INTRODUCTION

mBank Group delivered strong operating results in Q1 2023. In the period under review, mBank Group recorded a profit before tax of PLN 469.5 million and net profit attributable to mBank shareholders amounted to PLN 142.8 million. The results were significantly impacted by the cost of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, as well as the fully booked annual contribution to the resolution fund.

The gross profit of the core business (results of mBank Group excluding the results of the FX Mortgage Loans segment) reached PLN 1 316.0 million in Q1 2023, which translated into net ROE of 33.5%.

The main factors determining the Group's financial results in Q1 2023 were as follows:

  • Higher total income at the level of PLN 2 561.0 million, up by 5.2% compared to Q4 2022, thanks to increase of net interest income and net fee and commission income.
  • Increase in operating costs (including depreciation) compared to the previous quarter to the level of PLN 854.9 million due to the recognition of the annual contribution to the resolution fund in the amount of PLN 182.9 million.
  • Increase in the cost of risk to the level of PLN 238.2 million or 79 b.p. compared to 61 b.p. in Q4 2022.
  • Costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans stood at PLN 808.5 million in Q1 2023.
  • Increase in taxes on the Group's balance sheet items compared to Q4 2022 to PLN 190.0 million.
  • Higher income tax mainly due to the cost of legal risk related to foreign currency loans, which was treated as non-deductible expense for the purpose of calculating the effective tax rate applied.
  • Continued organic growth and business expansion as demonstrated by:
    • □ increase in the number of retail customers to 5 675.3 thousand (+32.5 thousand clients compared to the end of 2022),
    • □ increase in the number of corporate customers to 33 311 (+286 clients compared to the end of 2022).

Net loans and advances to customers stood at PLN 121 533.5 million at the end of March 2023, an increase by PLN 1 350.3 million or +1.1% quarter on quarter. Gross loans to corporate clients increased to 54 476.2, up by PLN 2 268.8 million (+4.3%) compared with the previous quarter. The volume of loans to individuals decreased by PLN 898.0 million or -1.3% against the end of December 2022 and amounted to PLN 70 224.1 million.

In Q1 2023, amounts due to customers, the main source of funding for the mBank Group's business, rose by PLN 6 786.1 million or +3.9% quarter on quarter. Amounts due to individual customers grew by PLN 6 152.5 million or +5.0% quarter on quarter and stood at PLN 129 042.5 million. Amounts due to corporate customers increased by PLN 1 314.5 million or +2.6% quarter on quarter and at the end of March 2023 reached PLN 51 295.1 million.

As a consequence, Loan-to-deposit ratio decreased to 67.2% compared to 69.0% at the end of 2022.

mBank Group's capital ratios decreased in Q1 2023 compared to the end of 2022. Total Capital Ratio stood at 15.8% at the end of March 2023, while Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio amounted to 13.3%. In the period under review, own funds decreased, mainly owing to discontinuation of the temporary treatment of unrealized gains and losses measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic (the so-called "COVID quick-fix") and inclusion of net impairment losses on loans and advances recognised in Q1 2023. At the same time, the negative impact was partially offset by an improvement in the valuation of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Over Q1 2023, there was an increase in the total risk exposure amount by PLN 2.6 billion.

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 balances with the Central Bank, 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 annualized based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualization 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 annualized based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualization 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 annualized based on the number of days in the analysed period (an annualization 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 2023

The international panel of experts sitting on the jury of the Euromoney Global Private Banking Awards has given mBank the award for the best domestic private bank. The Bank has distinguished itself with a global and comprehensive approach to wealth management. The Bank's state-of-the-art technology allows customers to use offered solutions (mobile onboarding, video calls or the digital portfolio management tools) in a fully secure and remote manner.

For another year in a row, mBank tried its hand at the Mobile Trends Awards 2022, winning one award in the 'Mobile Campaign' category. The jury appreciated the Bank's activities promoting mobile onboarding – the remote account opening process.

In the satisfaction survey carried out by ARC Rynek i Opinia for 2022, mBank came second in all three categories of the competition - satisfaction index, loyalty index and recommendation index among individual bank customers. The survey was carried out using the CAWI method (online surveys conducted at ePanel.pl). A total of 2 515 respondents aged 18–65 who have a bank account participated in the survey. It covered ten largest banks in Poland.

mBank won the LinkedIn Talent Awards in the 'Employer Branding' category for the second year in a row. In this category, an international jury recognises companies that build strong employer brands with significant social engagement.

In January 2023, mBank was among the elite group of companies included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index 2023 for the third time. The Index recognises publicly listed companies that actively support equal opportunities in the work environment. Bloomberg experts appreciated mBank's efforts to ensure equal pay for women and men and access to promotion, to facilitate women's return to work after maternity or child care leave, as well as our extensive policy to prevent unacceptable behaviour. mBank is one of the 418 companies from 45 countries recognised in this edition of the index. More information about the index can be found on the website: https://www.bloomberg.com/gei/about/.

Four analysts from mBank's Brokerage Bureau were distinguished in the 21st ranking published by the Parkiet daily. The ranking reflects the opinions of market participants. The questionnaires are completed by teams managing investment fund companies, open pension funds and closed-end investment funds. The ranking is divided into 14 sector categories. Analysts from mBank's Brokerage Bureau were the winners in four of them: the energy sector, technical analysis, the health and biotechnology sector, and the telecommunications, media and e-commerce sectors.

Economy and the banking sector in Q1 2023

Inflation continued to be the most important topic in the domestic economy in the first quarter of 2023. The overall CPI in March slowed to 16.1%, compared to 16.6% at the end of the previous year. The peak was reached in February at 18.4%. At the same time, core inflation (inflation excluding energy and food prices), remained high, above 12% in March. Although on an annual basis the price growth rate has begun to slow down (which is a trend the Bank expects to continue through the end of the year), the momentum of price growth remains high. In such an environment, in the Bank's opinion, the disinflation process will proceed mainly through statistical effects. The Bank forecasts that achieving a single-digit inflation by the end of the year may be difficult. An important element here is the inertia of food and energy price shocks, as well as the high rate of nominal wage growth. As a result, the Bank forecasts average annual inflation in 2023 at 13.3%.

