Eurobank Ergasias Services and Holdings S.A. (the Company or Eurobank Holdings) isthe parent company of Eurobank S.A. (the Bank), which resulted from the demerger of Eurobank Ergasias S.A. through its banking sector's hive down that was completed in March 2020. Further information is provided in note 44 "Corporate Transformation-Hive down" of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The Company and its subsidiaries (the Group), consisting mainly of Eurobank S.A. Group (note 17.2), are active in retail, corporate and private banking, asset management, treasury, capital markets and other services. The Group operates mainly in Greece and in Central and Southeastern Europe. The Company is incorporated in Greece and its shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 November 2021.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as endorsed by the European Union (EU). The interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current period. Unless indicated otherwise, financial information presented in Euro has been rounded to the nearest million. The figures presented in the notes may not sum precisely to the totals provided due to rounding.
The accounting policies and methods of computation in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except as described below (note 2.1).
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the Board of the Directors considered as appropriate, taking into consideration the following:
In the nine month period ended 30 September 2021, the economy in Greece and globally has largely adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic conditions. Following the progress of the vaccination programs the latest nationwide lockdown ended in May 2021. All domestic movement restrictions were lifted and Greece reopened its borders to most international travellers. Previously suspended economic activities were allowed to resume, with certain protective measures remaining in place. Based on Hellenic Statistical Authority's (ELSTAT) provisional data, with the reopening of the economy, and helped also by a stronger-than-anticipated rebound in tourism, Greek GDP posted an annual growth of 16.2% in the second quarter of 2021 (2nd quarter 2020: -13.9%), and the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 13% in September 2021 (September 2020: 16.5%). The European Commission (EC), in its autumn economic forecasts (November 2021), estimates the real GDP growth rate in Greece at 7.1% and 5.2%, and the unemployment rate at 15.3% and 15% in 2021 and 2022 respectively. On the fiscal front, according to EC autumn economic forecasts, the general government's primary balance in European System of Accounts (ESA2010) terms in 2021 and 2022 is expected to register deficits of 7.3% and 1.4% of GDP respectively as a result of the pandemic fiscal support measures, while the gross public debt is estimated at 202.9% and 196.9% of GDP in 2021 and 2022 respectively (2020: primary deficit at 7.1% and public debt at 206.3%). The deviation from the Enhanced Surveillance (ES) primary surplus target of 3.5% of GDP in 2020 and 2021 is not considered a violation of Greece's commitments under the ES framework, as in March 2020 EC activated the general escape clause, allowing for nonpermanent deviations from the agreed fiscal paths of the member-states due to the extraordinary health and economic distress caused by the pandemic. According to the 2 June 2021 EC press release, the clause shall remain in force in 2022, and is expected to be deactivated in 2023. These forecasts may change as a result of the actual size of the public sector's support measures, the impact of economic activity on tax revenue in the second half of 2021, and the repercussions of the energy price hikes on public finances.
In response to the Covid-19 outbreak, there has been an unprecedented monetary, fiscal and regulatory support to the economy and the banking system by both Greek Government and European authorities. According to Draft Budgetary Plan 2022, the planned total measures aimed at addressing the economic and social effects of the Covid-19 pandemic amount to € 42.8 billion, out of which € 23.1 billion correspond to 2020, € 16.8 billion to 2021, and € 2.9 billion to 2022. On top of the above, the liquidity support for the Greek economy via the various EC, European Stability Mechanism (ESM), European Investment Bank (EIB), European Investment Fund (EIF), and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) initiatives announced in 2020 and 2021 exceeds € 10 billion. It includes, among others, labour market stimulus, SMEs loans, and financing for climate action and sustainable development, backing in total more than € 20 billion of investments, projects, initiatives, and loans.
On 21 July 2020, the European Council agreed on a recovery package amounting to € 807 billion (in current prices) under the EC's Next Generation EU framework in order to support the recovery and resilience of the member states' economies, out of which ca. € 32.7 billion will be available to Greece, divided into € 20 billion in grants and € 12.7 billion in loans. On 13 July 2021, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) approved the Greek national recovery and resilience plan, entitled "Greece 2.0". The disbursement of the pre-financing of € 4 billion was made in August 2021.The respective amount for the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 (MFF) is at € 1.2 trillion (in current prices), of which ca € 40 billion are available to Greece. Furthermore, on 24 March 2020, European Central Bank (ECB) established a temporary Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP), with a financial envelope of € 1,850 billion as of December 2020, out of which ca € 37 billion are available for the purchase of Greek Government Bonds (GGBs). In addition, on 12 March 2020 the ECB announced measures to support the liquidity conditions in the euro area (additional Long Term Refinancing Operations, more favorable terms for the Targeted Long Term Refinancing Operations, new Asset Purchase Programme of € 120 billion), as well as a number of temporary capital and operational relief measures to ensure that its directly supervised banks can continue to fulfil their role in funding the real economy. In the same context, on 24 June 2020 the Regulation 2020/873 (CRR quick fix) introduced targeted amendments to the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) (note 4).
During the period, the Greek State proceeded with the issuance of six bonds of various maturities. In particular, on 27 January 2021, the Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) issued a 10-year bond of € 3.5 billion at a yield of 0.807%, on 17 March 2021 a 30-year bond of € 2.5 billion at a yield of 1.956%, on 5 May 2021, a 5-year bond of € 3 billion at a yield of 0.172%, on 9 June 2021 a 10-year bond of € 2.5 billion at a yield of 0.888%, and more recently, on 1 September 2021 a 5-year bond of € 3 billion at a yield of 0.020% and a 30-year bond of € 2.5 billion at yield of 1.675%.
