3. Summary of Performance

Main P&L items

In the 3 quarters of 2023, we generated net profit of the Bank Pekao S.A. Group attributable to the Bank's shareholders in the amount of PLN 4,855.3 million. This result is higher by PLN 4,023.8 million than the result achieved in the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to lower costs related to the modification of PLN mortgage loan agreements granted to consumers due to the suspension of their loan repayments (credit holidays), lower risk provisions regarding foreign currency mortgage loans, no additional regulatory costs, including those for the Bank Protection System and payments to the Borrower Support Fund, lower contributions to the BFG, as well as higher income despite the increase in operating costs.

The ROE ratio was at the level of 25.2%.

The Group's operating income in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 11,175.7 million and was 61.0% higher than the income generated in the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to interest income and trading results.

  • − The net interest income achieved in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 8,790.6 million and was higher by PLN 3,757.1 million, i.e. 74.6% compared to the result achieved in the 3 quarters of 2022. Net interest income in the 3 quarters of 2022 included costs related to the modification of PLN mortgage loan agreements granted to consumers due to the suspension of their loan repayments in the amount of PLN 2,429 million.
  • − The Group's net fee and commission income achieved in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 2,127.9 million and was lower by PLN 7.3 million, i.e. 0.3% compared to the result achieved in the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to adapting the offer to market conditions and due to the high margin on FX transactions with customers last year as a result of increased customer activity on the currency market after the outbreak of the war.
  • − Trading result achieved in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 407.4 million and was higher by PLN 381.2 million compared to the result achieved in the 3 quarters of 2022, due to a higher FX result and a higher valuation of derivatives.
  • − Net other operating income and expenses achieved in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to (minus) PLN 179.4 million and were higher by PLN 101.4 million compared to the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to lower provisions for disputes and revaluation of real estate carried out in 2022.

Operating costs in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 3,496.8 million and were higher by PLN 451.3 million, i.e. 14.8% compared to the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to the inflation indexation of salaries and higher property maintenance costs, due to increases in energy prices and the minimum wage.

The result on allowances for expected credit losses in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 563.4 million and was lower by PLN 361.4 million, i.e. 39.1% than in the 3 quarters of 2022, mainly due to lower risk provisions regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF.

Contributions to the Bank Guarantee Fund in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 190.4 million and were PLN 76.8 million lower than in the 3 quarters of 2022.

The tax on certain financial institutions in the 3 quarters of 2023 amounted to PLN 659.2 million and was higher by PLN 20.7 million, i.e. 3.2% than in the 3 quarters of 2022 due to the increase in the Bank's assets.

Volumes

As at the end of September 2023, loans and advances at nominal value amounted to PLN 177,296.5 million and were lower by PLN 6,025.9 PLN million, i.e. 3.3% than at the end of September 2022. As at the end of September 2023 the volume of retail loans amounted to PLN 76,794.1 million and were lower by PLN 932.4 million, i.e. 1.2% than at the end of September 2022. Corporate loans including non-treasury debt securities at the end of September 2023 amounted to PLN 100,502.5 million and were lower by PLN 5,093.4 million, i.e. 4.8% compared to the end of September 2022.

As at the end of September 2023 amounts due to the Group's customers and debt securities issued amounted to PLN 252,452.8 million and were higher by PLN 34,285.3 million, i.e. 15.7% than at the end of September 2022.

The value of net assets of investment funds managed by Pekao TFI S.A. amounted to PLN 22,637.5 million and was higher by PLN 5,168.3 million, i.e. 29.6% compared to the end of September 2022.

We continued to increase commercial activity, actively support clients in maintaining financial liquidity, continue to digitize and automate processes and implement advanced digital solutions.

We have opened over 145 thousand new accounts and the number of active mobile banking customers increased to 3.1 million and was 14% higher than a year ago.

During the first 3 months of operation of the government housing program "Bezpieczny Kredyt 2%", we signed over 7 thousand agreements, for the amount PLN 2.8 billion, which allowed us to achieve over 40% share in the banking sector. The offer is very popular and the continuing large number of applications received (3 times more than before the introduction of this program) constitutes the potential to maintain high sales volumes of housing loans in the following months.

We offer a wide range of deposit offers to individual clients, including: interest rate of 7.0% per annum on savings accounts, deposit with a fund at 8.0% per annum for a period of 12 months, deposits with "Żubr" in PeoPay with an interest rate of up to 7.0% per annum.

We have extended a special offer for individual and corporate customers from Ukraine.

We focused our activities in the following key strategic areas (in accordance with the adopted Strategy for 2021-2024).

Strategy and key financial indicators

"Responsible Bank. Modern banking" is th strategy for the years 2021-2024, announced in March 2021.

According to the strategic plan:

  • we are a universal bank, we want to be the bank of first choice for our clients,
  • we develop a remote distribution and customer service model,
  • we focus on cost and process efficiency,
  • we are growing in the most profitable market segments.

Our ambition is a strong position among the most profitable and effective banks in Poland, including increasing the return on equity (ROE), reducing the cost-to-income ratio and increasing the number of active mobile banking customers.

4. External Activity Conditions

Economic growth

The second quarter of 2023 brought a decrease in GDP by 0.6% y/y compared to a decline of 0.3% in the previous quarter. The structure of growth indicated a significant and strongest contraction in consumption since the pandemic crisis by 2.7% y/y. On the other hand, the solid investment result (+7.9% y/y) and the contribution of net exports (+3.4 p.p.) supported GDP growth. The second quarter was most likely the bottom of the current economic cycle. Current data suggest that the third quarter of 2023 will bring a slight recovery - in our opinion, GDP will increase by 0.3% y/y. The economy will recover at a slow pace due to the constantly limited propensity to consume and weak foreign

demand. As a result, 2023 will prove to be a time of economic stagnation, with GDP growth slowing to 0.4% from 5.1% in 2022. However, in 2024 the GDP recovery will gain momentum due to a rebound in domestic demand, but on the other hand it will be limited by the decline in public investment and the lower contribution of net exports.

Inflation and monetary policy

Consumer inflation (CPI) in Poland continued its disinflationary trend in the third quarter of 2023, decreasing to single-digit levels in September (8.2% y/y). Disinflation is not only because of fading external shocks or a high reference base, but also of weakening impact of domestic inflationary factors. Current momentum points to easing inflationary pressure and September was the fifth month in a row without a price increase. In the face of weaker economic conditions, core inflation also decreased, falling to 8.4% y/y in September. In the third quarter, food prices continued to decline, which was due not only to seasonal drops in the

prices of fruit and vegetables, but also to most food products. Compared to September last year, food prices were 10.1% higher, but yearly food inflation will continue to go down in the following months and will reach a single-digit level in October. Fuel and energy prices were relatively stable in the third quarter. In September, fuel prices decreased by 3.1% mom. In turn, energy prices fell by 0.7% in September, which was mainly a consequence of introduction of higher limit on electricity consumption with a frozen price for households. Moreover, the almost year-long downward trend in coal prices is gradually coming to an end.

Inflation will continue to decline in the last quarter of 2023. According to our forecasts, inflation will fall below 7% y/y at the end of the year. The pace of disinflation will slow down significantly in 2024. Regulated factors generate high uncertainty here, such as new energy tariffs for households and phasing out of the Anti-Inflation Shield (we assume a return of the 5% VAT rate on food products from the beginning of 2024). There is a high risk of inflation remaining at an elevated level, approximately 5% y/y, in the longer term.

Subsequent MPC meetings failed to bring any changes to NBP rates and the NBP reference rate stood at 6.75% throughout the entire quarter. However, in Q2 there was a major shift in the MPC's rhetoric as multiple MPC members began to signal their increased willingness to cut rates later this year. According to those members (and the NBP governor himself), if inflation continued to decline in H2 and forecasts continued to show this trend extending into 2024, the Council would consider cutting rates. This culminated in the July meeting which turned this into de facto commitment to start an easing cycle in the Autumn. The aforementioned conditions for rate cuts will be met in September already and the new cycle will start. According to the Bank, interest rates will be cut by a total of 100 bps this year.

Fiscal policy

The condition of public finances in 3Q 2023 was deteriorating as the state budget deficit increased from PLN 12.7 billion at the end of June to PLN 34.7 billion at the end of September 2023. While tax revenues rebounded in this period - from about PLN 40 billion per month on average in the first half of the year to PLN 43 billion on average from July to September, public spending accelerated even more strongly - from PLN 47 to 56 billion on average per month in the same periods. On the plus side, there was a steady improvement in PIT revenues and also, though to a lesser extent, VAT revenues. On the negative side, however, CIT revenues surprised on the downside, falling in line with the deteriorating business climate. The increase in budget

expenditures is related to the cost of freezing energy and fuel prices to households and small and medium-sized businesses and the cost of increased arms spending following the outbreak of war in Ukraine.

We maintain our view that the public finance deficit for the whole of 2023 will be around 4.2% of GDP, 0.5 p.p. higher than in 2022. Pekao's economists expect the high deficit (>4% of GDP) to continue in the subsequent years through 2025. This will be due to an increase in social transfers, e.g., due to the indexation of the 500+ benefit to 800+, as well as high arms spending on the basis of already concluded contracts in this regard (e.g., for the purchase of F-35 aircraft, AH-64 helicopters, rocket artillery and tanks). There are no plans for this spending to be accompanied by a commensurate increase in the tax burden. This will increase the borrowing needs of the state budget, which will put upward pressure on Polish government bond yields.

Exchange rate

The third quarter of 2023 was a period of relentless and systematic increases in market interest rates. Quite quickly, this increase ceased to give the impression of a post-banking mini-crisis unwinding and quite quickly became a topic in itself. Over the course of the three months, the yield on the US 10-year note rose by 70 bps and the German by 45 bps. Movements at the short end were correspondingly smaller and, consequently, yield curves steepened noticeably. Their causes were ambiguous and can be cited among them primarily the rhetoric of the major central banks (who want to

keep interest rates high for a long time), a significant increase in the supply of bonds due to the deterioration of the fiscal situation in the US, relatively good data from the major economies (especially the US) and speculation about the increasing resilience of major economies to high interest rates.

The appreciation trend of the zloty, which had been ongoing since the beginning of the year, culminated in July this year, and since then the zloty has been under pressure. At first, it was due to the deterioration of the global environment (the strengthening of the dollar and the rise in market rates) and the exhaustion of previously dominant narratives regarding the reasons for its appreciation. In September, however, another factor came to the fore - the MPC's surprising decision to cut interest rates by 75 bps contributed to the depreciation of the zloty by nearly 20 grosz against the euro and the Swiss franc, and slightly more against the dollar. The end of this depreciation would be facilitated only by the reaction to the results of the parliamentary elections in October. Third quarter 2023 was thus a period of weakening of the zloty and a gentle increase in Treasury bond yields. .

Banking sector

Cumulative net profit of the banking sector totalled PLN 21.2 billion after September, according to the Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). The profits rose by PLN 16.7 billion y/y (283.5%) or, equivalently, PLN 2.5 billion mom (13.2%). The key factor behind profit growth was net interest income which grew by PLN 17.1 billion y/y (32.6%) with interest revenue rising by PLN 45 billion y/y and interest costs by PLN 27.1 billion y/y. As regards the costs, crucial role was played by cost of risk (which translated to reserves rising by PLN 4.3 billion y/y).

Balance sheet total rose by 8.4% y/y in September with assets worth PLN 3.0 trillion. Total deposits grew by 6.5% y/y. The assetgrowth was fueled primarily by debt securities which increased by PLN 154.0 billion y/y (42.2%).

rok According to the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the gap between credits and deposits becomes wider. Positive dynamics of deposits (9.8% y/y in September) and shrinkage of credits (-1.2% y/y) account for persistence of credit-todeposit falling ratio which, at 78.0%, hits a 21-year minimum. Falls of credits to households are slowing down (with September dynamics of -3.9% y/y vs -4.3% in August). In the upcoming months further bolstering of credit to households is to be expected due to the monetary loosening underway. The recent crunch in corporate credit (-5.1% y/y in

September, -6.2% y/y in August) was a statistical artifact of last year's elevated basis. However, on the deposit side, the situation is stable: the growth of total deposits remains stable (9.8% in September) amid a slight acceleration in household deposits (12.2% y/y compared to 11.6% in August) and stable dynamics in the segment corporate deposits (11.1% y/y compared to 11.0% in August).

On 27 June 2023 rating agency S&P Global Ratings informed the bank about maintaining the ratings of the bank at the current level with the stable outlook and assigning long-term rating of BBB+ for the issue of "Senior Preferred" series SP1 bonds.

According to S&P, the bank's ratings assesments reflect the Bank's limited exposure to legacy CHF-denominated loans, which puts the bank in a comfortable position regarding this legal risk. Also, considering its strong capitalization, Pekao might actually benefit from competitors' capital constraints and gain market share in the domestic corporate and retail business should loan demand pick up in the future. In addition, S&P considers that Pekao's strong capital and robust profitability provide comfortable buffers to absorb costs from potentially adverse scenarios. Its affiliation with its largest single investor, state-owned insurance company PZU, benefits its franchise in the domestic corporate banking business and also supports the placement of MREL instruments with domestic investors.

On 28 September 2023 Fitch rating agency informed the Bank about maintaining the Bank Pekao S.A.'s Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB' with "Stable" outlook and Viability Rating (VR) at 'bbb'.

Bank Pekao S.A.'s ratings reflect its strong domestic franchise, and its seasoned and stable business model. This, combined with a moderate risk appetite, allows the bank to generate fairly stable returns, while maintaining reasonable capitalisation, and strong funding and liquidity. This is despite it being exposed to risks in the domestic operating environment, including government intervention risk. Bank Pekao S.A.'s National Ratings reflect the bank's creditworthiness relative to that of other issuers in Poland.

Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. financial credibility ratings

Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. cooperates with the international rating agency Fitch Ratings.

Fitch emphasizes that the rating of Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. is related to the rating of Bank Pekao S.A., which holds 100% of the Bank's shares. According to Fitch Pekao BH's IDRs, National Ratings and SSR are driven by institutional support from Bank Pekao.

On 6 September 2023, the Fitch Ratings rating agency informed the bank about maintaining the Long-Term IDR of Pekao's fully-owned mortgage bank subsidiary, Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. (Pekao BH), at 'BBB'/Stable. On 11 September 2023, the Fitch Ratings rating agency maintained the rating of mortgage covered bonds of Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. at the "BBB+" level, with a Stable outlook.

5.7 Factors which will affect the results of the Group

The activity of Bank Pekao S.A. and the Group's companies is in majority conducted on the Polish territory, hence the Group's performance will be mainly affected by economic situation in the country and international events that have influence on domestic economy.

Our macroeconomic outlook assumes disinflation slowdown alongside with stable output growth and elevated uncertainty. CPI inflation decreases: it amounted to 13.1% y/y in the second quarter of 2023, while our estimates point to 9.7% and 6.6% respectively in the third and fourth quarter, and to 5.5% in 2024. Further disinflation means that global factors (energy, oil, goods in general) will play a diminishing role in the inflation-setting process, while domestic factors will become more important.

Perspectives for GDP growth remain optimistic. After contractionary second quarter of 2023 (-0.6% y/y) we expect output to grow by 0.3% and 2% respectively in the third and fourth quarter, and 2.0% in 2024. Growth will be propelled by private consumption (in line with historical trends). Negative contribution of stocks will wane, while net exports will contribute negatively to the GDP growth. A robust, consumption-fueled growth shall be considered a risk factor affecting path of disinflation; however, it may also bolster credit demand and drive further innovations to the cost of risk.

Monetary policy has always affected banks' financial results, and we consider it the pivotal factor shaping next year results. Profits achieved by the banking sector in 2022 and 2023 have been elevated by historically high interest rates. A cycle of rate hikes which started in October 2021 had raised the main interest rate to a historical high of 6.75%, which in turn drove banks interest revenue upwards. However, in the current disinflationary environment, monetary easing shall be considered. Before the surprising rate cut by 75 bp in September we had expected an aggregate cut by 100 bp in the second half of 2023, but we revised our forecasts downwards ever since. Now we expect a 5.5% interest rate by the end of 2023 and 4.0% by the end of 2024. Such hefty rate cuts, stronger from expected, may drive sector results downwards, but at the same time stimulatory effect of expansionary monetary policy could have positive second-round effects (i.e. stimulated growth shall drive credit demand upwards).