High inflation still weighs on the real sphere. The GDP growth figures for the first quarter have not been published yet, but it can be assumed that there was a decline of more than 1% on an annual basis. Weakness can be seen in monthly data on retail sales or industrial production. Compared to the end of the previous year, the growth momentum has clearly deteriorated, which is in line with the Bank's earlier expectations. Construction production continued to do relatively well, which may be due to finishing work on investments. Economy probably reached the bottom in the first quarter. In the later part of the year, elements such as the disbursement of PIT refunds, falling inflation with a positive impact on real incomes, and government plans to support new mortgage credits will have a positive impact. At the same time, the Bank does not expect a quick return of investment activity. The picture in this field may change at the earliest at the end of the year and in the following year, when military spending may be more visible. For the whole of 2023, the Bank forecasts GDP growth of 0.4%. The factor most likely to translate into a deceleration of GDP growth should be the continuation of inventory reductions.

In the first quarter, the Monetary Policy Council made no changes in interest rates. As a result, the main interest rate is still 6.75%. Given the central bank's rhetoric, one may suspect that the monetary tightening cycle has been de facto completed. Although the market is pricing in some probability of rate cuts by the end of this year, the Bank's view is that rates will remain unchanged. The main rationale behind such a forecast is the disinflation profile, which may be largely statistically based. The momentum of price increases will sink too slowly to allow the Monetary Policy Council the opportunity to reduce the cost of money by the end of the year.

The zloty against the euro was relatively stable during the first three months of the year, with the exception of an episode of weakening of the Polish currency recorded in February (the effect of the US dollar appreciation in the broad market). One can conclude that the zloty remains remarkably resilient to global changes in risk appetite. The widening of the interest rate differential, which we faced before the topic of the US banking crisis emerged, did not depreciate the domestic currency. Since the end of 2022, yields on domestic debt have declined noticeably, directionally in line with the behavior of the core markets. The turmoil in the banking sector has caused an increase in credit risk in the domestic market, but overall its level has declined since the beginning of the year. This may be partly due to a smaller supply of government bonds in the domestic market at the expense of increased eurobond issuance. The cost of money in the economy remains high, which negatively affects lending, especially to the household sector. In the case of businesses, the situation is saved by working capital credit. The Bank expects over the course of the year a reduction in the growth rate of the volume of loans to businesses and a slight decrease in the volume of loans to households, which is to be concentrated outside of mortgage products. As for the volume of

deposits, the Bank forecasts a decline in the growth rate for the corporate sector and a relative stabilization of the growth rate among households.

At the end of Q1 2023, 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 121 533.5 million, which represents a quarter-on-quarter increase by PLN 1 350.3 million or 1.1%.

Gross loans to corporate entities increased on a quarterly basis by 2 268.8 million, i.e. 4.3%, and reached PLN 54 476.2 million (net of reverse repo or buy/sell back transactions and the FX effect, loans and advances to corporate entities decreased by -0.4% quarter on quarter).

The sales of loans to corporate entities decreased by 29.6% quarter on quarter and by 23.6% year on year to PLN 5 816.0 million in Q1 2023 (including new sales, limit increases, and renewals). The magnitude of the decrease of the new sales is attributable to the lower demand on the market and bank's selective approach to new financing. Credit renewals continued to dominate the sales in Q1 2023.

The volume of loans to individuals decreased by PLN 898.0 million or 1.3% against the end of Q4 2022 to PLN 70 224.1 million. Gross mortgage and housing loans to individuals decreased by 2.5% quarter on quarter.

In Q1 2023, mBank Group sold PLN 686.8 million of mortgage loans, 36.6% more than in the previous quarter, and 75.7% less than in Q1 2022. The sales of mortgage loans slowed down due to a cycle of interest rate hikes, which the Monetary Policy Council commenced in October 2021. The sales of non-mortgage loans in Q1 2023 reached PLN 2 114.4 million, representing an increase by 12.8% compared with Q4 2022 but a decrease by 24.3% compared with Q1 2022.

Net of FX effect, loans to individuals decreased by 1.3% quarter on quarter.

At the end of Q1 2023, gross loans and advances to the public sector decreased by PLN 8.4 million, or -7.8% quarter on quarter and stood at PLN 99.3 million.

Investment securities were the second largest asset category at the end of Q1 2023. They accounted for 25.9% of total assets and stood at PLN 56 414.5 million. On a yearly basis, investment securities increased by PLN 10 198.8 million or 22.1%. The increase is associated, among other things, with the Bank's investment of funds, which customers have placed as deposits, in securities, in particular in money bills.

Loans and advances to banks increased on a quarterly basis by PLN 3 632.6 million or 37.0%, mainly as a result of an increase in the value of reverse repo or buy/sell back transactions. These transactions are one of the Group's sources of short-term and medium-term liquidity, i.e. available for use in a short time. Other significant assets, available to cash by the Group in a short time, are recognized, among others, in cash and balances with the central bank, including the reserve requirement held at the NBP. In addition, these are uncollateralized securities within financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, among which securities of central banks are represented by 7-day NBP bills. Reverse repo or buy/sell back transactions with the Czech National Bank, included in the category of loans and advances to banks, among assets measured at amortized cost, also constitute a significant item of short-term liquidity.

The share of equity in total liabilities and equity of mBank Group remained at the same level compared to the previous quarter and stood at 6.1%.

2. Description of relevant accounting policies

Accounting basis

The condensed consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared for the 3-month period ended 31 March 2023. Comparative data include the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2022 for the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, additionally for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2022 for the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, and in the case of the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, data as at 31 December 2022.

These interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2022 published on 2 March 2023. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

In addition, selected explanatory information provide additional information in accordance with Decree of the Minister of Finance dated 29 March 2018 concerning the publication of current and periodic information by issuers of securities and the conditions of acceptance as equal information required by the law of other state, which is not a member state (Journal of Laws 2018, item 757).

Detailed accounting principles applied to the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the application of specific accounting estimates. It also requires the Management Board to use its own judgment when applying the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The issues in relation to which a significant professional judgement is required, more complex issues, or such issues where estimates or judgments are material to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Financial statements are prepared in compliance with materiality principle. Material omissions or misstatements of positions of financial statements are material if they could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of Group's financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of the omission or misstatement of the position of financial statements or a combination of both. The Group presents separately each material class of similar positions. The Group presents separately positions of dissimilar nature or function unless they are immaterial.

