Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Alpha Services and Holding Group, (hereinafter the "Group"), which includes companies in Greece and abroad, offers the following services: corporate and retail banking, financial services, investment banking and brokerage services, insurance services, real estate management, hotel services.

On 16 April 2021, the demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector of Alpha Bank S.A. (the "Demerged") was completed and its core banking operations were contributed into a new company – credit institution which was registered under G.E.M.I. on the same date under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Beneficiary"). Specifically, Alpha Bank S.A substituted the Demerged as universal successor, in all of its assets and liabilities within the banking business sector transferred to it, as these are included in the Transformation balance sheet of 30.6.2020 and were formed until 16.4.2021, the completion date of the demerger.

The "Demerged" by assuming the 100% of the issued shares of Alpha Bank S.A., becomes the parent entity of the bank and its subsdiaries (Alpha Bank 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decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments number 45898/19.4.2021, and the banking license of the Demerged was revoked, while its corporate name changed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A."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 result of the above it is noted that in the notes to the Financial Statements "Alpha Bank" (the "Demerged") and "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A." will be mentioned as "the Company", while "Alpha Bank S.A." after the demerger will be mentioned as "the Bank".

The Company's business scope is:

  • a) the direct and indirect participation in domestic and/or foreign companies and undertakings that already exist or will be stablished, of any form and objective whatsoever,
  • b) the design, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the name and on behalf of one or more insurance undertakings in the capacity of insurance agent in accordance with the applicable legislation,
  • c) the provision of supporting accounting and tax services to affiliated companies and third parties as well as the elaboration of studies on strategic and financial management and
  • d) the issuance of securities for raising regulatory capital, which are expected to have the form of debit/credit titles.

The corporate name and distinctive title of the Company were established as "Alpha Sevices and Holdings S.A." and "Alpha Sevices and Holdings" respectively. The Company has its registered office at 40 Stadiou Street, Athens and is listed in the General Commercial Register with registration number 223701000 (ex societe anonym registration number 6066/06/B/86/05). Its duration has been set until 2100 and can be extended following a decision of the General Assembly.

On 18.1.2022 the Company was granted a licence to operate as a Financial Holdings Company by the European Central Bank.

The Company is managed by the Board of Directors, which represents the Company and is qualified to resolve on every action concerning its management, the administration of its property and the promotion of its scope of business in general.

The tenure of the Board of Directors which was elected by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 22.7.2022 is quadrennial and may be extended until the termination of the deadline for the convocation of the next Ordinary General Meeting and until the respective resolution has been adopted.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED

1.1 Basis of presentation

The Group has prepared the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the current period ended on 31.3.2024 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union. Interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31.12.2023.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those stated in the published consolidated financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2023, taking also into account the amendments to standards which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2024, 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 consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

1.1.1 Going concern

The interim consolidated financial statements as at 31.3.2024 have been prepared based on the going concern basis. For the assessment of going concern assumption, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the shaping, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the developments in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, the estimates for the formation of the liquidity and capital adequacy ratios as well as the formation of its figures which is expected to come from the actions included in the updated strategic plan up to 2025 (as further analyzed in note 1.1.1 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2023) and 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 consolidated 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 1.1.2024:

Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Leases": Lease liability in a sale and leaseback (Regulation 2023/2579/20.11.2023)

On 22 September 2022, the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 16 in order to clarify that, in a sale and leaseback transaction, the seller-lessee shall determine "lease payments" or "revised lease payments" in a way that he would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. In addition, in case of partial or full termination of a lease, the seller-lessee is not prevented from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss resulting from this termination.

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

Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Regulation 2023/2822/19.12.2023)

On 23.1.2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 1 relating to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:

  • The amendments specify that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period are those which will be used to determine if the liability must be classified as current or non-current.
  • Management expectations about events after the balance sheet date must not be taken into account.
  • The amendments clarify the situations that are considered settlement of a liability.

On 15.7.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board extended effective date by one year taking into account the impact of Covid-19.

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

Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Non-current liabilities with covenants (Regulation 2023/2822/19.12.2023)

On 31.10.2022, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued an amendment to IAS 1 with which it provided clarifications regarding the classification as current or non-current of a liability that an entity has the right to defer for at least 12 months and which is subject to compliance with covenants. More specifically, it was clarified that only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, the amendment extended the effective date of the amendment to IAS 1 "Classification of liabilities as current or non-current" issued in 2020 by one year.

