2 Accounting principles

2.1 Basis for preparation

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Spółka Akcyjna Group for the 3-month period ended 31 March 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union and in accordance with the requirements set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 29 of March 2018 on current and periodic information provided by issuers of securities and the conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the law of a non-member state.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Group for 2022.

The interim condensed consolidated income statement, interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023 and interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2023 including the comparatives have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements ended 31 December 2022, except for the changes in the standards that entered into force on 1 January 2023 and changes in accounting policies described in Note 2.2.

Scope and reporting currency

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank SA Group comprise the data of the Bank and its subsidiaries. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Polish zloty ("PLN"). All figures, unless otherwise indicated, are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Going concern

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank SA Group have been prepared on the assumption that the entities within the Group will continue as going concerns in the foreseeable future, not less than 12 moths from the balance sheet date i.e. after 31 March 2023.

As at the date of approval of this report by the Bank's Management Board, there are no circumstances indicating a threat to the continued operation of the Capital Group. Taking this assumption, the Management Board took into account in its assessment the impact of factors subject to uncertainty, in particular the the armed conflict in Ukraine lasting from 24 February 2022, on the macroeconomic situation and its own operations.

Based on the analyzes, the Group does not identify the negative impact of the circumstances on the assessment of the validity of the preparation of the financial statements, assuming no threat to the Group's going concern in the foreseeable future.

2.2 Accounting principles

2.2.1 Relevant estimates

The Group makes estimates and makes assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities presented in this and the next reporting period. Estimates and assumptions that are subject to continuous evaluation are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events that seem justified in a given situation.

Recognition of bancassurance income

The Group allocates the received remuneration for distribution of insurance products related to the sale of loans – in accordance with the economic content of the transaction – as remuneration constituting:

  • an integral part of the remuneration received for the offered financial instruments;
  • remuneration for agency services;
  • remuneration for the provision of additional activities performed during the insurance contract (recognised by the Group over a period when the services are provided).

The economic title of the received remuneration determines the way it is disclosed in the Bank's books.

The model of "relative fair value" is applied to determine the split of the remuneration related to insurance offered in connection with cash and mortgage loans and insurance sold without any relationship to financial instruments.

The "relative fair value" model approved by the Group consists in estimating the fair value of each element of the overall service of loan sale with insurance in order to determine the proportion of fair value of both services. In accordance with such proportion of fair value, remuneration under the joint loan and insurance transaction is allocated to each component.

Impairment of loans, expected credit losses

At each reporting date, the Group assesses the credit quality of the receivables and assesses whether there are objective triggers for impairment of credit exposures and whether the credit exposure has impaired.

The Group accepts that a financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired and such impairment loss is incurred only when there are objective indications resulting from one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of such asset and the event (or events) causing trigger has a negative impact on

the expected future cash flows of a given exposure, leading to the recognition of a loss. Therefore, for all impaired credit exposures, the Group determines an allowance representing the difference between the gross exposure value and the expected recoveries after taking into account the default status / probability in a given time horizon.

Exposures with no identified impairment indications are grouped in homogeneous groups in terms of the risk profile and a provision is recognised for such group of exposures to cover expected losses (ECL).

The estimated losses expected are based on:

  • estimated exposure value at the time of default (EAD model);
  • estimated distribution of risk of default within the lifetime of the exposure (life-time PD model);
  • estimated level of loss in case of default of the client (LGD model).

Information on the adopted assumptions affecting the amount of expected losses are presented in Note 19 – Loans and advances to customers.

Non-current assets impairment

In accordance with IAS 36, the Group assesses non-current assets in terms of the existence of premises indicating their impairment. If there is such evidence, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of a given asset exceeds its recoverable amount, its impairment is recognized, and a write-off is made to adjust its value to the level of its recoverable amount.

Investment financial assets

For the purposes of disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7, the Group estimates changes to measurements of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and derivative instruments with a linear risk profile not covered with hedge accounting assuming a parallel shift of profitability curves by 50pb. To this end, the Group constructs profitability curves on the basis of market data. The Group analyses the impact on transaction measurement of changes to profitability curves with the assumed scenarios.

Provisions for the reimbursement of commissions in the event of early repayment

The Group constantly monitors the value of the estimated amount of expected payments resulting from prepayments of consumer loans made before the judgment date of Court of Justice of the European Union ('CJEU') of 11 September 2019 in case C-383/18 (so-called Lexitor case). The basis for updating the value of the estimate is the inclusion in the calculation of the historically observed trend of the amount of loan cost reimbursements resulting from the customer complaints submitted to the Bank and taking into account the scenario of a change in the Group's approach to communication with customers as a result of the evolution of market practice or the position of the regulator.

Provision for legal risk related to the FX indexed loan portfolio

The Group estimated the costs of legal risk related to the FX indexed loan portfolio and applied the provisions of IFRS 9.B.5.4.6 to its recognition - it treated this estimate as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the portfolio of mortgage loans indexed with foreign currencies or created provisions in accordance with the requirements of IAS 37( where the amount of the estimated legal risk costs exceeds the gross carrying amount of the credit exposure or the amount of the estimate relates to repaid foreign currency mortgage loans).

