Independent auditor's report on the consolidated annual accounts

To the shareholders of Bankinter, S.A.:

Report on the consolidated annual accounts

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated annual accounts of Bankinter, S.A. (the Parent company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, and the income statement, statement of recognised income and expenses, statement of total changes in equity, statement of cash flow and related notes, all consolidated, for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated annual accounts present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, as well as its financial performance and cash flows, all consolidated, for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated annual accounts section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated annual accounts in Spain, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice. In this regard, we have not rendered services other than those relating to the audit of the accounts, and situations or circumstances have not arisen that, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned legislation, have affected our necessary independence such that it has been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters

Measurement adjustments for impairment of financial assets at amortised cost, loans and advances – customers

The Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 Financial instruments (IFRS 9) when it comes to measurement impairment adjustments under an expected loss model.

The calculation of impairment adjustments to the credit portfolio is one of the most significant estimates in the preparation of the accompanying annual accounts, reason why it has been considered as a key audit matter.

This estimation has increased its complexity in the context of uncertainty derived by the crisis caused by Covid 19, due to the incorporation in the internal models of additional elements of judgment. The internal models used by the Group take into account items such as:

The classification of the various credit portfolios and debtors based on their credit risk profile.
The identification and classification of assets under special supervision or that are impaired ("Stage 2" or "Stage 3"), including the additional criteria established in the context of Covid-19.
The use of prospective information in the different scenarios considered in the models, as well as the probability of their occurrence. The most relevant prospective information refers, among others, to the expected evolution of unemployment rates, the gross domestic product and the price of housing.

To define the base scenario, the Group has considered the macroeconomic forecasts published by central banks of Spain, Portugal and Ireland.

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Our work has focused primarily on the analysis, evaluation and verification of the general internal control framework, as well as the performance of detailed tests on provisions that are collectively and individually estimated, in collaboration with our internal specialists in credit risk models.

With respect to internal control system, we have obtained an understanding of the general internal control framework and main procedures and controls implemented by the Group, including the validation of key controls. Our procedures have focused on analysis of the methodologies developed by the Group for the calculation of provisions, evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operation of the internal models approved, the reasonableness of macroeconomic scenarios used and the periodic evaluation of risks and monitoring for the classification of assets.

We have also performed detailed tests consisting of:

Selective checks of the calculation methods, the portfolio segmentation, the classification of loans, the information used for the estimations, the criteria for determining a significant increase in credit risk (including the additional criteria established in the context of Covid-19 ) and the inclusion of certain attributes in the databases.
Replication of a sample of models, considering the prospective information and the scenarios used by the Group, in order to check the results obtained in the calculation of the impairment collectively estimated for certain credit portfolios.
Obtaining of a selection of individual files to evaluate their adequate classification and the recognition, if appropriate, of the relevant impairment.

Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the key audit matters
• The reasonableness of applying expert opinions to models, when applicable and the execution of validation tasks over the main parameters of the model. • The realisable value of the collateral associated with credit transactions. In addition, the Group carries out an individual estimation in the impairment calculations for those assets considered as significant, based on a detailed future cash flows analysis. See Notes 5, 10 and 44 to the accompanying consolidated annual accounts.	As result of the procedures described above, no differences have arisen outside of a reasonable range, with respect to the amount of measurement adjustments for impairment of financial assets in the context of the applicable accounting framework and under the accompanying consolidated annual accounts are prepared.
Distribution in kind of the entire share premium of the Parent company through the delivery of Línea Directa Aseguradora shares
On March 19, 2020, the Annual General Meeting of the Parent company approved the distribution in kind of its entire share premium of the Parent company, which amounts to 1,184 million euros, through the delivery to its shareholders of shares of its subsidiary Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros (Línea Directa Aseguradora).

Automation of the financial reporting systems

The Group's operations are largely dependent on the calculations, processing and information managed automatically by the diverse information systems that are used.

The effectiveness of the general internal control framework for information systems relating to the accounting recognition and closing process is essential for the performance of certain audit procedures based on internal controls.

The knowledge, evaluation and validation of general controls relating to financial reporting systems, due to their nature and the extension of the necessary audit procedures, constitute a critical area of our work, reason why it has been considered as a key audit matter

Our work has consisted of performing certain procedures within the general internal control area associated with information systems, and the processes that support the Group's accounting recognition and closings. We have obtained an understanding of the functionalities and involvement of the various Group information systems within the accounting recognition and closing process, with the support of our internal specialists in information systems.

With respect to information systems considered to be relevant in this context, we performed tests regarding the validation of the following aspects:

General controls over the management of authorization to access financial reporting systems and with respect to authorization of personnel to implement changes in computer processes.
The existence of management and control tools for automatic processes and potential issues.
Analysis of the manual entry generation process and selective extraction and filtering tests for the unusual entries included in the financial reporting systems.
Verification of the automatic controls that support the main key business processes that affect the recognition of items in the accounting systems.

As a result of the procedures described above, we did not identify relevant issues that could affect the accompanying consolidated annual accounts.

Other information: Consolidated management report

Other information comprises only the consolidated management report for the 2021 financial year, the formulation of which is the responsibility of the Parent company's directors and does not form an integral part of the consolidated annual accounts.

Our audit opinion on the consolidated annual accounts does not cover the consolidated management report. Our responsibility regarding the consolidated management report, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice, is to:

a) Verify only that the consolidated statement of non-financial information, certain information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration, as referred to in the Auditing Act, has been provided in the manner required by applicable legislation and, if not, we are obliged to disclose that fact.
b) Evaluate and report on the consistency between the rest of the information included in the consolidated management report and the consolidated annual accounts as a result of our knowledge of the Group obtained during the audit of the aforementioned financial statements, as well as to evaluate and report on whether the content and presentation of this part of the consolidated management report is in accordance with applicable regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that material misstatements exist, we are required to report that fact.

On the basis of the work performed, as described above, we have verified that the information mentioned in section a) above has been provided in the manner required by applicable legislation and that the rest of the information contained in the consolidated management report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated annual accounts for the 2021 financial year, and its content and presentation are in accordance with applicable regulations.

Responsibility of the directors and the audit committee for the consolidated annual accounts

The Parent company's directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated annual accounts, such that they fairly present the consolidated equity, financial position and financial performance of the Group, in accordance with IFRS-EU and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as the aforementioned directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated annual accounts, the Parent company's directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the aforementioned directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Parent company's audit comittee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and presentation of the consolidated annual accounts.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated annual accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated annual accounts.

As part of an audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent company's directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent company's directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated annual accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Parent company's audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Parent company's audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, and we communicate with the aforementioned those matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Parent company's audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

As a result, the Bank is obliged to prepare, in addition to its own separate financial statements, the Group's consolidated financial statements, including investments in joint ventures and associates.

The subsidiaries forming part of Bankinter Group are listed in Note 13 'Business combinations, investments in joint ventures and associates'.

The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in Note 5 "Accounting principles and measurement bases applied".

Bankinter, S.A.'s separate balance sheet as at 31 December 2021 and 2020 and the separate income statement for the years then ended are presented in Appendix IV.

Key highlights for Bankinter Group in the year include:

In April 2021, the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of Bankinter, S.A. of 19 March 2020, involving the distribution in kind of its entire share premium (1,184 million euros), was executed. This involved the delivery to its shareholders of securities representing 82.6% of the share capital of its subsidiary Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros (Note 13).

The impact of this distribution on 'Profit or loss for the period' amounted to 895,732 million euros (910,797 million euros before tax), recognised under "Profit or (-) loss after tax from discontinued operations" in the consolidated income statement.

In May 2021, the Annual General Meeting of Bankinter Capital Riesgo, S.G.E.I.C., S.A. agreed to its winding up and liquidation. The Bankinter Capital Riesgo I, FCR fund, which was managed by the former, was dissolved and liquidated in financial year 2020.

Two new alternative investment vehicles were created in 2021: a) Bankinter Logística, S.A., for the acquisition of logistics assets; and b) Victoria Hotels & Resorts, S.L., for the acquisition of hotel assets. The Bank's institutional and private banking customers invest in these vehicles as shareholders. Bankinter Auto y Hogar, S.A. was also incorporated in 2021 as part of the reorganisation of Bankinter Group's insurance businesses.

At the close of the financial year, Bankinter International Notes Sàrl was in the process of being incorporated for the purpose of issue structured bonds.

In June 2021, Bankinter issued subordinated debt (considered tier 2 for the purposes of capital adequacy regulations) in the amount of 750 million euros, for a term of 11 and a half years (to 23 December 2032) with a call redemption option after 6 and a half years, on 23 December 2027. The interest rate on this issue is 1.25% (Note 19).

The health crisis caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus continued in 2021, forcing all countries to take measures that have affected the normal course of the national and international economy. The pandemic and the measures taken to fight it have had a material impact on the Group's activity and businesses (Note 44).

2. Accounting standards applied

a) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002, all companies that are governed by the Law of a member state of the European Union, and whose equity securities are listed on a regulated market of any of the States that constitute it, must prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") that have been previously adopted by the European Union.

To adapt the accounting regime of Spanish credit institutions to the principles and criteria of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by regulations of the European Union ("IFRS-EU"), Banco de España published Circular 4/2017 of 27 November, with an effective date of 1 January 2018. In 2021, it published Circular 6/2021 of 22 December amending Banco de España Circular 4/2017 of 27 November.

Bankinter Group's consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Bank's directors (at the meeting of the board of directors held on 21 February 2022) in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable to the Group, as set out in the Code of Commerce and other company law, and the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and taking into account Banco de España Circular 4/2017, of 27 November, and subsequent amendments, and other regulations. The consolidated financial statements will be presented for approval at the Annual General Meeting and it is expected that they will be approved with modification.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements contain information in addition to that presented in the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of total changes in equity, the consolidated statement of recognised income and expense and the consolidated statement of cash flows. They contain narrative descriptions or breakdowns of these statements in a clear, relevant, reliable and comparable manner.

The Group's consolidated financial statements for 2020 were approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2021.

The accounting policies and methods used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for previous year, taking into consideration the Standards and Interpretations that became effective in the current year.

Appendix II describes the changes in standards and Interpretations classified into the following categories:

Mandatory standards, amendments and interpretations for all annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
Standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that cannot be adopted early or that have not been endorsed by the European Union.
Standards, amendments and interpretations that have not yet become effective but may be adopted early the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.

b) Accounting principles and measurement bases

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and measurement bases, as described in Note 5 "Accounting principles and measurement bases applied".

Unless stated otherwise, these consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros. The accounting balances have been rounded to present amounts in thousands of euros. Therefore, amounts appearing in certain tables may not be the exact arithmetic sum of the figures preceding them.

c) Judgements and estimates used

The information included in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Group's directors. Estimates were used to measure certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and obligations, which were made by the Group's senior management and confirmed by the directors. These estimates relate mainly to:

impairment losses on certain assets, including the value of real estate collateral and the definition of significant increase in risk, and additional criteria used due to the COVID-19-related crisis (Notes 10 and 44).
the useful life attributed to tangible and intangible assets, and the recoverability of goodwill on consolidation (Notes 14, 15 and 16).
the fair value of certain unlisted assets and properties (Notes 43 and 12).
the actuarial assumptions used to calculate liabilities post-employment benefit obligations (Note 27).
the calculation of legal and tax-related provisions (Note 20).

Although these estimates were made using the best information available at the end of the reporting period, future events mike may it necessary to change them in future periods. In accordance with IAS 8, changes in accounting estimates are made prospectively, with any effects recognised in the consolidated income statement of the period or periods affected.

d) Basis of consolidation

The definition of the Group is based on prevailing accounting legislation. Investees are all subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to exercise control. The Group controls a company when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. No company in which the Group holds less than 50% is considered a subsidiary.

The financial statements of subsidiaries were fully consolidated. Accordingly, all significant balances and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in the consolidation process.

For companies acquired by the Group in the year, only the profit or loss for the period between the acquisition date and the end of the reporting period is included in the consolidated financial statements. Similarly, for companies sold by the Group during the year, the profit or loss for the period between the beginning of the period and the date of disposal is consolidated.

Investees that are not subsidiaries but are jointly controlled by the Group and another company or companies unrelated to the Group are joint ventures. A joint venture is also a contractual arrangement whereby two or more entities or venturers carry out transactions or hold assets so that strategic financial and operating decisions affecting the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the venturers, provided that these transactions or assets are not integrated in financial structures other than those of the venturers. In the consolidated financial statements, the financial information of joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method.

Associates are companies over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence exists generally, but not exclusively, exists when the Group holds, directly or indirectly through other investees, 20% or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Consequently, investments in associates and joint ventures were measured at the percentage of the Group's interest in their capital adjusted for the dividends received and other equity eliminations. The Group's share of gains or losses on transactions with associates or joint ventures is eliminated. If as a result of losses the equity of an associate or joint venture is negative, the Group's presents the investment in the consolidated balance sheet with a value of zero, it is required to provide financial support.

In accordance with IAS 36, if there is any evidence of impairment of an investment in a joint venture or an associate, the carrying amount of the investment is compared with its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use and fair value plus costs of disposal.

IFRS 3 defines a business combination as a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses.

Structured entities are investees of the Group designed so that voting and other rights are not a determining factor in deciding who controls the entity.

Where the Group incorporates these companies to allow customers access to certain investments or to transfer risks to other purposes, whether or not it has control over the investee and, therefore, whether or not it should be consolidated is determined in accordance with current regulations. Note 13 provides a detail of structured entities.

e) Comparison of information

The information referred to 2020 in these notes to the consolidated financial statements is presented exclusively for comparison with the information for 2021.

There are no additional significant matters that may have a material effect on the comparability of the figures presented in relation to this year with those of the previous year.

3. Distribution of profit for the year

In 2020, the European Central Bank issued a recommendation on dividend distributions to credit institutions to help them better sustain the economy during the COVID-19 crisis. The supervisor recommended that until 30 September 2021 credit institutions exercise extreme prudence when deciding dividend payments. In July 2021, the European Central Bank decided not to extend the recommendation it issued to credit institutions to limit dividend distributions beyond that date.

The proposed distribution of the profit obtained by Bankinter, S.A. during the year ended 31 December 2021 prepared by the Bank's directors and to be submitted for approval at the Annual General Meeting is as follows:

Distribution:
Voluntary reserves	1,152,663
Legal reserve	-
Dividends (Note 21)	218,687
Profit distributed	1,371,351
Profit or loss for the period	1,371,351

Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2021 approved the distribution of 2020 profit, which consisted of earmarking 157,233 thousand euros to "Voluntary reserves" and 44,724 thousand euros to "Dividends".

Details of the interim dividends distributed and the relevant liquidity statements are set out in Note 21.

4. Deposit Guarantee Fund and Single Resolution Fund

The expense recognised for the Group's contributions to the Deposit Guarantee Fund and the Single Resolution Fund was recognised under "Other operating expenses" in the consolidated income statement (Note 33).

5. Accounting principles and measurement bases applied

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and measurement bases established by current accounting legislation. Following is a summary of the most significant ones:

a) Going concern principle

When preparing the consolidated financial statements the consideration was that the companies included in the Group will continue to operate on a going-concern basis. The application of the accounting standards is therefore not intended to determine the value of consolidated equity for the purposes of its complete or partial transfer or the resulting amount in the event of liquidation.

b) Accruals principle

Except with respect to the consolidated statement of cash flows, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the actual flow of assets and services regardless of the date of payment or collection.

Interest accrued on both credit and debit transactions with settlement terms in excess of 12 months is calculated using the financial discounting method. In transactions with shorter terms, interest is accrued indistinctly using the financial discounting or the linear method.

Following general financial practice, transactions are recorded on the date on which they occur, which can differ from their corresponding value date. This date is used to calculate finance income and expenses.

c) Foreign currency transactions and balances

i. Presentation currency:

The presentation currency is the euro.

ii. Foreign currency translation:

Balances and transactions in foreign currency are translated to euros using the following rules:

Monetary assets and liabilities have been converted to euros using the average spot exchange rates in the currency market at the year-end.
Non-monetary Items valued at historic cost have been converted to euros using the exchange rates in force on the acquisition date.
Non-monetary items stated at fair value have been converted to euros using the exchange rates in force on the date on which the fair value was determined.
Income and expenses have been converted to euros using the exchange rates in force on the transaction date (using the average exchange rates for the year for all transactions carried out during that year). Depreciation and amortisation charges has been translated to euros at the exchange rate applied to the related asset.
Forward currency contracts: These transactions are translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date in the forward foreign exchange market, bearing in mind the term of maturity.

Foreign exchange differences have been recognised in the consolidated income statement with the exception of non-monetary items measured at fair value whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in equity.

d) Consolidated statements of cash flows

The Group has used the indirect method for preparing the statements of cash flows, which contain the following expressions including the following classification criteria:

Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents; such equivalents are as short-term investments with high liquidity and a low risk of alterations in their value. Cash and cash equivalents include the balances of "Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits" in the accompanying balance sheets.
Operating activities: typical activities of credit institutions, as well as other activities that cannot be classified as investment or financing activities.
Investment activities: the acquisition, disposal or use by other means of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.
Financing activities: activities that produce changes in the size and composition of the shareholders' assets and of the liabilities that do not form part of the operating activities.

e) Consolidated statement of recognised income and expense

This part of the consolidated statement of changes in equity presents the income and expenses generated by the Group as a result of its business during the period. A distinction is made between items recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated income statement for the period and other income and expenses recognised directly in consolidated equity, in accordance with prevailing regulations.

Therefore, this statement presents:

a. Consolidated profit or loss for the period.
b. The net amount of income and expenses temporarily recognised as valuation adjustments in consolidated equity.
c. The net amount of income and expenses definitively recognised in consolidated equity.
d. Income tax accrued on b) and c) above, except for the valuation adjustments arising from investments in associates or joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, which are shown net.

e. Total consolidated recognised income and expenses, calculated as the sum of the preceding points, showing the amount attributable to the parent company and amount attributable to minority interests (non-controlling interests) separately.

The amount of income and expenses related to companies accounted for using the equity method and recognised directly in equity are presented in this statement, regardless of their nature, under 'Entities accounted for using the equity method'.

Changes in income and expense recognised in equity as valuation adjustments are broken down into:

Valuation gains (losses): records the amount of income recognised directly under consolidated equity, net of expenses arising during the year. The amounts recognised during the period in this item remain in this item, even if in the same period they are transferred to consolidated profit or loss or reclassified to another item.
Amounts transferred to profit or loss: records the amount of valuation gains or losses previously recognised under consolidated equity, even if in the same year, that are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Amount transferred to the initial carrying amount of the hedged items: Records the amount of valuation gains or losses previously recognised under consolidated equity, even if in the same year, that are recognised in the initial value of assets or liabilities as a result of cash flow hedges.
Other reclassifications: includes the amount of the transfers made in the period between valuation adjustment items, in accordance with the criteria established in the prevailing legislation.

The amounts of these items are presented gross, showing the relevant tax effect in "Income tax" except for the items relating to valuation adjustments for entities accounted for using the equity method, as indicated above.

f) Consolidated statement of total changes in equity

The consolidated statement of changes in equity presents all changes in equity, including those arising from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. This statement therefore shows a reconciliation of the carrying amount at beginning and end of the period relating to all items in consolidated equity, grouping together changes based on their nature into the following items:

• Effect of changes in accounting policies and error corrections: which includes the changes in consolidated equity that arise as a result of the retroactive restatement of the balances in the financial statements originating from changes in accounting policies or error corrections.

Total comprehensive income for the year: includes, in aggregate, the total of the items recorded in the statement of recognised income and expense indicated above.
Other changes in equity: records the rest of the items recognised under equity, such as increases or decreases in the appropriation fund, distribution of earnings, transactions involving treasury shares, payments involving equity instruments, transfers between equity items and any other increase or decrease in consolidated equity.

g) Recognition, measurement and classification of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

In general, financial assets are initially measured at their fair value. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, the fair value of a financial instrument and initial recognition is the transaction price. For instruments without an active market, the transaction price is used in the initial recognition unless there is evidence from the specific terms of the instrument in the transaction that its fair value is represented by another value.

Fair value is understood as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The best evidence of the fair value is the quoted price in an active market, which is an organised, transparent and deep market.

To estimate the fair value of specific financial assets with no market price, valuation techniques are used that must have the following characteristics:

They shall be the most consistent and suitable techniques and they shall incorporate observable market data, such as: recent transactions of other instruments that are substantially the same; discounted cash flows and market models for valuing options.
They shall be techniques that provide the most realistic estimate on the price of the instrument, and preferably, they shall be those which, usually, use participants in the market when valuing the instrument.
They shall maximise the use of observable market data, limiting the use of unobservable data as much as possible. The measurement method shall be applied over time so long as the reasons for choosing it do not change. In any event, the entity must regularly assess the valuation technique and examine its validity by using observable prices from recent transactions and from current market data.
Consideration will be made of factors such as the temporary value of money, credit risk, the exchange rate, equity instrument prices, volatility, liquidity, the risk of early repayment and administration costs, among others.

Financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or the issue of the financial asset. For financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs will be recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Group classifies financial assets, for measurement purposes, into the following categories:

a) Financial assets at amortised cost.
b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
c) Financial assets required at fair value through profit or loss:
- Financial assets held for trading.
- Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss.
d) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss.
e) Derivatives hedge accounting.
f) Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliated businesses.

This decision will be taken on the basis of:

1. the Group's business model for managing the financial assets, and
1. the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

1. Business model:

A business model refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. It is determined based on the principles and structures followed by senior management, in addition to how these are reflected in the day-to-day management of individual portfolios. An assessment is performed at portfolio and not individual level, and consideration is given as to how management manages portfolios (collection of cash flows, sale of assets or both).

There are three different business models:

Traditional business model to collect contractual cash flows: its business purpose is to hold financial assets in order to receive related contractual cash flows.

Mixed model to both collect contractual cash flows and sell: the management objective combines collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. In this business model, the sale of assets is fundamental and not ancillary. It is a mixed model that combines the traditional and trading models.

Trading business model to obtain capital gains on the sale: its purpose is to generate income through the sale of assets to obtain capital gains (RoF). Investment decision are based on a

portfolio's fair value. Although contractual cash flows may be collected, it is incidental and not part of this model's purpose.

2.- Contractual cash flow characteristics:

Analysis of cash flows collected aims to specify whether the cash flows to be received with the financial asset analysed meet the 'solely payments of principal and interest' (SPPI test) criterion. Accordingly, 'principal' is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and 'interest' is the consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a specific period of time, and other financing or administrative costs, plus a profit margin. On initial recognition of a financial instrument, the Group assesses whether the instrument passes the SPPI test. Contractual terms with a minimal or unlikely impact on cash flows of a financial instrument do not imply failure to pass the SPPI test.

When assessing criteria for passing the SPPI test, the contractual cash flow analysis process considers all financial assets, so no exceptions have been made in the materiality analysis. When there are contractual conditions that could have an impact on passing the SPPI test, a benchmark analysis is performed to verify that the impact of these conditions on cash flows is not significant, specifically, that it is less than 5%.

This situation has only become apparent in financial assets (loans) where the term of the reference interest rate differs from the repricing term of the benchmark (e.g. a loan at a Euribor 12-month interest rate that reprices every 6 months). In these situations, the contractual flows of the financial asset have been analysed, and they have been compared with those of a similar instrument in which the benchmark term matches its repricing term, to verify that the cumulative difference between the two is no more than 5%. The aggregate amount of the financial assets affected is not material.

The following two conditions have to be met for a financial asset to be classified in the financial assets at amortised cost portfolio, for valuation purposes:

a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (Traditional business model) and,
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss allowance. The effective interest rate method is used in the calculation of the amortised cost of a financial asset and in the allocation and recognition of the interest revenue or interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, without considering expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts that are an integral part of the return or effective cost of the instrument.

A financial asset must be classified in the portfolio of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income if the following conditions are met:

a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets ('Mixed' Business Model), and
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset must be classified in the portfolio of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss provided that, due to the business model chosen for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics, it cannot be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In this portfolio, regular purchases and sales are recorded using the settlement date.

In addition, the portfolio of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss must necessarily include in the trading portfolio all assets that meet the following conditions:

a) They are originated or acquired for the purpose of realising them in the short term.
b) They are part of a group of identified financial instruments that are managed together for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking.
c) They are derivative instruments that do not meet the definition of financial guarantee contracts and have not been designated as hedging instruments.

Nonetheless, the Group may make an irrevocable election on initial recognition to include specific investments in equity instruments in the portfolio of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income that otherwise would be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group may also irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if by doing so it eliminates or significantly reduces a recognition inconsistency (also referred to as an "accounting mismatch") that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising gains and losses on them on different bases.

As previously indicated, after initial recognition, the Group will measure financial assets at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, at fair value through profit or loss, or at cost, depending on their classification.

Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are measured at cost less any cumulative impairment losses estimated.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified for measurement purposes into one of the following categories:

a) Financial liabilities held for trading.
b) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.
c) Financial liabilities at amortised cost.
d) Derivatives-hedge accounting, which includes financial derivatives acquired or issued by the Bank that qualify for hedge accounting.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost are measured in the same way as financial assets at amortised cost. By default, the Group shall classify financial liabilities in the portfolio of financial liabilities at amortised cost, except under any of the circumstances for classifying them under another portfolio, as described below

The portfolio of financial liabilities held for trading shall include all financial liabilities having any of the following characteristics:

a) They are issued with an intention to repurchase them in the near term.
b) They are short positions on securities.
c) They are part of portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking.
d) They are derivative instruments that do not meet the definition of financial guarantee contracts and have not been designated as hedging instruments.