Another significant factors are Government mortgage debtor support programs, i.a. credit holidays and safe credit 2%. Aggregate cost of the credit holidays has been estimated to PLN 1.8 bilion in years 2022-2023. A question whether the programme is continued in 2024 remains open: the government has proposed a bill on continuing the programme in 2024 (with a few eligibility restrictions added), but the sentiments of the newly-elected Parliament towards the bill remain obscure. On the other hand, 'safe credit 2%' incurs no cost at the Bank – both currently and in the medium-run perspective.

Financial results of the Pekao Group may be subject to the risks related to the investment cycle; in particular, Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds may have particular impact. NGEU funds inflow could boost investment and demand for corporate credit, especially given the slump in absorption of the EU 2021-2027 budgetary perspective resources which is expected in 2024-25. One shall bear in mind that according to our internal forecasts, average investment rate in 2025 will be negative. Yet the timing of NGEU funds inflow will be subject to political negotiation between Poland and the European Commission, possibly also to completion of given legislative or administrative procedures. Possibility of delay in the process of creation of the government constitutes an additional risk factor.

Minimal value of capital ratios on Pillar I level are:

  • − Total capital ratio (TCR) in amount of 8%,
  • − Tier I capital ratio (T1) in amount of 6%,
  • − Common Equity Tier I capital ratio (CET 1) in amount of 4.5%.

Combined buffer requirement as at 30 September 2023 consists of:

  • − Capital conservation buffer in amount of 2.50%,
  • − Countercyclical capital buffer in amount of 0.02%1 ,
  • − Other systemically important institution buffer in amount of 1.00%,

4.1. New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been approved and published by the European Union and are effective on or after 1 January 2023

STANDARD /
INTERPRETATION
DESCRIPTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT
IFRS 17
'Insurance contracts'
The new standard requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current
fulfillment value and provides a more uniform measurement and
presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are
designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting
for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts'
and related interpretations while applied.
The Group analyzed the products offered, whether
they meet the definition of insurance contracts in
the light of IFRS 17. The results of the analysis
show that the products offered by the Group do
not carry significant insurance risk and are not
insurance contracts. Thus, the new standard did
not have a material impact on the financial
statements in the period of their first application.
IAS 1 (amendment)
'Presentation of financial
statement' and 'IFRS 2
Principles of Practice:
Accounting Policy
Disclosures' (amendment)
The amendments to IAS 1 include:

an entity is required to disclose its material accounting policy
information instead of its significant accounting policies,

clarification that accounting policy information may be material
because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial,

clarification that accounting policy information is material if users of
an entity's financial statements would need it to understand other
material information in the financial statements, and

clarification that if an entity discloses immaterial accounting policy
information, such information shall not obscure material accounting
policy information.
The standard's amendments did not have a
material impact on the financial statements in the
period of their first application.

STANDARD /
INTERPRETATION
DESCRIPTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT
IAS 8 (amendment)
'Accounting policies,
changes in accounting
estimates and errors'
The amendments to IAS 8 include:

the definition of a change in accounting estimates is replaced with a
definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition,
accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements
that are subject to measurement uncertainty,

clarification that a change in accounting estimate that results from
new information or new developments is not the correction of an
error. In addition, the effects of a change in an input or a
measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are
changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the
correction of prior period errors,

clarification that a change in an accounting estimate may affect only
the current period's profit or loss, or the profit or loss of both the
current period and future periods. The effect of the change relating
to the current period is recognized as income or expense in the
current period. The effect, if any, on future periods is recognized as
income or expense in those future periods.
The standard's amendments did not have a
material impact on the financial statements in the
period of their first application.
IAS 12 (amendment)
'Income taxes'
The amendments introduce the requirement to recognise deferred tax on
transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of
taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments will
mainly apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and
decommissioning obligations.
The standard's amendments did not have a
material impact on the financial statements in the
period of their first application.
IFRS 17 (amendment)
'Insurance contracts' and
IFRS 9 (amendment)
'Financial instruments'
The main amendment regards entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS
9 at the same time. The amendment regards financial assets for which
comparative information is presented on initial application of IFRS 17 and
IFRS 9, but where this information has not been restated for IFRS 9.
Under the amendment, an entity is permitted to present comparative
information about a financial asset as if the classification and
measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial
asset before. In applying the classification overlay to a financial asset, an
entity is not required to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9.
There are no changes to the transition requirements in IFRS 9.
The standard's amendments did not have a
material impact on the financial statements in the
period of their first application.

4.2. New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and have been approved by the European Union but are not yet effective

the characteristics of an arrangement for which an entity is required to provide
the information. The amendments note that arrangements that are solely credit
enhancements for the entity or instruments used by the entity to settle directly
with a supplier the amounts owed are not supplier finance arrangements.

entities will have to disclose in the notes information that enables users of
financial statements to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an
entity's liabilities and cash flows and to understand the effect of supplier finance
arrangements on an entity's exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might
be affected if the arrangements were no longer available to it,

adding to IAS 7 additional disclosure requirements about:

the terms and conditions of the supplier finance arrangements,

for the arrangements, as at the beginning and end of the reporting period:

currency for the other currency through markets or exchange mechanisms that
create enforceable rights and obligations without undue delay at the
measurement date and for a specified purpose; a currency is not exchangeable
into the other currency if an entity can only obtain an insignificant amount of the
other currency,

specify how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency
is not exchangeable — when a currency is not exchangeable at the
measurement date, an entity estimates the spot exchange rate as the rate that
would have applied to an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date and that would faithfully reflect the economic conditions
prevailing,

require the disclosure of additional information when a currency is not
exchangeable — when a currency is not exchangeable an entity discloses
information that would enable users of its financial statements to evaluate how
a currency's lack of exchangeability affects, or is expected to affect, its financial
performance, financial position and cash flows.
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
The Group claims that the standard's
amendments will not have a material
impact on the financial statements in
the period of its first application.