These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that all the entities of the Group continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, i.e. in the period of at least 12 months following the reporting date. As of the date of approving these statements, the Bank Management Board has not identified any events that could indicate that the continuation of the operations by the Group is endangered in the period of 12 months from the reporting date.

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.

Detailed information on the impact of legal risk related to CHF mortgage and housing loans is provided in Note 30.

Impact of credit holidays on the financial result of the Group

On 14 July 2022, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and aid to borrowers, which introduced the possibility of suspending the execution of mortgage contracts granted in Polish currency (so-called "credit holidays"). Credit holidays may apply to a single contract concluded in Polish zlotys for the financing of real estate intended to meet one's own housing needs. Borrowers are entitled to suspend 8 monthly instalments: 2 monthly instalments in each of the third and fourth quarter of 2022 and 1 monthly instalment in each of the four quarters of 2023. Credit holidays apply to both the principal and interest portions of the loan. Deadlines for repayment of instalments are extended without any additional interest for the suspension periods. The Group believes that the amendment to the contractual terms of the mortgage loans implemented by the Act constituted an insignificant modification of these financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9.5.4.3.

In 2022, the Group recognised the impact of credit holidays in the total amount of PLN 1 334.4 million, out of which PLN 1 322.4 million decreased the interest income of the Group and PLN 12.0 million related to the effect on hedge accounting and decreased the net trading income. In the first quarter of 2023, due to an updated calculation of the impact of credit holidays, the Group recognized PLN 52.2 million gain on non-substantial modification, which increased net interest income, and PLN 5.7 million impact on hedge accounting, which increased net trading income. The negative impact of credit holidays on the valuation of the loan portfolio is settled by the appropriate recognition of interest income calculated using the effective interest rate in periods in which customers taking advantage of credit holidays do not pay the interest according to the original schedules of the loan agreements.

To calculate the impact of credit holidays, the Group estimated that customers owning 82.5% of the value of assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio applied or will apply for the credit holidays and they will request on average 7.7 months of credit holidays. If the value of assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio increased by 1 percentage point in 2023, the amount of the credit holidays impact would increase by PLN 6.5 million.

By 31 March 2023, customers owning 80.9% of the value of the assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio had submitted applications applying for an average of 7.2 months of credit holidays. As of 31 March 2023 the gross carrying value of the loans being subject to the credit holidays amounted to PLN 24 486.1 million.

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 which are impaired, change by +/- 10%, the estimated loans and advances impairment would either decrease by PLN 70.8 million or increase by PLN 76.2 million (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 74.5 million and PLN 81.3 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

Actions taken in relation to the current situation in Ukraine

In the first quarter of 2023, the Group conducted a portfolio review in connection with 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 2023, 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 364.9 million and an off balance sheet exposure of PLN 351.9 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 2.7. of Consolidated financial statements of mBank Group for 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

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 2023 required the use of a forecast of profit before tax for the full fiscal year adjusted for the impact of legal risk costs associated with foreign currency loans, as well as a similarly adjusted 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 25.6% and was applied to the profit before tax for the first quarter of 2023 adjusted for the impact of legal risk costs related to foreign currency loans. In the first quarter of 2022, the projected annual effective tax rate was 28.2%.

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 2023 resulted from the banking tax and 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 classification

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. and mElements S.A., as well as the results of retail segments of mLeasing Sp. z o.o., Asekum Sp. z o.o. 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, 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. and the results of corporate segments of mLeasing Sp. z o. o., Asekum Sp. z o.o. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • 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 result of internal settlements of fund transfer pricing, 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 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 are 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 2.13 of Consolidated financial statements for 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

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 five 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,

Cash flow hedge accounting

Cash flow hedge accounting of the part of loans at a variable interest rate indexed to the market rate portfolio, granted by the Bank

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting of the part of loans at a variable interest rate indexed to the market rate portfolio, granted by the Bank. 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 2023 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".

29. 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

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.

Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost

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 Group. 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.

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 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 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 Group used curves based on cross-currency basis swap levels taking into account the original spread on subordinated liabilities and their maturities.

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 2023 and as at 31 December 2022.

During first quarter of 2023 and in 2022 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 2023 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 1 033 399 thousand and the fair value of government bonds and treasury bills measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of PLN 14 115 507 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 670 227 thousand and PLN 15 101 553 thousand, respectively). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 330 874 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 1 316 626 thousand).

In addition, as at 31 March 2023 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 754 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 746 thousand) and equity instruments of non-financial corporations in amount of PLN 5 331 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 6 129 thousand).

As at 31 March 2023 level 1 also includes liabilities from short sale of securities in the amount of PLN 625 919 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 260 538 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 2023 level 2 of the fair value hierarchy mainly includes the fair values of bills issued by NBP in the amount of PLN 20 135 051 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 17 483 362 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 2023 level 3 of the hierarchy presents the fair values of commercial debt securities issued by local banks and companies in the amount of PLN 1 582 660 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 1 568 799 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 2023 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 786 254 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 853 112 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

Moreover, as at 31 March 2023 level 3 covers mainly the fair value of equity securities amounting to PLN 184 007 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 185 042 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 2023, the cost of equity was estimated in the range from 13.1% to 13.6% (as at the end of 2022: from 13.9% to 14.4%).

As at 31 March 2023 Level 3 also includes fair value of investment property in the amount of PLN 136 909 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 136 909 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 6.75% used to discount cash flows.

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 2023 the valuation of these contracts amounted to PLN 18 876 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 31 890 thousand).

30. Legal risk related to mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers in CHF

Introduction

In recent years, a significant number of individual customers who took out mortgage and housing loans in CHF, challenged in court some of the provisions or entire agreements on the basis of which the Bank granted these loans. To date, there is no consistent line of judgments on the assessment of contractual provisions introducing an indexation mechanism and the consequences of establishing their abusiveness (ineffectiveness) issued by the courts in such cases.