The mere fact that a financial liability is used to finance trading activities does not mean that it will be included under this category.

The portfolio of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss will include financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions:

a) They have been irrevocably designated as measured at fair value at initial recognition. A financial liability can only be designated irrevocably if:
- it is hybrid financial instrument and meets certain conditions.
- if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; or
- when doing so results in more relevant information, because a group of financial liabilities, or financial assets and liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management

or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided on that basis to the entity's key management personnel.

b) They were designated at, or subsequent to, initial recognition by the end as a hedged item to manage credit risk by using a credit derivative that is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial recognition, the entity shall measure a financial liability at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss.

Equity instruments

A financial instrument is an equity instrument if, and only if, the two conditions a) and b) below are met:

a) The instrument does not include a contractual obligation:
- (i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or
- (ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the issuing entity.
b) If the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer's own equity instruments, and is:
- (i) a non-derivative instrument that carries no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or
- (ii) a derivative instrument that will only be settled through the exchange by the issuer of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.

A contractual obligation, including any that arises from a derivative financial instrument that gives rise or may give rise to future receipt or delivery of the issuer's own equity instruments, shall not be considered an equity instrument if it does not meet conditions (a) and (b) above.

h) Recognition of income and expenses

Interest income, interest expenses and similar items are generally recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. The calculation includes all fees, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts that are an integral part of the return or effective cost of the instrument.

Dividends received from other entities are recorded as income where the entity's right to receive payment is declared.

Fees and commissions paid or received for financial services, however denoted contractually, are classified in the following categories, which shall determine their recognition in the income statement:

I. Credit fees and commissions, which are an integral part of the effective cost or yield of a financial transaction and are recognised in the income statement over the expected life of the transaction as an adjustment to its cost or effective yield. These include asset product arrangement and analysis fees and commissions, overdrawn credit fees and overdraft fees and commissions on liability accounts.
II. Non-credit fees, which are those derived from the provision of financial services other than financing transactions and can arise in services rendered over a period of time and in services rendered in a single act.

Income and expenses are generally recognised in the consolidated income statement in accordance with the following criteria:

I. Those related to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recorded upon settlement.
II. Those related to transactions or services performed over a period of time are recognised over the period of related transactions or services.
III. Those related to a transaction or service provided in a single act are recognised when the single act is carried out.

Non-financial income and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis. Receipts and payments deferred over periods greater than one year are recognised at the present value of the discounted cash flows at market rates.

Tax charges and obligations are recognised when the event that triggers payment takes place.

i) Impairment of financial assets

Debt instruments and off-balance-sheet exposures

Impairment losses for the period on debt instruments are recognised as an expense in the income statement. Impairment losses on debt instruments at amortised cost are recognised through an allowance account that reduces the carrying amount of the asset, while those on debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in "Accumulated other comprehensive income".

Subsequent reversals of previously recognised impairment losses are recognised as income in the income statement for the period.

Expected credit losses relate to the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the entity in accordance with the financial asset contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive discounted at the original effective interest rate, or a reasonable approximation thereof, or the credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets.

Future estimated cash flows from a debt instrument consist of all principal and interest amounts that the Group estimates it will obtain over the life of the instrument. This estimate takes into consideration all relevant information available at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements that provides updated and reliable information regarding the possible future collection of the contractual cash flows. Also, in estimating the future cash flows of instruments supported by collateral, the flows that would be obtained from foreclosure on the collateral less the costs of obtaining and selling the collateral, irrespective of whether enforcement of the collateral is probable.

Credit exposures are classified, in accordance with their credit risk, into one of the following categories:

1) Performing exposures (Stage 1)
2) Underperforming exposures (Stage 2)
3) Non-performing exposures (Stage 3)
4) Write-offs

At initial recognition, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, such as those purchased at a large discount that reflects credit losses, are classified as non-performing exposures. The expected credit loss on the purchase or origination of these assets will not be included in the loss allowance or the gross carrying amount at initial recognition. Irrespective of how they are subsequently categorised, when the entity purchases or originates a creditimpaired financial asset, it recognises the cumulative changes in credit losses from initial recognition as a loss allowance and interest income on these assets by applying the creditadjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset.

Expected credit losses are determined and assigned individually to each instrument. Models that provide estimates of the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD) are used, depending on the specific situation of each of the exposures and their obligors, which enables a collective estimate of expected losses to be made available on a daily basis. However, in Stages 2 and 3, an individualized evaluation of the instruments considered significant is carried out on a systematic basis. Conversely, in the case of Stage 1 and also for non-significant exposures in Stages 2 and 3, the use of expert analysis may exceptionally be triggered when certain results provided by the models are deemed inadequate in the monitoring of the collective estimation.

Further information on this point is provided in Note 44, Risk Policies and Management.

Equity instruments: Joint ventures and associates

The Group recognises impairment losses on investments in joint ventures and associates whenever there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of the investment is not recoverable. The amount of impairment losses will be the difference between the carrying amount of the instrument and its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

For these purposes, the entity will estimate the value in use of an investment as:

a) the present value of its share of the cash flows expected to be generated by the investee, which will include both those from ordinary activities and from the gains or losses on its sale or disposal, or
b) the present value of the cash flows expected to be received by the investee in the form of dividends and those relating to the sale or disposal of the investment.

Impairment losses are recognised immediately as an expense in profit or loss for the period in which they occur. Subsequent reversals of previously recognised impairment losses are recognised immediately as income in consolidated profit or loss.

There is objective evidence that equity instruments are impaired when an event (or the combined effect of several events) occurs after their initial recognition that indicates that their carrying amount is no longer recoverable. The bank will use all the information available on the performance and operations of its investee in order to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

j) Financial derivatives

The Group uses financial derivatives traded on organised markets or bilaterally with organised off-market counterparties (OTC) both in its own transactions and in transactions with the customer wholesale or retail segments.

The Group enters into derivatives to arrange hedges, actively manage other financial assets and liabilities, or benefit from changes in their prices. Financial derivatives which cannot be classified as hedges are classified as trading derivatives.

Derivatives with an active market are measured based on the quoted price in that market. If, for exceptional reasons, their quoted price cannot be established on a given date, similar methods to those used to measure financial derivatives not traded in organised markets are used.

Derivatives without a market, or for which a market with little activity exists, are valued following the most consistent and adequate financial methods, maximising the use of observable data and taking into consideration any factor that a market participant would evaluate, such as: a) recent transactions of other instruments that are substantially the same; b) discounted cash flows; and c) market models for valuing options. The techniques applied are those used by the market participants which provide the most realistic estimate of the price of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial derivatives are recognised at their fair value. The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price. If an entity determines that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, it shall account for that instrument at that date as follows:

a) If that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, the entity recognises the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price as a gain or loss.
b) In all other cases, the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price is deferred, recognising that deferred difference as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability.

Bankinter does not carry out relevant transactions with derivative instruments whose fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price.

The Group has elected to maintain the hedge accounting of the previous accounting standards under International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), until the new standard on the hedging framework is issued.

A derivative may be designated as a hedging instrument only if it meets the following criteria:

i. It can be designated in its entirety as a hedging instrument, even when only for a proportion of its entire, except for options, in which case the change in its intrinsic value may be designated as a hedging instrument excluding the change in its time value or the value of forward contracts, which may be designated as such for the difference between the spot prices and forward prices of the underlying asset.
ii. It is designated as a hedge for the entirety of its remaining term.
iii. For a hedge of more than one risk, provided the different risks hedged can be clearly identified, and each part of the instrument can be designated as a hedge of specific hedged items and the effectiveness of the different hedges can be demonstrated.

The effectiveness of the hedge of derivatives defined as hedges is duly documented through effectiveness testing, which is the tool that tests that the differences arising from fluctuations in market prices between the hedged item and its hedge remain within reasonable parameters throughout the life of the transactions, thereby fulfilling the predictions established at the time they were entered into.

If this is not the case at any time, the related transactions in the hedge group would be considered trading transactions and reclassified as such in the balance sheet.

The Group enters into fair value and cash flow hedges:

Micro hedges or individual hedges (for which there is a specific identification of hedged instruments and hedging instruments) cover the exposure to changes in the fair value or the cash flows relating to the hedged item. In the case of fair value hedges, the gain or loss arising on measurement of both the hedging instruments and the hedged items is recognised immediately in profit or loss. For cash flow hedges, the (effective) portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument will be recognised temporarily in an item of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in consolidated equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Portfolio hedges of interest-rate risk (also known as "macro-hedges") are those in which the interest-rate risk exposure of a certain amount of financial assets or financial liabilities that make up a set of financial instruments in the portfolio is hedged; however, specific instruments are not hedged. For fair value portfolio hedges of interest rate risk that are highly effective, the gain or loss arising from measuring hedging instruments is recognised immediately in profit or loss. For the hedged amount, the gain or loss arising on measurement is recognised directly in the income statement using as a balancing entry in "Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedge of interest rate risk" on the asset or liability side if the hedged amount relates to financial assets or financial liabilities. For cash flow portfolio hedges of interest rate risk, the effective portion of the change in value of the hedging instrument is recognised temporarily in equity under "Accumulated other comprehensive income" until the forecast transactions occur, when it is recognised in profit or loss. The ineffective portion is recognised directly in profit or loss.

k) Transfers and derecognition of financial instruments

Transfers of financial instruments are accounted for taking into account the way in which the transfer of the risks and rewards associated with the financial instruments transferred occurs, based on the following criteria:

i. If the risks and rewards are substantially transferred to third parties, such as in the case of unconditional sales, sales with a repurchase agreement at its fair value at the repurchase date, sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is deeply out of the money, securitisations of assets in which the transferor does not retain a subordinated debt or grants any credit enhancement to the new holders, etc., the financial instrument transferred is derecognised, and any rights or obligations retained or created as a result of the transfer are simultaneously recognised.
ii. If the risks and rewards associated with the financial instrument transferred are substantially retained, such as in the case of sales of financial assets with an agreement to repurchase at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, a securities lending agreement in which the borrower undertakes to return the same or similar assets, etc., the financial instrument transferred is not removed from the balance sheet and

continues to be measured using the same criteria as before the transfer. However, the related financial liability is recognised for an amount equal to the consideration received, which is subsequently measured at amortised cost. The income from the financial asset transferred but not derecognised and the expenses incurred on the new financial liability are recognised directly in profit or loss.

iii. If the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial instrument, such as in the case of sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is not deeply in or out of the money, securitisations in which the transferor assumes a subordinated debt or another type of credit enhancement for a portion of transferred asset, etc., a distinction is made between:
- If the Group does not retain control of the transferred financial instrument, in which case it is derecognised and any right or obligation retained or created in the transfer is recognised.
- If the Group retains control of the transferred financial instrument, it continues to recognise it for an amount equal to its exposure to changes in value and recognises a financial liability related to the transferred financial asset.

The net amount of the transferred asset and of the related liability will be the amortised cost of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at amortised cost, or the fair value of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

Therefore, financial assets are only removed from the consolidated balance sheet when the cash flows that are generated have been extinguished or when THE risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred to a third party. Similarly, financial liabilities are only removed from balance sheet when the obligations they generate have been extinguished or when they are acquired for the purpose of cancelling or reselling them.

When the transferred financial asset is completely eliminated from the balance sheet, the income statement will recognise the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of: a) the payment received, including any new asset obtained less any liability assumed, and b) any accumulated profit or loss recognised directly as 'Other cumulative comprehensive income' within equity attributable to the transferred financial asset.

l) Tangible assets

As a general rule, tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated systematically on a straight-line basis or using the sum-of-the-years' digits method, applying the years of estimated useful life of the various items to the cost of the

assets less their residual value. The land on which the buildings and other constructions are located is understood as having an indefinite life and, therefore, not depreciated. The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is recognised in consolidated profit or loss calculated based on the estimated useful life of the related asset, which coincides with the legal minimums:

	Depreciation method
Properties	Straight line over 50 years
Fixtures and fittings and other	Straight line between 6 and 12 years
Computer equipment	Straight line up to 4 years

The Group reviews the depreciation period and method for each of its tangible assets at least at the end of the reporting period.

The costs of conservation and maintenance of property, plant and equipment that do not improve their use or lengthen the asset's useful life are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred.

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any internal or external indication that the net value of its tangible assets exceeds their recoverable amount. If so, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable amount and adjusts the future depreciation charges in proportion to the adjusted carrying amount and the new remaining useful life, where it must be re-estimated. When there are indications of a recovery in the value of an asset, the Group recognises the reversal of the impairment loss recognised in previous periods and adjusts the future depreciation charges. The reversal of the impairment loss on an asset may not raise its carrying amount above that which it would have if no impairment losses had been recognised in prior years.

"Investment property" in the consolidated balance sheet includes the net value of land, buildings and other constructions that are owned or held under lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. There are no restrictions on realising investment property in the market.

The criteria applied for recognising the cost of acquiring investment property, its depreciation, the estimation of useful lives and the recognition of potential impairment losses are the same as those described above.

m) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical appearance that arise as a result of a legal business or have been developed internally by the consolidated entities. The Group only recognises those intangible assets whose cost can be estimated in a reasonably objective manner, those that are separable, and those for which it is probable that the expected future benefits will flow to the consolidated entities.

Intangible assets are recognised initially at cost of acquisition or production and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any subsequent impairment losses.

Goodwill

Differences between the cost of investments in the equity of consolidated entities and companies accounted for using the equity method and other types of business combinations and the acquisition-date fair values of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted by the percentage interest acquired in those net assets and liabilities in the event of a purchase of shareholdings, are recognised as follows:

1. Allocating them to specific assets and liabilities of the companies or businesses acquired, by increasing the value of the assets or reducing the value of the liabilities.
1. Allocating them to specific intangible assets by recognising it explicitly in the consolidated balance sheet.
1. Recognising any excess of the acquisition price over this fair value as goodwill in "Intangible assets - Goodwill' on the asset side of the consolidated balance sheet. In acquisitions of investments in associates or joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, any goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as forming part of the value of the investment and not individually under "Intangible assets - Goodwill".
1. Negative differences between the acquisition cost less the aforementioned fair value are recognised once the measurement process has been reviewed as income in the consolidated income statement under "Negative goodwill recognised in profit or loss".

Positive goodwill (excess between the acquisition price of an investee or business and the fair value of the net assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired from that company or business) - which is only recognised in the consolidated balance sheet when they have been acquired for consideration - therefore represent prepayments made by the acquirer of the future economic benefits arising from the assets of the entity or business acquired that are not individually and separately identifiable and recognisable.

Impairment losses on goodwill recognised in "Intangible assets - Goodwill" cannot be subsequently reversed.

According to IFRS 3, goodwill should not be amortised and instead the acquirer should test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at acquisition or production cost net of any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

Intangible assets may have an indefinite useful life when, based on an analysis of all relevant factors, there is not foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the consolidated entities- or a finite useful life in all other cases.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised, although at each reporting date the consolidated entities review the assets' respective remaining useful lives in order to ensure that they are still indefinite and, if that is not the case, take appropriate action. At 31 December 2021 and 2020, there were no intangible assets with an indefinite useful life other than goodwill.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortised on a straight-line basis over their life. The annual amortisation of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognised under "Depreciation" in the consolidated income statement. The useful life of software recorded as an intangible asset is estimated based primarily on expected usage, typical product life cycles and obsolescence, industry stability, maintenance costs, historical experience and market peers. Accordingly, the entity's accounting policies classify activated software into three categories: architecture and structural software (with useful lives between 10 and 15 years), software developed in banking applications (with useful lives between 10 and 15 years) and digital software (with useful lives between 3 and 5 years).

The consolidated entities recognise any impairment loss on intangible assets with an indefinite and finite useful life using as a balancing entry "Impairment losses on other assets (net) - Goodwill and other intangible assets" in the consolidated income statement. The assessment of impairment is carried out at each reporting date by estimating recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the net cost recognised, the related impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The criteria for the recognition of impairment losses on these assets and, where applicable, of the recoveries of the impairment losses recorded in prior periods are similar to those applied tangible assets for own use.

n) Leases

Lease contracts are presented on the basis of the economic substance of the transaction regardless of its legal form:

i. A lease is classified as a finance lease when it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset that is the subject of the lease.

When the Group is lessor, the sum the present values of the payments receivable from the lessee during the term of the lease plus any guaranteed residual value, normally the exercise price of the purchase option by the lessee on expiry of the least, is recognised as finance granted to third parties, so it is included under "Loans and receivables" in the balance sheet in accordance with the nature of the lessee.

When the Group is the lessee, it recognises the cost of the leased asset in the balance sheet based on the nature of the asset that is the subject of the lease and, simultaneously, a liability for the same amount, which is the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the sum of the present value of the lease payments accruing to the lessor plus, where appropriate, the exercise price of the purchase option. These assets are depreciated using the same criteria as those applied to all tangible assets for own use.

ii. Lease contracts that are not considered finance leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Group acts is lessee, it recognises the cost for acquiring the leased assets under "Tangible assets". These assets are depreciated according to the policies adopted for similar tangible assets for own use and the income from the lease contracts is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis.

iii. Leases where the entity is lessee are treated as follows:

No distinction is made between operating and finance leases. All leases (with certain exceptions) must be recognised as right-of-use assets in the lessee's balance sheet with a lease liability measured at the present value of the expected lease payments over the term that it is reasonably certain that the lease will be in force. The discount rate is the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if it cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The entity calculates this incremental borrowing rate based on the quoted debt instruments issued by the Group.

The leased asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the end of the lease, while the lease liability shall be treated similarly to a financial liability, i.e. increasing the carrying amount to reflect the interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made, and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Lessees are not required to apply the standard to leases of intangible assets, short-term leases (i.e. with a lease term of 12 months or less), and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (less than 5,000 euros) and can recognise them as an expense.

In determining the lease term, management considers all the relevant facts and circumstances the create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise an option to extend and not an option to terminate the lease. Options to extend (or periods beyond options to terminate) are only included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the lease will be extended (or not terminated).

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there are indications of impairment of right-of-use assets using the same criteria as for tangible assets.

o) Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale

Non-current assets held for sale are assets whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale, provided that they are available for immediate sale and this is highly probable.

Foreclosed assets or assets received in payment of debt are assets that the Group receives from its borrowers or other debtors as payment, in full or in part, of financial assets representing receivables from them, and that are classified as "Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale".

Non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of their fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount and they are not depreciated.

The estimation of the fair value of real estate assets foreclosed or received in payment of debt at the time of the foreclosure or receipt must use, as a reference value, the market value granted by means of a complete individual appraisal. Subsequent to the foreclosure or receipt, the reference value used to estimate the fair value should be updated, at least annually. Automated valuation methods may be combined with complete individual appraisals, with the latter carried out at least every three years.

In the process of estimating the fair value of the asset foreclosed or received in payment of debt, an assessment is carried out as to whether it is necessary to apply to the reference value a discount derived from the specific conditions of the assets, such as their location or state of conservations, or the markets for these assets, such as declines in the volume or level of activity. In this assessment, the Group will take into account its sales experience and the average time that similar assets remain on balance sheet.

The Group has its own methods to estimate the discounts applicable to the reference value and the costs to sell of the assets foreclosed or received in payment of debt, taking into account its experience of sales of similar assets, in terms of time scales, prices and volumes, and trends in the time the asset has remained on its balance sheet. These methods are developed within the framework of internal models for collective estimation risk allowances. Nonetheless, losses on foreclosed assets are calculated on an individual basis where assets that remain on the balance for longer than period than initially expected for their sale.

Impairment losses on non-current assets held for sale are recognised in "Profit or loss from noncurrent assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale not qualifying as discontinued operations" in the consolidated income statement. Recoveries in value are recognised in the consolidated income statement up to an amount equal to the previously recognised impairment losses.

Classification of an operation as discontinued requires changes in the accounting policies applied to the operation and in its presentation in the balance sheet and income statement:

Assets that comprise the discontinued operation are presented separately in the balance sheet under "Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale" and the liabilities are presented under "Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale". The amounts of these items recognised in "Other comprehensive income" in equity are classified under "Noncurrent assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale". The presentation criteria shall not be applied retrospectively in the comparative balance sheet included in the annual financial statements.
The income and expenses, regardless of their nature, arising from the discontinued operation in the reporting period, even if it arises before this classification, are presented, net of tax, in the income statement as a single amount in "Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations", along with the gains or losses on the disposal.
In the income statement included in the financial statements for purposes of comparison, the net amount of all income and expenses of the discontinued operation for the prior period is included in "Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations".
The entity shall not depreciate (or amortise) assets from discontinued operations while they are classified in this category.

p) Offsetting

Assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses, are not offset unless required or allowed by an IFRS. Examples of income and expenses whose offset is required or permitted include:

a. Gains and losses on the sale or disposal of non-current assets, including investments and operating assets, are presented by deducting the carrying amount of the asset and the related costs relevant selling expenses from the amount received from the disposal.;
b. Payments relating to the provisions recognised in accordance with IAS 37 that have been repaid under a contractual agreement with a third party (e.g.,a guarantee from a supplier) may be offset against the relevant repayment.
c. Gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions are presented net (e.g., exchange gains or losses or those arising from financial instruments held for trading). However, these gains and losses are presented separately if they are material.

q) Securities loaned or pledged

Securities lending involves transactions in which the borrower receives full title to securities without making any payment, except fees and commissions, with the commitment to return other securities of the same class as those received to the lender.

Security lending in which the borrower has the obligation to return the same assets or substantially the same assets or other similar ones having the same fair value are considered transactions in which the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the asset are substantially retained by the lender.

r) Financial guarantees

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument, irrespective of the legal form it may have, such as a guarantee, a letter of credit, an insurance contract or credit derivative.

The Group recognises financial guarantee contracts in "Other financial liabilities" at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issue. At inception, and unless there is evidence to the contrary, the fair value of financial guarantee contracts issued to an unrelated third party in a stand-alone arm's length transaction will be the premium received plus, where appropriate, present value of the cash flows to be received, using an interest rate similar to that of the financial assets granted by the entity with a similar term and risk. Simultaneously, a credit is recognised in assets for the present value of the future cash flows receivable using the aforementioned interest rate.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the contracts are treated as follows:

a. The value of the fees or premiums receivable for financial guarantees will be discounted, with the differences recognised in the income statement as interest income.
b. The value of financial guarantee contracts not classified as non-performing will be the amount initially recognised in liabilities less the portion recognised in profit or loss, allocated on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the guarantee, or by another method, provided that it more adequately reflects the economic risks and rewards of the guarantee.

Financial guarantees are classified based on the risk of insolvency attributable to the customer or the transaction and, where appropriate, the need to recognise provisions by applying the same criteria as in section (i) of this Note for debt instruments measured at amortised cost.

Where a provision must be recognised for the financial guarantee contract, the fees and commissions pending accrual are reclassified to the relevant provision.

s) Staff expenses

Post-employment benefits

The Group's post-employment obligations with its employees are considered to be "Defined contribution plans", where the Group makes pre-determined contributions to a separate entity with no legal or effective obligation to make further contributions if the separate entity cannot pay the employee benefits with relating to the services rendered in the current and prior periods. Post-employment obligations that do not meet the above conditions are considered "Defined benefit plans". The characteristics of those obligations are described in Note 27.

Defined contribution plans

contribution accrued in the period in this connection is recognised under "Staff expenses" in the consolidated income statement.

Any amounts not yet contributed at 31 December to the external plan covering those obligations are recognised at their present value under "Provisions - Pension and similar obligations". At 31 December 2021 and 2020, there was no outstanding amount to be paid into external defined contribution plans.

Defined benefit plans

The Group recognises the present value of defined benefit post-employment benefits under "Provisions for pensions and other post-employment defined benefit obligations", net, and is explained below, of the fair value of assets that meet the requirements for consideration as "Plan assets".

'Plan assets' are considered to be those associated with a certain defined-benefit commitment under which the obligations will be directly satisfied and the following conditions are met: They are not owned by the Group but rather by a separate legal entity that is not a related party, they are only available to pay or finance employee post-employment compensation and cannot return to the consolidated entities unless the assets remaining in that plan are sufficient to comply with all of the obligations falling to the plan or the entities relating to the benefits for current or past employees or to reimburse employee benefits already paid by the Group.

If the Group can look to an insurer to pay part or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation, and it is practically certain that said insurer will reimburse some or all of the expenditure required to settle that obligation, but the insurance policy does not qualify as a plan asset, the Group recognises its right to reimbursement -which, in all other respects, is treated as a plan asset- in "Insurance contracts linked to pensions" on the asset side of the consolidated balance sheet.

Post-employment benefits are recognised as follows:

The income statement includes the following components of post-employment benefits:
- The cost of services in the current period (understood to be an increase in the present value of the obligations arising as a result of the services rendered during the year by employees) is recognised under 'Staff expenses'.
- The cost of past services, which originate from modifications made to already existing post-employment compensation or the introduction of new benefits and including the cost of reductions, is recognised under 'Appropriations to provisions (net)'.
Any gain or loss that arises from a settlement of the plan is recognised under 'Appropriations to provisions (net)'.
Net interest on the net defined benefit commitment liability (asset) (understood to be the change during the year in the net defined benefit liability (asset) that arises due to the passage of time) is recognised in Interest expense and similar charges (interest and similar income in the case of income) in the income statement.
The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognised in "Valuation adjustments" and includes:
- The actuarial gains and losses arising the period, arising from the differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and what as actually occurred and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions.
- The return on plan assets, excluding the amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset).
- Any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset).