4.4. Other expected regulatory changes

The Act on social financing for business ventures and support to borrowers provides for the possibility of introducing a substitute for the WIBOR reference index, with the details of the substitute and the date of its introduction being determined by a dedicated regulation of the Minister of Finance.

In connection with the above, in July 2022, a national working group for the reform of reference indexes ('NGR') was established from representatives of inter alia the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Poland, the Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, as well as the largest banks, insurance companies and investment companies. The purpose of NGR is to prepare a new index and a schedule for its implementation in such a way as to ensure the security of the financial system.

In the third quarter of 2022, NGR decided to select the WIRON index (Warsaw Interest Rate Overnight) as an alternative reference interest rate indicator, the input data of which is information representing overnight transactions.

Ultimately, WIRON is to become the key interest rate benchmark which will be used in financial contracts (e.g. loan agreements), financial instruments (e.g. debt securities or derivatives) and by investment funds (e.g. in setting management fees).

In addition, in the third quarter of 2022, NGR developed a schedule of the so-called Road Map, the purpose of which is to create a liquid market for cash and derivative financial instruments using the selected reference indicator for the Polish zloty (PLN), preparation operational and technical of all financial market participants (issuers, investors, market infrastructure institutions) to replace the WIBOR and WIBID benchmarks by WIRON, to carry out the required changes in Polish law and to build full awareness of the reform and its consequences among all financial market participants, especially consumers.

Due to the very many interrelated elements involved in the reform of benchmarks, the process will be staggered over time. NGR specified in the Road Map that with the effective cooperation of all parties involved, the reform of benchmarks in Poland will be fully implemented by the end of 2027.

5. Significant accounting policies

General information

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Polish Zloty, and all amounts are stated in PLN thousand, unless indicated otherwise.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the Group will continue its business operations substantially unchanged in scope for a period of at least one year from the balance sheet date.

In the period of 9 months ended on 30 September of 2023 the Group did not amend its accounting policies in respect to valuation of assets and liabilities and profit measurement, except for the changes in presentation in the income statement of interest income and expense on hedging derivatives, which where described below.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, apart from changes in presentation in the income statement of interest income and expense on hedging derivatives, are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2022. Those accounting policies have been applied uniformly to all presented reporting periods and by all entities of the Group.

Changes in published standards and interpretations, which became effective on or after 1 January 2023, had no material impact on the Group's financial statements.

The financial statements does not take into consideration interpretations and amendments to standards, pending approval by the European Union or approved by the European Union but came into force or shall come into force after the balance sheet date (Note 4.2 and Note 4.3). In the Group's opinion, amendments to standards and interpretations will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Comparability of financial data

In the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the period of 9 months ended on 30 September of 2023, the Group and Bank changed the accounting principles in the method of presenting in the income statement of interest income and expenses on hedging derivatives, including them with interest on hedged items.

In the opinion of the Group and Bank, the change in the presentation of the above-mentioned interest income and expenses better reflects the nature of these transactions and increases the transparency of the income statement from the point of view of its users.

The changes in the accounting principles indicated above made it necessary to restate the comparative data, but they did not affect the level of the presented financial result.

The impact of the changes on the comparative data of the consolidated income statement is presented in the tables below.

6. Accounting estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management Board of the Bank to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Group and rely on historic data and other factors including expectation of the future events which seems justified in given circumstances.

Estimates and related assumptions are subject to ongoing verification. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively from the period in which the estimate was changed.

Significant accounting estimates related uncertainties relate primarily to expected credit losses and the determination of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets.

Information on the assumptions made and the uncertainty related to the estimates made, connected to a significant risk of material adjustments to the financial statements for the next reporting period, is presented below.

Impairment of loans and advances to customers, expected credit losses

At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence ('trigger') that credit exposures are impaired taking into consideration actual definition of Default. The definition of Default consistently considers all financial instruments. For financial instruments that are not impaired, the Group asses if credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.

If at balance sheet date credit risk concerning the financial instrument has not increase significantly since initial recognition, the Group recognizes impaired allowances for expected credit losses with regard to the financial instrument as an amount equal 12-month expected credit losses. Otherwise, the Group recognizes impaired allowances for expected credit losses with regard to the financial instrument as an amount equal expected credit losses over the expected life (lifetime horizon) of that financial instrument (lifetime expected credit losses).

In order to determine the expected credit losses, the Group distinguishes individually significant exposures, in particular: all financial assets towards the borrower for which the Group's total exposure as at the balance sheet date is at least PLN 4 million or PLN 1 million in the case of customers overdue more than 90 days or in the case of which the condition for restructuring has been met on at least one contract.

For all individually significant financial instruments, which are impaired as at balance sheet date, the Group measures the impairment allowance (impairment credit loss) as part of individual assessment. The individual assessment is carrying out by the Group's employees and consists of individual verification of the default occurrence and projection of future cash flows from foreclosure, less costs incurred for obtaining and selling the collateral or other repayment resources. The Group compares the estimated future cash flows applied for measurement of individual expected credit losses with the actual cash flows on a regular basis.

