Important methodological note

July 2019 saw completion of the extraordinary transactions announced in February, namely the acquisition of an additional shareholding in Arca Holding, the acquisition of the minority interests in Banco di Sardegna and the acquisition of 100% of Unipol Banca with the simultaneous sale to UnipolReC of bad loans for a gross carrying amount of around € 1 billion.

These transactions took effect for accounting purposes from 1 July 2019 and Unipol Banca and ARCA Holding Spa were included in the scope of consolidation of the BPER Group from the same date.

The balance sheet figures at 31 December 2019 include the assets and liabilities of the new companies forming part of the Group scope and their income statement figures have been included from the 3rd quarter onwards.

It should also be noted that as a result of these transactions, the accounting figures at 31 December 2019 are not comparable with those of the previous year, which also included nonrecurring gains realised on debt securities.

Reclassified financial statement of BPER Group as at 31.12.19

For greater clarity in the presentation of the results for the year, the accounting schedules envisaged by the 6th update of Bank of Italy Circular no. 262/2005 have been reclassified as follows.

In the balance sheet:

  • Debt securities valued at amortised cost (caption 40 "Financial assets measured at amortised cost") have been reclassified under caption "Financial assets";
  • "Other assets"include captions 110 "Tax assets", 120 "Non current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale" and 130 "Other assets";
  • "Other liabilities"include captions 60 "Tax liabilities", 80 "Other liabilities", and 90 "Employee termination indemnities" and 100 "Provisions for risks and charges".

In the income statement:

  • "Net income from financial activities" includes captions 80, 90, 100 and 110 in the standard reporting format;
  • Indirect tax recoveries, allocated for accounting purposes to caption 230 "Other operating expense/income", have been reclassified as a reduction in the related costs under "Other administrative expenses" (Euro 137,269 thousand at 31 December 2019 and Euro 126,014 thousand at 31 December 2018);
  • "Net adjustments to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets" include captions 210 and 220 in the standard reporting format;
  • "Gains (Losses) on equity investments, disposal investments and impairment losses on goodwill" include captions 250, 270 and 280 in the reporting format;
  • "Contributions to the SRF, DGS and IDPF-VS funds" has been shown separately from the specific accounting technical forms to give a better and clearer representation, as well as to leave the "Other administrative expenses" as a better reflection of the trend in the Group's operating costs. In particular, at 31 December 2019, this caption represents the component allocated to administrative costs related to:
  • the 2019 ordinary contribution to the SRF (European Single Resolution Fund) for Euro 23,043 thousand;
  • the additional contribution required by SRF to the Italian Banks for the year 2017 equal to Euro 9,587 thousand;
  • the 2019 ordinary contribution to the DGS (Deposit Guarantee Scheme) for Euro 28,051 thousand.
  • appropriate specifications ("of which") have been included in "Net interest income", "Other administrative expenses" and "Net adjustments to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets" captions in order to highlight the impacts of IFRS 16 application (from 1 January 2019) and in "Net interest income" caption in order to highlight the impacts of IFRS 9 application (from 1 January 2018).
