of the place of origin of income and expenses. Foreign countries segment includes activity of mBank's foreign branches in Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as the activity of subsidiaries mFinanse CZ s.r.o. and mFinanse SK s.r.o.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group has the following types of derivative instruments:

Forward currency transactions represent commitments to purchase foreign and local currencies, including outstanding spot transactions.

Futures for currencies and interest rates are contractual commitments to receive or pay a specific net value, depending on currency rate of exchange or interest rate variations, or to buy or sell a foreign currency or a financial instrument on a specified future date for a fixed price established on the organised financial market. Because futures contracts are collateralised with fair-valued cash or securities and the changes of the face value of such contracts are accounted for daily in reference to stock exchange quotations, the credit risk is marginal.

FRA contracts are similar to futures except that each FRA is negotiated individually, and each requires payment on a specific future date of the difference between the interest rate set in the agreement and the current market rate on the basis of theoretical amount of capital.

Currency and interest rate swap contracts are commitments to exchange one cash flow for another cash flow. Such a transaction results in swap of currencies or interest rates (e.g. fixed to variable interest rate) or combination of all these factors (e.g. cross-currency interest rate swaps – CIRS). Except from CIRS there is no exchange of principal at the origin and maturity of the transaction. The credit risk of the Group consists of the potential cost of replacing swap contracts if the parties fail to discharge their liabilities. This risk is monitored daily by reference to the current fair value, proportion of the face value of the contracts and market liquidity. The Group evaluates the parties to such contracts using the same methods as for its credit business, to control the level of its credit exposure.

Currency and interest rate options are agreements, pursuant to which the selling party grants the buying party the right, but not an obligation, to purchase (call option) or sell (put option) a specific quantity of a foreign currency or a financial instrument at a predefined price on or by a specific date or within an agreed period. In return for accepting currency or interest rate risk, the buyer offers the seller a premium. An option can be either a public instrument traded at a stock exchange, or a private instrument negotiated between the Group and a customer (private transaction). The Group is exposed to credit risk related to purchased options only up to the balance sheet value of such options, i.e. the fair value of the options.

Market risk transactions include futures contracts as well as commodity options, stock options and index options.

Face values of certain types of financial instruments provide a basis for comparing them to instruments disclosed in the statement of financial position but they may not be indicative of the value of the future cash flows or of the present fair value of such instruments. For this reason, the face values do not indicate the level of the Group's exposure to credit risk or price change risk. Derivative instruments can have positive value (assets) or negative value (liabilities), depending on market interest or currency exchange rate fluctuations. The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments may be subject to strong variations.

Hedge accounting

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting and cash flow hedge accounting. Detailed information on hedge accounting is presented below.

In accordance with the IFRS9 provisions, only on the day of initial application the Group had the opportunity to choose as its accounting policy element to continue to apply the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements instead of the IFRS 9 requirements.

The Group decided to continue from 1 January 2018, to apply the hedge accounting requirements in accordance with IAS 39. These requirements were consistently applied until 30 June 2022. Starting 1 July 2022 the Group applies the IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirements with the exception described below.

The fair value portfolio hedges of interest rate risk, where the hedged item is designated as portion that is a currency amount, continue to be accounted for in line with IAS 39 requirements.

The Group determines the hedge ratio based on the nominal value of the hedged item and hedging instrument and it is 1:1 (except for mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (mBH) at mBank Group hedging relationship, for which the hedged ratio was determined based on BPV (Basis Point Value) and the fair value hedge of loan portfolios granted by mBank's Czech Branch, where the nominal value of hedging instruments is determined at an amount lower than the nominal value of the hedged item in order to take into account the risk of prepayment).

The sources of hedge ineffectiveness for hedging relationships for which the ineffectiveness arises include mismatch of cash flow dates and repricing periods, base mismatch (e.g. another WIBOR), nominal mismatch in case when the hedge ratio is different than 1:1, CVA/DVA mismatch which is in hedging instrument and is not in hedged instrument and mismatch due to initial valuation of hedging instruments if a previously acquired derivative was included in hedging relationship.

Fair value hedge accounting

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting, under which the only kind of hedged risk is the risk of changes in interest rates.

At the end of each month, the Group evaluates effectiveness of the applied hedging by carrying out analysis of changes in fair value of the hedged and hedging instruments in respect of the hedged risk in order to confirm that hedging relationships are effective in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.12 of Consolidated financial statements for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Description of the hedging relation

The Group hedges against the risk of change in fair value:

  • fixed interest rate mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (mBH), a subsidiary of mBank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • fixed interest rate loans received by mBank from European Investment Bank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • fixed interest bonds issued by mBank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • senior non-preferred bonds issued by mBank fixed interest rate during three years since the issue date. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,

  • part of the fixed interest rate housing and consumer portfolio granted by mBank's foreign branch in the Czech Republic. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • part of the portfolio of deposits modelled by the Bank in PLN with economic characteristics of fixed rate deposits. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • part of the fixed interest rate mortgage portfolio owned by mBH. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates.

  • fixed interest rate mortgage bonds issued by mBH with a nominal value of EUR 402 000 thousand,
  • fixed interest rate loans received by mBank from European Investment Bank with a nominal value of respectively CHF 113 110 thousand, CHF 175 560 thousand and CHF 138 388 thousand,
  • fixed rate bonds issued by mBank S.A. with a nominal value of CHF 125 000 thousand,

An Interest Rate Swap is the hedging instrument changing the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. The interest rate risk is the hedged risk within applied by the Group cash flow hedge accounting. The ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the hedging instrument is presented in Note 8 in the position Other net trading income and result on hedge accounting. Portion of the gains or losses on the hedging instrument that is an effective hedge, is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as Cash flow hedges (net).

The period from April 2024 to August 2029 is the period in which the cash flows are expected, and when they are expected to have an impact on the result.

Cash flow hedges in relation to mortgage loans and mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny

The Group applies hedge accounting with respect to cash flows of the portfolio of mortgage loans denominated in PLN and mortgage bonds denominated in EUR issued by mBank Hipoteczny. The purpose of the hedging strategy is to eliminate the risk of volatility of cash flows generated by mortgage loans in PLN due to changes in reference interest rates and mortgage bonds denominated in a convertible currency due to exchange rate changes using currency interest rate swaps (CIRS).

As part of hedge accounting, the Group designates a hedged item consisting of:

  • parts of the portfolio of housing loans for retail customers entered in the collateral register for mortgage covered bonds, denominated in PLN with an interest rate indexed to 3M WIBOR, the loan margin is excluded from collateral,
  • mortgage bonds issued by the mBank Hipoteczny in EUR with a fixed interest rate.

As hedging instruments, the Group uses CIRS derivative transactions in which, as a party to the transaction, it pays variable interest flows in PLN increased by a margin and receives fixed interest rates in EUR and the denominations are exchanged at the beginning and at the end of the transaction. As transactions concluded by a mortgage bank, CIRS transactions are subject to entry in the register of covered bond collateral. In addition, if the bank's bankruptcy is announced by the court, it will not be immediately terminated, it will last until the end of the original maturity on the conditions specified on the date of the transaction (they will not be extended beyond the original maturity).

The Group hedges the interest rate risk and currency risk within one economic relationship between the concluded CIRS transactions and part of the loan portfolio in PLN and mortgage bonds financing them in EUR. For the purposes of cash flow hedge accounting, the Group simultaneously establishes two hedging relationships:

  • by decomposing the part of the actual CIRS transaction securing the portfolio of loans in PLN with a variable interest rate (hedging against interest rate risk) and,
  • by decomposing the actual portion of the CIRS transaction securing the liability in EUR (protection against currency risk).

For the purpose of calculating changes in the fair value of future cash flows of items being hedged, the Group uses the "hypothetical derivative" method, which assumes the possibility of reflecting the hedged item and the characteristics of the risk being hedged in the form of a derivative. The valuation principles are analogous to the principles for the valuation of interest rate derivatives, however, as required by the IFRS 9, features that do not exist in the hedged item, such as currency basis spread, are not included in the valuation.

