EXCELLENT LIQUIDITY POSITION, WITH UNENCUMBERED ELIGIBLE ASSETS OF € 18.7 BILLION
1On 1 January 2018, the new accounting standard IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting of financial instruments came into effect, replacing the accounting standard IAS 39. As specifically permitted by IFRS 9 (par. 7.2.15), Banco BPM elected not to restate the prior year's balances. Hence, certain data referred to 31 December 2018 are not comparable with the prior year's data, since they have been calculated with different measurement criteria.
2 On 10 December 2018 the Parent Company accepted the binding offer received from Elliott International L.P. and Credito Fondiario S.p.A. related to the purchase of a portfolio of bad loans with a total value of € 7.4 billion (the amounts make reference to the nominal exposures existing as of 30 June 2018, portfolio situation subject to analysis by the potential investors). From an accounting point of view the derecognition of the loans being sold, which at 31 December 2018 were presented in the balance sheet item "Non-current assets and asset disposal groups held for sale", will be completed by the end of the first half of 2019. The estimate of the economic impacts of the transaction in terms of an increase in provisions has however already been debited to the income statement of financial year 2018 in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standards of reference. In the context of the present news release the comments on the situation of the Group's loans at 31 December 2018 make reference only to loans presented in the item "loans carried at amortised cost", excluding therefore the bad loans being sold, provisionally still recognised in the item "Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale".
OPERATING INCOME € 4,773 MILLION (€ 4,484 MILLION AT 31 DECEMBER 2017, +6.4%)
OPERATING COSTS € 2,793 MILLION (€ 2,924 MILLION AT 31 DECEMBER 2017, -4.5%)

Verona, 6 February 2019 – The Board of Directors of Banco BPM met today chaired by Mr. Carlo Fratta Pasini. The Board approved the draft separate and consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2018 of Banco BPM.
With financial year 2018 a derisking programme was completed which was much more aggressive with respect to the original objectives of the Plan. It was implemented by the new Group to align with and, as regards bad loans, to exceed the targets of the best competitors in the banking market. Together with the robust improvement of the Group's lending profile the ambitious rationalisation process was also completed, recognising in the financial year all the cost items of an extraordinary nature, in order to enable Banco BPM to enter into the new financial year 2019 with no encumbrances deriving from the integration processes and with full capacity to generate income.
The achievement of these more ambitious objectives entailed the assumption of important decisions that led to doubling the volumes of sale of bad loans with respect to those provided for in the context of the strategic plan through completion at the end of the first half of the securitisation transaction entitled "Exodus Project" involving € 5.1 billion of nominal loans and the signing at the end of the financial year of the agreement with Credito Fondiario and Elliott International L.P. which provides for the performance of a new securitisation transaction ("ACE Project") by the end of the first half of 2019 which will make it possible to derecognise a further € 7.4 billion of nominal loans.
This impressive effort entailed significant extraordinary economic impacts on the cost of cost of credit of the financial year which required the implementation at the same time of equally important capital management actions in order to maintain a solid financial position. This need combined very well with the activities of rationalisation and reorganisation of the Group's business already provided for in the strategic plan.
This was the context also of the formalisation, on 20 December 2018, of an agreement between Banco BPM as one party and Crédit Agricole SA, Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance SA and Agos Ducato as the other, which defines the sale to Agos Ducato of the subsidiary ProFamily, after completion of the demerger of all ProFamily's non-captive activities in favour of a newlyincorporated company 100% controlled by Banco BPM. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2019, in exchange for a price of € 310 million.
The agreement, which reconfirms also the current partnership for the next 15 years, strengthens the leadership and the market shares of the investee Agos Ducato.
In the first half of the year the restructuring of the Bancassurance segment had besides already been completed (both with the partial sales of the stakes held in the insurance joint ventures and the launch of a strategic partnership between Banco BPM and Cattolica with a duration of 15 years, and with the sale to Anima SGR of the mandates for delegated management of the insurance assets carried out on behalf of the associated companies that are vehicles of the insurance partnership) and of the Group's Private, Corporate and Investment Banking activities (through distinct demerger operations that led to the centralisation of the Private Banking activities in Banca Aletti and the Corporate & Investment Banking activities in Banca Akros).
The same strand also included the sale to BNP Paribas Securities Services of the depositary bank and fund administration activities, completed in September.