Regarding the outlook for the next 12 months the major macroeconomic risks and uncertainties in Greece including those related with the evolution of Covid-19 pandemic, are as follows: (a) the new wave of the pandemic in the second half of 2021 and its negative effect on the domestic, regional and / or global economy as well as the progress of the vaccination programs, (b) the actual size and duration of the fiscal measures aimed at addressing the effects of the pandemic on the real economy, and their impact on the longterm sustainability of the country's public debt, (c) the cliff effects as the temporary support measures are lifted (increase in unemployment, firm bankruptcies, and Non Performing Exposures (NPE)), (d) an exacerbation and/or prolongation of the current inflationary wave, especially in the energy sector, that could impact negatively households' disposable income and firms' profits, and exert upward pressures on sovereign and private borrowing costs, (e) the prospect of the so-called "twin deficits" (i.e. fiscal and current account deficit) becoming more structural, although currently they appear to be more a repercussion of the pandemic, (f) the absorption capacity of the NGEU and MFF funds and the attraction of new investments in the country, (g) the implementation of the reforms and privatizations' agenda in order to meet the ES and EC's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) targets and milestones, (h) the geopolitical conditions in the near or in broader region, and (i) the exacerbation of natural disasters due to the climate change and their effect on GDP, employment and fiscal balance.
Materialization of the above Covid-19 related and other risks would have potentially adverse effects on the fiscal planning of the Greek government and on the liquidity, solvency and profitability of the Greek banking sector, as well as on the realization of their NPE reduction plans. The Group is continuously monitoring the developments on the Covid-19 front and has increased its level of readiness, so asto accommodate decisions, initiatives and policiesto protect its capital and liquidity standing as well as the fulfilment, to the maximum possible degree, of its strategic and business goals for the quarters ahead, focusing primarily on the support of its clients to overcome the challenging juncture, the mitigation of "cliff effects" post the moratoria expiration (note 3), the protection of its asset base and the resilience of its pre-provision profitability. In addition, the Group, under the extraordinary circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, has proceeded with the successful implementation of its Business Continuity Plan to ensure that business is continued and critical operations are unimpededly performed. In line with authorities' instructions and recommendations, the Group has taken all the required measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees and customers (e.g. implementation of teleworking, restrictions to business trips, and medical supplies for protective equipment).
As at 30 September 2021, following the significant progress of the project "Mexico" (sale of 95% mezzanine and junior "Mexico" securitization notes) and the subsequent classification of the underlying securitized loan portfolio of € 3.2 billion (consisting primarily of NPE) as held for sale (note 15.1), the Group decreased significantly its NPE stock by € 2.8 billion to € 2.9 billion (31 December 2020: € 5.7 billion), driving the NPE ratio at 7.3% pro-forma with the recognition of "Mexico" senior notes (31 December 2020: 14%), while the NPE coverage ratio stood at 72.8% (31 December 2020: 61.8%). The net profit attributable to shareholders for the period ended 30 September 2021 amounted to € 216 million, of which € 110 million was related to the international operations (the adjusted net profit, excluding the loss of € 72 million from "Mexico" project and the restructuring costs (after tax) of € 9 million, amounted to € 298 million). The Group's Total Capital Adequacy (total CAD) and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratios, which include full year's transition effects, stood at 15.4% (31 December 2020: 16.3%) and 13% (31 December 2020: 13.9%) respectively as at 30 September 2021. Pro-forma with the derecognition of "Mexico" loans classified as held for sale, the total CAD and CET1 ratios would be 15.7%
and 13.3% respectively. In addition, the Group completed successfully the 2021 SSM stress test (ST), which was coordinated and conducted by the ECB. Under the adverse scenario, as at the end of 2023, the capital depletion in terms of the Fully Loaded (FL) CET1 ratio amounts to 433 bps and the CET1 ratio stands at 8% on a transitional basis (note 4).
In terms of liquidity, as at 30 September 2021, the Group deposits have increased by € 3.8 billion to € 51.1 billion (31 December 2020: € 47.3 billion), leading the Group's (net) loans to deposits (L/D) ratio to 73.8% pro-forma with the recognition of "Mexico" senior notes (31 December 2020: 79.1%), while the funding from the targeted long term refinancing operations of the European Central Bank – TLTRO III programme reached € 8.8 billion (31 December 2020: € 8 billion) (note 21). During the period, the Group returned to international capital markets with the Bank's issuance of two preferred senior notes of € 500 million each, in April and September respectively (note 24). The rise in high quality liquid assets of the Group led the respective Liquidity Coverage ratio (LCR) to 168% (31 December 2020: 124%). In the context of the 2021 ILAAP (Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process), the liquidity stress tests results indicate that the Bank has adequate liquidity buffer to cover the potential outflows that could occur in all scenarios both in the short term (1 month horizon) and in the medium term (1 year horizon).
The Board of Directors, acknowledging the risks of the Covid-19 pandemic to the economy and the banking system and taking into account the above factors relating to (a) the prospects for a recovery of economic activity in 2021 and onwards, (b) the Group's preprovision income generating capacity, the liquidity position and the adequacy of its capital as also evidenced by the performance to the ST, and (c) the completion of the Group's NPE reduction acceleration plan in 2020 and the significant improvement of the NPE ratio in 2021, has been satisfied that the financial statements of the Group can be prepared on a going concern basis.
The following amendments to standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU), apply from 1 January 2021:
In the context of the market-wide reform ofseveral interest rate benchmarks(referred to as''IBOR reform''), the IASB has undertaken a two-phase project to address the issues affecting financial reporting by the IBORs' replacement and considered any reliefs to be provided in order to eliminate the resulted effects. The Phase 1 amendments, adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2020, provided temporary reliefs from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to the hedging relationships affected by the IBOR reform, during the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative risk-free interest rate ("RFR").
In August 2020, the IASB issued "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform: Phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16", which addressesthe issuesthat affect financial reporting once an existing rate isreplaced with an RFR and providesspecific disclosure requirements. The Phase 2 amendments provide key reliefs related to the contractual modifications due to the reform and the hedging designations affected once the Phase 1 reliefs cease to apply.
More specifically, the amendments introduce a practical expedient if a contractual change, or changes to cash flows, result "directly" from the IBOR reform and occurs on an 'economically equivalent' basis. In these cases, changes will be accounted for by updating the effective interest rate of the financial instruments subject to reform, similar to the changes to a floating interest rate. A similar practical expedient will apply under IFRS 16 'Leases' for lessees when accounting for lease modifications required by the IBOR reform.