Due to the fact that currency basis spread needs to be included in valuation of CIRS contracts, the Group applies the option in IFRS 9 to separate this element from the fair value of hedging instruments and defers it in Other components of equity in the line Cost of hedging.

In the case of established relationships, the period in which cash flows are expected and when they should be expected to influence the results is the period from April 2024 to September 2025.

The following note presents other comprehensive income due to cash flow hedges for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024 and for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2023.

30. Fair value of asset and liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction of selling the asset or transferring a liability occurs either on the main market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a main market, for the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

In line with IFRS 9, for accounting purposes, the Group determines the valuation of its assets and liabilities through amortised cost or through fair value. In addition, for the positions that are valued through amortised cost, there is calculated and disclosed the fair value, but only for disclosure purposes – according to IFRS 7.

The approach to the method used for the loans that are fair valued in line of IFRS 9 requirements, is described in the Note 3.3.7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank Group for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Following market practices the Group values open positions in financial instruments using either the mark to-market approach or is applying pricing models well established in market practice (mark-to-model method) which use as inputs market prices or market parameters, and in few cases, parameters estimated internally by the Group. All significant open positions in derivatives are valued by marked-to-model using prices observable in the market. Domestic commercial papers are marked to model (by discounting cash flows), which in addition to market interest rate curve uses credit spreads estimated internally.

For disclosure purposes, the Group assumed that the fair value of short-term financial liabilities (less than 1 year) is equal to the balance sheet values of such items. In addition, the Group assumes that the estimated fair value of financial liabilities longer than 1 year is based on discounted cash flows using appropriate interest rates.

The following sections present the key assumptions and methods used by the Group for estimation of the fair values of financial instruments.

Loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers

The fair value for loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers is disclosed as the estimated value of future cash flows (including the effect of prepayments) using current interest rates, taking into account the level of the credit spread, the cost of liquidity and the cost of capital. The level of credit spread is determined based on market quotation of median credit spreads for Moody's rating grade. Attribution of a credit spread to a given credit exposure is based on a mapping between Moody's rating grade and internal rating grades of the Bank. To reflect the fact that the majority of the Group's exposures is collateralised whereas the median of market quotation is centred around unsecured issues, the Group applied appropriate adjustments. Moreover, as the benchmark for valuation of mortgage loans in PLN fair value of mortgage loans classified as valuated through fair value in accordance with IFRS 9 was used, with an adjustment relating to credit quality of the portfolio. For exposures in mBank Hipoteczny the adjustment included also a factor relating to the gap in revenue margin between the valuated portfolio and the portfolio of similar loans in mBank.

The fair value of term loans to individual customers takes into account the estimated impact of the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and aid to borrowers, in connection with the extension of the "credit holidays" to 2024.

Financial liabilities

Financial instruments representing liabilities for the Group include the following:

  • contracted borrowings,
  • current accounts and deposits,
  • issues of debt securities,
  • subordinated liabilities.

The fair value for these financial liabilities with more than 1 year to maturity is based on discounted cash flows by the use of discounting factor including an estimation of a spread reflecting the credit spread for mBank and the liquidity margin. For the loans received from European Investment Bank in EUR and in CHF the Group used the EBI yield curve. With regard to the own issue as part of the EMTN programme the market price of the relevant financial services has been used.

In the case of deposits, the Group has applied the curve constructed on the basis of quotations of money market rates as well as FRA and IRS contracts for appropriate currencies and maturities. In case of subordinated liabilities, the valuation is based on discounted cash flows using market swap curves (depending on the terms of issue) adjusted for the issuer's credit risk.

In the case of a bond related to credit risk - credit-linked notes (CLNs) the Group for the valuation uses the method of discounting the expected cash flows from bonds. In the part related to the discounting factor, the valuation also includes a component that takes into account mBank's credit spread and a liquidity margin. Due to the fact that the bondholders are secured in terms of the issuer's credit risk with the deposited securities, an assumption was made that these parameters would remain unchanged during the life of the bond.

In case of covered bonds and other debt securities issued by mBank Hipoteczny, for the purpose of the disclosures swap curves and forecasted initial spreads for certain issues are used.

The Group assumed that the fair values of these instruments with less than 1 year to maturity was equal to the carrying amounts of the instruments.

According to the fair value methodology applied by the Group, financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows:

  • Level 1: prices quoted on active markets for the same instrument (without modification),
  • Level 2: prices quoted on active markets for the similar instruments or other valuation techniques for which all significant input data are based on observable market data,
  • Level 3: valuation methods for which at least one significant input data is not based on observable market data.

The table below presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with the assumptions and methods described above, exclusively for disclosure as at 31 March 2024 and as at 31 December 2023.

During first quarter of 2024 and in 2023 there were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of fair value hierarchy.

With regard to financial instruments valuated in repetitive way to the fair value classified as level 1 and 2 in hierarchy of fair value, any cases in which transfer between these levels may occur, are monitored by the Bank on the basis of internal rules. In case if there is no market price used to a direct valuation for more than 5 working days, the method of valuation is changed, i.e. change from marked-to-market valuation to marked-to-model valuation under the assumption that the valuation model for the respective type of this instrument has been already approved. The return to marked-to-market valuation method takes place after a period of at least 10 working days in which the market price was available on a continuous basis. If there are no market prices for a debt treasury bonds the above terms are respectively 2 and 5 working days.

Level 1

As at 31 March 2024 at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group has presented the fair value of held for trading government bonds in the amount of PLN 1 113 694 thousand and the fair value of government bonds and treasury bills measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of PLN 16 004 816 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 397 333 thousand and PLN 15 883 079 thousand, respectively). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 568 133 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 1 367 549 thousand).

In addition, as at 31 March 2024 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 889 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 893 thousand) and equity instruments in amount of PLN 10 792 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 10 542 thousand).

As at 31 March 2024 level 1 also includes liabilities from short sale of securities quoted on active markets in the amount of PLN 194 291 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 157 607 thousand).

These instruments are classified as level 1 because their valuation is directly derived by applying current market prices quoted on active and liquid financial markets.

Level 2

As at 31 March 2024 level 2 of the fair value hierarchy mainly includes the fair values of bills issued by NBP in the amount of PLN 15 648 566 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 18 437 136 thousand), valuation of which is based on a NPV model (discounted future cash flows) fed with interest rate curves generated by transformation of quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets.

In addition, the level 2 category includes the valuation of derivative financial instruments borne on models consistent with market standards and practices, using parameters taken directly from the markets (e.g. foreign exchange rates, implied volatilities of FX options, stock prices and indices) or parameters which transform quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets (e.g. interest rate curves).

Level 3

As at 31 March 2024 level 3 of the hierarchy presents the fair values of commercial debt securities issued by local banks and companies in the amount of PLN 1 577 213 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 1 564 964 thousand), and includes the fair value of a debt instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, representing the rights to preferred stock of Visa Inc.

Model valuation for these items assumes a valuation based on the market interest rate yield curve adjusted by the level of credit spread. The credit spread parameter reflects the credit risk of the security issuer and is determined in accordance with the Bank's internal model. This model uses credit risk parameters (e.g. PD, LGD) and information obtained from the market (including implied spreads from transactions). PD and LGD parameters are not observed on active markets and therefore have been determined on the basis of statistical analysis. Both models – the valuation of debt instruments and the credit spread model were built internally in the Bank by risk units, were approved by the Model Risk Committee and are subject to periodic monitoring and validation carried out by an entity independent of the units responsible for building and maintaining the model.

