Board of directors' semi-annual management report as at 30.6.2022

GREEK ECONOMY

The recovery of economic activity continued in the first quarter of the 2022, as real GDP increased by 2.3% on a quarterly basis, for the seventh consecutive quarter and by 7% on an annual basis, for the fourth consecutive quarter. Growth rate is expected to moderate due to the war in Ukraine and the adverse effects of inflationary pressures. The Recovery and Resilience (RRF) funds absorption, however, and the optimism about tourism performance maintain resilient growth dynamics.

The strong private consumption growth combined with the continued increase in investment were the main drivers of the strong economic growth in Q1 2022, supported also by base effects given that in the first quarter of 2021 restrictive measures to economic activity were in place. Private consumption rose by 11.6% y-o-y, underpinned by the savings' accumulation during the pandemic and the significant gains in employment, which supported households' disposable income.

The European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer 2022) projects a GDP growth of 4% y-o-y in 2022 and a further increase of 2.4% in 2023. Moreover, the Bank of Greece has revised downwards its projections for GDP growth in 2022, to 3.2% (Monetary Policy Report, June 2022), from 3.8% in April (Governor's Annual Report) due to the uncertainty deriving from the continuation of the war in Ukraine, the energy supply disruption and the consequent further increase in energy prices and prices in general.

The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI), which is a leading indicator of economic activity, dropped to 104.3 units in June, from 114.4 units in February, due to the increased uncertainty arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, remaining however, above the European Union average (102.5 units).

Inflation, based on the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), remained on an upward trend in the first two months of 2022 and accelerated after the outburst of the war. The HICP increased on average by 7.9% y-o-y between January and May 2022 compared to a decrease of 2.2% y-o-y, in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the rising energy

prices globally -given that Greece is a net energy importer-, the supply chain disruptions and the shortages in raw materials. Harmonized inflation is expected to reach 8.9% in 2022, according to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer 2022), whereas the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report, June 2022) foresees an HICP increase of 7.6% y-o-y in the current year.

Fiscal support to households and businesses remained in place in the first half of 2022, mainly to mitigate the negative impact of the rising energy cost and the inflationary pressures. According to the official announcements the cost of the electricity and natural gas consumption subsidy schemes are estimated to reach Euro 3.6 billion in 2022. Additional interventions include the increase of the heating benefit, fuel compensation to households, etc. with a total fiscal impact for 2022, estimated at 0.4% of GDP (Stability Programme, April 2022).

In the first six month of 2022, Greece has successfully tapped the international debt capital markets raising in total Euro 5.4 billion, through the issuance of a new 10-year Greek Government Bond (GGB) in January and the re-opening of existing GGBs in April and May. Borrowing costs however have risen worldwide, due to the elevated uncertainty that stems from the adverse effects of inflation. The spread of the 10yr GGB compared to the respective German GB, increased to 228 bps on 30.6.2022, compared to 100 bps in June 2021.

In April 2022, Standard & Poor's upgraded Greece's sovereign credit rating by one notch from BB to BB+ with a stable outlook (one scale below investment grade), whereas in January Fitch upgraded the country's outlook to positive. However, the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) General Index recorded a decrease in the first semester of 2022, by 9.3%.

Greece's primary deficit, following the enhanced surveillance definition, reached 5% of GDP in 2021, whereas according to the Stability Programme (April 2022), it is estimated to drop to 2% of GDP in 2022. Furthermore, the General Government Debt is back on a downward trend, decreasing to 193.3% of GDP in 2021, from 206.3% in 2020. In 2022, the general government debt is forecast to drop further to 180.2% of GDP. Residential property price growth maintained its strong dynamics. According to the latest available provisional data by the Bank of Greece, nominal house prices remained on an uphill trajectory in Q12022, rising by 8.6% y-o-y from 9.5% y-o-y in the previous quarter and 8.6%, respectively, in Q3 2021.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in April 2022 was equal to 12.5% compared to 17.2% in April 2021. Employment has grown by 10.8% y-o-y in April, whereas the unemployed persons and the people outside the labour force decreased by 23.7% and 7.6%, respectively, compared to the same month of 2021.

According to the Monetary Policy Report (June 2022) by the Bank of Greece, Greek banks recorded profits in the first quarter of 2022, due to non-recurring revenues, the reduction of operating expenses and, mainly, lower credit risk provisioning. The Capital Adequacy ratio for the Greek banks, on a consolidated basis, stood at 15% in March 2022, whereas the corresponding Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio reached 12.2%, from 15.2% and 12.6% respectively, in December 2021.

The balance of the private sector's deposits was Euro 179.4 billion in May 2022, of which Euro 135.7 billion were household deposits and Euro 43.7 billion corporate deposits. Private sector deposits increased in total (sum of net monthly flows) by Euro 37.8 billion between March 2020 and December 2021, that is, from the outbreak of the pandemic onwards which can be attributed to: (i) "forced" and "precautionary" savings -following the lockdown measures and the high uncertainty for the future that prevailed-, (ii) the supportive measures adopted by the Greek government and (iii) the employment gains. The sum of net deposit inflows of the private sector, however, was negative in the first five months of 2022 (Euro 819 million). The latter is mainly due to the decrease of non-financial corporation deposits which in turn is related to the sharp rise in energy prices and therefore of their operational costs.

The outstanding amount of total credit granted to the private sector amounted to Euro 110.6 billion at the end of May 2022, while the annual rate of change stood at 3.2%. More specifically, the annual rate of credit to non-financial corporations stood at 7.3% in May 2022.

According to the latest data of the Bank of Greece, Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) at the end of March 2022 amounted to Euro 17.7 billion, reduced by 0.7 billion from December 2021. In terms of key quality indicators, the total NPL ratio reached a percentage of 12.1% at the end of March, whereas the NPL ratio for the mortgage portfolio (10.2%), was lower compared to the business (12.1%) and consumer loans portfolios (20.1%).

THE PROSPECTS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY

Real GDP is expected to remain on an upward course in the coming quarters of the year, albeit at a moderate annual pace due to the base effects, namely the strong growth readings recorded in the respective quarters of 2021 (Q2 2021: 15% y-o-y, Q3 2021: 11.7% y-o-y, Q4 2021: 8.1% y-o-y). The main growth driver is expected to be the good performance of tourism. In addition, the strong private consumption growth within 2022 is expected to be supported by the partial usage of accumulated savings to support the standard of living, the positive effect of the additional fiscal measures aiming to alleviate the rising energy cost, and the significant gains in employment. Downside risks to the 2022 growth outlook are primarily related to the further escalation of the geopolitical instability, the impact of inflationary pressures, as well as, the expectations for higher European Central Bank interest rates, that have already resulted in the increase of the borrowing costs for the Greek State, as depicted in the widening of the 10yr Greek government bond spread compared to the respective German GB. In addition, the adverse effects of the rising energy prices on households' disposable income, could partially offset private consumption growth.

Despite the uncertainty that prevails for the previously mentioned reasons, the outlook remains particularly positive in the medium term, due to the expected absorption of funds in the context of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) the centerpiece of the recovery plan of the European Union (Next Generation EU), with the aim to deal with the negative impact of the pandemic-as well as the implementation of structural reforms that will establish a business-friendly environment. Risks however, may also arise from delays in the absorption of the RRF funds, which would deteriorate business sentiment.

GLOBAL ECONOMY

In the first half of 2022, the international economy faced significant challenges, such as inflationary pressures, the energy crisis, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates and the Omicron variant. The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine constitutes an additional supply shock to the international economy, which is still recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic. The economic implications of the war include a longer period of high inflation worldwide fueled by high gas, oil and food prices over the medium term, as well as increased uncertainty from the disruption in financial markets. Additionally, a weaker increase in private consumption is expected, because of the large impact of high energy prices on households' real incomes and industries supply lines. The war in Ukraine is expected to decelerate the global economic activity, which combined with surging inflation, put the international economy at risk of stagflation, a phenomenon that the world has not seen since the 1970s.

Global GDP increased by 6.1% in 2021, while according to the World Bank (Global Economic Prospects, June 2022) it is expected to increase by 2.9% in 2022. However, the forecast for the global growth is 1.2 percentage point lower than in the January 2022 forecast, largely reflecting the war's direct impacts on Russia and Ukraine and global spillovers. Growth in emerging market and developing economies (3.4%) is expected to outperform advanced economies (2.6%) in 2022, mainly due to strong economic expansion in India and China.

The volume of the international trade of goods and services increased in 2021 by 10.1%, while according to the International Monetary Fund (World Economic Outlook, April 2022), it is estimated to increase by 5% in 2022. The slowdown of global trade growth is mainly attributed to higher transport costs and significant global value chain disruptions associated with the war and new lockdowns in China.

The outlook of the international economy is subject to various interlinked downside risks, which could result in a sharp and prolonged slowdown of the economic activity. The main downside risk is related to the magnitude of the impact of the war on the international economy, which will be determined by its duration and intensity, as well as by the sanctions imposed on Russia.

High inflation pre-existed the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The sharp rise in inflation during 2021 was caused by the imbalance between demand and supply, causing excess demand. The gradual normalization of economic activity, in 2021, led to a rapid increase in demand for goods and services, resulting in a rise in the general level of prices (Demand-pull inflation). In addition, this increase is largely attributed to rising energy costs, as the inability of supply to meet the growing demand for oil and natural gas -which is considered as an intermediate fuel in the transition to renewable energy sources- has led to a large increase in their prices, burdening businesses and households. Furthermore, the global supply chain disruptions have resulted in shortages of intermediate goods, while rising commodity and raw material prices have led to rising production costs, part of which has been passed on to final product prices (cost-push inflation). However, the war triggered further inflationary pressures worldwide, due to higher energy and commodities prices, as well as

intensifying supply chain disruptions. Inflation in many advanced economies hits a 40-year high, while it is expected to remain elevated for longer and at higher levels than previously assumed.

Additional uncertainties that could affect the international economy are:

First, the impact on growth from a rapid tightening of monetary policy. The central banks seek to choose the appropriate monetary policy, in order to reconcile the support of the economic recovery and a high inflation, so that it does not exceed its target. However, soaring prices may force central banks to raise interest rates more rapidly than initially expected. The Bank of England was the first major central bank to raise interest rates, in December 2021, while other major central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank, increased their interest rates in the first half of 2022. A rapid change in monetary policy in advanced economies due to growing inflationary pressures could dampen the economic activity and lead to negative changes in the financing conditions of emerging economies, causing capital outflows.

Second, the possible slowdown in China's economy. The zero-Covid strategy resulted in new lockdowns in key Chinese cities as Shanghai, undermining the growth prospects of the economy, which had already been weakened by the continuing impacts of the trade-war with the US and the deleveraging effects in the property sector.

Third, the geopolitical factor. Tensions are observed in various areas worldwide, the escalation of which could have adverse economic impact, due to strong economic interactions. The US-China geopolitical competition in various fields (trade, technological) may lead to an increase in protectionist policies (eg tariff increases), adversely affecting free trade and economic activity worldwide. Relations between the two countries could deteriorate sharply, if tensions between China and Taiwan escalate.

Euro area

According to Eurostat, GDP in the Euro area increased by 5.4%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2022. Private consumption, fueled by the accumulated deposits during the pandemic, was the main driver, as it increased by 7.5%, on an annual basis, contributing 3.8 percentage points to GDP growth. Investment and public consumption rose by 3.7% and 2.3%, on an annual basis, with a positive contribution of 0.8 and 0.5 percentage point respectively. Inventories and net exports had a marginally positive contribution of 0.3 and 0.1 percentage point to GDP growth, despite a larger increase in imports compared to exports.

GDP in the Euro area increased by 5.3% in 2021, while the European Commission (Summer 2022 Economic Forecast) forecasts growth of 2.6% in 2022, with private consumption being the driving force. The energy crisis is a major downside risk to the economy of the Euro area. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is likely to adversely affect the supply of European countries, which are heavily dependent on Russian natural gas. This development has already led to higher gas prices, intensifying the energy crisis in Europe. Addressing the energy crisis is a major issue, as rising oil and natural gas prices not only reduce household disposable income, given their relatively inelastic demand, but also increase the production cost, undermining the economic recovery of the Euro area. Moreover, there is a risk of lower energy availability (forced blackouts, etc.) which may cause problems in supply chains and may further affect consumer spending. The European Commission announced in March 2022, a plan to make Europe

incorporates measures to respond to the rising energy prices. The disbursement of the funds, under the "Next Generation EU (NGEU)" program, is crucial for the economic growth, as it is expected to mobilize additional investment. 2022 is the first full year of implementation of this program, while disbursements under the NGEU amount to Euro 100 billion so far. It is reminded that the European Commission adopted, in July 2020, the "Next Generation EU" program, i.e. of a Development Fund (or Recovery Fund), amounting to Euro 750 billion, with the aim of recovering and strengthening the resilience of the European economy after the pandemic crisis, through a combination of grants and loans to the Member States of the European Union. A significant part of the resources will be directed to actions focused on the green and digital transitions.

independent from Russian fossil fuels (REPowerEU), which also

The unemployment rate in the Euro area stood at 6.8% both in April 2022 and on average in the period January-April 2022. According to the European Commission, the unemployment rate is projected to decrease from 7.7% in 2021 to 7.3% in 2022 (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast).

The European Central Bank (ECB), at its June 2022 meeting, decided to end net asset purchases under its asset purchase programme (APP) as of 1 July 2022. ECB will continue to reinvest, in full, the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the APP for an extended period of time after the date when it starts raising the key ECB interest rates. With regards to the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP), the ECB intends to reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under this programme until at least the end of 2024. Net purchases under the PEPP could also be resumed, if necessary, to counter negative shocks related to the pandemic. Additionally, the ECB at its meeting in July 2022has increased the interest by 50 bps. The interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility reached the percentage at 0.50%, 0.75% and 0% respectively. However, the ECB is expected to raise interest rates until the end of the year, in response to soaring prices. Inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, rises sharply since the second half of 2021. Inflation stood at 8.1%, on an annual basis, in May 2022, with 48% attributed to rising energy prices. Inflation is expected to increase from 2.6% in 2021, to 7.6% in 2022, as energy prices will stay high for longer than previously expected (European Commission, Summer 2022 Economic Forecast).

According to the new ECB's single monetary policy strategy, price stability is better maintained, with a medium-term inflation target of 2%. This target is symmetric, meaning negative and positive deviations of inflation from the target are equally undesirable.

COUNTRIES WHERE THE BANK OPERATES

Cyprus

Economic activity in Cyprus, according to the available data from the Statistical Authority (CYSTAT), increased by 5.6% (annual change, seasonally adjusted figures) in the first quarter of 2022, exceeding both the Euro area and the EU average.

The European Commission (Summer 2022 Economic Forecast) estimates GDP growth rate to stand at 3.2% in 2022. The war is expected to negatively affect the economic activity, due to tight economic relations with Russia. Tourist arrivals from Russia and Ukraine represented around 32% of total arrivals in 2021. On the other hand, the implementation of the national Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) is a positive outlook, as it is expected to support investment.

Annual harmonised inflation, according to the CYSTAT, increased from -1.1% in 2020, to 2.3% in 2021, while according to the European Commission (Summer 2022 Economic Forecast), it is forecast to increase to 7% in 2022. Cyprus does not import Russian natural gas, however high inflation is mainly attributed to soaring oil prices, as Cyprus depends heavily on oil products.

Public debt decreased significantly from 115% of GDP in 2020, to 103.6% in 2021, due to high nominal GDP growth and it is expected to fall to 93.9% in 2022 (European Commission, Spring 2022 Economic Forecast). The current account deficit, according to the Central Bank of

Cyprus, decreased from EUR 2.2 billion in 2020 to EUR 1.7 billion in 2021, due to the significant increase in the services surplus, while the trade deficit increased slightly. According to the European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast), the current account deficit is expected to increase from 7.2% of GDP in 2021, to 8.8% in 2022.

Romania

GDP, according to available data from the Statistical Authority (INSSE), increased by 6.5%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2022 (seasonally adjusted figures). Domestic demand was the main driver of GDP growth, as private and public consumption increased by 6.7% and 7.6% respectively. Investment increased by 0.5%, while imports (9.1%) increased more than exports (8.4%).

According to the European Commission (Summer 2022 Economic Forecast), GDP is expected to increase by 3.9% in 2022, from 5.9% in 2021. Private consumption and investment are expected to perform strongly, as the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) is expected to support investment activity. Net exports are forecast to have a negative contribution to GDP, despite the expected increase in exports.

Annual harmonised inflation, according to INSSE, stood at 4.1% in 2021, exceeding EU average (2.9%). The rise in prices accelerated since the second half of 2021, while in May 2022 recorded double-digit inflation (12.4% on an annual basis). The European Commission (Summer 2022 Economic Forecast) predicts that harmonised inflation will rise to 11.1% in 2022, as the surge in energy prices has passed-through into core inflation components such as processed food, services and industrial goods.

According to the European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast), the government debt-to-GDP ratio is estimated to increase from 48.8% in 2021, to 50.9% in 2022, due to persistent high primary budget deficits.

Additionally, the current account deficit increased by 84%, on an annual basis, to EUR 7.6 billion, in the period January-April 2022, according to the Central Bank of Romania (BNR). Significant deterioration of Euro 2.6 billion was recorded in the balance of goods, while the surplus of the balance of services increased by Euro 345 million. The European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast) estimates that the current account deficit will rise from 7% of GDP in 2021, to 7.5% in 2022.

Albania

According to the European Commission, GDP increased by 8.5% in 2021, mainly due to increased investment,

private consumption and tourist arrivals from neighbouring countries. The European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast) estimates GDP to rise by 2.7% in 2022.

The European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast) estimates annual inflation to rise from 2% in 2021 to 4.9% in 2022.

With regard to public debt ratio, the European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast) predicts that it will decrease from 73.1% of GDP in 2021 to 72.4% in 2022.

The current account deficit is projected to increase from 7.7% of GDP in 2021 to 8.3% in 2022, as rising commodity import prices are projected to widen even further the merchandise trade deficit (European Commission, Spring 2022 Economic Forecast).

United Kingdom

GDP, according to the UK Office for National Statistics, increased by 8.7%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2022 (seasonally adjusted figures). Private and public consumption increased by 12.6% and 8%, investment by 7.1%, while imports (21.5%) increased more than exports (5%). Τhe European Commission (Spring 2022 Economic Forecast) predicts GDP to increase by 3.4% in 2022, from 7.4% in 2021. It is noted that, in 2020, the Covid-19 blow was hitting the UK economy hardest among the world's major economies, as GDP shrank by 9.3%.

The Bank of England raised its policy rate five times between December 2021 and June 2022 to 1.25%. The decision was catalytically affected by the sharp rise in inflation. Inflation in the United Kingdom rose to 9.1% on an annual basis, in May 2022, while the Bank of England expect that it will be over 9% during the next few months, to peak to slightly above 11%, in October 2022. The increase in October reflects higher projected energy prices.

