Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group's ('BM Group', 'Group') reported net profit of PLN103 million in 3Q23 and PLN461 million in 9M23. September was the 12th consecutive month with a positive net result. These results compare against negative PLN1,001 million/PLN1,264 million net result reported in 3Q22/9M22 respectively.
The three digit net result of the period was achieved despite still steep costs related to FXmortgage portfolio ('FX-mortgage costs') which totalled PLN813 million after tax (PLN2,560 million in 9M23, +47% y/y). 3Q23 net profit adjusted for these costs but with a hypothetical asset tax ('bank tax') (PLN97 million) would be record PLN819 million (9M23: PLN2,237 million, up 45% y/y).
Capital ratios improved considerably in the period with Group's T1 capital ratio increasing to 13.5% from 11.7% at the end of June'23 (Bank solo: 14.1% from 11.7% respectively). Additionally, the Bank issued EUR500 million of MREL eligible four-year bonds, closing the regulatory gap.
3Q23 also saw cumulative number of amicable settlements with FX-mortgage borrowers crossing the 20k mark. This is equivalent of 1/3 of the number of loan agreements active at moment of the full roll-out of amicable settlements programme. Additionally, the number of in-court settlements continued to increase at a steady pace. In 3Q23 alone, 156 such settlements were achieved (18% of total) while in 9M23 overall 342 (13%).

Net result w/o FX-mortgage related costs, w/o credit holidays and bancassurance transaction but with hypothetical banking tax
The key developments in 3Q23 were as follows:


cost efficiency remained high (9M23 opex without BFG/IPS costs up 14% y/y vs. reported 9M23 income growing 32% y/y) owing to a combination of a steady increase in the digitalisation of our business and well as relations with clients with strong cost response to revenue pressures; headcount remained broadly stable (number of active employees up 66 or 1% in 3Q23 and flat since YE22), optimisation of the physical distribution network continued (own branches down by 31 units or 8% in the last twelve months) complemented the increasing share of digital services (digital customers: 2.7mn, up 7% y/y, number of active mobile customers: 2.4mn, up 11% y/y);

(*) Reported adjusted for cost of credit holidays, provisions against credit risk, Covid-19, result on FV portfolio, impairment losses on non-financial assets, modifications, legal risk on FX-mortgages and results on bancassurance transaction in 1Q23.



Costs related to FX-mortgage portfolio (legal risk provisions, costs of amicable settlements and legal costs) remained elevated and continued to be a material drag on the increasingly profitable core business of the Group. Totalling PLN850 million pre-tax (PLN813 million after tax) in the period and PLN2,698 million/PLN2,560 million in 9M23 respectively these were significantly above levels in the same periods last year.

(*) without legal risk costs related to FX-mortgages originated by former EB.
Total provisions against legal risk related to FX-mortgage portfolio ('FX-mortgage provisions') amounted to PLN743 million (pre-tax) in 3Q23 with PLN673 million attributable to FX-mortgages originated by Bank Millennium. In 9M23, the respective values were PLN2,364 million and PLN2,208 million (9M22: PLN1,513 million and PLN1,366 million respectively). Post-tax FX-mortgage related provisions attributable to portfolio originated by Bank Millennium totalled PLN2,163 million in 9M23 vs. PLN1,380 million in 9M22. While in the 1H23 the increase of mortgage provisions resulted from negative developments in the legal environment, namely the judgment of the European Court of Justice of June 15, 2023, with consequent methodological changes (e.g. elimination of a scenario of remuneration for capital provided by the Bank) and updated inputs into the Bank's provisioning methodology, in 3Q23 these were chiefly driven by updated inputs, reflecting, inter alia, actual and expected inflow of court claims.



At the end of September'23, provisions for the portfolio originated by Bank Millennium were at the level of PLN6,980 million (an equivalent of 73.5% of the grossed-up FX-mortgage book) and at PLN536 million for the portfolio originated by former Euro Bank. Allocated, i.e. decreasing gross balance sheet value of the respective loan books stood at PLN5,950 million and PLN451 million respectively.

(*) actual outstanding B/S provisions not equal to the sum of P&L charges. ** including provisions for settlements Note: legal risk provisions/gross FX mortgage book (post IFRS9 adjustments where necessary); excl. f.EB portfolio in case of BM; peer group composition has been changed hence there may be differences in comparison to previously presented data.
On September 30, 2023, the Bank had 19,849 loan agreements and additionally 1,635 loan agreements from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans submitted to the court. A relatively small proportion of these (~10.0%) was filed by borrowers who had repaid their FX-mortgages entirely or converted them into PLN mortgages at the date of submitting the court case.
The Bank is highly focused on reduction of its FX-mortgage portfolio and the related risk and therefore continues to actively offer its customers amicable solutions (i.a. conversions to Polish zloty, pre-payments, early repayments or collectively 'amicable settlements') regarding FXmortgages on negotiated terms. The number of amicable settlements reached 869 in 3Q23, slightly less than in the preceding quarter and 2,600 in 9M23 overall (9M22: 6,631). Over 20,000 amicable settlements took place since early 2020 when more intensive effort started. This represents over 33% of the number of active FX-mortgage agreements at the start of the effort. As a result of these negotiations, final court verdicts and other natural drivers, in 3Q23 the number of active FXmortgage loans decreased by over 1,300 to 34,076, while in 9M23 by over 3,900, following the 9,600 drop in 2002 overall.
In 3Q23, costs related to amicable settlements totalled PLN87 million (pre-tax, booked in FX-result and in result on modifications), while in 9M23 they totalled PLN237 million (9M22: PLN377 million). The relatively higher cost of the settlements in 3Q23 reflected, among others, an increasing number and share of in-court settlements. In 3Q23, 156 such settlements were achieved, compared to 137 in 2Q23 (9M23: 432 vs. 9M22: 173).
Legal costs, booked in admin costs and other operating costs, totalled PLN57 million in 3Q23 and PLN178 million in 9M23.


Note: some items were adjusted from the previously reported values

As a result of these trends, the BM's FX-mortgage portfolio contracted 4% in 3Q23 (in CHF terms, gross, w/o impact of allocated legal risk provisions) while the y/y contraction rate stood at 15%. The share of total FX-mortgage book (gross loans less allocated legal risk provisions) in total Group's gross loans dropped to 5.2% at the end of September'23, while the share of FX-mortgage loans originated by BM dropped to 4.6%.

Note: the share of gross FX-mortgages not deducting allocated legal risk provisions was 12.5% at the end of June'23.
Excluding all FX-mortgage related costs (3Q23: PLN850 million pre-tax/PLN813 million after tax, 9M23: PLN2,698 million/PLN2,560 million respectively), adjusting for 1Q23 gains on the bancassurance agreement (PLN597 million pre-tax, PLN484 million after tax) and adding hypothetical bank tax (3Q23: PLN97 million, 9M23: PLN300 million), the BM Group would post 3Q23 net profit of PLN819 million (PLN804 million with linear distribution of BFG charge),and 9M23 net profit of PLN2,237 million vs. adjusted 3Q22 net profit of PLN640 million and 9M22 net profit of PLN1,547 million.

(*) Without fair value adjustment of credit portfolio (PLN-0.3mn in 9M23 and PLN13.6mn in 9M22), which is included in the cost of risk line (**) Without financial impact of insurance transaction (PLN597mn in 1Q23), negative impact of credit holidays (PLN1,423mn in 3Q22) and FX mortgage loan related costs/incomes (in FX position and other operating income/cost including indemnity from Societe Generale)
Net interest income (NII) in 9M23 reached PLN3,970mn and was materially up by16% y/y (without the negative impact of credit holidays for PLN mortgage borrowers in the amount of PLN1.4bn booked in 3Q22), mostly driven by higher market interest rates and the resultant higher Bank's interest margin. The quarterly growth of NII was +3% q/q. The 75 bps central bank rates cut at the beginning of September and further cuts expected by the market (and reflected in WIBOR) will, going forward, have some negative impact on this item. Still, 3Q23 NII showed strong resilience.
Net interest margin (over average interest earning assets) (NIM) reached 4.77% in 3Q23 and was lower by 8 bps vs the record level of 2Q23 (4.85%) showing the impact of some easing in monetary

policy. 75bp interest rates cut in September was first since the beginning of the previous tightening cycle in 4Q21. Additionally, lower NIM resulted from higher share of debt securities, both in assets and in liabilities. NIM in 9M23 was 4.72%, i.e. 36 bps higher compared to 4.36% in 9M22 (the latter without the impact of credit holidays mentioned above).
Net commission income in 9M23 amounted to PLN592mn and decreased -2% y/y (3Q23 saw -7% q/q drop), mainly due to contraction of commissions related to accounts service and transactions (a decrease by PLN35mn). Fees on brokerage and custody, management and distribution of mutual funds and other investment products also contracted y/y (by PLN7mn), due to unfavourable conditions on capital markets in 2023. The more visible growing item were commissions from cards, whereas fees from bancassurance activity showed a strong quarterly drop (-29% q/q) as a result of bancassurance transaction with an external company earlier in the year.
Reported core income, defined as a combination of net interest and net commission income, reached PLN4,562mn in 9M23 and grew very strongly by 76% y/y. This was mostly an effect of credit holidays for PLN mortgage borrowers booked in 3Q22. The growth without credit holidays was +14% y/y, reflecting robust Group's recurrent income dynamics (3Q23: +1% q/q).
Other non-interest income, which comprises FX result, results on financial assets and liabilities (without fair value adjustment on credit portfolio) and net other operating income and costs showed considerably positive value of PLN594mn in 9M23, mostly driven by the insurance transaction (sale of shares in Millennium Financial Services to external insurance partner in March'23 and related impacts, with pre-tax impact of PLN597mn). Costs of amicable settlements negotiated with FX mortgage borrowers and legal costs related to FX mortgage loans (PLN313mn in 9M23 presented in FX result and other operating costs) continued to negatively impact this line.
Total operating income of the Group reached PLN5,156mn in 9M23 and showed a very strong increase of 108% y/y. Without the extraordinary income and costs mentioned above, it would be PLN4,791mn, up 16% y/y (3Q23: +4% q/q), leading to a meaningful Group's efficiency improvement.

(*) with equal distribution of BFG resolution fee through the year and without one-off income or cost
Total costs amounted to PLN1,464mn in 9M23, translating into 10% decrease y/y, mainly due to high contribution to Banking Guarantee Fund (BFG) funds and to the institutional protection scheme ('IPS') in 9M22 (IPS cost for the Bank amounted to PLN276mn pre-tax in 9M22). Total costs excluding BFG/IPS fees grew 14% y/y (3Q23: +5% q/q).
Personnel costs amounted to PLN766mn in 9M23 and increased 13% y/y, mainly as a result of wage inflation feeding through higher base salaries. The Group continued to adjust the number of its branches and personnel to its needs, reflecting the growing importance of online channels while simultaneously keeping strong geographical presence through brick-and-mortar outlets. At the end of September 2023, the total number of outlets stood at 615 and their number was reduced by 18 units vs. the end of September 2022. The number of Group's employees amounted to 6,776 FTEs at the end of September 2023 and it was similar to the level a year ago. Without employees absent due to long leaves ('active FTEs'), the headcount was much lower, i.e. at 6,306 staff.

(*) active FTEs denote employees not on long-term leaves.
Other administrative costs (including depreciation) reached PLN697mn in 9M23 and decreased by 26% y/y due to much lower contribution to BFG/IPS mentioned above, whereas costs without BFG/IPS increased by 16% y/y (3Q23: up 6% q/q) due to increase of such items as legal and advisory costs, rental and office maintenance, as well as IT and telecommunication costs. Legal costs resulting from negotiations and litigations with FX mortgage borrowers were an additional burden to this cost group (PLN61mn in the reporting period).
Cost-to-income ratio for 9M23 amounted to 28.4% and was lower by 13.2 percentage points vs. the 9M22 level (41.6%). Cost-to-income ratio without extraordinary items mentioned above (mainly the bancassurance transaction, cost of credit holidays and legal costs and FX losses related to litigations/settlements with FX mortgage borrowers), reached record low level of 29% in 9M23 and was 9 percentage points lower than in 9M22.

(*) Impairment provisions for financial and non-financial assets including also fair value adjustment on loans (PLN-0.3mn in 9M23 and PLN13.6mn in 9M22) and loans modification effect (PLN-26.8mn in 9M23 and PLN-15.8mn in 9M22)
(**) The value of modification booked in given period resulting from amicable settlements with FX mortgage borrowers and referring to a specific group of such agreements.
(***) Without extraordinary items, i.e. financial impact of bancassurance transaction (PLN597mn in 1Q23), negative impact of credit holidays (PLN1,423mn in 3Q22), FX-mortgage related costs, linear distribution of BFG resolution fund fee and hypothetical banking tax in 9M23

Total cost of risk, which comprised net impairment provisions, fair value adjustment of a part of credit portfolio and a part of result on modifications (excluding the part related to settlements with FX mortgage borrowers), bore by the Group amounted to PLN231mn in 9M23 and was 13% lower than in 9M22 (3Q23: up 13% q/q).
Risk charges for retail segment were the main driver of y/y increase of risk cost and amounted to PLN221mn in 9M23. Risk charge for corporate and other segments was moderate and amounted to a mere PLN10mn. In relative terms, the cost of risk (i.e. net charges to average gross loans) for 9M23 reached 40 basis points (annualised) and was 4 basis points lower than in 9M22 (44 basis points).
In 9M23, the Group booked in modifications line a part of costs related to settlements with FX mortgage borrowers in the amount of PLN41mn, 17% lower than in the same period last year.
In 9M23, the Bank continued to create provisions for legal risk related to FX-mortgage portfolio, which remained a significant item in the P&L statement and reached PLN2,364mn (PLN2,208mn excluding loans generated by former Euro Bank as they are subject to indemnity clauses and guarantees from Societe Generale). The provisions were significantly higher (i.e. by 56%) than these in 9M22. The Bank's estimates of provisions for 9M23 take into consideration the judgement of the European Court of Justice of June 15, 2023 on case C-520/21, with resultant elimination from the Bank's legal risk provisioning methodology of the probability of receiving remuneration for the use of capital it had provided. Additionally, the Bank also updated other parameters in its methodology. At the end of September'23, provisions for the portfolio originated by Bank Millennium were at the level of PLN6,980mn (an equivalent of 73.5% of the grossed-up FX-mortgage book) and at PLN536mn for the portfolio originated by the former Euro Bank.
Pre-income tax result in 9M23 was positive and amounted to PLN1,056mn, compared to the pre-tax loss of PLN1,144mn in 9M22. The Bank has not been due to pay banking tax since July 15, 2022, the date of the Bank's decision to launch the Recovery Plan and notification of the fact to both PFSA and Bank Guarantee Fund.
In 9M23 the Group reported net profit of PLN461mn. In 3Q23 the Group reported net profit of PLN103mn and it was the fourth consecutive quarter of net profit generation after preceding eight consecutive quarters of net losses. Adjusted for the abovementioned extraordinary items (i.a. the transaction of sale of shares in bancassurance business, FX-mortgage related costs and with proportional adjustment of BFG charge) the Group would achieve the net profit of PLN 2,252mn in 9M23, 44% above the adjusted 9M22 net profit of PLN1,568mn.

Total net loans of the BM Group reached PLN73,983mn at the end of September 2023 and were down 6% y/y and almost flat quarterly. Loans without FX-mortgage portfolio decreased by 1% y/y only and grew a little (+1%) vs. the previous quarter. FX mortgage loans net of provisions decreased materially during the last twelve months (down 53%) and the share of FX mortgage loans (excluding these taken over with Euro Bank) in total gross loans has dropped visibly during the year to 4.6% from 9.4% a year ago. This was partly due to the fact that most of legal risk provisions lower the gross value of the loans apart from regular amortisation and earlier repayments.
The net value of loans to households amounted to PLN56,150mn at the end of September 2023, showing a decline of 4% y/y (flat quarterly). Within this line, PLN mortgages grew slightly (up 2% y/y), as quarterly originations and consequently disbursements contracted visibly in the high interest rates environment. In 9M23, disbursements of PLN mortgage loans reached PLN3,176mn and fell by 44% compared to the level in 9M22.
The net value of consumer loans reached PLN16,623mn at the end of September 2023 and increased by 5% y/y. The trend in cash loans origination was very positive – new loans disbursed in 9M23 reached PLN4.8bn, up 19% compared to 9M22.
Net value of loans to companies amounted to PLN17,833mn at the end of September 2023 and decreased by 12% y/y (-2% q/q). The contraction of the loan portfolio was largely caused by the Group's focus on risk weighted assets (RWA) optimisation resulting from capital management objectives.

(*) Capital ratios are calculated according to transitional arrangements mitigating the impact of IFRS9 implementation on CET 1 capital.
In September 2023, the Bank received the decision of the KNF to consent to the inclusion of net profit generated in the first half of 2023 in the amount of PLN338.6mn at the stand-alone level and in the amount of PLN357.9mn at the consolidated level in Common Equity Tier 1 capital.
In July 2023, Millennium Leasing concluded a synthetic securitization transaction of lease receivables, which had a positive impact on the Group's capital ratios (approximately 47bp on the Tier 1 ratio and approximately 62bp on the total capital ratio).