Other long-term employee benefits

Early retirements

The Group guarantees certain obligations with employees taking early retirement -with respect to both salaries and other employee benefits- from the time of early retirement until the date of their effective retirement.

Early retirement obligation up until the date of effective retirement are treated for accounting purposes, where applicable, using the same criteria as explained above for defined-benefit postemployment benefits, except for actuarial gains and/or losses, which are recognised immediately when they arise with a balancing entry in the consolidated income statement.

Death and disability of current employees

The obligations assumed by the Group regarding death and disability of employees while they are actively employed, covered by a co-insurance policy arranged with Axa and Caser, are recognised in the income statement at an amount equal to the premiums accrued on that insurance policy each period.

Share-based payments

Certain groups of Group employees receive remuneration in the form of shares; i.e. own equity instruments in exchange for services rendered.

In accordance with the accounting regulations, the services received under this remuneration scheme are recognised in the income statement, with a balancing entry in equity.

t) Provisions and contingencies

The Group recognises provisions at the amount estimated to settle present obligations arising from past events whose nature at the reporting date is clearly specified but whose amount or settlement date is uncertain and the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. These obligations may arise from:

A legal or contractual requirement.
An implicit or tacit obligation arising from valid expectations created by the Group in third parties regarding the assumption of certain types of responsibilities. Such expectations are created when the entity publicly accepts responsibilities, or derive from past practice or from publicly known business policies.
Virtual certainty as to the future course of regulation in particular respects, especially proposed new legislation that the Group cannot avoid.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations of the Group that arise from past events and whose existence is conditional on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events beyond the control of the Group. They include the present obligations of the Group when it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle them or when, in extremely rare cases, their amount cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

Contingent obligations are considered probable when the event is more likely than not to occur, possible when it is more likely than not that they will not occur, and remote when it is extremely rare that they occur.

The Group's consolidated financial statements include all the material provisions with respect to which it is considered that it is more likely than not the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements, but rather are disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is considered to be remote.

Provisions are quantified taking into consideration the best information available regarding the consequences of the events giving rise to them and estimated at each reporting date, taking into the financial effect, where significant. They are used to cover the specific obligations for which they were recognised, and are fully or partially reversed when such obligations cease to exist or are reduced.

At the ends of the reporting periods covered in these financial statements, various court proceedings and claims against the Group were in progress stemming from the ordinary course of business. Both the Group's legal advisers and the Company's Directors understand that the conclusion of these proceedings and claims will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements beyond the amounts included as a provision where applicable.

u) Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations

Income tax is considered to be an expense and is recognised under "Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations" in the consolidated income statement, except where it arises from a transaction recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised directly in equity, or a business combination, in which case the deferred tax is recognised as an additional item of equity.

The expense recognised under "Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations" is determined by the tax payable on the taxable profit of a period after taking account of any changes in that period due to temporary differences, tax credits for tax deductions and benefits, and tax losses. The tax base for the period may differ from profit or loss for the period presented in the consolidated income statement since it excludes taxable or deductible income or expenses from other periods and items that are never taxable or deductible.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities include temporary differences, which are identified as the amounts expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their related tax bases. They are recognised using the liability method in the consolidated balance sheet and are measured by applying to the relevant temporary difference or credit the tax rate at which they are expected to be realised or settled.

A deferred tax asset, such as prepaid tax, a tax credit for tax deductions and benefits and a tax credit for tax losses, is recognised whenever it is probable that the Group will obtain sufficient future taxable profit against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised. It is considered probable that the Group will obtain sufficient taxable profit in the future in the following cases, among others:

i. There are deferred tax liabilities that can be settled in the same period that the deferred tax asset is realised, or in a subsequent period in which the existing tax loss or that resulting from the amount carried forward can be offset.
ii. The tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a deferred tax asset that arises in accounting for investments in associates or joint ventures is only recognised if it is probable that it will be realised in the foreseeable future and it is expected that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Furthermore, a deferred tax asset is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than a business combination that at the time of recognition affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities must also be recognised, except when goodwill is recognised or it arises in the accounting of investments in joint ventures or subsidiaries where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and, in addition, it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not be recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than a business combination that at the time of recognition affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reviewed at each reporting date in order to verify that they remain in force and any necessary corrections are made.

The Group only recognises deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, tax credits for tax deductions or benefits, or the carry forward of tax losses, if the following conditions are met:

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is considered probable that the consolidated entities will have sufficient future taxable profits against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised; or they are guaranteed in accordance with legislation, and
In the case of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses, the tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur.

At each reporting date, the deferred tax recognised (assets and liabilities) are reviewed in order to verify that they remain in force and any necessary adjustments are made, in accordance with the results of analyses performed.

v) Off-balance sheet customer funds

Customer funds held in custody or marketed by the Group are not included in the balance sheet as the equity belongs to third parties outside the group. Similarly, assets managed by the Bank are owned by its customers and therefore are also not recognised in the balance sheet. The nature and volume of these activities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The fees and commissions generated by this business are included in "Fee and commission income" and "Fee and commission expenses" in the income statement.

w) Assets and liabilities under insurance contracts

In accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the insurance industry, insurance companies recognise the amounts of the premiums written as income and take the cost of claims to profit or loss when the contract when they are definitively settled. These accounting practices require insurance companies to accrue at the end of each reporting period both the amounts paid for the premiums written but not accrued at that date and the foreseeable costs of claims occurred that have yet to be taken to profit or loss.

Based on the characteristics of the insurance contracts written by the insurance companies over which the Group exercises control, the provisions are as follows:

• Provisions for unearned premiums

Provisions for unexpired risks
Provisions for benefits
Other technical provisions

These provisions are recognised in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under "Liabilities under insurance contracts" to cover claims arising from those insurance policies.

"Assets under insurance contracts" includes the amounts that the entities are entitled to receive as a result of the reinsurance agreements maintained with third parties. They are calculated based on the written reinsurance contracts and by applying the same criteria used for direct insurance.

The profit or loss obtained by Group insurance companies from their insurance business is recognised under "Income from assets under insurance and reinsurance contracts" and "Expenses from liabilities under insurance and reinsurance contracts" in the consolidated income statement.

With regard to insurance contracts managed by the Group, no liabilities are recognised for provisions for possible future claims if these claims arise under insurance contracts that are not in existence at the date of the financial statements (such as catastrophe and equalisation provisions).

The Group carries out a liability adequacy test on recognised liabilities arising from insurance contracts, using the most recent estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If the assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities (less related deferred acquisition costs and related intangible assets) is inadequate in the light of the estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

The Group will also remove an insurance liability (or part of an insurance liability) from its balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished – i.e., when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, or cancelled or expires, and will not offset:

i. reinsurance assetsagainst the related insurance liabilities; or
ii. income or expense from reinsurance contracts against the expense or income, respectively, from the related insurance contracts.

The Group assesses, at least annually, whether its reinsurance assets are impaired.

At year-end, there were no assets of this nature. At the end of the previous years, those it had were classified as non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale.

x) Business combination

The acquisition method is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether or not equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary includes:

the fair values of the assets transferred
liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquiree
equity interests issued by the Group
the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the subsidiary

The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination, with limited exceptions, are initially measured at their acquisition-date fair.

The acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses when incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree prior interest in the acquired company over the fair value of the net identifiable net acquired is recognised as goodwill. If these amounts are lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

When the settlement of any portion of the consideration in cash is deferred, the future amounts payable are discounted at the present value on the exchange date. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate of interest, which is the rate at which the borrower could obtain a similar loan from an independent finance company under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified as an asset or liability, or a financial liability. The amounts classified as financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured at fair value, recognising the changes in fair value in profit or loss.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognise the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss.

Bankinter, S.A. performs and documents the assessment to verify that, at inception of the hedge and during its life, it can expect, prospectively, that the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk are nearly completely offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument and, retrospectively, that the actual results of the hedge are within a range of 80% to 125% of the results of the hedged item. Bankinter Group's hedges are highly effective.

The interbank offered rate (IBOR) reform (Note 44) did not, and is not expected to, have any material impact on the hedges entered into the Bank.

The appraisals used by the Group are primarily performed by Eurovaloraciones, Sociedad de Tasación, Técnicos en Tasación S.A. and Gesvalt Sociedad de Tasación. Virtually all of these appraisals are performed in accordance with Ministerial Order ECO 805/2003 and applicable legislation. The customarily used technical methods of measurement are: the cost method, the comparison method, the discounted income method and the residual method. The main assumptions of these models are:

The equalisation ratio of the price per square meter in the case of appraisals carried out using the comparison method.
The equalisation ratio of annual estimated income and the discount applied for appraisals carried out using the discounted income method.
The construction term and discount rate for appraisals carried out using the residual method.

Bankinter Group uses its subsidiary Intermobiliaria, S.A. to manage the assets arising from problematic risks (e.g. foreclosures, transfers in lieu of payment). The company was created on 16 February 1976 and has its registered office at Paseo de la Castellana, 29, Madrid. The Group's general policy is for all assets originating from problematic risks to be recognised by this subsidiary. However, occasionally there may be circumstances that make it advisable for the assets to be directly recognised by the parent company.

The acquisition of those assets by Inmobiliaria, S.A. is financed by the parent company on an arm's length basis. The resources contributed by the parent company to Intermobiliaria are summarised in the following table:

The most significant events with an impact on the Group's scope of consolidation arising during the year were as follows:

The resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting of Bankinter, S.A. on 19 March 2020 for the distribution in kind of its entire share premium (1,184 billion euros) was executed in April 2021. This involved the delivery to shareholders of securities representing 82.6% of the share capital of subsidiary Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros. The valuation of the company based of market prices at the transaction date did not differ significantly from the appraisal by independent experts.

The impact of this distribution on "Profit or loss for the period" amounted to 895,732 million euros (910,797 million euros before tax), recognised in "Profit or (-) loss after tax from discontinued operations" in the consolidated income statement. The gain on transaction arose from the difference between the consolidated carrying amount of Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A. and its fair value.

Prior to this, Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A. distributed a dividend of 120 million euros, as planned, leaving its capital adequacy ratio at a normal level for this type of insurance company. This dividend was eliminated on consolidation and therefore had no impact on consolidated profit or loss.

In May 2021, the Annual General Meeting of Bankinter Capital Riesgo, S.G.E.I.C., S.A. agreed to its dissolution and liquidation. The Bankinter Capital Riesgo I, FCR fund, which was managed by the former, was dissolved and liquidated in financial year 2020.

shareholders. Also incorporated in 2021 were Bankinter Hogar and Auto Sociedad Anónima de Seguros y Reaseguros as part of the reorganisation of Bankinter Group's insurance businesses.

At the close of the financial year, Bankinter International Notes Sàrl was in the process of being incorporated for the purpose of issue structured bonds.

The most significant changes in 2020 were as follows:

At the Annual General Meeting held on 19 March 2020, approval was given for the distribution in kind of the full share premium of 1,184 million euros through the delivery to shareholders of shares representing approximately 82.6% of the share capital of its subsidiary Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros ("Línea Directa Aseguradora").

The reasonable estimated market value of the 82.6% of Línea Directa Aseguradora to be delivered to Bankinter shareholders amounted to 1,184 million euros; i.e. 100% of the share premium to be distributed. For this purpose, based on advice received from independent experts, Línea Directa Aseguradora's entire share capital was valued at 1,434 million euros.

In accordance with IFRS 5, this decision of the Annual General Meeting resulted in the classification of Línea Directa Aseguradora as a discontinued operation. Consideration of an operation as discontinued ankinter lrequires changes in the accounting policies applied to the operation and in its presentation in the balance sheet and income statement:

Assets that comprise the discontinued operation are presented separately in the balance sheet under "Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale" and the liabilities are presented under "Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale". The amounts of these items recognised in "Other comprehensive income" in equity are classified under "Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale".

The statement of recognised income and expense for the year 2020 includes, under "other reclassifications", the amount of the transfer made between "Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income" and "Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale" due to the classification of the LDA Group as a "Discontinued operation".

The income and expenses, regardless of their nature, arising from the discontinued operation in the reporting period, even if it arises before this classification, are presented, net of tax, in the income statement as a single item in "Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations", along with the gains or losses on the disposal.
In the income statement included in the financial statements for purposes of comparison, the net amount of all income and expenses of the discontinued operation for the prior period is included in "Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations".
The entity shall not depreciate (or amortise) an asset while it is classified in this category.

Meanwhile, Consumer Finance, E.F.C., S.A. became the parent of AvantCard, D.A.C. after acquiring all the shares comprising its share capital. These shares were held previously by Evo Banco, S.A.

And, lastly, the dissolution and liquidation of the fund BANKINTER CAPITAL RIESGO I, FCR DE REGIMEN SIMPLIFICADO, after reimbursement of the units in kind in favour of its sole unitholder, Bankinter, S.A., on 27 November 2020.

Intermobiliaria, S.A. has an imbalance in its equity position. As a holding company for the Bankinter Group's entire real estate activity, Bankinter, S.A. undertakes to offset the company's losses and restore its equity within the legal deadlines through successive participating loans. The original participating loan was granted by Bankinter, S.A. on 24 June 2010, for an amount of 100,000 thousand euros. Subsequently, 200,000 thousand euros were granted on 29 December 2011 and 300,000 thousand euros on 27 December 2012. The loans granted amounted to 500,000 thousand euros at 31 December 2014, 560,000 thousand euros at 31 December 2015, and 620,000 thousand euros at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019, respectively. The amount was 650,000 thousand euros in 2020 and 680,000 thousand euros in 2021 (Note 12). These participating loans are recognised under "Non-current payables to group companies and associates" on the liabilities side of the subsidiary's balance sheet. They meet the requirements established by Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, of 7 June, on urgent fiscal measures and the promotion and liberalisation of economic activity, for consideration as equity for the purposes of company law. Through these transactions, the subsidiary has re-established a balanced position in its equity.

The acquisition during 2009 of 50% of the share capital of Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros led to the recognition of goodwill of 161,837 thousand of euros and other intangible assets of 221,926 thousand euros. In 2013, the purchase of Bankinter Luxembourg, S.A. led to the recognition of 2,445 thousand euros of goodwill.

The Bank tested the goodwill recognised on the acquisition of 100% of Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros for impairment, as provided for in accounting standards. This test included a sensitivity analysis. This analysis was based on the analysis of the impairment of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill was assigned, in this case, Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, and was performed internally, up to the point that this company was classified as a discontinued operation in March 2020. This unit was considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeded value in use, defined as the present value of the estimated cash flows. After classifying this company as a discontinued operation, this goodwill impairment test was based on the company's independent valuation (see Note 13).

The goodwill recorded at the end of 2021 arose from the acquisition of Bankinter Luxembourg, S.A. and is subject to annual impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards to determine whether its carrying amount should be written down.

As a result of the integration of Avantcard DAC in 2019, an intangible asset was recognised in the consolidation balance sheet for 36,100 thousand euros related to the measurement of the relationship with Avantcard customers, which was not recognised in this company's financial statements because it was generated organically. The amortisation period of this intangible asset was estimated at 10 years. The impact in 2021 of this amortisation on profit or loss for the year amounted to 3,610 thousand euros (2020: 3,610 thousand euros). There were no indications of impairment of these intangible assets at the reporting date.

One of the Bankinter Group's objectives for the coming years is to renew its technology platform, redesign its processes and develop digital banking, taking into account the Group's growth and its growing needs of operational and technological transformation. In line with these objectives, capitalisation of IT developments was the Bank's main source of generating new intangible assets in the year.

- Arising from the branch in Portugal	31,856	(2,113)	(157)	29,586

Charges/credits for deferred taxes recognised in the income statement (-2,687 thousand euros) include the deferred tax expense corresponding to 30% of the temporary differences for 2021 from the business in Spain (1,197 thousand euros). The remaining amount relates mainly to charges/credits recognised in the income statement for 2021 as a result of the definitive accounting of corporate income tax of the previous year (-848 thousand euros), the accounting of the deferred tax expense related to the branches in Portugal (-3,072 thousand euros) and other deferred tax charges/credits that do not necessarily relate to temporary differences.

The reconciliation of the movement of deferred taxes in 2020 is as follows:

Of the amount of deferred tax liabilities recognised at 31 December 2021, 29,586 thousand euros related to the amount recognised in 2016 for temporary difference of liabilities arising from the negative goodwill recognised in the acquisition of the business of the branch in Portugal of 40,152 thousand euros. The Group recognises this amount as income for the purpose of calculating income tax over a 20-year period, under the framework of prevailing tax legislation in Portugal.

As at 31 December 2021, the Group recognised deferred tax assets from EVO Banco, S.A. amounting to 8,035 thousand euros (3,460 thousand euros related to tax losses) as the directors considered that at that date they satisfied the requirements for the recognition of the related tax assets.

Royal Decree-Law 14/2013, of 29 November, on urgent measures to adapt Spanish law to European Union regulations regarding the supervision and solvency of financial institutions, added the twenty-second additional provision to the consolidated text of the Spanish Corporate Income Tax Law, establishing the conversion of certain deferred tax assets into loans payable to the taxation authorities. The Group estimates that approximately 96,846 thousand euros in deferred tax assets will be monetisable (2020: 115,430 thousand euros). Nevertheless, Royal Decree Law 3/2016, of 2 December, introduced certain amendments to Corporate Income Tax Law 27/2014, of 29 November. Specifically, the law sets a limit of 25% on inclusion of monetisable assets in the tax base and tax loss carryforwards.

Also, there is a new limit for applying double taxation relief: 50% of the full tax base for companies with net turnover over 20 million euros. This was also applicable in 2021.

The Group has analysed the recoverability of the deferred tax assets recognised at 31 December 2021, which supports their recoverability within a maximum of ten years.

a) Deposits from central banks

The composition of this item under "Financial liabilities at amortised cost" on the liability side of the consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

	Thousands of euros
	31.12.2021	31.12.2020
Central Banks	14,365,444	12,938,000
Valuation adjustments	(174,730)	(52,884)
Accrued interest	(174,730)	(52,884)
Micro-hedges	-	-
	14,190,714	12,885,116

Balances with Central Banks at year-end included 14,232,000 thousand euros (2020: 12,938,000 thousand euros) obtained in five operations of the third series of targeted longerterm refinancing operations (TLTRO III) of the European Central Bank (ECB) and negative interest accrued thereon of 174,730 thousand euros (2020: 52,884 thousand euros).

The TLTRO III operations started in the 2019 financial year, originally within a period of three years. As in the previous series, these operations accrue a more favourable interest rate for those institutions that meet certain thresholds of qualifying investment growth during the period from 31 March 2019 to 31 March 2021 ("original period"). Specifically, in Bankinter's case, the operations accrue interest at the ECB's deposit facility rate (-0.5% in 2021), as it was above these thresholds.

However, during the financial year 2020, the Governing Council of the ECB decided to modify some of the conditions of its TLTRO III, to better support lending to households and businesses in the face of economic shocks and heightened uncertainty against the background of the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

It decided to establish a "special interest rate" for TLTRO IIIs — provided that positive growth of the eligible investment was achieved during "special reference periods" — as well as making certain other changes. Two "special reference periods" were set: from 1 March 2020 to 31 March 2021 (special period 1) and from 1 October 2020 to 31 December 2021 (special period 2), to be eligible for the "special interest rate" for TLTRO III operations from June-2020 to June-2021 and from June-2021 to June-2022, respectively. Specifically, this "special interest rate" is set as 50 basis points below the average interest rate on the deposit facility, and may in no case be higher than -1%. At the end of 2020 and 2021, this special rate was -1%.

The bank recognises interest on these operations by applying the effective interest rate, calculated for each operation based on the following:

As at year-end 2021, the bank had exceeded the investment growth thresholds established for the original period. Therefore, TLTRO III operations will accrue at least the ECB deposit facility rate over their estimated life.
At year-end 2021, the bank had exceeded the investment growth thresholds set for special periods 1 and 2. Therefore, TLTRO III operations will accrue the "special interest rate" 50 basis points below the average deposit facility rate for the fixed part of their estimated life.
The Bank estimates that the rate of the ECB's deposit facility will be maintained over the expected life of TLTRO III's operations.
The estimated life of TLTRO III operations is the same as their original term.

In accounting for hybrid financial liabilities (structured bonds), embedded derivatives have been separated from the main agreement. These embedded derivatives are recorded at their fair value under "Derivatives" in "Assets or liabilities held for trading" portfolios in the consolidated balance sheet. At year-end 2021, the underlying asset positions of these embedded derivatives amounted to 44,824 thousand euros (2020: 104,130 thousand euros).

Hybrid liability issues (structured bonds) basically consist of taking out a bond whose remuneration is linked to the risk performance of equity financial markets (mainly equities and indices). Structured bonds have a maximum duration of 7 years, and may have different percentages of initial capital guaranteed to the investor (between 0% and 100%). In the accounting process, the host contract (a debt instrument) is segregated from the embedded derivative reflecting the exposure to the aforementioned risks in financial markets, pursuant to the applicable accounting rules and, in particular, considering that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract.

The interest accrued by these issues of hybrid liabilities in 2021 amounted to 1,270 thousand euros (2020: 1,641 thousand euros). (Note 29)

Preference shares

On 17 July 2020, Bankinter, S.A. launched a new issue of perpetual non-cumulative, contingent convertible instruments classified as Additional Tier 1 (AT1), in the form of preference shares, of 350 million euros.

These preference shares accrue an initial coupon of 6.25%. The Bank reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel the payout of any accrued coupon at any time. As a contingent condition for the irrevocable and mandatory conversion of the preference shares into ordinary shares, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio must fall below 5,125%. In this case, the holders of the preference share will receive a variable number of ordinary shares depending on the higher of i) the market price of the share at the time of conversion, ii) a floor price of 4,1686 euros subject to adjustments, or iii) the par value of the ordinary shares (0.30 euros as at 31 December 2021).

This preferred share issue targeted investors authorised under Legislative Royal Decree 4/2015, of 23 October, approving the Restated Spanish Securities Market Act, with sales to minority shareholders not allowed. The securities issued were admitted to listing on the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE).

In accordance with the characteristics of the issue, the conversion into shares of the nominal amount of these instruments would occur if the CET1 ratio of the Bank's consolidated group were to fall below a certain level, in which case the issuer could not avoid delivery of a variable number of shares. Consequently, in accordance with IAS 32, the principal amount of the instruments issued was classified as a financial liability. Moreover, the Group has decision-making power on payment of the coupon, so it considered it as a component of equity under IAS 32. At 31 December 2021, the Group had recognised 82,272 thousand euros (net of tax) in retained earnings for the coupon accrued by preference shares issued (2020: 62,966 thousand euros.

In 2021, it redeemed an issue of perpetual non-cumulative, contingent convertible instruments classified as Additional Tier 1 (AT1), in the form of preference shares, of 200 million euros.

Of the total amount set aside as a provision at the close of the financial year, 37,691 thousand euros relate to tax contingencies and 342,335 thousand euros to legal contingencies (2020: 52,140 thousand and 347,319 thousand euros, respectively).

Based on available information, the Group estimated the extent of the obligations relating to each claim and/or lawsuit and recognised, where necessary, appropriate provisions to reasonable cover liabilities that could arise from claims received and/or ongoing lawsuits.

Specifically, estimating provisions related to lawsuits with customers is a particularly complex process given the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the final outcome and/or the final amount of the loss. This estimate is based on a detailed analysis of the nature and amount claimed by the customer. Subsequently, the Group estimates the amount of the provisions, taking into account such aspects as the number and type of claims received, the amount subject to the risk of an outflow of resources and the probability that this outflow will ultimately occur considering, among other factors, past experience in rulings handed down against the Entity in claims already resolved. The assumptions used to establish the provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and validated in accordance with the historical outcomes of claims brought against the Group and rulings handed down against the Group.

Provisions for legal contingencies includes mainly provisions arising from multicurrency loan agreements through which the Group has claims for which a ruling has yet to be handed down by the courts. These provisions are estimated for all ongoing legal proceedings. The Entity monitors the contingencies and obligations associated with these types of instruments periodically. At each reporting date, the Bank's management analyses and determines the best estimate of the legal provisions to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements, taking into account the number of claims submitted by customers and the outcome of the rulings handed down in judgements of second instance on the various proceedings initiated by customers. Specifically, to calculate the provision associated with these types of transactions, the average record of adverse rulings handed down by the courts against the Entity and the estimated average loss per case are taken into account. The Parent Company's governance bodies and management consider that the provision recognised at year-end is the best estimate of the probable outflow of resources that the Entity would have to make as a result of the actual contingency arising from multicurrency loans sold to customers.

The estimated maximum amount of the obligation at year-end arising from pending claims for multi-currency loans marketed to customers, assuming that all claims were settled in favour of the customer, would amount to 239.3 million euros (2020: 318.5 million euros).

On 4 March 2020, Chamber 1 of Spain's Supreme Court issued judgement 149/2020 rejecting the appeal by Wizink against the court ruling that considered null a revolving credit facility as it deemed the interest rate usurious. Group management and directors assessed the potential impacts of the judgement on its portfolio of similar products at year-end and recognised the necessary provisions to cover potential losses on claims that could be filed against the Group in this connection

Regarding the schedule for the outflow of resources, the average weighted maturity in 2021 was 3.2 years for tax contingencies was 2 years for legal contingencies (2020: 5.1 and 2 years, respectively).

The Group considers that there will not be any future reimbursements giving rise to the recognition of assets.