The increase in customer deposits by Euro 1.5 billion or by 3% compared to 31.12.2021 contributed to the increase of loans and advances to customers by EUR 1.2 billion or by 3% which is mainly attributed to business loans affected by new funding and reclassification to the assets held for sale of Νon Performing Exposures portfolios (NPEs). Following the above the Loan to Deposit ratio reached the percentage of 79% while as at 31.12.2021 the respective ratio was up to 78%. In the first half of 2022, NPEs decreased by Euro 1.9 billion and the NPE ratio stood at 8.2%.

Investment securities increased by a total of Euro 1.7 billion mainly due to purchases of ECB eligible bonds.

As at 30.6.2022, the fair value of the reclassified portfolio amounted to € 3.9 billion.

The Group's Total Equity increased to Euro 6.2 billion on 30.6.2022 affected by the profitability of the first half of 2022 and the negative valuation of bonds of investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The deconsolidation of the Group's subsidiary resulted in a gain of Euro 301 million.

In addition, in the first half of 2022, the decision to sell specific non-performing loan transactions included in the company's business plan led to the classification of loans in the assets classified as held for sale and in the recognition of impairment losses amounting to Euro 246 million.

Also, the REOs included in the perimeter of Skyline were impaired following valuation from third parties and the decision of Executive Committee to proceed with one of the bidders. The estimated impairment of Euro c. 24 million has been incorporated in the results of the first semester 2022.

The results before impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk for the first half of year 2022 amounted to Euro 714 million versus losses Euro 1,741 million of the comparative period due to the reasons as highlighted below:

  • Gains less losses on derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost during the first half of 2021 includes losses of Euro 2.2 billion related to the Galaxy securitization following the completion of Project Galaxy;

The above are partially offset by the increase in revenues associated with new lending, the purchases of securities (or bonds or fixed income securities) and the further repricing of customer deposits;
  • Νet commission income increased by Euro 21 million or by 11% in relation to the comparative period mainly due to the increase in commissions from loans derived from commissions for the organization of bond and syndicated loans and commissions related to capital movements, foreign exchange and card transactions;

("Cepal") on 18.6.2021.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group has established a framework of thorough management of risks, based on best practice and supervisory requirements. This framework, based on the common European legislation and the current system of common banking rules, principles and standards, is improving continuously over time in order to be applied in a coherent and effective way in the daily conduct of the Group's activities within and across borders, and making the corporate governance of the Group effective.

Since November 2014, the Group falls within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) - the financial supervision system which involves the European Central Bank and the Bank of Greece - and as a significant banking institution is directly supervised by the European Central Bank. The Single Supervisory Mechanism operates jointly with the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Parliament, the Eurogroup, the European Commission and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) within their respective competences.

Moreover, since January 1st, 2014, the EU Regulation 575/2013/EU dated June 26, 2013 along with the EU Directive 2013/36/EU ("CRD IV") of the European Parliament and of the Council dated June 26, 2013, as effective and in force, gradually introduce the new capital adequacy framework (Basel III) of credit institutions.

According to its press release of 27.10.2021, the European Commission has adopted a review of the Capital Requirements Regulation and the Capital Requirements Directive. The proposed package finalizes the revision of the Basel III agreement in the EU. This agreement was reached by the EU and its G20 partners in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and marks the final step in the reform of the banking rules, aiming to ensure that EU banks become more resilient to potential future economic shocks, while contributing to Europe's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to climate neutrality. In this regulatory and supervisory risk management framework, the Group continuously strengthens its internal governance and its risk management strategy, in order to achieve full compliance within the increased regulatory requirements and the extensive guidelines. The initiatives are related to the governance of data risks, the collection of such data and their integration in the required reports of the management and supervisory authorities.

The Group's approach constitutes a solid foundation for the continuous redefinition of Risk Management strategy through (a) the determination of the extent to which the

Group is willing to undertake risks (risk appetite), (b) the assessment of potential impacts of activities in the development strategy by defining the risk management limits, so that the relevant decisions to combine the anticipated profitability with the potential losses and (c) the development of appropriate procedures for the implementation of this strategy through a mechanism which allocates risk management responsibilities and accountability between the Group units.

More specifically, the Group, taking into account the nature, the scale and the complexity of its activities and risk profile, has developed a risk management strategy based on the following three lines of defense, which are the key factors for its efficient operation:

  • Business Units of retail, wholesale, wealth banking and NPEs Remedial Management, constitute the first line of defense and risk 'ownership' which identifies and manages the risks that arise when conducting banking business.
  • Risk management, monitoring and control and regulatory compliance Units, which are independent from each other as well as from the first line of defense. They constitute the second line of defense and their function is complementary in conducting banking business of the first line of defense in order to ensure the objectivity in decision-making process, to measure the effectiveness of these decisions in terms of risk conditions and to comply with the existing legislative and institutional framework, by monitoring the internal regulations and ethical standards as well as the total view and evaluation of the total exposure of the Bank and the Group to risk, based on established guidelines.
  • Internal Audit constitutes the third line of defense. Internal Audit is an independent function, reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and audits the activities of the Bank and the Group, including the Risk Management function.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the potential weakness of debtors' or counterparties to meet all or part of their payment obligations to the Group.

The primary objective of the Group's strategy for credit risk management, in order to achieve the maximization of the adjusted-to-risk performance is the continuous, timely and systematic monitoring of the loan portfolio and the maintenance of credit risks within the framework of acceptable overall risk limits. At the same time, the conduct of daily business within a clearly defined framework of granting credit is ensured.

The framework of the Group's credit risk management is developed based on a series of credit policy procedures, systems and models for measuring, monitoring and validating credit risk. These models are subject to an ongoing review process in order to ensure full compliance with the current institutional and regulatory framework and their adaptation to the respective economic conditions and to the nature and extent of the Group's business.

Under this perspective and with main objective to further strengthen and improve the credit risk management framework during the first semester of 2022, the following actions have been implemented:

  • Update of Credit Policy Manuals for Wholesale Banking and Retail Banking in Greece and abroad, taking into account the supervisory guidelines for credit risk management issues and the Group's business strategy.
  • Continuous strengthening of the second line of defense control mechanisms in order to ensure compliance with Credit Risks Policies at Bank and Group level, focusing on the management of the Bank and the Group's Customers who have been affected by the crisis due to Covid-19.
  • Ongoing validation of the risk models in order to ensure their accuracy, reliability, stability and predictive capacity.
  • Development of a specific Credit Policy, which defines the criteria and conditions for the evaluation of new lending to enterprises through Hellenic Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) Program.
  • Integration of the digitalization and automation of retail credit decisioning project for Housing and Consumer Loans portfolio
  • Implementation of the digitalization and automation of retail credit decisioning project, for Small Business Loans portfolios.
  • Periodic stress test exercises as a tool for assessing the impact of various macroeconomic scenarios on business strategy formulation, business decisions and the Group's capital position. Crisis simulation exercises are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the supervisory framework and constitute a key component of the Group's credit risk management strategy.
  • Bank continuously reassesses the macroeconomic environment and adjusts its sectorial assessment outlook, considering more data points coming either

from the macroeconomic environment or the dynamic interaction with our clientele, regarding the Russia / Ukraine war effects in the Greek economy sectors.

• Development of a dedicated reporting Datamart (R1) that will service OSI requirements such as Credit Risk Loan Tapes and other granular level datasets.

Additionally, the following actions are in progress in order to enhance and develop the internal system of credit risk management:

  • Continuous upgrade of databases for performing statistical tests in the Group's credit risk rating models.
  • Upgrade and automation of the aforementioned process in relation to the Wholesale and Retail banking by using specialized statistical software.
  • Reinforcing the completeness and quality control mechanism of crucial fields of Wholesale and Retail Credit for monitoring, measuring and controlling of the credit risk.
  • A project for the transition from the existing Rating Systems to the new, single and efficient Group Credit Rating Platform, of Moody's company.
  • Continuous monitoring and servicing of credit risk data needs steming from potential sales portfolios and securitization schemes.
  • Continuous upgrade of Credit Risk Datamarts in terms of data quality, bug fixing, new fields and algorithms enhancement.
  • Continuous strengthening of the control and monitoring mechanism of new financing for the entire Retail Banking and Wholesale Banking portfolios and in particular the automatic decision-making mechanism for Retail Banking (THALIS).

ENVIRONMENTAL - SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) RISKS

The Group adopts a proactive approach to the management of ESG risks, with particular emphasis on risks arising from climate change, which is a key component of its Risk Management Strategy. Following the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD"), the Bank assesses current and impending environmental policies, legal requirements and regulatory guidelines relating to climate and the environment, in order to record and efficiently manage any transitional risks, related to its activities. In that context, the Group has developed a comprehensive action plan, submitted to ECB in May 2021, presenting how the climate risk assessment will be incorporated in its operations and in the risk management process. Implementation of the plan began in June 2021, is continued throughout 2022 and will be completed during 2023.

As part of this plan and in alignment with the ECB expectations, the Group has already incorporated in its Risk Appetite Framework, a set of qualitative principles on climate risks in the context of Credit Risk, specifically:

  • The Group is committed to integrate climate risks into its overall risk management framework. In this context, the Bank regularly monitors its exposure concentration in climate-sensitive sectors and areas of its loan portfolio.
  • The Group aims to enhance its due diligence process with respect to the assessment of its clients' ESG/climate risk profile, through the collection of relevant information. In this setting, the Bank will take initiatives to encourage its clients to clearly define and communicate their client-related commitments and to develop and execute effective strategies to mitigate climate risks.
  • The Group aims to finance its counterparties' green / sustainable transition both in the short-term and in the long-term.
  • The Group, to the extent possible, will start collecting EPC rating certificates from its clients, in order to monitor the energy performance class of its real estate secured exposures.
  • The Group already applies an exclusion list in line with the Environmental and Social Exclusion List developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), for the avoidance of financing, directly or indirectly, specific activities considered as harmful to the environment and society, i.e. thermal coal mining or coal-fired electricity generation capacity, upstream oil exploration, upstream oil development projects, except in rare and exceptional circumstances where the proceeds of the project exclusively target the reduction of GHG emissions or flaring from existing producing fields.

Building on the above, the Group is currently working on implementing quantitative KPIs relating to Climate and Environmental Risks, within its Risk Appetite Framework. In order to assess the impact of climate risk on the calculation of Expected Credit Risk Loss, detailed information on the location of collateral as well as information on energy performance certificates is being collected. The information will be incorporated into the respective data systems and methodological approaches will be developed in order to adapt the models for calculating expected credit risk loss. More specifically, the following are in progress:

• Performing enhancements or additions to the current

set of models used for risk parameter estimation and prediction, in order to integrate ESG risks.

  • Identifying ESG-related data needs, leveraging the data that will be collected for the borrower's assessment and supplementing with additional information where needed.
  • Examining alternative methodological approaches for the quantification and integration of ESG risks in the credit risk parameters.
  • Enhancing the Credit Risk Model Validation framework so as to review and validate whether environmental risks are captured in the risk parameters, or whether sectoral / geographical segmentations have been addressed during the model development phase.

Moreover, as part of the initiative to incorporate sustainability criteria in its lending operations, the Group has developed a Sustainable Finance Framework, defining criteria in line with the International Capital Markets Association ("ICMA") principles and the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which will be incorporated in the credit policies of its lending subsidiaries during 2022-2023. The Framework will be audited by an independent 3rd party, to ensure proper implementation of the aforementioned principles.

Finally, as part of the Group's initiative to proactively develop its ESG agenda while enhancing its sustainability performance across all dimensions, during the first half of 2022, a new ESG governance structure was established, to provide proactive management of all ESG topics, ensure internal alignment and enable effective dispersal of expertise into the Bank's units. In this respect, a new Governance and Sustainability Division was created, incorporating the Board of Directors Secretariat a well as a specialized Sustainability unit, with overall responsibility for the management of corporate governance topics as well as issues relevant to Sustainable Development, Environmental, Social and Governance "ESG".

In the same context, the "Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee" was assigned, οn ΒοD level, the central role in ESG oversight, while at executive level, a "Group Sustainability Committee" was established, with responsibility for steering and management of all ESG and sustainability issues. The Group Sustainability Committee's main tasks are the following:

  • Steers the Bank's strategy and direction on sustainability and ESG related topics, including environmental and social matters
  • Agrees and proposes for approval by the BoD the banks ESG policy and its targets including Financial and Non-Financial KPIs.
  • Monitors the Group's sustainability performance against policy targets and benchmarks
  • Provides guidance on sustainability and ESG related topics.
  • Defines criteria for sustainable credit approval, debt issuances and investments, which will be incorporated in the relevant policies
  • Monitors alignment with ESG requirements, including regulatory expectations

The Group continues to develop and implement its ambitious ESG workplan, aiming to enhance the sustainability of its business model and ensure long term value creation for its shareholders.

MANAGEMENT OF NON-PERFORMING EXPOSURES (NPES)

The Group has set as paramount objective the effective management of NPEs, as this will lead not only to the improvement of the Group's financial strength but also to the restoration of liquidity in the real economy, households and productive business sectors, contributing to the development of the Greek economy in general.

In this context, the Group further accelerated the NPE reduction effort in H1 2022 even compared with the revised NPE Business Plan (submitted on April 2021), reaching also a single digit NPE ratio (8.2%).

Total reduction within the first half of 2022 amounted to Euro 1.9 billion and this was the result of a dedicated effort towards achieving more than the initial NPE reduction target of Euro 0.9 billion.

The further successful implementation of the Group's NPE Strategy within 2022 is also affected by a number of external/systemic factors that include, among others, the following:

  • The economic environment at post Covid-19 era.
  • The developments of the macroeconomic environment as a result of the war in Ukraine and the increased cost of energy.
  • Acceleration of implementation of the New Out of Court Mechanism.

The Group's full commitment towards the active management and reduction of NPEs over the Business Plan period is reinforced through the constant review and calibration of the Group's strategies, products, and processes to the evolving macroeconomic environment.

MANAGEMENT OF NON-PERFORMING ASSETS (NPAS)

In addition to the efficient and effective management of its NPEs, during the latest years the Bank has captured within its strategic priorities the successful management of NPAs as well. In this context the Bank during 2022 continued its strategy as follows:

Ongoing implementation of a uniform management strategy for repossessed real estate properties through the subsidiary Αlpha Astika Akinita S.A. (following the integration of the activity of providing real estate management services of the company "Alpha Real Estate Management and Investments Single Member S.A. in Alpha Astika Akinita S.A. on 1.6.2022) with the aim to:

  • Monitor the repossession procedure (asset onboarding)
  • Monitor the asset management operations through the Group's special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
  • Supervise and coordinate asset management and development.
  • Supervise and coordinate asset commercialization.
  • Monitor the appropriate KPIs for the asset management agencies (internal units and external collaborators).

With regards to the asset commercialization, it should be noted that a website has been created to promote both REOs and Bank's (as a lender) auctioned properties.

RISKS ARISING FROM INVASION IN UKRAINE

The Group closely monitors the ripple effects of the conflict and the subsequent sanctions to assess the medium-term implications for the country, the clients and financial system. At household level, the available income is expected to be affected by the inflationary pressures due to the overall increase of energy prices that will consequently lead in an increase of production costs of consumer goods.

Regarding Group's preparedness and ability to apply the sanctions and comply with the terms of the restrictive measures which vary based on the type of transactions, range, currency, country, banks, customers, and the organization that imposes them, the competent Divisions of the Group ensure that operational procedures have been adapted within a short timeframe, in order for the Group to fully comply with the relevant obligations and directives. Moreover, after examining Bank's suppliers list and active contracts as they exist in its repository, there is no supplier side dependency with any firm from the countries directly involved in the conflict.

Regarding possible Cyber risk incidents, the Bank maintains its increased monitoring and alert analysis both internally and through services including receipt, analysis and response to cybersecurity incidents with increased sensitivity for elements related to the invasion in Ukraine. The Bank is in regular communication with the National authorities as well as its commercial Threat Intelligence services and memberships (FS-ISAC and Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). Relevant information is shared with the Group companies as well as the other Greek Banks for mutual update and coordinated activity if required.

As the Russia/Ukraine conflict is still evolving, its noted that any current assessment of its impact is preliminary and involves substantial degree of expert judgment. However, the Bank closely monitors the unfolding crisis and assesses the impact on its business, financial position and profitability. Upon enhanced visibility both at the macroeconomic level and at the potential transmission channels of the conflict's aftermath throughout the Bank's and subsidiaries' balance sheets, the Group may proceed with suitable adjustments in its strategy and the business and funding plan as applicable, while it may also consider additional mitigation actions further to those elaborated hereafter, if this is deemed necessary.

The Bank has examined a two-fold effect/impact from the evolving conflict and identified appropriate mitigation actions in order to promptly respond to the challenging geopolitical developments:

  • First order impact: The following actions were initiated by the Bank so as to measure the first order impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict:
    • Examination of exposure to Russia/Ukraine companies and citizens. The exposure is immaterial.
    • Examination of fund transfers perimeter from / to Russia – Ukraine, by the Business Units. It is observed that no major signal affecting the operational cash flows of the Bank's clientele, for the time being.
  • Second order impact: Following the first order impact assessment, a second order impact assessment was performed:
    • In an attempt to identify the affected Sectors, an initial assessment occurred, based on expert judgement, considering (a) Cost of raw material, (b) Production cost, (c) Transportation cost and (d) Ability to transfer the increased cost to the final consumer.
    • Impact on credit risk parameters: In 2022, real GDP is expected to grow by 3.2% according to the Monetary Policy Report of the Bank of Greece (June 2022). In

addition, the European Commission estimates 4% GDP increase for 2022 (European Economic Forecast Summer 2022) mainly supported by (i) the expected second-round rebound of tourism, (ii) the investment injection of RRF funds accompanied by a reliable government plan and (iii) the employment gains. The envisaged baseline scenario is subject to the economic fall out of the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine and the related sanctions, moderating the initially expected growth dynamics close to 5% according to the Interim Monetary Report of the Bank of Greece (December 2021). According to the adverse scenario of the Bank of Greece, the recovery of the Greek economy will decelerate further in case that (i) the war continues in 2023, (ii) imports of natural gas and oil from Russia are interrupted and (iii) substitution of the required energy sources from other suppliers is not achieved." (Monetary Policy Report, BoG, June 2022). In 2022, harmonized inflation is expected to reach 8.9% according to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer 2022) and 7.6% according to the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report, June 2022) with an implicit assumption that it will peak in the mid of the year, given that prices started to rise from the summer of 2021 onwards and given that no new disruptions will arise from the potential interruption of natural gas supply to the European Union.

  • Adjustment on Credit Initiation related policy and procedures: Specific Guidelines circulated to the Business and Credit Units.
  • Assessment on: Unlikeliness to Pay (UTP) process, Rating downgrades, Stage 2 triggers, Stage 3 Individual impairment. It is noted that the Group has established a robust UTP process to assess the viability of borrowers and their long-term ability to pay. The UTP process takes place during the periodic review of existing limits, upon request of a new loan exposure, upon ad-hoc requests, upon notification of the Credit Committee for Wholesale Banking, or upon the examination of a modification request and the respective implementation status for Retail Banking. The UTP process in conjunction with the Early Warning System Mechanism that is in place, ensure the Group's early identification of events, at borrower (corporate and individuals) and portfolio level, as well as the relevant actions that must be taken in order to manage the borrowers concerned.