The improvement in indicators was mainly determined by a significant increase in own funds, by a total of PLN509mn (7.3%). This was primarily due to the above-mentioned inclusion of the net profit for the first half of 2023 in own funds (an increase of PLN358mn) and a better market valuation of bonds valued through other comprehensive income (an increase of PLN132mn). On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in own funds requirements - by PLN180mn (4.8%). The reason for this was mainly the effect of the above-mentioned securitization transaction and other activities aimed at optimizing risk-weighted assets.
The leverage ratio improved by 12bp due to the mentioned increase in own funds accompanied by an increase in the leverage exposure measure. It is at a safe level of 4.72%, significantly exceeding the regulatory minimum of 3%.
Minimum required level of capital includes:
In December 2022, the Bank received a recommendation to maintain own funds to cover an additional capital charge ("P2G") in order to absorb potential losses resulting from the occurrence of stresses, at the level of 1.72pp and 1.75pp (on an individual and consolidated level) over the OCR value. According to the recommendation, the additional capital charge should consist fully of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital).
The minimum capital ratios required by the KNF in terms of the overall buffer requirement (OCR) are achieved with a large surplus at the end of the third quarter of 2023. Also in terms of the levels expected by KNF, including the additional P2G capital charge, they were achieved for all capital ratios.
The Bank's new strategy for years 2022-2024 was announced in 4Q21. The strategy clearly defines key business areas that will contribute to the execution of the assumed targets. Following to the adopted strategy, in 1Q22 the Bank prepared and accepted strategy operationalisation approach, which consists of 17 strategic initiatives/business areas. Strategic portfolio is the subject of the internal review process (on quarterly basis), both on the operational and executive levels.
The Bank monitors the execution of accepted strategic targets as well as turbulent and fast changing external circumstances, that could affect execution of abovementioned targets.

(1) calculated as an average of digital sales shares in key products volumes; (2) Excluding FX-mortgage book related costs (for 2022 excluding also 'mortgage holidays' effect and incorporating hypothetical banking tax effect in 2H22 while in 2023 excluding financial impact of bancassurance transaction) (3) W/o deduction of allocated legal risk provisions
After 3Q23 the Bank notes that most results are on track to be delivered at levels targeted in 2024 as well as range of business achievements, that was announced in the strategy, incl.:
s employees under Our People23: Save the Planet;In the current report of July 15, 2022 (Information on expected negative impact of credit holidays on 3rd quarter 2022 results of Bank Millennium S.A. Capital Group and on launching of the Recovery Plan), the Bank informed that due to costs generated as a result of the above mentioned Act, it could be reasonably assumed that the Bank will post a negative net result for the 3rd quarter of 2022 and as a result its capital ratios may fall below the current minimum requirements set by Polish Financial Supervision Authority ('PFSA'). As the emergence of risk of a breach of respective capital ratios represents a prerequisite stipulated in the art. 142 sec. 1 and 2 of the Banking Act of 29 August 1997 (Journal of Laws 2021, item 2439, i.e. 28 December 2021, as amended), on July 15, 2022 the Management Board of the Bank took a decision to launch the Recovery Plan, notifying of the fact both PFSA and Bank Guarantee Fund. Additionally, the Bank has elaborated and submitted to PFSA the Capital Protection Plan, pursuant to the Article 60 sec. 1 of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macroprudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 963, i.e. of 6 May 2022, as amended). PFSA approved this plan on 28th October 2022.
Both the Recovery Plan and Capital Protection Plan, foresee the increase of capital ratios comfortably above the minimum required levels through a combination of further improvement of operational profitability and capital optimisation initiatives such as management of risk weighted assets (including securitisations). Launching of both plans, triggered various actions aimed at the increase of capital ratios and operational profitability.

As presented in the 2022 Annual report, in 4Q22 the Bank and BM Group improved capital ratios, bringing them clearly above the updated regulatory requirements. During the three quarters of 2023, a continued improvement in capital ratios was observed as a result of solid financial results, including the inclusion of net profit for the first half of 2023 in own funds and initiatives aimed at optimizing risk-weighted assets, including securitisation. Assuming no other extraordinary factors, the Bank plans to keep capital ratios above the minimum required levels throughout the rest of the year 2023 and in further periods. The Bank, on continuous basis, monitors the financial situation and, if needed, will undertake actions to launch additional remedial activities.
As soon as all Recovery Plan leading indicators will become green ('business as usual' zone), the Bank will complete the key milestones of the Recovery Plan. The Bank anticipates that this may occur around the end 2023 or in the first half of 2024 at the latest, assuming no significant negative extraordinary events.

Bank Millennium continues to pursue its strategy of adapting the format and functions of its branches as well as its remote service to customer needs.
There is a strong emphasis on the development of employees and their proper preparation for customer service. Organizational changes in branches and support from quality management units help advisers to exchange information and share experiences. Employees have the space to develop solutions that support service at the branch and to educate and encourage customers to use remote channels. It is education that is fundamental in the process of convincing customers to use new technologies and tools to facilitate safe and convenient banking. Advisors focus on changing customers' habits and switching from cash to non-cash service. The support of a branch employee is an important step in familiarizing the customer with digital tools that enable customers to use the bank's offer on their own in the future.
The designed solutions are in line with the business objectives and the ongoing digitalization strategy. A convenient transition between contact channels, provides customers with a comfortable banking experience and a sense of consistent service. In many processes, we enable customers to change service channel - also during the execution of a specific transaction or application. We are systematically increasing our accessibility thanks to the latest technology and appropriate conditions in traditional bank branches. We are developing processes that combine contact channels and ensure an even better flow of information and customer knowledge.
Bank Millennium continues to work on simplifying the language of communication and the content of the documents we provide to the customers. We are revising the texts communicated to customers from account opening to information on how to handle their products.
We are gradually transferring the experience from the retail customer area to the corporate banking area. We are continuing training and introducing the principles of plain language into more types of texts - internal and external.
The measures taken are the result of Bank Millennium's concern to secure the needs of our various customer segments. We are focusing not only on the choice of contact channel. We are working to ensure that each customer group, which has different needs and expectations, is adequately taken care of. We adapt the language and presentation to their age, level of financial knowledge and experience of using the latest technology. The staff and the solutions designed help customers to bank comfortably and use the various services at a time and pace that suits them. We work to maintain the synergy between the digital communication and the traditional form of customer contact with the bank. The Bank is introducing facilitations for people with disabilities to access services.
In 3Q23, the Bank increased its active client base by more than 32 thousand. On September 30, 2023 the Bank provided services to more than 2.98 million active retail clients. Altogether, more than 2.66 million clients were using electronic banking actively while the mobile application was in use by more than 2.4 million, an increase of 11% on a yearly basis.
Sale of current accounts in 3Q23 exceeded the level of 107 thousand, i.e. an increase by 7% vs. the same period of the previous year. The key product supporting acquisition of new clients was the new Millennium 360° account.
3Q23 was a period of growth in the volume of retail deposits. Maintained relatively high interest rates on term deposits and savings accounts encouraged customers to take advantage of promotional offers. As a result, the Bank increased the volume of retail customer deposits in 3Q23 by PLN 2.98bn. This translated into a retail deposit balance of PLN79.1bn at the end of September'23.

The Bank enhanced its marketing communication regarding the savings offer and continued to acquire new volumes based on the Profit Savings Account (KO Profit) with attractive interest rates for new funds but at the same time made the retention offer more attractive based on dedicated term deposits
In 3Q23, Bank Millennium increased sales of mortgage loans. The Bank concluded new contracts with a total value of almost PLN1.3bn (+36% q/q). The result placed the Bank with a market share of almost 10% (market share for Jan-Aug). The Bank made the disbursements of mortgage loan tranches available to customers in digital channels, and also enabled the processing and servicing of the mortgage loan using the electronic ID document mDowód.
The offer includes mortgage loans with a periodically fixed interest rate for the first 5 years. The Bank's lending operation, similarly to previous years, was based on the unconditional 0% commission for granting the credit and 0% commission for early repayment.
In 3Q23, the Bank achieved sales of cash loans at the level of PLN1.66bn. This represents a significant increase of 9% compared to the third quarter of 2022. It was also the quarter with the highest quarterly sales in 2023. The bank's market share in the sale of cash loans on the entire market is estimated at 10.5%. The bank's market share in the balance of cash loans at the end of September 2023 reached 9.25%.
The Bank also maintained one of the most attractive promotional offers on the market. The Bank's customers largely used omnichannel and finalized loan agreements in digital channels. 74% of contracts in terms of value and 85% of contracts in terms of quantity were concluded in digital channels. When selling credit products, the Bank combines the convenience of customer service in remote channels with the support and relational approach of credit advisors. This creates a tangible synergy effect between digital and traditional channels.
The Bank maintained the upward trend in the payment card portfolio with the result of 3.9 million cards at the end of September 2023 (+4% compared to 3Q22). The turnover in 3Q23 amounted to PLN19,533mn on debit cards (+9% compared to 3Q22) and PLN1,740mn on credit cards (+13% compared to 3Q22). This result was supported by new product solutions, including introduction of Google Pay mobile payments for all cards.
3Q23 was a volatile period on capital markets. The Polish mutual fund market saw positive net inflows but asset value growth was limited by market valuations. Positive capital market sentiment and initiatives undertaken by the Bank had a positive impact on mutual fund sales and resulted in positive net sales of PLN209mn in 3Q23. The Bank, especially in the retail customer segment, maintained the focus on developing and promoting regular investment, including, among others, the investment advisory service. This service provides customers with an easy and convenient way to access investment products, especially by investing even small amounts on a regular basis. All these efforts resulted in record 7 ths. of new regular fund registers opened in 3Q23. The special strategy of rewarding the use of remote channels was also continued, with a reduction to 0% in handling fees for the purchase of selected units through Millenet and the Mobile Application. Bank maintained the offer of structured deposits with guaranteed profit and capital protection.
In 3Q23 Bank Millennium have opened 8.3 thousands Business current accounts. More than 2/3 were opened in digital processes. The Bank launched the new accounting service for current Biznes Clients. Clients can choose one of three available accounting options due to their needs, including free of charge invoicing service.
In 3Q23, the Bank recorded an increase in sales of Business loans to the level of PLN234mn. Compared to the third quarter of last year, this means a 54% increase and an increase of 3% compared to the previous quarter. The market share in sales of loans to the micro segment, increased from 3.1% in the third quarter of 2022 to 4.93% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was the result of intensive work on the attractiveness of the offer and the automation and digitization of the lending process.

We systematically develop and introduce changes in our product offer. We adapt it to client requirements, market environment and changes in legal regulations. We digitize and digitalize business processes that make service easier and more efficient. We are working on further product changes and planning to introduce new improvements.
In the third quarter, we introduced new functionalities in the mobile application. In the latest version of the app, customers can handle multiple companies, without having to log in again. They make their choice after logging in for the first time from the Start screen and have access to a view of each of their companies. We also made it possible to order international transfers in all currencies to IBAN accounts in countries outside the European Economic Area. All you need to do is enter the recipient's details, such as the IBAN and the desired currency of the transaction.
SEPA transfer was also introduced to the latest version. We also made it possible to repeat the transfer from the transaction history level. In this way, it is easier for customers to order a payment to the Tax Office, for example. In the Android version of the app, biometrics was also implemented (in the iOS version, biometrics has been present since the release of the app). We also improved the search engine, so customers will find recipients faster when preparing transfers, and we implemented a change in the payment management module.
Soon, the app will gain yet another feature. Customers will receive push notifications about new transactions waiting to be authorized or declined transactions.
From 1 September'23, we accept a new type of identity document: Document mObywatel (mDowód)
In order to comply with regulatory requirements, from 1 September we introduced the possibility of confirming the customer's identity on the basis of mDowód. Electronic mDowód allows you to confirm your identity without the need for you to provide any other identification documents.
In the area of trade finance, we implemented solutions that improve the process of handling guarantees and letters of credit, including, for example, the possibility of settling the payment of an import letter of credit with funds from reverse factoring.
In 3Q23, 61% of loan agreements were signed with the use of a qualified electronic signature.
The number of leasing agreements signed by corporate clients with the use of qualified electronic signatures is consistently increasing. At the end of September, 57% of agreements in this group of customers are signed electronically.
The share of customers using the eBOK website for handling leasing agreements by customers reached 87% (an increase of 2 pp compared to December 2022). Electronic applications for handling contracts and leased items at the end of September accounted for over 45% of all applications submitted by clients (at the end of December 2022 it was 24.6%).

We improved the process of leasing with de minimis guarantee, especially in the case of vehicles up to 3.5T. We developed new paths in the MilleAutoMat system and launched a full standard process for all asset groups in the Cassiopae system.
We were also developing our cooperation with vendors – suppliers of leased assets. At the end of September'23, we cooperated with 900 vendors (in 3Q23 we acquired 80 vendors).
In September this year, a series of 9 meetings across the country began within the framework of the 6th edition of the Family Business Forum – a joint initiative of Forbes Polska magazine and Bank Millennium. It is a cyclical event bringing together family businesses - a forum for debates and meetings, which allows, among others, to establish business relations, gain new partners and distinguish the best family businesses in individual voivodships. This year's edition is held under the slogan "Where to get an impulse for development in times of economic slowdown". Bank Millennium has been the strategic partner of the Family Business Forum since 2018.

CFOs, CEOs and Management Board members could talk about the cooperation between CFO and CIO.
We ended 3Q23 with 2.66 million (+7% y/y) active digital channel users. More than 2.43 million users logged to the Bank on mobile devices mobile devices. This translates into an increase of mobile users by 11% y/y. In 3Q23, customers logged into the app more than 231 million times. In the first half of the year, as many as 1.72 million customers used BLIK (growth by 24%y/y).
Digital channels accounted for 82% of cash loan sales in 3Q23 and 96% of term deposit sales, meaning that the vast majority of customers choose remote processes to use these products. In terms of current account acquisition, the share of electronic channels was 37%. In 3Q23, we recorded an increase of 26% in the sale of travel and vehicle insurance compared to 2Q23. The increase is related to the holiday season and customer interest in insurance available in a few clicks in the app and Millenet.
Customers are most willing to pay online with BLIK. The number of BLIK transactions increased by 40% in 3Q23 compared to the same period in 2022. Customers also made 57% more P2P transfers (3Q23 vs. 3Q22), since the beginning of 2022 this increase has been as high as 122%.
We already have 640,000 mobile payment users: HCE, BLIK contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay. Customers make 20 million transactions per month with a total value of PLN 1 billion.
• BIOMETRIC AUTHORIZATION. Our customers can confirm transactions with a fingerprint or facial scan - we are extending the availability of this option to more types of transactions. More than one million customers log in to the mobile app using biometrics. Monthly, customers confirm 500,000 transactions in this way.
In 3Q23, goodie cashback once again achieved record results. Particularly large increases were seen in the acquisition of new cashback users – the record result was August'23 with an increase of 97% y/y. At the same time, the number of transactions made through goodie cashback in 2023 by the end of September exceeded the number of transactions made in the whole of 2022 in 3Q23 alone over PLN3mn of refunds were paid to users.
Cooperation with Bank Millennium in the field of the "Refunds for purchases" service also achieves very good results – in 3Q23 the number of transactions made increased by more than 560% y/y.
The service still maintains the PLN20 promotion for a new user of "Refunds for purchases" as well as "Superoffers" with attractive refund rates for purchases.
Sales of eCards achieved results in line with expectations and increased by over 12% y/y. eGift card is gaining popularity in terms of its use for loyalty programmes, incentives and sales promotions.
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) issues have been an integral part of the Bank Millennium Group's business strategy for years. Activities in this area are carried out on the basis of the ESG Strategy of the Bank Millennium Group for 2022-2024. The Strategy constitutes an expansion and specification of environmental, social and corporate governance objectives presented in the Strategy for 2022 - 2024 "Millennium 2024: Inspired by People". In addition, the Bank supports the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and is a signatory of the Diversity Charter.
In July 2023 Bank Millennium acceded to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) as direct participant. UNGC is the UN world biggest initiative to support sustainable business and accession to the UNGC means a commitment to comply with and implement 10 Principles of the United Nations

Global Compact. The Bank's accession to the UNGC is another very important step towards enabling the Bank to implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals to the fullest extent possible.

Third quarter of 2023 is a very intense time in the field of ESG activities related to education and culture, addressed to various stakeholder groups. Within key educational activities Bank Millennium launched, on 1 September 2023, an educational campaign for micro-entrepreneurs named "My Little Big Business" aimed at expanding knowledge of persons managing or intending to open their own business activities. As part of the campaign, a series of educational podcasts, radio competitions with prizes and a number of activities involving influencers in social media have been planned. Future entrepreneurs can learn how to establish a company via internet and what to look into at the start of their business. Persons, who already manage their businesses can count on gaining knowledge on banking services (i.a. payment terminal in a phone or financing options). Bank Millennium explains why it is worthwhile to have a company account and what benefits are to be gained from using Mój Biznes account with Visa Debit Card attached.

• Gdańsk headquarter HQ GRUNWALDZKA 19/23 meets the requirements of certification of building assessment system LEED GREEN established by the U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL and verified by the GREEN BUSINESS CERTIFICATION INC. On 25 September 2023 our project was certified LEED Gold in the assessment system LEED v4 Building Design and Construction: New Construction and Major Renovations, obtaining in total 63 points. It is an effect of the Bank's investment of 2022 involving optimisation of the real property portfolio together with
modernisation of the Bank's own buildings of the Gdańsk HQ. The project was implemented following the concept of sustainable management incorporating such factors as space optimisation, efficient and environmentally friendly materials, thermal modernisation of the building in line with energy audit guidelines and the first in the Bank, own installation of photovoltaic panels.
• In August, Bank Millennium employees launched environmental volunteering activity i.e. a consecutive stage of sports and environmental challenge under the Our People'23 campaign: Save the Planet! After concluding sports competitions and collecting the amount of PLN 250 000 for the Bank Millennium Foundation, the time came for environmental volunteering activities under which every employee can take part in a competition for grant and submit an idea for implementation of an environmental project. Two-month campaign Our People'23: Save the Planet, which Bank Millennium organised in Spring and Summer 2023 is the biggest sports challenge for Millennium community with purely environmental objective. The campaign combined sport goals with charity. Bank employees, by performing various sport activities could collect score points and kilometres, convert them into PLN and thus collect funds to support implementation of the Bank Millennium Foundation's environmental projects.
The campaign Our People'23: Save the Planet aims, on the one hand, to encourage physical activity, and on the other, to draw attention to the protection of the natural environment. Our People'23: Save the Planet means more than 1,500 participants, 18 million of burned calories, 12.5 thousand sport activities, 131 thousand kilometres on our feet, 180 thousand km cycling, as much as 71 tons of CO2 saved and PLN 250 thous. in funds collected to support environmental voluntary activities.
In 3Q23 the forecasts for the global economy in 2023-2024 have not changed significantly and economists still expect slower GDP growth in that period compared to 2022. However, the divergences between the macroeconomic scenarios for some economies have widened. The outlook for the Eurozone, the main recipient of Polish exports, has deteriorated and especially for Germany, which is expected to face recession in 2023. These changes mean that the impact of the global economic situation will be less favourable for the Polish economy in the coming quarters than forecasted in the previous quarter. In 3Q23 inflation in advanced economies continued to decrease. After a quick and significant tightening of monetary policy, major central banks are moving into a wait-and-see mode. The next step should be interest rate decreases. The timing of the first cuts remains uncertain and depends on incoming data.
According to the Bank, the Polish economy has passed in 3Q23 the trough of the business cycle, despite the economic slowdown among the most important trading partners. Bank's estimates show that GDP growth returned in that period to positive values, reaching +0.3% y/y vs -0.6% y/y in 2Q23. This also means that the GDP increased q/q by 1.9% after drop by 2.2% q/q in 2Q23. In the Bank's opinion, the factor driving the q/q growth was recovering households' consumption, which was supported by decreasing inflation, improving consumer sentiment and a stable situation on the labour market. The registered unemployment rate at end of 3Q23 was at 5.0% and was the lowest in the history of the modern economy. Under such conditions, wage growth in the economy remained high.

CPI inflation in Poland decreased in 3Q23 to 9.7% y/y (quarterly average) from 13.1% y/y in 2Q23. This drop turned out to be deeper than the Bank's previous estimates, mainly due to a stronger subsidence of negative shocks on the fuel and food markets. However, disinflation was wide-ranging and was also visible in core inflation, which in 3Q23 decreased to 9.7% y/y from 11.6% y/y a quarter earlier. The drop in inflation contributed to the Monetary Policy Council's decision to start the cycle of monetary easing. At its meeting in Sep'23, the Council cut interest rates by 0.75 pp, i.e. much more than expected. After a significant sell-off of the Zloty, interest rates were cut in Oct'23 on a smaller scale, i.e. by 0.25 pp. As a result, the reference rate of the National Bank of Poland decreased in Oct'23 to 5.75%. In the Bank's opinion, inflation is expected to go down in coming months, although the return to the inflation target remains a distant prospect.

In 3Q23, deposits in the economy increased. In Aug'23, their value was higher than at the end of 2Q23 by PLN41.8bn. Continuing strong wage growth and stable employment were conducive to the growth of households' deposits. In Aug'23, their value was higher than at the end of Jun'23 by PLN14.7bn. Deposits of non-financial corporations increased on a similar scale (+PLN14.2bn). 3Q23 was also a period of recovery of the lending in the economy. In Aug'23, the value of newly granted

loans to households amounted to PLN16.5bn compared to PLN13.7bn in Jul'23 and turned out to be the highest since 2021. The increase was recorded, i.a., in consumer and housing loans. On the other hand, the value of loans granted to non-financial companies in Jul-Aug'23 was lower than in 2Q23. In the Bank's opinion, the demand for credit from households will continue to increase.
According to the Bank's baseline macroeconomic scenario, in 4Q23 and in 2024 economic activity in Poland will be recovering. According to the Bank's estimates, GDP growth will accelerate from 0.6% in 2023 to 2.9% in 2024, mainly due to rebound in household consumption. In the Bank's opinion, the improvement will be facilitated by the acceleration of wage growth in real terms, including a strong raise in the minimum wage, as well as by the planned increase in social transfers from the state budget, including the increase in the existing 500+ childcare benefit. At the same time, low unemployment should be conducive to improving consumer sentiment. In the case of investments in fixed assets, the Bank expects a slowdown in growth in 2024, due to i.a. the end of the old EU budget perspective and only the initial period of funds' inflow under the new budget. In the Bank's opinion, monetary policy easing in Poland will continue in 2024. Nevertheless, due to expected high labour costs growth, expansionary fiscal policy and accelerating demand, the Bank assesses that the space for monetary policy easing in Poland in 2024 is limited. The likely change of government in Poland after the parliamentary election does not significantly affect the short-term macroeconomic forecasts, however, it is a factor of uncertainty. Improving relations with the European Union could support a faster transfer of funds for the National Reconstruction Plan and, consequently, a slightly higher than expected investment demand in 2024. Another risk factor concerns a possible change in the reaction function of the Monetary Policy Council to a more restrictive one. In the longer term, there is uncertainty regarding the new government's approach to fiscal policy, although the prosocial accents in economic policy will most likely not change significantly. The most important factors of uncertainty for the economic scenario are presented below.
risk. At the same time, disturbances on financial markets could result in a deterioration in the valuation of assets in the Group's portfolio.
Early in 2023, the main risk factors that affected banks' quotations were the opinion of CJEU spokesman on FX loans and unexpected information about problems of banks in the United States and the collapse of Credit Suisse - one of the largest banks in Europe. These caused banking shares listed on the WSE to tumble after gains at the start of the year. Concerns about the stability of the financial sector caused a sell-off, albeit short-lived, of the shares of most banking companies. End of March marked a start of a long lasting rebound of banking stocks as easing concerns over the shape of the European banking sector, strong results of Polish banks and undemanding valuations took a front seat. By the end of July most names reached 12-month highs. Early August through September brough a correction again, this time driven by external factors like the weakness of the global economy and the need to maintain high interest rates for longer and internal ones such as repetitive talk by Poland's government official on intention to extend credit holidays. September brought a higher-than expected interest rate reduction by the MPC, which sent share prices of Polish banks further down.
All in all, in 3Q23 the broad market index WIG fell by 3%, WIG Banks decreased by 4% while Bank Millennium shares fell only 1%. However 9M23 brought 14% increase of WIG index, 26% increase of WIG Banks and 23% increase of Bank Millennium's share price.
During the 12 months ending 30 September 2023, WIG broad market index grew 42%, WIG20 index of largest companies 39%, while WIG Banks outperformed the market gaining 68%. In the same period, share price of Bank Millennium grew significantly (71%)

In 3Q23 the average daily turnover of Bank Millennium shares was 16% lower compared to the same period last year.

The Bank's BCA was downgraded to ba3 from ba2 and Adjusted BCA was confirmed at ba2.

On July 13, 2023 Fitch rating agency affirmed the Bank's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and Local Currency Long-Term IDR (LC LT IDR) at 'BB' and additionally revised to 'Positive' from 'Stable' outlooks for these ratings. Additionally, Fitch affirmed at 'bb' the Viability Rating (VR) for the Bank and upgraded the Bank's Shareholder Support Rating (SSR) to 'b+' from 'b'. According to Fitch, the revision of outlooks reflected medium-term improvement of the Bank's risk profile through further gradual reduction of the risks related to its foreign-currency mortgage loan portfolio. It also considers expectations that improved Bank's core profitability will allow to absorb on-going legal costs and potential government intervention leading to further recovery of the Bank's capitalisation (details in CR 22/2023 Current reports – Investor relations – Bank Millennium).

* On March 29, 2023, 80% of shares in Millennium Financial Services sp. z o.o. (currently Europa Millennium Financial Services sp. z o.o ) were transferred from the Bank to Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń na Życie Europa S.A., which acquired 72% of the Company's shares, and Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń Europa S.A., which acquired 8% of the Company's shares, respectively, which is described in more details in note 5 "Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at value fair through profit or loss" in Chapter 4 "Notes to Consolidated Financial Data". In addition, the Bank contributed PLN 200,000 to MFS.
** Despite having a control over the Lubuskie Fabryki Mebli S.A., due to insignificant nature of this company from the realization of the primary goal of the consolidated financial statements point of view, which is the correct presentation of Group's financial situation, the Group does not consolidate capital involvement in aforementioned enterprise.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statement do not include all of the information which is presented in full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of March 29, 2018 regarding current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the laws of a non-member state (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 757) the Bank is required to publish financial data for the nine months ending September 30, 2023.
Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group prepared for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 September 2023:
In 2023 Bank continues to realize Capital Protection Plan submitted to PFSA pursuant to the Article 60 sec. 1 of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macroprudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 963, i.e. of 6 May 2022, as amended), PFSA approved this plan on 28th October 2022. The Plan foresees the increase of capital ratios comfortably above the minimum required levels through a combination of further improvement of operational profitability and capital optimisation initiatives such as management of risk weighted assets (including securitisations).
Since the launch of the Plan, the Bank/Group has managed to significantly improve its capital ratios, placing them clearly above the new regulatory requirements: as of September 30, 2023, the Tier 1 ratio was 384 bps (Bank) and 329 bps (Group ) above the minimum requirement, and the total capital ratio (TCR) was 475 bps (Bank) and 395 bps (Group) above the minimum requirement. In September 2023, the Bank obtained the consent of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to include the net profit generated in the first half of 2023 in the amount of PLN 339 million (Bank) and PLN 358 million (Group), respectively, in common equity Tier 1 capital. This decision enabled further strengthening of capital adequacy, which resulted in a positive impact on the total capital ratio of the Bank in the amount of 72 bps and of the Group by 76 bps. Assuming no other extraordinary factors, the Bank plans to maintain capital ratios above the minimum required levels throughout 2023.
In terms of the MRELtrea and MRELtem requirements, the Group presents a surplus compared to the minimum required levels at the reporting date and also meets the MRELtrea Requirement after the inclusion of the Combined Buffer Requirement. The Group also expects to meet the minimum MREL requirements at the end of the year.

The Bank monitors, on the current basis, the financial situation and, if needed, will undertake actions to launch additional remedial activities. In particular, the Bank is aware of potential risks connected with potential extension of so-called Credit Holidays for 2024. If such risk would materialize, it could imply additional provisions that would decrease the net result of the Bank/Group. Additionally, further negative developments regarding the legal risk of FX mortgage loans could imply the need to increase the level of provisions for such risk apart from the provisions that might result from current trends. In the Bank's view, these events, if materialized, would adversely affect the results of the Bank/Group in 2023-2024, and would reduce the organic generation of capital that is envisaged, but would not prevent the Bank/Group from continuing to implement its strategy and the generation of results that would mitigate the impact of such events.
The liquidity position of Bank Millennium Group remained very strong in 3Q 2023. LCR ratio reached the level of 299% at the of June 2023, well above the supervisory minimum of 100%. Loan-to-deposit ratio remained at secure level of 70% and the share of liquid debt securities (mainly bonds issued by the sovereigns, multilateral development banks and NBP bills) in the Group's total assets remains significant at 31%.
At same time the Bank achieved good operational and business results, while actively managing and mitigating the different risks related to the banking activity. Taking into account the above circumstances and identified uncertainties, in particular, the Bank's capacity to meet capital solvency ratios and MREL requirements in subsequent reporting periods - the Bank's Management Board based on the analysis of all aspects of the Bank's operations and its current and forecast financial position, concluded that the application of the going concern assumption in the preparation of these financial statements is appropriate.
In the report published for the third quarter of 2022, the negative impact of the "adjustment to the gross carrying amount of loans due to credit holidays" was presented in the "Consolidated statement of profit and loss" in a separate line, in the part presenting impairment losses/creation of provisions.
In the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2022, this method of recognizing the adjustment was changed in order to adapt to market practice and the "adjustment to the gross carrying amount of loans due to credit holidays" was recognized (also in a separate line) as a reduction in interest income from Financial assets measured at amortized cost. An appropriate change has been made to the data for 2022 in this report, adapting the presentation to the methodology used in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2022.
The Management Board approved these condensed consolidated interim financial statements on 26 th October 2023.

On 11 September 2019 The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in the case of Lexitor against SKOK Stefczyka, Santander Consumer Bank and mBank (case C 383/18) in which it stated that consumer has rights to demand the reduction of the total loan cost corresponding to interest and costs for the remaining term of the agreement in case of early repayment of loan.
Taking into consideration this verdict, the Group as at 30 September 2023 had a provision in the amount of PLN 77.8 million which was estimated based on the maximum amount of potential returns and the probability of payment being made.

On 29 March 2023 took place transfer of 80% of the shares (the "Shares") in Millennium Financial Services sp. z o.o. (the "Company") from the Bank to Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń na Życie Europa S.A. which acquired 72% of the Company's shares and Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń Europa S.A. which acquired 8% of the Company's shares (collectively the "Buyers") as well as payment of the price for the Shares to the Bank, amounting to PLN 500.0 million.
The sale of the Shares by the Bank to the Buyers constituted the finalisation of the Transaction and resulting in recognition of the correspondent positive financial result and triggers the commencement of the Strategic Insurance Cooperation between the Bank and the Buyers, as described in the Current Report No. 7/2023 of 13 February 2023.
Simultaneously, due to selling 80% of Company's shares and losing control over the Company, the Bank initially measured its remaining non-controlling stake in the Company at fair value, recording PLN 43,3 million (gross).
Additionally, the Bank recognised positive impact amounting to PLN 54.0 million (gross) as valuation of derivative resulting from potential future earnouts payments.
Considering Profit and Loss statement perspective: result realised on the sale (PLN 499.9 million; payment for the price minus book value of sold shares) and valuation of derivative resulting from the potential future earnout payments (PLN 54.0 million) were recorded in caption "Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss" whereas valuation of non-controlling remaining stake was recognised in "Other operating income" (PLN 43.3 million).

On February 2019 the Head of Western Pomeranian Customs & Tax Office (Zachodniopomorski Urząd Celno-Skarbowy w Szczecinie, ZUCS) commenced tax audits regarding the correctness of withholding tax (WHT) settlements for years 2015 and 2016. On 17 December 2019 the Bank received audit results as of 13 December 2019, in which ZUCS questioned WHT-exemption on coupon interest from bonds paid to MB Finance AB with the seat in Sweden constituting a collateral to 10Y subordinated bonds with a par value of EUR 150 mio. issued by this company in December 2007 (fully amortized in December 2017). On 11 June 2021 Bank received 2nd instance decisions of ZUCS decreasing the amount of WHT arrear from PLN 6.6 to 5.3 mio. This amount with penalty interests were paid by Bank on 18 June 2021. Bank lodged complaints on these decisions to the administrative court in Szczecin (WSA). WSA in its judgements as of 13 and 27 October 2021 wholly overruled both ZUCS's decisions. ZUCS appealed from these judgments to the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA).
On 13 April 2021 Head of ZUCS commenced a WHT audit for year 2017. As expected in the audit result ZUCS challenged WHT-exemption on coupon interests paid by Bank to MBF in this year as well (disputable WHT amount is ca. PLN 2.2 mio.). Bank does not agree with such findings as well and will continue a dispute with ZUCS. On 21 March 2022 Bank received the ZUCS's decision on WHT audit transformation into a tax proceeding. On 30 June 2022 Bank received the ZUCS's decision determining WHT arrear of ca. PLN 2.2 mio. Bank appealed from this decision. On 23 February 2023 WSA suspended the court litigation concerning WHT for 2017 until the final NSA's judgements regarding WHT for years 2015-16.
Bank received an expert opinion as of January 29, 2020 of tax professors from the Public Finances Law Department of the Faculty of Law and Administration at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, according to which ZUCS's statement violates binding tax law provisions.

At the implementation of IFRS 9 Group separated credit exposures which include, in the interest rate definition, leverage/multiplier feature and presents aforementioned exposures in these financial statements as "Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Credits and advances". The provisions of IFRS 9 indicate that the multiplier feature modifies money over time and causes the need to apply fair value measurement, however the economic sense of the transaction, i.e. portfolio management not based on fair value and maintaining the portfolio to obtain cash flows from the contract, constitute characteristics of portfolios valued at amortized cost. In 2021, as a result of a change in contractual provisions (eliminating the multiplier feature), some of these exposures began to be re-measured at amortized cost. The change concerned loans where clients fully repaid their commitment, the interest on which was calculated based on the old formula containing a multiplier. Exposures recorded after that time under new contractual conditions (without a multiplier) are measured at amortized cost.
The Bank writes down the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when there is no reasonable probability that it will be fully (total writes off) or partially (partial writes off) recovered. Following the recorded partial writes off the Bank provisioned (deducting the carrying value of gross receivables) penalty interest amounting to PLN 477 million as at 30.09.2023.

* In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group calculates interest on the loan portfolio with a recognized impairment based on the net exposure value. For this purpose, the so-called impaired interest adjustment ("KOIM") is calculated and recorded as a reduction of interest income. Aforementioned KOIM adjustment in the balance sheet is presented as an impairment allowances, and as a consequence the reconciliation of the change in impairment allowances requires consideration of the KOIM recognized in the interest income.
The Group records POCI assets in the balance sheet mainly as a result of recognition of impaired loans after the merger with Euro Bank and takeover of SKOK Piast. At the time of the merger, the aforementioned assets included in the Bank's books at fair value.
The value of POCI assets is as follows:
| Gross balance sheet value |
Accumulated impairment |
Net balance sheet value |

Risk management performs a key role in the strategy of balanced and sustainable development of the Group, supporting optimization of relationships between risk and returns within various business lines and maintenance of adequate risk profile relative to capital and liquidity.
To ensure effective risk management and coherent policy the Group has implemented risk management model under which credit, market, liquidity, operational risks, and capital requirements are managed in an integrated manner.
In the third quarter of 2023 the Bank Millennium Group, both in the corporate and retail segments, focused on introducing changes to the lending policy aimed at ensuring the appropriate quality of the portfolio in the new, more demanding economic environment.
In the area of credit risk, the Group has focused on adapting regulations, credit processes and monitoring to changed conditions.
In the corporate segment, the Group focused on analysing the loan portfolio and industries of borrowers to monitor risk, with particular emphasis on customers potentially most exposed to negative changes in the economic environment. Additionally, the Group worked on improving credit processes and products.
In the retail segment, the Group focused on adapting its lending policy to the changing macroeconomic environment, in particular, risk parameters related to the rising costs of household living were verified. Additionally, emphasis was placed on identifying customers who use support programs available on the market. In the area of mortgage exposures processes, additional steps were taken to improve cooperation with clients with liabilities in foreign currencies.
At the same time, the Group continued to implement changes aimed at improving the effectiveness of the risk assessment process for retail and mortgage-secured transactions through automation that does not increase risk exposure.
The Group assesses credit risk regardless of the method of classifying the portfolio of receivables from customers in the financial statements as a portfolio measured at amortized cost or a portfolio measured at fair value through profit or loss. The table below contains data on the entire portfolio of receivables from customers broken down into regular and past due exposures.
Changes in the loan portfolio of the Group after 9 months of 2023 are summarized below:

(*) Loans overdue not more than 4 days are treated as technical and are not shown in this category.
(**) Fair value adjustment is defined as the difference between the nominal value and the fair value of the portfolio measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value adjustment is influenced by considering the credit risk of the portfolio.

The main measure used by the Group to evaluate market risks is the parametric VaR (Value at Risk) model – an expected loss that may arise on the portfolio over a specified period (10-days holding period) and with specified probability (99% confidence level) from an adverse market movement. The market risk measurement, monitoring and reporting is conducted daily.
The market risk limits are revised at least once a year and to consider, inter alia, the change of the consolidated Own Funds, current and projected balance sheet structure as well as the market environment. The market risk limits valid in 3Q 2023 reflected the assumptions and risk appetite defined under Risk Strategy. The current limits in place have been valid since 1st June 2022. All excesses of market risk limits are always reported, documented, and ratified at the proper competence level. In the 3Q 2023, no excesses of the market risk limits were recorded.
Within the current market environment, the Group continued to act very prudently. Open positions contain mainly interest rate and FX risk instruments. According to the Risk Strategy approved in the Group, the FX open position is allowed, however should be kept at low levels. For this purpose, the Group has introduced a system of conservative limits for FX open positions (both Intraday and Overnight limits) and allows keeping FX open positions only in Trading Book. In the 3Q2023, the FX Total open position (Intraday as well as Overnight) remained below internal limits in place and well below 2% of Own Funds.
In 3Q2023, the VaR remained on average at the level of approx. PLN341.4m for the total Group, which is jointly Trading Book and Banking Book, (62% of the limit) and at approx. PLN6.0m for Trading Book (26% of the limit). The exposure to market risk at the end of September 2023 was approx. PLN 409.6m for Global Bank (74% of the limit) and approx. PLN8.7m for Trading Book (37% of the limit). It should be noted that the value at risk in Banking Book is only complementary risk measurement tool as positions are expected to be held to maturity and are normally not a subject to marked to market (see next section - Interest rate risk in Banking Book, IRRBB).
The market risk exposure in 3Q2023 in terms of value at risk for Trading Book, together with risk type division, is presented in the table below (PLN thousands).

VaR measures for market risk in Trading Book ('000 PLN)
In addition to above mention market risk limits, the stop loss limits are introduced for the financial markets' portfolios. The aim is to limit the maximum losses of the trading activity of the Group. In case of the limit is reached, a review of the management strategy and assumptions for the positions in question must be undertaken. Stop loss limits were not reached.

In case of the Banking Book, the main component of the market risk is interest rate risk. The exposure to interest rate risk in the Banking Book are primarily generated by the differences in repricing dates of assets and liabilities as well as its reference indexes, if contractually existing. It is specifically affected by the unbalance between assets and liabilities that have fixed rate, especially by the liabilities which cannot have interest rate lower than zero. Consequently, the level of sensitivity to interest rate changes is influenced by the level of interest rates taken as a reference. Additionally, due to specificity of the polish legal system, the interest rate of credits is limited (it cannot exceed two times Reference Rate of the National Bank of Poland increased by 7 percentage points). In situations of decreasing interest rates, the impact on Net Interest Income is negative and depends on the share of the fixed rate loan portfolio that is affected by the new maximum rate. On the other hand, assumptions regarding the timing and size of deposits repricing are also especially important when assessing the interest rate sensitivity and risk.
Regarding the interest rate risk in Banking Book, the following principles are in place:
The variations in market interest rates have an influence on the Group's net interest income, both under a short and medium-term perspective, at the same affecting economic value of equity in the long term. The measurement of both is complementary in understanding the complete scope of interest rate risk in Banking Book. For this reason, apart from daily market risk measurement in terms of value at risk, the scope of the additional measurement of interest rate risk covers both earnings-based and economic value measures, which are quarterly:
The interest rate risk measurement is carried for all the risk management areas in the Bank, with the particular attention on Banking Book.
The results of the above-mentioned analysis for net interest income (NII), BPVx100 and economic value measures were regularly monitored and reported to the Capital, Assets and Liabilities Committee, to Risk Committee, the Management Board and Supervisory Board. The results of the IRRBB measurement as of the end of September 2023 indicate that in the EVE perspective the Group is the most exposed to the scenario of interest rates increase, while in the earnings perspective – to a decrease. The supervisory outlier test results of September 2023 show that even under the most severe outlier test scenario, the decline of EVE for Banking Book is below supervisory limit of 15% of Tier 1. Similarly, decline of EVE under standard scenario of sudden parallel +/-200 basis points shift of the yield curve also stayed far below supervisory maximum of 20% of Own Funds.

The results of sensitivity of NII for the next 12 months after 30th September 2023 and for position in Polish Zloty in Banking Book are conducted under the following assumptions:
In a scenario of parallel decrease of interest rates by 100 bps, the results are negative and equal to -118 million or -2.26% of the Group's NII reference level (excluding financial impact of the cost of MREL bonds issue). In a scenario of parallel increase of interest rates by 100 bps, the results are positive and equal to 80 million or +1.53% of the Group's NII reference level.
The liquidity risk measurement, monitoring and reporting is conducted daily with the use of both measures defined by the supervisory authorities and internally, for which limits were established.
The liquidity risk limits are revised at least once a year to consider, inter alia, the change of the size of the consolidated own funds, current and expected balance sheet structure, historical limits' consumption, as well as current market conditions and supervisory requirements. The current limits in place have been valid since 1st of January 2023. Its levels were confirmed by the annual revision conducted and approved by the Risk Committee in December 2022.
In 3Q2023, the Group was characterized still by solid liquidity position. All the supervisory liquidity indicators remained significantly above minimum limits in place. According to rules in place, all eventual excesses of internal liquidity risk limits are always reported, documented, and ratified at the proper competence level. The steps taken as part of standard and binding risk management procedures have proved sufficient for managing liquidity in the current market environment.
The Group manages FX liquidity using FX-denominated deposits, own issue of EUR bonds as well as Cross Currency Swap and FX Swap transactions. The importance of swaps has been decreasing because of the reduction of the FX mortgage loan portfolio and the hedge in foreign currency of the provisions for legal risk. The swaps portfolio is diversified in term of counterparties and maturity dates. For most counterparties, the Group has signed a Credit Support Annex to the master agreements. As a result, in case of unfavourable changes of FX rates (PLN depreciation), the Group is obliged to place deposits as collateral with counterparties to secure the settlement of derivative instruments in the future, and in case of favourable FX rates changes (PLN appreciation) receives deposits as collateral from the counterparties. There is no relationship between level of the Bank's ratings and parameters of collateral in any of the signed ISDA Schedules and Credit Support Annexes (both international and domestic). A potential downgrade in any rating will not have an impact on the method of calculation or collateral exchange. It should be noted that the need of currency swaps has been decreasing at a relevant pace due to the reduction in the FX mortgage loan portfolio and hedging of FX mortgage provisions.
The Group assesses the possibility of unfavourable changes of FX rates (especially CHF and EUR, which causes increase of liquidity needs), analyses the impact on liquidity risk and reflects this risk in the liquidity plans.

In 3Q2023, the Group maintained Loan-to-Deposit ratio well below 100%. This ratio was equalled 70% at the end of September 2023 (74% at the end of June 2023). The liquid assets portfolio is treated by the Group's as liquidity reserve, which will overcome crisis situations. This portfolio consists of liquid debt securities issued or guaranteed by Polish government, other EU's sovereigns, and multilateral development banks,' supplemented by the cash and exposures to the National Bank of Poland. At the end of September 2023, the share of liquid debt securities (including NBP Bills) in total securities portfolio amounted to 99% and allowed to reach the level of approx. PLN 38.6 billion (31% of total assets), whereas at the end of June 2023 was at the level of approx. PLN 29.2 billion (25% of total assets).
| Main liquidity ratios | 30.06.2023 | 30.09.2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans/Deposits ratio (%) | 74% | 70% |
| Liquid assets portfolio (PLN million)* | 31 118 | 39 902 |
| Liquidity Coverage Requirement, LCR (%) | 260% | 299% |
(*) Liquid Assets Portfolio: The sum of cash, nostro balance (reduced by the required obligatory reserve), unencumbered liquid securities portfolio, NBP-Bills and short-term, due from banks (up to 1 month).
Total Clients' deposits of the Group reached the level of PLN106.2 billion (PLN100.6 billion at the end of June 2023). The share of funds from individuals in total Client's deposits equalled to approx. 69.9% at the end of September 2023 (71.3% at the end of June 2023). The maintenance of high share of funds from individuals had a positive impact on the Group's liquidity and supported the safe compliance of the supervisory measures.
The main source of financing remains deposits base, the large, diversified, and stable funding from retail, corporate and public sectors. The deposit base is supplemented by the deposits from financial institutions and other money market operations. The source of medium-term funding remained also subordinated debt, own EUR bonds issue and securitization of loan portfolio.
The level of deposit concentration is regularly monitored and did not have any negative impact on the stability of the deposit base in 3Q2023. However, in case of significant increase of the share of the largest depositors, the additional funds from the depositors are not treated as stable. Despite of that, to prevent deposit base fluctuations, the Group maintains the reserves of liquid assets in the form of securities portfolio.
According to the final provisions of CRD V/CRR II package, the Group is daily calculating the liquidity coverage requirement (LCR) and monthly net stable funding requirement (NSFR). In 3Q2023, the regulatory minimum of 100% for both LCR and NSFR was fulfilled by the Group.
The LCR stayed at safe level of 299% at the end of September 2023 (260% at the end of June 2023). The comfortable liquidity position was kept due to increase of the Clients' deposits and EUR bonds own issue that guaranteed safe level of liquid assets portfolio.
Additionally, the Group employs an internal structural liquidity analysis based on cumulative liquidity gaps calculated on an actuarial basis (i.e., assuming a certain probability of cash flow occurrence). In 3Q2023 the internally defined limit of 12% total assets was not breached and the liquidity position was confirmed as solid.
Stress tests as regards structural liquidity are conducted at least quarterly to understand the Group's liquidity risk profile, to make sure that the Group can meet its commitments in the event of a liquidity crisis and to contribute to preparing a contingency plan regarding liquidity and management decisions.
The Group has also contingency procedures for an increased liquidity risk situation – the Liquidity Contingency Plan, which is revised and tested at least once a year to ensure that it is operationally robust.

In the third quarter of 2023 there could be observed a continuous use of standards implemented for the purpose of efficient management of operational risk, which are in line with legal provisions in force and the best practice of national and international financial institutions.
The operational risk management model, implemented by the Group is reviewed and accepted on a regular basis by the Management Board.
In keeping with the adopted solution, risk management is a process of continuous improvement as regards identification, assessment, monitoring, control/mitigating, and reporting by complementary activities, which effectively translates into a real reduction in the level of operational risk in the business tasks.
In the third quarter of 2023 the registered level of operational risk losses was at the acceptable level.
Capital management relates to two areas: capital adequacy management and capital allocation. For both areas, management goals were set.
The goal of capital adequacy management is: (a) meeting the requirements specified in external regulations (regulatory capital adequacy) and (b) ensuring the solvency in normal and stressed conditions (economic capital adequacy/internal capital). Completing that goal, the Bank strives to achieve internal long-term capital limits (targets), defined in Risk Strategy.
Capital allocation purpose is to create value for shareholders by maximizing the return on risk in business activity, considering established risk tolerance.
In a scope of capital management process, there is also a capital planning process. The goal of capital planning is to designate the own funds (capital base that is risk-taking capacity) and capital usage (regulatory capital requirements and economic capital) in a way to ensure that capital targets/limits shall be met, given forecasted business strategy and risk profile – in normal and stressed macroeconomic conditions.
The Bank and the Group are obliged by law to meet minimum own funds and leverage ratio requirements, set in art. 92 of the Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council as of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertaking, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (CRR II). At the same time, the following levels, recommendations, and buffers were included in capital limits/targets setting:
• Pillar II FX mortgage loans buffer (P2R buffer) - KNF decision regarding order to maintain additional own funds to secure risk resulting from FX mortgage loans granted to households, under the art. 138.2.2 of Banking Act. A value of that buffer is defined for particular banks by KNF every year because of Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) and relates to risk that is in KNF's opinion - inadequately covered by minimum own funds requirements, set in CRR art. 92. At present, the buffer was set by KNF in the decisions issued in the end of 2022 in the level of 1.95pp (Bank) and 1.94pp (Group) as for Total Capital Ratio (TCR), which corresponds to capital requirements over Tier 1 ratio of 1.47pp in Bank and of 1.46pp in Group, and which corresponds to capital requirements over CET 1 ratio of 1.10pp in Bank and 1.09pp in Group).

In December 2022, the Bank received a recommendation to maintain, own funds to cover an additional capital charge ("P2G") to absorb potential losses resulting from the occurrence of stresses, at the level of 1.72pp and 1.75pp (on an individual and consolidated level) over the OCR value. According to the recommendation, the additional capital charge should consist fully of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital).
Capital adequacy of the Group was as follows (PLN mn, %, pp):
| Capital adequacy | 30.09.2023 | 30.06.2023 | 30.09.2022 |

In September 2023, the Bank received the decision of the KNF to consent to the inclusion of net profit generated in the first half of 2023 in the amount of PLN 338.6 million at the stand-alone level and in the amount of PLN 357.9 million at the consolidated level in Common Equity Tier 1 capital.
In July 2023, Millennium Leasing concluded a synthetic securitization transaction of lease receivables, which had a positive impact on the Group's capital ratios (approximately 47 bps on the Tier 1 ratio and approximately 62 bps on the total capital ratio).
In Q3 2023, there was a significant increase in capital ratios. The total capital ratio increased by 187 bps and the Tier 1 capital ratio (equal to the Common Core Tier 1 capital ratio) by 180 bps. The improvement in indicators was mainly determined by a significant increase in own funds, by a total of PLN 509 million (7.3%). This was primarily due to the above-mentioned inclusion of the net profit for the first half of 2023 in own funds (an increase of PLN 358 million) and a better market valuation of bonds valued through other comprehensive income (an increase of PLN 132 million). On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in own funds requirements - by PLN 180 million/4.8%. The reason for this was mainly the effect of the above-mentioned securitization transaction and other activities aimed at optimizing risk-weighted assets.
The leverage ratio improved by 12 bps. due to the mentioned increase in own funds accompanied by an increase in the leverage exposure measure. It is at a safe level of 4.72%, significantly exceeding the regulatory minimum of 3%.
The minimum capital ratios required by the KNF in terms of the overall buffer requirement (OCR) are achieved with a large surplus at the end of the third quarter of 2023. Also, in terms of the levels expected by KNF, including the additional P2G capital charge, they were achieved for all capital ratios.
The Bank manages MREL indicators in a manner analogous to capital adequacy management.
The Bank received in June 2023 the joint decision of the resolution authorities obliging to meet MREL requirements. At the moment of communication of the decision, the Bank at the consolidated level is obliged to meet the minimum MRELtrea requirements of 14.42% and MRELtem of 4.46%. The minimum subordination MRELtrea was set at 14.28% and MRELtem 4.44%. At the same time, the above-mentioned decision sets updated minimum requirements that must be met by December 31, 2023, at the level of 18.89% and 5.91% (consolidated MRELtrea and MRELtem).
In addition to these MREL levels, the Bank also needs to meet MREL with Combined Buffer Requirement (currently 2.75%).
| MREL | 30.09.2023 | 30.06.2023 | 30.09.2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRELtrea ratio | 22,05% | 14.93% | 12.39% |
| Minimum required level MRELtrea | 14,42% | 14.42% | 15.60% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtrea (p.p.) | 7,63 | 0.51 | -3.21 |
| Minimum required level including Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR) | 17,17% | 17.17% | 18.35% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtrea+CBR (p.p.) | 4,88 | -2.24 | -5.96 |
| MRELtem ratio | 7,72% | 5.87% | 5.60% |
| Minimum required level of MRELtem | 4,46% | 4.46% | 3.00% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtem (p.p.) | 3,26 | 1.41 | 2.60 |

In terms of the MRELtrea and MRELtem requirements, the Group presents a surplus compared to the minimum required levels at the reporting date and also meets the MRELtrea Requirement after the inclusion of the Combined Buffer Requirement. The Group also expects to meet the minimum MREL requirements at the end of the year, which should be achieved by December 31, 2023.
Due to the Bank's compliance with the interim MREL requirements, the circumstances underlying the ban on the Bank's distribution of profits above the maximum amount subject to distribution related to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (M-MDA) issued by the Bank Guarantee Fund in June 2023 have ceased to exist. Due to the above, the Management Board of BFG waived the above ban, which the Bank informed about in Current Report No. 33/2023.
After the improvement in the capital ratios above described, the Bank's priority was to take further necessary steps towards meeting the MREL requirements, taking also into consideration the level required after the end of the interim period on 31 December 2023. Considering the above, in September 2023, the Bank successfully completed the subscription of non-preferred senior bonds with a total value of EUR 500 million under the Eurobond Issuance Program with a total nominal value of no more than EUR 3 billion (Current Reports No. 27/2023 and 30/2023).
The Bank plans to also comply with final MREL requirements in force from 31 December 2023 through a combination of organic capital generation and optimization of risk weighted assets (including securitisations).

The best reflection of fair value of financial instruments is the price which can be obtained for the sale of assets or paid for the transfer of liability in case of market transactions (an exit price). For many products and transactions for which market value to be taken directly from the quotations in an active market (marking-to-market) is not available, the fair value must be estimated using internal models based on discounted cash flows (marking-to-model). Financial cash flows for the various instruments are determined according to their individual characteristics, and discounting factors include changes in time both in market interest rates and margins.
According to IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement" in order to determinate fair value the Group applies models that are appropriate under existing circumstances and for which sufficient input data is available, based to the maximum extent on observable input whereas minimizing use of unobservable input, namely:
Level 1 - valuation based on the data fully observable (active market quotations);
Level 2 - valuation models using the information not constituting the data from level 1, but observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 - valuation models using unobservable data (not derived from an active market).
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value are applied consistently. Change in valuation techniques resulting in a transfer between these methods occurs when:
All estimation models are arbitrary to some extent and this is why they reflect only the value of those instruments for which they were built. In these circumstances the presented differences between fair values and balance-sheet values cannot be understood to mean adjustments of the economic value of the Group. Fair value of these instruments is determined solely in order to meet the disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 and IFRS 7.
The main assumptions and methods applied in estimating fair value of assets and liabilities of the Group are as follows:
The fair value of these instruments was determined by discounting the future principal and interest flows with current rates, assuming that the flows arise on contractual dates.
Loans and advances granted to customers valued at amortised cost
The fair value of such instruments without specified repayment schedule, given their short-term nature and the time-stable policy of the Group with respect to this portfolio, is close to balancesheet value.
With respect to floating rate leasing products fair value was assessed by adjusting balance-sheet value with discounted cash flows resulting from difference of spreads.

The fair value of instruments with defined maturity is estimated by discounting related cash flows on contractual dates and under contractual conditions with the use of current zero-coupon rates and credit risk margins.
In case of mortgage loans due to their long-term nature estimation of the future cash flows also includes: the effect of early repayment and liquidity risk in foreign currencies.
The fair value of debt securities at amortised cost (mainly Treasury bonds in the Held to Collect portfolio) was calculated on market quotations basis.
The fair value of such instruments without maturity or with maturity under 30 days is considered by the Group to be close to balance-sheet value.
Fair value of instruments due and payable in 30 days or more is determined by discounting future cash flows from principal and interest (including the current average margins by major currencies and time periods) using current interest (including the original average margins by major currencies and time periods) in contractual terms.
The fair value of these financial instruments is estimated on the basis of a model used for determining the market value of floating-rate bonds with the current level of market rates and historical margin for credit risk and in the case of fixed-rate coupon bonds, by discounting cash flows at the current level of market rates and the original credit risk margin. Similar as in loan portfolio the Bank includes the level of the original margin as a part of mid-term cost of financing obtained in the past in relation to the current margin level for the comparable instruments, as long as reliable assessment is possible. Due to lack of the mid-term loans liquid market as a reference to estimate current level of margins, the Bank used the original margin.

The table below presents results of the above-described analyses as at 30.09.2023 (data in PLN thousand):
* The negative impact of fair value valuation of the loans portfolio is largely attributable to growth of loan spreads. The methodology, which the Bank uses for valuation of the loans portfolio, assumes that current spreads best reflect existing market conditions and economic situation. A corresponding rule is widely applied for valuation of debt securities, which are not quoted on active markets. In result, paradoxically whenever the spreads of new loans increase, fair value of the "old" loans portfolio falls.
Models used for determination of the fair value of financial instruments presented in the above table and not recognized at fair value in Group's balance sheet, use techniques based on parameters not derived from the market. Therefore, they are considered as the third level of valuation.

For options on indexes concluded on an inactive market, and FX options the Group concludes backto-back transactions on the interbank market, in result estimated credit risk component has no impact on the financial result.
Accordingly Group's estimation impact of adjustments for counterparty credit risk was not significant from the point of view of individual derivative transactions concluded by the Bank. Consequently, the Bank does not consider the impact of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of derivative transactions for significant and in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 13.73 does not classify such transactions for level 3 fair value measurements.

Below please find the data on the court cases pending, brought up by and against entities of the Group. A separate category are the proceedings related to the activities of the Tax Control Authority described in Chapter 4. note 11) "Corporate Income Tax".
Value of the court litigations, as at 30.09.2023, in which entities of the Group were a plaintiff, totalled PLN 2,595.3 million. The increase in the value of claims in cases brought by the Bank compared to previous periods results from the fact that lawsuits were filed against clients from the portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans.
On January 3 2018, the Bank received decision of the Chairman of the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers (OPCC Chairman) , in which the OPCC Chairman found infringement by the Bank of the rights of consumers. In the opinion of the OPCC Chairman the essence of the violation is that the Bank informed consumers (it regards 78 agreements) in responses to their complaints, that the court verdict stating the abusiveness of the provisions of the loan agreement regarding exchange rates does not apply to them. According to the position of the OPCC Chairman the abusiveness of contract's clauses determined by the court in the course of abstract control is constitutive and effective for every contract from the beginning. As a result of the decision, the Bank was obliged to:
1) send information on the UOKiK's decision to the said 78 clients,
2) place the information on decision and the decision itself on the website and on Twitter,
3) to pay a fine amounting to PLN 20.7 mln.
The Bank lodged an appeal within the statutory time limit.
On January 7, 2020, the first instance court dismissed the Bank's appeal in its entirety. The bank appealed against the judgment within the statutory deadline. The court presented the view that the judgment issued in the course of the control of a contractual template (in the course of an abstract control), recognizing the provisions of the template as abusive, determines the abusiveness of similar provisions in previously concluded contracts. Therefore, the information provided to consumers was incorrect and misleading. As regards the penalty imposed by OPCC, the court pointed out that the policy of imposing penalties by the Office had changed in the direction of tightening penalties and that the court agrees with this direction.
In the Bank's assessment, the Court should not assess the Bank's behaviour in 2015 from the perspective of today's case-law views on the importance of abstract control (it was not until January 2016 that the Supreme Court's resolution supporting the view of the OPCC Chairman was published), the more penalties for these behaviours should not be imposed using current policy. The above constitutes a significant argument against the validity of the judgment and supports the appeal which the Bank submitted to the Court of second instance.
The second instance court, in its judgment of February 24, 2022, completely revoked the decision of the OPCC Chairman. On August 31, 2022, the OPCC Chairman lodged a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court. The Bank believes that the prognosis regarding the litigation chances of winning the case before the Supreme Court is positive.
The Bank (along with other banks) is also a party to the dispute with OPCC, in which the OPCC Chairman recognized the practice of participating banks, including Bank Millennium, in an agreement aimed at jointly setting interchange fee rates charged on transactions made with Visa and Mastercard cards as restrictive of competition, and by decision of 29 December 2006 imposed a fine on the Bank in the amount of PLN 12.2 million. The Bank, along with other banks, appealed the decision.

In connection with the judgment of the Supreme Court and the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw of November 23, 2020, the case is currently pending before the court of first instance - the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. The Bank has created a provision in the amount equal to the imposed penalty.
Proceedings in the matter of recognition of provisions of the agreement format as abusive
On 22 September 2020 The Bank received decision of the Chairman of the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers (OPCC Chairman) recognising clauses stipulating principles of currency exchange applied in the so-called anti-spread annex as abusive and prohibited the use thereof.
Penalty was imposed upon the Bank in the amount of 10.5 million PLN. Penalty amount takes account of two mitigating circumstances: cooperation with the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers and discontinuation of the use of provisions in question.
The Bank was also requested, after the decision becomes final and binding, to inform consumers, by registered mail, to the effect that the said clauses were deemed to be abusive and therefore not binding upon them (without need to obtain court's decision confirming this circumstance) and publish the decision in the case on the Bank's web site.
In the decision justification delivered in writing the OPCC Chairman stated that FX rates determined by the Bank were determined at Bank's discretion (on the basis of a concept, not specified in any regulations, of average inter-bank market rate). Moreover, client had no precise knowledge on where to look for said rates since provision referred to Reuters, without precisely defining the relevant site.
Provisions relating to FX rates in Bank's tables were challenged since the Bank failed to define when and how many times a day these tables were prepared and published.
In justification of the decision, the OPCC Chairman also indicated that in the course of the proceeding, Bank Millennium presented various proposed solutions, which the OPCC Chairman deemed to be insufficient.
The Bank appealed against the said decision within statutory term.
On March 31, 2022, the first instance court revoked the entire decision of the Chairman of the OPCC. On May 23, 2022, the Chairman of the OPCC filed an appeal. On October 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal changed the judgment of the court of first instance and shared the position of the Chairman of the OPCC as to the abusiveness of the provisions regarding the determination of exchange rates in the annexes concluded with foreign currency borrowers. On November 21, 2022, the Court of Appeals, at the request of the Bank, suspended the execution of the judgment until the end of the cassation proceedings. On January 30, 2023 the Bank filled a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.
As at 30.09.2023, the most important proceedings, in the group of the court cases where the Group's companies were defendant, were following:

Other banks are the defendant. Plaintiffs in these cases also accuse banks of acting as part of an agreement restricting competition on the acquiring services market by jointly setting the level of the national interchange fee in the years 2008-2014.
As at 30.09.2023, the total value of the subjects of the other litigations in which the Group's companies appeared as defendant, stood at PLN 5,127.7 million (excluding the class actions described below and in the Chapter 10). In this group the most important category are cases related with FX loans mortgage portfolio.
On the 3rd of December 2015 a class action was served on the Bank. A group of the Bank's debtors (454 borrowers party to 275 loan agreements) is represented by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman in Olsztyn. The plaintiffs demanded payment of the amount of PLN 3.5 million, claiming that the clauses of the agreements, pertaining to the low down payment insurance, are unfair and thus not binding. Plaintiff extended the group in the court letter filed on the 4th of April 2018, therefore the claims increased from PLN 3.5 million to over PLN 5 million.
On the 1st of October 2018, the group's representative corrected the total amount of claims pursued in the proceedings and submitted a revised list of all group members, covering the total of 697 borrowers – 432 loan agreements. The value of the subject of the dispute, as updated by the claimant, is PLN 7,371,107.94.
By the resolution of 1 April 2020 the court established the composition of the group as per request of the plaintiff and decided to take witness evidence in writing. The hearing date was set for October 18, 2024.
As at 30 September 2023, there were also 149 individual court cases regarding LTV insurance (cases in which only a claim for the reimbursement of the commission or LTV insurance fee is presented).
On 13 August 2020 the Bank received lawsuit from the Financial Ombudsman. The Financial Ombudsman, in the lawsuit, demands that the Bank and the Insurer (TU Europa) be ordered to discontinue performing unfair market practices involving, as follows:
Furthermore, the Ombudsman requires the Bank to be ordered to publish, on its web site, information on use of unfair market practices.

The lawsuit does not include any demand for payment, by the Bank, of any specified amounts. Nonetheless, if the practice is deemed to be abusive it may constitute grounds for future claims to be filed by individual clients.
The case is being examined by the court of first instance.
By September 30, 2023, the Bank recorded the receipt of 39 lawsuits by borrowers of mortgage loans in PLN for reimbursement of benefits provided under the loan agreement. The borrowers' allegations focus on the WIBOR ratio as an incomprehensible, unverifiable element affecting the consumer's liability, as well as the issue of insufficient information on the effects of variable interest rates provided to the consumer by the bank before the conclusion of the contract.
Based on publicly available information, it can be assumed that there will be an increase in the number of lawsuits concerning mortgage loans in PLN. This phenomenon affects the entire sector of banking services. It is possible that a "new business model" will be created in the area of law firms, which consists in questioning mortgage contracts containing a variable interest rate clause based on the WIBOR reference index.
The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) announced that it had assessed the ability of the WIBOR interest rate reference index to measure the market and economic realities. The KNF stated that the WIBOR interest rate reference index is capable of measuring the market and economic realities for which it was established. According to the Commission's assessment, the WIBOR ratio responds appropriately to changes in liquidity conditions, changes in central bank rates and economic realities (https://www.knf.gov.pl/komunikacja/komunikaty?articleId=82924&p_id=18 ).
On July 26, 2023, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) presented its position on legal and economic issues related to mortgage loan agreements in Polish currency in which the WIBOR interest rate reference index is used. This position can be used in court proceedings and can then be treated as an 'amicus curiae' opinion. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority stated that the WIBOR reference index meets all legal requirements. In the opinion of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, there are no grounds to question the credibility and legality of WIBOR, in particular in the context of the use of this indicator in mortgage loan agreements in the Polish currency (Stanowisko_UKNF_dot_zagadnien_prawnych_i_ekonomicznych_zw_ze_wskaznikiem_referencyjnym_ WIBOR_83233.pdf).
FX mortgage loans legal risk is described in the Chapter 10. "Legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans".

On September 30, 2023, the Bank had 19,849 loan agreements and additionally 1,635 loan agreements from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans submitted to the courts (68% loans agreements before the courts of first instance and 32% loans agreements before the courts of second instance) with the total value of claims filed by the plaintiffs amounting to PLN 3,780.4 million and CHF 260.4 million (Bank Millennium portfolio: PLN 3,467.9 million and CHF 253 million and former Euro Bank portfolio: PLN 312.4 million and CHF 7.4 million). Out of 19,849 BM loan agreements in ongoing individual cases 207 are also part of class action. From the total number of individual litigations against the Bank approximately 2,000 or 10% were submitted by borrowers that had already naturally or early fully repaid the loan or were converted to polish zloty at the moment of submission and had not a settlement agreement and approximately another 700 cases correspond to loans that were fully repaid since then (as court proceedings are lengthy).
The claims formulated by the clients in individual proceedings primarily concern the declaration of invalidity of the contract and payment for reimbursement of paid principal and interest instalments as undue performance, due to the abusive nature of indexation clauses, or maintenance of the agreement in PLN with interest rate indexed to CHF Libor.
In addition, the Bank is a party to the group proceedings (class action) subject matter of which is to determine the Bank's liability towards the group members based on unjust enrichment (undue benefit) ground in connection with the foreign currency mortgage loans concluded. It is not a payment dispute. The judgment in these proceedings will not directly grant any amounts to the group members. The number of credit agreements covered by these proceedings is 3 273. Out of 3,273 loan agreements in class action 207 are also part of ongoing individual cases, 770 concluded settlements and 4 received final verdicts (invalidation of loan agreement). On 24 May 2022 the court issued a judgment on the merits, dismissing the claim in full. On 13 December 2022 the claimant filed an appeal against the judgment of 24 May 2022.
The pushy advertising campaign observed in the public domain affects the number of court disputes. Until the end of 2019, 1,985 individual claims were filed against the Bank (in addition, 236 against former Euro Bank), in 2020 the number increased by 3,007 (265), in 2021 the number increased by 6,155 (423), in 2022 the number increased by 5,752 (408), while in the first three quarters of 2023 the number increased by 5,107 (444).
Based on ZBP (the Polish Banking Association) data gathered from all banks having FX mortgage loans, vast majority of disputes were finally resolved against the banks. As far as the Bank Millennium (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) is concerned, from 2015 until the end of the third quarter of 2023, 2,570 cases were finally resolved (2,493 in claims submitted by clients against the Bank and 77 in claims submitted by the Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) out of which 726 were settlements, 52 were remissions, 61 rulings were favorable for the Bank and 1,731 were unfavorable including both invalidation of loan agreements as well as conversions into PLN+LIBOR. The Bank files appeals against negative judgements of the courts of 1st instance declaring invalidation of loan agreements. Simultaneously the Bank undertakes proper legal actions in order to secure repayment of initially disbursed capital of the loan.
The outstanding gross balance of the loan agreements under individual court cases and class action against the Bank (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) on 30.09.2023 was PLN 6,257 million (of which the outstanding amount of the loan agreements under the class action proceeding was 814 million PLN).

If all Bank Millennium's originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court proceedings would be declared invalid without any compensation for the use of capital, the pre-tax cost could reach PLN 6,615 million. Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final court jurisprudence in this regard.
In the 9 months of 2023, the Bank created PLN 2 208,1 million of provisions for Bank Millennium originated portfolio and PLN 155,7 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio. The balance sheet value of provisions for the Bank Millennium portfolio at the end of September 2023 was at the level of PLN 6 980,2 million, and PLN 536,0 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio.
The methodology developed by the Bank of calculating provisions for legal risk involved with indexed loans is based on the following main parameters:

The Bank is open to negotiate case by case favourable conditions for early repayment or conversion of loans to PLN. As a result of these negotiations, the number of active FX mortgage loans originated by Bank Millennium decreased by 20,355: 1,362 in 2020; 8,450 in 2021; 7,943 in 2022 and 2,600 in the first three quarters of 2023. As of the end of the third quarter of 2023, the Bank had 34,076 active FX mortgage loans. Cost incurred in conjunctions with these negotiations totalled PLN 1,220 million: PLN 44.4 million in 2020; PLN 364.6 million in 2021; PLN 515.2 million in 2022 and PLN 295.8 million in the first three quarters of 2023 is presented mainly in 'Result on exchange differences' and also in 'Result on modification' in the profit and loss statement (the values of costs charged to particular items of the Income Statement due to settlements are presented in Note 10 in Chapter 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements).
Legal risk from former Euro Bank portfolio is fully covered by Indemnity Agreement with Societe Generale.
The Bank analyzed the sensitivity of the methodology for calculating provisions, for which a change in the parameters would affect the value of the estimated loss to the legal risk of litigation:
| Parameter | Scenario | Impact on the loss | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in the assumed number of litigation |
In addition to assumed number, 1,000 new customers file a lawsuit against the Bank |
PLN 173 mln | |
| Change of estimated losses for each variant of judgment |
Change of losses for each judgment variant by 1 p.p |
PLN 70 mln | |
| Change in probability of success in negotiations with court client |
Change of probability by 1 p.p | PLN 21 mln |
On December 8, 2020, Mr. Jacek Jastrzębski, the Chairman of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ('PFSA') proposed a 'sector' solution to address the sector risks related to FX mortgages. The solution would consist in offering banks' clients a voluntary possibility of concluding arrangements based on which a client would settle a CHF Mortgage Loan as if it was a PLN loan bearing interest at an appropriate WIBOR rate increased by the margin historically employed for such loans. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the Bank has not taken any decision regarding the implementation of this solution, but cannot exclude implementing it in the future. The decision to generally implement this solution could imply the need of creating upfront provisions for the losses resulting from the conversion of CHF Mortgage Loans. The Bank in practice has been using elements of such solution on many individual negotiations with FX mortgage borrowers, including in the course of court proceedings.
Due to the circumstances stemming from the CJEU verdict in case C-520/21 (below described), the possibility of successful implementation of a general offer of KNF solution is low.
Finally it should also be mentioned, that the Bank, as at 30.09.2023, had to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements related to FX mortgage portfolio risks (Pillar II FX buffer) in the amount of 1.95 p.p. (1.94 p.p. at the Group level), part of which is allocated to operational/legal risk.
On 3 October 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union ('the CJEU') issued the judgment in Case C-260/18 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court of Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The judgment of the CJEU, as regards the interpretation of European Union law made therein, is binding on domestic courts. The judgment in question interpreted Article 6 of Directive 93/13. In the light of the subject matter judgment the said provision must be interpreted in such a way that (i) the national court may invalidate a credit agreement if the removal of unfair terms detected in this agreement would alter the nature of the main subject-matter of the contract; (ii) the effects for the consumer's situation

resulting from the cancellation of the contract must be assessed in the light of the circumstances existing or foreseeable at the time when the dispute arose and the will of the consumer is decisive as to whether he wishes to maintain the contract; (iii) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the filling-in of gaps in the contract caused by the removal of unfair terms from the contract solely on the basis of national legislation of a general nature or established customs; (iv) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the maintenance of unfair terms in the contract if the consumer has not consented to the maintenance of such terms. It can be noticed the CJEU found doubtful the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN while keeping interest calculated according to LIBOR.
The CJEU judgment concerns only the situation where the national court has previously found the contract term to be abusive. It is the exclusive competence of the national courts to assess, in the course of judicial proceedings, whether a particular contract term can be regarded as abusive in the circumstances of the case.
On 29th April 2021, the CJEU issued the judgement in the case C-19/20 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court in Gdańsk in the case against of ex-BPH S.A., CJEU said that:
(i) it is for the national court to find that a term in a contract is unfair, even if it has been contractually amended by those parties. Such a finding leads to the restoration of the situation that the consumer would have been in in the absence of the term found to be unfair, except where the consumer, by means of amendment of the unfair term, has waived such restoration by free and informed consent. However, it does not follow from Council Directive 93/13 that a finding that the original term is unfair would, in principle, lead to annulment of the contract, since the amendment of that term made it possible to restore the balance between the obligations and rights of those parties arising under the contract and to remove the defect which vitiated it.
(ii) the national court may remove only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where the deterrent objective pursued by Council Directive 93/13 is ensured by national legislative provisions governing the use of that term, provided that that element consists of a separate contractual obligation, capable of being subject to an individual examination of its unfair nature. At the same time, provisions of the Directive preclude the referring court from removing only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where such removal would amount to revising the content of that term by altering its substance.
(iii) the consequences of a judicial finding that a term if a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair are covered by national law and the question of continuity of the contract should be assessed by the national court of its own motion in accordance with an objective approach on the basis of those provisions.
(iv) the national court, finding that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, shall inform the consumer, in the context of the national procedural rules after both parties have been heard, of the legal consequences entailed by annulment of the contract, irrespective of whether the consumer is represented by a professional representative.
On November 18, 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in case C-212/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The CJEU stated that:
(i) The content of the clause of the loan agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer fixing the purchase and sale price of the foreign currency to which the loan is indexed should, on the basis of clear and comprehensible criteria, enable the consumer who is reasonably well informed and sufficiently observant and rational to understand how the exchange rate of the foreign currency used to calculate the amount of the loan instalments is determined, so that the consumer is able to determine himself at any time the exchange rate used by the entrepreneur.

(ii) A national court which has found that a term of the agreement concluded between an entrepreneur and a consumer is unfair cannot interpret that term in order to mitigate its unfairness, even if such an interpretation would correspond to the common will of the parties.
On 10 June 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued an order in case C-198/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Santander Bank Polska SA. The CJEU stated that the protection provided for in Council Directive 93/13/EEC is granted to all consumers, not just those who can be considered to be "duly informed and reasonably observant and circumspect average consumer".
On 8 September 2022, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in joined cases C-80/21, C-81/21, C-82/21 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Śródmieście in Warsaw in cases against Deutsche Bank SA and mBank SA. The CJEU stated that:
(i) A national court may find that the parts of a contractual term of the agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which render it unfair are unfair, if such a deletion would not amount to a change in the content of that term that affects its substance, which is for the referring court to verify.
(ii) A national court cannot, after annulling an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which does not render the agreement invalid in its entirety, replace that term with a supplementary provision of the national law.
(iii) A national court may not, after having declared invalid an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which entails the invalidity of that agreement in its entirety, replace the contractual term which has been declared invalid either by interpretation of the parties' declaration of intent in order to avoid the cancellation of that agreement or by a provision of national law of a supplementary nature, even if the consumer has been informed of the effects of the invalidity of that agreement, and accepted them.
(iv) The ten-year limitation period for a consumer's claim seeking reimbursement of sums unduly paid to the entrepreneur in performance of an unfair term of a loan agreement does not start to run on the date of each performance made by the consumer if the consumer was not able on that date to assess on his own the unfairness of the contractual term or if he had not become aware of the unfair nature of that term and without taking into account the circumstances that the agreement provided for a repayment period – in this case thirty years – well in excess of the ten-year statutory limitation period.
On March 16, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-6/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw-Wola in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A.. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) in the event that a contract concluded between a consumer and a seller or supplier is declared invalid because one of its terms is unfair, it is for the Member States, by means of their national law, to make provision for the effects of that invalidation, in compliance with the protection granted to the consumer by that directive, in particular, by ensuring the restoration of the legal and factual situation that he or she would have been in if that unfair term had not existed.
ii) a national court is not allowed, first, to examine of its own motion, without any prerogative conferred on it by national law in that regard, the financial situation of a consumer who has sought the invalidation of the contract between him or her and a seller or supplier on account of the presence of an unfair term without which the contract cannot legally continue to exist, even if that invalidation is liable to expose the consumer to particularly unfavourable consequences and, second, to refuse to declare that invalidation where the consumer has expressly sought it, after being objectively and exhaustively informed of the legal consequences and the particularly unfavourable financial consequences which it may have for him or her.

iii) a national court is not allowed, after it has found that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, to fill gaps resulting from the removal of the unfair term contained therein by the application of a provision of national law which cannot be characterised as a supplementary provision. However, it is for the national court, taking account of its domestic law as a whole, to take all the measures necessary to protect the consumer from the particularly unfavourable consequences which annulment of the contract might entail for him or her.
On June 8, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-570/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) provisions of Council Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, covers a person who has concluded a loan contract intended for a purpose in part within and in part outside his or her trade, business or profession, together with a joint-borrower who did not act within his or her trade, business or profession, where the trade, business or professional purpose is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract.
ii) provisions of Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that in order to determine whether a person falls within the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, and, specifically, whether the trade, business or professional purpose of a loan contract concluded by that person is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract, the referring court is required to take into consideration all the relevant circumstances surrounding that contract, both quantitative and qualitative, such as, in particular, the distribution of the borrowed capital between, on the one hand, a trade, business or profession and, on the other hand, a nonprofessional activity and, where there are several borrowers, the fact that only one of them is pursuing a professional purpose or that the lender made the grant of credit intended for consumer purposes conditional on a partial allocation of the amount borrowed to the repayment of debts connected with a trade, business or profession.
On June 15, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-287/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as precluding national case-law according to which a national court may dismiss an application for the grant of interim measures lodged by a consumer seeking the suspension, pending a final decision on the invalidity of the loan agreement concluded by that consumer on the ground that that loan agreement contains unfair terms, of the payment of the monthly instalments due under that loan agreement, where the grant of those interim measures is necessary to ensure the full effectiveness of that decision.
On June 15, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-520/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium, in which indicated that Directive 93/13 does not expressly regulate the consequences of invalidity of a contract concluded between a credit institution and a consumer after the removal of unfair terms contained therein. The CJEU stated that:
i) the provisions of the Directive do not preclude a judicial interpretation of national law, according to which the consumer has the right to demand compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of monthly instalments and costs paid for the performance of this contract and the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality are respected.
ii) the provisions of Directive 93/13 preclude the judicial interpretation of national law, according to which a credit institution has the right to demand compensation from the consumer that goes beyond the return of the capital paid for the performance of this contract and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment.

On September 21, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgement in a case registered under case number C-139/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium. The CJEU stated that:
i) provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as not precluding a contractual term which has not been individually negotiated from being regarded as unfair by the national authorities concerned merely by virtue of the fact that its content is equivalent to that of a standard contract term entered in the national register of standard business terms held to be unlawful;
ii) the contractual term which, because of the circumstances for the performance of certain obligations of the consumer concerned provided for in that term, must be regarded as unfair, may not cease to be considered unfair on account of another term of that contract which provides for the possibility for that consumer to perform those obligations under different circumstances;
iii) a seller or supplier is obliged to inform the consumer concerned of the essential characteristics of the contract concluded with that seller or supplier and the risks associated with that contract, even though that consumer is its employee and has relevant knowledge in the field of the contract.
On 7th May 2021, the Supreme Court composed of 7 judges of the Supreme Court, issued a resolution for which the meaning of legal principle has been granted, stating that:
An abusive contractual clause (art. 385(1) § 1 of the Civil Code), by force of the law itself, is ineffective to the benefit of the consumer who may consequently give conscious and free consent to this clause and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively.
If without the ineffective clause the loan agreement cannot bind, the consumer and the lender shall be eligible for separate claims for return of monetary performances made in exercising this agreement (art. 410 § 1 in relation to art. 405 of the Civil Code). The lender may demand return of the performance from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.
On April 28, 2022 the Supreme Court issued a resolution (III CZP 40/22) in which it indicated that in disputes with consumers, the provision of Article 358(1) of the Civil Code is a special provision to Article 353(1) of the Civil Code, which means that if the prerequisites for the application of both provisions exist, the court should apply the special provision and declare the contractual provision permanently ineffective, rather than invalid. This decision of the Supreme Court should be perceived as significantly limiting the risk of the bank's claims for return of capital being timebarred.
The effect of the Supreme Court's resolution of 7 May 2021 is that the bank is entitled to a refund of the cash benefit provided by the bank in performance of a permanently ineffective contract. Taking into account the uncertainty as to the starting point of the limitation period for the bank's claims, the Bank, in order to protect its interests, files lawsuits for payment against borrowers in a court dispute with the bank. The bank's demand consists of a claim for return of the capital made available to the borrower under the contract. After the CJEU verdict of June 15, 2023, in case C-520/21, it seems that the issue that requires further analysis is whether the return of the originally disbursed capital should be made at nominal value or with the loss of purchasing power of money taken into account. By 30 September 2023 the Bank filed 4.8 thousands lawsuits against the borrowers.
In this context, taking into consideration the recent negative evolution in the court verdicts regarding FX mortgage loans, and if such trend continues, the Bank will have to regularly review and may need to continue to increase the balance of provisions allocated to court litigations.
It can reasonably be assumed that the legal issues relating to foreign currency mortgage loans will be further examined by the national courts within the framework of disputes considered which would possibly result in the emergence of further interpretations, which are relevant for the assessment of the risks associated with subject matter proceedings. This circumstance indicates the need for constant analysis of these matters. Further request for clarification and ruling addressed to the European Court of Justice and Polish Supreme Court have already been filed and may still be filed with potential impact on the outcome of the court cases.
On 9 December 2022, in the case brought by the Bank against the borrower for payment – return of the capital made available to the borrower on the basis of an invalid capital contract and the equivalent value of the benefit related to the borrower's use of capital, the court referred a question to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling whether, if it is found that the loan contract concluded by the bank and the consumer is invalid from the beginning due to the conclusion of unfair contractual terms, in addition to the return of money paid in the performance of this contract (loan principal) and statutory late payment interest from the moment of the request for payment, the bank may also demand any other benefits, including receivables, in particular remuneration, compensation, reimbursement of costs or valorisation of the benefit. The case was registered under case number C-756/22. Taking into account the position of the CJEU in the C-520/21 judgment, there are doubts whether the case will be resolved on the merits.
The issue also referred to the CJEU assessment is the issue of admissibility of banks' claims for valorization of amounts disbursed to borrowers under credit agreements declared invalid as a result of preliminary questions from the District Court in Warsaw (cases C-113/23 and C-488/23). The issue of the admissibility of the bank's valorization claims currently remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of the Polish courts, and therefore the judgments of the CJEU in the cases indicated will be important for determining the scope of the Bank's claims after the invalidation of the loan agreement.
Moreover, the subject of the CJEU's analysis, as a result of the Warsaw District Court's questions remains the issues related to the limitation period of the Bank's and the customer's restitution claims following the collapse of the loan agreement (Cases: C-28/22 ; C-140/22). Legal interpretations in these cases may be particularly significant for the Bank's claims as to the commencement of the running of the limitation period of its claims, by eliminating or confirming the risk of its claims being deemed time-barred in a given case. In addition, there are other proceedings pending in the CJEU on issues related to cases of loans indexed to foreign currency, including, among other things, the admissibility of a bank's use of the retention right (C-424/22), the starting point for calculating statutory interest for delay on a customer's claims resulting from invalid contract (C-348/23), and the consumer status of a person who conculuded a credit agreement to purchase real estate for investment purposes (C-347/23). The answers to these questions will have an impact on the various elements of court cases involving loans indexed to foreign currency.
On October 6, 2023, the Supreme Court submitted new question to the CJEU on the admissibility of the retention right. The question seeks to determine whether the Directive 93/13 preclude applying to the judgment awarding to a customer the reimbursement of sums paid in performance of an invalid contract a provision that payment by the financial institution will be made after the consumer offers to repay the capital disbursed.

Despite the extensive jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union in cases involving loans indexed to foreign currency, Polish courts continue to submit further preliminary questions to the CJEU on specific issues related to the disputes in question, so it cannot be ruled out that new lines of jurisprudence will develop as a result of the CJEU's answers to the questions raised, which, as of the date of this report, cannot be reliably predicted.
On 29 January 2021 a set of questions addressed by the First President of the Supreme Court to the full Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court was published. This may have important consequences in terms of clarifications of relevant aspects of the court rulings and their consequences. The Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court has been requested for answering the questions concerning key matters related to FX mortgage agreements: (i) is it permissible to replace - with the law provisions or with a custom - the abusive provisions of an agreement which refer to FX exchange rate determination; moreover, (ii) in case of impossibility of determining the exchange rate of a foreign currency in the indexed/denominated credit agreement - is it permissible to keep the agreement still valid in its remaining scope; as well as (iii) if in case of invalidity of the CHF credit there would be applicable the theory of balance (i.e. does arise a single claim which is equal to the difference between value of claims of bank and the customer) or the theory of two condictions (separate claims for the bank and for the client that should be dealt with separately). The Supreme Court has also been requested for answering the question on (iv) from which point in time there shall be starting the limitation period in case of bank's claim for repayment of amounts paid as a loan and (v) whether banks and consumers may receive remuneration for using their pecuniary means by another party.
On 11 May 2021 the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court requested opinions on Swiss franc mortgage loans from five institutions including the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman.
The positions of: the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman are in general favorable to consumers, while the National Bank of Poland and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority present a more balanced position, including fair principles of treatment of FX mortgage borrowers vis-à-vis PLN mortgage borrowers, as well as balanced economic aspects regarding solutions for the problem that could be considered by the Supreme Court.
In the next meeting of the Supreme Court that took place on 2 September 2021, the Court did not address the answers to the submitted questions and no new meeting date is known.
With the scope of settlements between the Bank and borrower following the fall of the loan agreement is also connected the legal issue directed to the seven-person composition of the Supreme Court (case sign: III CZP 54/21). The date of case review has not been specified yet.
Due to the complexity and uncertainty regarding the outcome of court cases, including counterclaims, as well as other negotiation solutions or from potential Supreme Court decisions or European Court of Justice decisions, it is difficult to reliably estimate final impacts from different potential outcomes as at the date of publication of the financial statements.
The issue that remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of common courts and the Supreme Court is also the issue of the admissibility of borrowers' claims in the event of the invalidity of a loan agreement for payment of amounts beyond the reimbursement of monthly installments and costs paid for the execution of that agreement and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment, which, in light of the CJEU's judgment of June 15, 2023 in case C-520/21, remains not excluded. Due to the uncertainty of the direction of case law in this area, as of the date of publication of the report, it is difficult to reliably assess the impact of potential rulings.