Level 3 as at 31 March 2024 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 621 903 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 644 211 thousand). The fair value calculation process for loans and advances to customers is described in detail in the Note 3.3.7 of Consolidated financial statement of mBank S.A. Group for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Moreover, as at 31 March 2024 level 3 covers mainly the fair value of equity securities amounting to PLN 303 426 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 244 048 thousand). The equity instruments presented at level 3 have been valuated using the dividend discount model. The valuations were predominantly prepared based on selected financial figures provided by valuated entities and discounted with the cost of equity estimated using CAPM model (Capital Asset Pricing Model). At the end of first quarter of 2024, the cost of equity was estimated in the range from 11.4% to 11.9% (as at the end of 2023: from 12.3% to 13.8%). Additionally, part of the forecasts assuming growth above the average market growth were discounted with the cost of equity at the level of 25%.

As at 31 March 2024 Level 3 also includes fair value of investment property in the amount of PLN 111 964 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 111 964 thousand). The value of the property was estimated by a property appraiser entered in the Central Register of Property Appraisers kept by the Minister of Development and Technology. The property was valued using the income method. The key unobservable parameter used in the model is the capitalisation rate of 7.25% used to discount cash flows (31 December 2023: 7.25%).

Level 3 includes the valuation of CIRS contracts concluded under cash flow hedge accounting of the PLN mortgage loan portfolio and covered bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (Note 16). As at 31 March 2024 the valuation of these contracts in the assets amounted to PLN 53 206 thousand (31 December 2023 - liabilities: PLN 38 445 thousand).

31. Legal risk related to mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers indexed to CHF and other foreign currencies

Introduction

In recent years, a significant number of individual customers who took out mortgage and housing loans in CHF and other foreign currencies, challenged in court some of the provisions or entire agreements on the basis of which the Bank granted these loans. In the case law to date, there are divergences in the evaluation of contractual provisions introducing an indexation mechanism and the consequences of determining their abusiveness (ineffectiveness), although the judgments that have been made are predominantly unfavourable to the Bank.

The carrying amount of mortgage and housing loans granted to natural persons in CHF as of 31 March 2024 amounted to PLN 1.5 billion (i.e. CHF 0.3 billion) compared to PLN 1.9 billion (i.e. CHF 0.4 billion) as at the end of 2023.

The carrying amount of mortgage and housing loans granted to natural persons in other foreign currencies by mBank in Poland as of 31 March 2024 amounted to PLN 1.4 billion, compared to PLN 1.5 billion at the end of 2023.

The volume of the portfolio of loans indexed to CHF granted to natural persons in Poland (i.e., the sum of loan tranches disbursed to customers), taking into account the exchange rate on the date of disbursement of individual loan tranches, amounted to PLN 19.5 billion (85.5 thousand loan agreements). The volume of the portfolio of loans indexed to other foreign currencies granted to natural persons in Poland, taking into account the exchange rate on the date of disbursement of individual loan tranches, amounted to PLN 4.1 billion (13.4 thousand loan agreements).

Due to the significance of the legal issues related to the foreign currencies loan portfolio for the financial position of mBank Group as at 31 March 2024, detailed information is presented below regarding these lawsuits, significant judgments, which, in the Bank's opinion, may affect the future ruling on loans indexed to foreign currencies, proposed potential settlements with customers, accounting principles for the recognition of legal risk related to these court cases and the settlement program, as well as information on the impact of legal risk related to these court cases on the balance sheet and profit or loss account of mBank Group and the methodology used to determine this impact.

Individual court cases against the Bank concerning loans indexed to CHF and other foreign currencies

As of 31 March 2024, the Bank observed individual lawsuits and class actions regarding 21 772 loan agreements indexed to CHF including of which 17 856 active loan agreements and 3 916 repaid loan agreements (as of 31 December 2023: 21 411 of which 17 852 active and 3 559 repaid loans). Additionally, as of 31 March 2024, the Bank observed individual lawsuits regarding 472 loan agreements indexed to other foreign currencies including of which 378 active loan agreements and 94 repaid loan agreements (as of 31 December 2023: 370 of which 297 active and 73 repaid loans).

As of 31 March 2024, mBank received final rulings in individual lawsuits concerning 5 239 loan agreements indexed to CHF (31 December 2023: 4 487 loans), out of which 104 rulings were favourable to the Bank and 5 135 rulings were unfavourable (31 December 2023: 99 rulings favourable and 4 388 unfavourable). Additionally, as of 31 March 2024, mBank received final rulings in individual lawsuits concerning 49 loan agreements indexed to other foreign currencies (31 December 2023: 41 loans), out of which 5 rulings were favourable to the Bank and 44 rulings were unfavourable (31 December 2023: 5 rulings favourable and 36 unfavourable).

Approximately 92% of unfavourable verdicts led to the invalidation of the loan agreement, others led to the conversion of the agreement into PLN + LIBOR/WIBOR and substitution of FX clause by the fixing rate of the NBP.

Class action against mBank S.A. concerning indexation clauses

On 4 April 2016 the Bank was also sued by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman representing a group of 1 731 individuals – retail banking customers who entered into mortgage loan agreements indexed to CHF.

The lawsuit contains alternative claims for declaring the loan agreements partially invalid, i.e. with respect to the indexation provisions or for declaring the agreements invalid in their entirety or for declaring the indexation provisions of the agreements invalid due to the fact that they allow the loan to be valorised above 20% and below 20% of the CHF exchange rate from mBank S.A. table of exchange rates in effect on the date each of the loan agreements was concluded.

On 19 October 2018, the District Court issued judgment dismissing all of Plaintiff's claims. In its reasoning, the Court argued that the Claimant failed to prove that it has a legal interest in bringing the claim in question and also addressed the issue of the validity of the CHF valorised loan agreements, emphasizing that both the agreements themselves and the indexation clause are in compliance with both applicable laws and the principles of social interaction.

On 9 March 2020, as a result of the plaintiff's appeal, a judgment was rendered in the case, in which the Court of Appeal returned the case to the District Court for reconsideration. On 9 June 2020, the Court of Appeal, on the motion of the Plaintiff, issued a decision by which it granted security to the Plaintiff's claims by suspending the obligation to pay principal and interest instalments and prohibiting the Bank from making statements calling for payment and terminating the loan agreement.

On 9 February 2022 the District Court issued a verdict dismissing the claim in its entirety. The court held that the valorised loan agreements were valid and that there were no grounds to declare them invalid due to the fact that the foreign currency valorisation mechanism was introduced into them. In the court's view, the agreements can continue to apply even after the clauses concerning the method of repayment of the loan have been eliminated from them.

On 25 April 2023, as a result of the plaintiff's appeal, the Court of Appeal issued an order to suspend the proceedings pending final resolution of the legal issue presented to the Supreme Court in case file III CZP 157/22 concerning the composition of the Court with jurisdiction to hear the case in group proceedings during the special regulations related to COVID-19.

By order of 15 November 2023, the Court of Appeal suspended the proceedings due to the adoption of the above resolution by the Supreme Court.

On 29 January 2024 the Court of Appeal announced a verdict and set aside the previous judgment and sent the case to the court of First instance for re-examination due to the invalidity of the previous proceedings in the Court of First Instance.

The details of the methodology and calculation are described further in this note.

Applicability of a general custom where there is no provision in domestic law that could replace an abusive exchange rate clause

On 3 October 2019, the CJEU issued the ruling in case C-260/18 that:

  • the question of abusiveness will be decided by domestic courts,
  • the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN and with interest calculated according to LIBOR was found doubtful,
  • if an exchange rate clause is found abusive, a domestic court must decide whether the agreement in question can be performed further or should be declared invalid, taking into account the client's will and the consequences of invalidity for the client,
  • possible is the application of a disposable norm if the invalidity of the agreement was unfavourable for the client,
  • impossible is the application of general provisions referring to a custom or equity principles.

Applicability of the dispositive provision of national law in place of abusive clause and the limitation period for the consumer's claims

On 8 September 2022, the CJEU issued a ruling in case C-81/21 upholding its previous jurisprudence:

  • confirmed that the limitation period for the consumer's claims for reimbursement of amounts unduly paid on the basis of an unfair contract term begins to run from the moment when the consumer knows or should have known about the unfairness of the contract term,
  • concluded that automatic application of dispositive provision of national law (irrespective of the consumer's consent) could only apply to a provision that was introduced by the national legislator in order to eliminate abusiveness, if such provision restored the balance of the parties,
  • The Court of Justice has again emphasized that the purpose of Directive 93/13 is not to annul all contracts containing unfair terms.