The carrying amount of mortgage and housing loans granted to natural persons in CHF as of 31 March 2023 amounted to PLN 5.0 billion (i.e., CHF 1.1 billion) compared to PLN 6.1 billion (i.e. CHF 1.3 billion) as at the end of 2022. Additionally, the volume of the portfolio of loans granted in CHF to natural persons that were already fully repaid as of 31 March 2023, taking into account the exchange rate on the date of disbursement of individual loan tranches, amounted to PLN 8.0 billion (31 December 2022: PLN 7.5 billion).

Due to the significance of the legal issues related to the CHF loan portfolio for the financial position of mBank Group as at 31 March 2023, 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 CHF, 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

As of 31 March 2023, 19 028 individual court proceedings (31 December 2022: 17 849 proceedings) were initiated against the Bank by its customers in connection with CHF loan agreements with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 6 749.8 million (31 December 2022: PLN 5 982.1 million).

Out of the individual proceedings, 18 840 proceedings (31 December 2022: 17 627 proceedings) with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 6 745.8 million (31 December 2022: PLN 5 977.8 million) related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements and included claims for declaring ineffectiveness or invalidity in part (i.e. to the extent that the agreement contains contractual provisions related to indexation) or in whole of the loan agreements.

As of 31 March 2023 mBank received 2 605 final rulings in individual lawsuits (31 December 2022: 1 941 final rulings), out of which 106 rulings were favourable to the Bank and 2 499 rulings were unfavourable (31 December 2022: 97 rulings favourable and 1 844 unfavourable).

The Bank submits cassation appeals to the Supreme Court against legally binding unfavourable for the Bank judgments stating the absolute invalidity of the credit agreement. Unfavourable judgments were based on the same patterns of facts which in the past had resulted in different verdicts. Approximately 85% 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

The Bank was also sued by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman representing a group of 390 individuals – retail banking customers who entered into mortgage loan agreements indexed to CHF. This class action concerning indexation clauses was filed in the District Court in Łódź on 4 April 2016.

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.

By Order dated 13 March 2018 the Court set the Class at 1 731 persons. On 19 October 2018, the Court issued judgment dismissing all of Plaintiff's claims. In its oral 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, emphasising that both the agreements themselves and the indexation clause are in compliance with both applicable laws and the principles of social interaction. On 11 January 2019, the Plaintiff's appeal was delivered to the Bank, to which the Bank filed a response. On 27 February 2020, a hearing was held in the Court of Appeal in Łódź. On 9 March 2020, 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 12 January 2022, the hearing was held before the Regional Court in Łódź, and on 9 February 2022 the 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. The plaintiff appealed against this verdict, to which the Bank responded. On 25 April 2023, the Court of Appeal in Łódź suspended the proceeding until the Supreme Court resolves the legal issue in case III CZP 157/22, which will determine the composition in the class action proceedings.

As of 31 March 2023 the Bank recognised the impact of legal risk in the class action in the amount of PLN 295.0 million. The details of the methodology and calculation are described further in this note.

Information on the most important court proceedings regarding loans indexed to CHF

Rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding CHF mortgages

On 3 October 2019, the CJEU issued the ruling in the prejudicial mode regarding the mortgage loan linked to the Swiss franc granted by a Polish bank. The submitted prejudicial questions were to determine, among other things, if a generally applicable custom can be used where there is no provision in domestic law that could replace an abusive exchange rate clause. In accordance with CJEU's ruling, the question of abusiveness will be decided by Polish courts. CJEU did not refer to this issue. In addition, CJEU did not make a clear-cut decision regarding the consequences of an exchange rate clause being considered abusive by a domestic court. However, the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN and with interest calculated according to LIBOR was found doubtful by the Court. 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. CJEU approved the application of a disposable norm if the invalidity of the agreement would be unfavourable for the client. CJEU rejected the application of general provisions referring to a custom or equity principles.

In October 2020, prejudicial questions were referred to CJEU in two individual cases against mBank. The question referred in first case aims at determining the starting point for the limitation period in the case of consumer claims for undue performance. The question referred in the second case aims at determining whether, in the event of declaring the exchange rate clause abusive, it is possible to apply in its place the provision of the Civil Code referring to the average NBP exchange rate. On 17 March 2022, the parties were heard by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The litigation position was presented by the parties: Poland, the European Commission, Spain and Finland. On 8 September 2022, the CJEU issued a ruling upholding its previous jurisprudence. The Tribunal confirmed once again 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. The Tribunal also reiterated that the application of the supplementary standard is possible only if the cancellation of the contract is unfavourable to the borrower and the borrower agrees to apply this standard. Automatic application (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 would restore the balance of the parties. The Court of Justice has again emphasised that the purpose of Directive 93/13 is not to annul all contracts containing unfair terms.

On 29 April 2021, the CJEU issued a judgment in case C-19/20. According to this judgment, 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.

By the decision of 12 August 2021, another question was addressed to the CJEU (C-520/21), the subject of which is to determine whether in the event of cancellation of the loan agreement, the parties, in addition to the reimbursement of money paid in the performance of this agreement and statutory interest for delay from the moment of the call for payment, may also claim any other benefits, in particular remuneration, unjust enrichment, compensation, reimbursement or valorisation of the benefit. The hearing before the CJEU took place on 12 October 2022.

On 16 February 2023, the Opinion of the Advocate General of the CJEU was presented to Case C-520/21. As regards the consumer's claim, the Ombudsman pointed out that "it is for the referring court to determine, in the light of its national law, whether consumers are entitled to pursue such a claim and, if so, to rule on its merits." If, however, the referring court takes the view that national law entitles the

consumer also to claim additional benefits from the bank, Directive 93/13 does not preclude that. It is therefore for the referring court to determine, in the light of its national law, whether consumers are entitled to pursue such claims and, if so, to rule on their merits. The national courts may also exercise their jurisdiction to dismiss such an action where it constitutes an abuse of rights.

With regard to the bank's claims against the consumer, the Advocate General also notes that "it is in principle for the national court to determine, in the light of national law, whether the bank (...) may pursue claims against the consumer that go beyond reimbursement of the loan capital provided and payment of statutory interest for late payment", he considers that, even if national law were to permit such claims, Directive 93/13 precludes them, since it is clear from its general scheme that, rather than seeking to ensure a contractual balance between the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract, it seeks to avoid an imbalance between those rights and obligations to the detriment of consumers. In addition, a bank cannot derive economic benefit from a situation created by its own unlawful action, and the sanction of free credit is the usual effect of declaring a credit agreement retroactively null and void once the unfair terms have been deleted from it.