The main tax contingencies are described in Note 42 "Tax situation" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Note 27 "Staff expenses" gives further details on the provision for pensions and similar obligations. Furthermore, Note 44 "Risk policies and management" provides additional disclosures on provisions for contingent liabilities and commitments.

The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic did not give rise to any changes in the Group's approach to estimating provisions to cover these contingencies.

g) Earnings per share

The earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to the Group, adjusted by the profit after tax in equity of contingent convertible preference shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding, where applicable, the treasury shares acquired by the Group. Earnings per share in 2021 and 2020:

	2021	2020
Profit for the period (thousands of euros)	1,333,108	317,123
Coupon amount of perpetual non-cumulative contingent convertible
instrument	(19,306)	(18,966)
Earnings for the period (thousands of euros)	1,313,802	298,157
Average number of shares (thousands of shares)	898,866	898,866
Average number of treasury shares (thousands of shares)	1,151	238
Basic earnings per share (euros)	1.49	0.35
Diluted earnings per share (euros)	1.46	0.33
Memorandum items:
Continuing activities.
Earnings for the period (thousands of euros)	378,127	155,160
Basic earnings per share (euros)	0.44	0.19
Diluted earnings per share (euros)	0.42	0.17
Discontinued operations
Earnings for the period (thousands of euros)	935,674	142,997
Basic earnings per share (euros)	1.04	0.16
Diluted earnings per share (euros)	1.04	0.16

The convertibility of the Group's perpetual non-cumulative contingent convertible instruments (preference shares, Note 19) is conditional on compliance with certain terms and conditions other than the Group's earnings or the market price of the Bank's shares. In accordance with international financial reporting standards, as these terms and conditions were not met at 31 December 2021 and 2020, these convertible instruments have not considered to have any effect on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and, accordingly, do not affect the Group's diluted earnings per share at 31 December 2021 or at 31 December 2020.

These perpetual non-cumulative contingent convertible instruments accrue a coupon (Note 19), with the Bank reserving the right to cancel the payout of any accrued coupon at its own discretion. Under applicable financial regulations, this right is considered an equity item, recognised in "Other increases or (-) decreases in equity" in the consolidated statement of total changes in equity. The coupon accrued during the year by these perpetual non-cumulative contingent convertible instruments, net of tax, is adjusted to the profit (loss) for the period from continuing operations for calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

h) Dividends and remuneration

Dividends distributed and distributable charged to profit or loss for 2021 and 2020, excluding treasury shares held by the Bank:

Date	Dividend per share (euros)	Number of shares	Amount (thousands of euros)	Date of board approval	Profit (loss) for the year

23. Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities and collateral

The Group does not carry on activities involving the net recognition of assets and liabilities. It does, however, carry out activities that require the deposit of mutual collateral with counterparties, calculated on the basis of net risks.

The products subject to collateralisations are mainly the derivatives under CSAs (Credit Support Annex) signed, and repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements under GMRAs (Global Master Repurchase Agreement) or GMSLAs (Global Master Securities Lending Agreement). The main characteristics and counterparties of these guarantees are as follows:

The differences at 31 December 2021 between the measurement and the collateral are adjusted
through contributions of collateral between the counterparties on the next business day, if the
transfer minimums are reached.

In addition, guarantees for 201 million euros have been deposited in clearing houses.

For repurchase and reverse repurchases, the situation of collateral is as follows, by whether they represent a positive or negative valuation for the Group:

Post-employment benefits

In relation to pension obligations, in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement in force, for staff hired prior to 8 March 1980, as well as for certain staff in accordance with individually established agreements, the Bank has assumed an obligation to supplement Social Security benefits in the event of retirement (under a defined benefit system). This pension scheme is managed and guaranteed externally from the Bank through various insurance policies covering all their economic (returns and interest rate fluctuation) and demographic (survival) risks, thereby obtaining, firstly, a high level of immunity from the above risks and their

diversification across different insurance companies; and, secondly, the guarantee of the plan being managed externally from the risks of the Bank itself.

The defined benefit obligations in the Collective Bargaining Agreement affect staff that have not yet retired, which have yet to receive the benefit (considered current employees or staff in active service and staff who have taken early retirement, or staff in early retirement), and staff who have earned a benefit for retirement, widowhood, orphanage, or permanent disability and are receiving a pension (non-active staff).

In order to cover these pension obligations, the Bank has an insurance contract with AXA Seguros y Reaseguros S.A., ("Axa"), with the unconditional guarantee of its Parent Company, that guarantees the future coverage of all pension supplements for non-active staff vested prior to 2003. Additionally, for non-active staff starting from 2003 and to cover staff in active service, these benefits are guaranteed through a co-insurance policy, in which AXA Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. participates at the rate of 40% acting as the company leading the co-insurance, and Caser S.A. de Seguros y Reaseguros and Allianz, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. ("Allianz") at the rate of 30% each.

In addition, for a small group of retired staff (non-active), in-kind remuneration is guaranteed (a Christmas basket). This post-employment obligation is not externalised as it is a non-monetary obligation, but rather it is provisioned in the balance sheet.

Lastly, for top executives, the following contributions will be made:

For top executives appointed from 2012, in the year of appointment as top executive, an initial contribution equal to 656,560 euros to a unit-link policy taken out with AXA Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. and, from the sixth year from when this initial contribution was made, they will have a regular annual contribution to a savings insurance policy taken out with Generali España S.A. Seguros y Reaseguros ("Generali"), equal to a percentage of their annual gross salary according to their professional category and year of appointment.
For top executives appointed between 2000 and 2010, from 2019, they will be entitled to a regular annual contribution to a savings insurance policy taken out with Generali España S.A. Seguros y Reaseguros, equal to a percentage of their annual gross salary according to their professional category and year of appointment.

In the event of retirement, death or disability, top executives or their designated beneficiary(ies) will receive the accumulated funds under the unit-linked policy and savings insurance policy at the time of the contingency.

For Bankinter Portugal, for all employees in service prior to March 2009, taking account of the seniority date of Barclays Bank, they shall be entitled to receive at retirement age a pension in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement in banking in Portugal or, if greater, a top-up for the retirement pension of social security, where the sum total of the two pensions shall be equal to 70% of fixed salary at the time of retirement.

This pension plan has been externalised through a pension fund managed by BPI Vida e Pensões – Companhia de Seguros de Vida, S.A.

In addition, the pension fund indicated above includes SAMS coverage for the post-employment period for all Bankinter Portugal employees.

Lastly, the Bank's collective bargaining agreement in Portugal includes a retirement bonus for all employees, which consists of a 1.5 monthly salary payment upon retirement, whereby this obligation is part of the internal fund.

Other long-term employee benefits

Similarly, in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement in force, the Bank has assumed the obligation to supplement the Social Security payments up to certain amounts, where necessary, for permanent disability, widowhood or orphanage.

In addition, the premium paid for death and disability coverage in Spain amounted to 197 thousand euros in 2021 (2020: 394 thousand euros).

Main assumptions used to determine pension obligations

The following table sets out the basic actuarial assumptions used to calculate the defined benefit obligations to current employees, non-active employees and early retirees of Bankinter at 31 December 2021 and 2020:

	Spain		Portugal
	31.12.2021	31.12.2020	31.12.2021	31.12.2020

Retirement age in the Bank	65	65	65	65
Retirement age in the Social Security system	65	65	66 years and 7 months in 2021, projecting that age to the future in accordance with the Eurostat forecast for the Portuguese population	66 years and 5 months in 2020, projecting that age to the future in accordance with the Eurostat forecast for the Portuguese population

The PERMF2020 survival table has been used in the valuation of year-end 2021 pension commitments.

The financial term of all payment obligations assumed or accrued at the end of the year (postemployment and long-term remuneration) is 15.00 years at Bankinter Spain (2020: 15.24 years) and 22.95 years at Bankinter Portugal (2020: 25.77 years), distributed as follows:

		2021		2020
	Spain	Portugal	Spain	Portugal
Within 5 years	21%	0%	17%	0%
Between 5 and 10 years	21%	0%	20%	0%
Between 10 and 15 years	18%	24%	18%	23%
Between 15 and 20 years	14%	7%	15%	8%
Beyond 20 years	26%	69%	30%	69%

The fair value of plan assets was calculated in accordance with the following methodology:

To value the co-insurance contracts taken out with AXA, Allianz and Caser (in which the pension obligation of employees covered under the Banking Agreement prior to 8 March 1980 is externalised since these are savings insurance policies at a "matched rate"), the actuarial present value of the insured benefits discounted at the discount rate used for calculating the obligation are used for insured benefits that are "perfectly matched" with the associated obligations; and the actuarial present value of the insured benefits discounted at the estimated divestment rate used by insurance companies will be used for insured benefits that are not "perfectly matched" with associated obligations.
The value of the pension fund at year-end will be used to measure the pension plan in which Bankinter Portugal's pension obligations are externalised.

Set out below is the reconciliation of the value of the obligations and the fair value of the assets assigned to cover them for 2021 and 2020:

Key features of the difference between actuarial valuations at 31 December 2021 and 2020:

Provisions for pension obligations Spain: these provisions decreased as a result of employees leaving the company in 2021 with the resulting loss of pension obligations, and the retirements that took place in 2021, whereby benefits were received in almost all cases in the form of a single payment.
Provisions for pension obligations Portugal: these provisions were decreased owing to two factors:
- First, the provisions increased as a result of the early retirements occurring in 2021, requiring recognition of 100% of the obligation assumed by these early retirees during the year.
- Second, they decreased due to employee departures in 2021, thereby decreasing the obligations to be assumed since they then became considered former employees.

In Portugal, net provisions decreased from the year before.

Fund gains/(losses) Spain: the expected return at the beginning of the year on the plan's assets was estimated to be 234 thousand euros, when the actual return obtained was 991 thousand euros, the change is due to the redemption of the funds by the retirees who have received the benefit in the form of capital and for Bankinter due to the loss of employee rights.
Fund gains/(losses) Portugal: the expected return on plan assets at the beginning of the year was estimated at 1,561 thousand euros, while the actual return obtained was 3,271 thousand euros due to the market rally, which increased the value of the assets in which the pension fund was invested.
Accounting cost of the pension obligations: the total amount recognised in the consolidated income statement in 2021 to cover defined-benefit pension obligations was 1,212 thousand euros in Spain and a cost of 868 thousand euros in Portugal (2020: 1,553 thousand euros in Spain and 1,174 thousand euros in Portugal).

The Company's estimate at the beginning of the year for pension costs in 2022 is 1,256 thousand euros.

Provisions for pensions and other post-employment defined benefit obligations and long-term remuneration at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020:

Remuneration of the board of directors

The directors' remuneration policy for 2019, 2020 and 2021 was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 March 2019 and subsequently amended at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 March 2020, with 91,655% and 97,380%, respectively, of total capital present and represented at the meetings voting in favour.

In addition, Bankinter submits the annual report on directors' remuneration, which is presented using the template provided in the CNMV Circular, to consultative vote at the Annual General Meeting. The latest report on the remuneration of directors was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2021, with 87.3% of total capital present and represented voting in favour. The report included information on the general remuneration policy, its application in 2020 and the remuneration system applicable in 2021. While this practice has only been mandatory for listed companies since 2014, Bankinter has been submitting this report to the General Meeting since 2008, in line with the recommendations of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies.

Approval was also given at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2021 for a Directors' remuneration policy for 2022, 2023 and 2024, the application of which will be disclosed in subsequent reporting period.

i) Remuneration of directors for carrying out their director functions:

According to Bankinter's corporate by-laws, directors may be compensated for performing the duties entrusted to them as mere members of the board of directors in the following manner:

annual fixed amount;
fees for attending meetings of the board of directors and any board committees to which they belong, and
delivery of shares, share options or any remuneration linked to the value of the shares following a resolution by the general meeting regarding the number and price of the shares, and other items required by law.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 21 March 2019 voted to set the maximum annual remuneration of directors in their status as such at 2,000,000 euros, pursuant to articles 217 and 529 septdecies of the Spanish Companies Act.

The board of directors, on the recommendation of the remuneration committee, determined the specific amount that has corresponded to each of the directors, in their capacity as such, conforming to the agreement of the General Meeting when legally required.

For 2021, the total remuneration received by directors individually in that capacity has been paid by means of: i) an annual fixed amount for members of the board of directors and acting as chairs of its committees and ii) fees for attending meetings of the board and its committees. No Bankinter shares were delivered as remuneration during the year, as has been the case since 1 January 2015.

Remuneration of non-executive directors does not include any variable components, as it not subject to the achievement of objectives. Therefore, it complies with corporate governance recommendations.

Itemised total individual remuneration of members of Bankinter's board of directors in their capacity as such (supervisory and collective decision-making duties) in 2021 and 2020:

ii) Fixed remuneration of the chairman of the board of directors for his additional institutional and non-executive duties since January 2013 1 as chairman (the latter remunerated in accordance with the previous point).

Pedro Guerrero Guerrero Guerrero received 726,294 euros of remuneration in 2021, the same as the year before since the amount was not updated relative to 2020 for the same reasons as explained in the preceding paragraph on remuneration of directors in their capacity as such. The chairman of the board of directors has also received as beneficiary of

1 Details of these functions are set out in the corporate governance report, which forms part of the management report in the notes to the annual financial statements.

medical insurance policies and other items of remuneration in kind and other corporate benefits totalling 5,428 euros (2020: 5,709 thousand euros).

The chairman of the board does not receive any variable remuneration and is subject to the scheme described in the previous paragraph for non-executive directors. The chairman is also not a beneficiary of any pension scheme.

The SLA signed between Bankinter and Pedro Guerrero Guerrero does not include any golden parachute clauses, or any clauses that link the accrual of financial rights to situations of change of control over the Bank (standard clauses in these types of contracts in large corporations), as specified in the directors' remuneration reports that will be submitted to a consultative vote at Annual General Meeting, as in previous years.

iii) Remuneration of executive directors for their executive duties.

a) Components of remuneration of executive directors for their executive duties

Components of remuneration of executive directors in 2021 for their executive duties

basic fixed remuneration, which primarily reflects the professional experience and organisational responsibility; and
variable remuneration, which reflects sustainability of performance and is adapted to risk.

Fixed remuneration:

Basic fixed remuneration, which primarily reflects the professional experience and organisational responsibility.

Executive directors may be beneficiaries of health insurance policies taken out by the Bank. The Bank pays the related premiums, which are attributed to the directors as remuneration in kind. The Bank also compensates certain of these directors with other remuneration in kind, such as the leasing of vehicles and other corporate benefits that apply to all other staff. Bankinter also has a "Supplementary pension scheme for executive directors and management committee members" in which currently only the chief executive officer among executive directors takes part.

Bankinter's pension scheme is a defined contribution plan. To implement it, the Bank has taken out a unit-linked group insurance policy and a guaranteed return group insurance policy covering retirement, death and disability.

It consists of an initial contribution, which is a fixed contribution for the same amount for all beneficiaries, and an annual contribution, which varies in accordance with the responsibilities and functional scope of each employee.

This system and contribution are explained in the Directors' remuneration policy and also in the reports on the remuneration of directors approved via consultative vote at the Annual General Meetings in recent years.

Variable remuneration:

• Annual variable remuneration:

The annual variable remuneration system for executive directors was the same as that for other Bankinter Group employees who receive this type of remuneration.

The variable incentive for 2021 has been calculated semi-annually. This annual variable remuneration had the following financial indicators for the annual incentive: i) Earnings before tax (EBT) for banking business in Spain, Portugal and Ireland (including EVO), to achieve appropriate risk management and engagement to performance over the medium and long term, and ii) Operating profit/(loss) before provisions for the banking business in Spain, Portugal and Ireland (including EVO), as a critical factor for the sustainability of the business over the medium and long term and alignment with the Entity's risk policy. Each one of the indicators, EBT for the banking business and gross operating income of the banking business for Spain, Portugal and Ireland (including EVO), represent 35% and 65%, respectively, of variable remuneration, independently. The variable component accrues from the achievement of 90% and up to a maximum of 120% of the targets, potentially resulting in between 80% and 120% of the variable amount assigned to each beneficiary, according to the aforementioned achievement percentages. Therefore, the total incentive amount to be received for the maximum level of achievement of targets is 120% of the benchmark incentive. Pursuant to these tables of achievement and accrual, the overall percentage accrual of the incentive in 2021 was 106.62% (2020: 27.48%, because of the coronavirus pandemic - COVID-19 - during the year, the percentage of attainment of the first target, EBT Banking Business, was below 80%, so no incentive was accrued for that bracket).

Furthermore, to earn this 2021 variable remuneration, the following indicators (which may reduce accrued variable remuneration to zero but may never increase the amount) had to be met cumulatively:

Risk appetite framework ratios, which measure the following risks: credit risk, solvency risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and reputational risk, which must meet the condition of not exceeding the risk level defined in the risk appetite framework. The level of achievement of this indicator in 2021 was 100%. Therefore, the amount of the variable remuneration receivable for the EBT and gross operating income targets will not be reduced.
RoE TTC (through the cycle); i.e. return on equity invested factoring in the structure perspective which eliminates the effect of the cycle, thereby providing the ideal measurement of performance, must be above 7% to accrue 100% of the incentive achieved. If this ratio were between 6% and 7%, 50% of the incentives achieved would acruss; however, if it were below 6%, no amount whatsoever would be accrued. The level of achievement of this indicator in 2021 was over 100% (reaching 8.22%), so the amount of variable remuneration receivable for the EBT and gross operating income targets is not reduced.

Thus, the percentage of annual variable remuneration was earned was: 106.62%, as indicated above.

• Multi-year variable remuneration:

The 2019-2021 multi-year incentive plan, the main features of which are described in the directors' remuneration report and whose beneficiaries exclude executive directors, concluded with none of the beneficiaries entitled to receive any amount as the targets set for final accrual were not met.

b) Amounts of remuneration accrued in 2021 by the executive vice chairman:

b.1) Amount of fixed remuneration received by the executive vice chairman in 2021.

CARTIVAL, S.A., executive vice chairman of Bankinter, received 617,652 euros of fixed remuneration in 2021, the same as the year before because the amount was not updated relative to 2020 for the same reasons as the remuneration of directors listed in the sections

above.

The executive vice chairman is not a beneficiary of medical insurance taken out by the Bank or other remuneration in kind, such as the leasing of vehicles and other corporate benefits that apply to all other staff.

This pension scheme described above does not apply to the executive vice chairman, CARTIVAL, S.A., or its natural person representative.

b.2) Amount of annual variable remuneration accrued by the executive vice chairman in 2021.

At the end of 2021, as a result of the achievement rate previously mentioned, the amount of variable incentive accrued by the executive vice chairman was 230,499 euros. This amount will be paid in the form and time frame indicated below:

In cash (the gross amounts accrued are provided below. These amounts will be paid net of tax):
- 50% of the non-deferred variable remuneration accrued under the variable incentive in 2021: 69,150 euros.
- 50% of the deferred variable remuneration accrued from the 2021 variable incentive will be paid in cash, according to the following schedule:
  - 1/5 of 50% of the deferred variable remuneration accrued by the variable incentive for 2021 will be paid in January 2023: 9,220 euros.
  - 1/5 of 50% of the deferred variable remuneration accrued by the variable incentive for 2021 will be paid in January 2024: 9,220 euros.
  - 1/5 of 50% of the deferred variable remuneration accrued by the variable incentive for 2021 will be paid in January 2025: 9,220 euros.

37. Information on sustainability management

In carrying on their businesses, the companies in Bankinter Group ("the Group" or "BANKINTER"), in addition to meeting their own goals in benefit of shareholders, aim to generate shared value with stakeholders by implementing guidelines for responsible behaviour with a view to becoming the benchmark bank in sustainability.

To achieve this, a comprehensive corporate responsibility management process was implemented that is sustainable, lasting, focused on value creation, and integrated in the Bank's management in a global, transversal and gradual manner.

In March 2021, the board of directors approved a new sustainability policy, which sets out corporate-wide guidelines for Bankinter Group to integrate values and principles of responsible management into its activity so it can contribute to the prosperity of society and sustainable development. Compared to previous versions of the policy, this one factors new trends; e.g. biodiversity impact management, cybersecurity and a human rights policy, and includes subsidiaries Evo and Avant Money in the scope.

The policy's principles aim to contribute to the sustainable and inclusive development of the environment in which the entity operates based on the three strategic pillars of quality, innovation and technology, in line with Bankinter's corporate values of agility, enthusiasm, integrity and originality.

The principles of the Bankinter Group's sustainability policy are:

Good governance in the organisation, promoting best corporate governance practices in management that ensure compliance with applicable legislation, promotion of sustainable finance, transparency, business ethics, proper risk management, transparent tax policy with responsible and prudent criteria, and the application of best practices in information security.
1. A balanced, transparent and clear relationship with our stakeholders, as well as our clients, developing products and services tailored to their needs.
1. The inclusion of ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria when analysing investments and funding.
1. The consideration of social and environmental impacts when designing products and services, promoting those that generate added environmental or social value.
1. The integration of sustainability risks into investment decisions and advice on investments and insurance.
1. Financial inclusion, facilitating access to Bankinter services and financial education under equal conditions, ensuring non-discrimination.
1. The advanced management of people as the Bank's most important capital, promoting their well-being and motivation through work-life balance, personal and career development and health and safety, and promoting inclusion and employee diversity.
1. The responsible and sustainable management of the chain of suppliers, fostering a positive mutual influence society for a better the social, ethical and environmental performance.
1. The contribution to the social development of the communities where the Bank operates, through both its own activity and initiatives aimed at social investment via the Bankinter Innovation Foundation (Fundación para la Innovación Bankinter), collaboration with the third sector and the corporate volunteering programme.
1. An environmentally conscious approach to its business activities, involving its main stakeholders in the global challenge posed by climate change and loss of biodiversity.
1. The assumption of the obligations set out in international protocols and standards, implementing their best practices.

The Group implements its sustainability policy while always guaranteeing its full suitability and consistency with the Bank's strategy and the demands of an ever-changing environment, through the following instruments:

Strategic sustainability plans, drawn up on a multi-year basis;
Strategic lines, which structure and implement these plans;
Related programmes and their economic, social and environmental goals arising from implementation of the strategic lines;
The Group's other internal policies, which reflect the guidelines set out by the Bank for various areas.

The Board of Directors is the body responsible for establishing and overseeing compliance with the Sustainability Policy and its implementing instruments, and deciding on any amendments that may be necessary.

The board appointments, sustainability and corporate governance committee is staked with monitoring implementation of the policy.

The sustainability committee is responsible for proposing and executing the strategic plan by planning and implementing the initiatives set out in it and integrating in each area of the Bank the principles set forth in the sustainability policy in a manner that is consistent and integrated with the Bank's overall strategy. Committee resolutions must be adopted by a majority of votes, with the chairman having a casting vote in case of a tie. The sustainability committee meets at least once every four months and reports to the board of directors, through the appointments and corporate governance committee, at least once a year and whenever required, on the degree of deployment of the strategic lines included in the strategic sustainability plan.

The chairman of the sustainability committee is in charge of coordinating and supervising the committee's activities, as well as the duties inherent as Chairman of a collective body.

The sustainability division is responsible for coordinating and monitoring the actions defined in the strategic sustainability plan's lines and programmes, verifying the level of compliance with the related goals and identifying areas of improvement based on ongoing engagement with stakeholders and in accordance with recognised standards and sustainability indices.

Internal audit supervises the non-financial information reported at least annually by the sustainability committee to the board through the appointments and corporate governance committee.

Following the approval of the new sustainability policy, a new strategic sustainability plan was drawn up for the 2021-23 period called "3D", as it addresses management of the three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, social and governance (ESG). This plan contains 17 strategic lines, which contribute to the achievement of 11 of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030, as verified by certification firm EQA (European Quality Assurance) in an independent report.

Its design was based on the outcome of a materiality assessment performed using a questionnaire in which the Bank's main stakeholders took part and aimed to identify the matters they considered to be the most relevant for the Bank's sustainability management.

The plan was also inspired by recognised standards, such as the ISO 26000 corporate responsibility guidance standard or the Forética SGE21 standard; and following recommendations from international influencers, such as sustainability rating agencies and corporate responsibility observatories.

The Bank's sustainability management was recognised in 2021 when Bankinter was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index for the second straight year, as one of the institutions with the best corporate governance and best environmental and social performance. In addition, the Bank maintained its position on the FTSE4Good and MSCI indices, among others, and on that of environmental management of the Carbon Disclosure Project, along with other global largecap companies. Bankinter was also included in two additional sustainability indices in 2021: ESG Euronext Vigeo Eiris Eurozone 120 and STOXX Global ESG Leaders.

Bankinter adheres to the main international sustainability and climate change initiatives commitments, e.g.: the UN Global Compact, the Equator Principles, UNEPFI (United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative), the Principles for Responsible Banking and, more recently, the Net Zero Banking Alliance. Through the Net Zero Banking Alliance, signatory banks are committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios net-zero emissions by 2050, setting an intermediate target for 2030.

In pursuing these objectives, Bankinter created a working group represented by various areas of the Bank (risk, capital management, supervisor relations, corporate banking and sustainability) to draw up roadmap for decarbonising portfolios, which it will present 2022. Meanwhile, significant progress was made in managing climate change risk, as described is the note on risk management (Note 44).

Bankinter is also a member of Forética (the Spanish association of businesses whose mission is to promote a culture of business ethics) and collaborates with Corporate Excellence for Reputation Leadership, a corporate foundation created to pursue excellent management of intangible assets, and Fundación Lealtad, a not-for-profit institution whose mission is to strengthen confidence of Spanish society in NGOs by promoting their transparency.