Obligation to inform the consumer of the consequences of invalidity

On 29 April 2021, the CJEU issued a judgment in case C-19/20, according to which:

■ if the unfair (abusive) nature of the contractual provision leads to annulment of the contract, the Court should not annul the contract until the Court informs the consumer in an objective and comprehensive manner about the legal consequences the annulment of such a contract may cause (whether or not the consumer is represented by a legal advisor) and until the Court allows the consumer to express a free and informed consent to the questioned provision and to the continuation of the contract.

Remuneration for using principal/valorisation

On 15 June 2023, the CJEU issued judgment in case C-520/21 according to which:

  • consumer is entitled to demand compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of monthly instalments and costs paid for the execution of this contract and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment, provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality are respected,
  • bank is not entitled to demand compensation from the consumer beyond the return of the principal paid for the performance of that agreement and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment. According to the CJEU, the claims may be allowed only if they do not jeopardize the objective of restoring the situation as if the credit agreement did not exist and the deterrent objective of Directive 93/13.

On 11 December 2023, CJEU issued an order in case C-756/22 and pointed out that:

  • it had already answered the question about what claims the bank is entitled to in the event of invalidity of the contract in case C-520/21,
  • indicated that the bank is not entitled to any amount going beyond reimbursement of the capital paid in respect of the performance of that agreement together with the payment of default interest at the statutory rate from the date on which notice is served.

On 15 January 2024, CJEU issued an order in case C-488/23 according to which:

■ valorisation is a form of recompense, thus banks are not entitled to claim it.

The judgment and the orders in the aforementioned case in practice ruled out the possibility for banks to claim based on remuneration for the use of capital and valorisation of the capital.

Period of limitation

On 7 December 2023 the CJEU issued judgment in case C-140/22 that:

■ in the event of invalidity of the contract, the exercise of the consumer's rights arising from this invalidity cannot depend on a declaration made by a consumer during the court proceedings that the consumer does not consent to the unfair term being maintained, is aware of the consequences of the invalidity of the contract and consents to the invalidity of the contract. Such a declaration may be made outside of the court and does not have to be so precise. It should indicate that the consumer is requesting an invalidity.

On 14 December 2023 the CJEU issued judgment in case C-28/22 that:

■ not permissible is situation in which the limitation period for the business entity's claims begins to run only from the date on which the contract becomes permanently ineffective, while the limitation period for the consumer's claims begins to run at the moment when he or she learned or should have learned about the unfair nature of the contract provision giving rise to invalidity.

These judgments have opened up a debate for national courts as to what moment should be considered as the beginning of the limitation period for a bank's claim. The Bank will monitor the development of the jurisprudence in this regard.

Supreme Court resolutions on loans indexed foreign currency

The resolution of the Supreme Court of 16 February 2021 in case III CZP 11/20:

■ endorsed the theory of two conditionalities if a credit agreement is declared to be invalid.

The resolution of the 7 Supreme Court's judges of 7 May 2021 in case III CZP 6/21:

  • the prohibited contractual provision (Civil Code art.385(1) §1) is from the very beginning, by virtue of law ineffective for the benefit of the consumer, who may subsequently grant informed and free consent to this provision and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively,
  • if the loan agreement cannot be binding after removal of an ineffective provision, the consumer and the bank are entitled to separate claims for the reimbursement of cash benefits provided in the performance of this agreement (Article 410 § 1 in conjunction with Article 405 of the Civil Code). The bank may request the return of the benefit from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.

In the written justification, the Supreme Court confirmed its earlier positions as to the application of the theory of two conditionalities and the issue of calculating the limitation period for the bank's claims in the event that the contract cannot be upheld after the abusive provisions have been eliminated. The Supreme Court explained that due to the possibility granted to the consumer to make a binding decision regarding the sanctioning of the prohibited clause and to accept the consequences of the total invalidity of the contract, it should be recognised that, as a rule, the limitation period for these claims may start running only after the consumer has made a binding decision in this regard. Only then, in the opinion of the Supreme Court, can it be concluded that the lack of a legal basis for the benefit has become definitive (as in the case of condictio causa finita), and the parties could effectively demand the return of the undue benefit. This means, in particular, that the consumer cannot assume that the bank's claim has expired within the time limit calculated as if the call to return the loan was possible already on the day it was made available. In justifying the resolution, the Supreme Court also confirmed that in order to avoid risks related to the borrower's insolvency, the bank may use the right of retention provided in art. 497 in connection with art. 496 of the Civil Code, thus protecting its claim for the return of used principal, since the obligation to return it is – in relation to the obligation to put the funds at the disposal of the borrower – something more than a consideration obligation.

Resolution of the Full Court of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of 25 April 2024 in the case III CZP 25/22:

  • exclusion of the possibility of replacing abusive provisions with civil or common law,
  • exclusion of the possibility of maintaining an indexed/denominated loan as a PLN loan with an interest rate specific to a indexed/denominated loan,
  • the theory of two conditionalities has been confirmed for the invalidity of the CHF loan,
  • the starting point of the limitation period in the case of the bank's claim for reimbursement of amounts paid on account of a loan runs from the day after the borrower challenges the provisions of the contract against the bank,
  • remuneration for the use of capital is not due to either contracting parties.

The resolution has the force of law. The written justification for the resolution had not been published, as of the time of publication of the report.

9 judges elected before 2017 refused to attend the hearing. 6 judges submitted dissenting opinions, primarily on whether the contract should be upheld after the elimination of the conversion clauses.

Given the propensity of national courts to follow the line of the Supreme Court, mBank has taken into account the ruling in question in the provisioning model, taking into account the various possible outcomes. mBank will monitor court rulings on indexed loans in terms of the development of the jurisprudential line following the Supreme Court resolution, as well as a potential legislative initiative that may also affect the provisioning model, as well as the further course of the discussion as to the interpretation of the aforementioned Supreme Court resolution.

PFSA's Chairman proposal

The general assumptions of the PFSA's Chairman proposal to convert FX loans to PLN have been announced in December 2020. The PFSA's Chairman proposal assumes that foreign currency indexed/denominated loan (CHF/EUR/USD) would be converted as if it was from beginning a PLN loan with an interest rate of WIBOR 3M increased by a margin used historically for such loans.

The Bank analysed the costs it would have to incur in the indicated scenario, as the sum of the differences between the current balances of foreign currency indexed/denominated loan (CHF/EUR/USD) and the corresponding hypothetical loan balances in PLN based on the WIBOR 3M rate increased by the loan margin in PLN granted at the same time and for the same period as the loan indexed to denominated in foreign currencies (CHF/EUR/USD).

Hypothetical PLN loan balances include in their schedule differences from the actual repayments of foreign currency indexed/denominated loan (CHF/EUR/USD) by adjusting the value of the outstanding principal according to the scheme provided by the PFSA.

The estimated potential impact of implementation of the conversion plan on mBank, calculated as of 31 March 2024, would amount to PLN 2.7 billion if only entire active portfolio indexed/denominated to CHF was converted (data not verified by the auditor). Detailed assumptions for the estimation of this impact were adopted on the basis of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority's survey dated 27 January 2021. The PFSA's Chairman proposal assumes that only active portfolio would be converted.

Settlement program

On 26 September 2022, the Bank decided to launch the settlement program for borrowers who have active CHF indexed loan including borrowers currently in court dispute with the Bank.

The presented offer is based on two basic assumptions: (i) elimination of the CHF/PLN FX risk incurred by the client and (ii) limitation of the interest rate risk. The settlement proposal consists in conversion of the CHF indexed loan into a PLN loan with simultaneous write-off of a portion of the loan balance. The write off level is individually negotiated with customers. The Bank also reimburse low contribution insurance premiums by redeeming capital equal to the sum of premiums collected from the customer.