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

In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued IFRS 18 and IFRS 19 the effective date of which is after 1.1.2024 and which have not been early applied by the Group.

International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements". Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2027

On 9.4.2024 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 18. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and sets out presentation and disclosure requirements for financial statements.

To meet this objective, IFRS 18 introduces:

  • two new defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss: operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes,
  • disclosures about management-defined performance measures ("MPM's"), and
  • enhanced requirements for grouping of information (aggregation and disaggregation) in the financial statements.

IFRS 18 requires that a company presents income and expenses in separate operating, investing and financing categories. The operating category consists of all income and expenses that are not classified in the investing, financing, income taxes or discontinued operations categories.

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

International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 19" Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures". Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2027

On 9.5.2024 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 19. IFRS 19 specifies reduced disclosure requirements that an eligible entity (it is subsidiary, does not have public accountability and has an ultimate or intermediate parent that publishes IFRS consolidated financial statements) is permitted to apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards.

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

The other standards or amendments to standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and have not been early applied by the Group are analyzed in note 1.1.2 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2023.

1.2 Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Group has made and which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements as well as 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 do not differ significantly from what is mentioned in note 1.3 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2023.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2024 increased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year mainly due to the increase of interest rates on loan and bond portfolios and a larger portfolio of securities following acquisitions.

The abovementioned increase was partially offset from the increased cost of funding due to change in ECB rates, the increase in repurchase agreements (repos), the new bond issuances and the gradual increase in term deposit interest rates.

8. Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk

The following table presents the impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers and other financial instruments, financial guarantee contracts, other assets and recoveries.

From 1 January to

31.3.2024 restated

Total (a) + (b) 50,071 104,815
Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 31.

The calculation of expected credit losses incorporates a sale scenario with 100% probability for the loan portfolios that are classified as Held for Sale.

In the current period an additional charge of € 9.4 mil. was recognised for the loan portfolios that have been classified as Held for Sale since 31.12.2023, as disclosed in note 28. The corresponding amount recognized for Held for Sale loan portfolios in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to € 42 mil.

Moreover, taking into account the Business Plan for the management of non-performing exposures up to 2025 (NPE Business Plan) a 100% sale scenario was applied for the calculation of expected credit losses for a perimeter of secured retail loans of € 98 mil. gross value, which resulted in impairment losses for the period of € 28.9 mil.

The decrease in impairment losses on debt securities and other securities is mainly due to the improvement in credit ratings published in the third quarter of 2023.

9. Transformation costs

"Transformation costs" include costs amounting to € 3,312 (31.3.2023: €0) that relates to projects and initiatives carried out by the Group that lead to significant changes in its operational model, which is part of its Business Plan 2023-2025, with the aim of enhancing the organization's efficiency, optimizing the commercial model and further strengthening the performance measurement and reward systems in all functions.

10. Income tax

The income tax rate for legal entities in Greece is set to 22%, for the income of tax year 2021 and afterwards. For the financial institutions the income tax rate is 29%.

Cyprus 12.5 Luxembourg 24.94
Bulgaria 10 Jersey 10
Serbia 15 United Kingdom 25*
Romania 16 Ireland 12.5

*For the financial year beginning 1 April 2023, the main corporate tax rate is set at 25% (companies with profits over £ 50,000) and the small profits rate at 19% (companies with profits under £ 50,000).

The income tax in the Income Statement is analyzed as follows:

From 1 January to
31.3.2024 31.3.2023 as restated
Current tax 19,485 2,840
Deferred tax 63,202 45,138
Total 82,687 47,978
Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 31.

Pursuant to article 24 par. 8 of Law 4172/2013, the new established credit institution Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme made use of the beneficial provisions of the law and postponed the depreciation for tax purposes of its fixed assets during the first three fiscal years. Based on Circular 1073/31.3.2015 of Independent Authority for Public Revenue, the deferral of tax depreciation does not include the amortization of the debit difference of article 27 par. 2 of Law 4172/2013 (loss from the exchange of Greek government bonds) and of the debit difference of article 27 par.3 of Law 4172/2013 (loss from final write-off or transfer of bad debts). As of 1.1.2024, the above period has expired for Alpha Bank, and tax depreciations on its assets are now calculated as usual.

As of 31.3.2023, the amount of deferred tax assets which are in scope of Law 4465/2017 and include the amount of the debit difference of Law 4046/2012 (PSI), amount to € 2.54 bil. (31.2.2023: € 2.58 bil.)

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 to assess the probability of a negative outcome and the potential loss. For cases where there is a significant probability of a negative outcome, and the result may be reliably estimated, the Group recognizes a provision that is included in the Balance Sheet under "Provisions". As of 31.03.2024 the amount of the provision stood at € 28,741 (31.12.2023: € 28,991).

For those cases, that according to their progress and the assessment of the legal department as at 31.3.2024, a negative outcome is not probable or the possible loss cannot be estimated reliably due to the complexity of the cases and their duration, the Group has not established a provision.

23. Segmental Reporting

The Executive Committee is the ultimate operating decision maker and monitors internal reporting on the Group operating segments' performance based on which segments' results against targets are evaluated and allocation of resources is decided.

These amendments refer to:

  • The transfer of activities relating to the execution of trading activities in the interbank market from Wealth Management and Treasury to Wholesale segment and the renaming of Wealth Management and Treasury segment to Wealth Management respectively.
  • The formation of Corporate Center segment, mainly representing results from activities under the responsibility of the Chief Investment Officer, including the deployment and management of liquidity and capital from the other operating segments' activities and the management of regulatory capital and liquidity ratios in line with the Group's medium term Strategic Plan.

The above table present the fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The fair value of investments in debt securities and debt securities in issue is calculated on the basis of market prices, provided that the market is active, and in 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 fair value of loans measured at amortized cost is estimated using a model for discounting the contractual future cash flows until maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium, the operational cost, the capital requirement and the expected loss rate.

For the 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 valuation 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 discount rate of impaired loans is constituted of the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium, the operational cost and the capital requirement.

The fair value of debt securities classified as Loans and advances to customers and measured at amortized cost, is being calculated through the use of a model for discounting the contractual future cash flows taking into account their credit risk.

The above tables present the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value per fair value hierarchy level based on the significance of the data used for its determination.

Level 1 includes securities which are traded in an active market and exchange-traded derivatives.

Level 2 includes securities whose fair value is calculated based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or securities whose fair value is estimated based the income approach methodology with the use of interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.

Level 3 includes securities the fair value of which is estimated using significant unobservable inputs

The valuation methodology of securities is subject to approval of Asset Liability Committee. It is noted that specifically for securities whose fair value is calculated based on market prices, bid prices are used and daily checks are performed with regards to their change in fair value.

The fair value of loans measured at fair value through profit or loss, is estimated based on the valuation methodology as described above in the disclosure of fair value for loans measured at amortized cost. Given that the data used for the calculation of fair value are non observable, loans are classified at Level 3.

Shares the fair value of which is computational, are classified to Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the extent of the contribution of unobservable data in the calculation of the fair value. The fair value of non-listed shares, as well as 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 the estimations made by the Group regarding the future profitability of the issuer taking into account the expected growth rate of its operations, as well as the weighted average rate of capital return which is used as discount rate.

Income methodologies are used for the valuation of over the counter derivatives: discounted cash flow models, option calculation models, or other widely accepted economic valuation models.

The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives is subject to approval by the Assets Liabilities Committee. Mid prices are considered as both long and short positions may be open. Valuations are checked on a daily basis with the respective prices of counterparty banks or central clearing houses in the context of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the nonobservable inputs used for the determination of fair value are significant, then the above financial assets are classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.

In addition, the Group calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to take into account 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 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 default probability of both the counterparty and Group, the impact of the first time of default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of Group and the specific characteristics of netting and collateral agreements in force.

Collaterals and derivatives exposure per counterparty simulate throughout the life of respective financial assets. 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 according to best practices.