As of 30.6.2022, the impact due to Russia – Ukraine conflict

is stemming mainly from the update of the macroeconomic outlook and amounts for the first semester of 2022 to € 28 million on a Group level.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity Risk comprises both funding liquidity risk and asset liquidity risk, although these two dimensions of liquidity risk are closely related. Funding Liquidity risk refers to the inability of a financial institution to raise the cash necessary to roll over its debt, fulfill the cash, margin, or collateral requirements of counterparties; or to meet capital withdrawals. Asset – market liquidity risk, results from the Group's failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.

During the first semester of 2022, customer deposits increased by Euro 1.5 billion. This is an 3% increase compared to 31.12.2021. Direct Greek Government deposits, had zero balance during this period.

During 2022, the subsidiaries continued to have increased liquidity. Their buffer, comprising of Cash and Reserves to Central Bank, government securities both acceptable and non-acceptable as collateral by the Central Bank, senior securities issued by financial institutions, subordinated securities both non-acceptable as collateral by the Central Bank, etc., on 30.6.2022 stood at the level Euro 1.46 billion for Cyprus and Euro 0.51 billion for Romania.

The decision of the European Central Bank (on 7.4.2020 and on 22.4.2020) to accept Greek sovereign debt instruments as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations even though they do not meet minimum ECB rating requirements was sustained through the first semester of 2022. With this decision, the European Central Bank recognizes the recent progress achieved by the Hellenic Republic and helps common confrontation among states in the Eurozone.

Already from 24.6.2020, the Bank participated in the TLTRO III program which provides long-term financing with a conventional negative interest rate -0.5%. It is noted that the financing rate of this program can be set at -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2022, provided that specific goals have been achieved, regarding the amount of the Bank's loans granted for individual periods. In particular:

  • If the amount of loans granted under the program, for the period March 2020 - March 2021, remains at the levels of March 2020, the interest rate will be -1% for the period June 2020 - June 2021 and -0.5% for the remaining duration of the financing.
  • In addition, if the loans granted for the period October

2020 - December 2021 remain at the levels of October 2020, the borrowing rate can be set at -1% for the period June 2021 - June 2022.

Moreover, following the announcement of 10.12.2020, three additional dates for participation in this program were added (June, September and December 2021) and the borrowing allowance under TLTRO III was increased from 50% to 55% of eligible loans.

In this context, the Bank's financing from the Eurosystem, stood at Euro 13.0 billion on 30.6.2022. Since 24.6.2022 the interest rate stands at 0%.

During the same period a decrease of the more expensive interbank repurchase agreements (repos) by Euro 0.21 billion was observed. Through the financing of TLTRO III, the Bank managed to extend the duration of long term financing, as well as to improve the pricing conditions in relation to the repurchase agreements.

On 5.5.2022, the ECB published amendments regarding the gradually phasing out the pandemic collateral easing measures introduced in April 2020 as announced on 24 March 2022, and also the clarification of the eligibility criteria for sustainability-linked bonds and asset-backed securities (ABSs). In May inflation rose significantly, mainly because of surging energy and food prices, due to the impact of the war in Ukraine. On this basis on 9.6.2022, the ECB announced the intention to reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the programme (PEPP) until at least the end of 2024. Moreover on 15.6.2022, the ECB announced more flexibility in reinvesting redemptions coming due in the PEPP portfolio in order to provide price stability.

In order to ensure that the Banks are prepared to confront the crisis of the pandemic of Covid-19, the Single Supervisory Mechanism requested an exceptional liquidity monitoring exercise conducted on a monthly basis.The SSM has not up to this point identified any specific issues as a result of this exercise.

In the context of the Internal liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process, the Bank reviewed the policies and procedures of the liquidity stress test scenarios.

The interbank financing (short, medium to long-term) and the Early Warning Indicators of the Bank, and of Group's subsidiaries are monitored on a daily basis, and analysis is performed in order to capture daily variations.

Taking into consideration the Greek economy and the new conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, liquidity stress tests are conducted on a regular basis in order to assess potential outflows (contractual or contingent). The purpose of this process is to confirm whether the existing liquidity buffer is adequate in order to cover Bank needs. These exercises are carried out in accordance with the approved Liquidity Risk Policy of the Group.

During 2021, the Contingency Funding Plan was updated to incorporate an increased liquidity buffer. The Contingency Funding Plan is complementary to the Recovery Plan. Its purpose is to facilitate increased awareness in the beginning of a possible liquidity crisis in order to perform remedial actions, in a timely manner, to mitigate a reduction in liquidity buffer.

INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is the risk that examines how a change in base interest rates (i.e. Euro swap curve) will affect Net Interest Income of the Group and the Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Economic Value of Equity).

The change in net interest income and the change in economic value of equity, which results from a change in base interest rates, are calculated for internal and prudential stress scenarios on a regular basis. The relevant IRRBB stress results are presented to Asset Liability Management Committee and Board Risk Management Committee.

During the first semester of 2022, the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis contributed to lower growth in the economy and higher inflation. As a result, Federal Reserve raised the key interest rate three times at the level 1.75%, while ECB increased its key lending rate by 50 basis points (currently 0,5% from 0%) and the deposit rate (currently 0% from negative -0.50%). It is estimated that higher interest rates will lead to an increase in interest income resulting in an improvement in the Net Interest Margin. Specifically, an interest rate increase by 200 basis points may improve the Net Interest Income by 15-20%, depending on the degree of repricing of cost of customer deposits.

During last year, interest rate risk of the banking book decreased significantly due to the Non-performing loan portfolio decrease that carried fixed interest rates. Specifically, a significant decrease of NPE was realized through Galaxy & Cosmos securitization and Orbit & Sky sale. The effect of improving loan portfolio credit quality is the protection against Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book which is worsened by higher default rates for customers (firms & households) that are sensitive to inflation and interest rates rise.

Furthermore, IRRBB remained within risk appetite framework limits. This also includes subsidiary level limits.

The system used for IRRBB analysis is Sendero Data Management and Risk Manager.

The Sendero upgraded version resulted to better support for regulatory reports and KRIs, Dynamic Gap, DV01 by time bucket and Fair Value Gap. Moreover, it enhanced the Earning at Risk calculation. Finally, the subsidiary Banks in Cyprus and Romania have already been integrated into the Sendero system, resulting in better data quality for the subsidiaries, due to the automatic integration of their data into the application.

IBOR REFORM

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), one of the main and most important interest rate benchmarks used in global financial markets ceased to exist or lost its representativeness since January 1st, 2022. Specific GBP and JPY settings, following guidance from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, continued to be published under a changed methodology known as "synthetic" for a short period of time to facilitate with the transition. Furthermore, the continuation of some USD LIBOR settings through June 30th, 2023, is intended only to support the maturity of legacy products.

Despite its importance, LIBOR's shortcomings have led regulators to opt for a transition away from LIBOR to alternative reference rates known as Risk-Free-Rates (RFRs). National Working Groups developed new rates, based on recommendations of the Financial Stability Board, an international body monitoring the global financial system. Financial Institutions across the globe switched smoothly to RFRs. The changes affected LIBOR and EONIA (Euro Overnight Index Average) while EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) was fundamentally reformed and compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 ("Benchmark Regulation") which has established a common framework to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments.

The Group took all the necessary steps and complied with the above regulations and recommendations. A detailed action plan has been formulated and the internal Working Group, representing several workstreams, identified dependencies to LIBORs and implemented the necessary amendments.

The Group informed its clientele on the LIBOR transition well in advance by uploading on its web site all the relevant information. Furthermore, dedicated correspondence was sent to clients with direct exposure to LIBOR reform. Furthermore, the Group is currently preparing the transition

of the remaining USD LIBOR settings which continue to exist up to June 30th, 2023. With regards to new developments the Euro Risk Free Rates Working Group has recommended a forward-looking term rate as a fallback for EURIBOR for certain asset classes. On June 13, 2022, The European Money Markets Institute (EMMI) started to publish a beta version of its EURIBOR fallback rate (EFTERM – Euro Forward Looking Term Rate). This is a term rate designed to measure the average expected €STR rates over the standard EURIBOR settings. Once live, the EFTERM will support supervised entities to nominate an alternative benchmark, where feasible and appropriate, in the event that the benchmark in use materially changes or ceases to exist.

The beta EFTERM rates are for information and illustration purposes only. They are expected to facilitate EURIBOR users to evaluate them as a fallback.

The Group continues to monitor all relevant market developments, taking all necessary actions to ensure compliance where required and to support its customers.

MARKET, FOREIGN CURRENCY AND COUNTERPARTY RISK

The Group has developed a strong control environment, applying policies and procedures in accordance with the regulatory framework and international best practices, in order to meet business needs involving market and counterparty risk while limiting adverse impact on results and equity. The framework of methodologies and systems for the effective management of those risks is evolving on a continuous basis in accordance with the changing circumstances in the markets and in order to meet customer requirements.

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from unfavorable changes in the price or volatility of products with underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock exchange indices, equity prices and commodities. The valuation of bonds and derivative positions are monitored on an ongoing basis. Stress tests are conducted on a regular basis using extreme scenarios in order to assess the impact for each scenario on profit and loss and capital adequacy, in the markets where the Group operates.

A detailed structure for trading limits, investment limits and counterparty limits has been adopted and implemented. This structure involves regularly monitoring trigger events that could signal increased volatility in certain markets. This increased volatility means that a limit decrease is applied in these markets. The limits above are monitored on an ongoing basis and any limit breaches identified are reported officially.

For the mitigation of interest rate and foreign currency risk of the banking portfolio, hedging strategies are applied using derivatives and hedge effectiveness is tested on a regular basis.

During the first semester of 2022 Trading book market risk, as measured by Value at Risk, fluctuated between Euro 1,7 million and Euro 4 million. Value at Risk is the maximum loss that could take place in one day with 99% Confidence level. Value at Risk captures foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, price risk and commodity risk in the trading book.

Taking into consideration the bond reclassification performed by the Bank from the FVOCI to the Amortized Cost portfolio, the risk appetite was reviewed. Bond reclassification from the FVOCI to the Amortized Cost portfolio is currently in progress by the subsidiary banks and is expected to conclude during the third quarter of 2022. During the first semester of 2022, yields increased: the 10 year German Government Bond yield by 151 bps., the 10 year Greek Government Bond yield by 229 bps., while the 10 year Italian Government Bond yield by 209 bps. The increase in yields had limited impact on the FVOCI bond portfolio due to the reclassification.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational Risk is defined as the risk of financial or qualitative negative effects resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, IT systems, people (intentionally or unintentionally) and external events. Operational Risk includes legal risk.

In the context of its capital calculation process for Operational Risk, the Group implements the Standardized Approach and meets all the qualitative criteria required by this Approach.

The Group has implemented a new operational risk GRC platform (Governance Risk Compliance), effective the second quarter of 2022. Further to loss event monitoring, that was supported by the previous system, the platform that replaces it has enhanced functionality in the areas of Operational Risk Assessments (i.e. RCSAs), Key Risk Indicator monitoring, Operational Risk mitigation plans and is also used by the Cybersecurity and Information Security Division and the Group Data Protection Officer.

The development of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) as a control monitoring mechanism has continued at the Group level. Concurrently, the operational risk events management processes have been further strengthened.

In line with the Group's established Operational Risk framework, the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) procedure is being implemented across the Group, according to the year 2022 annual plan. The RCSA procedure aims to identify and assess risks that may affect the operations and processes of the Banks' Units/Group Companies, recognize potential control gaps, as well as design and implement action plans for their remediation.

The evolution of Operational Risk Events, the RCSA results, and all other Operational Risk related issues are closely monitored by the Group's responsible Operational Risk and Internal Control Committees, which are empowered to monitor and review the Group's Operational Risk exposures and ensure that appropriate measures for their mitigation are adopted.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Group's Capital Strategy commits to maintain strong capital adequacy both from economic and regulatory perspective. It aims at monitoring and adjusting Group's capital levels, taking into consideration capital markets' demand and supply, in an effort to achieve the optimal balance between the economic and regulatory considerations.

The overall Group's Risk and Capital Strategy sets specific risk limits, based on management's risk appetite, as well as thresholds to monitor whether actual risk exposure deviates from the limits set.

The objectives of the Group's capital management policy are to ensure that the Group has sufficient capital to cover the risks of its business, to support its strategy and to comply with regulatory capital requirements, at all times.

1. Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP)

On February 2, 2022, the ECB informed Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. that from March 2022 the minimum limit of the consolidated Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) is 14.25% increased by 0.25% versus 2021 as a result of the gradual increase of the Other Systemically Important Institutions buffer (O-SII). The OCR consists of the minimum threshold of the Total Equity Ratio (8%), in accordance with Article 92 (1) of the CRR, the additional supervisory requirements for Pillar II (P2R) in accordance with Article 16 (2) (a) of Regulation 1024/2013 / EU, which amount to 3.0%, as well as the combined security requirements (CBR), in accordance with Article 128 (6) of Directive 2013/36 / EU, which amount to 3.25%.The minimum rate should be maintained on an ongoing basis, considering the CRR / CRD IV Transitional Provisions.

The Bank of Greece has set the O-SII buffer at 0.75% for 2022, increased by 0.25% compared to 2021 and the

Countercyclical Capital buffer at 0%, effective from 1 January 2022.

The capital adequacy requirements set by the SSM / ECB and economic capital are used by the Group as the basis for its capital management. The Group seeks to maintain sufficient capital to ensure that these requirements are met.

2. Measures for Covid-19.

In the light of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Commission (EC), announced a series of measures in order to ensure that banks will be able to continue financing the economy. More specifically, on 12 March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced that Banks in the Eurozone are temporarily allowed to operate below the level of capital defined by the Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) and the Countercyclical Buffer (CCyB), while on 28 July 2020, the ECB announced that this measure will be effective at least until the end of 2022.

Furthermore, the change in the composition of the P2R buffer that would apply under CRD V was brought forward allowing the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) to be covered by Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital by 18.75% and Tier 2 (T2) capital by 25% and not only by CET 1.

In addition, the European Commission decided to bring forward regulations that would normally come in effect with the CRR2/CRDV framework, so that banks can fully support citizens and companies during the pandemic by providing funding. As a result, Regulation (EU) 2020/873 which included amendments in capital requirements set by Regulations 575/2013 and 876/2019, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 June 2020. Among others, the new regulation includes articles 468 and 473a which introduce provisions aiming to:

  • Mitigate the negative impact on the regulatory capital of banks from the increase in the expected credit loss resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, by extending for two-years the ability to add-back to the regulatory capital the expected credit losses recognized in 2020 and thereafter relating to performing financial instruments. This transition period is effective until the end of 2024.
  • Neutralize debt market volatility deriving from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic by introducing a temporary prudential filter, effective from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. As a result of the application of the filter, banks will be able to add -back a percentage of the unrealised gains and losses in the sovereign debt securities placements that affect CET1 capital. For 2022 the applied percentage is 40%.

The Bank has decided to adopt the provisions of articles 468 and 473a of the Regulation (EU) 873/2020

Finally, on 22 December 2020, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2176/2020 of 12 November 2020 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 241/2014 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The regulation includes certain provisions for the deduction of software assets from CET1.

3. IFRS 9 Capital Impact

Regarding the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9), the Group makes use of Article 473a of the Regulation No 2395/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by EU Regulation 873/2020, and applies the transitional provisions for the calculation of Capital Adequacy. The Group is adequately capitalized to meet the needs arising from the application of the Standard, which will be fully implemented in 2023. The impact from the full implementation is estimated at approximately 1,2 % and the CET1 ratio would stand at 13,9 % as of 30.6.2022, for the Group.

4. Capital Ratios

At 30.6.2022, the consolidated Common Equity Tier I capital (CET I) stood at Euro 4.4 billion, and the Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) amounted to Euro 35.9 billion, resulting in a CET1 ratio of 12,4 %, down by 0.9% versus 31.12.2021, affected mainly by the application of IFRS9 transitional arrangements for 2022, the Prometheas, Hermes and Leasing transactions.

5. Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs)

Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) that are included in the Group's capital base as at 30.6.2022 stood at Euro 5.4 billion. According to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 as amended by article 4 of Law 4340/1.11.2015 «Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the Ministry of Finance» and was amended by Greek law 4549/2018, 4722/2020 and, most recently, 4831/2021, deferred tax assets that have been recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, which were accounted until 30.6.2015, are converted into final and settled claims against the Greek State. The above mentioned are set into force in case the accounting result for the period after taxes is a loss, according to the audited and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting financial statements.

In accordance with article 39 of CRR 575/2013 of the European Parliament and its Council, on precautionary requirements supervision for credit institutions and investment companies and the amendment of CRR 648/2012, a risk weight of 100% will be applied to the above-mentioned deferred tax assets that may be converted into tax credit, instead of being deducted from regulatory capital.

On 30.6.2022, the amount of deferred tax assets which is eligible to the scope of the aforementioned Law for the Bank and the Group and is included in Common Equity Tier I amounts to Euro 2.8 billion and constitutes 7,8 % of the Group's Common Equity Tier I and 63.3 % of the respective weighted assets.

Any change in the above framework that will result in the non-recognition of deferred tax assets as a tax credit will have an adverse effect on the Bank's and Group's capital adequacy.

6. Capital Requirements under Pillar I

The approaches adopted for the calculation of the capital requirements under Pillar I are determined by the policy of the Group in conjunction with factors such as the nature and type of risks the Group undertakes, the level and complexity of the Group's business and other factors such as the degree of readiness of the information and software systems.

Capital Requirements for Credit Risk are calculated using the Standardized Approach (STA). The advanced method is used for the valuation of financial collaterals. For the Operational Risk capital requirements, the Group follows the Standardized Approach (STA). For the Market Risk the Bank uses a Value at Risk (VaR) model developed at a bank level for the significant exposures and approved by the Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Bank uses the Standardized approach to calculate Market Risk for the remaining, nonsignificant exposures.

INTERNAL CAPITAL ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS (ICAAP) AND INTERNAL LIQUIDITY ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS (ILAAP)

The ICAAP and ILAAP processes are an integral part of the Internal Control System (ICS) of the Group. They are aligned with the best practices and the general principles and requirements set by the regulatory Framework, including the guidelines provided by SSM and/ or EBA. These guidelines allow for:

  • The identification, analysis, monitoring and the overall assessment of risks to capital and liquidity.
  • The improvement of various systems/ procedures/ policies related to the assessment and management of risks.
  • The estimation of the Internal Capital required for the coverage of all risks and the determination, management and monitoring of the liquidity buffer.
  • Capital and liquidity planning taking also into consideration the Group's Risk appetite and the approved business plan.

ICAAP and ILAAP are integrated into the business, decisionmaking and risk management processes of the Group, contributing to its continuity by ensuring its capital and liquidity adequacy from different but complementary perspectives (e.g. the economic perspective and the normative perspective), while both perspectives mutually inform each other and are integrated into all material business activities and decisions.