The costs of legal risk constituting an adjustment to the gross carrying amount were estimated taking into account a number of assumptions, including the Group's assumption of an increase in the market scale of claims, e.g. in connection with the position of the Advocate General of the CJEU published on 16 February 2023.

These costs were estimated on the basis of:

  • the pace of the inflow of disputes regarding the legal risk of mortgage loans in foreign currencies and the estimated percentage of the portfolio of FX mortgage loans that will be the subject of litigation, observed so far and forecast by the Group in future periods,
  • the financial impact of the cancellation or conversion,
  • the percentage of litigations lost by banks, reported by the Polish Bank Association, including the percentage of cases ended with the cancellation of the contract and the percentage of cases ended with the conversion of contracts into PLN.

Credit vacation

On 14 July 2022, the act of 7 July 2022 on crowdfunding for business ventures and assistance to borrowers was signed by the President of the Republic of Poland. This law regulates the three main issues outlined below. Pursuant to Art. 73 of this Act, the Bank is obliged, at the borrower's request, to suspend the repayment of the mortgage loan granted in the Polish currency, with the exception of loans indexed or denominated in a currency other than the Polish currency. The suspension of loan repayment applies only to one agreement concluded to satisfy one's own housing needs.

During the period of suspension of the loan repayment, the borrower is not obliged to make payments under the loan agreement, except for insurance fees related to this agreement.

In connection with the above, as at the date of signing the Act, based on IFRS 9 5.4.3, Alior Bank recalculated the gross carrying amount of loan exposures based on the present value of expected cash flows modified based on the provisions of the Act (i.e. taking into account the possibility of suspending the repayment of loan installments in time frame while extending the loan period), discounted at the original effective interest rate. The modification loss was recognized in the financial result as a reduction of interest income.

As at 31 December 2022, the Group recognized a loss on modification in the amount of PLN 502 million.

At each balance sheet date, the Group updates the estimate of future cash flows, taking into account the estimated size of the loan portfolio that may benefit from the holidays and the number of installments that can be used.

As at 31 March 2023, the Group verified the previous estimates and recognized an additional cost related to the modification of loan agreements in the amount of PLN 11 million (for an additional approx. 6% of the portfolio, which will benefit from an average of approx. 2 months of credit holidays). Thus, the total loss on modification estimated on the basis of the participation ratio - the portfolio using credit vacation in the amount of 75%, amounts to PLN 513 million in total.

Actuarial provision

Provisions for employee benefits are measured with actuarial techniques and assumptions. The calculation covers all retirement benefits potentially disbursable in the future. The provision has been established on the basis of a list of persons with all the required personal data, including seniority, age, and gender. The accrued provisions are equal to the discounted payments to be made in the future subject to staff rotation and apply to the period until the end of the reporting period.

Fair value measurement rules

The principles for the fair value measurement of derivatives and non-quoted debt securities measured at fair value are presented in Note 29 – Fair value and have not changed from the principles presented in the financial statements prepared as at 31 December 2022.

Hedge accounting

For the purposes of disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7, the Group estimates changes to measurements of the derivative instruments with a linear risk profile assuming a parallel shift of profitability curves by 50 pb. To this end, the Group constructs profitability curves on the basis of market data. The Group analyses the impact on transaction profitability of a change of profitability curves for the portfolio of derivative instruments with a linear risk profile, covered with hedge accounting.

2.2.2 Significant accounting policies

Detailed accounting policies were presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Group for the year ended 31 December 2022 published on Alior Bank's website on 3 March 2023.

2.2.3 Changes in accounting standards

In these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the same accounting standards have been applied as in the case of annual consolidated financial statements for the year 2022 and the standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable to the annual periods starting 1 January 2023 mentioned below:

Change Impact on the Group's report
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and amendments to IFRS 17- first
application and IFRS 9 - comparative information
It replaces IFRS 4 "Insurance Agreements" which enabled the
continuation of recognition of insurance contracts in accordance with the
accounting principles in force in national standards, and as a result meant
the use of many different solutions. IFRS 17 introduces a requirement for
consistent recognition of all insurance contracts. Contractual obligations
will be recognized in current values instead of historical cost. IFRS 17 and
amendments to IFRS 17 will not have a significant impact on the Group's
financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting
Clarify how accounting policies and accounting estimates relate to each
other, by explaining that accounting estimates are used in applying
accounting policies. The change will not have a significant impact on the
Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS
Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies
Require entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than
their significant accounting policies. The change will not have a significant
impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax relating to assets
and liabilities arising from a single transaction
The amendments clarifies the accounting rules for income tax and the
possible exclusion from the recognition of deferred tax. The introduced
amendment specifies that this exclusion does not apply to lease
transactions and the recognition of a liability resulting from the liquidation
of an asset, i.e. transactions for which an asset and a liability are
recognized simultaneously. The change will not have a significant impact
on the Group's financial statements.

Standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective because they have not been approved by the European Union or have been approved by the European Union but have not been previously applied by the Group, were presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, no changes to the accounting standards were published.

2.3 Changes to presentation and explanation of differences in relation to previously published financial statements

Compared to the consolidated financial statements prepared as at 31 March 2022, the Group changed:

  1. the way of presenting certain items of the cash flow statement:

Change 1

Changes in derivatives hedging both assets and liabilities are presented jointly.

Change 2

Changes in fair value measurements recognized in other comprehensive income were excluded from changes in individual assets and liabilities.

Change 3

Change in assets measured at amortized cost was transferred to investing activities (in the first quarter of 2022, there were no purchase and disposal of financial assets measured at amortized cost).

The Act on Tax from Certain Financial Institutions of 15 January 2016 became effective on 1 February 2016 – the Act applies to banks and insurance companies. The tax accrues on the surplus of assets in excess of PLN 4 billion as detailed in trial balances as at the end of each month. Banks are entitled to reduce the taxation base by their equity, as well as the amounts of Treasury securities and assets acquired from NBP. constituting collateral for the refinancing loan granted by NBP. The tax is payable monthly (the monthly rate is 0.0366%) by the 25th day of the month following the month to which it applies and is recognised in the profit and loss account in the period to which it applies.

19 Loans and advances to customers

19.1 Accounting principles

During 2023, the Group did not change the rules and methodology for classifying loan exposures and estimating provisions for expected credit losses. The applied rules are the same as those described in the annual financial statements.

Rules for classifying exposures covered by key statutory customer support instruments

The key statutory customer support tools available, inter alia, due to the macroeconomic situation, include:

  • Borrowers Support Fund,
  • moratoriums available to customers who have lost their source of income,
  • payment moratoria for PLN mortgage portfolios.

Exposures covered by the Borrowers Support Fund and exposures covered by moratoriums for customers who have lost their source of income are classified by the Bank to forbearance and, consequently, to Stage 2 (unless they meet the impairment / default criteria, which would result in classification to Stage 3).

Mortgage exposures covered by payment moratoriums are subject to general classification rules, where the use of moratoriums does not meet the conditions of the facility offered due to the worsened financial situation, as it is not a criterion for using the instrument. During periods of suspension of maturity, the Group suspends the calculation of arrears/overdue, returning to the continuation of the calculation at the end of the suspension period.

19.2 Future macroeconomic factors in the assessment of credit quality and impairment allowances estimation

The Group ensures that future macroeconomic factors are included in all significant components of the estimated credit losses. Taking into account future macroeconomic factors ensures that the current valuation of ECL reflects the expected scale of deterioration in the credit quality of the portfolio due to the tough macroeconomic environment.

The Group considers the key areas of macroeconomic risk to be:

Direct impact and effects of the war in Ukraine on the loan portfolio associated with persons who are citizens of countries involved in the war / economic entities operating in the region

The Group intensively monitors and analyzes the impact of the geopolitical situation related to the war in Ukraine on the quality of the loan portfolio.

In terms of the of the retail client segment, the share in the portfolio of clients with the citizenship of Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian fluctuates around 1.9%. These are clients living and earning income in Poland. The Group continues intensive portfolio monitoring, but does not identify any significant threats in this respect.

In terms of the corporate customer segment, the Group identifies a portfolio exposed to the effects of escalation of military operations in Ukraine based on addresses (headquarters, correspondence, residences), information from individual monitoring, and a significant share of inflows / transfers from / to countries involved in the armed conflict. In this population, the Group identifies clients with an exposure of approximately PLN 70 million. The monitoring results indicate that the deterioration of the quality and the increase in the risk of debt servicing is insignificant.

Effects of the pandemic

Although during the pandemic, the Bank did not experience a significant deterioration in the quality of the loan portfolio, it is recognized that the effects of the pandemic - in conjunction with other global and macroeconomic challenges - may still have a negative impact on selected areas of business activity (due to, inter alia, disrupted supply chains).

A complex macroeconomic environment (caused among others by the above factors) and its impact on the loan portfolio

Due to significant - unprecedented - changes in the macroeconomic environment (changes in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, energy prices), the FLI component in the portfolio valuation is important, reflecting the Group's expectations regarding the scenario development of macroeconomic factors.

In particular, with regard to the methodology used for the PD parameter the Group continues:

  • for the retail client segment, the use of the methodology for assessing the impact of changes in financial burdens as a result of an increase interest rates at risk of default,
  • for the corporate client segment, the use of industry models enabling the simulation of the client's rating, supplemented with up-to-date information on changes in the macroeconomic environment, taking into account the increase in financing costs and energy prices.

The experience of the first months of operation in an environment of rising interest rates shows that:

  • the dynamics and pace of changes (increases) in interest rates were higher than the Group's original projections, at the same time,
  • the transmission of the rising interest rates to the deterioration of clients' debt servicing capacity was much lower than originally assumed.