The Ombudsman's opinion is not binding on the CJEU, neither is it binding on the ordinary courts and the Supreme Court. The CJEU may share the Ombudsman's position, but it may also rule otherwise, interpreting Directive 93/13 differently. In particular, it may not rule on the bank's claims at all, as the proceedings before the national court concern only the "remuneration" that would be due to the consumer.

The Bank will await the judgment of the CJEU in this respect which is expected in second half of 2023 and subsequent development of Polish jurisprudence. The ruling issued in this case may be of significant importance for the shaping of the jurisprudence in matters of foreign currency indexed loans. It will also be reflected in the parameters such as the distribution of expected court rulings or scenarios, determining the behaviour of borrowers towards accepting settlements or filing lawsuits.

On 18 November 2021, the Court of Justice of the EU delivered its judgment in Case C-212/20, in which it assessed that in accordance with the provisions of Directive 93/13, the content of a so-called spreads clause must enable (on the basis of clear and comprehensible criteria) a reasonably well-informed, reasonably observant and rational consumer to understand how the exchange rate is to be determined, in such a way that the consumer is able to determine the rate applied by the trader himself at any time. Moreover, CJEU made an assessment that the provisions of Directive 93/13 preclude the interpretation of an illicit contract term in order to mitigate its unfairness.

In January 2022, further questions for a preliminary ruling were submitted to the CJEU in three cases pending against mBank. The question in the first case is aimed at determining whether, if there are grounds both for determining the absolute invalidity of the contract and for declaring the contract invalid (ineffective) due to the abusive clauses contained therein, the court should determine absolute nullity or a decision on the choice of sanctions belongs to the consumer. The questions in the second case concern the consequences of entering abusive clauses in the register, the possibility of repaying the loan from the beginning in a foreign currency and informing the consumer who is knowledgeable about the exchange rate risk. In the third case, the questions relate to the remuneration for the use of capital and the effects of the consumer's declaration regarding the lack of consent to uphold the abusive provision in relation to the ineffectiveness of the contract, the commencement of the limitation period for the bank's claims and statutory interest. The question remains partly consistent with the preliminary question of another bank before the CJEU in case C-520/21. The Bank presents a position consistent with the previous positions of the FSA and the NBP in favour of the legitimacy of formulating such claims. The CJEU only acted on the second and third cases, in which the Bank submitted its statements on 15 August 2022.

In February 2023, further questions for a preliminary ruling were submitted to the CJEU in the case pending against mBank. The first question concerns determining the beginning of the limitation period for the bank's claim against the consumer for the return of capital and aims to determine whether Directive 93/13 allows the national court to recognize that the principles of equity prevent the bank's claim for return of capital from being considered time barred. The second question concerns whether the bank, in addition to the return of the nominal amount of the capital granted to the consumer, may demand from the consumer the return of unjust enrichment resulting from the use of the bank's capital, or whether the bank may demand not the nominal amount of the capital, but the indexed amount. The time limit for taking a position in the case has not yet run.

Supreme Court resolutions on loans in CHF

On 29 January 2021, the motion for adopting a resolution has been submitted to the Supreme Court by the First President of the Supreme Court. The full bench of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court was to answer to the questions if abusive provisions can be replaced with provisions of civil law or common practice, whether it is possible to maintain indexed/denominated loan as a PLN loan with an interest rate based on LIBOR, whether the theory of balance or the theory of two conditionalities will apply in the event of the CHF loan invalidity, the starting point of the limitation period in the case of the bank's claim for

reimbursement of the amounts paid under the loan and whether banks and consumers can receive a remuneration for the use of their funds by the other party. The lack of a jurisprudence line, both domestic and of the CJEU, concerning remuneration for the use of capital is also significant for the shape of the provision. The position presented by banks has been strengthened by the opinions of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) and the National Bank of Poland (NBP) submitted to case no. III CZP 25/22 (III CZP 11/21), which support granting banks the right to such remuneration. Thus, the banks' claims in this respect should be regarded as at least plausible.

There was one non-public sitting in this case, during which the Supreme Court decided to request the Ombudsman, Financial Ombudsman, Children's Ombudsman, NBP and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to take a position. The positions of these bodies have been submitted.

At a closed session on 2 September 2021, the Supreme Court, pursuant to Article 267 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, decided to refer to the Court of Justice of the European Union with three questions for a preliminary ruling on the issue of appointing judges in the Republic of Poland. The verdict on the questions asked by the First President of the Supreme Court was not issued.

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 Supreme Court in written justification found that the risk of insolvency of either of the unduly enriched parties is largely mitigated by the right of retention of received benefits until the other party offers to repay received benefits or secures the claims for repayment.

On 7 May 2021 (III CZP 6/21), a resolution of 7 of the Supreme Court's judges which have the force of a legal principle was issued, in which it was decided that:

  • 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.

On 6 July 2021, the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court refused to pass a resolution on Swiss franc indexed loans. The Supreme Court indicated that the question of whether the balance theory or the two conditionalities theory should be applied has already been resolved in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, including the resolution of 7 judges of 7 May 2021 (III CZP 6/21), and earlier in the resolution of 16 February 2021 (III CZP 11/20).

On 29 July 2021 the Supreme Court composed of 3 judges presented the legal issue to be resolved by a panel of 7 judges of the Supreme Court, which came down to the answer to the question whether, in the event of a loan agreement being declared invalid, a loan granted in Polish currency, indexed to a foreign currency, repaid by borrowers, the amount of possible enrichment of the lender should be calculated taking into account only the nominal amount of loan instalments, or the interest rate on instalments according to the reference rate appropriate for loans indexed to a foreign currency or appropriate for loans in PLN should be taken into account. The deadline for examining the issue, initially set for 8 November 2021, was removed from the case list, and the judge-rapporteur was also changed.

On 28 April 2022, the Supreme Court issued a resolution (III CZP 40/22) in which it indicated that in disputes with consumers, the provision of Article 385(1) of the Civil Code constitutes lex specialis in relation to Article 353(1) of the Civil Code. Consequently, when there are prerequisites for the application of both legal norms, the court should apply the sanction of ineffectiveness of the contractual clauses, without declaring it invalid on general principles.

