Main quarterly variations

  • NII: asset repricing more than offsets increase in funding costs
  • Fee income: reflected commercial campaigns related to transactional fees.
  • Other revenues: sector banking tax increases from €64m in 2023 to €79m in 2024
  • Opex: growth in line with current guidance owing to the expected increase in personnel costs
  • Other provisions / Other profits or losses: contained cost of risk and RE provisions becoming non-material following the significant decrease of balances.

This presentation (the Presentation) has been prepared by Unicaja Banco, S.A. (the Company or Unicaja Banco) for informational use only.

The recipient of this presentation has the obligation of undertaking its own analysis of the Company. The information provided herein is not to be relied upon in substitution for the recipient's own exercise of independent judgment with regard to the operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company. The information contained in this presentation does not purport to be comprehensive or to contain all the information that a prospective purchaser of securities of the Company may desire or require in deciding whether or not to purchase such securities, and, unless otherwise stated, it has not been verified by the Company or any other person.

The information contained in the Presentation may be subject to change without notice and must not be relied upon for any purpose. Neither the Company nor any of affiliates, advisors or agents makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of any information contained in this document and, by hereby, shall not be taken for granted. Each Unicaja Banco and its affiliates, advisors or agents expressly disclaims any and all liabilities which may be based on this document, the information contained or referred to therein, any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, advisors or agents undertake any obligation to provide the recipients with access to additional information or to update this document or to correct any inaccuracies in the information contained or referred to in the Presentation.

Unicaja Banco cautions that this Presentation may contain forward looking statements with respect to the business, financial condition, results of operations, strategy, plans and objectives of the Unicaja Banco and its affiliates. While these forward looking statements represent Unicaja Banco's judgment and future expectations concerning the development of its business, a certain number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from the current expectations of Unicaja Banco and its affiliates. These factors include, but are not limited to, (1) general market, macroeconomic, governmental, political and regulatory trends; (2) movements in local and international securities markets, currency exchange rate and interest rates; (3) competitive pressures; (4) technical developments; and (5) changes in the financial position or credit worthiness of Unicaja Banco's and its affiliates customers, obligors and counterparts. These and other risk factors published in past and future filings and reports of Unicaja Banco, including those with the Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission (CNMV) and available to the public both in Unicaja Banco's website (https://www.unicajabanco.com/es/inversores-y-accionistas/informacion-economico-financiera/informes-financieros) and in the CNMV's website (https://www.cnmv.es), as well as other risk factors currently unknown or not foreseeable, which may be beyond Unicaja Banco's control, could adversely affect its business and financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those implied in the forward-looking statements.

Market and competitive position data in the Presentation has generally been obtained from industry publications and surveys or studies conducted by third-party sources. Peer firm information presented herein has been taken from peer firm public reports. There are limitations with respect to the availability, accuracy, completeness and comparability of such data. Unicaja Banco has not independently verified such data and can provide no assurance of its accuracy or completeness. Likewise, certain statements in the Presentation regarding the market and competitive position data are based on the internal analyses of Unicaja Banco, which involve certain assumptions and estimates. These internal analyses have not been verified by any independent source and there can be no assurance that the assumptions or estimates are accurate. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any of the industry, market or Unicaja Banco's competitive position data contained in the Presentation.

This Presentation includes accounts and estimations issued by the management, which may have not been audited by the Company's auditors. In addition, this document includes certain Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) as defined in the guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415es) (the ESMA guidelines). This report uses certain APMs, which are performance measures that have been calculated using the financial information from Unicaja Banco and its affiliates but that are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial framework and therefore have neither been audited nor are capable of being completely audited. These APMs are aimed to enable a better understanding of Unicaja Banco's and its affiliates' financial performance but should be considered only as additional disclosures and in no case as a replacement of the financial information prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Moreover, the way the Unicaja Banco defines and calculates these measures may differ to the way these are calculated by other companies, and therefore they may not be comparable. Please refer to Unicaja Banco's past and future filings and reports including those with CNMV and available to the public both in Unicaja Banco's website (https://www.unicajabanco.com/es/inversores-y-accionistas/informacion-economico-financiera/informes-financieros) and in the CNMV's website (https://www.cnmv.es) for further details of the APMs used, including its definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS. In any case, the financial information included in this Presentation has not been reviewed to the extent of its accuracy and completeness and, therefore, neither such financial information nor the APMs shall be relied upon.

Neither this presentation nor any copy of it may be taken, transmitted into, disclosed or distributed in the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan. The distribution of this presentation in other jurisdictions may also be restricted by law and persons into whose possession this presentation comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions.