Analyzing these phenomena, the Group designed a series of analyzes including:

  • assessment of the sensitivity of the PD parameter value to changes in macroeconomic scenarios,
  • verification of changes in the loss ratio/early risk measures to changes in the economic environment,
  • backtesting of the assumed values of PD parameters taking into account the FLI component at different forecast horizons.

The work resulted in a decision on the value of PD parameters adequate for the macroeconomic scenarios adopted by the Group.

In the area of the LGD parameter, a solution is used that makes the level of healing dependent on the dynamics of changes in macroeconomic factors such as Gross Domestic Product and inflation (the scope and sensitivity to a given factor were adjusted depending on the model segment).

As regards the collateral included in the valuation of credit exposure impairment, the Group takes into account the risk of negative future macroeconomic factors affecting the collateral value and applies an additional haircut over the current market valuations and estimated recovery rates reflecting the economic recoverability of collateral.

As at 31 March 2023, the effects of the high interest rate environment and the war in Ukraine had no significant impact on the deterioration of the quality of loan portfolios. In the FLI component, the Group takes into account the expected development trajectory of the above phenomena and the target impact on the quality of the portfolio. At the same time, the Group considers the risk of uncertainty and volatility in both phenomena to be significant.

19.3 Quality and and structure of the loan portfolio

Key credit portfolio quality indicators as at 31 March 2023

As at 31 March 2023, despite the negative macroeconomic environment and geopolitical situation, the Group did not observe a significant negative impact on the quality of the loan portfolio. The share of 30-day overdue loans in the regular portfolio as at 31 March 2023 was 0.64% compared to 0.63 % as at 31 December 2022.

In the Group's opinion, this situation is largely due to:

  • insignificant, in the first period of the environment of rising interest rates, a negative transmission on the ability to service debt,
  • insignificant impact on the quality of the loan portfolio of the initial phase of the armed conflict in Ukraine,
  • the scale of support clients receive in terms of payment moratoriums and the borrowers' support fund.

The Group adapts its lending policies and processes to the current macroeconomic situation and the resulting threats (both in terms of adapting the lending policy and processes to the pandemic environment, high interest rate environment and the geopolitical and economic effects of the war in Ukraine). The changes are aimed at supporting customers (including in the scope of business activities conducted by corporate customers) while at the same time focusing on minimizing the Group's credit losses.

Thanks to all the above circumstances and actions, the quality of the loan portfolio has so far remained resilient to the effects of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.

As at 31 March 2023, the level of write-downs for exposures classified to Stage 1 and Stage 2 is approx. PLN 1.2 billion and remains stable compared to the level maintained as at 31 December 2022. The key credit parameters of the regular portfolio are presented below (non-default):

Sensitivity of results to variability of assumptions

The Group assumes 3 scenarios of the future macroeconomic situation:

  • base, with the probability of 50% implementation (where the GDP growth rate at the end of subsequent years is 0.1% y/y, 3.1% y/y and 3.6% respectively in the period 2023-2025, and the NBP base rate is respectively 6.75%, 5.25% and 4.25%),
  • negative, with the probability of 25% implementation (where the GDP growth rate at the end of subsequent years in the period 2023-2025 is -1.9% y/y, 1.0% y/y and 2.1%, respectively, and the NBP base rate respectively 8.0%, 6.5% and 6.25%),
  • optimistic, with the probability of 25% implementation (where the GDP growth rate at the end of subsequent years is 2.5% y/y, 4.0% y/y and 4.6% respectively in the period 2023-2025, and the NBP base rate is respectively 5.0%, 3.5% and 3.5%).

developed internally by the Macroeconomic Analysis Department.

Based on annually calibrated models of expected loss parameters, the Bank conducts sensitivity analyses. Below we present the sensitivity scale of estimated loss estimates for the portfolio of regular exposures, based on the current model of expected loss parameters (in MPLN ):

29 Fair value

29.1 Accounting principles and estimates and assumptions

The fair value is a price receivable in the sale of an asset or payable for transfer of a liability in an arm's length transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market as at the measurement date subject to prevailing market conditions (exit price), irrespective of the fact if such price is directly observable or estimated with another measurement technique.

Depending on the classification category of financial assets and liabilities to a specific hierarchy level, various methods to measure fair value are applied.

Level 1: On the basis of prices quoted in the principal (or most advantageous) market

Financial assets and liabilities with fair value measured directly on the basis of quoted prices (not adjusted) from active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes financial and equity instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss for which there is an active market and for which the fair value is determined on the basis of market value being the purchase price:

  • debt securities listed on active, liquid financial markets,
  • debt and equity securities traded in a regulated market, including in the portfolio of the Brokerage House,
  • derivative instruments that are traded in a regulated market.