In addition, the Phase 2 amendments permit changes, as a result of the IBOR reform, to be performed to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk and the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged items to reflect RFR as well as amending the description of how an entity will assess the hedge effectiveness (under IAS 39 only). An entity will apply the existing requirements in IAS 39 or IFRS 9 for qualifying fair value and cash flow hedging relationships to account for any changesin the fair value of the hedged item or the hedging instrument while any resulting ineffectiveness will be recognized in the income statement. Upon changing the hedge designation, once the Phase 1 reliefs cease to apply, the amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is also assumed to be based on the RFR for the purpose of assessing whether the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur.
Based on the Phase 2 amendments, when performing a retrospective hedge effectiveness assessment under IAS 39, a company may elect to reset the cumulative fair value changes of the hedged item and hedging instrument to zero immediately after ceasing to apply the Phase 1 relief on a hedge-by-hedge basis. The Phase 2 amendments clarify that changes to the method for assessing hedge ineffectiveness due to the modifications required by the IBOR reform, will not result to the discontinuation of the hedge accounting.
As described in note 2.2.3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group elected, as a policy choice permitted under IFRS 9, to continue to apply hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. Therefore, for hedge accounting purposes, the Group applies the Phase 2 amendments to IAS 39.
The amendments to IFRS 4 are designed to allow insurers who are still applying IAS 39 to obtain the same reliefs as those provided by the amendments made to IFRS 9.
In addition, consequential amendments were made by the Phase 2 amendments to IFRS 7, to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy.
Upon transition, the adoption of the amendments had no material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements. The Group continues to assess the impact of the IBOR reform considering also the developments on the respective transition program.
As described in note 5.2.4 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group has established an internal Benchmark Reform Working Committee (the "Working Committee") consisting of representatives from competent business units across the Bank (e.g. Economic Analysis and Research, Group Market and Counterparty Risk, Legal, Group Organization & Business Analysis, Group Finance and IT) led by the Global Markets Unit, in order to manage the transition to the new RFRs, mitigate the related risks and comply with the regulatory requirements of the EU Benchmarks Regulation (BMR). During 2021, the Working Committee has mainly focused on assessing the Group's exposure to the various LIBORs per type of financial instrument, in order to set the necessary specifications in itssystems and proceed with the amendment of the contractual arrangements with counterparties, once required, whilst it follows closely all relevant developments and takes into consideration any recommendations and guidance by the competent authorities and bodies in respect of each benchmark under reform. Moreover, the Group constantly evaluates the different risks associated with the reform such as operational, legal and conduct risks, considering the compressed timeline for the transition and the large scale of the legacy contracts that need to be modified, as well as some financial risk in case that markets are disrupted due to the IBOR reform, and takes mitigation actions to eliminate the aforementioned risks such as the development of detailed plans, processes and procedures in place to support the transition to the new RFRs by their planned cessation date, new product development, as well as a client outreach programme to ensure readiness to mitigate and explain the changes and outcomes arising from the transition. Meanwhile, the Group has already determined suitable replacement benchmarks for the IBORs under cessation, while it continues its preparation for the implementation of the IBOR transition in time for the year-end 2021 target date. At the same time, the Group takes into consideration in its overall benchmark rate transition strategy, any statutory or regulatory designated replacement solutions.
As at 30 September 2021, the Group has exposure to a significant number of IBOR-linked (mainly USD, CHF LIBOR and EONIA) financial instruments such as derivatives, loans to customers and deposit contracts. In addition, the Group is exposed to a number of interest rate benchmarks within its hedge accounting relationships that mature after 31 December 2021 or 30 June 2023 for specific USD LIBOR hedges, when the transition to the new RFRs is expected to be completed. Accordingly, the uncertainty on the amount and timing of the cash flows indexed to IBOR, that still exists, could have consequences on the financial instruments' accounting treatment, mainly relating to hedge accounting and hedge designations. The Group expects that the existing hedge relationships will continue to qualify for hedge accounting and is currently reviewing the changes that will be required in the hedged documentation to reflect the amended hedge designations following the transition of IBOR rates to the new RFRs.
In June 2020, the IASB extended the fixed expiry date of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 in IFRS 4 to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, in order to align the effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.
The amendment is not relevant to the Group's activities, other than through its associate Eurolife FFH Insurance Group Holdings S.A.
In March 2021, the IASB extended by one year the application period of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 'Leases' that provides practical relief to lessees from applying the IFRS 16 guidance for lease modifications to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. In particular, based on the aforementioned extension of the practical expedient, the lessee may account for any reduction in lease payments, originally due on or before 30 June 2022, as if they were not lease modifications. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021.
The Group has early adopted the practical expedient to all rent concessions that meet the relevant conditions.
The adoption of the amendment had no significant impact on the Group's interim consolidated financial statements (note 19).
In May 2021, an IFRIC agenda decision was published that concludes about the periods ofservice over which an entity should attribute benefits under a specific retirement defined benefit plan based on the existing requirements of IAS 19. In particular, according to the above decision, the attribution of the benefit shall not begin from the start of the employment date but from the date when the employee service first leads to benefits under the terms of the plan until the date when further employee service will lead to no material amount of further benefits.
The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the above IFRIC agenda decision along with the assumptions already applied for the calculation of the Group's defined benefit obligation under the applicable labor laws and will account for any resulting adjustments, in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, as a change in the relevant accounting policy in accordance with IAS 8 ''Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors''.
In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made by Management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for those that relate to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to the estimation of the expected credit losses (ECL) on loans and advances to customers as analyzed below. Further information about the key assumptions and sources of estimation uncertainty are set out in notes 12, 13, 21, 25, 28 and 30.