After conversion, the customer can decide which interest rate he chooses temporarily fixed or variable. The Bank offers a preferential interest rate on the loan after conversion to the clients that will sign the settlement. By deciding to sign a settlement with the Bank, the client will benefit from a reduction in the outstanding loan balance, eliminates the currency risk and, due to the offered preferential interest rate and the possibility to choose a temporarily fixed interest rate, minimises the interest rate risk. Settlements are signed in an out-of-court mode, although, the Bank allows to any customer who wishes to do so to sign a settlement at an arbitration court.

As of 31 March 2024, the Bank concluded 15 168 settlements (as of 31 December 2023: 13 321 settlements).

Accounting policies for recognising the effect of legal risk related to court cases concerning mortgage and housing loans to individual customers in foreign currencies and the voluntary settlement program

The Group recognises the impact of the legal risk related to court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in foreign currencies and settlements offered to CHF borrowers as reflected under:

  • IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" in relation to active loans, including active loans covered by the class action case and settlements, and
  • IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets" in relation to repaid loans.

Mortgage and housing loans to customers that are subject to court proceedings are within the scope of IFRS 9. Under IFRS 9, these loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.

Legal claims filed by borrowers, including invalidity claims, impact the Bank's estimate of the expected life of the loan and the expected cash flows. In particular, the Bank takes into account the risk that the remaining life of the loan may be shorter than the contractual term, or the Bank may not receive some of the contractual cash flows, and in case of invalidity verdict, the Bank may have to reimburse the borrowers for undue benefits received. In addition, any settlements offered by the Bank to borrowers (including those who have not previously made legal claims) may also affect the amount and timing of expected cash flows from these loans.

Therefore, the Bank believes that the appropriate way to recognise the impact of legal risk with respect to active loans and the expected impact of the settlement program offered to borrowers is to revise the cash flow estimates associated with the loans and reduce the gross carrying amount of the loans in accordance with IFRS 9 paragraph B5.4.6.

In relation to repaid loans and loans, for which the estimated adjustment in cash flows is higher than the carrying amount, the Bank recognises provisions for legal proceedings in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets".

According to IAS 37, the amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of reporting period. The best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation is the amount that the Bank would rationally pay to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period or to transfer it to a third party at that time. This amount is discounted at the balance sheet date.

For repaid loans, there is no asset that could be adjusted, therefore any potential liability arising from the legal risks has to be accounted for under IAS 37. As the provisions being measured in case of repaid loans involves a large population of items, the Bank applies "expected value" method in which the obligation is estimated by weighting all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.

The above estimates are determined by the judgement of the Bank, supplemented by experience of similar events and opinions of independent experts. The evidence considered includes any additional evidence provided by events after the end of the reporting period.

The details of the methodology and calculation related to credit loans indexed to CHF and to other foreign currencies and settlement program are described further in this note.

The impact of the legal risk related to court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in foreign currencies and the voluntary settlement program

The methodology used to calculate the impact of the legal risk related to court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in foreign currencies and the settlement program is based on historical observations and due to the lack of market data, partially on expert assumption that are highly judgmental and with a high range of possible values. It is possible that the impact of the legal risk will need to be adjusted significantly in the future, particularly that important parameters used in calculations are significantly interdependent.

The cumulative impact of legal risk associated with litigation (individual lawsuits and class actions) related to indexation clauses in foreign currencies mortgages and housing loans and the settlement program included in the Group's statement of financial position is shown in the table below.

8 247 291 8 258 113

Total costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans recognised in the income statement in the first quarter 2024 amounted to PLN 1 370.6 million (in first quarter of 2023: PLN 808.5 million). The costs are mainly due to updating model parameters for the future expected costs of execution of court judgments, in particular updating estimates of statutory interest costs in relation to the pending court cases.

Methodology of calculating the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases regarding credit loans indexed to CHF

The methodology of calculating the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases concerning both active and repaid loans applied by the Bank depends on numerous assumptions that take into account historical data adjusted with the Bank's expectations regarding the future. The most important assumptions are an expected population of borrowers who will file a lawsuit against the Bank, the distribution of expected verdicts judged by the courts and the loss to be incurred by the Bank in case of losing the case in court and the level of settlement acceptance.

Expected population of borrowers who will file a lawsuit

The population of borrowers who will file a lawsuit against the Bank has been projected using statistical methods based on the Bank's litigation history and assumptions about the influx of new cases over the full projection period. The Bank assumes that the vast majority of the projected cases will be filed by the end of 2024, after which the number will decline.

For the purpose of calculating the impact of legal risk mBank assumes that approximately 6.1 thousand CHF borrowers including 4.6 thousand with active loans and 1.5 thousand with repaid loans, will file a lawsuit against the Bank (as of 31 December 2023: 7.9 thousand of which 6.1 thousand active and 1.8 thousand repaid loans). Moreover, the Bank assumed that some portion of CHF borrowers will sign

mBank S.A. Group Consolidated financial report for the first quarter of 2024 Condensed consolidated financial statement of mBank S.A. for the first quarter of 2024 (PLN thousand)

settlements. These assumptions, due to significant legal uncertainties surrounding CHF cases as well as other external factors that may shape clients' preferences to file the lawsuits, is highly judgmental and may be a subject to an adjustment in future. If an additional 1 thousand borrowers with active loans indexed to CHF filed a lawsuit against the Bank and the loan was invalidated in its entirety, the impact of the legal risk would increase by approximately PLN 313.3 million (while other relevant assumptions remain constant) as compared to 31 March 2024, reducing gross carrying amount of the loans. If an additional 1 thousand borrowers with repaid loans indexed to CHF filed a lawsuit against the Bank and the loan was invalidated in its entirety, the impact of the legal risk would increase by approximately PLN 129.9 million (while other relevant assumptions remain constant) increasing the provisions for legal proceedings.

The Bank estimates that 3.2 thousand borrowers with active CHF indexed loans will not decide to sue the Bank or sign a settlement with the Bank in the future and 33.8 thousand borrowers with repaid CHF indexed loans will not sue the Bank in future. In the Bank's opinion this will be influenced by the following factors: clients' expectations regarding future changes in the CHF/PLN exchange rate, clients' expectations regarding future costs of PLN loans, changes in jurisprudence in CHF loan cases, tax solutions regarding settlements, costs and duration of court proceedings, individual factors (in particular the loan repayment period and the current amount of debt). This is not a direct estimate, but the result of the difference between the estimate of the population of clients already in dispute with the Bank or intending to do so and the estimate of the population of clients who decide to settle and the number of clients with an active CHF credit agreement and borrowers who have already repaid their loans.

Distribution of expected court rulings

The expected distribution of court rulings was based on final judgments issued in recent cases against the Bank. As at 31 March 2024, the Bank assumed a loss in 99% of pending or future lawsuits (as of 31 December 2022: 99%), while for the remaining 1% of cases, the Bank assumed dismissal of the claim (as of 31 December 2023: 1%). In the loss scenario Bank took into account the only scenario for termination of court proceedings in which the contract is invalid in its entirety, as removing the exchange rate clause would be too far-reaching change (assuming that the clause specifies the main subject of the contract). As compared to 31 December 2023 the bank excluded scenario in which the contract remains valid but the indexation mechanism is eliminated, which transforms a loan indexed to CHF into a PLN loan subject to the interest rate for a loan indexed to CHF. If assumed that all lawsuits end unfavourably for the Bank (100% of the loss scenario), the impact of the legal risk would change by PLN 70.4 million, of which PLN 59.3 million would change the gross carrying amount of loans and PLN 11.1 million provisions for legal proceedings.