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility of the ICAAP/ILAAP implementation with a clear and transparent assignment of responsibilities to the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management members. The Board, following the Risk Management Committee endorsement, approves the results of the ICAAP and the ILAAP and signs the Group's Capital Adequacy Statement (CAS) and the Liquidity Adequacy Statement (LAS).

The related reports are updated at least annually, or on a more frequent basis if material changes occur and are submitted to the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank. ICAAP and ILAAP are assessed yearly by the ECB as part of the Supervisory Review and Examination Process (SREP).

REGULATORY LIQUIDITY

The Group's NPE deleveraging, coupled with the customer deposits increase, the restored market access and the issuances of Euro 1.4 billion, improved the Group's funding mix. As of 30 June 2022, the Group's LCR is estimated at 160.4%.

MREL

The MREL (Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities) constitutes a buffer that the Bank has to maintain in order to absorb losses in the event of resolution. The required minimum levels of MREL are determined by the Single Resolution Board (SRB) on an annual basis.

As per the latest official SRB decision, from 01 January 2022, Alpha Bank S.A. (resolution enity) shall comply, on a consolidated basis (referring to consolidated figures of Alpha Bank S.A), with an intermediate MREL target equal to 14.02% of Total Risk Exposure Amount (TREA) and 5.91% of Leverage Exposure (LRE).

From 01 January 2026, the consolidated MREL will become "fully loaded" and will be set equal to 23.37% of TREA and 5.92% of LRE.

As of 30 June 2022, Group's MREL ratio stood at 17.5%. The above-mentioned ratio includes the profit of the financial reporting period that ended on 30 June 2022.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

In addition to the information on the Bank's activities to address Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) risks described in the previous specific section, further Bank activities addressing corporate responsibility and sustainability are described below.

The Group's organization and operation are governed by principles such as integrity and honesty, impartiality and independence, confidentiality and discretion, as provided for in the Bank's Code of Ethics and in the principles of Corporate Governance. Particular significance is attached to the identification, measurement and management of the undertaken risk, to the compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework, to transparency and to the provision of full, accurate and truthful information to the Stakeholders.

The Bank acts responsibly to actively contribute to the protection of the environment and to the conservation of natural resources and is committed to addressing the direct and indirect impacts of its activities on the environment. Additionally, through its participation in the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), undertaken by financial organizations around the world to promote sustainable development, it incorporates the relevant environmental principles in its financial activities.

Since 2019, the Bank adheres the six Principles for Responsible Banking, which were developed as an international initiative of the United Nations – Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and has been committed to align its operation with the six Principles. To this end, the Bank has set targets, which are monitored on an annual basis, aiming to increase its positive effect on society and the environment, utilizing new business opportunities and generating value for all stakeholders. During 2022, the Group continued to refine its action plan, which is now integrated in its ESG agenda aiming to integrate sustainability across all of its operations. This will lead to the publication of an overall Group ESG strategy in 2023.

The Group follows specific policies for Human Resources with respect to the diversity of its Employees and the right to union membership and collective bargaining, while opposing any form of child labor, forced or compulsory labor. In addition respects and defends the diversity of its employees as it promotes a culture that fosters diversity and inclusion for its workforce and implements appropriate metrics to monitor diversity at all levels.

The Bank ensures excellent working conditions and development opportunities as well as the health and safety of employees in the workplace. Provides fair remuneration, based on contracts that are in line with the respective national labor market, ensuring compliance with the relevant national regulations on legal minimum wages, working hours, annual leaves and ensures the continuous training and education of its Employees. During 2021, a revamped HR intranet webpage was launched contributing to an enhanced employee experience. Additionally, the direct communication point with employees, via the #stayconnected platform, that was already in place since 2020, was further developed. The platform offered coaching, parental advising and well-being sessions during the year with a significant participation rate in most initiatives. Moreover, Communities of Change within the Bank were created in late 2021 and further developed during the first semester of 2022, with a focus on:

  • Establishing a prosperous teamworking spirit among the members of the Communities
  • Sharing knowledge, best practices and experiences from experts
  • Advancing collaboration in order to achieve the Bank's targets

In addition, the Bank applies the principles of Corporate Responsibility in the whole range of its activities and seeks the compliance of its Suppliers and Partners with the values and business principles that govern its operation.

countries and regions. Finally, Alpha Services and Holdings is among the listed companies included in the ATHEX ESG Index which commenced trading on August 2, 2021, aiming to help investors identify Greek companies that showcase substantial ESG performance.

TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

Alpha Bank's Transformation program "the alpha blueprint" is an ambitious and holistic program aiming to achieve significant performance acceleration and strengthen capabilities across the Bank. The program is the vehicle to unlock impact in three key pillars of the Bank's strategy: customer-centric growth, organizational effectiveness, and operational efficiency. The program has 7 thematic areas: (1) Retail, (2) Wholesale, (3) Growth & Innovation and improvement of client's experience (CX) t, (4) Lending, (5) Core Technology, (6) Productivity, and (7) People and culture. Following the completion of the bottom-up planning and design phases, the program has been in the implementation and value capture phase since June 2021.

The Transformation has already delivered significant financial (cost savings and revenue growth enablement) and non-financial impact (e.g., capabilities and platforms). Due to the changes in the macroeconomic environment over the past 6 months, the program has also put further focus on initiatives related to cost rationalization and the transformation of the Retail platform. In Retail Banking, the key objectives are to (a) build a client-centric core offering through segmentation and holistic value propositions on top of a basic ("lean core") offering, (b) optimize the branch network to enhance productivity, and (c) expand digital capabilities, delivering important infrastructure projects that will enable future growth. Frontline capacity of more than 300 FTEs (Full Time Employee) has been freed up from the branch network so far by optimization and productivity levers, with several major in-branch operational efficiency projects, centralizing back-office and administrative activities, completed. Moreover, a new, priority, segment was defined and deployed to over 200 branches. The lean core value proposition, covering over 80% of active customers, has been defined, and will be piloted in the market in the next 6 months and launched in early 2023. In Wholesale Banking, the key objectives are to (a) define a clear strategy by segment, focusing on capital profitability, (b) upgrade the Bank's digital product offering to increase efficiency, and (3) enhance the customer experience. A significant EVA (Economic Value Added) improvement has already been achieved through a new strategy for EVA destroyers, through a change in operating model, with more than 80%

of relevant clients already migrated. Three new digital products and functionalities are live with an additional 10 planned to go live until the end of the year. Transactions from business customers in branches have significantly been reduced by over 50% and more than 8,000 clients have been trained in the new digital solutions. The Bank's Digital Transformation agenda is progressing at pace; the new digital consumer loan (launched in December 2021) is on course to significantly overperform versus the annual target set, with digital applications accounting for more than 70% of the total over the past few months. Moreover, key digital infrastructure projects that will enable a significant shift of sales and servicing to the online channels are in progress. Significant progress has been achieved in increasing internal operational efficiency, where five core projects (e.g., automations and operating model changes) have been completed, and capacity corresponding to more than 150 FTE has already been released from central functions. Furthermore, third party spend initiatives have already delivered approximately a yearly amount of Εuro 8 million of recurring savings for the Bank. Last, a new IT operating model has been defined, aiming to increase efficiency and speed of delivery. Initiatives to decrease IT cost by over Euro 10 million on a yearly basis are currently on track, aiming to meet the same demand at a lower cost within 2022. In the Organizational Effectiveness front, the vast majority of employees are now covered by a new performance management system. At the same time, the new Purpose and Values of the Bank have been finalized and their operationalization will start within the year.

In the first half of 2022, the Transformation has delivered significant impact to the Bank, both in financial and nonfinancial terms. Across a portfolio of 80+ initiatives, over 30 initiatives are fully completed and another 40+ initiatives are planned to be delivered by the end of 2022.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATION ACTIVITIES

During the implementation of Alpha Bank's Transformation Program "the alpha blueprint", digital change is drastically accelerated, enhancing Alpha Bank's competitiveness and its ability to respond directly and effectively to the ever-changing needs of the Customers, through the deployment of innovative digital infrastructure technologies, strengthening the capabilities of the Bank's digital channels, as well as redesigning the key customer journeys, focusing on areas that concern our clientele basic needs.

In 2022, the Bank continued to upgrade its digital channels

(web and mobile banking), supporting the daily transactional needs of the Customers, offering greater ease of use, speed and even safer transactions.

In the first half of the year, Customers continued to choose the Bank's digital channels for their transactions, as evidenced by the 95% of them carried out digitally, with only 5% carried out at the Bank's Branch network. In fact, both the number and value of transactions via the digital channels recorded an increase of 18% and 27% respectively, compared to the 1st half of 2021.

Registration of new users to e-Banking also recorded an increase, exceeding 220,000 new subscribers in the 1st half of 2022, with 1 in 3 completing their registration exclusively remotely through the myAlpha Mobile application.

During that time, more functionalities and improvements became available via the my Alpha Web for Individuals platform, such as the upgrade of the subscriber KYC (Know Your Customer) information update via "Gov.gr", without the need to visit a Branch, the ability to add and activate inactive (unmoving) accounts, as well as the possibility of issuing the new Aegean Bonus debit card.

At the same time, in order to address the increased incidents of electronic fraud, a series of actions were implemented with the aim of informing customers as promptly and effectively as possible. Specifically, as of June 2022, users of my Alpha Mobile application are being informed about changes they make to the Security Settings of their subscription, such as, changing Username/Password, adding or deleting a paired device, via informative Push Notifications.

Similarly, Web Banking for Business Users was enhanced with new features, such as the increase in the number of multiple transfers and the ability to save them in order to re execute them, the ability to create an xml file for multiple transfers, the ability to carry out and save multiple payments, the increase of a transaction limit up to 500,000 euros without currency conversion, the ability to carry out urgent transfers in Greece and abroad (without currency conversion) but also with the option of OUR expenses, as well as email Alerts regarding the expiration of Legalization Documents of legal representatives and web users, in order to inform Customers ahead of time so they can complete the process of renewing the Legalization of their Business.

At the same time, at the beginning of the year, a new online product became available via myAlpha Web for Business Users, Alpha online Term Deposit for Business, with an initial capital of Εuro 50,000 and the possibility of early liquidation.

Customers preference towards myAlpha Mobile was clear for the first half of 2022, with the users that carry out transactions via their mobile phone outnumbering the ones carrying them out via myAlpha Web. In fact, 7 out of 10 active Customers with e-Banking credentials used myAlpha Mobile on a monthly basis, while the number and value of transactions via the application recorded an increase of 37% and 47% respectively.

In addition, a large number of new and existing Alpha Bank customers chose Alpha Bank for the issuing of their Fuel Pass, the financial support to address the increase in the fuel cost, exceeding 440,000 applications, with 45% of them selecting the virtual card, accessible via the myAlpha Mobile App.

At the same time, the trend for online sales was significantly strengthened through e-Banking for Individuals in the first half of 2022, with a typical example being the exclusively digital consumer loan myAlpha Quick Loan which became available via myAlpha Mobile and myAlha Web in early 2022. Specifically, more than 8,000 loans were disbursed, with the vast majority of applications having been made from the mobile phone, representing 72% of all consumer loans and 49% of the total volume (€) disbursed in the first half of 2022 by the Bank.

The percentage of new online debit card issued appears correspondingly high, reaching 35% of the total card issues, with 1 in 5 new cards being issued from the myAlpha Mobile application. Equally, the percentage of online term deposits for Individuals (Alpha Online Term Deposit and Alpha Online Term Deposit with Bonus) has performed well, with 40% of total new term deposits being issued via the Bank's Digital Networks.

Regarding Customer Journeys, Retail Onboarding for Individuals, which commenced in December 2020 offering prospective customers the opportunity to open an account, obtain a debit card as well as e-Banking credentials through their mobile phone without visiting a Branch, attracted in the first half of 2022 35% of the total new relationships / accounts opened with the Bank. In fact, 1 in 2 customers who chose Alpha Bank to start their banking relationship, did so from their mobile phone and specifically via the myAlpha Mobile application.

Similarly, the Digital Business Onboarding for Businesses service, which commenced in August 2020 and was further enhanced in February 2021, offering prospective corporate customers the opportunity to obtain a current account and a subscription to e-Banking for Business Users without visiting a Branch, attracted in the first half of 2022, approximately 2 out of 5 companies that started their cooperation with Alpha Bank.

The digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, myAlpha Wallet and Garmin) offered, first by Alpha Bank to its Customers, continued their upward course in the first semester of 2022, recording a significant increase, with the number of new transactions made using Visa and Mastercard cards, to be up to 13.4 million.

In the first half of 2022, Alpha Bank received seven distinctions at the recent Digital Finance Awards, in recognition of the digital innovation applied in its products and services as well as in the initiatives to upgrade its IT systems, contributing to the transformation of the Greek banking sector and creating tangible benefits for its Customers, Individuals and Businesses.

In particular, the Bank received

  • Two Gold awards for the Digital Business Onboarding service and the Core Banking Private Cloud & Containerization project in the categories "Best CX / Customer Loyalty Initiative" and "Best Core Banking System Project" respectively.
  • Four Silver Awards for the myAlpha for Individuals, myAlpha Wallet, Retail on Boarding and the Digital Business Onboarding services, in the categories "Best Internet Banking", "Best Wallet", "Best Digital Product Launch" and "Best Corporate Financing Digital Initiative" respectively.
  • A Bronze Award for Retail and Business Onboarding services in the category "Best Operations / Business Process / Agile / Development Project".

As far as the ATM Bank Network is concerned, during the first half of 2022 the deposit and payment service was enhanced with the bundle banknotes deposit, which resulted in an increase of 17.5% in the volume of deposit and cash payment transactions and 26.0% of their value, compared to the first half of 2021.

At the same time, voice-guided transactions for people with limited vision was extended to 284 ATMs of the Network, providing the ability to withdraw cash and make balance enquiries to even more people with this disability, simply by connecting their headphones to the corresponding ATM slot.

Regarding the network of Automated Cash Transaction Centres (ACTCs), in the first half of 2022, 95% of the Branch Network had installed at least one ACT, via which deposit and payment transactions are carried out both in cash and by debiting an Alpha Bank card.

In 2022, the Bank continued to improve the already available functionality of issuing Approved Electronic Signatures for its Customers and staff in accordance with European Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS), via myAlpha Web and myAlpha Mobile for Individuals, but also via the

myAlpha for Business Users platform, thus allowing the remote signing of documents by all its Customers and laying the foundations for a new era of remote service experience.

In addition, the Bank actively continued in 2022 the development of the Open Innovation ecosystem, aspiring to identify and create some of the future innovation partners, thus contributing to the creation of value-added services for the Clients.

Specifically, the third International Innovation Competition FinQuest by Alpha Bank began in December 2021 in search of innovative B2B and B2C solutions, at prototype stage or already on the Market, that make use of open data, to improve the experience of our customers or to serve our partners, as well as solutions in the field of data analytics that offer an integrated ESG profiling of medium-sized or even larger companies.

The competition received more than 60 entries from 17 different countries, which were assessed by experienced Bank executives to reach to the top 6 companies that entered the Accelerator stage. In the Accelerator that followed, the finalists attended workshops to further strengthen their proposals, regarding the areas of ESG and Open Banking and participated in mentoring sessions, with Bank executives and consultants from the market, to help the 6 companies adapt their proposal to the demands of the Bank and the market.

Within the year, the competition is expected to be completed with the finalists presenting their proposals before a jury claiming a cash prize, but also the possibility of cooperation with the Bank.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES UNTIL THE END OF 2024

In May 2021, the Group announced its updated Strategic Plan, Project Tomorrow, which includes a series of strategic initiatives intended to drive future performance. The strategic priority (as presented in Project Tomorrow) is to capture the opportunity to participate in the anticipated credit growth for the Greek banking sector, that is expected to be driven by EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility ("RRF") funds and the investments that these funds will mobilize. Capturing a fair market share of that growth will allow the Group to reach higher profitability levels sooner, while the targeted NPE reduction under the Updated Strategic Plan and the transformation plan will allow achievement of a low level of NPEs, a normalized cost of risk and a lean cost base that will support reaching a 10% RoTBV by 2024. The Group's Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:

  • The Revenue increase driven by the asset growth initiative is based on the Bank's ambition to support the anticipated recovery of the Greek economy, driven also by the EU RRF, and to capture our full potential of the anticipated credit growth opportunity stemming from this recovery, enhancing both Net Interest Income from performing exposures and Fee and Commission Income for the Bank;
  • The initiatives for the reduction of non-performing exposures (NPEs), include a series of transactions aimed at significantly reducing NPEs also leading to a large reduction in cost of risk as well as operating costs associated with NPE management. With the submission of the updated NPE Plan in April 2022, the NPE ratio will drop to approximately 7.5% by the end of 2022, aiming at a NPE ratio of 3% by the end of 2024 for the Group. In addition, the NPE initiatives include the Group's ongoing organic NPE reduction (i.e. cures, debt forgiveness, collateral based recoveries and other closing procedures). After the successful completion of the NPE Initiatives, the Group will be able to improve asset quality levels on par with other European banks, while maintaining a satisfactory capital position above applicable minimum capital requirements;
  • The efficiency enhancements initiative of core operations represents the Group's aim to achieve operational excellence by focusing on core commercial banking activities, executing on business and retail banking growth strategy, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs throughout the Group;
  • The asset-light fees and commissions income growth initiative is primarily based on the Group' s strategy to grow the fee income from Wealth Management and Bancassurance products and services. The Group expects to benefit from an anticipated growth in the affluent segment, supported by macro driven demand for asset management products and services, while for Bancassurance products it is expected that the new exclusive partnership with Generali will enable growth, in combination with an anticipated increase in demand for relevant products.

Significant milestones have already been achieved till 30.6.2022, paving the way for solid performance in the years ahead:

• Decisive progress on RRF operationalization has been performed, with the publication of the Request for Financing of Investment Plans through the Loans of the Recovery and Resilience Fund, the receipt of the first tranche from the Resilience and Recovery Fund and the

processing of the first investment plans of the clients with the assistance of the specialized team of the Bank.

  • Decisive NPE reduction for the first half of 2022 of c. Euro 1.9 billion following the reduction of NPEs in 2021 of Euro 15.8 billion, achieving a percentage of 89% of the total NPE reduction targets, with the achievement of NPE ratio of 8,2%;
  • The observed pick-up in commercial activity and the growth in Asset Management allowed the Group to record c. +20% y-o-y increase on fee income reaching the fee income generation target of c. Euro 0.4 billion for 2021. For the first half of 2022, the group's performance in commission income continues to significantly enhance the results, recording an increase in the corresponding half of 2021 by 11%.
  • Transformation program has progressed swiftly enabling the Bank to reach a more productive and efficient profile.

The main objectives for 2022, that will allow to remain aligned with the priorities set through the updated Strategic Plan (Project Tomorrow) for the period up to 2024, are to:

  • Support business growth in Greece with net new loan originations of more than Euro 2.0 billion,
  • Direct excess liquidity towards Assets under Management (AuMs) and new loans,
  • Achieve double digit growth in net commission income mainly driven by a) loan growth (also supported by RRF), B) higher AuMs and C) higher sales of bancassurance products,
  • Continue the NPE reduction plan with completion of the remaining planned capital transactions (of the amount of Euro 1.7 billion relating to the transactions Shipping, Light, Hermes, Solar, Leasing) and the targeted management activities.