Level 2: On the basis of measurement techniques based on assumptions using information coming from the principal (or most advantageous) market;

Financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is measured with measurement models where all material input data is observable in the market directly (as prices) or indirectly (relying on prices). In that category the Bank classifies financial instruments for which no active market exists:

Level 3: For which minimum one factor affecting the price is not observable in the market.

Financial assets and liabilities with the fair value measured with the measurement models where input data is not based on observable market data (non-observable input data).

Such instruments include options embedded in certificates of deposit issued by the Group and options in the interbank market to hedge positions of the embedded options. The fair value is determined on the basis of market prices of those options or an internal model subject to both observable parameters (e.g. price of the base instrument, secondary quotations of options) and non-observable (e.g. variability, correlations between base instruments in options based on a basket). Model parameters are determined on the basis of a statistical analysis. At the end of the reporting period, the position in the above-mentioned instruments was closed on back-to-back basis, which means that the change in valuation of options embedded in structured instruments is offset by changes in the valuation of options concluded on the interbank market. The group also contains the Group's position in commercial debt securities where apart from the parameters coming from market quotations are affected by non-observable volume of credit spread. The spread is based on the primary market price or at transaction execution. It is updated when reliable market quotations occur or when prices are obtained from transactions of comparable volume. The spread is also changed on the basis of information of a changed credit standing of the security issuer. At the end of the first quarter of 2023, the sensitivity of changed measurement of those assets in the case of an increase of the credit spread by 1 basis point was PLN 0.26 thousand.

Transfers of instruments between measurement levels as at the end of the reporting period. Transfers are made subject to conditions set forth in the international financial reporting standards. for instance, quotation availability of instruments from an active market, availability of quotations of pricing factors, or impact of non-observable data on the fair value.

For many instruments. market values are not available; therefore, the fair value is estimated with a number of measurement techniques. Measurement of the fair value of financial instruments has been made with a model based on estimates of the present value of future cash flows by discounting cash flows at appropriate discount rates.

All model calculations contain certain simplifications and are sensitive to the underlying assumptions. Below there is a summary of core methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value.

Loans and advances to customers:

In the method applied by the Group to calculate the fair value of receivables from customers (without overdraft facilities), the Group compares the margins generated on newly granted loans (in the month preceding the reporting date) with the margin on the total loan portfolio. If the margins on newly granted loans are higher than the margins on the portfolio, the fair value of the loan is lower than its carrying value.

Loans and advances to customers were fully classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the application of a measurement model with material non-observable input data or current margins generated on newly granted loans.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

The Group assumes that the fair value of customer and bank deposits and other financial liabilities maturing within 1 year is approximately equal to their carrying value. Deposits are accepted on a daily basis and thus their terms and conditions are similar to the prevailing market terms and conditions of identical transactions. The maturities of those items are short and therefore there is no major difference between the carrying value and fair value.

For disclosure purposes, the Group determines the fair value of financial liabilities with residual maturities (or repricing of the variable rate) in excess of 1 year. That group of liabilities includes the own issues and subordinated loans. Determining the fair value of that group of liabilities, the Group determines the present value on anticipated payments on the basis of present percentage curves and the original spread of the issue.

Other financial assets and liabilities

For other financial instruments, the Bank assumes that the carrying value is close to fair value. This applies to the following items: cash and cash equivalents, assets available for sale, other financial assets, and other financial liabilities.

31 Benefits for the for senior executives

31.1 Principles applicable to the remuneration of persons in managerial positions at the Bank

The Bank has a Remuneration Policy which covers all employees with its provisions. The Remuneration Policy is reviewed by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board and adopted by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. As regards persons holding managerial positions, who have a significant impact on the risk profile, the principles of the Policy have been established based on the provisions of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance, Funds and Regional Policy of 8 June 2021 on the risk management system and internal control system as well as the remuneration policy in banks.

Persons having an impact on the Risk Profile (MRT) are members of the Management Board, managing directors and persons identified on the basis of the criteria defined in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/923 of 25 March 2021 supplementing Directive 2013/36 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the criteria for determining management responsibilities, control functions, significant business units and the significant impact on the risk profile of a significant business unit, and specifying criteria for identifying employees or categories of staff whose professional activities affect the risk profile of these institutions in a comparable manner as important as in the case of employees or categories of employees referred to in art. 92 sec. 3 of this directive.

31.2 Financial data

All transactions with supervising and managing persons are performed in line with the relevant regulations concerning banking products and at market rates.

31.3 Incentive program for senior executives

The following incentive programs operate in the Alior Bank SA Group:

  • bonus scheme for the Management Board, valid from 2016;
  • annual variable remuneration granted partly in financial instruments (phantom shares) for persons having an impact on the risk profile; the settlement of phantom shares takes place in cash.

32 Legal claims

In the Bank's opinion, no single court, arbitration court or public administration body proceedings in progress during the first quarter of 2023, and none of the proceedings jointly, could pose a threat to the Bank's financial liquidity. The proceedings which according to the opinion of the Management Board are significant are presented below.