The raising of the level of customer service entailed the definition of a new Branch Network model (on stream from 1 January 2018) which brought the decision-making process closer to local areas and therefore to households and businesses. In this context the need was also identified to rationalise the distribution network eliminating territorially overlapping branches (resulting from the merger). This action entailed the closure of 518 branches during the year.
The merger into the Parent company Banco BPM of the subsidiaries BPM S.p.A., Società Gestione Servizi BP S.C.p.A. and BP Property Management S.C.a r.l. fall within the scope of the reorganisation of the Group's structure and operations. The incorporation of BPM S.p.A. was completed in November, while the mergers of the two consortia will take legal effect from 11 February 2019.
Despite the financial year being therefore mainly oriented to getting the bank into the best condition for developing its future operations, the economic results confirm the good performance of the fundamentals of the core business.
Net interest income came out at € 2,292.6 million. This figure is not fully comparable with that of the prior year, as—following the adoption of IFRS 9—net interest income is affected by the positive reclassification of reversals further to the write-backs from discounting bad loans to present value which, until 31st December 2017, were reported under write-downs on loan impairments and by the negative reclassification from the calculation of interest on impaired exposures (unlikely to pay and past due) based on the recoverable value of these loans and not on their nominal value. Considering these reclassifications and the effects of PPA, net interest income stands at € 2,078.0 million, compared to € 2,054.7 million in 2017(+1.2%)7. The contribution for the fourth quarter of 2018 is € 554.7 million, substantially consistent with the third quarter of 2018 (€ 557.8 million), due to the growth in volumes and the lower cost of funding, which compensated for the lower spread on loans. The gain on investments in associates carried under the equity method came to € 159.5 million, down from € 166 million last year, driven by the lower contribution from insurance companies, also as a result of the reduced shareholding. The fourth quarter contribution was € 50.7 million, up compared to the € 32.8 million reported in the third quarter. Within this aggregate, the main contribution was provided by consumer credit of € 126 million conveyed by the shareholding in Agos Ducato (last
year's contribution was € 116.2).
Net fees and commissions added up to € 1,848.8 million, down by 5.2% compared to 2017, when net fees and commissions stood at € 1,950.4 million, yet up by 4.1% QoQ, driven by the diversification across the different business areas (for example, lending fees and fees for collection and payment services).
Other net operating income totalled € 389.8 million, and it includes the € 313.6 million in capital gains generated by the sale to BNP Paribas Securities Services of the depositary bank and fund administration business line (€ 200.0 million) and the sale to Anima SGR of the sub-advisory mandates of insurance assets carried out on behalf of the insurance joint-ventures tied to the bancassurance network of former Banco Popolare (€ 113.6 million). Net of these components, the aggregate adds up to € 76.1 million (€ 98.8 million at 31 December 2017).
Net financial income totalled € 82.4 million compared to € 155.0 million last year. This includes the write-down of an indirect exposure held through the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund for € 27.9 million. The lower income is a result of greater volatility in some measuring components following the introduction of IFRS 9 (instruments required to be assessed at fair value), as well as of the effects of strategies aimed at hedging the risks associated with the exposures classed among the assets measured at fair value which affect overall profitability. This lower economic result should therefore be considered along with the change in valuation reserves for such financial assets.
As a result, total operating income amounted to € 4,772.9 million (+6,4% compared to 2017). Considering the previously mentioned non-recurring items, this figure stands at € 4,487.2 million.
Personnel expenses, at € 1,732.8 million, decreased 2.9% compared to € 1,784.9 million last year, with a fourth quarter contribution of € 422.2 million, continuing the downward trend of the first three quarters of the year (€ 431.5 million for the third quarter). Personnel costs have been trending down as a result of the headcount reduction (- 1,016 resources compared to 31 December 2017). The total
7Data compiled on a uniform basis, also excluding the extraordinary component benefiting 2017 wherein the interest income from the TLTRO-II loans was recorded for the 2016 financial year.
headcount was 22,247 employees at 31 December 2018, compared to 23,263 at the end of 2017 (24,608 at 31 December 2016).
Other administrative expenses8 amounted to € 816.5 million, down 6.4% compared to last year. Excluding non-recurring items, at 31 December 2018, other administrative expenses amounted to € 793.8 million, down by 6.0% compared to December 2017 (€ 844.3 million), thanks to the rigorous cost control. Administrative expenses equalled € 205.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and includes around € 12.2 million of non-recurring expenses associated with integrating and streamlining the distribution network.