For all other financial instruments the Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses according to IFRS 9, taking into account forecasts and expected future economic conditions in the context of credit risk.

Impairment of non-current assets (including goodwill)

At each balance sheet date the Group reviews its non-current assets for indications of impairment. The Group performs an impairment test of goodwill on a yearly basis or more often if impairment triggers occur.

Where such indications exist, the Group makes a formal estimation of the recoverable value (of a given assets or – in the case of goodwill - all cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates).

If the carrying amount of a given asset is in excess of its recoverable value, impairment is defined and a write-down is recorded to adjust the carrying amount to the level of its recoverable value. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use.

Estimation of the value-in-use of an assets (or cash generating unit) requires assumptions to be made regarding, among other, future cash flows which the Group may obtain from the given asset (or cash generating unit), any changes in amount or timing of occurrence of these cash flows and other factors such as the lack of liquidity. The adoption of different measurement assumptions may affect the carrying amount of some of the Group's non-current assets.

As at 30 September 2023, there was no need to make impairment allowances for non-current assets, including goodwill.

As at 30 September 2023 the Group assessed the probability of the impact of legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF on future expected cash flows from loan exposures and the probability of cash outflows.

Given the unfavourable jurisprudence line regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF and the short period of historical data regarding lawsuits related to the above-mentioned loans, the estimation of the provision required the Group to adopt expert assumptions and is associated with significant uncertainty.

Details on the main assumptions used to estimate the provisions for legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF are presented in the Note 28.

Provisions for commission refunds in the event of early repayment of loan

As at 30 September 2023 the Group estimated the possible amount of cash outflow as a refund of commission to the customer in relation to early repayment of consumer loans (for loans prepaid before the judgment of the CJEU, i.e. before 11 September 2019).

The Group also estimated the possible amount of cash outflow for the return of the commission to the client in connection with early repayment of mortgage loans.

In addition, with regard to balance sheet exposures as at 30 September 2023, the Group estimated the possible prepayments of these exposures in the future which is reflected in the reduction of the gross carrying amount of these exposures.

The estimates required the Group to adopt expert assumptions primarily regarding the scale of complaints and amounts reimbursed for prepaid loans, as well as the expected scale of prepayments and future returns for balance sheet exposures, and are associated with significant uncertainty.

Fair value measurement

The principles of estimating fair value of derivative instruments and unquoted debt securities measured at fair value did not change in relation to 31 December 2022.

Costs of modifying PLN mortgage loan agreements with regard to possible suspension of repayment

In connection with the entry into force in 2022 of the Act on social financing for business ventures and support to borrowers, enabling consumers with PLN mortgage loan agreements to suspend their repayments, the Group estimates the costs associated with a possible with modification of these agreements in this respect, taking into account the expertly determined participation ratio. Details are presented in the Note 8.

7. Operating segments

Modification of expected cash flows related to mortgage loan agreements in PLN

According to par. 5.4.3 of IFRS 9 introduced in July 2022 by the Act on social financing for business ventures and support to borrowers, rights for customers to suspend their loan repayments constitutes a modification of the expected cash flows and requires the adjustment of the gross carrying amount of the abovementioned loans by designating and recognizing in the Group's financial result the estimated cost resulting from the above-mentioned permissions as the difference between:

  • 1) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan portfolio that meets the criteria of the Act (gross carrying amount of this portfolio),
  • 2) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan portfolio, determined based on the modified cash flows taking into account the terms of the Act (i.e. the possibility of suspending the repayment of loan instalments within the specified time frame with the simultaneous extension of the loan period) discounted with the current effective interest rate of the above-mentioned portfolio, taking into account the estimated level of participation of eligible customers who, in the Group's opinion, will exercise this right and recognition in the financial results of the cost the modification of PLN mortgage loan due to the suspension of loan repayments by customer.

As at 30 September 2023, the Group maintained the above-mentioned estimates for:

  • 1) current status as at the balance sheet date of the portfolio covered by the above-mentioned entitlements, i.e. the volume of loan agreements that meet the criteria for exercising the entitlements in the fourth quarter of 2023,
  • 2) the expected level of participation rate (use of rights under the Act) for the following months of 2023, i.e. taking into account the existing participation rate (participation level in terms of loan volume 70% as at 30 September 2023 and the observed trend, the Group estimated the participation rate for 2023 at the level of 72%,
  • 3) allocation of 60% of the suspended payments by borrowers using credit holidays in 2023 for early loan repayment.

The Group maintained the originally adopted estimates with regard to the use of the maximum suspension period provided for in the Act.

Due to the fact that the above calculation is an estimate of the expected exercise by customers of the rights resulting from the Act, and the actual implementation will take place in the period specified in the Act, i.e. to the end of 2023 under the conditions specified in the Act, the final cost related to the above-mentioned modifications may change and will be charged to the Group's current financial results.

28. Legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF

Adopted accounting principles

The Group recognizes that the legal risk related to the outstanding portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF as at 30 September 2023 affects the expected cash flows from this portfolio and the level of expected credit loss within the meaning of IFRS 9 that can be incurred by the Group.

In connection with the above, the credit risk of the portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF is assessed by the Group, taking into account the legal risk associated with this portfolio. Due to unfavorable judgments, resulting in a higher expected number of lawsuits in the portfolio and a significant probability of losing the case, as at 30 September 2023, the Group assumed that loans for which the probability of litigation with the customer is higher than 60% are classified as Stage 3. Other loans (not meeting the above criterion) were classified to Stage 2. As a result of the above, in the case of a provision relating to (allocated to) an active credit agreement, it is recognized first as an element of the impairment allowances on the credit exposure. However, any surplus of this provision over the net value of the credit exposure is presented as an element of the Provision.