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 2023, would amount to PLN 4.8 billion if only active portfolio indexed/denominated to CHF was converted (unaudited data). 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 will be individually negotiated with customers. The Bank will also reimburse low contribution insurance premiums by redeeming capital equal to the sum of premiums collected from the customer.

After conversion, the customer will be able to 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, eliminate the currency risk and, due to the offered preferential interest rate and the possibility to choose a temporarily fixed interest rate, will minimise the interest rate risk. Settlements will be signed in an out-of-court mode, although, the Bank will allow to any customer who wishes to do so to sign a settlement at an arbitration court.

As of 31 March 2023 the Bank concluded 4 682 settlements (as of 31 December 2022: 1 886 settlements).

Accounting policies for recognising the effect of legal risk related to court cases concerning CHF mortgage and housing loans to individual customers 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 CHF 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 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 CHF 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 CHF and the settlement program is based on historical observations and due to the lack of market data and lack of clear jurisprudence, 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 CHF mortgages and housing loans and the settlement program included in the Group's statement of financial position is shown in the table below.

31.03.2023 31.12.2022
Impact of legal risk concerning lawsuits and settlement program related to active loans recognised as
a reduction of gross carrying amount of loans

766 706 709 187
The cumulative impact of legal risk associated with litigation related to indexation clauses
mortgages and housing loans in CHF
6 645 166 6 461 919

Total costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans recognised in the income statement for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to PLN 808.5 million (in first quarter of 2022: PLN 192.8 million). These costs result mainly from the update of the settlement program cost, execution of final court verdicts and the costs of concluded settlements.

Methodology of calculating the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases

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 with the use of statistical methods over the remaining life of the portfolio based on the Bank's history of legal cases and assumes a further inflow of new cases. The Bank assumes that the inflow of plaintiffs will be significant until the end of 2026. The Bank assumes that vast majority of the projected cases will be filed until the end of 2024, and then their number will decrease following the expected unification of the jurisprudential line.

For the purpose of calculating the impact of legal risk mBank assumes that approximately 41% of CHF borrowers i.e. 32 thousand borrowers, including 28 thousand borrowers with active loans (representing approximately 70% of borrowers with active loans) and 4 thousand borrowers with repaid loans (representing approximately 11% of borrowers with repaid loans) filed or with intention to file a lawsuit against the Bank (as of 31 December 2022: 38%, i.e. 31 thousand borrowers). Moreover, the Bank assumed that some portion of borrowers will sign settlements. The assumption, 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% of the borrowers (both holding active loans in CHF as well as borrowers who already repaid their loans in CHF) filed a lawsuit against the Bank, the impact of the legal risk would increase by approximately PLN 51.2 million (while other relevant assumptions remain constant) as compared to 31 March 2023, of which PLN 41.6 million would reduce gross carrying amount of the loans, and PLN 9.6 million would increase the provisions for legal proceedings.

The Bank estimates that 17.4% of borrowers with active CHF indexed loans will not decide to sue the Bank or sign a settlement with the Bank in the future and 88.5% of borrowers who 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.

Distribution of expected court rulings

The expected distribution of court rulings was based on final judgments issued in cases against the Bank starting from 2020. As currently there is still no homogenous line of verdicts taken by the courts the Bank took into account three possible scenarios for termination of court proceedings: (i) 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, (ii) 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) and (iii) dismissal of the claim. In scenario (ii), the Bank takes into account two versions of the cancellation, assuming that the parties settle in a formula similar to the settlement on a net basis. The first version assumes that the consumer is obliged to return the paid-up capital together with the remuneration for using it, and the second assumes that the consumer is obliged to return the capital without remuneration. The Bank assumed the probability of return on capital with remuneration at the level of 70%. If the assumed probability of return on capital with remuneration changed by +/- 1 percentage point and all other relevant assumptions remained constant, the impact of the legal risk would change by +/- PLN 19.2 million, of which PLN 17.2 million would change the gross carrying amount of loans, and PLN 2.0 million provisions for legal proceedings.

Each of these scenarios is associated with a different level of predicted loses for the Bank. As of 31 March 2023 the Bank assumed probability of unfavourable scenario at the level of 95% (as of 31 December 2022: 95%). If the assumed probability of unfavourable scenario changed by +/- 1 percentage point and all other relevant assumptions remained constant, the impact of the legal risk would change by +/- PLN 54.3 million, of which PLN 48.6 million would change the gross carrying amount of loans, and PLN 5.7 million provisions for legal proceedings.

Probability of settlement acceptance

As there is currently no sufficiently reliable and complete data in the market that would allow the Bank to make clear estimates of the levels of acceptance of settlements in CHF cases, the Bank assumed the probability of accepting the settlements partially based on the available market data, the results of the completed pilot of the settlement program concluded by the Bank in 2021 and 2022 and based on its own forecasts. As at 31 March 2023, the Bank assumed 30% probability of settlements acceptance for the entire active portfolio (32% as at 31 December 2022).

In the event of a change in the probability of accepting settlements by +/- 1 percentage point, with the remaining significant assumptions unchanged, the total amount of the impact of legal risk would change by +/- PLN 3.9 million which would change the gross carrying amount of loans.

Methodology of calculating the impact of the legal risk related to the class action case

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

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 2023 amounted to PLN 828 904 thousand of which PLN 775 644 thousand concerns to provisions for legal proceedings relating to loans in foreign currencies (as at 31 December 2022, respectively PLN 767 508 thousand and PLN 718 128 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 relating to the issuer's contingent liabilities

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. The verdict is not final, on 27 March 2023 LPP S.A. has filed an appeal.

Tax inspections

On 11 May 2021, the Head of the Customs and Tax Office in Opole (Urząd Celno-Skarbowy w Opolu) has initiated tax audits regarding the correctness and reliability of withholding tax (WHT) settlements on payments listed in Art. 21 sec. 1 of the Act of 15 February 1992 on corporate income tax for years 2018 and 2019. The tax audit is under way.

On 9 September 2022, the Office for Selected Economic Entities (Úrad pre vybrané hospodárske subjekty) in Bratislava has initiated tax audits regarding the correctness of settlements of corporate income tax (CIT) for 2019 year in mBank S.A. Slovak Branch. The tax audit is under way.

