    4. 2.3 Company overview

Net income of €33mln, flat YoY. 9M24 net income of €127mln (+2% YoY) 1

  • Revenues reflected the typical summer seasonality and the expected increase in cost of funding
  • To mitigate sensitivity to declining interest rates, Banca Ifis has strategically extended the duration of its government bond portfolio and expanded its new fixed-rate leasing business. These measures aim to enhance stability in interest income
  • In 3Q, we saw limited signs of asset quality deterioration, with the classification of specific exposures in certain industrial sectors
  • We confirm 2024 guidance of €160mln net income
  • Robust financial position, with €2.1bn in available cash. Notably, the bank completed its TLTRO repayment, having repaid €0.4 billion in Sept. 24 2
  • CET1 of 16.43% as of 30 Sept 24, including net income after deducting the dividends accrued in 9M24 3
  • €1.2 interim dividend per share to be paid on 20 Nov. 2024 (total €63mln)**. The ex-dividend date is on 18 Nov. 24 and the record date on 19 Nov. 24 4

*Includes counterbalancing capacity

Net revenues

  • Net revenues in 3Q24 at € 157mln (-4% YoY) due to cost of funding increase. Net revenues in 9M24 at €531,8 (+3.8% YoY)
  • 3Q24 net revenues breakdown:
    • o Commercial banking revenues at €93mln (€87mln in 2Q24, and €84mln in 3Q23) with commercial performance and pricing discipline offsetting cost of funding increase
    • o Npl revenues at €55mln (€86mln in 2Q24 and €66mln in 3Q23) due to marked seasonality in judicial and extrajudicial workout
    • o Non Core & G&S at €9mln (€16mln in 2Q24 and €14mln in 3Q23). Proprietary book confirmed as a recurrent and stable contribution to revenues

Mitigated net interest income sensitivity to the decrease in interest rates*

Net interest income sensitivity to -0.50% decrease in interest rate €mln

Actions started since the beginning of the year

Increased duration of overall proprietary bond portfolio from 2.3Y in Dec 23 to 3.3Y in Sept. 24 1

Increased origination of fixed rate leasing / total origination leasing from 29% in 9M23 to 80% in 9M24 2

Decreased deposits vs Bank of Italy from €0.9bn in March 24 to €0.4bn in Sept. 24 3

Commercial activity focused on profitability

  • Factoring: factoring turnover outperformed the market. Banca Ifis maintained its strong focus on profitability: 3Q24 factoring average spread at 3.98% (on top of base rate*)
  • Leasing: the tax incentives are providing some acceleration for the leasing market in 4Q24. The implementing decrees for the 'Industry 5.0' tax incentive were approved only in July, and thus far, they have not generated a significant impact due to their implementation complexity
    • o Equipment and technology leasing: we are seeing evidence of delays in SME capex decisions. Banca Ifis reported a slowdown in underwriting for the first 9M 2024, with a decline of -11% YoY, which is less severe than the market's decline of -16%. Focus on margins: 3Q24 equipment and technology leasing average spread at 3.7% (on top of base rate*), +0.11% up YoY
    • o Automotive leasing: Banca Ifis's strategy remains (i) premium/luxury segments (not volumes) (ii) price/margin discipline (iii) remarketing agreements in place. 3Q24 automotive leasing average spread at 3.97% (on top of base rate*), +0.06% up YoY

Npl portfolio exhibiting marked 3Q seasonality*

• Starting early 2024, Banca Ifis concentrated on Revalea purchase and integration (limited other portfolio acquisitions)

  • In 3Q24, Revalea contributed ca. €8mln*** (€9mln*** in 2Q24) in revenues and €14mln (€13mln in 2Q24) in cash collection
  • 3Q24 cash collections were also affected by longer timeframes in secured corporate segment

  • The QoQ change in asset quality ratios is mainly due to lower stocking of performing loans (factoring seasonality). Total Gross and Net Npe are roughly stable QoQ
  • 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) reaching €40mln in 3Q24 (€75mln in 2Q24)

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

Funds related to FITD 2

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. In addition:

• Operating costs exclude "Net allocations to provisions for risks and charges" , "Charges related to the banking system" and "Non recurring items"

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

CET1 of 16.43% as of 30 Sep 24, calculated including 9M net income and interim dividend (net of full year foreseeable dividend not paid out yet**)

Key items of CET1 evolution in 3Q24

  • +0.87% mainly due to RWA decrease. Key items (i) lower credit RWA reflecting seasonality in corporate banking (ca. -€306mln RWA), (ii) lower RWA linked to asset quality and NPL business (ca. -€79mln RWA) (iii) lower RWA due to the introduction of ECAI Fitch rating and others (ca. -€143mln RWA)
  • +0.24% mainly due to decrease in OCI reserve and re-introduction of prudential transitional filter on Government bonds as per Reg. (UE) 2024/1623

*In January 2024 Banca Ifis Group received from the Bank of Italy the communication of the new SREP requirements. The new requirements are CET1 9.0% and Total Capital 13.30% (including 1.0% of P2G). ** The dividend policy implies €77mln dividends in the first 9M24. Although only €63.1mln will be paid in Nov 2024, the difference of €13.5mln is deducted from CET1 13

Confirmed guidance of €160mln net income in 2024 Key trends in 2H24

  • Moderate loan demand as corporates are streamlining funding and the economy is slowing down, with growing competition in lending to high rating corporates 1
    • o Banca Ifis focus on profitability and successfully increased average spreads compared to previous year, while its customer loans remained substantially stable YoY contrasting with -2% YoY of the Italian market

The ECB has reduced interest rates by 0.75% since June 24 2

o Starting from 1Q24, Banca Ifis has decreased its sensitivity to interest rates reduction

Limited signs of asset quality deterioration, concentrated on specific sectors and a few exposures 3

  • o We have allocated overlays to targeted exposures. The Bank's overall asset quality risk is mitigated by our unique business model, characterized by strong portfolio diversification across sectors and borrowers, shortterm lending, and robust collateral management
  • o Risk outlook today still appears benign, but a normalization of cost of risk is expected

Contribution of NPL Business 4

  • o Following the acquisition of Revalea from Mediobanca, we achieved our NPL purchase targets for the 2022-24 Business Plan ahead of schedule. As anticipated, in 2024, we have adopted a more selective approach to NPL acquisitions
  • o In the medium term, to address the impact of calendar provisioning, we will partner with co-investors and share the profitability and the risk of the NPL business

Customer loans

    • 3Q24 customer loans at €10,090, -€374mln QoQ mainly due to normal seasonality in factoring (- €383mln QoQ)
    • Banca Ifis maintained disciplined in pricing and underwriting
    • Banca Ifis's customer loans are flat YoY in a context of lower loan demand (-2% YoY in the Italian market) as corporates are streamlining funding and the economy is slowing down