The elements of the ECL models and methodologies, as these were revised in order to reflect appropriately the negative impact of Covid-19 pandemic and described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, remain applicable for the period ended 30 September 2021 with the exception of the lending exposures' segregation. In particular, with respect to the significant credit risk assessment (SICR), the Group, revisited the segregation of its lending exposures that was performed at year end 2020 and 31 March 2021 depending on whether the respective borrowers were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic or not. The above segregation was applied in order to address the fact that borrowers were not equally affected by the pandemic and the effect of moratoria and government support measures were not fully captured in the macroeconomic variables applied in the IFRS9 models. In particular, as of the second quarter of 2021, given the actual evolution of the projected macroeconomic variables in 2021 as well as the expiration of the majority of the moratoria relief measures provided by the Group, Management assessed that the abovementioned segmentation is no longer required. Accordingly, the Group ceased to segregate its lending portfolios and returned to its standard IFRS 9 approach in performing both the SICR assessment and ECL measurement.
Furthermore, with respect to the management overlays and related adjustments, despite the signs of the gradual recovery of the economy in 2021, which demonstrated resilience towards the Covid-19 crisis, the uncertainty regarding the impact of the pandemic on the macroeconomic environment and the borrowers' ability to repay their financial obligations, still remains, considering also the gradual phasing out of the support measures. Accordingly, the post model adjustment included in the impairment allowance as of 31 December 2020 remained largely unchanged as at 30 September 2021, apart from a decrease by ca. € 95 million as a result of the reclassification of Mexico loans' impairment allowance as held for sale (note 13).
The Group continues to monitor closely and constantly re-assesses all the available information for the Covid-19 pandemic, the prospects of the economies in which the Group operates (note 2), the nature, size and effectiveness of the government support measures, in order to revise its estimates and assumptions applied to the assessment of impairment losses as appropriate.
The Group has taken all appropriate actions to address liquidity difficulties of businesses and individuals caused by the limited or suspended operations of businesses due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Further information regarding the Covid-19 relief measures activated by the Group as well as the respective borrowers' eligibility criteria is provided in note 5.2.1.2 (e) of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
As at 30 September 2021, the Group's active moratoria amount to € 0.5 billion (31 December 2020: € 2.8 billion) mainly relating to Wholesale lending.
In addition to the relief measures activated by the Group, the government in the countries where the Group operates has initiated various programs, in order to stimulate liquidity and economic activity and to alleviate the consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The main programs that have been available to eligible borrowers in Greece include:
(i) State participation (of 40% or 5%) on newly disbursed loans granted by the Bank that is zero-interest bearing, accompanied with a government-subsidy for the interest bearing part of the principal (of 60% or 95% respectively) for the first 2 years (TEPIX II), (ii) State aid in the form of a guarantee for the 80% of the principal and the accrued interest during a period of 90 consecutive days, (iii) ''Gefyra I''subsidy program, applicable to the Retail lending portfolio secured with prime residence collateral, involving 9-monthsinstallments' state subsidy on existing lending exposures which in October 2021 received a 3 month extension on the subsidy (Law 4842/2021) for the existing eligible borrowers, and (iv) "Gefyra II" subsidy program (Law 4790/2021) activated in 2021, applicable to Covid-19 affected eligible small business professionals and legal entities, as well as SMEs, involving 8-months state subsidy of up to 90% of monthly installment on existing lending exposures, followed by a probation period from 6 up to 18 months, depending on the loan performance.
As of 30 September 2021, the Bank has been allotted € 0.6 billion, of which € 0.4 billion has been utilized under program i) above and € 1.5 billion, of which € 1.3 billion utilized, under program ii) above. It is noted that the credit enhancement provided by the State under program ii) above is not accounted for separately as it is integral to the loans' terms and as such any potential benefit that may arise to the Bank in the event of the borrower's default is reflected in the guaranteed loans' ECL calculation. Additionally, as at 30 September 2021, the gross carrying amount of lending exposures under "Gefyra I" and "Gefyra II" programs amounts to € 1.4 billion and € 1 billion, respectively.
In addition, starting from December 2020, the Bank signed an agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the disbursement of new loans financed by EIB as a response to the Covid-19 crisis. Moreover, on existing lending facilities in the Corporate lending portfolio, a three-month, starting from 1 January 2021 government interest subsidy program was initiated in February 2021, which could be opted in combination with the other Covid-19 relief measures. As at 30 September 2021, the gross carrying amount of lending exposures under the above interest subsidy program amounted to € 1.1 billion.
As at 30 September 2021, the gross carrying amount of loans under government support measures enacted as a response to Covid-19 pandemic in the countries that the Group operates amounts to € 268 million.
The new definition of default (DoD) for regulatory purposes introduced a new set of standards that has a significant impact on governance, data, processes, systems and credit models. The new DoD is applicable from 1 January 2021 and is set in the Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/171 and European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines (EBA/GL/2016/07). It aims at the harmonization of the definition of default across institutions and jurisdictions in the European Union.
In particular, the new DoD guidelines specify that days past due are counted from the date that both materiality thresholds are breached (an absolute amount of the total exposure and a relative as a percentage of the exposure), include conditions for a return to non-defaulted status (introduction of a probation period) and explicit criteria for classification of restructured loans as defaulted when the diminished financial obligation criterion issatisfied (difference between the net present value of cash flows before and after the restructuring exceeds the threshold of 1%).
The Group applied the new provisions of DoD, in order to identify defaulted exposures, starting from 1 January 2021, consistently across all its lending portfolios and subsidiaries, subject to local regulations and specific credit risk characteristics of each jurisdiction. Accordingly, the definition of default for accounting purposes is aligned with the new DoD, that is also the one used for internal credit risk management purposes. The implementation of the new definition of default did not have a material impact on the Group's ECL. Information regarding the impact of new DoD on the Group's regulatory capital is provided in note 4.