The tax authorities may inspect at any time the books and records within 5 years subsequent to the reported tax year and may impose additional tax assessments and penalties. In the opinion of the Management Board there are no circumstances, which would indicate that crystallising of material tax liabilities in this respect is probable.

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 submitted objections. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not received a decision from the Social Insurance Institution regarding the results of the inspection.

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 8 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 2023, the Group had a provision in the amount of PLN 119 736 thousand (as at 31 December 2022: PLN 99 346 thousand).

Inspection by the Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA Office)

In the period from October till December 2018 the PFSA Office employees carried out an inspection in the Bank in order to investigate whether the activities of mBank S.A. in the area of fulfilling its duties as the depositary were in conformity with the law and agreements on the performance of functions of the depositary, in particular in conformity with the Act of 27 May 2004 on Investment Funds and Management of Alternative Investment Funds (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1355, as later amended).

The detailed findings of the inspection were presented in the protocol delivered to the Bank on 11 February 2019. On 25 February 2019, the Bank delivered to the PFSA Office its objections to the protocol as well as additional explanations related to the issues being the subject of the inspection.

On 1 April 2019, the Bank received PFSA response to the objections to the inspection protocol as well as PFSA recommendations in regard to the adjustment of Bank's activity as a depositary bank for investment funds to the applicable law. All objections of the Bank have been rejected by the regulator.

On 25 April 2019, the Bank submitted to PFSA Office a declaration of actions taken as realisation of post inspection recommendations. PFSA by letter dated 4 September 2019 objected to the implementation of selected recommendations. On 11 October 2019 Bank submitted to PFSA the response addressing given objections, in which the description of taken actions was further specified as well as some new solutions for implementation were presented. On 5 December 2019, the PFSA Office sent to the Bank a reply to the letter containing the acceptance of some of the Bank's activities aimed at implementing post-audit recommendations and clarifications of other expectations that are being implemented. On 14 May 2020, the Bank formally confirmed the implementation of all the PFSA recommendations.

On 27 February 2020, the Bank received the decision of PFSA Office dated 25 February 2020 to initiate administrative proceedings regarding the imposition of an administrative penalty on the Bank, pursuant to the provisions of the Act dated 27 May 2004 on investment funds and management of alternative investment funds. On 23 April 2021, the Bank received a decision of the PFSA dated 16 April 2021 regarding this proceeding, imposing a fine on the Bank in the total amount of PLN 4 300 thousand. The Bank paid the fine on 17 March 2022.

On 7 May 2021, the Bank applied to the Financial Supervision Authority for reconsideration of the case. On 17 December 2021, PFSA Office upheld its decision of 16 April 2021. On 21 January 2022, the Bank filed a complaint with the Provincial Administrative Court against the decision of PFSA. On 24 August 2022, the Provincial Administrative Court dismissed the Bank's complaint regarding a fine. On 14 November 2022, the Bank filed a cassation complaint with the Supreme Administrative Court in the above case.

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. In a letter of 2 January 2023, the President of UOKiK extended the proceedings until 30 April 2023.
  • On 21 July 2017, the UOKiK instigated proceedings against mBank with regard to violation of consumers' collective interests. The UOKiK charged the Bank with failing to adequately inform clients about FX risk and about shifting FX risk onto consumers, and with incorrectly determining (inflating) credit instalments. In the letter dated 18 August 2017 the Bank responded to the charges. In the letter dated 18 February 2019 the UOKiK President requested detailed information on the handling of mortgages indexed to foreign currencies, to which the Bank replied. In the letter dated 14 October 2021 the UOKiK President informed the Bank that the evidentiary proceedings had ended and appointed a time limit for the Bank to peruse the case file and to comment on the evidence collected in the case. The Bank commented on the evidence collected within the prescribed period. The President of UOKiK extended the termination of the proceedings until 31 July 2022. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the Group has not received information about another extension of the proceedings.
  • By way of 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. On 22 August 2022, mBank S.A. took a stance on the accusations made in the said decision.

■ Transitional arrangements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

Until 31 December 2022 mBank Group included transitional provisions regarding the temporary treatment of unrealised gains and losses on financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, contained in the regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2020/873 of 24 June 2020 amending Regulations (EU) No 575/2013 and (EU) 2019/876 as regards certain adjustments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the calculation of own funds, capital ratios and leverage ratio.

The application of the transitional provisions was intended to mitigate the negative impact of unrealised losses on government and local government debt instruments during the COVID-19 pandemic and the decision to apply them meant that the Group was able to limit the impact of significant part of the volatility of the market valuation of the government and local government bonds portfolio.

The transitional arrangements ceased to apply from 1 January 2023.

The issues in relation to which a significant professional judgement is required, more complex issues, or such issues where estimates or judgments are material to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.

Financial statements are prepared in compliance with materiality principle. Material omissions or misstatements of positions of financial statements are material if they could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of Bank's financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of the omission or misstatement of the position of financial statements or a combination of both. The Bank presents separately each material class of similar positions. The Bank presents separately positions of dissimilar nature or function unless they are immaterial.

Previously, lease liabilities were presented within the item Liabilities to customers.

■ Reclassification of loans and advances received from the European Investment Bank (adjustment 3)

Previously, changes in the fair value of hedged items in the interest rate hedge portfolio were presented in a separate line item on the asset or liability side depending on the sign of the balance, i.e. gains related to hedging the portfolio of assets or losses related to hedging the portfolio of liabilities were reported as a separate title in the asset line item, while losses related to hedging the portfolio of assets or gains related to hedging the portfolio of liabilities were reported as a separate title in the liability line item.

The above changes were due to the adjustment of the presentation of selected assets, liabilities and income positions to the prevailing market practice.

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

Detailed information on the impact of legal risk related to CHF mortgage and housing loans is provided in Note 30 of Condensed consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group for the first quarter of 2023.