The inflationary pressures (in conjunction with the increase in energy costs) that persisted at the end of 2021, have been amplified by the invasion of Russia in Ukraine, thus creating uncertainty in relation to the economic activity of both the domestic and global economy, especially for year 2022. For this reason the Group assesses on a continuous basis its policy mix to ensure the achievement of the profitability and return on equity targets set by 2024.

Ordinary General Meeting of year 2022

On 22.7.2022 the Ordinary General Meeting of the year 2022 was held with the main following decisions:

TRUE TRANSLATION FROM THE ORIGINAL IN GREEK

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholders of "ALPHA SERVICES AND HOLDINGS S.A."

Review Report on Condensed Interim Financial Statements

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying separate and consolidated condensed interim balance sheet of the Company and the Group of "ALPHA SERVICES AND HOLDINGS S.A." as of 30 June 2022 and the related separate and consolidated condensed interim statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes, which together comprise condensed interim financial statements and which represent an integral part of the semi-annual financial report provided under Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS" 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". The review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as transposed in Greek legislation, and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or error in the Statement by the Members of the Board of Directors and in the information included in the Board of Directors' Semi-Annual Management Report provided under articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007 when compared to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED

1.1 Basis of presentation

The Group has prepared the condensed interim financial statements for the current period ending at 30.6.2022 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31.12.2021.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the condensed interim financial statements are the same as those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2021, after taking into account the amendments to standards which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2022, for which further analysis is provided in note 1.1.2.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. However, some assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Those assets are the following:

  • Securities held for trading
  • Derivative financial instruments
  • Loans and advances to customers measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • The contingent consideration recognized either as a result of a business combination in which the Group is the acquirer or in the context of asset disposal transactions in which the Group is the seller.

The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

1.1.1 Going concern

The financial statements as at 30.6.2022 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the formation, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the following areas which are considered important during its assessment:

Developments in the macroeconomic environment

The recovery of economic activity in Greece, following the recession caused by the pandemic crisis in 2020, continued in the first quarter of 2022, as real GDP increased by 2.3% on a quarterly basis for the seventh consecutive quarter and by 7% on an annual basis, for the fourth consecutive quarter. Economic growth was driven primarily by private consumption, which grew by 11.6% on an annual basis, contributing 7.9 points to the annual GDP growth rate, supported by the accumulation of savings during the pandemic and the notable rise in of employment.

Investment recorded the second largest positive contribution to GDP growth in the first quarter of 2022 (1.6 percentage points), as it increased by 12.7%, while the contribution of inventories (including statistical differences) was marginal, at 0.2 percentage points. The largest increase, from the individual categories of investments, was recorded by investments in residences (18.6%, on an annual basis), followed by other constructions (15.9%) and investments in mechanical and technological equipment (15.4%). Public consumption also contributed positively to the rise in economic activity in the first quarter, by 0.4 percentage points, as a result of the fiscal support measures for households and businesses adopted by the government and mainly related to dealing with the negative effects of increased energy costs. On the contrary, net exports of goods and services had a negative contribution to the change in GDP in the first quarter, by 3.1 percentage points, as the increase in imports of goods and services (17.5% on an annual basis) exceeded the increase in the corresponding exports (9.6%).

Inflation, based on the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), remained on an upward trajectory in the first two months of 2022 and accelerated after the outbreak of war. The HICP increased by an average of 8.5% on an annual basis in the first half of 2022, compared to a decrease of 1.3% in the same period of 2021, primarily due to rising global energy prices - given that Greece is net importer of energy-, disruptions in supply chains and shortages of raw materials. In 2022, harmonized inflation is expected to be 8.9% according to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer, July 2022) and 7.6% according to the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report, June 2022).

The uncertainty that prevails in the international environment, according to the latest available estimates, will slow down the recovery of the Greek economy in the short term. The uncertainty factors concern: (i) geopolitical risks, (ii) inflationary pressures and mainly the increase in energy prices, which intensified after the outbreak of war in February 2022, (iii) the possibility of interruption of natural gas supply from Russia to the European Union in the immediate term which is expected to exert further pressure on the general price index, but also on the functioning of the real economy and (iv) on the increase in interest rates and borrowing costs that may delay the implementation of investment plans.

The forecast recently published by the European Commission, for the growth rate of Greece's GDP in 2022, has been revised upwards to 4% (European Economic Forecast, Summer, July 2022), from 3.5% in May (European Economic Forecast, Spring 2022). The latter was based on the indications of high performance of tourism in the current year, but also on the estimated increase in investments, in the context of utilizing the resources of the Recovery Fund. In addition, private consumption is estimated to continue to grow during 2022 and is expected to be supported by the partial use of accumulated savings to maintain consumers' living standards, by the positive impact of additional fiscal measures aimed at mitigating rising energy costs and from the rise in employment. The prolongation of geopolitical instability and intensifying inflationary pressures, however, may bring about a significant reduction in disposable income, in Greece, but also in other European countries, with negative results for consumption, Greek tourism and, consequently, economic growth. In this direction, the European Commission predicts a slowdown in the rate of change of Greece's GDP, to 2.4% in 2023.

Liquidity

Regarding the liquidity levels of the Group, it is noted that there was no adverse change due to Covid-19 in terms of the Banks' ability to draw liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and from money markets (with or without collateral) nor restrictions on the use of the Group's cash reserves as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with very low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 30.6.2022 amounts to € 12.8 billion (note 16). In addition, in order to reinforce its liquidity, the Bank issued on 16.9.2021 a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 500 million, with a 6.5-year maturity, callable in year 5.5 with a coupon of 2.5% and a yield of 2.625%, while, additionally on 10.12.2021 the Bank issued a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 400 mil, with a 2-year maturity, with a coupon of 3% and callable the first year. In addition, it is important that the European Central Bank, in its decisions in March, April and December 2020, accepted the securities of the Hellenic Republic as collateral for liquidity operations. It is noted that the available eligible collaterals through which the drawing of liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and / or from third sources is ensured, to the extent required, amounts to € 13.4 billion as of 30.6.2022. In addition, private sector deposits increased by € 1.6 billion. As a result of the above, the liquidity ratios (liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio) exceed the supervisory limits that have been set. Moreover, considering the conditions that form the current economic environment, stress test exercises are carried out regularly (at least monthly) for liquidity purposes, in order to assess possible outflows (contractual or potential). The Group completes successfully the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer. As a result, based on the Group's plan as well on internal stress tests the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves to meet its needs.

Capital Adequacy

On 30.6.2022, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group stands at 12.4%, while the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio at 15.1%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank as further described in note 27. It is also important that due to the spread of Covid-19, the European Central Bank decided to temporarily deviate from the minimum limits of regulatory capital for European Banks at least until the end of 2022. The Bank in order to strengthen its capital proceeded on 4.3.2021 to the issuance of new Tier 2 bond amounting to € 500 mil, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with initial fixed coupon of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, which resets to a new rate effective from the call date until maturity and which is set based on the 5-year swap rate plus a margin 5.823% for the residual maturity. In addition, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (20202023). Taking into consideration the results of the capital Stress Test and the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), as well as the actions that aim in the creation of internal capital through profitability, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio and the MREL ratio will remain higher than the required minimum levels.

Updated Strategic Plan 2021-2024

In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan which is intended to drive the sustainable development and profitability of the Group (note 34). Through the initiatives of this plan the following are expected:

  • Increase in revenue based on the increase in assets
  • Targeted reduction of NPEs,
  • Provision of additional capital buffers through a series of capital measures that support the resolution of NPAs
  • Operating costs reduction and improvement of the efficiency of operations
  • Increase in revenue from commissions,
  • Development of the international presence, especially in Romania.

Based on the above and taking into account:

  • the Group's capital adequacy ratio that is significantly higher than the required minimum levels, the MREL ratio that is higher than the mid-level, as well the specific actions the Bank has planned to further strengthen the ratios,
  • the satisfactory liquidity of the Group,
  • the measures taken by the Group to protect its employees from coronavirus, the implementation of actions under the Business Continuity Plan and the activation of the ability for teleworking at a large scale whilst ensuring that critical operations are performed,
  • the actions taken to enhance efficiency and profitability,
  • the decisions of the eurozone countries to adopt a series of fiscal and other measures to stimulate the economy, according to which Greece is expected to receive € 30.5 billion from the recovery package for Europe "Next Generation EU",
  • that even though the prolonged duration as well as the form that the Russia and Ukraine war conflict will possibly take may adversely affect the macroeconomic environment, the Group has limited exposure to Russian and Ukrainian economy as well as significant buffers of capital adequacy and liquidity,

the Board of Directors estimates that, at least for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the conditions for the application of the going concern principle for the preparation of its financial statements are met.

1.1.2 Adoption of new standards and of amendments to standards

The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2022:

‣ Amendment to the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Business Combinations": Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 3 in order to update references to the Conceptual Framework. More specifically:

  • amended IFRS 3 in order to refer to the latest version of the Conceptual Framework,
  • added a requirement that for transactions within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 an acquirer applies IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 instead of the Conceptual Framework to identify liabilities it has assumed in a business combination,
  • added an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognise contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

The above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 16 "Property, plant and equipment": Proceeds before intended use (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 16 which prohibits deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to

the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items and the cost of producing them must be recognized in profit or loss.

The above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 37 "Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets": Onerous Contracts – Cost of fulfilling a contract (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 37 in order to clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. These costs are both the incremental costs of fulfilling a contract – for example direct labour and materials- and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling a contract – for example the depreciation charge of an item of property plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract.

The above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Annual Improvements – cycle 2018-2020 (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

As part of the annual improvements project, the International Accounting Standards Board issued on 14.5.2020 non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41.

The above amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

In addition, the European Union has adopted IFRS 17 as well as the following amendments to standards which are effective for annual periods beginning after 1.1.2022 and have not been early adopted by the Group.

‣ International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts" and Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts" (Regulation 2021/2036/19.11.2021)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group, in order to ensure the correct application of the new standard, has started an implementation project of IFRS 17 in its subsidiary Alpha Life. In the context of this project, the contracts are mainly examined in terms of their classification, the level of aggregation, the valuation method and the discount rate to be used. The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above standard on its financial statements.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Disclosure of accounting policies (Regulation 2022/357/2.3.2022)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact form the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors": Definition of accounting estimates (Regulation 2022/357/2.3.2022)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following standards and amendments to standards which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and which have not been early applied by the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and to International Accounting Standard 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.

Effective date: To be determined.

‣ International Financial Reporting Standard 14 "Regulatory deferral accounts"

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2016

The above standard does not apply to the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Financial reporting Standard 17: "Insurance Contracts": Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative information

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The above amendment will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group since in Group's balance sheet liabilities are not classified as current and non-current.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 12 "Income Taxes": Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

Further analysis of the above standards is provided in note 1.1.2 of the annual financial statements as at 31.12.2021.

1.2 Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Significant accounting judgments

The Group, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments and assessments which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Those judgements relate to the following:

Assessment of whether contractual cash flows of a debt financial instrument represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI)

The Group, at initial recognition of a debt financial asset, assesses whether cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment requires judgement mainly on:

  • Whether contractual terms that affect the performance of the instrument relate solely to credit risk, other basic lending risks and profit margin.
  • For loans in special purpose entities, whether there is a non-recourse feature. The assessment is based on specific index thresholds as well as on the evaluation of the adequacy of equity and of the collaterals that are not related to the asset being financed.
  • Whether in case of prepayment or extension the compensation received is considered fair.
  • Whether in loans with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria, the change in credit spread based on the satisfaction of those ESG criteria relates to the change in credit risk and/or change in profit margin.

The application of different judgments could affect the amount of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Significant judgements relating to the selection of methodologies and models for expected credit losses calculation

The Group, in the context of the application of its accounting policies for the measurement of the expected credit losses makes judgments in order to identify:

  • the criteria that indicate a significant increase in credit risk,
  • the choice of appropriate methodologies for expected credit loss calculation (expected credit loss calculation on an individual or on a collective basis),
  • the choice and development of appropriate models used to calculate the exposure at default (EAD) by financial instrument category, the probability of default (PD), the estimated expected credit loss at the time of default (LGD), the probability of forbearance (PF) and the choice of appropriate parameters and economic forecasts used in them,
  • the choice of the parameters of the macroeconomic forecasts used in the models to determine the expected life and the date of initial recognition of revolving exposures,
  • the grouping of financial assets based on similar credit risk characteristics.

Applying different judgments could significantly affect the number of financial instruments classified in stage 2 or significantly differentiate expected credit loss.

Income Tax

The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and of the relevant results is carried out based on the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, it may be affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. When assessing the tax treatment of all significant transactions, the Group takes into account and evaluates all available data (Circulars of the Ministry of Finance, case law, administrative practices, etc.) and / or opinions received from internal and external legal advisers. Future tax audits and changes in tax legislation may result in the adjustment of the amount of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and in tax payments other than those recognized in the financial statements of the Group.

Classification of non-current assets held for sale (note 29)

The Group classifies non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, as held-for-sale when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable to be completed within one year. The assessment of whether the above criteria are met requires judgment mainly as to whether the sale is likely to be completed within one year from the reporting date. In the context of this assessment in which any previous experience from corresponding transactions is also considered, the Group takes into account the receipt of the required approvals (both regulatory and those given by the General Meeting and the Committees of the Group), the receipt of offers (binding or not) and the singing of agreements with investors as well as of any conditions included in them.

Assessment of control of special purpose entities

The Group in the context of its actions for liquidity and its strategies for management of loans proceeds with the securitization of assets through the establishment of special purpose entities whose activities are guided by contractual agreements. The Group makes judgments in order to assess whether it controls those companies taking into account the possibility to make decisions on their relative activities as well as the degree of its exposure to the variability of their returns.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Group in the context of applying its accounting principles and relating to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period that relate to the future are presented below. Final amounts in the next periods may be significantly different from those recognised in the financial statements.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

For assets and liabilities traded in active markets, the determination of their fair value is based on quoted, market prices. In all other cases the determination of fair value is based on valuation techniques that use observable market data to the greatest extent possible. In cases where there is no observable market data, the fair value is determined using data that are based on internal estimates and assumptions i.e. determination of expected cash flows, discount rates, prepayment probabilities or counterparty default.

Estimates included in the calculation of expected credit losses (notes 8, 26)

The measurement of expected credit losses requires the use of complex models and significant estimates of future economic conditions and credit behavior, taking into account the events that have occurred until reporting date. The significant estimates relate to:

  • the determination of the alternative macroeconomic scenarios and the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios,
  • the probability of default during a specific time period based on historical data, the assumptions and estimates for the future,
  • the probability of forbearance for retail portfolios,
  • the determination of the expected cash flows and the flows from the liquidation of collaterals for financial instruments,
  • the determination of the adjustments to the models for the calculation of the parameters of expected credit loss and
  • the integration of loan portfolio sales scenarios taking into account on the one hand any factors that may hinder the realization of the sale and on the other hand the level of satisfaction of the conditions for the completion of the sale.

Impairment losses on investments in associates and joint ventures and on non - financial assets (note 7)

The Group, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as its investments in associates and joint ventures and at least on an annual basis property, plant and equipment and investment property. Internal estimates are used to a significant degree to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, i.e. the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is noted that especially in cases where the sale of these items is imminent, the estimated price of the transaction based on the offers received for the perimeter of the items to be transferred is taken into account in the impairment exercise in conjunction with the decisions of the Management for the completion of the transaction.

Employee defined benefit obligations

Defined benefit obligations are estimated based on actuarial valuations, which are mainly conducted on an annual basis, that incorporate assumptions regarding discount rates, future changes in salaries and pensions, as well as the return on any plan assets. Any change in these assumptions will affect the amount of obligations recognized.

Provisions

The amounts recognized by the Group in its financial statements as provisions are derived from the best estimate of the possible outflow required to settle the present obligation. This estimate is determined by Management after taking into account experience from relevant transactions, the degree of complexity of each case, the actions taken to settle it and in some cases expert reports. In case the amount recognized as a provision is affected by a variety of factors, its calculation is based on the weighting of all possible results. At each balance sheet date, provisions are revised to reflect current best estimates of the obligation.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that it will have sufficient future taxable profit available, against which, deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized.

The change in the amount of deferred tax assets recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at 30.6.2022 compared to 31.12.2021 has not affected recoverability assessment. Therefore, what is stated in note 1.3 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2021 regarding the main categories of deferred tax assets recognized is also applicable to these financial statements. In addition, regarding the methodology applied for the recoverability assessment, what is stated in the aforementioned note of the annual financial statements is also applicable, taking also into consideration the elements that formed the result of the current period. In addition, it is noted that in the case of imminent transactions with third parties with a significant degree of complexity, the data included in the deferred tax assets recoverability exercise represent the best possible estimates of the Group, taking also into account the degree of implementation of each transaction. As the terms of the upcoming transactions become more specific, data are adjusted accordingly.

The estimates and judgments applied by the Group in making decisions and in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis in order to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any changes is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

During the first half of 2022, net interest income decreased compared to the corresponding period of 2021, mainly due to the derecognition of the loan portfolio of Galaxy, Cosmos and Orbit perimeter and the increased borrowing cost from the new bond issuances in 2021. Additionally, an income of € 31,568 was recognized from TLTRO III program related to the period from 24.6.2020 to 31.12.2020 and which is included in "Negative interest rates from interest bearing liabilities" of the first half of 2021. This income was recognized retrospectively since the Group achieved the target and was entitled to implement a lower interest rate. This decrease is partially offset within the first semester of 2022 by the increase from the income associated with new loan funding, purchase of securities (or bonds or fixed income securities), further repricing of customer deposits and the increase in loan balances through the TLTRO III program in the first half of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021, which are included in "Negative interest rates from interest bearing liabilities"

This impairment recognized on the basis of offers received in the context of the anticipated transaction for the establishment of a joint venture with an international investor, in line with the Banks' strategic plan. The above was partially offset by the gain of € 8,575 representing the reversal of accumulated impairments recognized for rights of use assets due to the change in leasing duration and subsequent revaluation of these assets.

In the corresponding period of 2021, "Losses from disposals/write-off/impairment on plant, property and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use assets" includes an amount of € 41,729 relating to the impairment loss on intangible assets that had been initially recognized for customer relationships upon the acquisition of credit card operations of Diners in 2015 and the deposit base of Citibank in 2014 as well as other software.

The following table presents the impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers, financial guarantee contracts, other assets, recoveries, commissions for credit protection as well as servicing fees of nonperforming loans as the Group considers that such presentation is more appropriate as it provides the information based on the nature of these expenses.

Considering the progress of the transactions relating to the sale of non-performing loans portfolios, included in the NPE Business Plan, as described in Note 29 "Assets Held for Sale", expected credit losses for the current period were estimated based on 100% sale scenario, for the below non- performing loan portfolios:

  • Non-performing corporate loans portfolio (project "Solar" and "Hermes")
  • Non-performing finance leases portfolio of Alpha Leasing S.A. (project "Leasing")
  • Non-performing shipping loans portfolio ("Shipping")
  • Non-performing retail loans portfolio ("Light")
  • For the first half of 2022 additional loss amounted at € 246 million.