The Bank estimated the impact of the resolution of the Full Court of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court dated 25 April 2024. According to its wording, the starting point of the limitation period begins from the day after the day the bank receives the first letter from a borrower challenging the provision of the contract, which may in some cases result in the banks counterclaims for principal to be time-barred. The Bank estimated probabilities individually for these contracts which range from 5% to 50%, assuming that the banks claims would be considered time-barred despite the fact that counterclaims for principal were filed by the bank before the expiration of 3 years from the date of the borrower's lawsuit. If assumed that individual probabilities will change by +/- 1 percentage point and all other relevant assumptions remained constant, the impact of the legal risk would change by PLN 8.9 million, of which PLN 7.3 million would change the gross carrying amount of loans and PLN 1.6 million provisions for legal proceedings.

The Bank estimates that if all Bank's originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court proceedings were declared invalid the pre-tax cost could reach ca. PLN 7.2 billion (compared to PLN 8.2 billion cumulative impact of legal risk associated with litigation related to indexation clauses mortgages and housing loans in foreign currencies as at 31 March 2024). Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final court verdicts.

Probability of settlement acceptance

The Bank assumed the probability of accepting settlements based on the results of an actively conducted settlement program and available market data, and based on its own projections. As at 31 March 2024, the Bank assumed that it would conclude 5.5 thousand settlements in the future which accounts for approximately 21% of active portfolio (as of 31 December 2023: 6.2 thousand, 22%), including the borrowers who already filed or are expected to file a lawsuit against the Bank.

Methodology of calculating the impact of the legal risk related to the class action case and other foreign currencies loans

In order to calculate the legal risk costs related to a class action and loans indexed to other foreign currencies, the methodology described above for calculating the impact of the legal risk related to individual cases and loans indexed to CHF was used and it was applied to the whole population covered by the class action and loans indexed to other foreign currencies. The distribution of expected court rulings used is the same as for individual cases in CHF.

As of 31 March 2024, the Bank recognised the impact of legal risk in the class action in the amount of PLN 306.5 million and the impact of legal risk of loans indexed to other foreign currencies in the amount of PLN 169.6 million.

26. Proceedings before a court, arbitration body or public administration authority

The Group monitors the status of all court cases brought against entities of the Group, including the status of court rulings regarding loans in foreign currencies in terms of shaping of and possible changes in the line of verdicts of the courts, as well as the level of required provisions for legal proceedings.

The Group creates provisions for litigations against entities of the Group, which as a result of the risk assessment involve a probable outflow of funds from fulfilling the liability and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the liability can be made. The amount of provisions is determined taking into account the amounts of outflow of funds calculated on the basis of scenarios of potential settlements of disputable issues and their probability estimated by the Group based on the previous decisions of courts in similar matters and the experience of the Group.

The value of provisions for litigations as at 31 March 2024 amounted to PLN 2 739 326 thousand of which PLN 2 617 074 thousand concerns to provisions for legal proceedings relating to loans in foreign currencies (as at 31 December 2023, respectively PLN 1 940 610 thousand and PLN 1 819 606 thousand). A potential outflow of funds due to the fulfilment of the obligation takes place at the moment of the final resolution of the cases by the courts, which is beyond the control of the Group.

Information on the most important court proceedings

  1. A lawsuit filed by LPP S.A.

On 17 May 2018, mBank S.A. received a lawsuit filed by LPP S.A. with its registered office in Gdańsk seeking damages amounting to PLN 96 307 thousand on account of interchange fee. In the lawsuit, LPP S.A. petitioned the court for awarding the damages jointly from mBank S.A. and from other domestic bank.

The plaintiff accuses the two sued banks as well as other banks operating in Poland of taking part in a collusion breaching the Competition and Consumer Protection Act and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In the plaintiff's opinion, the collusion took the form of an agreement in restriction of competition in the market of acquiring services connected with settling clients' liabilities towards the plaintiff on account of payments for goods purchased by them with payment cards in the territory of Poland.

On 16 August 2018 mBank S.A. has submitted its statement of defence and requested that the action be dismissed. The court accepted the Defendants' requests to summon sixteen banks to join the proceedings and ordered that the banks be served with the summons. Two banks have notified of their intention to intervene in the case as an indirect intervener. In a judgment dated 27 January 2023, the District Court in Warsaw dismissed LPP S.A.'s lawsuit in its entirety. On 27 March 2023 LPP S.A. has filed an appeal, to which the Bank filed a response on 26 June 2023. In a judgment dated 3 November 2023, the Court of Appeal in Warsaw dismissed LPP S.A.'s appeal. On 13 March 2024, mBank received the cassation appeal, to which mBank filed a response.

  1. A lawsuit filed by Orlen S.A.

On 7 February 2020, mBank S.A. received a lawsuit filed by Orlen S.A. with its registered office in Płock seeking damages amounting to PLN 635 681 thousand on account of interchange fee. In the lawsuit, Orlen S.A. petitioned the court for awarding the damages jointly from mBank S.A. and other domestic bank and also from Master Card Europe and VISA Europe Management Services.

  1. The plaintiff accuses the two sued banks as well as other banks operating in Poland of taking part in a collusion breaching the Competition and Consumer Protection Act and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, i.e. a collusion restricting competition in the market of acquiring services connected with settling clients' liabilities towards the plaintiff on account of card payments for goods and services purchased by clients on the territory of Poland.

On 28 May 2020, mBank S.A. filed a response to the lawsuit and moved for a dismissal of a claim.

Tax inspections

In the first quarter of 2024 none of the mBank Group subsidiaries was a subject to tax authorities inspection.

Tax authorities may carry out inspections and verify records of economic operations recorded in the accounting books within 5 years from the end of the tax year in which tax returns were submitted, determine additional tax liabilities and impose related penalties. In the opinion of the Management Board, there are no circumstances indicating the likelihood of significant tax liabilities arising in this respect.

Inspection by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS)

mFinanse S.A., a subsidiary of the Bank, was inspected by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in the period from 16 May 2022 to 2 March 2023. The subject of the inspection was the area of correctness and reliability of calculating social insurance contributions and other contributions that the Social Insurance Institution is obliged to collect, as well as reporting for social insurance and health insurance for the years 2018 - 2021. On 3 March 2023, the Company received the Social Insurance Institution's inspection protocol in the aforementioned scope, to which the mFinanse S.A. submitted objections. From September 2023 to January 2024 mFinanse S.A. received from Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) decisions regarding some of the persons subject to inspection. As at the date of preparation these financial statements, mFinanse S.A. settled the adjudicated contributions according to the received decisions along with interest.

The company is in dispute with the Social Security Institution over the interpretation of the application of social security regulation in the area of the cooperation model involving the simultaneous employment of intermediaries on a part-time basis and a civil law contract. There are currently 94 cases at the court stage in the area of the cooperation model used by the company. The Group's position is that the cooperation model used by the Company complies with the provisions of the law, including the Banking Law in terms of providing credit intermediaries with access to data covered by bank secrecy.

In connection with the above issue, as of 31 March 2024, the Group had a provision in the amount of PLN 95 812 thousand (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 104 969 thousand).

Proceedings initiated by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA)

On 22 November 2023, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority started administrative proceedings against mBank S.A. that might result in a penalty being imposed on the Bank under Article 176i(1)(4) of the Act on trading in financial instruments. At this stage of the proceedings, the amount of the potential penalty cannot be estimated reliably.

Proceedings initiated by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK)

  • Proceedings for considering provisions of a master agreement as abusive instituted ex officio on 12 April 2019. The proceedings concern amendment clauses stipulating circumstances under which the Bank is authorised to amend the terms and conditions of the agreement, including the amount of fees and commissions. In the opinion of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK), the amendment clauses used by the Bank give it an unlimited right to unilaterally and freely change the manner of performing the agreement. As a consequence, the UOKiK President represents the view that the clauses used by mBank define the rights and obligations of consumers contrary to good morals and grossly violate their interest and, thus, are abusive. The Bank does not agree with this stance. The proceedings have been extended to 30 April 2024. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the Bank has not received information about another extension of the proceedings.
  • By way of the decision of 8 July 2022 the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) instigated proceedings on the application of practices violating consumers' collective interests, consisting in a failure to refund the cost of transactions which consumers reported as unauthorised or to restore account balances that would have existed had such transactions not been executed under the procedure and within the time limit specified in the Payment Services Act, as well as practices consisting in providing consumers with incorrect information on the Bank's verification of whether a payment instrument was used correctly in response to customer reports.

