  • Binding offer to acquire from Mediobanca the entire equity of Revalea, subject to regulatory approval, for a consideration of €100mln. The €17mln badwill will be booked as PPA
  • As at 31 Dec 22, Revalea had a portfolio of unsecured small ticket NPLs of €6.8bn in terms of GBV (NBV of €256mln) bought by Mediobanca primarily from financial institutions in 2017-21. Mediobanca will continue to act as servicer to Revalea's NPL portfolio
  • The binding offer for Revalea has a strong strategic rationale for Banca Ifis:
    • o Achieving the NPL purchase targets of the 2022-24 Business Plan, 1Y in advance at an attractive IRR, allowing for rigorous selectivity going forward
    • o Negligible impact of calendar provisioning and benefits of Mediobanca financing
    • o Good quality / knowledge of Revalea NPL portfolio, as Banca Ifis acted as bidder in most of the competitive processes in which Mediobanca/Revalea participated
    • o Strengthening the partnership with Mediobanca with servicing capabilities and the purchase of consumer credit NPLs from Compass (wholly owned by Mediobanca)
  • The transaction confirms Banca Ifis's ability to execute complex and landmark NPL transactions, following the acquisition from Cerberus of a €2.8bn NPL portfolio
  • 30 • The impact of the transaction is estimated ca. 40bps in terms of CET1 relative to the Business Plan

2.2 Consolidated financial data

Customer loans

• 2Q23 customer loans at €10,114mln (+3% QoQ) driven by:
