Banca Ifis net income - €mln

  • Net income 2023 of €160mln at record high*
  • Exceeded 2023 Business Plan net income target by 17%
    • o Significant outperformance vs. Business Plan, net income target in both 2022 and 2023 met one year in advance
    • o Management overlays against macroeconomic and concentration risks unchanged
    • o Booked the costs for the integration of Revalea, offsetting the badwill
    • o Very solid financial position with €1.4bn of available cash** post €0.5bn TLTRO repayment carried out in Dec 23 (in advance vs. Sept 24 maturity)
  • €110mln total dividends in 2023 (€2.1 dividend per share), ca. +60% vs. Business Plan target. Of these, 63mln (€1.2 per share) were paid on 22 Nov. 23 and €47mln (€0.90 per share) will be paid on 23 May 24

4Q23 results

Net income of €35mln (vs. €34mln in 3Q23 and €36mln in 4Q22). FY23 net income at €160mln (+13% YoY) 1

  • Revenues at €192mln (+17% QoQ, +€28mln QoQ) with Commercial Banking confirming the solid performance of the previous quarters and NPL business picking up driven by NPL workout, the contribution of Revalea and capital gains on the disposal of certain tail portfolios 2
  • Operating costs at €119mln (+30% QoQ, +€27mln QoQ) mainly due to the renewal of the labour contract at national level, the integration of Revalea, variable costs linked to acceleration in NPL workout 3
  • Significant improvement in asset quality ratios: gross NPE ratio at 5.5% (6.1% in 3Q23) and net NPE ratio at 3.2% (3.9% in 3Q23) 4
  • Loan loss provisions at €22mln, including prudent provisions against specific exposures in commercial banking 5

Net revenues

  • stable YoY Net revenues at €192mln (17% QoQ and stable YoY)
    • 4Q23 net revenues breakdown:
      • o Commercial banking revenues at €86mln (€84mln in 3Q23 and €93mln in 4Q22) with strong commercial performance and pricing discipline more than offsetting cost of funding increase (4Q22 revenues were positively impacted by one-ff disposal in structured finance)
      • o Npl revenues* prove resilient at €92mln (€66mln in 3Q23 and €83mln in 4Q22) despite inflation and rates scenario. 4Q23 includes €5.5mln revenues from Revalea
      • o Non Core & G&S at €14mln confirming a recurrent and stable contribution to revenues (€14mln in 3Q23 and €15mln in 4Q22)
      • o Bank is delivering on objective to offset cost of funding increase

Commercial activity reflects market and 4Q typical seasonality

  • After strong growth in previous quarters, the factoring market is showing the first signs of deceleration due to economic cycle
  • Banca Ifis's growth is substantially in line with the market while maintaining underwriting and pricing discipline

*Euribor 3M (variable rates) or IRS (fixed rates)

  • Equipment ad technology: since late August, we are seeing first evidence of delays in SME capex decisions. Banca Ifis reported a growth above the market on the basis of commercial effectiveness. The renewal of tax incentives (Sabatini law) provided some acceleration for the leasing market in 4Q23
  • 7 • Automotive: Banca Ifis's strategy remains (i) premium/luxury segments (not volumes) (ii) price/margin discipline (iii) remarketing agreements in place. 4Q23 automotive leasing average spread at 3.93% (on top of base rate*), +0.3% up YoY

Npl portfolio performance resilient and well-positioned*

Revenues from judicial and extrajudicial recovery** (€mln)

  • In 2023, we registered a modest impact from higher interest rates and inflation on debtors. The bank keeps closely monitoring new voluntary plans in light of macroeconomic uncertainty
  • The Bank has continued the sale of tails of NPL portfolios for modest profits (sold GBV of €0.9bn in 4Q23, €0.7bn in 3Q23 and €0.7bn in 2Q23)

Data on these charts exclude Revalea contribution

*Source: management accounting data and risk management data

** It includes only interest income, excludes cost of funding and some minor items (i.e. net commission income and the gains on sales of receivables)

Asset quality confirmed and overlay fully expresses Bank's prudence

Loan loss provisions*

4Q23 LLP at €22mln includes €10mln provisions on specific structured finance positions mainly classified as UTP, under restructuring. Asset quality protected by stable overlays significantly above peers (>1% of performing loans)

  • Gross and Net Npe Ratio reduced to 4.5% and 2.3% excluding loans in past due vs. Italian public health system
  • The application of the New DoD led to the reclassification mainly into past due of the stock of loans vs. the Italian public health system (historically, a late payer with limited asset quality risk). Cash collection included the exposure to €74mln (down from €101mln in 3Q23)
  • In 4Q23 we booked a reduction in NPEs both from commercial banking and from loans vs. the public health system, both gross and net

Gross Npes Loans vs. the public health system in past due Net Npes excluding loans vs. the public health system in past due

*Figures include "Net provisions for unfunded commitments and guarantees and Profit (loss) from sale of loans measured at amortised cost (excluding Npl Segment)"

Capital ratios evolution

CET1 actual of 14.87% as of 31 Dec 23, calculated including FY net income and dividend

Key items of CET1 evolution in 4Q23

  • +8bps due to the increase in OCI reserves (+17bps) partially offset by intangible assets (- 7bps) and other reserves (-2bps)
  • -74bps due to +€498mln of RWA ("capital put to work"):
    • o The increase in credit risk mainly driven by volume growth in factoring and the consolidation of Revalea (+€447mln RWA)
    • o The increase in operational risk (+€112mln RWA)

o The decrease in market risk (-€62mln RWA)

*In January 2024 Banca Ifis Group received from the Bank of Italy the communication of the new SREP requirements. The new requirements, CET1 9.0%, Total Capital 13.30% (including 1.0% of P2G), will be applied starting from 31 March 2024. As at 31 December 2023, SREP requirements were: CET1 8.65%, Total Capital 12.9% (including 0.75% of P2G) 13

2024 net income target of ca. €160mln confirmed

The macroeconomic environment in Italy is expected to be more challenging than in 2023. What we see:

  • Macroeconomic slowdown, but no recession
  • Disinflation trend in progress
  • No sign of widespread asset quality deterioration, with first anecdotal issues in highly leveraged / low margin corporate or specific sectors
  • Aggregate cost of funding still progressively increasing, but manageable thanks to diversification of sources
  • Corporates remaining cautious on capex and loan demand, and banks more selective on lending (therefore more pricing discipline)
  • Significant commercial opportunities for us in all commercial banking sectors (also leveraging on digital platforms)
  • Capital markets opportunities deriving from book gains in the proprietary portfolio

Banca Ifis confirms 2024 net income target of ca. €160mln assuming no significant deterioration in macroeconomic and geopolitical environment

*Assuming no significant deterioration in macroeconomic and geopolitical environment

  • 4Q23 factoring turnover +2% YoY and +9% QoQ, leveraging on Banca Ifis commercial know how
  • Net revenues / average customer loans at 6.5%, reflecting Banca Ifis discipline on margins. In December there was a strong demand for factoring driven by seasonality and our commercial activity. As these loans are usually granted in December, they do not provide full benefits in 4Q, but will persist for some time also in 1Q24 2

  • Prudent funding policy impacting profitability
  • * Interest income excludes NPL Business, Non Core and Treasury ** Cost of funding peak in 2Q22 is driven by the «Additional Special Period» (TLTRO)

Proprietary portfolio: resilient contribution to P&L

  • Low duration level
  • Strategical use (at around 76% of total assets* in 4Q23) of HTC to reduce proprietary portfolio volatility