The tables below present a breakdown of BCVA counterparty sector and credit quality, (as defined for the presentation purposes of the table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage"):

In the context of the disposal of the 80% of the equity shares of Cepal Holdings, for the valuation of the earn-out that relates to the estimated earnings before depreciation, tax, and interest (EBITDA) for the next six years, the base scenario of the company's business plan was taken into consideration. The earn out is payable in 2 different periods, the first period covers the years 2021-2023 and the second period covers the years 2024-2026. Based on this scenario (which is in line with the valuation of 20% of the Bank's investment in the company), the valuation for the years 2024-2026 of the earn-out consideration is zero.

In the context of the sale of Alpha Payment Services S.M.S.A. to Nexi S.p.A., the Bank reserves the right to repurchase in the fourth year after the completion of the transaction part of the shares that will correspond to a participation between 24% and 39% in the company for a fixed strike price. According to the estimated figures of the company, the value of this option as of 31.03.2024 is zero.

The contingent consideration related to the sale of NPE portfolios is based on the estimated net recoveries of the underlying portfolio's under the base scenario of the Business Plan as agreed between the parties. The expected earn-out consideration, based on the above base case assumptions, have been further discounted to their present value based on their projected payment period

25. Credit risk disclosures of financial instruments

This note provides additional disclosures regarding credit risk for the loans to customers and investment securities portfolios for which expected credit losses are recognized, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9.

a. Loans to customers measured at amortized cost

For credit risk disclosure purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost also includes 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 total amount recognized by the Group to cover the credit risk arising from contracts with customers amounts to € 954,380 as of 31.03.2024 (31.12.2023: € 939,768), taking into account the expected credit risk losses of loans which are measured at amortized cost that amount to € 882,518 (31.12.2023: € 865,037), the expected credit risk losses of letters of guarantee, credit guarantees and undisbursed loan commitments that amount to € 27,925 (31.12.2023: € 29,215) and expected credit risk losses for receivables from customers that amount to € 43,938 (31.12.2023: € 45,516).

In the context of post model adjustments (PMAs) recognized as disclosed in the annual financial statements as at 31.12.2023 (note 47.1), the ECL allowance as at 31.03.2024 includes an accumulated PMA of € 118.3 mil. (31.12.2023: € 123.3 mil.)

In the context of the activation of the Early Warning mechanism for the Bank's customers (Businesses/Individuals) operating in areas affected by fires and floods throughout Greece, the following treatment was performed in terms of Stage and forbearance classification and ECL calculation, in accordance with 31.12.2023:

  • Performing exposures that enter the 3m installment freeze scheme and had zero days past due prior to the freeze period, were classified as Stage 2 without considering the scheme as forbearance measure
  • Performing exposures that enter the 3m installment freeze scheme and were delinquent prior to the freeze period, were classified as forborne and consequently were classified as stage 2.

In accordance with the Bank's assessment and the relevant decisions of its competent bodies, specific instalment suspension measures have been approved for specific groups of borrowers. As of 31.3.2024, the exposures that use the 3m freeze period and were classified at stage 2 due to the first criterion above, result in € 27.8 mil. and € 0.2 mil. were considered as forbearance.

The above treatment did not have any material impact in the ECL.

The Group estimates allowance for expected credit losses based on the weighted probability of three alternative scenarios. More specifically, the Group makes 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 assesses the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios.

The macroeconomic variables affecting the level of expected credit losses are the Gross Domestic product, the unemployment rate, inflation, and forward-looking prices of residential and commercial real estates. The variables applied by the Group as of 31.3.2024 for Greece for the period 2024 – 2027 are the same to those disclosed the annual financial statements as at 31.12.2023 (note 47.1). With regards to the countries where the Group mainly operates, Cyprus and Romania, the average variables per year for the period 2024 – 2026 were updated as at 31.3.2024 without a material impact in the expected credit loss calculation.

26. Capital Adequacy

The policy of the Group is to maintain strong capital ratios and capital buffers over requirements in order to secure that the business plan will be achieved and to ensure 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.

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 Tier1 capital (hybrid securities) and Tier 2 capital (subordinated debt). RWAs include the credit risk of the investment portfolio [including also counterparty credit risk and credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk], the market risk of the trading book and the operational risk.