Bank Millennium has a dividend policy of distribution between 35% and 50% of net profit, taking into account supervisory recommendations. The Bank recorded a net loss in 2022, mainly as a result of recognizing the impact of credit holidays and creating provisions for legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans, additionally the Bank continues to realize the Capital Protection Plan hence there was no basis for the payment of dividends. The Management Board of the Bank presented a proposal and the Ordinary General Meeting of the Bank, held on March 30, 2023, decided to allocate the amount of PLN 1,029,898,772.97 from the reserve capital to cover the loss incurred in 2022.
Profit per share calculated for III quarters of 2023 (and diluted profit per share) on the basis of the consolidated data amounts to PLN 0.38.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Group did not grant any sureties or guarantees for a loan or bank loan which would cause the Group's exposure on this account as at 30 September 2023 to be significant.
In the Group's activity, there are no significant phenomena, which are cyclical or subject to seasonal variations.
As at 30 September 2023, the Group has no material obligations under the purchase of property, plant and equipment and during the period covered by the condensed consolidated statements, Group did not:

In May 2022, the Polish government announced that WIBOR would be replaced by a different (lower) rate from 1 January 2023. In June 2022, a Working Group was established, including commercial banks, GPW Benchmark (Administrator of WIBOR), KNF.
In July 2022, the National Working Group on Reference Rate Reform (NWG) was established in connection with the planned reform of reference rates in Poland. The objective of the NGR's work to introduce a new interest rate benchmark and replace the currently used WIBOR index with it while ensuring the compliance with BMR, including in particular ensuring credibility, transparency and reliability in the development and application of the new benchmark.
The National Working Group involves representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Poland, the Office of the Financial Supervision Authority, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the National Depository for Securities, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the GPW Benchmark, as well as representatives of credit institutions, i.e. in particular, banks, financial institutions, including investment funds, insurance companies, factoring and leasing companies, entities that are bond issuers, including corporate and municipal bonds, clearing houses.
The work of the National Working Group is coordinated and supervised by a Steering Committee including representatives of key institutions: Financial Supervision Authority, the National Bank of Poland, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, as well as the GPW Benchmark - the administrator of the reference rates - and the Polish Bank Association (Polish: Związek Banków Polskich).
The NWG's activities are executed in a project formula, where project streams have been identified and where Bank Millennium representatives are actively contributing to the work.
The National Working Group selected the WIRON index to become the key interest rate benchmark under the BMR and to be used in financial contracts, financial instruments.
In connection with this, Bank Millennium S.A. established, by resolution of the Bank's Management Board of 24 August 2022, an internal project reporting to the Management Board (Deputy Chairman of the Management Board - CFO and Member of the Management Board overseeing the areas of retail and corporate products), in order to duly manage the WIBOR to WIRON transition process and to implement the work in accordance with the roadmap. This work involves representatives from a significant number of the Bank's business units, including, in particular, representatives responsible for product areas and risk management issues, including, in particular, interest rate risk and operational risk. The structure of the project includes the division into streams covering products and processes where the WIBOR benchmark is applied, the management of the project by a dedicated project manager and the periodical reporting of statuses on the individual streams. In the current phase of the project, intensive work is underway at the Bank to adjust the technological infrastructure, as well as including the preparation of internal processes and documentation.
The Bank uses the WIBOR reference rate in the following products (in million PLN):

The Bank also applies instruments based on WIBOR benchmarks in hedge accounting, details of the hedging relationships used by the Group, the items designated as hedged and hedging and the presentation of the result on these transactions are presented in Note 16 "Derivatives - Hedge accounting" in Chapter 4 "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bank Millennium S.A. is working on the analysis of the risks and monitors them on a regular basis. In addition, according to the Roadmap, a regulatory event should occur in Q3/Q4 2023 however, there is currently no information regarding the potential regulatory event referred to in Article 23c(1) of the BMR, the lack of a regulation of the Minister of Finance referred to in Article 61c of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macro-prudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system concerning a substitute or at least a draft of such a regulation and thus information, whether the Minister of Finance will designate one or several WIBOR replacements, the lack of information on the amount of the adjustment spread or the method of calculating this spread, whether there will be corresponding adjustment changes related to this (and if so, which ones), as well as the lack of a market for hedging instruments. Therefore given the current stage of the work of the National Working Group and the implementation of the Roadmap, it is currently not possible to estimate the financial impact of the WIBOR reform.
In March 2023, the Steering Committee of the National Working Group on Benchmark Reform adopted recommendations on new products, both banking, leasing and factoring, as well as previously published ones on bonds and derivatives.
In July 2023, the NWG SC adopted a Recommendation on applying a fallback rate for WIBOR benchmark in interest rate derivatives. The recommendation presents the method of replacing WIBOR with an Alternative Benchmark in WIBOR-based interest rate derivatives in the event where a Fallback Trigger of a permanent nature occurs.
In August 2023, The NWG Steering Committee has adopted a Recommendation on the rules and methods of conversion of WIBOR-based debt instruments. The recommendation was prepared assuming the occurrence of a Regulatory Event, i.e. an event resulting in the cessation of the development of the WIBOR benchmark (according to the adopted Roadmap, the readiness to cease and publish the WIBID and WIBOR Reference Rates should occur in 2025).
On October 25, 2023, information from the NWG Steering Committee was published on changes in the expected Road Map for the reform of benchmarks. The Steering Committee of the National Working Group on the Reform of Benchmark Indicators decided to change the maximum deadlines for the implementation of the Road Map, and indicated the final moment of conversion at the end of 2027.

The Bank applies the USD LIBOR benchmark to the following products (in million PLN):
▪ Retail banking/mortgage portfolio: 3.47;
On 3 April 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority supervising ICE Benchmark Administration Limited announced a decision regarding the future of LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M. FCA indicated that LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M will continue to be calculated and published after 30 June 2023 using the revised "synthetic" methodology, most likely until 30 September 2024. Considering the marginal number of such contracts in the Bank's portfolio, Bank is taking effort to implement individual approach to each of these contracts.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statement do not include all of the information which is presented in full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of March 29, 2018 regarding current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the laws of a non-member state (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 757) the Bank is required to publish financial data for the nine months ending September 30, 2023.
Condensed interim financial statements of the Bank:
In addition to financial data these condensed interim financial statements of the Bank also presents information and data that is important for appropriate assessment of the Bank's economic and financial situation and its financial performance, and which was not included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of the Group for the nine months period ended 30 September 2023. Other information and explanations presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the nine months period ended 30 September 2023 contain all important information, which also serves as explanatory data to these standalone statements of the Bank.
In 2023 Bank continues to realize Capital Protection Plan submitted to PFSA pursuant to the Article 60 sec. 1 of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macroprudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 963, i.e. of 6 May 2022, as amended), PFSA approved this plan on 28th October 2022. The Plan foresees the increase of capital ratios comfortably above the minimum required levels through a combination of further improvement of operational profitability and capital optimisation initiatives such as management of risk weighted assets (including securitisations).
Since the launch of the Plan, the Bank/Group has managed to significantly improve its capital ratios, placing them clearly above the new regulatory requirements: as of September 30, 2023, the Tier 1 ratio was 384 bps (Bank) and 329 bps (Group ) above the minimum requirement, and the total capital ratio (TCR) was 475 bps (Bank) and 395 bps (Group) above the minimum requirement. In September 2023, the Bank obtained the consent of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to include the net profit generated in the first half of 2023 in the amount of PLN 339 million (Bank) and PLN 358 million (Group), respectively, in common equity Tier 1 capital. This decision enabled further strengthening of capital adequacy, which resulted in a positive impact on the total capital ratio of the Bank in the amount of 72 bps and of the Group by 76 bps. Assuming no other extraordinary factors, the Bank plans to maintain capital ratios above the minimum required levels throughout 2023.
In terms of the MRELtrea and MRELtem requirements, the Group presents a surplus compared to the minimum required levels at the reporting date and also meets the MRELtrea Requirement after the inclusion of the Combined Buffer Requirement. The Group also expects to meet the minimum MREL requirements at the end of the year.

The Bank monitors, on the current basis, the financial situation and, if needed, will undertake actions to launch additional remedial activities. In particular, the Bank is aware of potential risks connected with potential extension of so-called Credit Holidays for 2024. If such risk would materialize, it could imply additional provisions that would decrease the net result of the Bank/Group. Additionally, further negative developments regarding the legal risk of FX mortgage loans could imply the need to increase the level of provisions for such risk apart from the provisions that might result from current trends. In the Bank's view, these events, if materialized, would adversely affect the results of the Bank/Group in 2023-2024, and would reduce the organic generation of capital that is envisaged, but would not prevent the Bank/Group from continuing to implement its strategy and the generation of results that would mitigate the impact of such events.
The liquidity position of Bank Millennium Group remained very strong in 3Q 2023. LCR ratio reached the level of 299% at the of June 2023, well above the supervisory minimum of 100%. Loan-to-deposit ratio remained at secure level of 70% and the share of liquid debt securities (mainly bonds issued by the sovereigns, multilateral development banks and NBP bills) in the Group's total assets remains significant at 31%.
At same time the Bank achieved good operational and business results, while actively managing and mitigating the different risks related to the banking activity. Taking into account the above circumstances and identified uncertainties, in particular, the Bank's capacity to meet capital solvency ratios and MREL requirements in subsequent reporting periods - the Bank's Management Board based on the analysis of all aspects of the Bank's operations and its current and forecast financial position, concluded that the application of the going concern assumption in the preparation of these financial statements is appropriate.
The Management Board approved these condensed interim financial statements on 26 th October 2023.

* In accordance with IFRS 9, the Bank calculates interest on the loan portfolio with a recognized impairment based on the net exposure value. For this purpose, the so-called impaired interest adjustment ("KOIM") is calculated and recorded as a reduction of interest income.

The methodology used by the Bank for valuation of assets and liabilities at fair value is described in detail in Chapter 8. Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Bank Millennium S.A. for the 9 months ended 30 September 2023.

* The negative impact of fair value valuation of the loans portfolio is largely attributable to growth of loan spreads. The methodology, which the Bank uses for valuation of the loans portfolio, assumes that current spreads best reflect existing market conditions and economic situation. A corresponding rule is widely applied for valuation of debt securities, which are not quoted on active markets. In result, paradoxically whenever the spreads of new loans increase, fair value of the "old" loans portfolio falls.

As a result of the creation of a new business model at the Bank's individual level the Bank measures the fair value of mortgage loans classified to the Held to Collect and for Sale model using the discounted cash flow method and as that the valuation is based on input data that is not observable market data, the valuation method is classified under Level 3.
Changes of fair values of instruments measured on the basis of valuation techniques with use of significant parameters not derived from the market are presented in the table below (in '000 PLN).

Out of 19,849 BM loan agreements in ongoing individual cases 207 are also part of class action. From the total number of individual litigations against the Bank approximately 2,000 or 10% were submitted by borrowers that had already naturally or early fully repaid the loan or were converted to polish zloty at the moment of submission and had not a settlement agreement and approximately another 700 cases correspond to loans that were fully repaid since then (as court proceedings are lengthy).
The claims formulated by the clients in individual proceedings primarily concern the declaration of invalidity of the contract and payment for reimbursement of paid principal and interest instalments as undue performance, due to the abusive nature of indexation clauses, or maintenance of the agreement in PLN with interest rate indexed to CHF Libor.
In addition, the Bank is a party to the group proceedings (class action) subject matter of which is to determine the Bank's liability towards the group members based on unjust enrichment (undue benefit) ground in connection with the foreign currency mortgage loans concluded. It is not a payment dispute. The judgment in these proceedings will not directly grant any amounts to the group members. The number of credit agreements covered by these proceedings is 3 273. Out of 3,273 loan agreements in class action 207 are also part of ongoing individual cases, 770 concluded settlements and 4 received final verdicts (invalidation of loan agreement). On 24 May 2022 the court issued a judgment on the merits, dismissing the claim in full. On 13 December 2022 the claimant filed an appeal against the judgment of 24 May 2022.
The pushy advertising campaign observed in the public domain affects the number of court disputes. Until the end of 2019, 1,985 individual claims were filed against the Bank (in addition, 236 against former Euro Bank), in 2020 the number increased by 3,007 (265), in 2021 the number increased by 6,155 (423), in 2022 the number increased by 5,752 (408), while in the first three quarters of 2023 the number increased by 5,107 (444).
Based on ZBP (the Polish Banking Association) data gathered from all banks having FX mortgage loans, vast majority of disputes were finally resolved against the banks. As far as the Bank Millennium (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) is concerned, from 2015 until the end of the third quarter of 2023, 2,570 cases were finally resolved (2,493 in claims submitted by clients against the Bank and 77 in claims submitted by the Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) out of which 726 were settlements, 52 were remissions, 61 rulings were favorable for the Bank and 1,731 were unfavorable including both invalidation of loan agreements as well as conversions into PLN+LIBOR. The Bank files appeals against negative judgements of the courts of 1st instance declaring invalidation of loan agreements. Simultaneously the Bank undertakes proper legal actions in order to secure repayment of initially disbursed capital of the loan.
The outstanding gross balance of the loan agreements under individual court cases and class action against the Bank (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) on 30.09.2023 was PLN 6,257 million (of which the outstanding amount of the loan agreements under the class action proceeding was 814 million PLN).
If all Bank Millennium's originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court proceedings would be declared invalid without any compensation for the use of capital, the pre-tax cost could reach PLN 6,615 million. Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final court jurisprudence in this regard.
In the 9 months of 2023, the Bank created PLN 2 208,1 million of provisions for Bank Millennium originated portfolio and PLN 155,7 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio. The balance sheet value of provisions for the Bank Millennium portfolio at the end of September 2023 was at the level of PLN 6 980,2 million, and PLN 536,0 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio.
The methodology developed by the Bank of calculating provisions for legal risk involved with indexed loans is based on the following main parameters:

The Bank is open to negotiate case by case favourable conditions for early repayment or conversion of loans to PLN. As a result of these negotiations, the number of active FX mortgage loans originated by Bank Millennium decreased by 20,355: 1,362 in 2020; 8,450 in 2021; 7,943 in 2022 and 2,600 in the first three quarters of 2023. As of the end of the third quarter of 2023, the Bank had 34,076 active FX mortgage loans. Cost incurred in conjunctions with these negotiations totalled PLN 1,220 million: PLN 44.4 million in 2020; PLN 364.6 million in 2021; PLN 515.2 million in 2022 and PLN 295.8 million in the first three quarters of 2023 is presented mainly in 'Result on exchange differences' and also in 'Result on modification' in the profit and loss statement (the values of costs charged to particular items of the Income Statement due to settlements are presented in Note 10 in Chapter 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements).
Legal risk from former Euro Bank portfolio is fully covered by Indemnity Agreement with Societe Generale.
The Bank analyzed the sensitivity of the methodology for calculating provisions, for which a change in the parameters would affect the value of the estimated loss to the legal risk of litigation:
| Parameter | Scenario | Impact on the loss |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the assumed number of litigation |
In addition to assumed number, 1,000 new customers file a lawsuit against the Bank |
PLN 173 mln |
| Change of estimated losses for each variant of judgment |
Change of losses for each judgment variant by 1 p.p |
PLN 70 mln |
| Change in probability of success in negotiations with court client |
Change of probability by 1 p.p | PLN 21 mln |
On December 8, 2020, Mr. Jacek Jastrzębski, the Chairman of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ('PFSA') proposed a 'sector' solution to address the sector risks related to FX mortgages. The solution would consist in offering banks' clients a voluntary possibility of concluding arrangements based on which a client would settle a CHF Mortgage Loan as if it was a PLN loan bearing interest at an appropriate WIBOR rate increased by the margin historically employed for such loans. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the Bank has not taken any decision regarding the implementation of this solution, but cannot exclude implementing it in the future. The decision to generally implement this solution could imply the need of creating upfront provisions for the losses resulting from the conversion of CHF Mortgage Loans. The Bank in practice has been using elements of such solution on many individual negotiations with FX mortgage borrowers, including in the course of court proceedings.
Due to the circumstances stemming from the CJEU verdict in case C-520/21 (below described), the possibility of successful implementation of a general offer of KNF solution is low.
Finally it should also be mentioned, that the Bank, as at 30.09.2023, had to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements related to FX mortgage portfolio risks (Pillar II FX buffer) in the amount of 1.95 p.p. (1.94 p.p. at the Group level), part of which is allocated to operational/legal risk.
On 3 October 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union ('the CJEU') issued the judgment in Case C-260/18 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court of Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The judgment of the CJEU, as regards the interpretation of European Union law made therein, is binding on domestic courts. The judgment in question interpreted Article 6 of Directive 93/13. In the light of the subject matter judgment the said provision must be interpreted in such a way that (i) the national court may invalidate a credit agreement if the removal of unfair terms detected in this agreement would alter the nature of the main subject-matter of the contract; (ii) the effects for the consumer's situation

resulting from the cancellation of the contract must be assessed in the light of the circumstances existing or foreseeable at the time when the dispute arose and the will of the consumer is decisive as to whether he wishes to maintain the contract; (iii) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the filling-in of gaps in the contract caused by the removal of unfair terms from the contract solely on the basis of national legislation of a general nature or established customs; (iv) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the maintenance of unfair terms in the contract if the consumer has not consented to the maintenance of such terms. It can be noticed the CJEU found doubtful the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN while keeping interest calculated according to LIBOR.
The CJEU judgment concerns only the situation where the national court has previously found the contract term to be abusive. It is the exclusive competence of the national courts to assess, in the course of judicial proceedings, whether a particular contract term can be regarded as abusive in the circumstances of the case.
On 29th April 2021, the CJEU issued the judgement in the case C-19/20 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court in Gdańsk in the case against of ex-BPH S.A., CJEU said that:
(i) it is for the national court to find that a term in a contract is unfair, even if it has been contractually amended by those parties. Such a finding leads to the restoration of the situation that the consumer would have been in in the absence of the term found to be unfair, except where the consumer, by means of amendment of the unfair term, has waived such restoration by free and informed consent. However, it does not follow from Council Directive 93/13 that a finding that the original term is unfair would, in principle, lead to annulment of the contract, since the amendment of that term made it possible to restore the balance between the obligations and rights of those parties arising under the contract and to remove the defect which vitiated it.
(ii) the national court may remove only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where the deterrent objective pursued by Council Directive 93/13 is ensured by national legislative provisions governing the use of that term, provided that that element consists of a separate contractual obligation, capable of being subject to an individual examination of its unfair nature. At the same time, provisions of the Directive preclude the referring court from removing only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where such removal would amount to revising the content of that term by altering its substance.
(iii) the consequences of a judicial finding that a term if a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair are covered by national law and the question of continuity of the contract should be assessed by the national court of its own motion in accordance with an objective approach on the basis of those provisions.
(iv) the national court, finding that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, shall inform the consumer, in the context of the national procedural rules after both parties have been heard, of the legal consequences entailed by annulment of the contract, irrespective of whether the consumer is represented by a professional representative.
On November 18, 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in case C-212/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The CJEU stated that:
(i) The content of the clause of the loan agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer fixing the purchase and sale price of the foreign currency to which the loan is indexed should, on the basis of clear and comprehensible criteria, enable the consumer who is reasonably well informed and sufficiently observant and rational to understand how the exchange rate of the foreign currency used to calculate the amount of the loan instalments is determined, so that the consumer is able to determine himself at any time the exchange rate used by the entrepreneur.