Net value adjustments on property and equipment and investment property and intangible assets for the financial year amounted to € 243.5 million, down 8.8% compared to € 266.9 million as at 31 December 2017, as a result of the rationalisation of the Group's IT system. Adjustments in the fourth quarter amounted to € 97.1 million and include € 51.2 million of non-ordinary value adjustments mainly due to the adjustment of the book value of some non-operating properties to the lower value shown by the most recent appraisals acquired.
Total operating expenses, amounting to € 2,792.8 million were down by 4.5% compared to 2017; in the fourth quarter this figure amounted to € 725.0 million, up compared to the third quarter for the non-recurring items indicated above.
Net these components, operating expenses were € 2,717.4 million, down 4.5% compared to the previous year. Also on a quarterly basis, the figure net of non-recurring items decreased by 1.6% compared to the previous quarter.
Net adjustments to customer loans amounted to € 1,941.1 million (€ 1,661.0 million as at 31 December 2017). This total was also affected by the application of IFRS 9, both for the new impairment model introduced and for the reclassifications already described with respect to interest margins. Excluding these reclassifications, the figure as at 31 December 2018 stood at € 1,750.2 million (€ 1,661.0 million in 2017). The large-scale disposals of receivables mentioned above relating to the Exodus and ACE projects resulted in the recognition of value adjustments closely linked to the acceleration of the derisking process and which, therefore, are not representative of the ordinary management of impaired loans.
Net of these impacts, which amounted to € 713.9 million, net value adjustments amounted to € 1,227.2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjustments amounted to € 987.3 million. The normalised figure (net of the impact of the ACE project) was € 327.4 million.
The cost of credit, measured as the ratio between net adjustments to loans (excluding reclassifications introduced by IFRS 9) net of the extraordinary impacts previously indicated and net investments (including loans classified as discontinued operations), was 98 b.p., compared to 154 b.p.9 in the previous year;
On the balance sheet for the year, the item Net write-downs of securities and other financial assets included net recoveries of € 3.3 million (as at 31 December 2017 net adjustments stood at 140.2 million, and included the impairment of the stakes held in the Atlante Fund and other exposures to Venetian banks, as well as the charges relating to the activities of the Voluntary Scheme of the Interbank Deposit Guarantee Fund - Fondo Interbancario di Tutela dei Depositi).
Net provisions for risks and charges amounted to € 345.3 million and include: the provisions aimed at monitoring the charges that could arise from the settlement, with a view to customer care, of disputes and complaints, even prospective ones, including those deriving from the reporting activity carried out in past financial years of customers interested in purchasing diamonds from the company Intermarket Diamond Business S.p.A., a company declared bankrupt by the Court of Milan on January 10, 2019; the estimated charges to be incurred for the closure of the 518 branches during
8 The aggregate does not include the "banking industry charges" represented by the contributions to the Resolution Funds and to the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund, reported in a separate line-item of the reclassified income statement, net of tax effect.
9 This figure is not fully comparable as IFRS 9 introduced a new model of impairment on loans.
the year, based, among other, on the rents due over the lease term deemed to be non-cancellable, the costs to dismantle and restore the premises; non-recurring allowances originating from the recomputation of terms and conditions applied to customers for underwriting and credit lines fees dating back to prior years and recalculated based on parameters recently introduced by more stringent regulations and interpretation notes issued by the supervisory authorities.
In the 2018 financial year, € 173.4 million of gains on disposal of equity and other investments were reported, almost entirely related to the impact of the Bancassurance business, with the sale to Cattolica Assicurazioni of the control of the two insurance companies Popolare Vita (now Vera Vita) and Avipop Assicurazioni (now Vera Assicurazioni).
As a result of all the above dynamics, the income from continuing operations before tax and before banking industry charges came to € 129.7 million compared to the loss of € 229.6 million recorded in the previous year.
Income taxes for the period on continuing operations as at 31 December 2018 were positive for € 162.8 million (€ 92.8 million at 31 December 2017) and include the impact of the recognition of new deferred tax assets for € 64.0 million as a result of the changes introduced by the Budget Law regarding the rules governing the deductibility of the impacts of the first-time adoption of IFRS 9.
Charges related to the banking system, net of taxes were charged to the balance sheet for the year at € 100.2 million (€ 77.3 million in the same period last year), including the ordinary contributions to the Single Resolution Fund SRF amounting to € 68.1 million gross (€ 62.4 million gross as at 31 December 2017), and to the Interbank Deposit Guarantee Fund of € 45.2 million (€ 44.5 million as at 31 December 2017), plus the additional extraordinary contributions to the Single Resolution Fund amounting to € 25.5 million gross, which had not been incurred in the previous year.