The Group's capital adequacy position is presented in the following table:
| 30 September | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| € million | € million | |
| Total equity | 5,470 | 5,245 |
| Add: Adjustment due to IFRS 9 transitional arrangements | 552 | 849 |
| Less: Goodwill | (2) | (1) |
| Less: Other regulatory adjustments | (577) | (489) |
| Common Equity Tier 1 Capital | 5,443 | 5,604 |
| Total Tier 1 Capital | 5,443 | 5,604 |
| Tier 2 capital-subordinated debt | 950 | 950 |
| Add: Other regulatory adjustments | 65 | - |
| Total Regulatory Capital | 6,458 | 6,554 |
| Risk Weighted Assets | 41,902 | 40,237 |
| Ratios: | % | % |
| Common Equity Tier 1 ⁽¹⁾ | 13.0 | 13.9 |
| Tier 1 | 13.0 | 13.9 |
| Total Capital Adequacy Ratio ⁽¹⁾ | 15.4 | 16.3 |
(1) The pro-forma Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital Adequacy ratios as at 30 September 2021 with the derecognition of the Mexico loans classified as held for sale would be 13.3% and 15.7%, respectively.
a) The profit of € 216 million for the period ended 30 September 2021 (31 December 2020: loss of € 1,213 million) has been included in the calculation of the above capital ratios.
b) The Group has elected to apply the phase-in approach for mitigating the impact of IFRS 9 transition on the regulatory capital, according to the Regulation (EU) 2017/2395 (providing a 5-year transition period to recognize the impact of IFRS 9 adoption) and the Regulation 2020/873 (CRR quick fix). The transition effect is included in the regulatory capital as of the first quarter of each year.
c) The implementation of the new Definition of Default from 1 January 2021 (note 3) had a negative impact on the regulatory capital by increasing the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach shortfall, which is presented above within other regulatory adjustments.
d) The Group's CET1 as at 30 September 2021, based on the full implementation of the Basel III rules in 2025 (fully loaded CET1), referring mainly to the completion of the aforementioned IFRS 9 transitional arrangements, would be 11.9% (31 December 2020: 12%), whereas the pro-forma fully loaded CET1 ratio as at 30 September 2021 with the derecognition of the Mexico loans classified as held for sale would be 12.3%.
The Group has sought to maintain an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in the business. The adequacy of the Group's capital is monitored using, among other measures, the rules and ratios established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BIS rules/ratios) which have been incorporated in the European Union (EU) legislation through the Directive 2013/36/EU (known as CRD IV) as in force, along with the Regulation No 575/2013/EU (known as CRR) as in force. Directive 2013/36/EU was transposed into Greek legislation by Law 4261/2014. In May 2021, Law 4261/2014 was amended by Law 4799/2021, which introduced Directive 2019/878 (CRD V) into Greek law. Supplementary to that, in the context of Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), the Group considers a broader range of risk types and the Group's risk management capabilities. ICAAP aims ultimately to ensure that the Group has sufficient capital to cover all material risks that it is exposed to, over a three-year horizon.
Based on Council Regulation No 1024/2013, the European Central Bank (ECB) conducts annually a Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) in order to define the prudential requirements of the institutions under its supervision. The key purpose of the SREP is to ensure that institutions have adequate arrangements, strategies, processes and mechanisms as well as capital and liquidity to ensure a sound management and coverage of their risks, to which they are or might be exposed, including those revealed by stress testing and risks the institution may pose to the financial system.
Taking into account the 2020 SREP decision, for 2021, the Group is required to meet a Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio of at least 9.24% and a Total Capital Adequacy Ratio of at least 14.05% (Overall Capital Requirement or OCR), including the Combined Buffer Requirement (standing currently at 3.05% and is covered with CET1 capital), which sits on top of the Total SREP Capital Requirement (TSCR). However as of March 2020, based on the ECB's measures announced in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, banks are allowed, among others, to operate below the level of capital defined by the Pillar 2 Guidance and, without prejudice to the restrictions set out
in CRD IV, the Combined Buffer Requirement (i.e. Capital Conservation Buffer, Countercyclical Capital Buffer, Other Systemically Important Institutions Buffer) until at least the end of 2022. According to the FAQs published by the ECB (last updated 23 July 2021), the above allowance provided to banks to operate below the combined buffer requirement results in the ECB taking a flexible approach to approving capital conservation plans that banks are legally required to submit if they breach that requirement. Banks are also allowed to partially use capital instruments that do not qualify as CET1 capital (i.e. Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 instruments) to meet the Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R).
The breakdown of the Group's CET1 and Total Capital requirements is presented below.
| 30 September 2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| CET1 Capital | Total Capital | ||
| Requirements | Requirements | ||
| Minimum regulatory requirement | 4.50% | 8.00% | |
| Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) | 1.69% | 3.00% | |
| Total SREP Capital Requirement (TSCR) | 6.19% | 11.00% | |
| Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR) | |||
| Capital conservation buffer (CCoB) | 2.50% | 2.50% | |
| Countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) | 0.05% | 0.05% | |
| Other systemic institutions buffer (O-SII) | 0.50% | 0.50% | |
| Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) | 9.24% | 14.05% |
Furthermore, on 24 June 2020 the Regulation 2020/873 (CRR quick fix) was adopted by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. This Regulation introduced some changesin the CRR to maximize the ability of banksto continue lending during the Covid-19 pandemic. These changes include among others:
-Extension by two years of the transitional arrangements for IFRS 9 and further relief measures, allowing banks to add back to their regulatory capital any increase in new provisions for expected losses that they recognize in 2020 and 2021 for their financial assets, which have not been defaulted. Accordingly, the relief applied for 2022 is 75%, for 2023 50% and for 2024 25%.
-Earlier application of the revised supporting factors for loans to SMEs and certain infrastructure projects' companies, which allows for a more favorable prudential treatment of these exposures.
-A preferential treatment of exposures to public debt issued in the currency of another Member State and flexibility regarding the large exposures limit.
Further disclosures regarding capital adequacy in accordance with the Regulation 575/2013, including the regulatory developments and relief measures introduced with CRR quick fix, are provided in the Consolidated Pillar 3 Reports on the Company's website.
In January 2021, the EBA launched the 2021 EU-wide stress test exercise which provided valuable input for assessing the resilience of the European banking sector, notably its ability to absorb shocks under adverse macroeconomic conditions.
This exercise was coordinated by the EBA in cooperation with the ECB and national authorities, and was conducted according to the EBA's methodology, which was published in November 2020. It was carried out on the basis of year-end 2020 figures and assessed the resilience of EU banks under a common macroeconomic baseline scenario and a common adverse scenario, covering the period of 2021-2023. The baseline scenario for EU countries was based on the projectionsfrom the national central banks of December 2020, while the adverse scenario assumed the materialisation of the main financial stability risks that had been identified by the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) and which the EU banking sector is exposed to. The adverse scenario also reflected ongoing concerns about the possible evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic coupled with a potentialstrong drop in confidence and was designed to ensure an adequate level of severity across all EU countries.
In parallel, the ECB also conducted its own stress test for the banks it directly supervises but that were not included in the EBA-led stress test sample. This exercise was consistent with the EBA's methodology and applied the same scenarios, while also including proportionality elements as suggested by the overall smaller size and lower complexity of these banks. Eurobank Holdings Group participated in the ECB-led stress test.
On 30 July 2021, the Company announced that Eurobank Holdings Group successfully completed the 2021 SSM Stress Test (ST), which was coordinated and conducted by the ECB. The starting point of the ST exercise was the financial and capital position of the Group as at 31 December 2020 and the ST horizon covered the period until the end of 2023.
Under the baseline scenario, the Group is capital accretive by 290 bps over the three-year ST horizon, reaching, on a fully loaded (FL) basis, total CAD ratio of 17.5%, and CET1 ratio of 14.9%, as at the end of 2023.
Under the adverse scenario, the capital depletion in terms of FL CET1 ratio amounts to 433 bps as at the end of 2023 and to 517 bps at the year with the highest impact (2021). Accordingly, the FL CET1 ratio stands at 7.6% as at the end of 2023 and at 6.8% at the year with the highest impact (2021). On a transitional basis, the CET1 ratio at the end of 2023 stands at 8%.
The Group's performance in the ST confirmed itsresilience and ability to withstand a significant downturn, especially under the severe assumptions of the adverse scenario. In addition, the results of ST will be used to determine the Pillar 2 capital recommendation ("Guidance") in the context of the SREP.
Under the Directive 2014/59 (Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive or BRRD), as amended by Directive 2019/879 (BRRD II), which was transposed into the Greek legislation pursuant to Law 4799/2021 amending Law 4335/2015, European banks are required to meet the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL). The Single Resolution Board (SRB) has determined Eurobank S.A. as the Group's resolution entity and a Single Point of Entry (SPE) strategy for resolution purposes. Based on the latest official SRB's decision, the fully calibrated MREL (final target) to be met by Eurobank S.A. on a consolidated basis until the end of 2025 is set at ca 26.5% of its total risk weighted assets (RWAs), including a fully-loaded combined buffer requirement (CBR) of 3.56%, while the interim binding MREL target to be met at 1 January 2022 is set at 17.82% of its total RWAs, including a CBR of 3.31%.
In the period ended 30 September 2021, in the context of its medium-term strategy to meet its MREL target, the Bank proceeded with two issues of preferred senior debt with a nominal value of € 500 million each (note 24). As a result, at 30 September 2021, the Bank's MREL ratio at consolidated level stands at 18.1% (including profit for the period ended 30 September 2021). The final MREL target is updated by the SRB on an annual basis.
Management has determined the operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed by the Strategic Planning Committee that are used to allocate resources and to assess their performance in order to make strategic decisions. The Strategic Planning Committee considers the business both from a business unit and geographic perspective. Geographically, management considers the performance of its business activities originated from Greece and other countries in Europe (International).
Greece is further segregated into retail, corporate, global, capital markets & asset management and investment property. International is monitored and reviewed on a country basis. The Group aggregates segments when they exhibit similar economic characteristics and profile and are expected to have similar long-term economic development.
In more detail, the Group is organized in the following reportable segments:
Other segment of the Group refers mainly to a) property management (including repossessed assets), b) other investing activities (including equities' positions), c) private banking services to medium and high net worth individuals and the Group's share of results of Eurolife Insurance group and d) the results related to the corporate transformation plan, the notes of the Cairo and Pillar securitizations, which were retained by the Group, and the Group's share of results of doValue Greece Loans and Credits Claim Management S.A.
The Group's management reporting is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies of the Group's operating segments are the same with those described in the principal accounting policies.
Revenues from transactions between business segments are allocated on a mutually agreed basis at rates that approximate market prices.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares.
The diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As at 30 September 2021, the Group's dilutive potential ordinary shares relate to the share options that were allocated to key executives with grant date in July 2021 (note 27). The weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the share options by calculating the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market price of the Company's shares for the period). The number of shares resulting from the above calculation is added to the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue in order to determine the weighted average number of ordinary shares used for the calculation of the diluted earnings per share.

(1) For the period ended 30 September 2021, it includes € 5 million reversal of provision for an uncertain tax position of a Company's subsidiary, following a positive decision issued by the Supreme Court.
According to Law 4172/2013 currently in force, the nominal Greek corporate tax rate for credit institutions that fall under the requirements of article 27A of Law 4172/2013 regarding eligible DTAs/deferred tax credits (DTCs) against the Greek State is 29%. According to Law 4799/2021, which was enacted in May 2021 and amended Law 4172/2013, the Greek corporate tax rate for legal entities other than the aforementioned credit institutions decreased from 24% to 22% from the tax year 2021 onwards. This resulted to a reduction in the net deferred tax liability by ca. € 1.6 million for the Company's Greek subsidiaries that has been recorded in the income statement. In addition, the withholding tax rate for dividends distributed, other than intragroup dividends, is 5%. In particular, the intragroup dividends under certain preconditions are relieved from both income and withholding tax.
The nominal corporate tax rates applicable in the banking subsidiaries incorporated in the international segment of the Group (note 5) are as follows: Bulgaria 10%, Serbia 15%, Cyprus 12.5% and Luxembourg 24.94%.
The Company and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, which operate in Greece (notes 17.1 and 18) have in principle 1 to 6 open tax years. For the open tax year 2015 the Company and the Group's Greek entities, with annual financial statements audited compulsorily, were required to obtain an 'Annual Tax Certificate' pursuant to the Law 4174/2013, which is issued after a tax audit is performed by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that audits the annual financial statements. For fiscal years starting from 1 January 2016 onwards, the 'Annual Tax Certificate' is optional, however, the Company and (as a general rule) the Group's Greek companies will continue to obtain such certificate.