The Group saw no need in the year to set aside provisions for any environmental risks and liabilities, as there were no contingencies linked to environmental protection and improvement, and no penalties or fines were imposed on Bankinter Group for its environmental management. The Group also did not incur any expenses or receive subsidies related to such risks. The Group's directors consider that any environmental risks that may arise from its operations are minimal and adequately covered, although it is working actively on managing the climate change risks associated with its financial activity.

42. Tax situation

On 27 December 2000, the Bank notified the National Revenue Agency of its decision to apply the tax consolidation system from 2001 onwards. The Tax Group number 13/2001 was allocated by the National Revenue Agency.

Bankinter subsidiaries comprising the tax group at 31 December 2014: Bankinter Consultoría, Asesoramiento y Atención Telefónica, S.A. Bankinter Gestión de Activos, S.A., S.G.I.I.C. Hispamarket, S.A. Intermobiliaria, S.A. Bankinter Consumer Finance E.F.C., S.A. Bankinter Capital Riesgo, S.G.E.C.R, S.A. Bankinter Emisiones, S.A. Bankinter Sociedad de Financiación, S.A. Arroyo Business Consulting Development, S.L. Relanza Gestión, S.A. Bankinter Global Services, S.A. Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A. Línea Directa Asistencia, S.L.U. Motoclub LDA. S.L.U. Centro Avanzado de Reparaciones CAR, S.L.U. Ambar Medline, S.L.U. LDActivos, S.L. Naviera Goya S.L.U. Naviera Sorolla, S.L.U. Bankinter Securities, S.A.

Law 27/2014, of 27 November 2014, on Corporate Income Tax ("LIS"), became effective on 1 January 2015, replacing the previous consolidated text of the Spanish Corporate Income Tax Law approved by RDL 4/2004, of 5 March, and amending the tax rates with a reduction in the general rate from 30% to 25% (2015: 28%). However, the tax rate for credit institutions remains at 30%.

As a result of this modification and the developments in the tax consolidation system arising therefrom, the Bank has changed the composition of the tax group such that, as 1 January 2015, tax group no. 13/01 is composed of Bankinter, S.A., Bankinter Consumer Finance E.F.C., S.A. and Intermobiliaria, S.A. Also, effective from 1 January 2016, the companies Naviera Goya S.L.U and Naviera Sorolla S.L.U. were added to the tax group 13/01, the parent company of which is Bankinter, S.A.

The other companies that formed part of tax group no. 13/01 in 2014 were removed and now file individual tax returns, with the exception of Línea Directa Aseguradora, S.A., Línea Directa Asistencia, S.L.U., Motoclub LDA, S.L.U., Centro Avanzado de Reparaciones CAR, S.L.U., Ambar Medline, S.L.U., and LDActivos, S.L., which have formed their own consolidated tax group effective as from 1 January 2015 (Group no. 486/15). LDA Reparaciones, S.L. was included in this tax group with effect from 1 January 2017.

On 31 May 2019, EVO Banco S.A. was removed from VAT Group 0066/16 and tax group 269/15 following the acquisition of EVO Banco S.A. and Avantcard by Bankinter, S.A. It had been filing consolidated taxes since 2015 and in 2019 filed individual tax returns in Spain. In 2020, EVO Banco S.A. has joined the tax group 13/01, whose parent company is Bankinter, S.A., with effect from 1 January 2020.

Avantcard continues to file individual taxes in its jurisdiction (Ireland).

On 18 June 2021, the Bank, as parent of Tax Group 13/01 and VAT Group 0066/15, received notification of the commencement of partial and limited inspections of the tax deduction for technological innovation from corporate income tax in 2017-2019 and the share of the volume of transactions in the Common Territory (i.e. Spain excluding Navarre and the Basque Country) and in Navarre and the Basque Country of Intermobiliaria, S.A. for value added tax purposes for the February 2017-2019 period.

Regarding proceedings arising from tax inspections of previous years, in the inspection of income tax for 2007 to 2009, a ruling by the National High Court was received on 14 September 2021 partially upholding the procedure, for which an appeal against this decision filed with the Supreme Court.

The proceedings relating to the partial verification and investigation of personal income tax withholding for indemnities paid between 2010 and 2012 in Bankinter, S.A. and Bankinter Global Services, S.A. are currently being appealed before the courts.

Regarding proceedings involving the general inspection for 2011 to 2013, appeals are under way over value added tax with the Spanish High court and over income tax with the TEAC.

Lastly, as at 31 December 2021 the inspection in EVO Banco S.A. regarding R&D deductions from corporate income tax for 2014 and 2015 are under appeal before the courts.

Because of the possible interpretations of tax legislation applicable to some transactions carried out in the banking sector, certain tax liabilities of a contingent nature could exist. However, in the opinion of the Bank's directors, the possibility of such liabilities arising is remote, and if they did arise, the resulting tax charge would not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In any case, the tax liabilities that might derive from the claims lodged against the disputed assessments were adequately provided for at the end of 2021 and preceding financial years.

In 2005, the Group elected to apply the tax regime for foreign holding companies regulated in Chapter XIII of Title VII of Corporate Income Tax Law 27/2014, of 27 November, notifying the competent body of the Spanish Tax Administration Agency (Agencia Estatal de la Administración Tributaria) of its decision to do so on 21 April 2005.

In accordance with article 108.3 of this Law, the Bank reported that it did not obtain any gains or dividends in 2021 and 2020.

Finally, in relation to the merger between Bankinter, S.A. (acquiring company) and Bankinter Securities, Sociedad de Valores, S.A. (absorbed company) in 2018, the required disclosures in the notes according to 86.3 of Law 27/2014, of 27 November, on Corporate Income tax are included in the annual report approved in 2019 corresponding to the consolidated annual accounts for 2018.

"Level 1" in the hierarchy includes data on financial instruments whose fair values are obtained from quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments; i.e. without modification or reorganisation. "Level 2" in the hierarchy includes data on financial instruments whose fair value is obtained from quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. "Level 3" in the hierarchy includes data on financial instruments whose fair value is obtained from valuation techniques in which some significant input is not based on observable market data. There were no transfers between stages in the hierarchy for significant amounts in 2021.

Certain equity instruments are measured at cost where fair value cannot be estimated reliably. The lack of reliability of a fair value estimate is due to the wide range of estimates and the impossibility of measuring the probabilities of each estimate within the range reasonably.

The fair value of financial instruments determined using internal models considers contract terms and conditions, and observable market data, such as interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, share prices and volatility. It is assumed that the markets in which they are traded are efficient, so their data are representative. The valuation models do not factor in subjective considerations.

In addition, in some cases, the price published by the counterparty in official media, such as Reuters, is used given the complexity of the products measured.

At 31 December 2021 and 2020, the main techniques used by internal models to determine the fair value of financial instruments were the present value model (which discounts future cash flows to present value using market interest rates) and the Black-Scholes model and its derivative (which allow, through a closed formula and using only market inputs, the valuation of interest rate options). Credit derivatives are measured like any other interest rate derivative, but include (market) spreads in the market inputs related to underlying of the issue. Counterparties are reviewed on an ongoing basis during the different valuation processes to ensure that the models and inputs used remain valid at all times.

When calculating the fair value of derivative liabilities, the entity distinguishes between collateralised positions, for which the impact of own credit risk is estimated as zero, and uncollateralised positions, for which the own credit risk adjustment is estimated objectively based on the probability of default by the entity observed in data published by the market's main financial news agencies.

When calculating the fair value of derivative assets, the entity distinguishes between collateralised positions, for which the impact of counterparty credit risk is estimated as zero, and uncollateralised positions, for which the counterparty credit risk adjustment is estimated based on internal probability of default models constructed on the basis of historical information from the Bank's databases.

When determining fair value of equity investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates, the entity's accounting policy is to consider the whole investment as the unit of account.

44. Risk policies and management

Risk appetite

Bankinter understands the risk function as a core element of its competitive strategy, which is translated into its risk management and differentiates the Entity in the financial system.

Adequately identifying, measuring, managing and controlling the relevant risks of all the Group's businesses is a priority of the board of the directors. Therefore, it establishes the basic risk management mechanisms and principles to achieve the Group's strategic goals, protect the Group's earnings and reputation, defend the interests of shareholders, customers, other stakeholders and society at large, and ensure business stability and financial soundness on a sustained basis over time.

The board of directors approves and reviews the risk appetite framework, which defines the risk appetite and tolerance that the Entity is willing to assume in its activities, on a regular basis. The framework contains a set of key metrics for the levels of the various risks, and the quality and recurrence of earnings, liquidity and solvency. Risk tolerance levels that Bankinter Group is willing to assume are defined for each metric.

These metrics are monitored on a quarterly basis. Where a negative trend is seen in any of them, action plans are drawn up and monitored until the metrics return to appropriate levels.

Therefore, the risk appetite framework is a governance tool to ensure that the risks assumed are consistent with Bankinter Group's strategy and business plans, irrespective of any limits established for the various risks and monitored regularly though the relevant committees and organisational structures. See the chapter on "Risk appetite framework" in the Pillar III Report for more information.

Corporate governance of the risk function

Following is a brief description of the corporate governance and organisation of the risk function. For a broader description, see the following sections of the Pillar 3 Disclosures Report: "Corporate governance of the risk function" and "Structure and organisation of the risk management and control function".

Bankinter Group has a corporate governance system that is in line with the industry best practices and adapted to regulatory requirements.

The board of directors, in accordance with board of directors regulations, is responsible for approving the risk control and management policy and regularly monitoring the internal information and risk control systems.

To perform these functions, the board of directors is supported by two of its delegated committees: the executive committee and the risk and compliance committee.

Executive committee

The executive committee has delegated to is all of the functions of the board except those that cannot be delegated under the law, the by-laws or the rules and regulations of the board of directors. It takes decisions for managing and monitoring all types risks and, in turn, delegates to the following first-level committees:

Credit risk, in the executive risk committee, which in turn sets the limits on the delegation of powers to the lower-ranking internal bodies, within the limits set by the board of directors. (The executive risk committee is the top risk committee, except for risks that fall under the management committee's and the assets and liabilities committee's remit).

Business risk, to the management committee.

Structural risk (liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency) and market risk, to the assets and liabilities committee (ALCO).

Risk and compliance committee

The risk and compliance committee has supervisory duties related to risks and is the board of directors main support in risk-related matters.

Its duties include: i) advising the board of directors on the entity's overall risk propensity and on its strategy in this regard, and assisting the board of directors in the effective implement of that strategy, determining, together with the board of directors, the nature, quantity, format and frequency of the information on risks to be received; ii) agreeing on the appointment and removal of the chief risk officer and the head of control and compliance, based on a suitability assessment in both cases by the pertinent committee, and iii) overseeing the Group's control and compliance function, and specifically risk control, internal validation, regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.

Audit committee

Body delegated by the board of directors to exercise the board's powers relating to the oversight and monitoring of the company's activity; the accuracy, objectivity and transparency of its accounting practices; its economic and financial reporting; and its compliance with legislation and regulations by which the Bank is bound. As a general rule, it acts by making recommendations of good practices for the Bank's areas albeit it may also reach resolutions about issues under its supervision.

The audit committee directs the internal audit activity. Its annual plan focuses closely on work related to the measurement, monitoring and management of risks.

Organisation of the risk function

Bankinter's organisational structure is based on the principle of independence and separation of functions between the various units that assume and manage risks and those that monitor and control risks.

The board of directors is ultimately responsible for managing and controlling Bankinter's risks.

The managing director of risk is the CRO ("chief risk officer") in accordance with current regulations. The board risk and compliance committee appoints and removes the chief risk officer on the recommendation of the chairman, vice chairman (if an executive) or the chief executive officer of the Entity.

There are two differentiated and separate functions under the oversight of the Risk division/CRO:

Risk management.
Control and compliance function.

The organisation of these functions is described below.

Risk management

The risk management function covers the main risks (credit and counterparty, market, liquidity, structural, operational and model), with global and corporate-wide responsibilities and support to Bankinter Group's governance bodies. It is charged with defining the methods and executing the risk controls as the first line of defence. It is also geared towards executing and integration the risk function into the management of the various businesses of Bankinter and Bankinter Group. It comprises the following first-line divisions and units:

Credit risk: tasked with defining the risk policies associated with each of the segments. It is delegated powers that allow it to authorise customer transactions. It oversees the entire risk process, from approval (which requires IT support capable of achieving the highest level of efficiency) to monitoring and recovery.

Global risk management: responsible for developing, improving, controlling, implementing and regularly monitoring statistical and risk parameter models for the various credit portfolios, and enhancing the integration of these models into management. The internal models perform a key role in the approval process, in the calculation of regulatory and internal capital, in the collective estimation of provisions, in recovery processes and in the establishment of risk-adjusted return measures (RARORAC). It also oversees, together with the global risk division, the development of the specific policies and procedures that must be included in the framework for the risk management model. Its responsibilities also include supervisor relations, official announcements and regulatory reporting in regard to models, and monitoring the sequentially implementation plan for IRB models in the Bank.

Global Risk: coordinates the different Risk areas in activities and projects related to methodologies, policies, procedures and regulations, seeking to adopt industry best practices in the measurement and management of risks and, in particular, management of the Group's global risk profile.

The Risk Assessment unit acts on cross-cutting factors, coordinating and promoting: a sectoral approach to credit portfolio management, analysing sectors and promoting the most appropriate information and management processes at all times. As managing climate- and environmentrelated factors and their translation into different risks.

Market risk and institutional control: Reporting to the managing director of risk/chief risk officer, its function is to control and monitor structural risks (liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency) and market risks arising from the Entity's institutional and trading operations.

As discussed further on, the balance sheet management area and the trading department, which report to the general capital markets division, are responsible, respectively, for managing liquidity, interest and foreign currency risks (structural risks) and market risk. Market risk has the independent duty of measuring, monitoring and controlling changes in interest rate, liquidity, foreign currency, market and counterparty risks in 'institutional' positions; i.e., those taken by the assets and liabilities committee (ALCO) and by the treasury department for trading purposes.

Operational risk: responsible for promoting and coordinating the procedures and tools for the identification, measurement, control and reporting of operational risks, providing the organisation with a uniform vision of operational risk. First-line management of operational risk is delegated to the Group's various subsidiaries, support areas and business units. Operational risk is occasionally managed by specialised or centralised departments when necessary given the circumstances (complexity, size, cross-sector corporate processes, etc.).

Non-performing loans and incidence: It is responsible for running and managing the process for recovering outstanding loans in early stages of default, by implementing and promoting internal and external tools and actions for this purpose with a view to minimising new non-performing loans. It is also responsible for running and managing the control, monitoring and non-amicable recovery of loans in accordance with prevailing legislation by creating and promoting automatic systems that make management more efficient and by implementing more efficient and effective mechanisms and processes to improve outstanding debt collection. It is also responsible for all matters related to the policy, analysis, approval and monitoring of forbearance arrangements.

Real estate assets: setting and updating the price of foreclosed assets and determining their purpose. Its duties include the adapting the assets technically and legally and monitoring them to prevent impairment. Its purpose and main responsibility is to proactively seek out buyers by publicising and managing assets in accordance with principles of transparency, sufficient publicity, competition and effectiveness in order to obtain the highest price possible. It prioritises quick selling.

Control and Compliance function

The Corporate Control and Compliance division, as the second line of defence, reports to the risk and compliance committee and is integrated into the Bank's organisation through the Risk division (CRO). The corporate responsibilities in its remit extend to all areas and include providing support to the Group's governance bodies. It is organised into the following units with the following responsibilities:

Risk control unit: The purpose of this area is to oversee the quality of Bankinter Group's risk management. More specifically, it seeks to guarantee that the systems for managing and controlling the various risks involved in its activity meet the most demanding criteria and the best practices in the banking sector and/or required by regulators, overseeing that the actual risk profile assumed is in line with that established by senior management.

Organisations and subsidiaries control unit: This unit oversees credit risk management at regional organisations and the second line of defence for the various risks of Group subsidiaries.

Technical division: This area is in charge of procedural aspects of the risk appetite framework and the corporate risk map, and oversight of the second line of defence of certain specific risks (e.g. reputational risk).

Internal validation unit: It is in charge of validating the advanced risk models and their results. To do so, it analyses them and issues reports with opinions on their validity for risk management and on their use in managing risks, and issues the related recommendations.

Regulatory compliance unit

The board of directors is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Group's general code of conduct, the general anti-money laundering and terrorist financing policy and the products and services marketing policy.

The risk and compliance committee is charged with functions that include overseeing compliance with legal requirements, supervising the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems, supervising compliance with the Group's code of conduct in securities markets, antimoney laundering manuals and procedures and, in general, the Bank's governance and compliance rules, and making any necessary proposals for their improvement, as well as reviewing fulfilment of any actions and measures arising from reports or actions by government supervisory and control authorities.

The duties of the Regulatory Compliance unit, which is integrated in the Corporate Control and Compliance division and reports to the risk and compliance committee, include the following: Advising of senior management, employees and the Group's business and operating areas. Supervising and controlling compliance with rules of conduct. Detecting and managing noncompliance risks. Relations with regulatory and oversight authorities and bodies in matters that fall within its remit.

Financial control and analysis unit

The Financial Control and Analysis, integrated in the Corporate Control and Compliance division, reports directly and regularly to the audit committee.

Its mission is to assess the effectiveness of the general internal financial control framework, to ensure the reliability of the Group's financial information. Its scope includes the functions and competencies of all Bankinter Group entities, subsidiaries and branches. It can also consider activities performed as outsourced services.

Applying a systematic and methodological approach to overseeing the existence of an effective control framework (ICFR), performing internal control over financial reporting. This helps to improve the effectiveness of management processes for financial risks and their internal control framework.

This function also includes control over outsourced services, in accordance with the guidance in the EBA guidelines on outsourcing arrangements.

Anti-money laundering unit

This is the technical unit under the Control and Compliance division that reports to the internal control body. It is staffed by specialist, full-time personnel with suitable training in analysis, as established in prevailing legislation.

It reports to the board risk and compliance committee on progress in measures and action plans concerning anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT).

Its aim is to guarantee adequate coverage of the risks arising from money laundering and terrorist financing, complying with all related legislation.

Other risks managed indirectly by the managing director of risk/CRO

Structural risks

The board of directors sets the strategy and policy for structural risks (interest rate, liquidity and foreign currency risks) and market risks and designates various bodies to manage, monitor and control them. It also sets the risks profile to be assumed by the Group, setting maximum limits that it delegates to such bodies, as defined in the risk control and management framework.

The board of directors delegates to the assets and liabilities committee (ALCO) the ongoing monitoring of decisions regarding structural risks of the balance sheet (interest and liquidity risk), stock market risk and the exchange rates of the Entity's institutional positions, as well as the establishment of the financing policies. It reviews, approves and delegates to the ALCO, on an annual basis, the applicable limits for the management of the aforementioned risks.

The ALCO is directly responsible for managing all interest rate and liquidity risks, as well as stock exchange and institutional change risks and group financing policies. However, capital markets, within its powers or following the guidelines of the chairman, chief executive officer or managing director of capital markets may carry out actions aimed at protecting the Bank from its risks or taking advantage of trading opportunities that arise.

The board of directors reviews the framework and policies for managing these risks and the appropriateness of changing the operating limits established therein as often as it deems necessary and at least annually.

The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management areas, which are part of the Capital Markets division, implement the decisions taken by the ALCO in relation to the functions in the previous section. It has powers to act immediately if market circumstances require, with subsequent reporting to the ALCO.

Technological risks

These risks are supervised by the Technological Risk and IT Security area, which reports hierarchically to the Digital Banking Division. Functionally, it reports regularly to Bankinter's Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Its main responsibilities regarding management of these risks include: training and awareness-raising on information security; coordination of technology environment improvement plans; management of system vulnerabilities; coordination of certified risk management systems; cryptographic key custody; identification and definition of the security requirements for new projects and developments; definition, approval and maintenance of business continuity plans, technological contingency and incident response plans;

implementation of security measures on operating systems, databases and middleware; identification and management of vulnerabilities detected.

Reputational risk

The first-line management of this risk is delegated to the Bank's various subsidiaries, support areas and business units, operating within the scope of the policies and guidelines issued by the corporate reputation unit. This unit, which is part of the corporate communication and responsibility area, also draws up reputational risk metrics, oversees the preventive management of this risk and mitigates potential reputational risks by taking part in crisis response actions.

Other units completing the risk control and management framework

Data protection officer.

The corporate privacy and data protection officer reports to Legal Counsel and has the following functions: Coordinating the privacy and data protection officers of Group companies, to ensure they apply the same privacy and personal data protection criteria. Approving new initiatives that affect the right to privacy and personal data protection that differ from those approved in the organisation. Its competencies in this area exceed those of the privacy and data protection officers of Group entities. Advising the data controller of their obligations in relation to data privacy and protection. Overseeing compliance with the requirements of privacy and data protection regulations.

Privacy committee

The privacy committee is responsible for approving initiatives that are strategically important for the organisation or that pose significant legal or technology risks in relation to the right to privacy and personal data protection. It also oversees initiatives and procedures adopted by data protection officers.

Customer service area

The Customer Service area analyses complaint and claims management data continuously to identify and address recurring or systemic issues, and potential legal, operational, conduct and other risks, reporting the findings to the board of directors. Given the importance of the information it handles, these findings constitute an early warning mechanism for issues arising from the marketing of products or services and/or the Bank's relationship with its customers, which is considered the Bank when selecting and adopting the appropriate measures to address or prevent the issues.

Risk diversification is an essential management principle, as illustrated in the successive financial crises. The Bank regularly monitors risk diversification by sectors, geographic location, products, guarantees, customers and counterparties.

Classification of the portfolio based on credit risk

Credit risk is the main risk to which the Group is exposed. The procedures and criteria used to estimate credit risk are set out below. This section starts with their classification and the next explains how expected credit losses are estimated.

Credit exposures are classified, in accordance with their credit risk, into one of the following categories:

1) Performing exposures (Stage 1): includes transactions for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The loss allowance will be measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. Interest income will be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the financial asset's gross carrying amount.
2) Underperforming exposures (Stage 2): includes transactions with a significant increase in credit from initial recognition, but no default event or impairment. The loss allowance will be measured at an amount equal to the financial asset's lifetime expected credit losses. Interest income will be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the financial asset's gross carrying amount.
3) Non-performing exposures (Stage 3): includes credit-impaired assets; i.e. that present a default event or impairment. The loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the financial asset's lifetime expected credit losses. Interest income will be calculated applying the effective interest rate to the financial asset's amortised cost (i.e., adjusted for any impairment losses). If these positions are reclassified to Stage 1 or Stage 2, the reversal of previously recognised impairment losses is recognised as a loss allowance update, not as interest income.
4) Write-offs: Transactions for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, or which are over 4 years past-due, will be included in this category. Classification in this category will entail recognising losses in profit or loss at the financial asset's carrying amount and its full derecognition, although the Group may take any actions necessary to attempt to collect until its rights have been definitively extinguished due to statute of limitations, forgiveness or other causes.

The criteria used by the Bank to determine whether a significant increase in risk has occurred can be divided into three categories:

• Objective increase in Probability of Default (PD), according to estimates provided by daily provisions models. Once this objective increase in PD is identified, depending on the significance of the transaction and the customer's rating, it is assessed whether to automatically reclassify to Underperforming Exposures (Stage 2) or if this needs to be confirmed or rejected by an expert analyst. This will always apply to exposures above 1 million euros. The analysis to be performed is set out in an internal procedure detailing the circumstances for both individuals and legal entities to verify a substantial change in an instrument's risk profile from its origination.

Expert assessment: In addition, a reclassification based on an expert's opinion may take place if a situation is observed that might lead to the conclusion that there is a significant increase in the risk. Therefore, there is system of warnings that contributes to the early identification of these situations, and a procedure of expert assessment of the significant increase in risk that includes the following indicators:
- o Changes in the economic or regulatory environment or in conditions of markets to which the customer may be particularly sensitive.
- o Deterioration of the customer's economic and financial structure (e.g. income, debt levels, margins, cash flows, debt service ratios)
- o Technological risks
- o Pending litigation
- o Pre–insolvency proceedings
- o Significant downgrade of internal and/or external rating
- o Significant deterioration of market indicators
- o Waivers, breach of covenants, standstill, etc.
- o Potential contagion effects
- o Defaults in other exposures

These indicators address the guidelines contained in the IFRS9 standards, the EBA – Guidelines on accounting for expected credit losses or Annex 9 of Banco de España Circular 4/2017.

Backstops: Moreover, the following additional criteria are taken into account:
- o Forbearance is objective evidence of a significant increase in risk, and therefore reclassification to Stage 2, provided there are no indications of impairment.
- o In general, the Bank adds the accumulation of more than 35 days past due as additional objective evidence of a significant increase in risk. The rejection of the general approach in paragraph 5.5.11 of IFRS 9 to the presumption of a significant increase in risk when a default occurs that is more than 30 past due is based on the example set out in paragraph B5.5.20 of the same standard. It is based on the empirical analysis of observed default frequencies conditional on days of non-payment as well as collection activity. This analysis shows that there is a significant volume of collections between days 30 and 35 of non-payment, which can be explained for several reasons:
  - The regular income from customers, although occurring on a monthly basis, does not necessarily have to be exactly 30 days apart due to the length of the months and the effect of holidays.
  - Exposures from 30 days past due are given a different management status and, as a result, recovery actions are stepped up.
  - In products such as factoring, 30 days of non-payment can accumulate without triggering recourse to the assignor, so there is not really a significant increase in risk.