Considering the share of the economic result attributable to minority shareholders (+€ 9.6 million), the net result before impairment was equal to € -56.5 million, compared to the net result without Badwill and impairment of € 557.8 million achieved in the previous year, mainly driven by the sale of Aletti Gestielle SGR.
Impairment tests carried out as at 31 December 2018 on goodwill and other intangibles led to the recognition of adjustments to the value of the client relationship of € 2.9 million net of taxes; in the previous year, adjustments to goodwill and the client relationship of € 1,017.6 million net of taxes were recognised.
The 2018 financial year therefore closed with a net result of € -59.4 million; in the previous year the Badwill that emerged following the completion of the PPA process, amounting to € 3,076.1 million, brought the net result to € 2,616.4 million.
Excluding the non-recurring items listed in detail in paragraph 5 of the explanatory notes, the "normalised" net result was positive and amounted to € 342.8 million.
Direct funding10 as at 31 December 2018, recorded on a like-for-like basis (recalculating the data as at 31 December 2017 excluding the funds that guaranteed the custodian bank activities sold in 2018), reported a positive trend in the checking accounts and demand deposits component (+ € 4.3 billion compared to +5,8% as at year-end 2017). As a whole, the aggregate amounted to € 101.5

billion and registered a decrease of 2.0% compared to the data pro-forma at the start of the year. The decrease was affected by the reduction in other more expensive funding sources.
Indirect funding, net of capital protected certificates, amounted to € 84.8 billion.
Assets under administration came to € 29.0 billion. With regard to this aggregate, the exit of a institutional client with administered assets of € 4.8 billion should be noted, characterised by very low margins and a decline mainly driven by the negative market performance which weighed on the value of the assets under administration.
Net of the above effects, administered assets rose compared to the end of December 2017 (+ € 1.7 billion) and 30 September of last year (+€ 2.1 billion).
The managed assets component amounted to € 55.7 billion, down by 5.8% compared to the € 59.1 billion of 31 December 2017. Excluding the effect from the reduction in market listings of financial assets, which were particularly affected in the fourth quarter, total funds and SICAVs recorded a growth of € 1.9 billion compared to the start of the year.
Financial assets totalled € 36.9 billion, up by 6.7% compared to € 34.5 billion as at 31 December 2017. This aggregate comprises € 32.9 billion of debt securities, € 1.8 billion of equity securities and UCITS units and € 1.9 billion of derivatives measured at fair value. Following the introduction of IFRS9, financial assets include also loans and advances mandatorily measured at fair value (amounting to € 0.3 billion).
The overall increase compared to the end of 2017 is due to the growth in debt securities classified in the "Hold to Collect" portfolio (up € 3.4 billion). Government securities were € 27.5 billion11 (up € 2.3 billion compared to 31 December 2017); diversification in this context continued: the impact of Italian government securities fell to 64.1% of total government securities compared to 82.1% in December 2017, with a significant reduction in securities classified as HTCS (- €1.2 billion). The widening of the Italian government securities spread caused the reduction in total gross reserves on debt securities held in the Hold to Collect & Sell portfolio from + € 165 million reported as at 31 December 2017 to - € 196 million as at 31 December 2018.
Net loans to customers12 amounted to € 104,0 billion as at 31 December 2018, a decrease of € 3.7 billion compared to the figure as at 31 December 2017, as a result of the disposals of non-performing loans carried out during the year and the IFRS 9 adjustments mainly to NPLs. The aggregate of performing loans rose by € 1.1 billion (+1,2%) compared to 31 December 2017; considering the effect of senior securities subscribed as part of the disposal of Exodus loans, performing loans increased to € 97.3 billion, up 2.7% compared to 31 December 2017.
The value of net bad loans transferred as part of the ACE project (in relation to which at the closing date of the financial statements the requirements for accounting derecognition do not apply) is recorded under the item "Non-current assets and asset disposal groups held for sale" for a value of € 1,330 million, aligned with the sale price.