Case claimed by a client

Case claimed by a limited company for a payment of PLN 109 967 thousand in respect of compensation for damage incurred in connection with the conclusion and settlement of treasury transactions. The claim dated 27 April 2017 was brouhgt against Alior Bank SA and Bank BPH SA. In the Bank's opinion, the claim has no valid factual and legal basis and probability of an outflow of funds is negligible.

Cases related to the distribution of certificates of participation in investment funds

The Bank, as part of its activities as part of a separate organizational unit - Biuro Maklerskie Alior Bank SA, in the years 2012 - 2016 conducted activities in the field of distribution of certificates of participation in investment funds: Inwestycje Rolne Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych, Inwestycje Selektywne Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych, Lasy Polskie Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych and Vivante Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Funds"). The bank distributed over 250 thousand investment certificates of the Funds.

On 21 November 2017, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("PFSA") issued a decision to withdraw the permit to operate by FinCrea TFI SA, which is the managing body of the Funds. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority justified the issuance of a decision found in the course of administrative proceedings for gross violations of the provisions of the Act on investment funds and management of alternative

investment funds. The decision was immediately enforceable. No society has decided to take over the management of the Funds, which, pursuant to Art. 68 sec. 2 in connection with joke. 246 paragraph. 1 point 2 of the Act on Investment Funds and Management of Alternative Investment Funds was the reason for the dissolution of the Funds. The dissolution of an investment fund takes place after liquidation.

The Funds are currently being liquidated by the custodian, Raiffeisen Bank International AG, based in Vienna. The liquidation of an investment fund consists in selling its assets, collecting the fund's receivables, satisfying the fund's creditors and redeeming participation units or investment certificates by paying the funds obtained to fund participants, in proportion to the number of participation units or investment certificates they have (Article 249 (1) of the Act. on investment funds and management of alternative investment funds). From the day of commencement of liquidation, the investment fund may not sell units or issue investment certificates, as well as buy back participation units or redeem investment certificates and pay out the fund's income or revenues (Article 246 (3) of the aforementioned Act).

Claims for payment

As at 31.03.2023, the Bank is defendant in 123 cases brought by the buyers of the Fund's investment certificates for payment (compensation for damage). The total value of the dispute in these cases is PLN 41.7 million.

In the Bank's opinion, each claims for payment requires an individual approach. The final value of the investment certificates of the Funds will be determined after the completion of the liquidation. However, the Bank conducted a thorough analysis, selected cases and singled out those with specific risk factors, which the Bank took into account in its approach to the provision created on this account. In the calculation of the provision, the Bank also took into account the possible increase in the scale of lawsuits. The total amount of the provision as at 31 March 2023 amounted PLN 19.6 million.

Liability claims

The Bank is the defendant in 1 collective action brought by a natural person - a representative of a group of 320 natural and legal persons, for determination of the Bank's liability for damage and in 4 individual cases for establishing the Bank's liability for damage.

The class action was filed on 5 March 2018 against the Bank to determine the Bank's liability for damage caused by the Bank's improper performance of disclosure obligations towards customers and the improper performance of contracts for the provision of services for accepting and transmitting orders to purchase or sell Fund investment certificates. The court decided to hear the case in group proceedings.

On 8 March 2023, the District Court in Warsaw issued a decision to determine the composition of the group. As at the date of this report, this decision is invalid. The value of the subject of the extended claim amounts to approx. PLN 103.9 million.

The lawsuits were filed to establish liability (not for payment, i.e. compensation for damage), therefore the Bank does not anticipate any outflow of cash from these proceedings, other than litigation costs, the amount of which the Bank estimates at PLN 600 thousand.

Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) by decision of 6 August 6 2019 issued on the basis of art. 167 section 2 point 1 in connection with art. 167 section 1 point 1 of the Act on trading in financial instruments, imposed a fine on the Bank in the amount of PLN 10 000 000. The proceedings concerned the correct operation of Alior Bank and the Bank's Brokerage House in the scope of distribution of investment certificates of funds previously managed by Fincrea TFI S.A. and now Raiffeisen Bank International AG (Joint Stock Company) Branch in Poland. The bank requested the PFSA to reconsider the case. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority, after re-examining the case with a decision of 3 December 2019, upheld the original decision. On 3 January 2020, the Bank appealed against this decision to the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw. On 17 June 2020, the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw issued a judgment in which it revoked the decision of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) of 3 December 2019, upholding

the earlier decision of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority of 6 August 2019 on the imposition of two fines on the Bank in the total amount of PLN 10 million and discontinued the proceedings conducted by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority in this case. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) filed a cassation complaint with the Supreme Administrative Court. As at the date of publication of this report, the Supreme Administrative Court has not considered the complaint.