However, with regard to the repaid portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF, the Group applies IAS 37 and recognizes provisions allocated to this part of the portfolio under 'Provisions' and 'Other operating expenses', which were presented in the Note 24 and Note 12, respectively.

Portfolio characteristics

Bank Pekao S.A. has not granted loans in CHF to the public since 2003. Almost the entire current portfolio of loans in CHF for individuals was taken over by Bank Pekao S.A. in the process of partial division of Bank BPH S.A. (loans granted before August 2006).

As at 30 September 2023, the Group had a portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF with a total gross carrying amount of PLN 2 335.5 million (i.e. CHF 486.3 million) compared to PLN 2 566 million (i.e. CHF 538.2 million) as at 31 December 2022.

Court proceedings related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF

In 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union (hereinafter the 'CJEU') issued a ruling on a CHF-indexed loan granted by another bank, in which it interpreted the provisions of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer loans based on the CHF indexed loan agreement. The CJEU indicated the consequences of recognizing the possible abusiveness of conversion clauses by the domestic court, without examining the possible abusiveness of contractual provisions at all. The CJEU did not prejudge that in the event that a domestic court finds possible abusiveness, the court should automatically declare the entire contract invalid. The assessment in this respect remains to be decided by the national court, but the CJEU has not ruled out the possibility of filling the gap resulting from the abusive nature of conversion clauses by means of domestic regulations. However, subsequent rulings of the CJEU exclude the admissibility of filling the gap after eliminating the prohibited provision under national law, as a result of which the national courts recognize loan agreements as unenforceable after the removal of the abusive provision (conversion clause) and consider that the agreement cannot be enforced, as a result of which the courts determine the invalidity of the loan agreement.

The ruling of the CJEU constitute interpretative guidelines for the above-mentioned Directive for Polish courts. At the same time, it can be rightly said that the unfavorable position has become permanent, which results in courts issuing judgments establishing the invalidity of loan agreements and ordering borrowers to refund the loan installments paid to the Bank as an undue benefit.

To date, no resolution has been adopted by the full composition of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court regarding the issues covered by the request of the First President of the Supreme Court, namely the answers to the following questions:

  • 1) whether the abusive provisions relating to the method of determining the currency rate in an indexed or denominated loan agreement can be replaced by provisions of civil or customary law,
  • 2) if it is impossible to establish a binding exchange rate for a foreign currency in a denominated loan agreement, the agreement may bind the parties in the remaining scope,
  • 3) if it is impossible to establish a binding exchange rate for a foreign currency in the loan agreement, the agreement may bind the parties in the remaining scope,
  • 4) whether the balance theory or the theory of two conditions will apply in the event of cancellation of the loan agreement,
  • 5) which is the moment to start the limitation period in the event that the bank makes a claim against the borrower for the repayment of the loan,
  • 6) whether it is possible for banks and borrowers to receive remuneration for using the funds.

In the Group's opinion, the Supreme Court's is valid only to the question number 6), as the remaining issues have already been resolved in preliminary rulings issued by the CJEU. In addition, it should be noted that it is not certain whether the Civil Chamber will adopt a resolution on this question at all.

On 7 May 2021, the Supreme Court, in the Civil Chamber, composed of seven judges, adopted a resolution resolving legal issues in case III CZP 6/21, indicating that:

  • a prohibited contractual provision (Art.385 (1) § 1 of the Civil Code) is from the outset, by operation of law, ineffective in favor of the consumer, who may subsequently give informed and free consent to this provision and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively,
  • if the loan agreement cannot be binding without an ineffective provision, the consumer and the lender are entitled to separate claims for the reimbursement of cash benefits provided in the performance of the agreement (Art. 410 § 1 in conjunction with Art. 405 of the Civil Code). The lender may request the return of the benefit from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.

The resolution in question was given the force of a legal principle, therefore in the scope of resolved issues, it is binding in other cases examined by common courts as well as by the Supreme Court.

In addition, there is a trend on the market related to the referral by common courts of inquiries regarding various types of doubts arising to the Supreme Court, as well as to the CJEU, which may also affect the future directions of judicial decisions. An example of such an important ruling is the judgment of the CJEU of 8 September 2022 issued in joined cases C-80/21 to C-82/21, in which the CJEU replied to the questions referred for a preliminary ruling by the District Court for Warszawa Śródmieście in Warsaw in the CHF case. The CJEU stated:

  • 1) The national court may not find that the entire contract term is unfair, but only its element which renders it unfair, if such removal would amount to changing the content of the term which would affect its essence. This means that, in principle, the national court is confined to finding that a whole contract term is unfair.
  • 2) If a national court finds that a contract term is unfair, with the result that the entire contract may continue in force despite the exclusion of the unfair terms, the national court cannot replace these terms with a national provision of an optional nature. This means that in such a case the national court may not apply the provisions of the Civil Code concerning the conversion of installments with the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland.
  • 3) The national court, after finding that a contract term is unfair, is not entitled to amend the content of that term in order to maintain the validity of the contract, which cannot remain in force after removal of the term, if the relevant consumer has been informed of the consequences of nullity of the contract and has agreed to the consequences of this nullity. This means that if the consumer has agreed to the consequences of the nullity of the contract (being informed of them), the national court may not, by ruling, change the content of such a condition, but must declare nullity.
  • 4) The run of the 10-year limitation period for the consumer's claim for reimbursement of the paid installments may not start from the moment of performance of each service in the performance of the contract (repayment of each installment), even if the consumer was not able to independently assess the unfairness of a contract term or did not become aware of unfair nature of this condition and without taking into account that the loan agreement provided for a much longer (30-year) repayment period. This means that the 10-year limitation period for the consumer's claim for repayment of installments does not start from the date of repayment of each installment. In practice, it should be assumed that no consumer claims for reimbursement of installments paid have expired.