Net non-performing loans (bad loans, unlikely to pay and past due and/or non-performing overdue excluding loans being sold) amount to 6.7 billion euro as at 31 December 2018, a decrease of -26.3% compared to 30 September and down -48.4% (6.3 billion) on 31 December 2017. The reduction in the

12The aggregate does not include customer loans that, following the adoption of IFRS 9, must mandatorily be measured at fair value. These loans, amounting to € 294 million, are included in financial assets measured at fair value.
aggregate derives from the the disposals carried out in the year, as well as the adoption of IFRS 9 which led to further adjustments to bad loans, and the constant and significant work-out activities.
An analysis of the individual items shows the following changes:
The coverage rate for the entire impaired loans aggregate was 43.1%, compared to 48.8% as at 31 December 2017 as a result of the disposals made.
More specifically, as at 31 December 2018, the coverage rate was as follows:
The coverage ratio of performing loans was 0.38%, up compared to the 0.32% reported as at 31 December 2017 and stable compared to 30 September of last year (0.39%). Net of repurchase agreements, which are essentially risk free, the coverage level for performing loans rose to 0.41% (0.34% as at 31 December 2017 and 0.41% as at the end of September 2018). The coverage ratio increase is mainly due to the adoption of the new impairment model provided for by IFRS 9.
Negative equity impact caused by the important de-risking action on the situation as at 31 December 2018 were offset by the capital management actions launched on the basis of the agreements signed with counterparties which are due to be finalised by 30 June 2019.
Considering the pro-forma impacts anticipated as a result of said actions13, the predicted pro-forma Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CETI ratio phased in)14 is 13.5% (the actual figure stood at 12.1% as at 31 December 2018). The pro-forma CET 1 ratio fully phased was 11.5% (actual figure 10.0% as at 31 December 2018).
The Tier 1 ratio was 12.3% (13.7% pro-forma), while total capital ratio was 14.7% (16.2% pro-forma).

Following the information disclosed to the market on 10 December 2018, Banco BPM S.p.A. announced that, on today's date, in the context of the "ACE Project", the securitisation process was
13 The pro-forma data do not include any estimates of the impacts that may derive from the adoption of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019.
14 "Phased in" refers to ratios calculated in consideration of the benefit arising from the option for the full application of the transitional guidelines introduced with Article 473-bis of EU Regulation no. 575/2013, which dilutes over time the impact on own funds deriving from the application of the new impairment model introduced by standard IFRS 9. "Fully phased" refers to ratios calculated excluding the impacts deriving from the application of said option.
completed through the issue by the SPE "Leviticus SPV S.r.l." of the following classes of securities (ABS - Asset-Backed Securities):
The senior securities, which will have a coupon of 6M Euribor + 0.6%, were given a rating of BBB (SF) by the ratings agencies DBRS and Scope Ratings. In relation to these senior securities, the procedure for the issue by the Italian State of the guarantee on senior securities pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 18/2016 ("GACS") is currently being activated.
The initiative forms an integral part of the total transaction envisaged by the agreement signed on 10 December 2018 with Credito Fondiario and funds managed by Elliott Management ("Elliott"), which considers the launch of a dedicated debt recovery partnership, 30% owned by Banco BPM and the remaining 70% by Credito Fondiario. By executing this agreement, Elliot undertakes to acquire 95% of the junior and mezzanine shares issued by the SPE "Leviticus"; the finalisation of the disposal of securities and the consequent de-recognition of the debts are envisaged to coincide with the conclusion of the transaction (currently scheduled for 31 May and in any case no later than 30 June), without prejudice to the right of the parties to advance the execution date for the disposal of the securities, which will enable the Banco BPM Group to collect an amount equal to 23.6% of the disposed loans.
Once the derecognition of the loans is complete, the nominal value of the disposal of nonperforming loans carried out by Banco BPM from the date of publication of the industrial plan prepared in the context of the merger will have reached a value of over 17 million, more than twice the original target; the combination of the two most recent transactions (the Ace and Exodus projects) will enable a reduction in stock of 72.5% compared to year-end 2017, at a total cost of 28.3%, a very high figure when compared to those disclosed by other brokers for transactions of a similar scale.
The transaction was structured by the team of Deutsche Bank and Banca Akros as Arrangers; Deloitte assisted Banco BPM as Industrial Advisor while Chiomenti and Riolo Calderaro Crisostomo provided legal support to Banco BPM and the Arrangers respectively.
The global macro-economic scenario shows increasing signs of a slowdown, particularly in the Eurozone, due in particular to trade wars and the consequent increase in protectionist measures.