(ii) A national court which has found that a term of the agreement concluded between an entrepreneur and a consumer is unfair cannot interpret that term in order to mitigate its unfairness, even if such an interpretation would correspond to the common will of the parties.
On 10 June 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued an order in case C-198/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Santander Bank Polska SA. The CJEU stated that the protection provided for in Council Directive 93/13/EEC is granted to all consumers, not just those who can be considered to be "duly informed and reasonably observant and circumspect average consumer".
On 8 September 2022, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in joined cases C-80/21, C-81/21, C-82/21 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Śródmieście in Warsaw in cases against Deutsche Bank SA and mBank SA. The CJEU stated that:
(i) A national court may find that the parts of a contractual term of the agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which render it unfair are unfair, if such a deletion would not amount to a change in the content of that term that affects its substance, which is for the referring court to verify.
(ii) A national court cannot, after annulling an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which does not render the agreement invalid in its entirety, replace that term with a supplementary provision of the national law.
(iii) A national court may not, after having declared invalid an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which entails the invalidity of that agreement in its entirety, replace the contractual term which has been declared invalid either by interpretation of the parties' declaration of intent in order to avoid the cancellation of that agreement or by a provision of national law of a supplementary nature, even if the consumer has been informed of the effects of the invalidity of that agreement, and accepted them.
(iv) The ten-year limitation period for a consumer's claim seeking reimbursement of sums unduly paid to the entrepreneur in performance of an unfair term of a loan agreement does not start to run on the date of each performance made by the consumer if the consumer was not able on that date to assess on his own the unfairness of the contractual term or if he had not become aware of the unfair nature of that term and without taking into account the circumstances that the agreement provided for a repayment period – in this case thirty years – well in excess of the ten-year statutory limitation period.
On March 16, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-6/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw-Wola in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A.. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) in the event that a contract concluded between a consumer and a seller or supplier is declared invalid because one of its terms is unfair, it is for the Member States, by means of their national law, to make provision for the effects of that invalidation, in compliance with the protection granted to the consumer by that directive, in particular, by ensuring the restoration of the legal and factual situation that he or she would have been in if that unfair term had not existed.
ii) a national court is not allowed, first, to examine of its own motion, without any prerogative conferred on it by national law in that regard, the financial situation of a consumer who has sought the invalidation of the contract between him or her and a seller or supplier on account of the presence of an unfair term without which the contract cannot legally continue to exist, even if that invalidation is liable to expose the consumer to particularly unfavourable consequences and, second, to refuse to declare that invalidation where the consumer has expressly sought it, after being objectively and exhaustively informed of the legal consequences and the particularly unfavourable financial consequences which it may have for him or her.
iii) a national court is not allowed, after it has found that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, to fill gaps resulting from the removal of the unfair term contained therein by the application of a provision of national law which cannot be characterised as a supplementary provision. However, it is for the national court, taking account of its domestic law as a whole, to take all the measures necessary to protect the consumer from the particularly unfavourable consequences which annulment of the contract might entail for him or her.
On June 8, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-570/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) provisions of Council Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, covers a person who has concluded a loan contract intended for a purpose in part within and in part outside his or her trade, business or profession, together with a joint-borrower who did not act within his or her trade, business or profession, where the trade, business or professional purpose is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract.
ii) provisions of Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that in order to determine whether a person falls within the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, and, specifically, whether the trade, business or professional purpose of a loan contract concluded by that person is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract, the referring court is required to take into consideration all the relevant circumstances surrounding that contract, both quantitative and qualitative, such as, in particular, the distribution of the borrowed capital between, on the one hand, a trade, business or profession and, on the other hand, a nonprofessional activity and, where there are several borrowers, the fact that only one of them is pursuing a professional purpose or that the lender made the grant of credit intended for consumer purposes conditional on a partial allocation of the amount borrowed to the repayment of debts connected with a trade, business or profession.
On June 15, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-287/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as precluding national case-law according to which a national court may dismiss an application for the grant of interim measures lodged by a consumer seeking the suspension, pending a final decision on the invalidity of the loan agreement concluded by that consumer on the ground that that loan agreement contains unfair terms, of the payment of the monthly instalments due under that loan agreement, where the grant of those interim measures is necessary to ensure the full effectiveness of that decision.
On June 15, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-520/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium, in which indicated that Directive 93/13 does not expressly regulate the consequences of invalidity of a contract concluded between a credit institution and a consumer after the removal of unfair terms contained therein. The CJEU stated that:
i) the provisions of the Directive do not preclude a judicial interpretation of national law, according to which the consumer has the right to demand compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of monthly instalments and costs paid for the performance of this contract and the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality are respected.
ii) the provisions of Directive 93/13 preclude the judicial interpretation of national law, according to which a credit institution has the right to demand compensation from the consumer that goes beyond the return of the capital paid for the performance of this contract and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment.

On September 21, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgement in a case registered under case number C-139/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium. The CJEU stated that:
i) provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as not precluding a contractual term which has not been individually negotiated from being regarded as unfair by the national authorities concerned merely by virtue of the fact that its content is equivalent to that of a standard contract term entered in the national register of standard business terms held to be unlawful;
ii) the contractual term which, because of the circumstances for the performance of certain obligations of the consumer concerned provided for in that term, must be regarded as unfair, may not cease to be considered unfair on account of another term of that contract which provides for the possibility for that consumer to perform those obligations under different circumstances;
iii) a seller or supplier is obliged to inform the consumer concerned of the essential characteristics of the contract concluded with that seller or supplier and the risks associated with that contract, even though that consumer is its employee and has relevant knowledge in the field of the contract.
On 7th May 2021, the Supreme Court composed of 7 judges of the Supreme Court, issued a resolution for which the meaning of legal principle has been granted, stating that:
An abusive contractual clause (art. 385(1) § 1 of the Civil Code), by force of the law itself, is ineffective to the benefit of the consumer who may consequently give conscious and free consent to this clause and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively.
If without the ineffective clause the loan agreement cannot bind, the consumer and the lender shall be eligible for separate claims for return of monetary performances made in exercising this agreement (art. 410 § 1 in relation to art. 405 of the Civil Code). The lender may demand return of the performance from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.
On April 28, 2022 the Supreme Court issued a resolution (III CZP 40/22) in which it indicated that in disputes with consumers, the provision of Article 358(1) of the Civil Code is a special provision to Article 353(1) of the Civil Code, which means that if the prerequisites for the application of both provisions exist, the court should apply the special provision and declare the contractual provision permanently ineffective, rather than invalid. This decision of the Supreme Court should be perceived as significantly limiting the risk of the bank's claims for return of capital being timebarred.
The effect of the Supreme Court's resolution of 7 May 2021 is that the bank is entitled to a refund of the cash benefit provided by the bank in performance of a permanently ineffective contract. Taking into account the uncertainty as to the starting point of the limitation period for the bank's claims, the Bank, in order to protect its interests, files lawsuits for payment against borrowers in a court dispute with the bank. The bank's demand consists of a claim for return of the capital made available to the borrower under the contract. After the CJEU verdict of June 15, 2023, in case C-520/21, it seems that the issue that requires further analysis is whether the return of the originally disbursed capital should be made at nominal value or with the loss of purchasing power of money taken into account. By 30 September 2023 the Bank filed 4.8 thousands lawsuits against the borrowers.
In this context, taking into consideration the recent negative evolution in the court verdicts regarding FX mortgage loans, and if such trend continues, the Bank will have to regularly review and may need to continue to increase the balance of provisions allocated to court litigations.
It can reasonably be assumed that the legal issues relating to foreign currency mortgage loans will be further examined by the national courts within the framework of disputes considered which would possibly result in the emergence of further interpretations, which are relevant for the assessment of the risks associated with subject matter proceedings. This circumstance indicates the need for constant analysis of these matters. Further request for clarification and ruling addressed to the European Court of Justice and Polish Supreme Court have already been filed and may still be filed with potential impact on the outcome of the court cases.
On 9 December 2022, in the case brought by the Bank against the borrower for payment – return of the capital made available to the borrower on the basis of an invalid capital contract and the equivalent value of the benefit related to the borrower's use of capital, the court referred a question to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling whether, if it is found that the loan contract concluded by the bank and the consumer is invalid from the beginning due to the conclusion of unfair contractual terms, in addition to the return of money paid in the performance of this contract (loan principal) and statutory late payment interest from the moment of the request for payment, the bank may also demand any other benefits, including receivables, in particular remuneration, compensation, reimbursement of costs or valorisation of the benefit. The case was registered under case number C-756/22. Taking into account the position of the CJEU in the C-520/21 judgment, there are doubts whether the case will be resolved on the merits.
The issue also referred to the CJEU assessment is the issue of admissibility of banks' claims for valorization of amounts disbursed to borrowers under credit agreements declared invalid as a result of preliminary questions from the District Court in Warsaw (cases C-113/23 and C-488/23). The issue of the admissibility of the bank's valorization claims currently remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of the Polish courts, and therefore the judgments of the CJEU in the cases indicated will be important for determining the scope of the Bank's claims after the invalidation of the loan agreement.
Moreover, the subject of the CJEU's analysis, as a result of the Warsaw District Court's questions remains the issues related to the limitation period of the Bank's and the customer's restitution claims following the collapse of the loan agreement (Cases: C-28/22 ; C-140/22). Legal interpretations in these cases may be particularly significant for the Bank's claims as to the commencement of the running of the limitation period of its claims, by eliminating or confirming the risk of its claims being deemed time-barred in a given case. In addition, there are other proceedings pending in the CJEU on issues related to cases of loans indexed to foreign currency, including, among other things, the admissibility of a bank's use of the retention right (C-424/22), the starting point for calculating statutory interest for delay on a customer's claims resulting from invalid contract (C-348/23), and the consumer status of a person who conculuded a credit agreement to purchase real estate for investment purposes (C-347/23). The answers to these questions will have an impact on the various elements of court cases involving loans indexed to foreign currency.
On October 6, 2023, the Supreme Court submitted new question to the CJEU on the admissibility of the retention right. The question seeks to determine whether the Directive 93/13 preclude applying to the judgment awarding to a customer the reimbursement of sums paid in performance of an invalid contract a provision that payment by the financial institution will be made after the consumer offers to repay the capital disbursed.

Despite the extensive jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union in cases involving loans indexed to foreign currency, Polish courts continue to submit further preliminary questions to the CJEU on specific issues related to the disputes in question, so it cannot be ruled out that new lines of jurisprudence will develop as a result of the CJEU's answers to the questions raised, which, as of the date of this report, cannot be reliably predicted.
On 29 January 2021 a set of questions addressed by the First President of the Supreme Court to the full Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court was published. This may have important consequences in terms of clarifications of relevant aspects of the court rulings and their consequences. The Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court has been requested for answering the questions concerning key matters related to FX mortgage agreements: (i) is it permissible to replace - with the law provisions or with a custom - the abusive provisions of an agreement which refer to FX exchange rate determination; moreover, (ii) in case of impossibility of determining the exchange rate of a foreign currency in the indexed/denominated credit agreement - is it permissible to keep the agreement still valid in its remaining scope; as well as (iii) if in case of invalidity of the CHF credit there would be applicable the theory of balance (i.e. does arise a single claim which is equal to the difference between value of claims of bank and the customer) or the theory of two condictions (separate claims for the bank and for the client that should be dealt with separately). The Supreme Court has also been requested for answering the question on (iv) from which point in time there shall be starting the limitation period in case of bank's claim for repayment of amounts paid as a loan and (v) whether banks and consumers may receive remuneration for using their pecuniary means by another party.
On 11 May 2021 the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court requested opinions on Swiss franc mortgage loans from five institutions including the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman.
The positions of: the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman are in general favorable to consumers, while the National Bank of Poland and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority present a more balanced position, including fair principles of treatment of FX mortgage borrowers vis-à-vis PLN mortgage borrowers, as well as balanced economic aspects regarding solutions for the problem that could be considered by the Supreme Court.
In the next meeting of the Supreme Court that took place on 2 September 2021, the Court did not address the answers to the submitted questions and no new meeting date is known.
With the scope of settlements between the Bank and borrower following the fall of the loan agreement is also connected the legal issue directed to the seven-person composition of the Supreme Court (case sign: III CZP 54/21). The date of case review has not been specified yet.
Due to the complexity and uncertainty regarding the outcome of court cases, including counterclaims, as well as other negotiation solutions or from potential Supreme Court decisions or European Court of Justice decisions, it is difficult to reliably estimate final impacts from different potential outcomes as at the date of publication of the financial statements.
The issue that remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of common courts and the Supreme Court is also the issue of the admissibility of borrowers' claims in the event of the invalidity of a loan agreement for payment of amounts beyond the reimbursement of monthly installments and costs paid for the execution of that agreement and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment, which, in light of the CJEU's judgment of June 15, 2023 in case C-520/21, remains not excluded. Due to the uncertainty of the direction of case law in this area, as of the date of publication of the report, it is difficult to reliably assess the impact of potential rulings.
During the 9 months ended September 30, 2023, the Bank's liabilities arising from the issue of debt securities increased by PLN 2,326.7 million and their balance as at that date amounted to PLN 2,570.4 million. The increase in these liabilities results primarily from the issuance of non-preferred senior bonds listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, with a total value of EUR 500 million (EUR 400 million issued on September 18, 2023 and EUR 100 million on September 27, 2023, detailed information was provided by the Bank in current reports No. 27/2023 and No. 30/2023, respectively). All issued bonds mature on September 18, 2027 (with the possibility of early redemption on September 18, 2026).

Structure of off-balance sheet liabilities was as follows:
In May 2022, the Polish government announced that WIBOR would be replaced by a different (lower) rate from 1 January 2023. In June 2022, a Working Group was established, including commercial banks, GPW Benchmark (Administrator of WIBOR), KNF.
In July 2022, the National Working Group on Reference Rate Reform (NWG) was established in connection with the planned reform of reference rates in Poland. The objective of the NGR's work to introduce a new interest rate benchmark and replace the currently used WIBOR index with it while ensuring the compliance with BMR, including in particular ensuring credibility, transparency and reliability in the development and application of the new benchmark.

The National Working Group involves representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Poland, the Office of the Financial Supervision Authority, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the National Depository for Securities, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the GPW Benchmark, as well as representatives of credit institutions, i.e. in particular, banks, financial institutions, including investment funds, insurance companies, factoring and leasing companies, entities that are bond issuers, including corporate and municipal bonds, clearing houses.
The work of the National Working Group is coordinated and supervised by a Steering Committee including representatives of key institutions: Financial Supervision Authority, the National Bank of Poland, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, as well as the GPW Benchmark - the administrator of the reference rates - and the Polish Bank Association (Polish: Związek Banków Polskich).
The NWG's activities are executed in a project formula, where project streams have been identified and where Bank Millennium representatives are actively contributing to the work.
The National Working Group selected the WIRON index to become the key interest rate benchmark under the BMR and to be used in financial contracts, financial instruments.
In connection with this, Bank Millennium S.A. established, by resolution of the Bank's Management Board of 24 August 2022, an internal project reporting to the Management Board (Deputy Chairman of the Management Board - CFO and Member of the Management Board overseeing the areas of retail and corporate products), in order to duly manage the WIBOR to WIRON transition process and to implement the work in accordance with the roadmap. This work involves representatives from a significant number of the Bank's business units, including, in particular, representatives responsible for product areas and risk management issues, including, in particular, interest rate risk and operational risk. The structure of the project includes the division into streams covering products and processes where the WIBOR benchmark is applied, the management of the project by a dedicated project manager and the periodical reporting of statuses on the individual streams. In the current phase of the project, intensive work is underway at the Bank to adjust the technological infrastructure, as well as including the preparation of internal processes and documentation.
The Bank uses the WIBOR reference rate in the following products (in million PLN):
The Bank also applies instruments based on WIBOR benchmarks in hedge accounting, details of the hedging relationships used by the Group, the items designated as hedged and hedging and the presentation of the result on these transactions are presented in Note 16 "Derivatives - Hedge accounting" in Chapter 4 "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bank Millennium S.A. is working on the analysis of the risks and monitors them on a regular basis. In addition, according to the Roadmap, a regulatory event should occur in Q3/Q4 2023 however, there is currently no information regarding the potential regulatory event referred to in Article 23c(1) of the BMR, the lack of a regulation of the Minister of Finance referred to in Article 61c of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macro-prudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system concerning a substitute or at least a draft of such a regulation and thus information, whether the Minister of Finance will designate one or several WIBOR replacements, the lack of information on the amount of the adjustment spread or the method of calculating this spread, whether there will be corresponding adjustment changes related to this (and if so, which ones), as well as the lack of a market for hedging instruments. Therefore given the current stage of the work of the National Working Group and the implementation of the Roadmap, it is currently not possible to estimate the financial impact of the WIBOR reform.

In March 2023, the Steering Committee of the National Working Group on Benchmark Reform adopted recommendations on new products, both banking, leasing and factoring, as well as previously published ones on bonds and derivatives.
In July 2023, the NWG SC adopted a Recommendation on applying a fallback rate for WIBOR benchmark in interest rate derivatives. The recommendation presents the method of replacing WIBOR with an Alternative Benchmark in WIBOR-based interest rate derivatives in the event where a Fallback Trigger of a permanent nature occurs.
In August 2023, The NWG Steering Committee has adopted a Recommendation on the rules and methods of conversion of WIBOR-based debt instruments. The recommendation was prepared assuming the occurrence of a Regulatory Event, i.e. an event resulting in the cessation of the development of the WIBOR benchmark (according to the adopted Roadmap, the readiness to cease and publish the WIBID and WIBOR Reference Rates should occur in 2025).
On October 25, 2023, information from the NWG Steering Committee was published on changes in the expected Road Map for the reform of benchmarks. The Steering Committee of the National Working Group on the Reform of Benchmark Indicators decided to change the maximum deadlines for the implementation of the Road Map, and indicated the final moment of conversion at the end of 2027.

FCA indicated that LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M will continue to be calculated and published after 30 June 2023 using the revised "synthetic" methodology, most likely until 30 September 2024. Considering the marginal number of such contracts in the Bank's portfolio, Bank is taking effort to implement individual approach to each of these contracts.