The tax certificates, which have been obtained by the Company and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, which operate in Greece, are unqualified for the open tax years 2015-2019. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the tax auditsfrom external auditors are in progress.
In accordance with the Greek tax legislation and the respective Ministerial Decisions issued, additional taxes and penalties may be imposed by the Greek tax authorities following a tax audit within the applicable statute of limitations (i.e. in principle five years as from the end of the fiscal year within which the relevant tax return should have been submitted), irrespective of whether an unqualified tax certificate has been obtained from the tax paying company. In light of the above, as a general rule, the right of the Greek State to impose taxes up to tax year 2014 (included) has been time-barred for the Company and the Group's Greek entities as at 31 December 2020. On 18 January 2021, the Company received two orders for a tax audit by the tax authorities for the tax years 2015 and 2016. The tax audit is in progress.
The open tax years of the foreign banking entities of the Group are as follows: (a) Eurobank Cyprus Ltd, 2018-2020, (b) Eurobank Bulgaria A.D., 2015-2020, (c) Eurobank A.D. Beograd (Serbia), 2015-2020, and (d) Eurobank Private Bank Luxembourg S.A., 2016-2020. The remaining foreign entities of the Group (notes 17.1 and 18), which operate in countries where a statutory tax audit is explicitly stipulated by law, have 1 to 6 open tax years in principle, subject to certain preconditions of the applicable tax legislation of each jurisdiction.
In reference to its total uncertain tax positions, the Group assesses all relevant developments (e.g. legislative changes, case law, ad hoc tax/legal opinions, administrative practices) and raises adequate provisions.
Deferred tax is calculated on all deductible temporary differences under the liability method as well as for unused tax losses at the rate in effect at the time the reversal is expected to take place.
The movement on deferred tax is as follows:

| Net deferred tax | 4,414 | 4,505 |
(1) The crystallization for tax purposes of impairment losses and write-offs relating to the project "Mexico" (note 15.1) resulted in the significant increase of the deferred tax on the category "Losses from disposals and crystallised write-offs of loans" against a decrease in the category "Impairment/valuation relating to loans and accounting write-offs".
The net deferred tax is analyzed as follows:
| 30 September | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| € million | € million | |
| Deferred tax assets | 4,437 | 4,526 |

| Net deferred tax | 4,414 | 4,505 |
Deferred income tax (charge)/credit is attributable to the following items:

| Deferred income tax (charge)/credit | (85) | (94) |
As at 30 September 2021, the Group recognized net deferred tax assets amounting to € 4.4 billion as follows:
(e) € 6 million mainly refer to deductible temporary differences related to the (unamortized for tax purposes) costs directly attributable to Eurobank Ergasias S.A.share capital increases, subject to 10 years' amortization according to tax legislation in force at the year they have been incurred;
(f) € 1 million refer to the unused tax losses of the Company's subsidiaries; and
The recognition of the above presented deferred tax assets is based on management's assessment that the Group's legal entities will have sufficient future taxable profits, against which the deductible temporary differences and the unused tax losses can be utilized. The deferred tax assets are determined on the basis of the tax treatment of each deferred tax asset category, as provided by the applicable tax legislation of each jurisdiction and the eligibility of carried forward losses for offsetting with future taxable profits. Additionally, the Group's assessment on the recoverability of recognized deferred tax assets is based on (a) the future performance expectations(projections of operating results) and growth opportunities relevant for determining the expected future taxable profits, (b) the expected timing of reversal of the deductible and taxable temporary differences, (c) the probability that the Group entities will have sufficient taxable profitsin the future, in the same period asthe reversal of the deductible and taxable temporary differences or in the years into which the tax losses can be carried forward, and (d) the historical levels of Group entities' performance in combination with the previous years' tax losses caused by one off or non-recurring events.
In particular, as of 30 September 2021, the deferred tax asset (DTA) recoverability assessment has been based on the three-year Business Plan that was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2020, for the period up to the end of 2023, (also submitted to the Single Supervisory Mechanism -SSM-) and certain updates of the above plan that were carried out in the period ended 30 September 2021. For the years beyond 2023, the forecast of operating results was based on the management projections considering the growth opportunities of the Greek economy, the banking sector and the Group itself. Specifically, the management projections for the Group'sfuture profitability adopted in the Business Plan, as updated in the period ended 30 September 2021, have considered, among others, (a) the impact of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic and the relevant mitigating measures taken by the national and European authorities on the economy and the banking system (note 2) and (b) the planned strategic initiatives, including securitizations of loan portfolios (information for project "Mexico" is provided in the note 15.1), for the further reduction of the NPE in line with the Group's 2021-2023 NPE Management Strategy that was submitted to SSM in March 2021. In addition, the Management has taken into account the new Law 4831/2021 provisions (see below) relating to the DTA on loan losses.
The Group closely monitors and constantly assesses the developments on the Covid-19 front and their effect on the assumptions used in its plans and the projections for future profitability and will continue to update its estimates accordingly.
As at 30 September 2021, pursuant to the Law 4172/2013, as in force, the Bank's eligible DTAs/deferred tax credits (DTCs) against the Greek State amounted to € 3,585 million (31 December 2020: € 3,691 million). The DTCs are accounted for on: (a) the unamortised losses from the Private Sector Involvement (PSI) and the Greek State Debt Buyback Program, which are subject to amortisation over a thirty-year period and (b) on the sum of (i) the unamortized part of the DTC eligible crystallized tax losses arising from write-offs and disposals of loans, which are subject to amortization over a twenty-year period, (ii) the accounting debt write-offs and (iii) the remaining accumulated provisions and other losses in general due to credit risk recorded up to 30 June 2015. The DTCs will be converted into directly enforceable claims (tax credit) against the Greek State provided that the Bank's after tax accounting result for the year is a loss.