The deceleration of global GDP towards +3% will negatively impact investments but will also affect consumer trust and willingness to spend, contributing to the possible emergence of financial tensions and weaknesses in more fragile economies.
In this context, growth forecasts for Italy in 2019 have recently been downgraded to +0.5%, considering the entry into a phase of technical recession characterised by reductions in investments, family consumption and the contribution of the international component.
At present, the anticipated modest expansion of private sector, business and particularly manufacturing loans is on track, with a simultaneous improvement in debt quality, also as a result of the progressive de-risking actions currently being implemented across the entire banking sector. Under this profile, the Group has achieved much higher results than anticipated.
Consequently, considering the completion of the actions aimed at the reorganisation of the commercial network, the rationalisation of its presence in the corporate and investment banking sector and the restructuring of the partnerships in the asset management, bancassurance and consumer credit sectors, which led to the evolution of business scope, the Group will approve a new strategic plan by the end of the year.
In the year 2019 the operational focus will concentrate on ordinary management, aiming mainly at a return to profitability through the benefits deriving from the synergic effects of the merger and the aforementioned de-risking and restructuring activities.
Net of the reduction in positive items on the interest margin related to the PPA and the adoption of IFRS 9 following the reduction in volumes of non-performing loans, revenue performance should benefit from the likely reduction in competitive pressures on margins, the positive trend of lending volumes, the low average cost of funds operated through commercial networks, and the positive contribution of investees, while commissions, particularly those relating to management, brokering and consultancy services, and the net financial result could be partially affected by the uncertainty and volatility of the markets, particularly should tensions re-emerge with regard to domestic securities.
The curbing of operating costs through efficiency gains will remain a key focus of attention.
Following the significant reduction in non-performing exposures and the decline in non-performing loans received, the cost of credit is expected to fall significantly against a high level of coverage.
The decline in stock will continue through internal work-out activities which, as predicted, will form the platform for the recovery of NPLs in partnership with Credito Fondiario.

The balance sheet and income statement layouts contained in this news release have been reclassified along management criteria in order to provide an indication on the Group's overall performance based on easily and rapidly measurable operating and financial data.
The layouts have been prepared based on the financial statement layouts indicated in the Bank of Italy's Circular no. 262/2005, that were updated on 22 December 2017, to implement the accounting standards IFRS9 and IFRS 15.
The new financial instruments accounting categories under IFRS 9 called for some changes to the reclassified statements compared to those presented up until 31 December 2017, as illustrated below.
More precisely, the prior aggregates called "Financial assets and hedging derivatives", "Due from banks" and "Loans to customers" have been replaced by the following new aggregates:
No material changes are to be reported with respect to the reclassified liabilities line-items; the previous aggregate "Due to customers, debt securities in issue and financial liabilities designated at fair value" has been renamed as "Direct funding", and broken down into "Deposits from customers" (liabilities line-item 10 b) of the Bank of Italy's template) and "Debt securities in issue and financial liabilities designated at fair value" (liabilities line-items 10 c and 30) of the Bank of Italy's template).
For the remaining line-items of the reclassified balance sheet, the aggregation criteria illustrated in the 2017 consolidated financial statements have remained unchanged.
As to the reclassified income statement, the adoption of IFRS 9 required the redefinition of aggregates relating to the net financial result and to impairment losses, based on the new financial instrument categories and the associated measurement criteria. Below a bridge is provided between the new line-items and the income statement prepared in accordance with the Bank of Italy's Circular no. 262:
For the remaining line-items of the reclassified income statement, the aggregation criteria illustrated in the 2017 consolidated financial statements have remained unchanged, except for what illustrated in Note no. 3.
The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2018 have been prepared in compliance with the IAS/IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and the related interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Commission and effective on 30 September 2018, pursuant to EC Regulation no. 1606 of 19 July 2002.
The new accounting standards IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 have come into effect on 1 January 2018. They regulate the accounting treatment of financial instruments and of revenues from services provided to customers as part of the ordinary business. Gruppo Banco BPM elected not to restate the comparatives, but rather to adjust the opening balance of the consolidated shareholders' equity. Hence, the first-time adoption of the accounting standards IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 caused a 1,071.4 million decline in the opening balance of the consolidated shareholders' equity at 1 January 2018, which came to € 10,892.2 million; this reduction was mainly driven by the new financial asset impairment model based on expected losses.