Alpha Bank S.A., as a systemic bank, and therefore its Parent company Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., is supervised by the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank (ECB), to which reports are submitted every quarter. The supervision is conducted in accordance with the European Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) as amended, inter alia, by Regulation (EU) 876/2019 (CRR 2) and the relevant European Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV), as incorporated into the Greek Law through the Law 4261/2014 as amended, inter alia, by Directive (EU)2019/878 (CRD V) and incorporated by Law 4799/2021.

For the calculation of capital adequacy ratio the above regulatory framework is followed. In addition:

  • Besides the 8% capital adequacy limit, there are applicable limits of 4.5% for CET 1 ratio and 6% for Tier 1 ratio, respectively.
  • The maintenance of capital buffers additional to the CET1 capital are required. In particular the Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR) consisting of:
    • o The Capital conservation buffer (CCB) stands at 2.5%.
    • o the following capital buffers set by the Bank of Greece through its Executive Committee Acts:
      • countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB), equal to "zero percent" (0%) for the first quarter of 2024.
      • other Systemically Important Institutions (O-SII) buffer, which will gradually rise to "one percent" (1%) from 1.1.2019 to 1.1.2023. For 2024, the O-SII buffer stands at 1.00%.

These limits should be met on a consolidated basis.

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

31.3.2024 31.12.2023
Common Equity Tier I Ratio 14.6% 14.4%
Tier I Ratio 15.9% 15.7%
Total Capital Adequacy Ratio* 19.0% 18.8%

The above capital ratios include period profits post a provision for dividend payout according to the dividend policy. Excluding the provision for dividend at Q1 2024, capital ratios increase by c. 25bps and the Total Capital ratio would stand at 19.2%.

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

On March 31, 2024, the Group's Total Capital Adequacy & Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratios stood at 19.0% and 14.6% respectively, following the inclusion of Q1 2024 interim results in prudential own funds, for which relevant approval from the regulatory authorities was obtained.

Additionally, the Group's CET1 Ratio includes specific prudential adjustments in accordance with Article 3 of CRR and the expectations of regulatory authorities, including those related to exposures guaranteed by the Greek state. Specifically, for the exposures guaranteed by the Greek state, the Bank made a prudential adjustment of € 12 million as of March 31, 2024. This adjustment is temporary and depends, among other factors, on the progress of payments from the Greek state (based on the new Law 5104/24). The book value of these exposures, recognized in the "Loans and receivables from customers" account, amounted to € 109 million as of March 31, 2024, and, in accordance with ECB guidelines, were classified as non-performing exposures (NPE) and accordingly as Stage 3 loans.

Taking into consideration the 2023 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) decision, ECB notified Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., that for Q1 2024 it is required to meet the minimum limit for consolidated Overall Capital Requirements (OCR), of at least 14.70% (OCR includes for Q4 2023 the CCB Capital Buffer of 2.5% the O-SII buffer of 1% and the CCyB of 0.20% which mainly derives from the contribution of subsidiaries).

The ΟCR consists of the minimum limit of the total Capital adequacy Ratio (8%), in accordance with art. 92(1) of the CRR, the additional regulatory requirements of Pillar2 (P2R) in accordance with article 16(2) (a) of the Council Regulation EU 1024/2013 (3%), as well as the combined buffers' requirements (e.g. CCB, OSII, CCyB), in accordance with Article 128 (6) of Directive 2013/36/EU. The minimum rate should be kept on an on-going basis, considering the CRR/CRD Transitional Provisions.

Minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)

On 22 April 2024, Alpha Bank S.A. received a communication letter from the European Single Resolution Board (SRB) 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 24.26% of Total Risk Exposure Amount (TREA) and 5.91% of Leverage Exposure (LRE). The letter also sets out the intermediate MREL targets to be met from 1 January 2024, i.e. 18.81% of TREA and 5.91% of LRE. 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.

As of 31 March 2024, Group's MREL ratio stood at 25.73%. The ratio includes the profit of the financial reporting period that ended on 31 March 2024 post a provision for dividend payout. The final targeted MREL ratio is updated annually by the SRB.