The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection accuses the Bank of not refunding the amount of an unauthorised payment transaction despite the lack of grounds justifying the refusal to refund, i.e. suspicion of fraud on the part of the customer or expiration of the claim due to the expiry of the deadline. In its arguments, the Bank emphasises that art. 46 section 1 of the Act of 19 August 2011 on Payment Services (hereinafter referred to as "UUP") does not apply to authorised transactions, and that the obligation to return pursuant to art. 46 section 1 of the UUP does not apply to situations where the payer is liable for an unauthorised transaction.

The essence of the proceedings initiated by the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection is to determine under what circumstances the payment service provider is obliged to refund the transaction amount within D+1. According to the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, such an obligation arises whenever the consumer reports that, in his opinion, an unauthorised transaction has occurred. In the Bank's opinion, this position is unjustified, because such an obligation arises only when an unauthorised transaction actually took place and the Bank is liable for a transaction that is not authorised under the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act.

Moreover, the Bank is of the opinion that the information provided to consumers regarding the Bank's lack of liability for the reported transaction is true. The Bank's liability for transactions reported as unauthorised transactions is not absolute, and the Bank's obligation to refund the transaction amount becomes effective only in situations where an unauthorised transaction actually occurs and there is no occurrence of one of the cases excluding the Bank's liability. In the succeeding letter UOKiK requested for further clarification and extended the proceeding to 31 July 2024. The proceedings are ongoing.

Previously, the Bank presented this change of valuation within Impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Now the Bank presents the valuation within Interest expenses due to issue of debt securities.

■ Presentation of cash and cash equivalents (adjustment 2)

2. Major estimates and judgments made in connection with the application of accounting policy principles

The Bank applies estimates and adopts assumptions which impact the values of assets and liabilities presented in the subsequent period. Estimates and assumptions, which are continuously subject to assessment, rely on historical experience and other factors, including expectations concerning future events, which seem justified under the given circumstances.

Provisions for legal risks relating to indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF and other foreign currencies

Detailed information on the impact of legal risk related to mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers indexed to CHF and other foreign currencies is provided in Note 31 of Condensed consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group for the first quarter of 2024.

Impact of "credit holidays" on the financial result of the Bank

In connection with ongoing work on the regulations regarding the extension of "credit holidays" until 2024, the Bank took into account the impact of such solutions in the valuation of loans and advances granted to customers measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as at 31 March 2024. The Bank reduced the fair value of this loan portfolio by the estimated effect of additional loan holidays in the amount of PLN 152.4 million in correspondence with Other equity items. This estimate was made on the basis of the draft amendment to the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and aid to borrowers, made available on the reporting date. For the purposes of adjusting the value of the mortgage loan portfolio in the part that is measured in the Bank's books at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Bank assumed the probability of implementing these solutions at the level of 90% and the participation of eligible borrowers at the level of 85%.

Impairment of loans and advances

The Bank reviews its loan portfolio in terms of possible impairments at least once per quarter. In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognised in the income statement, the Bank assesses whether any evidence exists that would indicate some measurable reduction of estimated future cash flows attached to the loan portfolio. The methodology and the assumptions, on the basis of which the estimated cash flow amounts and their anticipated timing are determined, are regularly verified. If the current value of estimated cash flows (discounted recoveries from payments of capital, discounted recoveries from interests, discounted recoveries from off-balance sheet liabilities and discounted recoveries from collaterals for on-balance and off-balance sheet loans and advances and for off-balance sheet liabilities, weighed by the probability of realisation of specific scenarios) for portfolio of loans and advances and for off-balance sheet liabilities which are impaired as of 31 March 2024, change by +/- 10%, the estimated loans and advances and off-balance liabilities impairment would either decrease by PLN 51.6 million or increase by PLN 54.9 million (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 52.8 million and PLN 56.1 million). This estimation was performed for portfolio of loans and advances and for off-balance sheet liabilities individually assessed for impairment on the basis of future cash flows due to repayments and recovery from collateral – Stage 3. The rules of determining write-downs and provisions for impairment of credit exposures have been described under Note 3.3.6 of financial statements of mBank S.A. for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Actions taken in relation to the current situation in Ukraine

In the first quarter of 2024, the Bank continued to monitor its portfolio of exposures exposed to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. The review concerned the Bank's involvement in war countries (Ukraine, Russia) or in conflict-related countries (Belarus), taking into account sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the USA. As a result of the review, as of 31 March 2024, credit exposure and expected credit losses were determined in the mentioned countries, as shown in the table below.

Direct exposure as at 31.03.2024

There was also identified an indirect exposure: a balance sheet exposure of PLN 101.7 million and an offbalance sheet exposure of PLN 219.2 million towards corporate clients whose business is indirectly exposed to the risk of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.

Indirect risk concerns companies where at least 30% of exports or imports is connected to countries affected by the war crisis or whose main shareholder is a resident of the risk country or the collateral of transaction is located in the country of risk. Data on indirect involvement are presented in the table below.

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments not listed on active markets is determined by applying valuation techniques. All models are approved prior to being applied and they are also calibrated in order to assure that the obtained results indeed reflect the actual data and comparable market prices. As far as possible, observable market data originating from an active market are used in the models. Methods for determining the fair value of financial instruments are described in Note 2.5 of financial statements of mBank S.A. for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the losses can be utilised. Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits.

Income tax in interim financial statements

Income tax in interim financial statements is accrued in accordance with IAS 34. Interim period tax expense is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

The calculation of the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 required the use of a forecast of profit before tax for the full fiscal year adjusted for the impact of forecast of permanent differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax base. The projected annual effective tax rate calculated in this way amounted to 37.2%.

The calculation of the average annual effective income tax rate for 2023 required the use of a forecast of the gross result for the entire financial year adjusted for the impact of the costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, as well as a forecast of permanent differences regarding the tax values of assets and liabilities. The forecast annual effective tax rate calculated in this way and used to calculate the income tax burden for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 24.5%.

The greatest impact on the value of the average annual effective tax rate in relation to the nominal income tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 resulted from the costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, tax on financial institutions and contributions and other mandatory payments that do not constitute tax deductible costs (including Bank Guarantee Fund fees).

Revenue and expenses from sale of insurance products bundled with loans

Revenue from sale of insurance products bundled with loans are split into interest income and fee and commission income based on the relative fair value analysis of each of these products.

The remuneration included in fee and commission income is recognised partly as upfront income and partly including deferring over time based on the analysis of the stage of completion of the service. Costs directly related to the sale of insurance products are settled in a similar way.

Liabilities due to post-employment employee benefits

The costs of post-employment employee benefits are determined using an actuarial valuation method. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and other factors. Due to the long–term nature of these programmes, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

Leasing classification

The Bank as a lessee makes certain estimates and calculations that have an impact on the valuation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. They include, among others: determination of the duration of contracts, determining the interest rate used to discount future cash flows and determination of the depreciation rate of right-of-use assets.

31. Credit and loan guarantees, other guarantees granted of significant value

In the three-month period, ended on 31 March 2024, the Bank has not concluded any substantial agreements regarding credit and loan guarantees or guarantees granted of a significant amount.

32. Fair value of assets and liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction of selling the asset or transferring a liability occurs either on the main market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a main market, for the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

In line with IFRS9, for accounting purposes, the Bank determines the valuation of its assets and liabilities through amortised cost or through fair value. In addition, for the positions that are valued through amortised cost, there is calculated and disclosed the fair value, but only for disclosure purposes – according to IFRS7.