It should be pointed out that the adoption of certain accounting standards necessarily calls for the use of estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet. The assumptions used to calculate estimates take into account all available information upon preparing the annual report as at 31 December 2018. Considering the uncertainty characterizing the reference environment, it cannot be ruled out that the estimates and assumptions, albeit reasonable, may fail to be confirmed in the future scenarios in which the Group may be operating. Therefore, future actual results may differ from the estimates generated to prepare the annual report as at 31 December 2018, calling for adjustments that cannot be predicted or estimated today against the carrying amount of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet.
In compliance with IFRS 3, the income statement of Gruppo Banco BPM includes the P&L effects caused by the allocation of the prices paid for the business combination with Gruppo Banca Popolare di Milano completed in FY 2017 and for the acquisitions of Gruppo Banca Popolare Italiana and Gruppo Banca Italease, completed in FY 2007 and 2009, respectively.
The overall positive effect on the 2018 consolidated net income, generated by the reversal of the value adjustments of acquired net assets, came to € 60.1 million (primarily referred to the former Gruppo Banca Popolare di Milano).
Starting with the Half-yearly Financial Report as at 30 June 2018, the line-item "After-tax banking industry charges" has been added to the Reclassified Income Statement. This line-item will include ordinary and extraordinary charges due by banks under the single and national resolution funds (SRF and NRF) and of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS). As at 31 December 2018, the line-item included:
Net of tax effect, the above charges totaled € 100.2 million (€ 77.3 million at 31 December 2017).
No significant changes in the consolidation scope of fully owned subsidiaries were reported over the year. As to associates, following the reorganization of the Bancassurance business line, completed in Q1 2018 with the agreements entered with Cattolica Assicurazioni, the Group reduced its shareholdings in the two insurance companies by 15%. At 31 December 2018, the Group held a 35% stake in Vera Vita S.p.A (previously called Popolare Vita, in which the Group held a 50% share) and in Vera Assicurazioni S.p.A (previously called Avipop Assicurazioni, in which the Group held a 50% stake).
2018 results have been affected by several significant and to a reasonable extent one-off events, mostly tied to the implementation of the Business Plan, in particular in terms of de-risking. More specifically, in 2018 the Group completed the reorganization of the bancassurance activities, the sale of the depositary bank business line, it capped off the reorganization of its asset management arm through the sale of the sub-advisory contracts for insurance assets, and it streamlined the branch network, closing a staggering number of branches. As regards the de-risking strategy, the Group took major actions to reduce the NPL stock, with a first sale closed at the end of the first half (the "Exodus" deal, which saw the disposal of a nominal amount of roughly € 5.1 billion of bad loans), and a second deal which is being finalized at the date of this news release (the "ACE" deal, whereby in the coming months roughly an additional nominal amount of € 7.4 billion of bad loans will be sold).
To evaluate the operating results generated by the Group's business-as-usual operations, a "normalized" income statement has been prepared, to exclude the impacts from the above-described reorganization/streamlining/de-risking processes, in addition to the ordinary items usually classified as extraordinary or non-recurring, and this also with respect to valuationbased income statement items, such as "net write-downs of loans and advances to customers" and "net allowances to provisions for risks and charges".
Illustrated below are the line-by-line income components of the reclassified income statement that have been excluded when preparing the "normalized" 2018 income statement:
Overall, taking into account the negative minority interest effects (€ - 2.3 million) and the result tied to disposed assets (€ + 0,9 million), the mathematical balance of the income components accrued in 2018 that were not included in the "normalized" income statement works out to - € 399.3 million. The resulting "normalized" net income comes to € 342.8 million.
On 1 January 2014, the new harmonized prudential rules for banks and investment firms contained in the Capital Requirements Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 ("CRR") and in the Capital Requirements Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV") of 26 June 2013, transposing the banking supervisory standards defined by the Basel Committee (Basel 3 framework) in the European Union, have come into effect. The Regulation and its technical rules are directly applicable in national legislations and represent the so called "Single Rulebook".
The minimum capital requirements for 2018 are:
Please note that on 4 October 2016, the Bank of Italy, with Update no. 18 of Circular no. 285, brought the CCB down to 1.875% for 2018.
With communication of 21 September 2018, the Bank of Italy confirmed the Countercyclical Capital Buffer ratio at zero per cent for Q4 2018. The zero percent ratio has been confirmed also for Q1 2019 (see Bank of Italy Communication dated 21 December 2018).
