Outlook for NPE production

- Ongoing reduction of legacy NPL stock between 2019-2021 thanks to servicer contributing to a liquid and functioning NPL market • Cost of risk (a proxy of future NPE production) has not decreased as significantly as the NPE stock (decreased by >100%) hinting a faster NPE generation in the future. Broadly stable in EU
- Italy and Spain below EU average and Greece aligned with EU average
-
Stabilization of stock in line with steady state, as assumed in the Business Plan, with sign of moderate uptick in NPL stocks following asset quality deterioration and lower disposals
-
Spain higher 4 bps higher than in 2019
- Greece 40% lower but still significantly higher than EU avg
- Italy 40% and below EU avg driven by use of MCC state-sponsored guarantee scheme and internal models (i.e. not sustainable in the long run)

Banks asset quality has improved significantly thanks to extraordinary disposal of NPE, but cost of risk is still high and will require an efficient NPE ecosystem in the medium term to avoid deterioration of NPE ratios again


Potential pipeline (18 months)

Potential pipeline (€bn)
- GBV inflows from New clients amount to €1.1bn, of which €553m in the Hellenic Region thanks to new portfolio Omega and Gemini transaction on secondary market.

- Lower NPL revenues by 10.2% due to lower disposals
- Lower UTP revenues by 39% (-€3m) mainly related to restructuring activities on ERB portfolios but overall Greece ahead of budget

Gross Revenues
Revenues worth €101m

• Total cost
- Operating costs broadly stable despite positive effect of provision release for former CEO variable compensation in 2023 (€5.9m) and wage inflation
- Overall cost discipline across the group with continuing effort in Spain (-17.5% operating cost) to preserve profitability in a context of declining revenues
• HR
- Increase of HR cost by 8.2% mainly driven by one-off positive effect from release of provision for former CEO's variable compensation and significant wage inflation in Italy (+15% for renewal of NCBA), all compensated by strong cost discipline across the countries.
- HR costs accounting for CEO variable compensation component in Q1 2023 lead to -4.7%

• IT, RE, and SG&A

- NRI components around €35k
• Hellenic Region
- Greece EBITDA was impacted by lower NPL and UTP collection (-6.6m), partly compensate by savings on operating costs
- Marginality will be likely restored to around 50% with a pick-up in disposals in the next quarters
• Italy
• Taking aside the CEO resignation one-off positive effect in 2023, Italy experienced EBITDA growth and EBITDA margin growth despite significant wage inflation thanks to higher NPL revenues, ancillaries and savings on HR
• Spain
• Seasonally weak quarter is bringing Spanish EBITDA in negative territory, although improving vs LY thanks to latest adjustments post SAREB and cost discipline compensating for lower revenues
EBITDA ex NRIs (€m) (*)
EBITDA ex NRIs

(**) If including the impact of variable CEO compensation in Q1 2023,, EBITDA ex other NRIs would be worth €25m (25% margin, +0.5 p.p. YoY)

Regional Performance
Note: (*) Italy excludes group HR costs

- Net provisions : €5.3m;
- IFRS-16 : €0.3m;