The approach to the method used for the loans that are fair valued in line of IFRS9 requirements, is described in the Note 3.3.7 to the financial statements of mBank S.A. for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Following market practices the Bank values open positions in financial instruments using either the mark-to-market approach or is applying pricing models well established in market practice (mark-tomodel method) which use as inputs market prices or market parameters, and in few cases, parameters estimated internally by the Bank. All significant open positions in derivatives are valued by marked-tomodel using prices observable in the market. Domestic commercial papers are marked to model (by discounting cash flows), which in addition to market interest rate curve uses credit spreads estimated internally.

For disclosure purposes, the Bank assumed that the fair value of short-term financial liabilities (less than 1 year) is equal to the balance sheet values of such items. In addition, the Bank assumes that the estimated fair value of financial liabilities longer than 1 year is based on discounted cash flows using appropriate interest rates.

Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost

The following table presents a summary of balance sheet values and fair values for each group of financial assets and liabilities not recognised in the statement of financial position of the Bank at their fair values.

The following sections present the key assumptions and methods used by the Bank for estimation of the fair values of financial instruments:

Loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers

The fair value for loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers is calculated as the estimated value of future cash flows (adjusted by prepayments) using current interest rates, including credit spread, cost of liquidity and cost of capital margin. The level of credit spread was determined based on market quotation of median credit spreads for Moody's rating grade. Attribution of a credit spread to a given credit exposure is based on a mapping between Moody's rating grade and internal rating grades of the Bank. To reflect the fact that the Bank's exposures are in major part collateralised whereas the median of market quotation is centred around unsecured issues, the Bank applied appropriate adjustments. Moreover, valuation of mortgage loans in PLN is calculated with the benchmark of fair value of mortgage loans classified as valuated through fair value in accordance with IFRS 9, with an adjustment relating to credit quality of the portfolio.

The fair value of term loans to individual customers takes into account the estimated impact of the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and aid to borrowers, in connection with the extension of the "credit holidays" to 2024.

Financial liabilities

Financial instruments representing liabilities for the Bank include the following:

  • contracted borrowings,
  • current accounts and deposits,
  • issues of debt securities,
  • subordinated liabilities.

The fair value for these financial liabilities with more than 1 year to maturity is based on discounted cash flows by the use of discounting factor including an estimation of a spread reflecting the credit spread for mBank and the liquidity margin. For the loans received from European Investment Bank in EUR and in CHF the Bank used the EBI yield curve. With regard to the own issue as part of the EMTN programme the market price of the relevant financial services has been used.

In the case of deposits, the Bank has applied the curve constructed on the basis of quotations of money market rates as well as FRA and IRS contracts for appropriate currencies and maturities. In case of subordinated liabilities, the valuation is based on discounted cash flows using market swap curves (depending on the terms of issue) adjusted for the issuer's credit risk.

In the case of a bond related to credit risk - credit-linked notes (CLNs) the Bank for the valuation uses the method of discounting the expected cash flows from bonds. In the part related to the discounting factor, the valuation also includes a component that takes into account mBank's credit spread and a liquidity margin. Due to the fact that the bondholders are secured in terms of the issuer's credit risk with the deposited securities, an assumption was made that these parameters would remain unchanged during the life of the bond.

The Bank assumed that the fair values of these instruments with less than 1 year to maturity was equal to the carrying amounts of the instruments.

According to the fair value methodology applied by the Bank, financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows:

  • Level 1: prices quoted on active markets for the same instrument (without modification),
  • Level 2: prices quoted on active markets for the similar instruments or other valuation techniques for which all significant input data are based on observable market data,
  • Level 3: valuation methods for which at least one significant input data is not based on observable market data.

The table below presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with the assumptions and methods described above, exclusively for disclosure as at 31 March 2024 and as at 31 December 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024 and during 2023 there were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of fair value hierarchy.

With regard to financial instruments valuated in repetitive way to the fair value classified as level 1 and 2 in hierarchy of fair value, any cases in which transfer between these levels may occur, are monitored by the Bank on the basis of internal rules. In case if there is no market price used to a direct valuation for more than 5 working days, the method of valuation is changed, i.e. change from marked-to-market valuation to marked-to-model valuation under the assumption that the valuation model for the respective type of this instrument has been already approved. The return to marked-to-market valuation method takes place after a period of at least 10 working days in which the market price was available on a continuous basis. If there is no market prices for a debt treasury bonds the above terms are respectively 2 and 5 working days.

Level 1

As at 31 March 2024 at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the Bank has presented the fair value of held for trading government bonds in the amount of PLN 1 113 694 thousand and the fair value of government bonds measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of PLN 15 181 455 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 397 333 thousand and PLN 15 063 647 thousand, respectively). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 567 197 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 1 367 549 thousand).

In addition, as at 31 March 2024 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 889 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 893 thousand) and equity instruments in amount of PLN 10 792 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 10 440 thousand).

As at 31 March 2024 Level 1 also includes liabilities from short sale of securities quoted on active markets in the amount of PLN 194 291 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 157 607 thousand).

These instruments are classified as level 1 because their valuation is directly derived by applying current market prices quoted on active and liquid financial markets.

Level 2

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy mainly includes the fair values of bills issued by NBP in the amount of PLN 15 553 641 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 18 382 180 thousand), valuation of which is based on a NPV model (discounted future cash flows) fed with interest rate curves generated by transformation of quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets.

In addition, the level 2 category includes the valuation of derivative financial instruments borne on models consistent with market standards and practices, using parameters taken directly from the markets (e.g. foreign exchange rates, implied volatilities of FX options, stock prices and indices) or parameters which transform quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets (e.g. interest rate curves).

Level 3

Level 3 of the hierarchy presents the fair values of commercial debt securities issued by local banks and companies in the amount of PLN 1 780 769 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 1 700 321 thousand), and includes the fair value of a debt instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, representing the rights to preferred stock of Visa Inc.

Model valuation for these items assumes a valuation based on the market interest rate yield curve adjusted by the level of credit spread. The credit spread parameter reflects the credit risk of the security issuer and is determined in accordance with the Bank's internal model. This model uses credit risk parameters (e.g. PD, LGD) and information obtained from the market (including implied spreads from transactions). PD and LGD parameters are not observed on active markets and therefore have been determined on the basis of statistical analysis. Both models - the valuation of debt instruments and the credit spread model were built internally in the Bank by risk units, were approved by the Model Risk Committee and are subject to periodic monitoring and validation carried out by an entity independent of the units responsible for building and maintaining the model.

Level 3 as at 31 March 2024 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 17 758 386 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 18 882 769 thousand). The fair value calculation process for loans and advances to customers is described in detail in the Note 3.3.7 of financial statement of mBank S.A. for 2023, published on 29 February 2024.

Moreover level 3 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 184 780 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 173 518 thousand). The equity instruments presented at level 3 have been valuated using the dividend discount model. The valuations were predominantly prepared based on selected financial figures provided by valuated entities and discounted with the cost of equity estimated using CAPM model (Capital Asset Pricing Model). At the end of the first quarter of 2024, the cost of equity was estimated at the level in the range from 11.4% to 11.9% (as at the end of 2023: from 12.3% to 13.8%). Additionally, part of the forecasts assuming growth above the average market growth were discounted with the cost of equity at the level of 25%.

As at 31 March 2024 level 3 also includes fair value of investment property in the amount of PLN 111 964 thousand (31 December 2023: PLN 111 964 thousand). The value of the property was estimated by a property appraiser entered in the Central Register of Property Appraisers kept by the Minister of Development and Technology. The property was valued using the income method. The key unobservable parameter used in the model is the capitalisation rate of 7.25% used to discount cash flows (31 December 2023: 7.25%).

The table below presents the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to the change of unobservable parameters used in the models for financial instruments measured at fair value at level 3.

36. Events after the balance sheet date

■ Extension of the "credit holidays" until 2024

On 7 May 2024 there was announced an amendment to the Act on support for borrowers who have taken out a housing loan and are in a difficult financial situation and the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and assistance to borrowers, extending the possibility of suspending the execution of mortgage loan agreements granted in PLN (so-called "credit holidays") for 2024. The act will enter into force 7 days from the date of announcement.