Impact of credit holidays on the financial result of the Bank

On 14 July 2022, the President of the Republic of Poland signed the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and aid to borrowers ("Act"), which introduced the possibility of suspending the execution of mortgage contracts granted in Polish currency (so-called "credit holidays"). Credit holidays may apply to a single contract concluded in Polish zlotys for the financing of real estate intended to meet one's own housing needs. Borrowers are entitled to suspend 8 monthly instalments: 2 monthly instalments in each of the third and fourth quarter of 2022 and 1 monthly instalment in each of the four quarters of 2023. Credit holidays apply to both the principal and interest portions of the loan. Deadlines for repayment of instalments are extended without any additional interest for the suspension periods. The Bank believes that the amendment to the contractual terms of the mortgage loans implemented by the Act constituted an insignificant modification of these financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9.5.4.3.

In 2022, the Bank recognised the impact of credit holidays in the total amount of PLN 1 334.4 million, out of which PLN 955.4 million related to mBank loan portfolio and decreased the interest income of the Bank, PLN 367.0 million related to mBank Hipoteczny loan portfolio and decreased the share in profits (losses) of entities under the equity method and PLN 12.0 million related to the effect on hedge accounting and decreased the net trading income. In the first quarter of 2023, due to an updated calculation of the impact of credit holidays, the Bank recognized PLN 37.1 million gain on non-substantial modification related to mBank loan portfolio, which increased net interest income, PLN 15.1 million impact related to mBank Hipoteczny loan portfolio, which increased the share in profits (losses) of entities under the equity method and PLN 5.7 million impact on hedge accounting, which increased net trading income. The negative impact of credit holidays on the valuation of the loan portfolio is settled by the appropriate recognition of interest income calculated using the effective interest rate in periods in which customers taking advantage of credit holidays do not pay the interest according to the original schedules of the loan agreements.

To calculate the impact of credit holidays, the Bank estimated that customers owning 82.9% and 81.7% of the value of the assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio of mBank and mBank Hipoteczny respectively applied or will apply for the credit holidays and they will request on average 7.7 months of credit holidays. If the value of assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio increased by 1 percentage point in 2023, the amount of the credit holidays impact would increase by PLN 6.5 million.

By 31 March 2023, customers owning 81.6% and 79.2% of the value of the assumed eligible mortgage loan portfolio of mBank and mBank Hipoteczny respectively had submitted applications applying for an average of 7.2 months of credit holidays. As of 31 March 2023 the gross carrying value of loans being subject to the credit holidays amounted to PLN 17 487.4 million at mBank and PLN 6 998.8 million at mBank Hipoteczny.

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, weighed by the probability of realisation of specific scenarios) for portfolio of loans and advances which are impaired, change by +/- 10%, the estimated loans and advances impairment would either decrease by PLN 46.8 million or increase by PLN 47.5 million (as at 31 December 2022: PLN 49.7 million and PLN 51.1 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

Actions taken in relation to the current situation in Ukraine

In the first quarter of 2023, the Bank conducted a portfolio review in connection with 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 2023, 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 282.5 million and an off-balance sheet exposure of PLN 351.9 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 2.5. of financial statements of mBank S.A. for 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

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 2023 required the use of a forecast of profit before tax for the full fiscal year adjusted for the impact of legal risk costs associated with foreign currency loans, as well as a similarly adjusted 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 24.5% and was applied to the profit before tax for the first quarter of 2023 adjusted for the impact of legal risk costs related to foreign currency loans. In the first quarter of 2022, the projected annual effective tax rate was 27.0%.

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 2023 resulted from the banking tax and 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.

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

Estimates relating to leases, where the Bank is a lessee, in areas such as 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 are presented in Note 2.22 to the financial statements of mBank S.A. for 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

The total costs of remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and other key management personnel of the Bank that perform their duties from 1 January to 31 March 2023 recognised in the Bank's income statement for that period amounted to PLN 8 917 thousand (in the period from 1 January to 31 March 2022: PLN 9 805 thousand).

With regard to the Management Board and other key management personnel the remuneration costs include also remuneration in the form of shares and share options.

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

In the three-month period, ended on 31 March 2023, 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

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-to-model 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-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 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 assets and 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 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.

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 a credit risk related bonds – credit-linked notes (CLNs), the Bank uses the method of discounted cash flows bonds for the valuation. Discounted factor 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 against the issuer's credit risk with the deposited collateral, an assumption was made that these parameters would remain unchanged during the life of the bond.

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 Bank used curves based on cross-currency basis swap levels taking into account the original spread on subordinated liabilities and their maturities.

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 2023 and as at 31 December 2022.

During the first quarter of 2023 and during 2022 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 2023 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 1 033 399 thousand and the fair value of government bonds measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of PLN 13 307 437 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 670 227 thousand and PLN 14 300 990 thousand, respectively). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 330 874 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 1 316 626 thousand).

In addition, as at 31 March 2023 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 754 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 746 thousand) and equity instruments of non-financial corporations in amount of PLN 5 331 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 6 129 thousand).

As at 31 March 2023 Level 1 also includes liabilities from short sale of securities quoted on active markets in the amount of PLN 625 919 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 260 538 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 19 975 258 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 17 083 666 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 2 097 830 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 2 166 245 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 2023 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 20 184 620 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 20 174 363 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 2022, published on 2 March 2023.

Moreover level 3 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 136 933 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 120 670 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 2023, the cost of equity was estimated at the level in the range from 13.1% to 13.6% (as at the end of 2022: from 13.9% to 14.4%).

As at 31 March 2023 level 3 also includes fair value of investment property in the amount of PLN 136 909 thousand (31 December 2022: PLN 136 909 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 6.75% used to discount cash flows.

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.

■ Transitional arrangements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

Until 31 December 2022 mBank included transitional provisions regarding the temporary treatment of unrealised gains and losses on financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, contained in the regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2020/873 of 24 June 2020 amending Regulations (EU) No 575/2013 and (EU) 2019/876 as regards certain adjustments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the calculation of own funds, capital ratios and leverage ratio.

The application of the transitional provisions was intended to mitigate the negative impact of unrealised losses on government and local government debt instruments during the COVID-19 pandemic and the decision to apply them meant that the Bank was able to limit the impact of significant part of the volatility of the market valuation of the government and local government bonds portfolio.

The transitional arrangements ceased to appeal from 1 January 2023.

The measures reported calculated taking into account the transitional provisions as well as measures calculated without taking into account the transitional provisions are presented below.