On 30.6.2022, the Bank completed the second synthetic securitization transaction of performing small, medium and large corporates portfolio amounting to € 0.63 billion. With this transaction, the Bank is protected against junior tranche credit risk through a financial guarantee agreement with the European Investment Fund. For this guarantee, the Bank pays on a quarterly basis a commission on the junior tranche as adjusted for the repayments of the loans and the compensation payments. The above guarantee has been assessed as not being an integral part of the contractual terms of the securitized loans and is therefore not taken into account when calculating the expected credit losses of the said portfolio. The said claim for compensation is recognized when the realized income is virtually certain. Alongside the guarantee agreement, the European Investment Fund has entered into a counter-guarantee agreement with the European Investment Bank under which part of the Bank's procurement costs for the guarantee are covered by the European Investment Bank subject to the Bank will finance businesses within the framework of the Pan-European Guarantee Fund program within 24 months.

For the current period, total financial guarantee commission expense from the above described synthetic securitization transaction as well as the synthetic securitization completed in 2021, namely "Aurora" amounts to € 8.9 million. It is noted that the amount for the current period includes the costs of the Tokyo transaction completed on 29.06.22. Finally, it is noted that at the end of the period there was no reason to recognize claims for compensation.

Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 32.

9. Impairment losses and provision to cover credit risk on other financial instruments

From 1 January to From 1 April to
30.6.2022 30.6.2021 30.6.2022 30.6.2021
Impairment losses on debt securities and other securities measured at

Impairment losses on due from banks 515 681 (199) (79)
Total (5,782) 14,837 980 9,296

The reversal of the expected credit losses on debt securities and other securities measured at amortized cost during the first half of 2022 is mainly due to the upgrade of the credit rating of the Greek systemic banks by one grade from Moody's. The expected credit losses on debt securities during the first half of 2021 are mainly attributed to new placements in Greek Government bonds and to other Greek issuers within the portfolio of debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

10. Income tax

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of Alpha Bank S.A. held on 2.4.2021, approved the demerger of the Société anonyme with the corporate name "Alpha Bank Société Anonyme" ("Demerged Entity"), by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company – financial institution under the legal name "Alpha Bank Société Anonyme". Alpha Bank S.A. resulting from the demerger by the way of the hive-down of the banking business sector, started its operations on 16.4.2021, following the approval of the Ministry of Development and Investments. The first tax fiscal year for Alpha Bank S.A. is from 1.7.2020 to 31.12.2021.

The Demerged Entity changed its corporate name to "Alpha Services and Holding Société Anonyme" and became a listed holding company, and its business objective is the provision of the insurance agency services and accounting supporting services, and has retained the same GEMI and VAT numbers.

In accordance with article 120 of L.4799/2021 "Incorporation of Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards exempted entities, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, remuneration, supervisory measures and powers and capital conservation measures, incorporation of Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity of credit institutions and investment firms and Directive 98/26/EC(L160), through the amendment of article 2 of L.4335/2015, and other urgent provisions", the income tax rate for legal entities is reduced to 22% for the income of tax year 2021 and afterwards. By explicit reference of the law, this decrease does not apply to the financial institutions for which the income tax rate remains at 29%.

For the Bank' subsidiaries and branches operating in other countries, the applicable nominal tax rates for the year 2022 are as follows, with no changes compared to the tax rates of year 2021:

Cyprus 12.5 Albania 15
Bulgaria 10 Jersey 10
Serbia 15 United Kingdom 19
Romania 16 Ireland 12.5

Pursuant to article 24 par.8 of Law 4172/2013, the new company- financial institution - Alpha Bank Société Anonyme, made use of the beneficial provisions of the law and postponed the tax depreciation of its assets, during the first three fiscal years. Based on the Circular 1073/31.3.2015 of the ministry of finance, the deferral of tax depreciation does not include the depreciation of the of article 27 par. 2 of Law 4172/2013 (loss from the exchange of Greek government bonds) and the debt difference of article 27 par.3 of Law 4172/2013 (loss from final write offs or transfer of bad debts).

In accordance with article 125 of L.4831 / 2021 "Legal Council of the State (NSK) and situation of its officials and employees and other provisions", article 27 of L.4172 / 2013 was amended. Pursuant to the new provisions, the debit difference from the exchange of Greek government bonds or corporate bonds guaranteed by the Greek State, in application of a participation program in the redistribution of Greek debt (of par. 2 of article 27 of law 4172/2013), is deducted as a priority before the debit difference due to credit risk of law 4465/2017 (par. 3 of article 27 of law 4172/2013). The amount of the annual debit difference from credit risk deduction is limited to the amount of gains as determined under tax law, before the deduction of these debt differences and after the deduction of the debit difference resulting from the PSI bond exchange. The remaining amount of the annual deduction that has not been offset is carried forward for deduction in subsequent tax years within the twenty-year period, in which the remaining profits will remain after the annual deduction of the debit differences corresponding to those years. The order of deduction of the transferred amounts is preceded by the older debit difference balances to the most recent ones. If at the end of the twenty-year amortization period there are balances that have not been offset, these are losses subject to the five-year expiration rule.

It is noted that the above provision does not affect the depreciation rate of the deferred tax asset (DTA) used for regulatory purpose, neither retrospectively nor in the future, ie DTA will continue to be depreciated on a straight line basis (1/20 per year), for both previous, as well as for future sales of non-performing loans.

Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 32.

The above provisions are in effect from 1.1.2021 and relate to the debit differences of par. 3 that have been raised from 1.1.2016. Within the context of the above article, the Group recognized as at 30.6.2022 a deferred tax asset deriving from the unamortised balance of debit difference of € 49.8 million.

As of 30.6.2022, the amount of deferred tax asset that falls within the scope of Law 4465/2017 and includes the amount of the debt difference of Law 4046/2012 (PSI), amounts to € 2,816 million (31.12.2021: € 2,891 million).

Article 82 of Law 4472/19.5.2017 "Pension provisions of the State and amendment of provisions of Law 4387/2016, measures for the implementation of fiscal objectives and reforms, measures for social support and employment regulations, Medium-Term Framework of the Fiscal Strategy 2018-2021 and others provisions" provides for the obligation of credit institutions and other companies that fall under the provisions of article 27A of Law 4172/2013) to pay an annual fee of 1.5% for the amount of the tax claim guaranteed by the Greek State arising from the difference between the current income tax rate (currently 29%) and the tax rate that was effective on 31.12.2014 (26%). The amount of the commission for the first half of 2022 amounts to € 2,470 (note 6).

It is noted that in January 2022, 1,430,168 option rights were exercised which resulted in the issuance of 1,430,168 ordinary, registered, voting shares with nominal value of € 0.30 each. The share capital of the Company increased by € 429, and the share premium increased by € 1,042.

b. Diluted

Diluted earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period with the dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company holds shares of this category, arising from a plan of awarding stock option rights to employees of the Company and other Group entities.

For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that the option rights are exercised and that the related hypothetical inflows derive from the issuance of ordinary shares at the average market price of the year during which the options were outstanding. The difference between the number of options to be granted and the ordinary shares issued at the average market price for ordinary shares, is treated as issuance of ordinary shares without exchange.

In "Advances to customers measured at amortized cost" the Group has also recognized the senior notes held by the Bank, of Galaxy and Cosmos transactions completed in 2021, in the context of non-performing loans reduction. It is noted that as a result of Galaxy transaction, as detailed disclosed in the Financial Statements as of 31.12.2021, the Group recognized a loss of € 2,238,989, included in "Gains/(losses) on derecognition of financial assets measured at amortised cost" of the corresponding period.

In the context of the reassessment of the hold to collect business model of loans and advances to customers, past sales are taken into account.

Considering that:

  • the majority of the Group's sales are in accordance with the Group's business model as they concern sales of non-performing loans due to the credit rating deterioration of the debtor and
  • individual sales of loans are not considered material both individually and in aggregate,

the Group has assessed that the "hold to collect" business model is not affected.

  • The significant change in the Bank's capital base as a result of management actions to reduce non-performing exposures,
  • The supervisory expectations, as they are reflected in the Supervisory Evaluation (SREP) from 2019 onwards, regarding the business models which could have an impact on the supervisory funds and the Capital Adequacy Ratio of the Bank,
  • The introduction of the binding target for eligible liabilities (MREL) from 1.1.2022 with which the Bank must comply and the minimum Capital Adequacy from 1.1.2023 and the need for the Bank to comply with the supervisory limits of the Pillar II Directive ( P2G) on a permanent basis from 1.1.2023,

the Bank's Executive Committee took the decision to minimize the exposure in securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income to cover the bank's financial products management sector, and subsequently the Asset Liability Management Committee decided to reclassify bonds from the portfolio of securities valued at fair value through other results that are recorded directly in equity in the category held for the purpose of collecting principal and interest, which is also in line with the Bank's Strategic Plan.

The above decision was assessed as meeting the criteria of changing the business model in accordance with the provisions of the IFRS 9 and therefore from 1.1.2022 the relevant investment portfolio with a fair value of € 4.16 billion was reclassified to the portfolio of investment securities valued at amortized cost adjusted by the amount of cumulative profits before tax of € 6.98 million that had been recognized in equity.

On 30.6.2022 the fair value of the reclassified portfolio amounted to € 3,594 million, while the portfolio valuation reserve of the securities valued at fair value through other results would have been adjusted with a loss of € 251 million after tax from 1.1.2022 if the reclassification had not taken place.

The above decision was assessed as meeting the criteria of changing the business model in accordance with the provisions of the IFRS 9 and therefore from 1.4.2022 the relevant investment portfolio with a fair value of € 291 million was reclassified to the portfolio of investment securities valued at amortized cost adjusted by the amount of cumulative losses of € 5.3 million that had been recognized in the net position.

On 30.6.2022 the fair value of the reclassified portfolio amounted to € 269 million, while the portfolio valuation reserve of the securities valued at fair value through other results would have been adjusted with a loss of € 10 million from 1.4.2022 if the reclassification had not taken place.

a. Share Capital

The Company's share capital on 30.6.2022 amounts to € 704,223 (31.12.2021: € 703,794) divided into 2,347,411,265 (31.12.2021: 2,345,981,097) ordinary, registered shares with voting rights with a nominal value of € 0.30 each.

In the context of Stock Options Plan through which stock options could be granted to key management personnel of the Company and the Group, in January 2022, 1,430,168 options rights vested and exercised from the beneficiaries, in accordance with Performance Incentive Program for the years of 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Furthermore, the General Meeting approved the netting off an amount of € 6,228,891 with the Statutory Reserve of € 420,425 and Special Reserve of art.31 of Greek Law 4548/2018 of € 5,808,466. The purpose for the netting off was:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

21. Contingent liabilities and commitments

a. Legal issues

There are certain legal claims against the Group, deriving from the ordinary course of business. In the context of managing the operational risk events and based on the applied accounting policies, the Group has established internal controls and processes to monitor all legal claims and similar actions by third parties in order to assess the probability of a negative outcome and the potential loss.

For those cases where there is a significant probability of a negative outcome, and their result can be reliably estimated, the Group recognizes a provision that is included in the Balance Sheet item "Provisions". On 30.6.2022 the amount of the provision stood at 43,025(31.12.2021: € 34,439).

For those cases, that according to their progress and the assessment of the legal department as at 30.6.2022, a negative outcome is not probable or the potential outflow cannot be estimated reliably due to the complexity and the long duration of the cases, the Group has not recognized a provision. As of 30.6.2022 the pending legal claims against the Group for which the negative outcome is contingent or it is not possible to assess the possible damage at this stage amount to € 261,811(31.12.2021: € 242,417) and € 486,825 (31.12.2021: € 586,541), respectively.

According to the legal department's assessment, the ultimate settlement of the legal claims and lawsuits is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or the operations of the Group.

24. Exposure in credit risk from debt securities issued by the Greek State

The following table presents the Group's total exposure in debt securities issed by Greek State:

Total 5,702,828 5,949,412 5,273,557 5,941,174

Fluctuations in the amount of investments securities are due to the decision taken by the Executive Committee of the Bank in December 2021 to change its business model with effective day 1.1.2022. According to this decision, securities that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are those that are considered absolutely necessary to cover financial products' management, while the use of investments in long-term securities is mainly intended to collect interest income (Note 15).

All securities issued by Greek State are classified in level 1 and in level 2 based on the quality of inputs used for the estimation of their fair value.

The Group's exposure to Greek State from other financial instruments, excluding debt securities, is depicted in the table below:

On Balance Sheet exposure

Derivative financial instruments-assets 136,351 501,852
Derivative financial instruments-liabilities (385,859) (2,387)

The Group's exposure in loans to public sector entities/organizations as at 30.6.2022 amounted to € 30,970 (31.12.2021: € 34,865). The Group has recognized an accumulated allowance for expected credit losses for these loans amounting to € 694 as at 30.6.2022 (31.12.2021: € 554). In addition, balance of the Group's loans guaranteed by the Greek State as at 30.6.2022 amounted to € 6,932,050 (31.12.2021: € 7,191,890). As at 30.6.2022 for these loans the Group had recognized an accumulated allowance for expected credit losses of € 39,416 (31.12.2021: € 70,265). It is noted that the carrying amount of loans with guarantee by the Covid-19 Guarantee Fund of the Hellenic Development Bank amounted to € 1,153,530 as at 30.6.2022 (31.12.2021: € 1,259,451).

The above table sets out the fair values and carrying amounts of those financial assets measured at amortised cost.

The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is estimated using the discounted cash flow models for the discounting of the contractual cash flows to maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium and the expected loss rate. In specific, for those loans that for credit risk purposes are classified as impaired and are individually assessed for impairment, the model uses the expected future cash flows excluding expected credit losses. For the fair value measurement of the impaired loans which are collectively assessed for impairment, estimates are made for principal repayment after taking into account the allowance for expected credit losses. The interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium serve as the discount rate for the impaired loans, liquidity premium, operational cost and capital requirement. The fair value of securities classified as loans and advances to customers at amortised cost, is calculated based on the discounted model of future cash flows until maturity, taking into account their credit risk.

The fair value of loans valued at amortized cost on 30.6.2022 has been mainly affected by the increase in market interest rates.

The fair value of deposits is estimated based on the interbank market yield curve, operational cost and the liquidity premium until their maturity.

The fair value of debt securities and bonds is calculated on the basis of market prices, provided that the market is active and the absence of active market, the cash flow discount method is applied where all significant variables are based on either observable data or a combination of observable and non-observable market data. The fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost does not differ materially from their carrying amount.

The above tables present the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the significance of data that has been used for their hierarchy level.

Securities which are traded in an active market and exchange-traded derivatives are classified as Level 1.

The securities whose fair value is calculated based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or on the application of the income approach methodology using interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market, are classified as Level 2.

In Level 3 are classified securities whose fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

Relating to impact of Covid-19, it is noted that as at 30.6.2022 the Group, following the relevant measures taken by the Central Banks and the member states as well as the subsequent normalization of the financial and capital markets, did not consider necessary to change fair value methodology for securities and derivatives. Also, no change in the fair value methodology was required as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Valuation methodology for securities is subject to approval by the Asset Liability Management Committee. It is noted that, especially for securities measured at market values, bid prices are taken into consideration and their valuation variances are reviewed daily.

The fair value of loans measured at fair value through profit or loss, is estimated based on the valuation methodology as described above regarding the disclosure of fair value estimation for loans measured at amortized cost. As the data used to calculate the fair value refers to unobservable data, the loans are classified as Level 3.

Shares whose fair value is determined based on external data are classified as Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the extent of the contribution of unobservable data to the calculation of the final fair value.

The fair value of non-listed shares, as well as of those shares not traded in an active market is determined either based on the Group's share on the issuer's equity or by the multiples valuation method or based on projections made by the Group regarding the future profitability of the issuer considering the expected growth rate of its operations, as well as the weighted average rate of capital return which is used as discount rate.

For the valuation of over the counter derivatives income approach methodologies are used: discounted cash flow models, optionpricing models or other widely accepted financial valuation models.

The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives is subject to approval by the Asset Liability Management Committee. Mid prices are used since both long and short positions may be open. Valuation results are reviewed on a daily basis against the respective prices of the counterparty banks or clearence houses as part of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non-observable inputs for the determination of fair value are significant, the financial instruments are classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.

In addition, the Group calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to consider, the counterparty credit risk for the OTC

derivatives. In particular, taking into consideration its own credit risk, the Group calculates the bilateral credit valuation adjustment (Bilateral CVA/BCVA) for the OTC derivatives held on a counterparty level according to the netting and collateral agreements in force. BCVA is calculated across all counterparties with a material effect on the respective derivative fair values taking into consideration the probability of default of both the counterparty and the Group, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of the Group as well as the specific characteristics of the netting and collateral agreements in force.

Collaterals are simulated along with the derivative portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. Calculations performed depend largely on observable market data. Market quoted counterparty and Bank's CDS spreads are used in order to derive the respective probability of default, a market standard recovery rate is assumed for developed market counterparties, correlations between market data are taken into account and subsequently a series of simulations is performed to model the portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. In the absence of observable market data, the counterparty probability of default and loss given default are determined using the Group's internal models for credit rating and collateral valuation. BCVA model is validated from an independent division of the Group.

A breakdown of BCVA per counterparty sector and credit quality, as defined for the presentation purposes of the table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage" is provided below:

In connection with the measurement of earn-outs consideration (from buyer to the Bank, in the context of the sale of 80% of the shares of the former subsidiary Cepal), related to the estimated gain before depreciation, tax and interest (EBITDA) of Cepal Holdings for the next six years' period, the Company considered the base line scenario of its business plan. According to this scenario (which is in line with the valuation of 20% of the Bank's investment to Cepal Holdings), fair value of this earn out consideration is zero.

The Group reassess on an instrument by instrument basis the hierarchy at each reporting period and when necessary proceeds to transfers among levels depending on the available data at the end of each reporting period.

Within the current period, an amount of € 16,177 of corporate bonds was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2, due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

During the previous period, an amount of € 51,864 of corporate bonds of Greek issuers were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1, due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

b. Loans to customers measured at amortised cost

For credit risk disclosure purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost includes also the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their acquisition or origination (POCI) since the Group, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the allowance. These loans were recognized either in the context of acquisition of specific loans or companies (i.e. Emporiki Bank and Citibank's retail operations in Greece), or as a result of significant modification of the terms of the previous loan resulted to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has also been made at the carrying amount of loans before allowance for expected credit losses.

It is noted that the credit risk tables do not include the outstanding balances and allowance for expected credit losses of loans that have been classified as assets held for sale.

The following table below presents loans and finance leasing measured at amortized cost by IFRS 9 stage.

The total amount of provisions for credit risk that the Group has recognized and derives from contracts with customers stands at € 1,277,419 as at 30.6.2022 (31.12.2021: € 2,255,977), taking into consideration the allowance for expected credit losses on loans measured at amortised cost of € 1,191,461 (31.12.2021: € 2,163,306), the allowance for expected credit losses for the undrawn loan commitments, letters of credit and letters of guarantee of amount € 44,357 (31.12.2021: € 42,684) and the allowance for expected credit losses on advances to customers of amount € 41,601 (31.12.2021: € 49,987).