Consequently, the Bank opted to adjust the general criterion by five days with the sole objective of not automatically classifying exposures where no significant increase in risk is actually observed in Stage 2, so making the classification system more stable.⁴ .

days of non-payment as a backstop for a significant increase in risk. This does not mean the general 35 day criterion is being disregarded, it is simply a technical shift to establish an equivalent threshold, in accordance with the specific features of the procedure discussed above. With this change it was also possible to substantially reduce the volatility in ratings, taking into account that the significant increase in risk should not be an ephemeral phenomenon. In any case, that this is an exceptional criterion with an impact on the calculation of provisions of less than 3 million euros, which represents 0.3% of the impairment losses on the loans and advances portfolio at the end of 2020. However, other options will be assessed to reduce the 65-day threshold in practice.

⁴Specifically, in the case of credit cards marketed by Bankinter Consumer Finance, fundamentally with external direct debit, an empirical analysis was also developed, presented to the credit risk monitoring and provisions committee, which justified moving the objective criterion associated with days of default. The rationale is operational: BKCF carries out a process of resubmission of unpaid position instalments shortly before the close of each month, which generates a very significant volume of recoveries, mainly in early stages of non-payment. These recoveries are not recognized as final until approximately 30 days have passed since the instalment was re-sent and has not been returned. This firm recognition of recoveries known as "risk reduction" occurs approximately 60 days after the first month of non-payment for resending instalments which are in the first month of non-payment. In practice, this means there is a delay of one month with respect to the rest of the portfolios, so the committee approved the increase from 35 to 65

o As for the exemption for low risk provided in the standard, Bankinter Group analyses the significant increase in risk in all its exposures.

The credit risk monitoring and provisions committee governs the entire classification system and approves the criteria and procedures for analysing and determining the existence of a significant increase in risk. Specifically, this committee approves the thresholds set with respect to the increases in PDs and days past due, by which any significant increase in risk is determined in each of the categories into which the loan portfolio is divided. For this purpose, quantitative analyses are taken into consideration to check the stability of the system (and certain other factors) taking into account that the classification is updated daily and that entering Stage 2 means a change in customer management.

The following criteria are used to identify impairment:

Over 90 days past due: Includes all positions with amounts more than 90 days past due, without applying any material filter.
Carry-forward: This category includes the amounts of all transactions with a holder when the transactions with amounts overdue for more than 90 days exceed 20% of the amounts pending collection.
Refinancing, refinanced and restructured transactions that meet the following characteristics:
- o The transaction has a grace period of more than 24 days.
- o If any contract to be refinanced was already impaired, including successive refinancing of positions that were already refinanced and impaired.
- o If a haircut is arranged on the principal amount of the transaction.

The Group's forbearance policy, which includes the criteria for determining the existence of impairment, is described later in this note.

Other criteria for reasons other than late payment, including the following indicators:
- o Transactions in which legal proceedings have been taken to recover the debt.
- o The transactions of borrowers that are or will be declared in insolvency proceedings without a winding up petition. The guarantees granted to borrowers declared subject to insolvency proceedings for whom there is a record that the winding up stage has been or will be declared, or who

undergo a considerable and unrecoverable impairment in their solvency, even though the guarantee beneficiary has not ordered payment.

o Finance lease transactions in which the entity has decided to terminate the contract in order to repossess the asset
o The set of transactions of borrowers with a balance categorised as nonperforming due to delinquency, that do not reach the percentage indicated in the carry-forward scenario, in the event that there are conclusively reasonable doubts about their total repayment following an individualised study.
o Purchased or originated credit-impaired transactions or transactions with a considerable discount.
o Sales of loans of a borrower with significant losses.
o Exposures fall under a situation of no interest accrual or conditional interest accrual.

The Group also considers the following indicators in performing impairment tests:

Significant financial difficulties of the borrower that seriously affect its ability to comply with its loan obligations.
Continuous losses that have comprised the debtor's solvency.
Generalised delay in payments to settle debts and other obligations.
Existence of an internal or external credit rating that shows the borrower to be in default.
Existence of impaired positions in other group companies to which the debtor belongs or in companies where a relationship of contagion on the debtor has been identified.

All these criteria established for the recognition of impairment are fully consistent with the definition of "Impaired asset" in Appendix A of IFRS 9 as well as with the indications in paragraph B5.5.37, considering in all cases that an instrument is recognised as non-performing when it is 90 days past due.

Section 4.1 "Accounting definitions" in Bankinter Group's Pillar 3 report describes the differences between the definition of default applied for prudential purposes (as set out in article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2013 - CRR) and the guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority on the application of the definition of default and the definition of credit-impaired. Although there are certain differences

between the definition of "default" used by the Group and the concept of nonperforming/doubtful, these have no substantial effect. Therefore, the differences between portfolios in default and those classified as non-performing/doubtful are in practice limited.

The main differences are as follows:

The concept of non-performing/doubtful is applied at exposure level, which means that transactions from the same debtor with different ratings (e.g. sustainable and unsustainable tranches in a restructuring agreement). On the other hand, for legal entities, the concept of default is applied at obligor level and, once they are considered to be in default, a carry-over of all of their exposures takes place. However, it should be noted that, where carry-over criteria are observed in relation to assets classified as non-performing/doubtful and, in general, for assets seen as "subjective doubtful", then this carry-over effect is also applied at individual level.
The definition of default includes material thresholds not considered in past due/non-performing, although these thresholds are extremely limited according to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/171.
On the other hand, for individuals, the concept of default is applied at exposure level, without considering automatic carry-over criteria like those anticipated in the case of non-performing/doubtful exposures.
Prudential default considers a three-month "testing period" during which the situation remains the same even if payment has been made. Past due/nonperforming does not consider automatic criteria, so the position may be reclassified from Stage 3 once payment is made and there are no other additional criteria for considering impairment.

Transitions between a stage of credit risk and another arise depending on when a financial asset meets or no longer meets the definitions of impairment and significant increase in credit risk. However, the Group has established minimum cure periods for forborne exposures and minimum terms for the individualised analysis. Refinancing/restructuring measures are also indicators of impairment and/or a significant increase in credit risk. This type of transaction is treated in line with the standards issued in this respect by the European Banking Authority and Banco de España Circulars.

Estimation of expected credit losses

The expected loss is calculated and assigned on a contract-by-contract basis, taking into account its specific characteristics, and which are used to determine EAD, PD and LGD risk parameters. There is, therefore, no estimation on the basis of aggregated groups of exposures with a homogeneous risk profile, except in those portfolios where what are known as the "practical expedients" provided for in paragraph B.5.5.35 of IFRS 9 are used. However, a distinction must be made between two different procedures:

The individualised estimation of coverage based on a detailed analysis of future flows performed by an expert analyst.
The collective estimation of hedges obtained automatically through internal provisioning models.

The first of these procedures is applied systematically in the following cases:

From 2 million euros of credit risk (which includes the drawn amount plus the undrawn commitment) for exposures in Stage 3.
From 3 million euros of credit risk for exposures in Stage 2.

These thresholds, which are applied without exceptions, follow a customer risk criterion so that, for example, if a customer is doubtful and has a risk of more than 2 billion, it will be analysed under an individualised methodology even if not all its positions are doubtful. Moreover, the worse customer rating prevails. In other words, if a customer has only one exposure in Stage 2 and the rest in Stage 1, the Stage 2 methodology will be applied for all exposures, unless the Stage 2 risk is considered residual (no more than 5% of the client's total risk).

On the other hand, operations classified as performing (Stage 1) are generally only subject to the collective estimation of expected losses. However, it should be noted that in the coverage estimation procedure, the individualised analysis can be applied to those transactions, irrespective of their classification, where it is found that the model provides an inadequate estimate of the coverage. This exceptional treatment is carried out under governance criteria, so that all proposals are submitted to the monitoring and provisions committee, leaving a trace of the justification, validity and proponent. Moreover, this extension is not limited to a particular segment of the portfolio as forward-looking valuation criteria may emerge that are not adequately captured by the models.

It might be thought that the collective estimate is simply a shared estimate for groups of instruments with similar characteristics. However, bearing in mind that there are 21 internal models for estimating PD and 19 models for estimating LGD, and, also, these models are broken down into sub-models, each of which has its own explanatory variables, the combination of possible situations characterised by a given expected loss is extremely high and incompatible with an alternative non-parametric procedure, as there are not enough individuals in each homogeneous group to estimate losses with a minimum degree of precision.

In addition, an individualised estimate in the case of an unimpaired exposure classified as Stage 2 also requires the probabilities of default provided by the collective estimation models. So the individualised analysis and the collective analysis differ in that the former provides a detailed analysis of the potential losses in the event of default under three alternative scenarios that are weighted according to their probability of occurrence, taking into account the evolution of the exposure over the life of the instrument. A hypothetical calculation of the provision through a case-by-case analysis for Stage 1 exposures is simplified since it is reduced to the expected loss in the first 12 months from the reference date and should therefore not differ significantly (except for possible LGD expert valuation biases referred to in the next paragraph) from the collective calculation since both procedures are based on the PD estimates provided by the models.

Also, a hypothetical individualised analysis applied to performing exposures for the determination of 12-month expected losses should be based on probabilities of default provided by the models, analysing potential losses based on the assumption of default. There is a risk of this analysis being biased, however, because the starting conditions in terms of revenue generation capacity or even the value of collateral if liquidated may be far removed from those that would exist under a hypothetical default situation, also taking into account that there has not been a significant increase in risk. In fact, in LGD models, a very relevant factor is the so-called probability of cure, a parameter which is difficult for analysts to specify and which must be supported by empirical evidence. That is why we do not think it is appropriate to establish a threshold in Stage 1 that would systematically lead to replacing collective estimation with individualised analysis.

The internal provisioning models are the key part of the impairment calculation methodology, providing the various components that affect the expected loss over both a twelve-month horizon from the reference date (Stage 1) and the life of the instrument (Stages 2 and 3): EAD ("exposure at default") reflects the exposure drawn on transactions at the time the impairment is incurred. It therefore incorporates the estimate of the amounts expected to be paid on off-balance sheet exposures through a conversion factor applied to the nominal value of the transaction. PD ("probability of default") reflects the probability that a borrower will not meet its payment obligations in the time horizon considered (one year or at maturity). Lastly, the LGD (loss given default) reflects the part of the EAD that is assumed to be a loss in the event of such an event. These parameters are calculated and adjusted taking into account the economic climate at each reporting date.

The following table presents the different categories into which the Bank's credit risk portfolio is divided at year-end 2021. The approach used for the collective estimation of expected losses is also shown:

It can be seen that the portfolio is subdivided using a highly granular segmentation according to different criteria, such as the geographical location, nature and size of borrowers. The type of financing, the collateral or even the distribution channel (Bankinter business or open business) is also considered for individuals. In legal persons, certain activities and specific types of financing, such as project developers, are separated into specific categories. The public sector is also separated, distinguishing between private companies and local, regional or state administrations.

In general, each of these categories has shared risk characteristics and in most cases, this means that collective models can be developed, to make a causal relationship between a set of attendant variables and credit risk. Each of these models may in turn contain submodels, however, which can give a specific response when, for example, instruments are past due. Clearly, the same category may show very substantial differences in the risk profile. These models are able to find these differences according to the explanatory variables that characterise the borrower and the instrument.

At the end of 2021, 91% of the provisions for instruments and assets subject to collective estimation correspond to the categories for which collective internal models are applied. The "practical expedients" (IFRS 9, paragraph B.5.5.35), which include both the so-called alternative solutions provided by Banco de España and other simple solutions applied in other geographies, are rarely used if we exclude the categories corresponding to financial institutions and the public sector. In the specific case of Evo Banco, sufficient historical information referring to its current business model and Bankinter Group's risk policy applicable to this institution will have to be accumulated for the future development of collective internal models.

The Group has established regular procedures to analyse the reliability and coherence of the results obtained through its collective estimation methods concerning credit risk hedges through back testing. These tests assess accuracy by subsequently comparing actual losses effectively observed on transactions.

Alternative solutions are used to calculate expected loss of exposures to financial institutions, the public sector and fixed income. This is because the Group does not have sufficient historical experience of defaults in these portfolios to develop internal models, especially when various types of customers and instruments have to be covered, and the fact that they must be sensitive to the economic scenario. Alternatively, Banco de España has estimated coverage percentages for the different Stages drawing on its experience and the information it has on the Spanish banking sector, and forecasts on future conditions. These strike us as being the best option, and fit in with our limited experience and future expectations in this type of exposures. However, the decision needs to be continuously reviewed according to possible events and analysts' expectations.

In this respect, we highlight the following:

Up to now, the forward-looking assessment of expected loan losses has been based on various scenarios assuming the continuity of the euro.
Exposure to the public sector is limited under the Group's risk appetite framework.
Ratings issued by rating agencies are a key benchmark in this area, an investment grade rating being needed.
Other indicators such as risk premiums, which have a more situational nature, are also relevant as indicators of a potential structural change.

The Group takes into consideration forward-looking information to determine expected credit losses and to identify significant increases in risk. In this regard, the Group has defined a baseline macroeconomic scenario it uses to draw up the Group's budgets, business projections and capital planning. This scenario covers a 5-year period, with growth gradually converging towards levels consistent with the potential growth of the economy. The Group considers that it is not possible to make forecasts with a minimum degree of precision beyond this period, although it still considers the contractual terms of transactions to determine expected losses. The Group considers alternative forward-looking information to the baseline scenario as follows:

The Group has two alternative scenarios to the baseline scenario: a pessimistic and an optimistic scenario. It uses these to estimate the risk parameters for calculating expected credit losses by applying collective assessment approaches. The outcome of each scenario –baseline, optimistic and pessimistic– is weighted in accordance with its probability of occurrence, with 40% for the baseline scenario, and 30% for each of the alternative scenarios.
The function of these scenarios is to correct for possible biases in the estimation of expected losses. They must thus adequately reflect the dispersion of the business cycle in both directions and in a balanced manner. They therefore represent equiprobable deviations from the baseline scenario, converging to the latter at the end of the projection period, and are constructed by Monte Carlo simulation, in accordance with the historical evidence of relationships between the various macroeconomic variables considered and their uncertainty. The probabilities of occurrence attributed as based on empirical evidence, minimising the difference between the dispersion of thousands of scenarios simulated and the three scenarios chosen.
For Spain, each scenario features specific amounts for year-on-year growth in GDP, the unemployment rate, year-on-year growth in housing prices, and year-on-year growth in the business turnover index (ICNE). In Ireland, the year-on-year rate of GDP, the unemployment rate, and the year-on-year rate of housing prices are used. For Portugal, they consider the same variables with the exception of the ICNE, and also include the headline inflation rate. The following table summarises the various scenarios through the three common variables to all geographies:

		Average of the first three years of the projection*
Country Scenario		Prob.		GDP Unemployment rate	Property price
	Basis	40%	3.7	13.2	(0.2)
Spain	Pessimistic	30%	2.3	16.2	(2.8)
	Optimistic	30%	5.1	10.2	2.3
Ireland	Basis	40%	5.9	6.3	3.3
	Pessimistic	30%	3.0	7.3	(2.3)
	Optimistic	30%	8.9	5.3	8.9
Portugal	Basis	40%	3.6	5.8	6.1
	Pessimistic	30%	2.9	8.0	4.3
	Optimistic	30%	4.4	3.5	8.0

(*) 2022-2024. Housing prices in Spain are taken from appraised value statistics published by the Ministry of Transport.

Averages for the first three years of the project are shown, since there is a reversion back to the baseline scenario in the next two years to complete the five-year period. The macroeconomic variables are included in the models to determine expected losses. Taking GDP is the most important, e.g. for Bankinter Spain, a reduction/increase of 1 percentage point would result in an increase/reduction of expected loss in collective estimation models of 6.3%/6.1%, respectively. The individual estimations also take into consideration the scenarios established and are weighted taking into account the probability of occurrence of each scenario and, in the case of financial assets in Stage 2, the probability of default of a counterparty in each scenario.
The prospective idiosyncratic elements are captured in the collective models with ad hoc adjustments governed in a provisions committee to adjust elements that the expected credit loss models are unable to capture. Here, we highlight the explanation provided in the section on the impacts of the health crisis regarding maintenance of the "Macroeconomic Effect" caused by lingering uncertainty over the pandemic's potential impact on the loan book.

Information and impacts of the health crisis

The pandemic caused by SARS-COV-2 is an unprecedented event. It has triggered a unique crisis and prompted a raft of extraordinary measures, which have limited the normal course of productive activity and consumption as they seek to protect the productive fabric and employment under the assumption that it was a temporary shock. In this protection role, the financial sector has played a key role by providing the necessary liquidity to companies and alleviating the financial burden on households affected by the decline in activity.

A key feature of the crisis is the sectoral asymmetry of its impacts. Certain sectors of activity have been effectively derailed for a long time now. While the outlook improved over the course of 2020, the reality is that there have been significant declines in income, and levels of debt have

been rising for the most part. This situation also affects households whose income comes directly or indirectly from the activities hit hardest by the pandemic.

That is why it was necessary to maintain the support needed by viable businesses in 2021, prompting the Spanish government to complement legislative measures implemented in 20205 with Royal Decrees 3/2021 and 5/2021:

The first of these, published on 2 February 2021, extends the period for requesting new moratoria and or the term of existing moratoria until 31 March, in line with the European Banking Authority 's latest review of its guidelines on moratoria issued on 2 December 2020⁶ . The maximum term of the new aid that can be requested or for extensions was limited to nine months.

Spanish Royal Decree 5/2021, of 12 March, ushered in a raft of extraordinary measures to keep afloat sustainable businesses that had been seriously affected by the health crisis. This involved support of 11,000 million euros earmarked for direct aid (7,000 million euros), financial debt restructuring support for companies (3,000 million euros) and the establishment of a recapitalisation fund (1,000 million euros) supplementing the fund already managed by SEPI. This Royal Decree sets out the actions on the drawing board and announced the approval of a Code of Good Practices to contain the specific criteria for the effective implementation of these actions and proper coordination among creditors.

The Code of Good Practices was approved by the Council of Ministers on 11 May and published on 13 May 2021. Its core objective is to bolster the solvency of viable companies through debt guaranteed by the government, so that the survival of productive activity can be guaranteed. Three instruments have been proposed for this, subject to eligibility criteria:

1. Extension of the terms of the guaranteed transactions, which will be mandatory at the request of the customer if they experience a drop in their turnover of more than 30% in 2020 compared to 2019.
1. Conversion of guaranteed transactions into participating loans, maintaining the public guarantee.
1. Debt reduction agreements.

Application of the last two of these requires the debtor's income to have fallen by at least 30% between 2019 and 2020, and the debtor to have made a loss in 2020. The amounts involved are limited by the provisions of section 3.1 of the European Commission's State Aid Temporary Framework.

5 Royal Decrees-Law 6/2020, 8/2020, 11/2020, 15/2020, 18/2020, 19/2020, 25/2020 and 26/2020 Its application requires the participation of all the entities that have voluntarily signed up to the Code of Good Practices, with a commitment to ensure the best use of public funds and assuming a part of the costs that may result from the sustainability agreements reached. Bankinter formally submitted its adherence to the Code of Best Practices on 1 June.

The Portuguese Government also implemented a package of similar aid measures in 2020, with the same objective. This involves moratoria for individuals and companies and lines of support for the economy in response to COVID-19. This is coordinated by the Mutual Guarantee Companies (SGM). Compared to Spain, it gives considerably greater weight to the use of moratoria.

Considering the development of the pandemic in the early months of 2021, Decree-Law 22- C/2021 was approved on 22 March, introducing a nine-month extension of the interest-only periods, assuming acceptance in the sectors most affected unless expressly waived. This Decree also extends the special scheme for granting guarantees by the Mutual Counter-guarantee Fund (SGM) for 12 months.

With the 1 October deadline looming of a large percentage of moratoria granted, Banco Português de Fomento presented the "Línea Retomar" facility in the last days of September. This facility, with total guarantees to be provided of 1,000 million euros, targets viable non-financial undertakings of any size through three mechanisms:

Restructuring of all loans under a moratorium
Partial refinancing of all loans under a mortorium
Guarantee loan to cover liquidity requirements

The maximum terms being considered are eight years, which can be extended to 10 years for micro and small enterprises, with a grace period of up to two years. Bankinter has said it will avail itself of this new facility.

The following table provides a summary of new loans subject to legislative and non-legislative moratoria in Bankinter Group as at 31 December:

6 Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the COVID-19 crisis

Legislative and non-legislative moratoria	Gross carrying amount, thousands of euros				Distribution by stages
	Number of obligors	Total	Legislative moratoria	Unexpired moratoria	1	2	3
Households		1,589,890	765,606	11,148		80.7% 16.5%	2.8%
Collateralised by residential immovable property		1,460,992	730,043	10,159		81.3% 16.9%	1.8%
Non-financial corporations		461,763	461,199	23,006	81.5%		7.4% 11.0%
Small- and medium-sized enterprises		356,587	356,023	12,577	88.7%	9.6%	1.7%
Collateralised by commercial immovable property		202,971	202,874	18,886	70.5%		7.1% 22.4%
Total loans and advances	22,257	2,068,190	1,243,342	34,153		81.0% 14.3%	4.7%

As illustrated, the gross carrying amount of the Group's moratoria is 2,068 million euros, of which only 34 million euros has not expired. A prospective assessment of the risk of this portfolio was carried out in the year, causing the Group to recognise significant increases in credit risk (stage 2), which accounts for 14.3% of the total moratoria and marks a 7.5pp increase from year-end 2020. Non-performing exposures also increased (to 4.6% from 1.4% at 31 December 2020), but most of the increase was due to a single position. The level is still moderate, with virtually the entire portfolio already expired.

The following table sets out transactions with public guarantee schemes in response to the COVID-19 crisis:

Newly originated loans and advances subject to public guarantee schemes in the context of the COVID-19 crisis				Gross carrying amount (thousands of euros)
	Number of obligors	Gross carrying amount (thousands of euros)	1	2	3
Households		67,792	99.0%	0.0%	1.0%
Non-financial corporations		6,424,919	93.3%	5.4%	1.3%
Total loans and advances	31,073	6,523,733	93.4%	5.3%	1.3%

As shown, at year-end 6,524 the Group had a gross carrying amount of 6,524 million euros, with a non-performing loan ratio of 1.3%. Taken together, the sum of moratoria and facilities backed by government guarantee schemes represents 11.4% of eligible exposures. Analysing the distribution of aid by segments of activity, the wholesale and retail trade sectors are the two biggest recipients, followed by manufacturing due to the large size of this industry, although, in relative terms, the hotel and hospitality industry also received a considerable volume of aid.

Considering the transitory shock caused by this unique crisis, the set of measures implemented to date has clearly had a positive effect on containing the economic damage caused by the pandemic. This is demonstrated by the volume of exposure, with unpaid balances at their lowest level in recent years. At 31 December 2020, they were 38.4% lower than at year-end 2019, then fell another 7.5% by 31 December 2021 from the year before. This also means that, at the moment, defaults are not materialising on a scale that would lead us to expect a substantial increase in non-performing loans in the coming months. This is particularly the case considering vritually all the moratoria that have expired and, therefore, returned to their normal repayment schedule. Further evidence is the trend in cost of risk in 2021, with an accumulated total at 31 December of 263.4 million euros (263.1 million euros recognised in "Impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss" and 0.3 million euros recognised in "Provisions for commitments and guarantees given"), representing an annualised cost of risk of 35bp of the Group's eligible exposures at year-end. This came while recognising significant increases in credit during the year.

The performance of the loan book exposure is demonstrating the effectiveness of Bankinter's strategy of prospective assessment of impairment, considering both the decline in activity in 2020 and the subsequent recovery expected for the following years, and how this recovery, together with the support measures implemented, could support the economy's productive fabric. Nevertheless, we remained extremely prudent, considering both the present and the future as the backdrop for a gradual recovery following a sharp drop in activity that cannot be considered completely behind us.

Following the recommendation of the European Central Bank, since the start of the crisis Bankinter has been using the quarterly forecasts published by the ECB for the European Union and the country-specific forecasts issued by the central banks, consistently with the former, as its benchmark. Thus, considering the macroeconomic projections of the Spanish economy for the 2020-2022 period published by Banco de España in June and September 2020 ⁷ , an extraordinary provision of 242.5 million euros was recognised as at 31 December 2020 to adjust to the new macroeconomic landscape.

The outlook in this September 2020 publication was more pessimistic due to the emergence and spread of the so-called second wave and, according to Scenario 1, placed the decline in GDP at - 10.5% in 2020, with a subsequent recovery of 7.3% and a 1.9% increase in GDP in 2021 and 2022, along with an unemployment rate of 19.4% in 2021.

As early as December 2020, Banco de España turned more upbeat in its forecasts and this tone continued in its quarterly publications of March, June and September 2021. The latter, built on the evidence of the progress and effectiveness of the ongoing vaccination campaign, the performance of the economy itself and the reality of the European recovery funds, placed the cumulative rate of change in GDP between 2020 and 2022 at 0.41%, which meant a full recovery in activity with respect to 2019. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate (annual average), at 14.3%

⁷ Reports on forecasts by Banco de España for the Spanish economy are available at Banco de España - Publications - Bulletins and magazines - Economic Analysis and Research - Macro Projections (bde.es)

in 2021, was practically the same as the rate reported in 2019 and a far cry from the 19.4% initially forecast in September 2020, as described above.