On 15 June 2023, the CJEU introduced a judgment in case C-520/21, in which it settled the question referred for a preliminary ruling by the District Court for Warsaw - Sródmieście in Warsaw, stating in the operative part that in the context of recognizing a mortgage loan agreement as invalid in its entirety due to the fact that it cannot continue to apply after removing the unfair terms from it, Art. 6 sec. 1 and art. 7 sec. 1 of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts should be interpreted as follows:

  • they do not preclude a judicial interpretation of national law according to which the consumer is entitled to claim compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of the monthly installments and costs paid for the performance of that contract and the payment of statutory interest for late payment from the date of the request for payment, provided respect the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality, and
  • they preclude a judicial interpretation of national law according to which a credit institution is entitled to demand compensation from the consumer beyond the reimbursement of the capital paid for the performance of that contract and the payment of statutory interest for late payment from the date of the demand for payment.

The judgment in question closed the way for banks to pursue the so-called remuneration for the use of capital, while as regards consumer claims against banks, the CJEU referred to national law and emphasized that it is for the referring court to assess, in the light of all the circumstances of the dispute, whether taking into account such consumer claims complies with the principle of proportionality. Currently, the Group is not aware of such claims from borrowers, and therefore of their legal basis, scope or nature. At the same time, this judgment does not literally refer to the admissibility of the bank's claim for judicial indexation of the capital amount, at this time, opinions are expressed that such a claim is not covered by the scope of this judgment. However, regarding this issue, the national court has already referred a question for a preliminary ruling to the CJEU.

Until 30 September 2023, 4 919 individual court cases were pending against the Group regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF, which were granted in previous years, with the total value of the claim in the amount of PLN 1 632.7 million (as at 31 December 2022, the number of cases was 2 922, and the corresponding value of the dispute is PLN 916 million). The main cause of the dispute, as indicated by the plaintiffs, concerns the questioning of the provisions of the loan agreement with regard to the Group's application of conversion rates based on the Bank's Table and results in claims regarding the partial or complete invalidity of the loan agreements. In the period of 9 months ended on 30 September 2023 the Group received 807 unfavourable court judgments in cases brought by borrowers, including 127 final judgments and 25 favourable court judgments, including 2 final judgments (in 2022: 578 unfavourable court judgments, including 95 final judgments stating the invalidity of the loan agreement and 24 favourable court judgments, including 5 final judgments).

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the period of 9 months ended on 30 September 2023 (in PLN thousand)

In the third quarter of 2023, the Bank developed a new settlement offer addressed to borrowers with active (not fully repaid) CHF loan agreements, including those in legal dispute with the Bank. As part of the settlement, a new debt balance is determined = [loan amount disbursed] + [contractual interest at a fixed rate of 2%] - [sum of repayments made by the client]. If the balance determined in this way is negative, the loan will be written off and the Bank will return the overpayment to the client. For a positive balance, the remaining amount will bear interest at a fixed rate of 2% (for the first 5 years), and then according to the Bank's current offer. The start of offering settlements under the new program is scheduled for 2 October 2023.

Provision related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF - assumptions and calculation methodology

In the period of 9 months ended on 30 September 2023, the Group did not introduce any significant changes in the assumptions and methodology of calculating provisions in relation to what was presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Bank Pekao S.A. Group. for the year ended on 31 December 2022.

The level of the provision set by the Group requires each time the Group adopts many expert assumptions based on professional judgement.

Subsequent rulings and possible sectoral solutions that will appear on the Polish market with regard to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF may affect the amount of the provision determined by the Group and cause the necessity to change individual assumptions adopted in the calculations. In connection with the above-mentioned uncertainty, it is possible that the amount of the provision will change in the future.

Provision related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF – results and allocation

As at 30 September 2023, the level of the provision for the aforementioned legal risk related to CHF-denominated mortgage contracts estimated by the Group amounted to PLN 2 397.4 million and increased by PLN 199 million relative to the level of such provisions as at 31 December 2022.

The above amount includes a provision for individual existing litigation to which the Group is a party and a portfolio provision for the remaining CHF foreign currency mortgage loan contracts that are subject to the legal risk of the recognition of abusive conversion clauses. In addition, the Group has allocated the total amount of the provision to the allowance for loan losses element (in correspondence with the item 'Result from allowance for expected credit losses') and the litigation provision element (in correspondence with the item 'Other operating expenses').

A summary of the recognition of the provision for legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF in the statement of financial position and income statement is presented in the tables below.

Transfers of instruments between fair value hierarchy levels are based on changes in availability of active market quotations at the end of the reporting periods.

In the period from 1 January to 30 September 2023 the following transfers of financial instruments between the levels of the fair value hierarchy were made:

  • from Level 3 to Level 2: corporate bonds which were valued based on information on the prices of comparable financial instruments, corporate and municipal bonds with immaterial impact of the estimated credit parameters on the valuation, and equity derivative instruments for which impact of the estimated volatility on the valuation was immaterial,
  • from Level 2 to Level 3: corporate bonds, for which impact of estimated credit parameters was material.