As the Russia/Ukraine conflict is ongoing, it is noted that any ongoing impact assessment is preliminary and includes a significant degree of expert judgement. However, the Group is closely monitoring the ongoing crisis and assessing its impact on its business, financial position and profitability. Once the situation is clearer both at the macroeconomic level and in the

possible channels for transmitting the consequences of the conflict to the balance sheet of the Bank and its subsidiaries, the Group may make appropriate adjustments to its strategy, business plan and financing plan as appropriate; while it may also consider additional exposure reduction measures beyond those to be analysed below, if necessary.

The Group has examined a double outcome/impact of the ongoing conflict and has identified appropriate actions to limit exposure in order to respond in a timely manner to demanding geopolitical developments:

  • First-order impact: The Bank has carried out the following actions in order to calculate the first-order impact of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict:
    • Examination of exposure to companies and individuals from Russia and Ukraine. The exposure is immaterial.
    • Examination of capital transfers to and from Russia and Ukraine, from business units. For the time being, the operating cash flow of the Bank's clientele does not appear to be affected.
  • Second order impact: After the first-order impact, an assessment of the second-order impact was made:
    • In an effort to identify the sectors affected, an initial assessment was made, based on an expert judgement, taking into account (a) the cost of raw materials, (b) the cost of production, (c) the cost of transport and (d) the possibility of passing on the increase in costs to the final consumer.
    • Impact on credit risk parameters: In 2022, real GDP is expected to grow by 3.2%, according to the Monetary Policy Report of the Bank of Greece (June 2022). In addition, European Commission estimates an increase by 4% for 2022 (European Economic Forecast Summer 2022), supported mainly by (i) the expected recovery in tourism, (ii) the investment injection from UDFs capital accompanied by a credible government plan and (iii) employment gains. The projected baseline scenario is subject to the economic downturn resulting from the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions, mitigating the initially expected growth momentum (close to 5%, according to the Interim Monetary Policy Report of the Bank of Greece (December 2021). According to the pessimistic scenario of the BoG, recovery of Greece might be further slowed down should the war conflict is prolonged in 2023, gas and oil imports form Russia are interrupted and the substitution of the required sources of energy from other suppliers is not feasible Monetary Policy Report of the Bank of Greece (June 2022). In 2022, the harmonized inflation is expected to be set at 8.9% (European Economic Forecast Summer 2022) and at 7.6% according to Monetary Policy Report of the Bank of Greece (June 2022), assuming a pick in the middle of the year, considering that the inflation rate has an increased trend from summer 2022 and there will be no further interruption in the supply of gas to the European Union.
    • Adaptation to the policy and procedures for granting credits: Special instructions were given to the Operational and Credit Units.
    • Rating: Credit assessment process with indications of default (UTP), rating downgrades, Stage 2 triggers, calculation of impairments of exposures classified in Stage 3 based on an individual rating (Stage 3 Individual impairment). It is noted that the Group has established and implements a credit rating process with indications of default to assess their viability and long-term repayment capacity. The process of borrowers' assessment with indications of default takes place during the periodic review of the existing credit limits, upon request for a new loan, following extraordinary requests, after notification of the Wholesale Banking Credit Board or during the examination of a request for loan adjustment and the corresponding implementation status for Retail Banking. The process of assessing Borrowers with UTP indications combination with the existing Early Warning Mechanism of Credit Risk, ensure the timely recognition by the Group of the events, at borrower level (businesses and individuals) and portfolio level, as well as the relevant management's actions to be taken for these specific borrowers.

As of 30.6.2022, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict derives mainly from the update of the macroeconomic outlook and amounts to € 28 million at Group level.

The Group calculates allowance for expected credit losses based on the weighted probability of three alternative scenarios. More specifically, the Group produces forecasts for the possible evolution of macroeconomic variables that affect the level of allowance for expected credit losses of loan portfolios under a baseline and under two alternative macroeconomic scenarios (an upside and a downside one) and also produces the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios.

The macroeconomic variables affecting the level of expected credit losses are the Gross Domestic product (hereinafter "GDP"), the unemployment rate and forward-looking prices of residential and commercial real estates.

Specifically in Greece, the macroeconomic variables per year for the period 2022-2025, which affect both the estimation of the probability of default and the estimation of the expected Loss in case of default when calculating the expected credit loss are the following:

Downside scenario 2022 2023 2024 2025

The production of baseline scenario, supported by a consistent economic description, constitutes the most likely scenario according to the current economic conditions and the Group's basic assessment of the course of the economy. The cumulative probabilities of the macroeconomic scenarios for the Greek economy indicate that the economy performs better or worse than forecasts of the baseline scenario and the alternative scenarios, i.e. the upside and downside scenario. For each one of the alternative scenarios, the allowance for expected credit losses is calculated and weighted against the probability of each scenario in order to calculate the weighted expected credit loss. The cumulative probability assigned to the baseline scenario remained 60%, while cumulative probability assigned to the downside and upside scenario remained 20% for each of the scenario.

As at 30.6.2022 the ECL figure included management overlays with additional cost of risk at € 66 million in the output of the ECL for specific non performing retail and wholesale loan portfolios, in order to accelerate the curring process of a specific portfolio. The overlays were approved by the relevant management committees of the Bank. Considering that the aim of overlays is to include potential events that cannot be captured by the existing models, any decision whether these adjustments should be factored in the model is examined during the regular update of the model.

27. Capital adequacy

The policy of the Group is to maintain strong capital ratios and buffers above the regulatory minimum requirements in order to ensure the delivery of its business strategy and the trust of depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners.

Share capital increases are conducted following resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders or the Board of Directors, in accordance with articles of incorporation or the relevant laws.

According to the Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) which has been signed between the Bank and the HFSF, as long as the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) participates in the Share Capital of the Bank, the purchase of own shares is not allowed without its approval.

The capital adequacy ratio compares the Group's regulatory capital with the risks that it undertakes (Risk Weighted Assets - RWAs). Regulatory capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital (share capital, reserves, minority interests), additional Tier 1 capital (hybrid securities) and Tier 2 capital (subordinated debt). RWAs include the credit risk of the investment portfolio (including counterparty risk and credit valuation adjustment), the market risk of the trading book and the operational risk.

Alpha Bank S.A., as a systemic bank, and consequently its parent company Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., is supervised by the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank (ECB) and provides reports on a quarterly base. The supervision is conducted in accordance with the European Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) as amended, inter alia, by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council ("CRR 2"), and the relevant European Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV), as incorporated into the Greek Law 4261/2014, and was amended, inter alia, by Directive 2019/878 (CRD V) and incorporated into the national law by Law 4799/2021.

For the calculation of capital adequacy ratio the provisions of the aforementioned regulatory framework are followed. In addition:

  • Besides the 8% capital adequacy limit, limits of 4.5% for CET 1 ratio and 6% for Tier 1 ratio are applied
  • Capital buffers over and above the CET1 capital limits are required to be maintained. In particular:
    • Capital conservation buffer stands at 2.5%.
    • Capital buffers as provided by the Bank of Greece through its Executive Committee Acts as follows:
      • countercyclical capital buffer, equal to "zero percent" (0%) for both first and second quarter of 2022
      • other systemically important institutions (O-SII) buffer, which will gradually rise to "one percent" (1%) from 1.1.2019 to 1.1.2023. For 2022, the O-SII buffer stands at 0.75%.

These limits should be met on a consolidated basis.

The following table presents the capital adequacy ratios of the Group:

30.6.2022* 31.12.2021
Common Equity Tier I Ratio 12.4% 13.2%
Tier I Ratio 12.4% 13.2%
Total Capital Adequacy Ratio** 15.1% 16.1%

On 2 February 2022, the ECB informed Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. that from March 2022 the minimum limit of the consolidated Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) is increased to 14.25%. The OCR consists of the minimum threshold of the Total Equity Ratio (8%), in accordance with Article 92 (1) of the CRR, the additional supervisory requirements for Pillar II (P2R) in accordance with Article 16 (2) (a) of Regulation 1024/2013 / EU, which amount to 3.0%, as well as the combined security requirements (CBR), in accordance with Article 128 (6) of Directive 2013/36 / EU, which amount to 3.25%. The minimum rate should be kept on on going basis, considering the CRR / CRD IV Transitional Provisions.

Measures taken to strengthen banks regulatory capital to tackle Covid-19 pandemic

In the light of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, European Central Bank (ECB), European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Commission (EC), announced a series of measures in order to ensure that the supervised banks will be able to continue financing the economy.

* The above mentioned ratios includes the profit for the current period.

** Supervisory disclosures regarding capital adequacy and risk management in accordance with Regulation 575/2013 (Pillar III) will be published on the Bank's website.

Specifically, on 12 March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced the following relaxation measures for the minimum capital requirements for Banks in the Eurozone:

  • Banks are temporarily allowed to operate below the level of capital defined by the Capital Conservation Buffer and the Countercyclical Buffer. In addition, on 28 July 2020, the ECB announced through a press release that financial institutions are allowed to operate below the thresholds at least up to the end of 2022.
  • Furthermore, the upcoming change that was expected in January 2021 under CRD V regarding the P2R buffer, was applied earlier, allowing the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) to be covered by Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital by 18.75% and Tier 2 (T2) capital by 25% and not only by CET 1.

The European Commission decided to revise the existing regulatory framework by bringing forward regulations that would normally come in effect with the CRR2/CRDV framework as well as to mitigate the Covid-19 impact on economy and encourage banks to grant new loans. As a result, in 22 June 2020 the EU published the Regulation (EU) 2020/873 in its Official Journal, which included amendments in relation to capital requirements set by 575/2013 and 876/2019. The revised regulation includes inter alia, articles 468 and 473a which introduce new provisions aiming to :

  • Mitigate the negative impact on the regulatory capital of the Bank from the increase in the expected credit loss as a result from the Covid-19 pandemic. This article extents to another two-year period the ability to add-back to the regulatory capital the expected credit losses recognized in 2020 and afterwards relating to performing financial instruments. This transition period is effective until the end of 2024.
  • Introduce a temporary prudential filter to neutralize debt market volatility deriving from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The filter is effective from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. As a result of the application of the filter, Banking Institutions will be able to add -back a percentage of the unrealized gains and losses in the sovereign debt securities placements that affected CET1. For 2022 the applied percentage is 40%.

The Group decided to implement articles art 468 and 473a of the Regulation (EU) 2020/873.

Finally, on 22 December 2020, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176 of 12 November 2020 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The regulation includes certain provisions for the deduction of software category from CET1.

EBA Transparency Exercise

On 22 April 2022, EBA announced the launch of prudential Transparency Exercise at European level for 2022.

The aim of the exercise is to provide additional information for exposure and exposures and the quality of the data of the banks. The exercise includes data as provided by the banks through the FINREP / COREP reporting for the periods:

  • Q3 2021
  • Q4 2021
  • Q1 2022 and
  • Q2 2022

The Bank will participate in the exercise starting in September 2022 and the results will be published in early December 2022.

Minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)

On 23 March 2022, Alpha Bank S.A., received a communication letter from the European Single Resolution Board including its decision for the minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL). The requirements are based on the Recovery and Resolution Directive ("BRRD2"), which was incorporated into the Greek Law 4799/2021 on 18.5.2021. At the same time, by the same decision, the Resolution Authority defined the single point of entry (SPE) resolution strategy. According to the decision, from 1 January 2026 Alpha Bank S.A. is required to meet, on a consolidated basis, minimum MREL of 23.37% of the risk-weighted assets and 5.91% of the Leverage ratio. The letter also sets out the intermediate MREL to be met from 1 January 2022, i.e. 14.02% of the risk-weighted assets and 5.91% of the leverage ratio. The MREL ratio, expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, does not include the Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR), which currently stands at 3.25%. Furthermore, The Resolution Authority has decided that Alpha Bank S.A. is not subject to requirement for subordinated MREL.

Minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), including the transition compliance period, are in line with the expectations of Alpha Bank S.A. The long-term financing plan of Alpha Bank S.A. envisages further strengthening of MREL, so that these requirements can be met when they enter into force. As of 30 June 2022, the Bank's MREL ratio on a consolidated basis was 17.5% (including profit for the period ended 30 June 2022). The final MREL ratio minimum requirements is updated annually by the SRB.

Associate held for sale

On 10.11.2021 the Bank and Nexi S.p.A. entered a binding agreement for the establishment of a strategic partnership in respect of the Bank's merchant acquiring business unit in Greece, through:

  • The curve-out of Alpha Bank's merchant acquiring business unit, pursuant to a Greek statutory spin-off process, into the newly formed entity "Alpha Payment Services S.A.", established on 15.11.2021
  • The sale of a 51% stake of this entity to Nexi S.p.A subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent and
  • entering into a long-term distribution agreement, providing Alpha Payment Services S.A. with access to Alpha Bank's Network in order to distribute payment acceptance products and services to business Customers of Alpha Bank in Greece.

Based on the above, as of 31.12.2021 assets and liabilities of the merchant acquiring business in Greece of the Bank classified as "Assets held for sale" since the criteria set by IFRS 5 were met. Since, on that date, the carrying amount of the business was lower than its fair value less cost to sell the classification did not result to any gain or loss.

On 30.6.2022 the curve-out of the Bank's business unit to its subsidiary "Alpha Payment Services S.A" was completed. The later issued shares and same day the Bank sold the 51% of its stake to its subsidiary, which renamed to "Nexi Payments Greece S.A.", Following the sale of 51% of its stake to "Alpha Payment Services S.A", the Group loss control and the remaining stake of 49% was reclassified to investments in associates.

The gain of € 300,903 from the above transaction is recognized under "Gains less losses on financial transactions" line of the financial statements and derived from the comparison between: a) the sale price (which consists of the amount paid in cash and the fair value of the contingent consideration (earn-outs) to be paid should in case "Nexi Payments Greece S.A." achieves specific performance) and the fair value on the participation of 49% participation on Alpha Payment Services and b) the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Alpha Payment Services on which the control by the Group ceases, the provision for future payments recognized based on the terms of the agreement and the transaction expenses.

It is noted that alongside with the above agreement, on 30.6.2022 the parties agreed Nexi S.p.A. to purchase an additional 39.01% of "Nexi Payments Hellas S.A.", subject to the receipt of the relevant approvals.

The relevant agreement which was signed and implemented on 29.7.2022 provides for the sale of an additional percentage of 39.01% as well as the right of the Bank to repurchase on the fourth anniversary of the completion of the transaction part of the company stake held by Nexi S.p.A.

Considering the above agreement the 39.01% of the participation in "Nexi Payments Greece S.A." was reclassified on 30.6.2022 to held for sale. The investment in "Nexi Payments Greece S.A." is included in the "Other / Elimination Center" segmental reporting.

AGI-BRE Participations 4 EOOD - AGI-BRE Participations 2 BG EOOD

During 2022, the Group commenced the process for the sale of subsidiaries AGI-BRE PARTICIPATIONS 4 EOOD and AGI-BRE PARTICIPATIONS 2BG EOOD, for which binding sale agreements have been received on 9.5.2022.

According to IFRS 5, these companies were classified as held for sale as of 30.6.2022. The Group measured the assets and liabilities of these subsidiary companies at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. There was no result from this valuation.

As these group companies did not substitute a separate significant operating segment, the classification criteria as discontinued operations are not met, while they are included in the segment of Southeastern Europe.

Total Assets and Total Liabilities of Alpha Bank Group are lower than Total Assets and Total Liabilities of Alpha Services and Holdings Group, by € 823 million and € 639 million, respectively. As a result, Total Equity of the Alpha Bank Group, amounting to € 5,976 million, is lower than the Total Equity of Alpha Services and Holdings Group, by € 184 million. The variance is attributed to the balances of the companies that are not consolidated at Alpha Bank Group level and to the intercompany balances of the assets and liabilities of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries with the Alpha Bank Group.

Profit after income tax of Alpha Bank Group for the first half of 2022, amounted to € 189 million and is lower by € 54 million compared to Profit after income of Alpha Services Group and Holdings S.A., mainly due to the result of the companies that are not consolidated at Alpha Bank Group level and to the intercompany income and expenses of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries with the Alpha Bank Group.

32. Restatement of financial statements

Alpha Bank Albania constitutes for the Group a discontinued operation, as described in detail in note 33. Accordingly, the presentation of the results related to the items sold has changed to be presented cumulatively as results from discontinued operations in a separate line in Statement of Profit and Loss and in the Statement of Total Comprehensive Income and accordingly the comparative period has been restated.

In addition, the Group acquired the control of Acarta Construct Srl and acquired the 100% of its share capital on 15.12.2020 for a consideration of € 0.2 and with an additional consideration of € 1 for the assignment of the right to collect a loan obligation of the company to a subsidiary of the same group to which Acarta Construct Srl belonged, amounting to € 68,260. In December 2021, the temporary values of the assets and liabilities acquired by the Group were finalized and a change in the amount of goodwill occurred due to changes in the fair values of certain assets and liabilities of the company and therefore the comparative period in the Income Statement have been restated.

Finally, as a result of the transfer to Cepal of the unit that manages the non-performing loan portfolio and the sale of 80% of Cepal's shares within the second quarter of 2021 Group has chosen to present the servicing fees of the loans in question which derive from the respective loan service agreement with Cepal in the line "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". With this presentation, it is considered that the nature of the expenses in question is more correctly depicted, taking into account the new management model of loans in arrears, as the impairment losses of the loans in question appear on the same line, as well as the impact from the change in their contractual terms.

As a result of the above changes, certain items of the Income Statement and Statement of Total Comprehensive Income of the previous year were restated, as it can be seen in the following tables.

For a better presentation, the Group reclassified an amount of € 6,104,890 from caption "Share Premium" which now appears separately in caption "Special reserve from Share Capital Decrease". This reclassification was applied retrospectively. However, considering that the total equity of the Group remains unchanged and the reclassification was done for the purpose of better analysis of the Balance Sheet items, it was not considered necessary to present a restated balance sheet at the beginning of the comparative period.

34. Strategic Plan

The Bank's Updated Strategic Business Plan includes a series of strategic initiatives which is expected to affect the financial results of the Group until 2024 aiming to achieve specific financial targets. These initiatives and their evolution as of 30.6.2022 are detailed below:

  • a. Increase in income based on the increase of assets deriving mainly from the expected recovery of the Greek economy and the funds of the European Union RRF mechanism, boosting in such a way both the net interest income from performing loans as well as the commission income of the Bank.
  • b. Targeted reduction of non-performing exposures, which includes a series of non-performing transactions (NPEs) in connection with:
    • i. sale of small medium sized corporate loans portfolio of the total four systemic banks, to which our contribution amounts to € 0.4 billion (expected to be completed in the beginning of 2023),
    • ii. other sales transactions out of which transactions in Greece with a total carrying amount of € 2.6 billion (out of which have € 1.2 billion competed in the first quarter of 2022) and
    • iii. transaction on Cyprus of with carrying amount of € 2.3 billion, which is estimated to be concluded in 2022.