The effectiveness of the vaccines had become evident by the end of the third quarter of 2021; i.e. 19 months after the declaration of the state of alarm in Spain, so the return to normality appeared to be a reality. This was also reflected in the economic projections published by a range of organisations, particularly the European Central Bank and competent national authorities, which showed increasing optimism over the pace of recovery in economic activity and, especially, employment.

The extreme uncertainty characterising this crisis since it emerged seemed to be much lower now, pointing to a near future of growth. This is also being driven by the approval, on 16 June by the European Commission, of the national recovery plans presented by Spain and Portugal. This will enable the effective application, between 2021 and 2026, of 70,000 million euros in aid and 70,000 million euros in loans to Spain, and 14,000 million euros of aid and 2,600 million euros of loans to Portugal, from the Next Generation EU fund.

Nevertheless, there were still pockets of uncertainty that the Group needs to wary of. Shortly after these September 2021 forecasts were released, Spain's National Statistics Institute revised down its quarter-on-quarter GDP growth rates for the preceding quarters. The biggest cut was for the second quarter, from 2.8% to 1.1%. Moderation in the growth of activity came amid a special backdrop, featuring a sharper impact on manufacturers and a quicker recovery by employment. The cause lies in the frictions related to the recovery of activity, as seen by supply shortages and rising energy prices, resulting is an overall rise in inflation, as noted by Banco de España in its latest report, of December 2021.

In these circumstances, the pace of recovery is likely to slow down. However, the factors described above are offset by the European funds programmes and financing conditions that are still propitious for coping with the effects of the pandemic for a longer period of time. This is conveyed in Banco de España's economic forecasts released in December 2021, as summarised in the table below:

			2021		Forecasts as at December
Annual variation rate (%), unless otherwise indicated	2020	2021	2022	2023	2024
GDP	-10.8	4.5	5.4	3.9	1.8
Harmonised consumer price index (HCPI)	-0.3	3.0	3.7	1.2	1.5
Unemployment rate (% of the active population) Annual average	15.5	15.0	14.2	12.9	12.4

*Source: Banco de España: Macroeconomic scenarios for the Spanish economy 2020-2022. Dec 2021

Compared to September, the new forecasts show activity recovery much more slowly until 2023. They also show some price pressure in 2022. Unemployment forecasts are slightly better, with Social Security registration data showing a stronger rebound in employment. As few days after the release, the opposite to what happened in September occurred: the National Institute of Statistics revised upwards its quarter-on-quarter GDP growth for the third quarter, from 2% to 2.6%, just one tenth below Banco de España's September forecast. Therefore, the future trend in activity showed in the preceding table has a conservative bias due to a statistical error, which also bears out certain limitations in the National Statistics Institute's criteria for preparing preliminary forecasts of quarterly accounts amid this unique recovery.

These forecasts factor in the increase in coronavirus case counts over the last few months of the year, which could be partly behind the slower recovery, especially in international tourism. However, they do not consider specific effects related to the Omicron variant. This new strain constitutes a major source of uncertainty. Nevertheless, we agree with Banco de España that economies' and societies' ability to adapt has grown with each new wave. Also, health care professional know more about how to fight the virus, so it is not as severe as in the first waves. There is still an asymmetrical sector impact. Indeed, the new scenario with the Omicron variant can cause much greater damage, especially to tourism and leisure activities.

Against this backdrop, even if the scenario considered materialises, there is still some uncertainty about the potential impact of the pandemic on our loan book and the potential biases in the estimation of expected losses using provisioning models. Therefore, the Group clearly confirmed at year-end 2021 the maintenance of the "Macroeconomic effect" provisions, which also provides adequate coverage for the new, more upbeat scenario than between June and September 2020, even assuming only recovery until 2022.

Lastly, Bankinter again showcased its ability to maintain activity and increase operating income before provisions by 4.5% in 2020 compared to 2019, despite these circumstances. Growth for full year 2021 was 13.9%, demonstrating the strength of the income statement and its resilience to considerably more severe scenarios.

Performance in the year

As was the case in 2020, the health and economic crises caused by COVID 19 pandemic, alongside gradual economic recovery amid widespread uncertainty characterised 2021.

Government measures to provide business with much-needed support were extended during the year, especially the payment moratoria and state guarantees started up in 2020, as explained at greater length in the "Information and impacts of the health crisis" section above in this note. Bankinter remained proactive in 2021, implementing the support measures it began in 2020. Figures at year-end are provided in that section.

Growth in credit risk was moderate again last year. Loans and advances to customers at amortised cost increased by 6.7% (Note 10) and eligible exposures (which include off-balancesheet exposures) increased 6.3%.

Underperforming exposures increased by 29.8%, driven mostly by the reclassification of customers in sectors hit hardest by COVID-19. Non-performing loans were steady (+0.5%), while the NPL ratio fell to 2.24%; i.e. a reduction of 5.4pp in the year. This is 55% of the sector average in Spain (4.29% according to Banco de España data from November 2021).

Provisions for credit risk rose by 5.5% in anticipation of the potential effects of the pandemic, as explained at greater length in the section on the health crisis.

At the end of December 2021, the foreclosed asset portfolio stood at 171 million euros, representing 0.3% of total credit risk, after falling by 24.9% during the course of the financial year.

Following is a description of the trend and main figures for eligible exposures in Spain by internal business segments:

Individuals

Lending to individuals increased by 6.5% in 2021, with strong growth in all segments. The individual lending portfolio totalled 31,724 million euros at year-end, with an NPL ratio of 2.0%.

The residential mortgage loan book for individuals showed a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 56% at 2021 year-end and 87% of these loans were secured by the primary residence of the owners. The NPL ratio of this portfolio ended the year 1.6%. The average effort (measured as the proportion of income that the customer allocates to paying mortgage loan instalments) remained extremely low (22%). Mortgage activity started up in Ireland the year before, but took off last year, ending December with a balance of 424 million euros.

Consumer lending returned towards more normal levels, growing by 7.4%. The total for this business in the Group at year-end stood at 2,671 million euros; i.e. 3.5% of total credit risk. Riskadjusted margins, and NPLs and NPL ratios remained under control and in line with typical levels for this type of business.

Corporate banking

Credit risk in Corporate Banking decreased by 5.1% to 16,403 million euros, with an NPL ratio of 0.66%. In this segment, where the business activities are more international and less exposed to Spain's economic cycle, Bankinter boasts a solid competitive position based on specialisation, KYC, flexibility and quality of service.

Small- and medium-sized enterprises

The SMEs Banking (small and medium-size enterprises) segment grew by 3.0%, ending the year with a loan book of 15,171 million euros and an NPL ratio of 5.2%. The Bank uses automated decision-making models to manage this segment, along with centralised teams of highlyexperienced risk analysts.

Portugal

Bankinter Portugal's loan book contributed 7,611 million euros of exposures to the balance sheet at year-end, an increase of 8.8% in the year, and an NPL ratio of 1.72%.

Maximum exposure to credit risk

The table below shows the maximum level of exposure to credit risk assumed by the Group at 31 December 2021 and 2020 for each type of financial instrument, without deductions for collateral or other credit enhancements to ensure compliance by borrowers.

Risk mitigation

Key criteria for approval in the Group's risk policy are payment capacity and solvency, with collateral and guarantees providing additional assurance of obligations. Collateral and guarantees should not be the primary means of recovering amounts from transactions, and not the determining factor in the decision regarding approval. However, provided they meet certain requirements, they provide an element of credit-risk mitigation and are required where possible.

For accounting purposes, effective collateral and guarantees include collateral and personal guarantees shown to be valid as a means of mitigating risk considering the time needed to realise them, the ability to do so, and past experience.

Personal guarantees, barring certain exceptions, cover the total amount of the transaction and imply the Bank's direct and joint liability. The guarantor's payment capacity and solvency to meet the obligation guaranteed is assessed. Personal guarantees are particularly relevant in transactions with businesses, often requiring the guarantee of the owners.

Real estate mortgages are generally first mortgages, constituted and registered in favour of the Bank. The properties provided to the Bank as collateral are generally located in urban areas and are highly liquid.

Collateral in the form of pledged financial assets are generally deposited at the Bank and operations with them are blocked. More or less strict coverage criteria are applied depending on the nature and liquidity of the pledged assets.

In line with regulations, the appraisals of real estate collateral are updated as follows:

Performing portfolio: The policy for updating the portfolio of residential and commercial properties (commercial premises, warehouses and offices) is to update the appraisal where there are significant declines in value through full individual appraisals or automated appraisals by independent appraisal companies. For individual assets, such as land or plots, or assets used for financial exploitation, and all transactions with significant risk, a full individual appraisal is made every three years, or less is there are significant declines in value. Potential declines in value are verified annually.

Transactions classified as underperforming are updated annually. The appraisal of collateral and guarantees for non-performing loans is updated on classification as non-performing and annually thereafter. The appraisal of assets foreclosed or received in payment of debt is updated at the time of foreclosure or receipt and annually thereafter.

Bankinter's Risk Control function verifies compliance with the procedure for approving collateral and guarantees and the estimate of value approved by the board of directors.

Non-performing loans and foreclosed assets

The Group defines its exposure to credit risk in terms of eligible exposures, as indicated above. Eligible exposure represents the risk assumed in relation to the borrowers, as well as the committed amount drawable or off-balance-sheet risk.

At year-end 2021, total non-performing eligible exposures stood at 1,694 million euros, up 8 million euros (or 0.5%) from the year before. The NPL ratio was 2.24% at year-end, with a reduction of 14 basis points (5.4%).

The portfolio of forbearance transactions at the end of 2021 was 783 million euros, considering as forbearance any modifications in the credit risk conditions.

(*) The gross carrying amount is the sum of the carrying amount and the amount of impairment of the assets. Therefore, it includes the value of the discount on the acquisitions of financial assets from Portugal and other valuation adjustments from loans and advances to customers and credit institutions. (Note 10)

At 31 December 2021, including these figures, the "Gross carrying amount" of the portfolio of impaired loans and advances acquired amounted to 37,914 thousand euros (31 December 2020: 47,165 thousand euros), representing an average discount of 55.3% (31 December 2020: 56.1%) with respect to the principal owed in these exposures, plus an impairment loss of 4,982 thousand euros (31 December 2020: 6,487 thousand euros).

The gross balance of the portfolio of foreclosed assets at year-end stood at 171 million euros, with a reduction in the year of 56 million euros.

The real estate assets are highly diversified geographically and by type of property, which facilitates their sale.

The portfolio of real estate portfolio assets does not include hardly any developments in progress and the weight of rural land is negligible.

Forbearance policy

The Group's refinancing policy still conforms to best practices set out in prevailing legislation. The main objective is to recover all amounts due, which means any amounts considered unrecoverable must be recognised immediately.

The Group's refinancing policy described below has not been altered by the COV SARS 2 health crisis. The Group has simply followed the recommendations of banking regulators and supervisors to make appropriate use of the flexibility implicit in the regulatory framework, and has sought to avoid automatically recording measures deployed to support families and companies as a result of the pandemic as refinancing arrangements. Both the legislative and industry moratoria and the government-backed liquidity facility schemes described in last section of this Note should be considered macroprudential mechanisms designed essentially to help customers cope with the temporary difficulties arising from the health crisis. It is not automatically assumed that they should be considered as refinancing and that they therefore constitute a significant increase in risk.

Forbearance measures must take into account:

An up-to-date and individualised assessment of the economic and financial situation of the borrowers and guarantors, as well as their capacity and willingness to pay.
The situation and effectiveness of the guarantees and collateral provided.
Past Experience with the borrower: sufficiently extensive history of debt repayment or, failing that, of an equivalent amount of repayment of the principal.

The refinancing or restructuring of transactions that are not current with payments will not interrupt the period of their default status, nor will it result in them being reclassified, unless there is reasonable certainty that the customer can meet their repayment obligations or that new effective guarantees will be provided and, in both cases, provided at least the past due ordinary interest is paid.

The solution that best adapts to the situation of the obligor will be chosen through individual analysis from among the potential forbearance options, for the purpose of recovering all amounts owed. In this regard, a suitable repayment plan without any grace periods will be chosen, unless there are short-term liquidity restrictions or a disposal plan needs to be executed to cover all or part of the debt. In general, measures that allow payments to be deferred in the short term or leave open refinancing terms and conditions in the long term must be based on the temporary nature of the situation of the obligors that warranted adopting these types of measures and on the clear willingness of customers to fulfil their payment obligations.

When a transaction is refinanced, it will be classified under one of the following categories:

Underperforming refinancing transaction: Those for which there is objective evidence that the recovery all outstanding amounts is highly probable. In this regard, the following factors will be taken into consideration:
- − Grace period of less than 24 months.
- − Existence of a suitable repayment plan. In the case of transactions with individuals structured via monthly payments, the debt burden should not exceed 50 per cent.
- − Addition of guarantors of unquestionable solvency, or of new effective guarantees or collateral.
Non-performing forborne exposures: Transactions where there is evidence of weaknesses in the borrower's repayment capability will be classified as non-performing. In this regard, the following factors will be taken into consideration:
- − The grant of grace periods on capital repayment exceeding 24 months.
- − The need to write off amounts from the balance sheet estimated as irrecoverable for the arrangement to continue.
- − Failure to provide new effective guarantees or collateral.
- − Acceptability of previous forbearance measures.

Borrowers will be classified as non-performing unless there is evidence of sufficient capacity to fulfil their contractual obligations.

Distress restructuring: Due to Bankinter's size and risk management, in general it appears as a minority entity among the creditors in debt restructuring processes and, therefore, it does not have a leading role in these processes. However, the various proposals submitted must be assessed for the purpose of defending the one with greater expectations of recovering the debt within a context of uncertainty. The conditions under which business continuity is viable and likely, as well as the reasonableness of the disposal plans and their implications, must therefore be analysed in detail.

Reclassification of forbearance

The reclassification between forbearance categories requires an exhaustive review of the equity and financial position that concludes that it is not likely that the holder will encounter financial difficulties. In this regard, it must assess:

For reclassification from non-performing forborne exposure to underperforming forborne exposure:
- That 12 months have elapsed since the date of the refinancing
- That the renegotiated principal amount has decreased since the date of the transaction and there should be no past-due amounts from that time.
- That the holder does not have any other amounts more than 90 days past due.
For reclassification from underperforming to performing:
- That 24 months have elapsed from the date of the forbearance or from the date of reclassification as non-performing loans.
- That the borrower has settled an amount equivalent to the amount past due on the date of the forbearance and there are no past-due amounts from that point on.
- That the holder does not have any other amounts more than 30 days past due.

Accounting classification

Refinancing means any transaction, irrespective of the borrower or the guarantees or collateral given, granted or used for economic or legal reasons related to the -current or foreseeable- financial difficulties of the borrower(s) in order to cancel one or more transactions granted by the Bank or by other Group entities to the borrower(s) or to one or more other companies of the borrower's economic group, or whereby such transactions are brought totally or partially up to date with payments, so as to help the borrower(s) under the cancelled or refinanced transactions repay their debts (principal and interest) because they cannot, or it is thought that they will not be able to comply in time and form with the terms of the arrangement.

Regarding modifications of terms and conditions, transactions can be classified as:

• Refinancing transaction: any transaction, irrespective of the borrower or the guarantees or collateral given, granted or used for economic or legal reasons related to the -current or foreseeable-- financial difficulties of the borrower(s) in order to cancel one or more transactions granted by the Bank or by other Group entities to the borrower(s) or to one or more other companies of the borrower's economic group, or whereby such transactions are brought totally or partially up to date with payments, so as to help the borrower(s) under the cancelled or refinanced transactions repay their debts (principal and interest) because they cannot, or it is thought that they will not be able to comply in time and form with the terms of the arrangement.

Refinanced transaction: a transaction that is brought totally or partially up to date with payments as a consequence of a refinancing transaction carried out by the Bank or another entity in its economic group.
Restructured transaction: a transaction in which, for economic or legal reasons relating to the current or foreseeable financial difficulties of the borrower(s), the financial terms and conditions are modified in order to help the borrower(s) under the cancelled or refinanced transactions repay their debts (principal and interest) because they cannot, or it is thought that they will not be able to comply in due time and form with its conditions, even if such modification is envisaged in the contract. In any case, the following transactions shall be considered to be restructured: transactions involving a 'haircut' or debt forgiveness or where assets are received to reduce the debt, or where the terms and conditions are modified to extend the maturity, change the repayment schedule to reduce the amount of the instalments in the short term or reduce their frequency, or establish or extend a grace period for principal, interest or both, except when it can be shown that the conditions are modified for reasons other than the borrower's financial difficulties and are analogous to those applied in the market at the date of the modification to transactions granted to customers with a similar risk profile.
Rollover transaction: a transaction executed to replace another previously granted by the entity itself without the borrower having any financial difficulties or foreseeably having any in the future, i.e. the transaction takes place for reasons other than refinancing.
Renegotiated transaction: a transaction whose financial terms and conditions are changed without the borrower having any financial difficulties or foreseeably having any in the future; i.e. the terms and conditions are changed for reasons other than restructuring.

In any case, for a transaction to be classified as a rollover or as renegotiated, the borrowers must be able to obtain transactions on the market and at the date of the rollover or renegotiation for a similar amount and under substantially similar financial conditions to those applied by the Bank, and these must also be in line with those granted at that date to other borrowers with a similar risk profile.

Structural and market risks

Structural liquidity risk

Structural liquidity risk is associated with the Entity's ability to meet its payment obligations and fund its lending activity. The Bank actively monitors its liquidity position and forecasts, as well as the actions to taken both in business as usual market situations and in exceptional circumstances arising due to internal causes or market behaviours.

The ALCO is in charge of managing this risk by delegation of the board of directors.

The liquidity management principles, strategies and practices are set out in the Liquidity Planning Framework and that the ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its day-today liquidity obligations and to cope during a period of liquidity stress. Liquidity management is underpinned by the following strategic principles:

Limited reliance on wholesale markets to fund operations through balanced growth in retail funds.
Diversification of wholesale funding sources by instruments and markets, and maintenance a balanced maturity schedule.

To comply with these principles, the following strategic liquidity management lines have been established:

Maintaining the customer funding gap with a loan-to-deposit (LtD) ratio below 120%
Being present in all wholesale markets, with frequent issues depending on market needs and opportunities
Offering maximum transparency to investors and regularly providing them with information on Bankinter
Keeping an adequate wholesale maturities profile and avoiding credit risk concentrations
Maintaining a sufficient buffer of liquid assets to cover a possible shutdown of wholesale markets

Customer funds increased by more than 7,000 million euros in 2021, with the balance at yearend representing 108.5% of loans and receivables, up from 103.2% the year before. Customer loans grew by 3,458 million euros, leaving the customer funding gap (i.e. the difference between loans and funds) at -4,730 million euros. This was more than 3,600 million euros lower than at the end of 2020. The banking business in Spain's customer funding gap decreased by 3,264 million euros thanks to strong growth in customer funds, which easily outstripped the liquidity requirements generated by the growth of loans and receivables. The banking business Portugal helped to narrow the customer funding gap by an additional 703 million euros. However, these reductions were partially offset by EVO Banco, which saw its customer funding gap widen by 353 million euros, with customer loans growing more than customer funds.

In wholesale funding, a 750 million euro subordinated debt issue was carried out in June, with strong take-up by wholesale investors. The improved liquidity position drove significant growth in the liquidity buffer, leaving the LCR well above both internal and regulatory limits. The LCR stood at 228.6% at year-end 2021, up from 198.1% at year-end 2020.

Wholesale funding maturities are distributed over time so as to minimise refinancing difficulties.

Moreover, the measures used by the market risks department to control liquidity risk include verifying compliance with the limits set by the board and delegated to the market risk offers and the ALCO. The market risks department calculates the limits based on information prepared for the various regulators.

The limits are grouped into large classes:

1) Determining the liquidity buffer

The Bank uses both the definition of regulatory LCR and a similar ratio extended to 90 days and with a definition of liquid assets in accordance with assets accepted by the European Central Bank as collateral for liquidity. Another reference for calculating the liquidity buffer is the schedule of maturities of wholesale issues over the ensuing months.

2) Wholesale funding concentration ratios

With the aim of not subjecting Bankinter to stress as a result of a possible sudden shutdown of the wholesale markets, limits are established on short-term wholesale funding, as well as on the concentration of issue maturities.

3) Ratio of stable deposits to total loans.

In order to reduce the reliance on wholesale funding, a minimum ratio of stable deposits to total loans is established. In order to establish the stability of the deposits, the regulatory definition of the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) and the experience of the Spanish financial sector are combined.

In addition to the limits established by the board of directors, trends in the liquidity gap or liquidity map are monitored, and information is obtained and analyses performed on the specific situation of balances resulting from commercial transactions, wholesale maturities, interbank assets and liabilities and other funding sources. These analyses are performed both under normal market conditions and simulating different scenarios of liquidity needs that could arising from different business conditions or changes in market conditions.

For contingent liabilities shown below, 16,959 million euros are stated as demand deposits, but this does not mean they will be demanded in the immediate future. Credit accounts, which make up the bulk of the amount, are drawn by customers depending on their financing needs over time.

Bankinter has implemented a liquidity contingency plan that specifies the persons responsible and the lines of action to take in order to raise liquidity in the event of adverse conditions in financial markets. This plan identifies three levels of alert: minor problems, serious problems and severe liquidity crisis. Besides including the procedure for identification, it outlines the action to take for persons affected in each scenario. The activation of the contingency plan is also decided by the ALCO. The alerts included in the contingency plan are monitored by both the balance sheet management and market risk areas, which notify the ALCO members in the event of deterioration of the objective conditions identified.

Structural interest rate risk

Structural interest rate risk is the Group's exposure to changes in market interest rates arising from the different timing structure of maturities and repricing of global balance sheet items.

The Group actively manages this risk to protect net interest income and preserve the Group's economic value in the event of fluctuations in interest rates.

To control exposure to structural interest rate risk, the Group has established a limits structure that is reviewed and approved annually by the parent company's board of directors in accordance with the Group's risk management strategies and policies.

The Group has tools to control and monitor structural interest rate risk. The main measurements used by the Group to manage and control the interest rate risk profile approved by the board of directors of the parent company are as follows:

a) Sensitivity of net interest income:

The exposure of net interest income to different scenarios of interest rate fluctuations and for a 12-month time horizon is measured monthly using dynamic measurements. The sensitivity of net interest income is obtained as the difference between the net interest income projected with the market curves at each analysis date and the net interest income projected with the interest rate curves altered in different scenarios, of both parallel movements of interest rates and changes in the slope of the curve.

The sensitivity of the Group's net interest income to parallel shifts of 100 basis points in market interest rates is approximately +9.3% for increases and -2.5% for decreases, both for a 12-month horizon, under the Group's management assumptions.

b) Sensitivity of economic value:

This is a supplementary measure to the two previous measures and is calculated monthly. It allows the Group to quantify the exposure of its economic value to interest rate risk, and it is obtained as the difference between the net present value of the items sensitive to the interest rates calculated using the interest rate curves in different scenarios and the curve quoted in the market at each analysis date.

The sensitivity of economic value to parallel shifts of +/- 100 basis points was +6.8% and -8.2%, respectively, of own funds at year-end 2021. The scenario of interest-rate cuts considers more negative rates than at present. Management assumptions were used to calculate both measures, considering negative interest rates, except for items with a Euribor floor.

Market risk

The board of directors delegates proprietary trading in financial markets to the general capital markets management area through the trading area. The financial instruments traded must be sufficiently liquid and be associated with hedging instruments. The risk that may arise from managing the Bank's proprietary accounts relates to changes in interest rates, stock market prices, exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads.

The board of directors delegates to the ALCO the continuous monitoring of the proprietary trading activities carried out by treasury's trading area and establishes maximum limits for authorisation of the possible excesses that may occur in this activity.

Market risk, which reports to the managing director of risk/CRO, independently measures, monitors and controls the Bank's market risks and the limits delegated by the board.

Market risk is measured mainly using the Value at Risk (VaR) methodology.

Value at Risk (VaR)

Value at Risk (VaR) is defined as the maximum expected loss in a given portfolio of financial instruments, in normal market conditions, for a specific confidence interval and time horizon as a result of variations in market prices and variables.

VaR is the principal indicator daily by Bankinter to comprehensively and globally measure and control exposure to market risk due to interest rates, equity, exchange rates, volatility and credit.

The historical simulation approach is used to measure VaR. VaR is calculated with a 95% confidence interval and a 1-day time horizon, although additional monitoring is carried out with other confidence intervals.

Set out below are comparative figures of VaR by risk factor for 2021 and 2020 of the Group's positions in overall figures and by portfolio:

VaR financial assets held for		VaR financial assets held for

Moreover, the VaR of the portfolio positions of the Bankinter Luxembourgh subsidiary are monitored on a monthly basis using the historical simulation approach. The estimated VaR of Bankinter Luxembourg in its financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for 2021 was 0.06 million euros.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of incurring losses from failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events, including legal risks. These are risks encountered in processes and generated internally by people and systems or that arise as a result of external agents, such as natural disasters.

Bankinter's operational risk management model is the "standardised approach" in accordance with prevailing solvency regulations. This method requires the existence of systems for identifying, measuring and managing operational risks with prior authorisation by Banco de España and an annual audit. Bankinter ensures access to best sector management practices by participating in the Spanish Operational Risk Consortium (Consorcio Español de Riesgo de Operacional), a forum of financial institutions for sharing experiences regarding operational risk management.