Proceedings before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK)

Proceedings on provisions of recognizing a standard contract as illegal, the so-called modification clauses

On 27 September 2019, the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) initiated ex officio proceedings against Alior Bank SA to recognize a standard contract as illegal (reference number RPZ.611.4.2019.PG) the subject of which is 11 clauses (the so-called modification clauses) included in contract templates used by the Bank, on the basis of which the Bank made unilateral changes to contracts concluded with consumers. The President of UOKiK questioned the wording of the provisions in question, among others as imprecise and not allowing consumers to verify the occurrence of premises for the change being made. The Bank corresponds with the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection in this case. The Bank presented to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection a plan to remove the ongoing effects of the breach from contracts with customers. If it is approved by the President of UOKiK, it will be possible to conduct further discussions on adjusting the questioned modification clauses to the expectations of the President of UOKiK. As at 31 March 2023, the Group has not identified any rationale for making provisions on this account.

Proceedings on unauthorized payment transactions

UOKiK conducts explanatory proceedings (reference number: RWR.405.4.2021.ET) in order to initially determine whether the Bank's actions taken after consumers reported unauthorized payment transactions referred to in the Act of 19 January 2011 on payment services (Journal U. 2020, item 794, as amended, hereinafter: "uup"), may justify the initiation of proceedings on practices infringing collective consumer interests or proceedings on declaring the provisions of standard contracts illegal. These proceedings are conducted "in the case", the Bank is not a party to them. In it, the Bank provided the documents and information requested by UOKiK. Currently, UOKiK is most likely analyzing the material obtained from the Bank, which describes the practice applied by the Bank covered by the scope of the proceedings. At the moment, the Bank has not received correspondence from UOKiK in which the authority would express reservations to the Bank in connection with the applied practice. Nevertheless, messages appeared on the UOKiK website informing about the initiation of proceedings regarding practices infringing collective consumer interests against 9 other banks whose practice was verified in explanatory proceedings analogous to those conducted against the Bank. Since the Bank applies a similar practice to the questioned one in the case of these 9 banks, it should be expected that the Bank will also receive a decision to initiate proceedings regarding practices infringing collective consumer interests. At the moment, however, it is not possible to estimate how the proceedings, which are currently not instituted, would have developed. In particular, what would UOKiK expect from the manner in which the Bank would remove the effects of the breach, and whether a fine would be imposed on the Bank. In order to make such estimates, it would be necessary to become acquainted with the justification for the decision to initiate the proceedings, which the Bank has not received (so far) and to initiate further correspondence with UOKiK in the case. In addition, the allegations of UOKiK raise doubts in the entire banking sector as to their compliance with European law. The provisions of the Payment Services Act, which UOKiK refers to in the context of these allegations, do not fully reflect the directive implemented therein. This resulted in numerous requests to UOKiK by the Polish Bank Association, as well as the introduction by the Ministry of Finance of a proposal to adapt these provisions to the indicated directive in the draft amendment to the Payment Services Act. In the Group's opinion, the complaints submitted so far in the event of a negative position of UOKiK will be recovered by

the Group in court. For the remaining part, as at 31.03.2023, the Group had a provision in the amount of PLN 2.1 million.

The value of disputed claims amounted to PLN 574 122 thousand as at 31.03.2023 and PLN 533 587 thousand as at the end of 2022.

The value of provisions for disputed claims amounted to PLN 51 827 thousand as at 31.03.2023 and PLN 52 371 thousand as at the end of 2022.

Affairs related to the operation of Alior Bank SA's subsidiaries

On 26 June 2019, to Alior Leasing sp. z o.o. a class action was filed for severance pay, filed by four former members of the company's Management Board who were dismissed by the Supervisory Board on 20 December 2018. The amount of the claimed claim is PLN 645 thousand. On 14 March 2022, the Court of Appeal in Wrocław changed the appealed judgment of the District Court in Wrocław of 11 August 2021 and ordered Alior Leasing to pay the plaintiffs the amount of the claimed claim together with interest for delay from 3 January 2019 to the day of payment. On 12 July 2022, the company filed a cassation appeal to the Court of Appeal in Wrocław, challenging the judgment issued by that court.

In December 2021, the Bank and the leasing company received another (new) summons from the former members of the Management Board of Alior Leasing to an ad hoc arbitration court under the management program; the summons was based on the same factual and legal circumstances as the previous ones. In the opinion of the Company and the Bank, the probability that the dismissed members of the Management Board will successfully obtain benefits under the management program in court is less than 50%. The position of the Company was based on legal opinions obtained by the Management Board of the Company. The above circumstances justify the lack of recognition of such provisions in the Group's financial statements.

Alior Leasing sp. z o.o identifies the possibility of claims by external entities in connection with the activities of some former employees and associates of the company. As at the date of this financial statements, claims in this respect were not reported. In the Group's opinion, there are no circumstances justifying the creation of a provision on this account.

The Group will not reveal further information regarding the above-indicated possible claims, in order not to weaken his future position in a potential dispute or administrative proceeding.

33 Total capital adequacy ratio and Tier 1 ratio

As at 31 March 2023, total capital adequacy ratio and Tier 1 ratio were calculated in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (CRR Regulation) and other regulations implementing "national options", among other, the Banking Act of 29 August 1997 (as amended) and Regulation of the Minister of Development and Finance of 25 May 2017 on a higher risk weight for exposures secured by mortgages on real estate (as amended).