Total Assets and Total Liabilities of Alpha Bank Group are lower than Total Assets and Total Liabilities of Alpha Services and Holdings Group, by € 1,043 mil. and € 1,011 mil. respectively. As a result, Total Equity of the Alpha Bank Group, amounting to € 7,474 mil., is lower than the Total Equity of Alpha Services and Holdings Group, by € 32 mil. 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 quarter of 2024 amounted to € 208 mil. and is lower by € 3,4 mil. compared to Profit after income of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. Group, mainly due to the result of the companies not being 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.

30. Corporate events relating to the Group structure

On 12.1.2024, Alpha Bank Romania acquired through a business transfer the consumer ecosystem built by Orange Money Romania (comprised of a customer portfolio, top of the market digital asset, credit card portfolio). The transaction allows Alpha Bank Romania to strengthen its market position on the retail segment and significantly enhance its digital proposition for the respective segment. According to IFRS 3, the acquisition method was applied by Alpha Bank Romania as accounting treatment for this business transfer. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially recognized on acquisition date at their fair value, while the purchase price consideration amounting to € 11,896 was paid in cash. Due to the short time period elapsed since the acquisition date the fair value amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed presented in the table below are considered provisional. Based on the provisional fair values amounts a gain of 6.6 mil. has been recognised in "Gain less losses on financial transasctions".

33. Events after the balance sheet date

• In December 2022, the European Council adopted the EU Directive 2022/2523 for a global minimum tax that is expected to be used by individual jurisdictions. The goal of the framework is to reduce the shifting of profit from one jurisdiction to another, in order to reduce global tax obligations in corporate structures. In March 2022, the OECD released detailed technical guidance on Pillar Two of the rules. As at the date of approval of the quarterly financial statements, most of the jurisdictions where the Group operates have already incorporated these changes into their domestic legislation with the exception of Cyprus and Serbia which have not enacted legislation to incorporate these rules of Pillar II into their national law yet.

As far as Greece is concerned, Law 5100/2024 published in the Official Gazette on 5 April 2024, incorporated the EU Council Directive into Greek legislation and it closely follows the provisions of the EU Pillar Two Directive. The law includes detailed provisions on safe harbors, including a Transitional Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting Safe Harbor, a Transitional UTPR Safe Harbor, as well as a permanent QDMTT Safe Harbor.

Alpha Services and Holdings has already taken every necessary action to assess the potential impact of those rules on the Group. In particular, it has processed the exercise based on the transitional safe harbor rules and has concluded that no significant impact is expected for the Group.

  • In November 2023, following receipt of internal approvals, the Bank initiated the sale of a perimeter of EUR 0.4 bil. of mainly mortgage non–performing exposures ("GAIA transaction") and has been working on completing the relevant steps to execute the transaction. During the transaction preparation phase and following receipt of internal approvals on 16.4.2024 and 22.4.2024, it was deemed appropriate to upsize the transaction's portfolio by an additional perimeter of EUR 0.1 bil., which possessed similar characteristics to the original perimeter (i.e. aggregate portfolio of EUR 0.5 bil. consisting primarily of mortgage loans). Based on the above and according to IFRS 5, the additional perimeter of EUR 0.1 bil. had not been classified in Assets held for Sale in the financial statements as of 31.3.2024. Following the developments described above, no additional financial impact is expected, as sale scenario for the incremental perimeter had already been incorporated in the ECL calculation as of 31.3.2024, based on the Group's business plan. Within the context of the transaction, the Bank intends to use the Greek securitization framework (L.3156/2003) and the Greek HAPS Law (L.4649/2019), and to proceed with all required steps to execute and conclude the transaction in 2024.
  • The Board of Directors of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. at its meeting held on 28.3.2024, approved the award of up to 2,760,776 shares in total to twenty executives for the year 2023, in the context of implementing the Performance Incentive Program. The award of the shares is subject to all applicable terms and conditions set in the Regulation of the Plan taking into account: (i) the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting dated July 27, 2023, by virtue of which, inter alia, a four-year Stock Award Plan was introduced and (ii) the resolution of the Board of Directors dated 1.9.2023 by which the Regulation of the Plan was approved. The award of the shares to each beneficiary shall be calculated based on the volume weighted average price, in particular, as at the reference price of Euro 1.7164 determined in February 2024. Given that the award of the shares was granted in the second quarter of 2024, the Plan will be accounted for during the vesting period in proportion to the existing corresponding plans.