Principles of action and management framework

With a view to achieving an adequate system for managing operational risk, Bankinter has established the following basic principles of action:

The main goal is to identify and mitigate the major operational risks, seeking to minimise any possible losses.
Systematic procedures are defined for assessing, analysing, measuring and reporting risks.
In order to explore all the institution's activities to inventory operational risks, the business units are established as the analysis unit such that, after analysing the risks of the units, the Entity's total risks are arrived at by aggregation.

The main elements of Bankinter's operational risk management framework are:

Identification and assessment of risks, by developing risk maps that estimate the importance of the risk and assess the appropriateness of its control environment.
Registration of loss events, with information on their management.
Preparation of continuity and contingency plans, outlining the alternative procedures to business as usual to restore critical services in the event of interruptions.
Generation and dissemination of management information adapted to the needs of each governing body.

Governance structure

Bankinter follows a decentralised model in which ultimate responsibility for managing operational risk falls on the respective business and support units.

For governance purposes, the following control bodies and lines of responsibility have been established:

Board of directors: It approves the policies and the management framework, establishing the level of risk that Bankinter is willing to assume.
Risk committee: It assumes the following operational risk management functions:
- Promote the implementation of operational risk management policies.
- Monitor the significant operational risks.
Resolve conflicts of responsibility and decide on the proposals made by the operational risk area.
The products and operational risk committee. It assumes the following operational risk management functions:
- Oversee compliance with procedures for identifying and assessing operational risks associated with the launch of new products and business lines. Authorise or reject, as appropriate, the sale of products with relevant operational risks.
- Review operational risks associated with the sale of existing products, their sales policies and the materialisation of these risks in relations with customers, partners and suppliers.
- Monitor plans for mitigating the risks associated with launching and selling products and services.
- Monitor and analyse the main indicators associated with operational risk management, such as operational losses, monitoring of current or potential risks, monitoring the effectiveness of controls, monitoring the risk profile and appetite.
Operational risk: It assumes the following functions:
- Promote the management of operational risks in the areas and units, encouraging their identification, allocation of responsibility, establishment of controls, generation of indicators, design of mitigation plans, regular review and the actions to be taken in the event of new losses or material risks.
- Provide the areas with the necessary methodologies, tools and procedures for managing their risks.
- Promote the design of business continuity plans that are appropriate and in proportion to the size and activity of the Bank in the units that require them.
- Ensure that the Bank's operational losses are correctly and accurately recorded.
- Provide the organisation with a uniform vision of its exposure to operational risk, identifying, integrating and assessing existing operational risks.
- Provide the information on operational risk for disclosure to regulators, supervisors and external institutions.
Business units: They have the following functions:
- Manage operational risks and specifically, identify, assess, monitor, analyse, mitigate and control the operational risks on which they have the ability to act.
- Record incidents and communicate the operational losses incurred in their business activities.
Study, define, prioritise and fund plans to mitigate the operational risks under their management.
Maintain and test the business continuity plans for which they are responsible.

With regard to loss events databases, Bankinter's operational risk profile is summarised in the charts below:

Insurance in operational risk management

Bankinter uses insurance as a key element in managing certain operational risks, thereby complementing the mitigation of those risks that require it due to their nature. Accordingly, the insurance area, together with the Bankinter various other areas and taking into account the operational risk assessments and loss history, assesses the advisability of modifying the scope of coverage of the insurance policies for the various operational risks.

Examples are the insurance taken out with various companies of recognised solvency for contingencies affecting the Bank's property (e.g. earthquake, fire insurance), internal or external fraud (e.g. robbery, embezzlement), employees' civil liability, etc.

Reputational risk

Reputational risk is the risk arising when the expectations of stakeholders (e.g. customers, shareholders, employees, investors) are not met and their reaction can adversely affect existing or new business relationships with them.

They are unique because they depend on external assessments and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including other risks. This is particularly important against a backdrop characterised by immediate and easy access to communication.

The reputational risk management model involves preventing such risks, identifying and controlling them proactively to reduce their probability of occurrence and mitigate their impact. The entity has various tools at its disposal for this:

Regular measurement of the perception and expectations of the main stakeholders (through customer satisfaction, internal climate, perception and customer and non-customer surveys using RepTrak® methodology, analyst ratings, etc.).
Monitoring and analysis of mentions of the entity in conventional and social media, in addition to active listening to gauge trends in the market and environment.
Assessment of reputational risk before marketing a product, outsourcing a service or partnering with a third party.
Reputational risk map, with a series of KPIs, impact and control metrics, including the main ones in the risk appetite framework and the internal reporting system.
Crisis management protocol to preserve reputation and business continuity.
Employee training and awareness-raising within the Bank to reinforce a preventive culture.
Monitoring and analysis of mentions of the entity in conventional and social media, in addition to active listening to gauge trends in the market and environment.
Crisis management protocol to preserve reputation and business continuity.

Throughout 2021, the Bank made progress in updating the repertoire of reputational risk events and developing a global reputational risk exposure indicator.

Legal risk

Bankinter's lending transactions, retail mortgage segment and denominated in foreign currency ("multicurrency loans"): the Parent has received claims whose estimated obligations have been recognised by the Bank at 31 December 2021 under "Other provisions" (Note 20). The Bank has also been notified of two lawsuits filed by two consumer associations in 2016 and 2018, respectively, which claim to represent Bankinter's consumer customers with multi-currency mortgages.

Regarding the proceeding initiated in 2016, Bankinter submitted its reply to the lawsuit on 17 May 2021. It is still ongoing, with no ruling having been made regarding the underlying case.

As for the lawsuit notified in 2018, on 18 October 2021, after a pre-trial hearing, the competent court issued an order dismissing the proceedings after accepting the procedural plea of lis pendens filed by Bankinter (as the proceedings initiated in 2016 referred to above were still ongoing). That order became final and the proceedings were dimissed definitively.

The Entity has policies and procedures aimed at adequately managing the legal risk arising from these transactions. Some of the main features can be summarised as follows:

The Entity has a policy for estimating legal provisions, defined in Note 20, which includes regular monitoring of the main variables, such as the average record of adverse rulings handed down against the Entity and the average loss per case, in order to estimate the allowances necessary for the legal risk associated with the transactions against which claims are filed.
The Entity carries out an individual analysis, by court and by geographical area, of the key factors that give rise to the adverse rulings in the judgements received, and their possible ramifications on the maximum risk and the estimate, at each review date, of the legal provisions required and associated with multicurrency loan transactions. The Entity also tracks case law handed issued by the Supreme Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union, assessing potential impacts on the Entity's multi-currency loan portfolio with the assistance of independent experts.
The Entity has also identified the multicurrency mortgage loan portfolio as a separate segment within the mortgage loan portfolio. In this regard, to calculate the expected loss on multicurrency loans, the Entity's internal models include certain elements that affect the estimate of the probability of default and loss given default associated with these transactions, resulting in greater coverage of credit risk for the multicurrency loan segment.

The Entity considers that the provisions recognised at 31 December 2021 were sufficient to cover any potential losses arising from the multicurrency loan portfolio and to face the outcome of any risks that may affect it.

Climate change risk

In line with supervisory expectations, Bankinter is actively working to identify, assess, manage and reduce the impact of climate change on its loan book. It has set up the following lines of work: Identification and measurement, assessment, action and monitoring.

Identification and measurement:

A large portion of data used are estimates and weights due to the scant information and previous measurements available. While it gathers specific information from customers, Bankinter uses a variety of methods to estimate these risks:

The PCAF approach for calculating financed emissions. According to this approach, Bankinter's financed emissions generated by companies in Spain through loans and investments of 27,051 million euros amount to 1.8 million tonnes. Thanks to the composition of our portfolio, with less financing of high emission intensity industries (e.g. agriculture or refineries) and the significant weight of renewables in energy financing, we have a better starting point than the system.
Bankinter has implemented a system of assigning a climate rating to all companies that tells how likely they are to be affected by climate change risks, so it can initiate dialogue with them for an assessment.
In the mortgage portfolio, Bankinter is taking part in an industry project to secure energy efficiency certificates for all its mortgaged properties.

Assessment

Bankinter is aware that this poses a serious challenge to financial institutions because of the potential long-term effects, the problems obtaining reliable and verified data, and how new the exercises are. Therefore, it is working on three methodological approaches, in line with the recommendations by the EBA in the "EBA Report on management and supervision of ESG risks for credit institutions and investment firms":

Portfolio alignment. Measuring financed emissions allows financial institutions to have a decarbonisation strategy and build characteristics on concentrations of direct and indirect emissions, and carbon footprint by branch of activity.
Sensitivity analysis, including the European Central Bank 2022 stress test. Bankinter is also developing its own climate sensitivity analyses in line with NGFS scenarios and projections, assessing the potential impact by sector of activity and the long-term effects.
Exposure method, which entails understanding the risks to which customers are exposed and how they are mitigating, or plan to mitigate, them. This climate rating system has been implemented to Corporate Banking in Spain and Portugal.

Action.

This entails essential two lines of action

Inclusion of climate change risk in the credit risk approval process.

The corporate climate rating has been implemented in the risk approval process since October 2021. This aim is focus dialogue with customers, especially those exposed to higher levels of risk. By doing this, we incorporate climate and environmental factors into our risk decision-making and attempt to identify opportunities to assist these customers financially in their transition.

Definition of a new business strategy because of climate change risk. Bankinter is working on the four pillars that should underpin this according to the EBA guide of October 2021:

Sustainability policy. Bankinter has been managing sustainability for over a decade now through successive policies and strategic plans. It is also a signatory of the leading international sustainability and climate change initiatives and commitments; e.g. the United Nations Global Compact, the Equator Principles, UNEPFI (the United Nations Environment Programme Financial Initiative), the Responsible banking Principles and the Net Zero Banking Alliance.
Scenario analysis. Using the baseline scenario; i.e. Net Zero 2050, and assessing the entity's strength according to its strategy and assuming that a set of other plausible scenarios may occur.
Decarbonisation strategy, which entails setting long-term financed emission reduction targets. These will be delivered mostly by meeting national decarbonisation targets. Bankinter aims to pursue an inclusive policy; i.e. not abandon sectors, but rather help companies invest to decarbonise.
Sustainable businesses. Bankinter has designed several products linked to sustainability criteria; e.g. sustainable investment funds, green mortgages, debt issues, renewable energy project finance, alternative venture capital funds, pension funds managed using sustainability criteria and financing of energy efficiency activities in homeowners' associations.

Disclosure and monitoring

Lastly, a project was launched last year aimed at making progress in defining climate risk KPIs in the loan book and including them in Bankinter's management systems, accessible by Bankinter staff for monitoring and management, and new, regular reporting to senior management and the board of directors with close monitoring of this activity.

Despite the lack of specific customer information and the uncertainty regarding climate risk at present, this risk is not expected to have a material short-term impact on the Group's financial statements based on the estimates and weightings used by the Group and its active management to identify, assess and reduce this risk.

IBOR reform

In 2014, the Financial Stability Board recommended reforms to interest rate benchmarks (e.g. interbank offered rates, or IBOR) to strengthen existing benchmarks and ensure their sustainability. Since then, public authorities in several jurisdictions have made considerable progress implement the reform of interest rate benchmarks, urging market participants to ensure their timely transition toward the reform of interest rate benchmarks, including replacing reference rates with alternative reference rates. These reforms affected widely used indices, e.g. LIBOR and, in the euro area, the EONIA and EURIBOR.

As a result, currency/jurisdictional task forces were set up to define and promote adoption of these alternative risk-free reference rates.

Despite the measures taken by UK authorities to strengthen the LIBOR, they still had too many concerns about its sustainability, because of its lower liquidity of the money market and, accordingly, the low volume of underlying transactions. Therefore, in July 2017 the British FCA said it would no longer oblige LIBOR panel banks to continue contributing to the LIBOR as of end-2021. Consequently, it recommended they cease publishing LIBOR by the end of 2021 and urged them to stop entering into new contracts using the index as soon as they could and, in any case, by 31 December 2021.

In the euro area, the recommendations were articulated in the 2016 publication of the European Benchmark Regulation (BMR), effective from 1 January 2018. Regulatory efforts focused on different approach, based on continuity of the EURIBOR index (applying a clearer, more transparent and robust calculation methodology) and creation of a risk-free rate, the €STR published by the ECB since October 2019, which will replace the EONIA as of January 2022.

On 5 March 2021, the British authorities formally announced the LIBOR cessation as at 31 December 2021 in all its settings and currencies, except USD, whose publication will continue until 30 June 2023 to facilitate the transition of existing contracts (which is necessary consider that the USD index is the most widely used in the world).

The LIBOR's disappearance means that market must transition to alternative rates that, in accordance with the recommendations of the FSB and other authorities, must be based on the risk-free rates identified in each: SONIA as a replacement for GDP LIBOR benchmarks, SOFR for the USD LIBOR, SARON for the Swiss franc benchmark, TONAR for JPY LIBOR and €STR for the EUR LIBOR.

The transition to risk-free rates is evidently one of the most complex issues facing the financial industry at present. The impact is corporate-wide, involving practically all the Bank's operations, transactions, contracts, market risks, accounting, etc. To help banks that use the benchmark in their financial transaction and contracts adequately manage the transition, the CNMV has stressed the importance of monitoring the developments and actions of the working groups, the main advances in the reform process, and the identification and assessment of the risks and possible impacts arising from their exposure.

It also recommends designing an overall strategy for planning the related implementation actions and having an adequate organisational structure to coordinate the design and implementation of the transition.

To ensure a smooth transition, minimise risks and address both current and future issues resulting from the reform, Bankinter Group set up a working group, which reports to the management committee, composed of members from all the areas involved; i.e. Operations, Legal department, Financial department, Risk area, Treasury, Products and Commercial Segments.

This team launched a project that considers all products, systems and processes affected by the benchmark reform, and different paces at which the indices will be discontinued, depending on the currency.

All positions position were identified and, accordingly, the economic, operational, legal, financial and reputational risks associated with the change in benchmark indices was assessed. Different lines of work were designed, while technical changes were also made to processes and applications, employee training, communication to customers affected by some of the indexes that are disappearing, rewording of contract clauses, and participation in working groups and forums.

A great deal of the work last year focused on preparing the Entity to operate with the new, alternative rates proposed by the working groups of the main monetary areas and on managing the change of indices in outstanding products whose benchmarks have been discontinued.

Bankinter Group's exposure to the LIBOR is limited relative to its total balance sheet. Therefore, the impact of the reform is not material for any of its products: loans, credits, hedges, etc.

Exposure is concentrated primarily in USD-denominated loans and credits and JPY-denominated mortgage loans. Other LIBOR currencies affect some of the Group's products, but do not pose any significant risk.

Below is the detail of the carrying amount as at 31 December 2021 of loans and advances and deposits referenced to the indices subject to the reform.

45. Disclosures regarding the mortgage market

The board of directors of Bankinter declares that the Bank has express policies and procedures in place to carry out its business activities in the mortgage market. It is responsible for complying with all mortgage market regulations and as such has approved these policies and procedures.

Each year, the board of directors sets out the basic principles regarding its risk policy for each business segment in a document titled The Risk Management and Control Framework. The board also approves a responsible lending policy, in accordance with the Transparency Act, which sets forth the principles that the Bank has always applied in this field.

Bankinter has adapted its products and processes to the Real Estate Credit Act 5/2019.

The policies regarding the granting of mortgage loans include, , the following criteria:

The ratio between the loan amount and the appraisal value of the mortgaged property, as well as the existence of other guarantees and collateral.
The ratio between the borrower's debt and income, as well as verification of the information provided by the borrower and its solvency.

The key elements of the risk policies for this product are:

Automatic authorisation and discrimination by rating.

In home mortgage loan transactions the maximum authorisation is sought via automatic systems.
Bankinter has an internal rating model, developed and improved over the years, based on statistical systems in accordance with solvency regulations. Obtaining a rating for each transaction implies a certain probability of default, which is estimated on the basis of historical performances and projections of future

scenarios. The rating is the main indicator of transaction quality and the main variable in the automatic authorisation and in manual approval.

• The internal rating model and risk policies are reviewed regularly to adapt them to the economic and social situation at any given time.

Customer classification and repayment capacity

Transactions are accepted based on an individual study of customers, the rating and economic capacity. Prices are customised according to the transaction rating and the customer's socio-economic profile.
The maximum burden that customers may take on must always be taken into account. The following information must be available in order to make this calculation: servicing of all debts in the financial system and their net recurring income (extraordinary income should not be taken into account). This verifies whether the final disposable net income is enough to service the financing and usual expenses. The documentation used to calculate the burden of the transaction is tax related, and must be as up-to-date as possible.

Financing the primary residence and second home.

• Broadly speaking, Bankinter's mortgage loan policy targets financing of primary residences and second homes for individuals, and not investment financings.

LTV (Loan to Value; relationship between the amount of the loan and the value of the property).

The Bank's general policy is to finance homes up to an LTV of 80%. Exceptionally, for transactions involving customers with a high socio-economic profile, and a strong repayment ability and solvency, a higher LTV may be permitted. It also factors in the location and features of the property used as collateral. The collateral must be appraised correctly, both on authorisation of the transaction and throughout its life.
On authorisation, the value of the collateral will be determined by the lower of the official appraisal or the purchase value executed by deed. There may not be any major difference between the two values.

Non-residents

• In these transactions, the required debt burden ratio is stricter.

Type of asset

• The home subject to finance must be located in established areas or urban locations, where there must be a real estate market with extensive supply and demand.

Standardisation of the mortgage process

Standardisation is crucial to achieve a process where efficiency is its core element, particularly in retail commercial banking.
End-to-end management of the process and coordination with all parties involved (mostly agencies and appraisal companies) is entrusted to a specialised department, which is in charge of establishing the procedures, applications, organisation and control of the process. This ensures that the process will be undertaken correctly, with optimal customer service and excellent credit quality in mortgage transactions.

Independent appraisal process

• The appraisal process is completely independent of the commercial network. Generally speaking, it is carried out centrally and the appraiser appointed for each appraisal is selected randomly. This ensures that the transactions carried out by a branch have been appraised by different appraisal companies.

Monitoring of the real estate market

• Official reports are collected and examined on a regular basis so as to monitor the value on the real estate market. The value of the mortgage collateral is updated in accordance with prevailing legislation.

Multi-currency

• Given the volatility of the currency-linked portfolio, specific monitoring and control is performed. This product is not marketed at present (see Note 44).

Sales policy for foreclosed assets

Prior to foreclosure, the team of specialised professionals forming the real estate assets unit first conducts an on-site inspection of the property to perform a technical analysis that covers the characteristics, type, description and condition of the property, as well as a study of the market and prices in the area.

Selling prices are set centrally based on objective criteria and are reviewed periodically to ensure that they are in line with the market, following an active real estate management policy as quickly and efficiently as possible.

For the sale of real estate assets, the Bank has created a network of external partners specialising in the property market. These specialist partners are selected individually based on their proximity, knowledge of the local market and product suitability. The effectiveness of this network is monitored closely, with daily contact and assessment of the level of sales and commitments.

By way of sales support the Bank relies on:

The branch network, which has a financial incentive for referring potential buyers.
Its own real estate portal on the Bank's website: https://www.bankinter.com/www/es es/cgi/ebk+inm+home
The assets are published on the main national portals.
Sales service call centre.
An active policy is in place aimed at studying the possibility of disposing of the entire portfolio or in batches of foreclosed assets.

Land and construction in progress

Due to the highly restrictive risk policy on developer finance, the amount for foreclosed land is low relative to the Bank's share and particularly compared to the banking sector as a whole.

Knowing the developer, the size of the development and the risk policy pursued has enabled us to support these developers to ensure at least that the financed projects are completed. Therefore, there are virtually no developments in progress among the foreclosed assets. In any case, the land management policy is aimed at establishing controls to prevent impairment of the asset and improving its condition to ensure a quick sale.

Specific examples of these procedures include:

Selecting and controlling specialist service providers to resolve planning issues with land and unfinished developments, accepting budgets and monitoring budget execution.
Supervising and monitoring the procedures to obtain the necessary sale permits from official bodies or municipalities.
Proposing the analysis of viability studies for the real estate development to investors and property promoters.

Policy on lending to problematic real estate developers

Bankinter maintains a limited risk appetite in this business, closely monitoring exposures to ensure that they are within the authorised frameworks and that the strict risk policy established for authorisation of the developer loan transactions is respected scrupulously.

48. Own funds and minimum reserves.

a) Own funds

Applicable legislation

At 31 December 2021, the Bankinter Group's consolidated eligible capital was are calculated in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 876/2019 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending the previous Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms, and Directive 2019/878/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, amending Directive 2013/36/EU on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions. Both regulations govern the levels of solvency and composition of eligible capital with which credit institutions must operate. In 2020, to mitigate the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial system, the European Parliament and the European Council approved Regulation 2020/873 ('CRR Quick Fix') which amends both Regulation 575/2013 ('CRR') and Regulation 2019/876 ('CRR2') including certain measures that contribute positively to capital ratios, highlighting the new support factors for SMEs and infrastructures, which reduce capital consumption and the level of risk-weighted assets (RWAs).

The minimum capital requirements are calculated, in compliance with these regulations, on the basis of the Group's exposure to credit and dilution risk, counterparty risk, market risk of the trading book, foreign currency risk and operational risk. The Group is also subject to compliance with limits to large exposures, with liquidity and leverage ratios and with the internal corporate governance obligations established by law.

The Bankinter Group requested from its supervisor an exemption from individual compliance with the requirements established in solvency regulations for Bankinter, S.A. and Bankinter Consumer Finance, E.F.C., S.A. for purposes of efficiency and better management and since, given that the Group's characteristics, the adequate distribution of own funds between the parent undertaking and its subsidiaries is guaranteed. The supervisor authorised both exemptions on 8 October 2009.

The change in the Tier 2 capital ratio (TIER 2) was driven by the 750 million euro subordinated debt issue in June 2021 to replace the 500 million issue, the early redemption of which was requested for 2022.

Management of own funds

The principle laid down by Bankinter's Board of Directors in relation to the management of own funds consists of operating with a level of solvency in excess of the level established by applicable legislation adapted to the risks inherent in its business and its operating environment. The goal is the continuous reinforcement of solvency as a basis for sustained growth and creating longterm value for shareholders.

To meet this objective, the Bank has a number of management processes and policies for managing own funds, the main guidelines of which are:

The board of directors and senior management are actively involved in the strategies and policies affecting the Group's capital management.
The Group's capital management is based on the following fundamental pillars:
- Maintaining robust solvency ratios and adequate quality, consistent with the Bank's risk profile and business model.
- Maximising return on capital and sustained value creation over time without losing focus on preserving the Bank's solvency and ensuring it adapts to its entity's risk profile, balancing solvency and profitability to maintain sounds ratios and capital composition.
The capital management and monitoring function is independent from the areas in charge of managing, developing and maintaining risk measurement methodologies and the areas that validate, control and independently review the results.
Internal ratings-based (IRB) approaches are used to measure risk and calculate the own fund requirements for certain credit portfolios, which have been validated and approved by the supervisor.

The Bank considers its eligible own funds and own funds requirements established by regulations as key elements of its management, which affect investment decisions, the analysis of the viability of transactions, the strategy for distributing profit or loss and issues by the Parent, subsidiaries and the Group, etc.

b) Minimum reserves ratio

At 31 December 2021 and 2020, and throughout 2021 and 2020, the consolidated entities met the minimum reserves ratio required by applicable legislation.

The cash held by the Group in Banco de España accounts for these purposes amounted to 21,688,081 thousand and 14,355,766 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, the obligation to maintain the balance required by applicable legislation of the various Group companies subject to this ratio for compliance with the minimum reserve ratio is calculated using the average balances at the end of the day held by each Group company in this account over the holding period.

APPENDIX II - Standards and interpretations

Mandatory standards, amendments and interpretations for all annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 [IAS 8.28]

IFRS 9 (Amendment), IAS 39 (Amendment), IFRS 7 (Amendment), IFRS 4 (Amendment) and IFRS 16 (Amendment) "Interest rate benchmark reform: Stage 2": The IASB has undertaken a twostage project to consider what exemptions, if any, are required for the purposes of the reform of interest rate benchmarks (the "IBORs"). The Stage 1 amendments, issued in September 2019, provided temporary exemptions from the application of specific hedge accounting requirements to relationships affected by uncertainties arising from the IBOR reform ("the Stage 1 exemptions"). The Stage 2 amendments address issues arising from the implementation of the reforms, including the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one.

These amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. Earlier application is permitted.

Adoption of this standard did not have any significant impacts on the Group's profit or loss in 2021.

IFRS 4 (Amendment) "Extension of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9": Following

the deferral of the effective date of IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts", the amendment changes the expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 "Insurance contracts" from the application of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", requiring entities to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, rather than 1 January 2021.

Adoption of this standard did not have any significant impacts on the Group's profit or loss in 2021.

IFRS 16 (Amendment) "COVID-19-related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021": The IASB has extended the application period of the practical option for IFRS 16 "Leases" by one year, to help lessees account for rent concessions related to COVID-19.

Therefore, this practical option applies to rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, but only if all of the following conditions are met:

the change in the lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
any reduction in lease payments affects only payments due on or before 30 June 2022; and
there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

For IFRS-EU, entities must apply those amendments as of 1 April 2021 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

Adoption of this standard did not have any material impacts on the Group's profit or loss in 2021.

Standards, amendments and interpretations that have not yet become effective but may be adopted early [IAS 8.29]

IAS 16 (Amendment) "Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use": The amendments prohibit entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendment also clarifies that an entity is testing whether the asset is functioning properly when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment. An asset might therefore be capable of operating as intended by management and subject to depreciation before it has achieved the level of operating performance expected by management. The amendments are effective from 1 January 2022.