With communication of 30 November 2017, the Bank of Italy identified the banking group Banco BPM as an 'Other Systemically Important Institution' (O-SII). The 2018 O-SII reserve is equal to zero, while Banco BPM is required to gradually build up a reserve equal to 0.25% with linear increments beginning on 1 January 2019 up until 1 January 2022.
On 27 December 2017, the European Central Bank (ECB) notified Banco BPM its final decision on the minimum capital ratios that Banco BPM is required to comply with on an ongoing basis.
The decision is based on the supervisory review and evaluation (SREP) conducted in accordance with art. 4(1)(f) of EU Regulation no. 1024/2013.
Hence, in compliance with art. 16(2)(a) of the same Regulation no. 1024/2013, which gives the ECB the power to require that supervised banks hold an amount of own funds greater than the minimum capital requirements provided for under the current regulations, a 2.50% top-up was added to the above requirements.
Taking into account the SREB CCB requirements, at consolidated level Gruppo Banco BPM must comply with the following capital ratios:
By the required deadline (1 February 2018), Banco BPM informed the European Central Bank that it elected to fully apply the transitional provision under the new article 473 bis of EU Regulation no. 575/2013, which phases in the impact on own funds generated by the adoption of the new impairment model introduced by IFRS9. Under the transitional provision, it is possible to include a transitional positive component to the Tier 1 capital by a percentage of the increase in expected loan loss provisions further to the adoption of IFRS 9. The percentage decreases over time over a 5-year period, as described below:
Beginning on 1 January 2023 the impact from the first-time adoption of IFRS 9 will be fully recognized in the calculation of own funds.
In addition to the possibility of phasing in the impact from the first-time adoption of the accounting standard on 1 January 2018, the transitional provision gives the possibility to phase in any impacts that the implementation of the new impairment model may cause also in the following few years after the first-time adoption of the new accounting standard, albeit limited to impacts from the measurement of performing financial assets. At 31 December 2018, the latter option (called "dynamic approach") has not been adopted.
The estimates of the Group's capital ratios, all other things being equal, had it not elected to exercise the above option, are defined in brief "IFRS9 fully-phased". The capital ratios called "IFRS9 phase-in" instead are calculated based on the estimated capital ratios.
The table below provides an illustration of the Group's sovereign risk exposure at 31 December 2018, represented by debt securities, broken down by single Country and by category of the classification accounting portfolio:
| 31 December 2018 (million euro) Countries/Accounting portfolios |
Fin. ass. measured at amortized cost |
Fin. ass. measured at fair value through other comprehensive income |
Fin. ass. measured at fair value through profit or loss |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 10.337 | 6.563 | 752 | 17.652 |
| USA | 2.352 | 1.504 | - | 3.856 |
| France | 1.083 | 2.097 | - | 3.180 |
| Germany | 379 | 576 | - | 955 |
| Spain | 643 | 910 | - | 1553 |
| Other Countries | 288 | 50 | - | 338 |
| Total | 15.082 | 11.700 | 752 | 27.534 |
At 31 December 2018, the Group's sovereign debt exposure totaled € 27.5 billion (€ 25.2 billion at 31 December 2017), of which 54.8% classified in the portfolio of financial assets measured at amortized cost, 42.5% under financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and 2.7% in the portfolio of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss as they were held for trading.
Out of this exposure, about 86% refers to securities issued by members of the European Union; more specifically about 64% by Italy.
With regard to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, at 31 December 2018 the reserves generated by the fair value measurement totaled - € 0.14 billion, gross of tax effect, and refer almost exclusively to Italian Government bonds.
As to financial assets measured at amortized cost, the book value came out at € 15.1 billion, of which € 10.3 represented by Italian government bonds. For information purposes only, note that the fair value of the government bonds classified in this accounting category, measured based on the market prices at 31 December 2018, (level 1 in the fair value classification) totaled € 14.9 billion (€ 10.2 billion being the fair value of the Italian government bonds alone).
Finally, note that in FY 2018, Gruppo Banco BPM did not change its business model, hence no financial assets reclassification has been reported across the different accounting categories.
The reclassified balance sheet and income statement reflect on a consolidated basis the financial accounts of Banco BPM and its subsidiaries with respect to 31 December 2018, or, when not available, to the most recently approved financial reports. Similarly, the equity method-based treatment of associates was carried out based on the accounting information submitted to Banco BPM as at 31 December 2018, or, if not available, on the most recent financial reports prepared by the associates.