These transactions were designed along with the transactions already concluded during the previous years for the purpose of decreasing Group's non performing exposure by € 19.4 billion during the period 2020-2024 and allows the Bank to reach a single digit NPE ratio to approximately 8.2% in the first half of 2022, targeting also to a 3% NPE ratio by the end of 2024. The loan portfolios related to the above non performing transactions which have not yet been completed, have been classified as held for sale on 30.6.2022 (note 29).

c. A series of capital measures to support the NPE clearance providing further capital buffers. These measures include the spin-off of the Bank's Merchant Acquiring Business to a new subsidiary, the sale of 90% to a strategic investor for the establishment of a strategic partnership (completed in the second quarter of 2022), the sale of Alpha Bank Albania (completion in the third quarter of 2022), establishment of a new joint venture with an international partner in real estate market and an additional synthetic securitization (completion in the third quarter of 2022). The first transaction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021). The successful completion of the above capital enhancing measures, ensures the Bank will maintain its satisfactory capital adequacy above the required minimum levels.

The 39% of the participation in the company Nexi Payments Greece S.A. as well as Alpha Bank Albania, have been classified as held for sale on 30.6.2022 (note 29), while the properties linked to the creation of a joint venture with an international partner have not been classified as held for sale, since the evaluation of the of binding offers is in progress and no preferred investor had been selected since 30.6.2022.

  • d. Measures for the rationalization of the operating expenses and the improvement of efficiency of the operations, focusing on the main banking operations, decreasing operating costs across the organization, improving and enhancing the digital platform and applying holistic policies for sustainable banking with the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
  • e. Initiatives for the increase commission income, mainly through wealth management and bancassurance products.
  • f. Initiatives to develop the international presence, especially in Romania.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

GENERAL INFORMATION

On April 16, 2021, the Hive – down was completed with the spin-off of the banking activity of Alpha Bank ("Demerged") and its contribution to a new banking company, which was registered in the General Commercial Register (G.E.M.I.) on the same day with the distinctive title of "Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme" ("Beneficiary"). In particular, Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme substituted as universal successor in the entire, in all the transferred Banking Business Sector (assets and liabilities), as set out in the transformation balance sheet of the transferred banking business sector dated June 30, 2020 and formed until 16.4.2021, the day where the spin off was completed.

The "Demerged" taking all the shares issued by Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme, became the Parent of the Bank and its subsidiaries (Bank's Group).

On 19.4.2021 the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the "Demerged" was approved, by virtue of the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments number 45898/19.4.2021, and the banking license of the Demerged was revoked, while its corporate name changed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.".

As a consequence of the above, it is noted that in the disclosures of the Financial Statements, "Alpha Bank" ("Demerged") and "Alpha Services and Holdings Societe Anonyme" will be referred as "the Company", while "Alpha Bank" after the hive down will be referred as "the Bank".

The main activities of the Company include the following:

  • a. direct and indirect participation in domestic and / or foreign companies and enterprises that have been or will be established, of any kind and for any purpose;
  • b. design, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the name and on behalf of one or more insurance companies in the capacity of insurance agent in accordance with applicable law,
  • c. provision of accounting and tax support services to companies affiliated with the Company and to third parties, as well as elaboration of studies on strategic and financial management issues; and
  • d. issuance of securities for raising regulatory funds, which are expected to take the form of debit / credit securities.

All Financial Stability Fund's rights were maintained after the completion of hive – down.

The Company's name and its distinctive title is "Alpha Services and Holdings Societe Anonyme".

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED

1.1 Basis of presentation

The Company has prepared the condensed interim financial statements for the current period ending at 30.6.2022 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31.12.2021.

The accounting policies applied by the Company in preparing the condensed interim financial statements are the same as those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2021, after taking into account the amendments to standards which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2022, for which further analysis is provided in note 1.1.2.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. However, some assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Those assets are the following:

  • Investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through profit or loss

The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

1.1.1 Going concern

The financial statements as at 30.6.2022 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. It is noted that since the activity of the Company is directly related to the activity of the Bank that is its subsidiary, the assessment of the going concern principle of the Company is directly related to the going concern of the Bank and the Group. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the formation, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the following areas which are considered important during its assessment:

Developments in the macroeconomic environment

The recovery of economic activity in Greece, following the recession caused by the pandemic crisis in 2020, continued in the first quarter of 2022, as real GDP increased by 2.3% on a quarterly basis for the seventh consecutive quarter and by 7% on an annual basis, for the fourth consecutive quarter. Economic growth was driven primarily by private consumption, which grew by 11.6% on an annual basis, contributing 7.9 points to the annual GDP growth rate, supported by the accumulation of savings during the pandemic and the notable rise in of employment.

Investment recorded the second largest positive contribution to GDP growth in the first quarter of 2022 (1.6 percentage points), as it increased by 12.7%, while the contribution of inventories (including statistical differences) was marginal, at 0.2 percentage points. The largest increase, from the individual categories of investments, was recorded by investments in residences (18.6%, on an annual basis), followed by other constructions (15.9%) and investments in mechanical and technological equipment (15.4%). Public consumption also contributed positively to the rise in economic activity in the first quarter, by 0.4 percentage points, as a result of the fiscal support measures for households and businesses adopted by the government and mainly related to dealing with the negative effects of increased energy costs. On the contrary, net exports of goods and services had a negative contribution to the change in GDP in the first quarter, by 3.1 percentage points, as the increase in imports of goods and services (17.5% on an annual basis) exceeded the increase in the corresponding exports (9.6%).

Inflation, based on the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), remained on an upward trajectory in the first two months of 2022 and accelerated after the outbreak of war. The HICP increased by an average of 8.5% on an annual basis in the first half of 2022, compared to a decrease of 1.3% in the same period of 2021, primarily due to rising global energy prices - given that Greece is net importer of energy-, disruptions in supply chains and shortages of raw materials. In 2022, harmonized inflation is expected to be 8.9% according to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer, July 2022) and 7.6% according to the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report, June 2022).

The uncertainty that prevails in the international environment, according to the latest available estimates, will slow down the recovery of the Greek economy in the short term. The uncertainty factors concern: (i) geopolitical risks, (ii) inflationary pressures and mainly the increase in energy prices, which intensified after the outbreak of war in February 2022, (iii) the possibility of interruption of natural gas supply from Russia to the European Union in the immediate term which is expected to exert further pressure on the general price index, but also on the functioning of the real economy and (iv) on the increase in interest rates and borrowing costs that may delay the implementation of investment plans.

The forecast recently published by the European Commission, for the growth rate of Greece's GDP in 2022, has been revised upwards to 4% (European Economic Forecast, Summer, July 2022), from 3.5% in May (European Economic Forecast, Spring 2022). The latter was based on the indications of high performance of tourism in the current year, but also on the estimated increase in investments, in the context of utilizing the resources of the Recovery Fund. In addition, private consumption is estimated to continue to grow during 2022 and is expected to be supported by the partial use of accumulated savings to maintain consumers' living standards, by the positive impact of additional fiscal measures aimed at mitigating rising energy costs and from the rise in employment. The prolongation of geopolitical instability and intensifying inflationary pressures, however, may bring about a significant reduction in disposable income, in Greece, but also in other European countries, with negative results for consumption, Greek tourism and, consequently, economic growth. In this direction, the European Commission predicts a slowdown in the rate of change of Greece's GDP, to 2.4% in 2023.

Liquidity

Regarding the liquidity levels of the Group, it is noted that there was no adverse change due to Covid-19 in terms of the ability to draw liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and from money markets (with or without collateral) nor restrictions on the use of the Group's cash reserves as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with very low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 30.6.2022 amounts to € 12.8 billion. In addition, in order to reinforce its liquidity, the Bank issued on 16.9.2021 a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 500 mil., with a 6.5-year maturity, callable in year 5.5 with a coupon of 2.5% and a yield of 2.625%, while, additionally on 10.12.2021 the Bank issued a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 400 mil, with a 2-year maturity, with a coupon of 3% and callable the first year. In addition, it is important that the European Central Bank, in its decisions in March, April and December 2020, accepted the securities of the Hellenic Republic as collateral for liquidity operations. It is noted that the available eligible collaterals through which the drawing of liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and / or from third sources is ensured, to the extent required, amounts to € 13.4 billion as of 30.6.2022. In addition, private sector deposits increased by € 1.6 billion. As a result of the above, the liquidity ratios (liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio) exceed the supervisory limits that have been set. Moreover, considering the conditions that form the current economic environment, stress test exercises are carried out regularly (at least monthly) for liquidity purposes, in order to assess possible outflows (contractual or potential). The Group completes successfully the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer. As a result, based on the Group's plan as well on internal stress tests the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves to meet its needs.

Capital Adequacy

On 30.6.2022, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group stands at 12.4%, while the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio at 15.1%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank. It is also important that due to the spread of Covid-19, the European Central Bank decided to temporarily deviate from the minimum limits of regulatory capital for European Banks at least until the end of 2022. The Bank in order to strengthen its capital proceeded on 4.3.2021 to the issuance of new Tier 2 bond amounting to € 500 mil, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with initial fixed coupon of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, which resets to a new rate effective from the call date until maturity and which is set based on the 5-year swap rate plus a margin 5.823% for the residual maturity. In addition, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (2020-2023). Taking into consideration the results of the capital Stress Test and the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), the actions that aim in the creation of internal capital through profitability, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio and the MREL ratio will remain higher than the required minimum levels.

Updated Strategic Plan 2021-2024

In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan which is intended to drive the sustainable development and profitability of the Group (note 22). Through the initiatives of this plan the following are expected:

  • Increase in revenue based on the increase in assets
  • Targeted reduction of NPEs,
  • Provision of additional capital buffers through a series of capital measures that support the resolution of NPAs
  • Operating costs reduction and improvement of the efficiency of operations
  • Increase in revenue from commissions,

• Development of the international presence, especially in Romania.

Based on the above and taking into account:

  • the Group's capital adequacy ratio that is significantly higher than the required minimum levels, the MREL ratio that is higher than the mid-level, as well the specific actions the Bank has planned to further strengthen the ratios,
  • the satisfactory liquidity of the Group,
  • the measures taken by the Group to protect its employees from coronavirus, the implementation of actions under the Business Continuity Plan and the activation of the ability for teleworking at a large scale whilst ensuring that critical operations are performed,
  • the actions taken to enhance efficiency and profitability,
  • the decisions of the eurozone countries to adopt a series of fiscal and other measures to stimulate the economy, according to which Greece is expected to receive € 30.5 billion from the recovery package for Europe "Next Generation EU",
  • that even though the prolonged duration as well as the form that the Russia and Ukraine war conflict will possibly take may adversely affect the macroeconomic environment, the Group has limited exposure to Russian and Ukrainian economy as well as significant buffers of capital adequacy and liquidity,

the Board of Directors estimates that, at least for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the conditions for the application of the going concern principle for the preparation of its financial statements are met.

1.1.2 Adoption of new standards and of amendments to standards

The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2022:

‣ Amendment to the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Business Combinations": Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 3 in order to update references to the Conceptual Framework. More specifically:

  • amended IFRS 3 in order to refer to the latest version of the Conceptual Framework,
  • added a requirement that for transactions within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 an acquirer applies IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 instead of the Conceptual Framework to identify liabilities it has assumed in a business combination,
  • added an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognise contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

The above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 16 "Property, plant and equipment": Proceeds before intended use (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 16 which prohibits deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items and the cost of producing them must be recognized in profit or loss.

The above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 37 "Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets": Onerous Contracts – Cost of fulfilling a contract (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 37 in order to clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. These costs are both the incremental costs of fulfilling a contract – for example direct labour and materials- and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling a contract – for example the depreciation charge of an item of property plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract.

The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

‣ Annual Improvements – cycle 2018-2020 (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

As part of the annual improvements project, the International Accounting Standards Board issued on 14.5.2020 non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41.

The above amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

‣ International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts" and Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts" (Regulation 2021/2036/19.11.2021)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

IFRS 17 does not apply to the financial statements of the Company. However, the application IFRS 17 will have an impact on the second largest subsidiary of the Company which is an insurance company and as a result the Company is examining any impact on the acquisition cost of the subsidiary.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Disclosure of accounting policies (Regulation 2022/357/2.3.2022)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Company is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following standards and amendments to standards which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and which have not been early applied by the Company.

Further analysis of the above standards is provided in note 1.1.2 of the annual financial statements as at 31.12.2021.

1.2 Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Significant accounting judgments

The Company, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments and assessments which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Those judgements relate to the following:

Income Tax

The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and of the relevant results is carried out based on the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, it may be affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. When assessing the tax treatment of all significant transactions, the Company takes into account and evaluates all available data (Circulars of the Ministry of Finance, case law, administrative practices, etc.) and / or opinions received from internal and external legal advisers. Future tax audits and changes in tax legislation may result in the adjustment of the amount of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and in tax payments other than those recognized in the financial statements of the Company.

Triggers events for impairment on the cost of Company's investment to the Bank (note 11)

Despite the fact that Company's cost of investment in the Bank exceeds Bank's net assets on a consolidated level, the Company made the judgment that there are no triggers for impairment considering that this is a temporary difference taking into account the following:

  • A. As at the end of June 2022 the Bank has completed the majority of its multi-year NPE deleveraging plan.
  • B. Under the approved Budget for 2022, the Bank is expected to generate a significant after tax profit in 2022.
  • C. Under the latest submitted and approved Business Plan, the Bank is in a good position to make full use of the potential of Greece's economic recovery and to steadily improve its financial performance over the next two years. In addition, the Bank aims for a significant annual profitability in the medium term.
  • D. No significant changes are expected in the financial, legal or regulatory environment of the Bank that would have a material adverse effect on its performance.
  • E. Finally, the positive market response regarding stock price and Bank's prospects.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Company in the context of applying its accounting principles and relating to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period that relate to the future are presented below. Final amounts in the next periods may be significantly different from those recognised in the financial statements.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

For assets and liabilities traded in active markets, the determination of their fair value is based on quoted, market prices. In all other cases the determination of fair value is based on valuation techniques that use observable market data to the greatest extent possible. In cases where there is no observable market data, the fair value is determined using data that are based on internal estimates and assumptions i.e. determination of expected cash flows, discount rates, prepayment probabilities or counterparty default.

Impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries and on non - financial assets

The Company, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment intangible assets, as well as its investments in subsidiaries and at least on an annual basis property, plant and equipment. Internal estimates are used to a significant degree to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, i.e. the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The estimates and judgments applied by the Company in making decisions and in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis in order to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any changes is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

In order to determine the fair value of the securities issued in the context of the Galaxy transaction and which were recognized on 18.6.2021, the consideration for the sale of loans as at 18.6.2021 has been used, as it has been assessed that no change ocurred until 31.12.2021. Therefore, the securities are presented at level 3. As at 30.6.2022, taking into consideration the imminent contribution in kind to Galaxy Mezz Ltd (note 23), the fair value was determined by weighting the prices resulting from comparable transactions and the valuation report of an independent appraiser using the discounted cash flow method.

20. Restatement of financial statements

During the first half of 2022, the Company reclassified the fee paid to the Bank for the Insurance brokerage services from "General Administrative expenses" to "Commission expenses" in the Income Statement, in order to match commission fees received for the launch and distribution of bank assurance services with the related expense.

In addition, the Company during the second half of 2021, changed the calculation method of the defined benefit obligation arising from the pension compensation under the Greek labour legislation, taking into account the relevant IFRIC Committee's decision. Based on this decision, the distribution of the obligation into periods of service no longer starts from the first day of employment but subsequently, as prescribed in article 8 of Law 3198/1955.

Finally, during the second half of 2021, the Company in order to achieve a better presentation reclassified loans servicing fees from "General Administrative expenses" to "Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers and related expenses" in the Income Statement.

As a result of the above changes, certain figures of the Income Statement have been restated as follows:

22. Strategic Plan

In May 2021, the Group announced its updated Strategic Plan, which includes a series of strategic initiatives which are intended to drive future performance. The strategic priority is to capture the opportunity to participate in the anticipated credit growth for the Greek banking sector, that is expected to be driven by EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility ("RRF") funds and the investments that these funds will mobilize. The Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:

  • The Revenue increase driven by asset growth initiative is based mainly to the anticipated recovery of the Greek economy, driven also by the EU RRF enhancing both Net Interest Income from performing exposures and Fee and Commission Income for the Bank.
  • The initiatives for the reduction of non-performing exposures (NPEs), include a series of transactions aimed at significantly reducing NPEs also leading to a large reduction in cost of risk as well as operating costs associated with NPE management. With the submission of the updated NPE Plan in April 2022, the NPE ratio will drop to approximately 7.5% by the end of 2022, aiming at a NPE ratio of 3% by the end of 2024 for the Group.
  • The efficiency enhancements initiative of core operations represents the Group's aim to achieve operational excellence by focusing on core commercial banking activities, executing on business and retail banking growth strategy, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs throughout the Group.
  • Initiatives for the increase of commission income, mainly through wealth management and bancassurance products.

Until 30.6.2022, progress has been achieved in the operation of the RRF, reduction of NPEs achieving a single-digit NPE ratio (8.2%), while the transformation program continues allowing the achievement of greater levels of efficiency and productivity.

23. Events after the balance sheet date

• On 15.7.2022 and 18.7.2022 the Company proceeded to the share capital increase of Galaxy Mezz Ltd through: a) contribution in kind of the 44% of the mezzanine and junior notes of Galaxy and Cosmos securitizations held amounting to € 22,496 and b) cash of € 894 for the issuance of ordinary shares.

As a result of the above contribution of cash and notes by the Company, 86,628,044 new shares with a nominal value of € 0.27 each were issued and the share capital of Galaxy Mezz Ltd amounted to € 23,474 with a total number of shares of 86,941,158.

On 22.7.2022, the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders approved the reduction in kind of the share capital, by decreasing the nominal value of each ordinary shares issued by the Company by an amount of € 0.01, and the payment of the amount of the reduction of share capital in kind by way of distribution to the Company's shareholders of issued shares of Galaxy Mezz Ltd on a value corresponding to the value of the reduction of the share capital, i.e. 86,941,158 ordinary shares of a nominal value of € 0.27, that will be distributed in proportion of 1 Galaxy Mezz Ltd share for every 27 Company shares.

Therefore, Galaxy Mezz Ltd will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

  • The Board of Directors of the Company during its meeting on 21.7.2022, in the context of the implementation of the Performance Incentive Program for the year 2021 to "Material Risk Takers" of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, decided among others the following:
    • to amend the Plan Regulation in order to be aligned with the Company's Remuneration Policy, as approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of 22.7.2021.
    • to award a total of 1,402,545 Options to 36 beneficiaries based on aforesaid Performance Incentive Program PIP of 2021. Since, as per the Regulation, each of the awarded Options corresponds to one (1) New Share, in case all Option Rights are exercised, up to a total of 1,402,545 newly-issued common, registered, dematerialized Shares of the Issuer will be issued, a number corresponding to, 0.06% of its paid-in share capital.
