In the above statements, net impairment losses/reversals on receivables of the Npl Segment were reclassified to interest receivable and similar income to the extent to which they represent the operations of this business and are an integral part of the return on the investment. For this reason too, apart from the specific operations, the effects of an analysis performed also in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, have been classified amongst value adjustments

** As stated by CRR (article 48), these kind of DTAs are subjected to a double threshold mechanism: if their amount is less than 10% of the CET1 Capital, they are weighted at 250%; if their amount added to the total investments in financial sector subjects is less than 17.65% they are weighted. If the amount of DTAs is greater than or the first or the second threshold, the amount in excess is deducted from CET1 Capital. 31

2.4 Focus on PPA

  • In 2016, following the acquisition of former Interbanca, Banca Ifis valued the performing and non performing loans of Interbanca by applying a market discount and a liquidity discount to reflect purchase price
  • The purchase price allocation (PPA) is written back with the progressive maturity/the disposal of Interbanca's loans
    • As at 31 Dec 21, the residual amount of pre-tax PPA was €33mln