In order to calculate the capital adequacy ratio, in first quarter of 2023 prudential consolidation was applied – the consolidation covered Alior Bank SA and Alior Leasing sp. z o.o. In the opinion of the Bank's Management Board, the other subsidiary entities, not subject to prudential consolidation are marginal for the Bank's core activity from the viewpoint of monitoring of credit institutions.

*On 16 March 2023, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority approved the inclusion of the consolidated profit for 2022 in the Alior Bank Group's own funds. Including the net profit generated in 2022 as at 31 Decembe, 2022 resulted in an increase in own funds to PLN 7.5 billion and a change in the ratios, as presented in the table above.

The Group's capital ratios remain at levels significantly exceeding the minimum regulatory requirements and allow the Group to operate safely.

The Alior Bank SA Group decided to apply the transitional provisions provided for in Regulation 2020/873 with regard to certain adjustments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that for the purposes of assessing the Group's capital adequacy, the full impact related to the created COVID-19 provisions will not be taken into account.

35 Distribution of profit for 2022

Until the date of publication of this report, the General Meeting of Alior Bank Spółka Akcyjna has not adopted a resolution on the distribution of profit for 2022.

36 Risk management

Risk management is one of the major processes in Alior Bank SA. Risk management supports Bank's strategy and proper level of business profitability and safety of activities while assuring control of the risk level and its maintenance within the accepted risk appetite and limit system in the changing macroeconomic and legal environment. The supreme objective of the risk management policy is to ensure early detection and adequate management of all kinds of risk inherent to the pursued activity.

The Group isolated the following types of risks resulting from the operations conducted:

  • market risk including interest rate risk and the FX risk
  • liquidity risk
  • credit risk
  • operational risk

The detailed risk management policies have been presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank SA Group for the year ended 31 December 2022 published on 3 March 2023 and available on the Alior Bank SA website.

In connection with the application of the advanced operational risk measurement method (AMA), in accordance with the requirements of CRR Article 454, the Bank, seeking to limit the risk of materializing the effects of rare but potentially severe operational events, has bought a number of insurance policies. Mentioned policies included insurance in the scope of property (including electronic equipment), civil liability, fiscal liability and professional liability.

The terms of individual policies were adapted to the scale and scope of the risk incurred. Those policies are not used as a mechanism limiting the amount of own funds requirements for operational risk or as a mitigating factor for the amount of internal capital for operational risk.

40 Factors which could have an impact on the results in the perspective of the following quarter of the year

One of the most important factors of uncertainty in the coming periods remains the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine in the context of geopolitical tensions and volatility in financial markets. In the economic dimension, the greatest consequences of the armed conflict concern trade disruptions related to the armed conflict itself and the resulting sanctions. Another aspect is related to the stability of the energy system, an important element of which in the case of the EU and Poland are the supplies of raw materials such as oil and gas from Russia. There is also the issue of security in the region. As a consequence, the risks associated with the armed conflict in Ukraine for the global and domestic economy materialized to the greatest extent through a significant acceleration of inflation against more expensive raw materials, food and disruptions in supply chains, and may still be significant in 2023, in particular due to the complete stoppage of gas supplies from Russia to the EU.

High inflation in the world determines the cycle of monetary tightening in many countries, including the US and the euro area, which means that the risks of global recession have increased significantly. Double-digit consumer inflation in Poland at the beginning of 2023 favors the stabilization of the NBP reference rate at the level of 6.75%. In 2023, the domestic economy will continue to face increased inflation and high debt costs, with still weak consumer and business sentiment in the country and worldwide, which is a significant element of risk for the prospects of the domestic economic situation. In addition, the suspension of gas supplies from Russia still poses some risks of unbalanced demand for this raw material both in Poland and our main trading partner - Germany. In such a scenario, temporary downtimes in the industrial sector are possible, which may significantly reduce the potential of the domestic economy and the entire euro area, although the efforts made in 2022 to diversify supplies of energy resources somewhat mitigate this risk.

For the banking sector, in subsequent periods, increased volatility and an increase in the risk premium due to the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine and the possible extension of the period of increased inflation in Poland may continue to negatively affect the valuation of assets held in the balance sheet. What's more, the

deterioration of the economic outlook, persistently elevated inflation and the likely maintenance of interest rates at the current level for most of the year may continue to cool down the demand for loans, which would limit acquisitions in particular on the mortgage market. The declining economic situation will also be conducive to the deterioration of the condition of borrowers, which may contribute to an increase in credit risk and a tightening of lending policies in banks. Legal risks related to the portfolio of FX mortgage loans, potential regulatory changes, in particular regarding the extension of the "credit vacation" to 2024 and an additional contribution to the Borrower Support Fund in 2023, as well as the reform of the benchmark, i.e. replacing the VIBOR via WIRON also remain a challenge in the sector.