According to the Law 4831/2021 (article 125), which was enacted in September 2021 and amended Law 4172/2013, the amortization of the PSI tax related losses is deducted from the taxable income at a priority over that of the crystallized tax losses (debit difference) arising from write-offs and disposals of loans. In addition, the amount of the annual tax amortization of the above crystallized tax losses is limited to the amount of the annual taxable profits, calculated before the deduction of such losses and following the annual tax deduction of the PSI tax related losses. The unutilized part of the annual tax amortization of the crystallized loan losses can be carried forward for offsetting over a period of 20 years. If at the end of the 20-year utilization period, there are balances that have not been offset, these will qualify as a tax loss, which is subject to the 5-year statute of limitation. The above provisions apply as of 1 January 2021 and cover the crystallized tax lossesthat have arisen from write-offs and disposals of loans as of 1 January 2016 onwards.
Taking into account the tax regime in force, including the above development in September 2021, the recovery of the Bank's deferred tax asset recorded on loans and advances to customers and the regulatory capital structure are further safeguarded, contributing substantially to the achievement of the NPE reduction targets, through the acceleration of write-offs and disposals.
According to tax Law 4172/2013 as in force, an annual fee of 1.5% is imposed on the excess amount of deferred tax assets guaranteed by the Greek State, stemming from the difference between the current tax rate for the eligible credit institutions (i.e. 29%) and the tax rate applicable on 30 June 2015 (i.e. 26%). For the period ended 30 September 2021, an amount of € 4.8 million has been recognized in "Other income/(expenses)".

At the end of 2019, the Group, in the context of its strategy for the active management of its real estate portfolio (repossessed, investment properties and own used properties) classified as held for sale (HFS) three pools of real estate assets of total value ca. € 63 million, after their remeasurement in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements.
The sale of the aforementioned real estate properties, along with certain additions of real estate assets, has been extended beyond the initially estimated period due to the extraordinary conditions related to Covid-19 pandemic and is currently expected to be completed up to 2022. The Group remains committed to its plan to sell the aforementioned assets, which continue to be actively marketed for sale, while a number of sales of individual items within the portfolios have already taken place. As at 30 September 2021, the carrying amount of these assets amounted to approximately € 26 million.
In addition, as at 30 September 2021, the Group classified as HFS a real estate portfolio consisting primarily of repossessed, as well as investment properties with a total carrying amount of € 24 million, after their remeasurement in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, on the basis that their disposal was determined to be highly probable. The portfolio's remeasurement resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss of € 9 million, which was included in the income statement line "Other impairment losses and provisions". The sale of these real estate assets is expected to be concluded within 2022.
The above non-recurring fair value measurements were categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significance of the unobservable inputs used, with no change occurring up to 30 September 2021.
In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank acquired 100% of the shares and voting rights of Village Roadshow Operations Hellas S.A. for a cash consideration of € 1 million; and 29.48% of the shares and voting rights of Intertech S.A. – International Technologies for a cash consideration of € 1.9 million. The acquisitions took place following the enforcement of collaterals on the companies' shares under Bank's lending arrangements.
Village Roadshow Operations Hellas S.A. was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 for subsidiaries acquired with a view to sale. As at 30 September 2021, the company's assets of € 69.5 million have been measured based on a) the fair value of the identifiable liabilities of € 60.3 million (net of the carrying amount of the intragroup borrowing) and b) the fair value of the net assets less costs to sell, determined at € 1 million by reference to the transaction price.
Intertech S.A. – International Technologies, which is a listed company in Athens Stock Exchange, has been classified as held for sale as of the acquisition date. As at 30 September 2021, the holding in the company was measured at its carrying amount of € 1.9 million, which was lower than its fair value less cost to sell based on the market value of the company's shares.
In the second quarter of 2021, Eurobank Bulgaria A.D. entered into an agreement for the disposal of non-performing corporate and retail loans. Accordingly, loans with gross carrying amount of € 18.2 million, which carried an impairment allowance of € 4.6 million, were classified as held for sale. The transaction was completed in July 2021 with no effect in the Group's income statement.

As at 30 September 2021, the derivative assets and liabilities decreased by € 506 million and € 546 million, respectively, compared to 31 December 2020, mainly as a result of the upward movement of the euro interest rate curve. On the same date, the net carrying value of the derivatives with the Hellenic Republic amounted to € 1,185 million (31 December 2020: € 1,632 million).

(1) As at 30 September 2021, POCI loans of € 37 million gross carrying amount (of which € 35 million included in non performing exposures) and € 5 million impairment allowance are presented in 'Lifetime ECL – Stage 3 and POCI' (31 December 2020: € 43 million gross carrying amount and € 3.5 million impairment allowance).
(2) Includes a) € 1,057 million related to the senior notes of the Pillar securitization and b) € 2,438 million related to the senior notes of the Cairo securitization, which are under the Hellenic Asset Protection Scheme. The notes have been categorized in Stage 1.
(3) Includes € 7.4 million related to the mezzanine notes of the Pillar and Cairo securitizations.
In line with the regulatory framework and SSM requirements for NPE management, in March 2021 the Group submitted its NPE Management Strategy for 2021-2023, along with NPE stock annual targets at both Bank and Group level. The submitted plan had taken into account a new NPE securitization of gross carrying amount of ca. € 3.2 billion (note 15.1) and envisaged the decrease of Group's NPE ratio at 8.8% (currently estimated at approximately 7.3% due to lower than expected actual NPE formation) at the end of 2021, 6.4% in 2022 and below 6% in 2023.
With the significant progress of the project "Mexico" and the subsequent classification of the underlying securitised loan portfolio of € 3.2 billion (consisting primarily of NPE) as held for sale (note 15.1), the Group reduced significantly its NPE stock by € 2.8 billion to € 2.9 billion (31 December 2020: € 5.7 billion), driving the NPE ratio, pro-forma with the recognition of Mexico senior notes in total loans, at 7.3% (31 December 2020: 14%), while the NPE coverage ratio stood at 72.8% (31 December 2020: 61.8%).
Eurobank has been taking all appropriate actions to address liquidity difficulties of businesses and individuals caused by the limited orsuspended operations of businessesresulting from the impact of Covid-19. In this context, Eurobank has defined a set of emergency relief measures that have been applied to specific segments that are affected by Covid-19. Since January 2021 when the vast majority of moratoria measures expired, the priority of the Bank isto take timely action to minimize any cliff effects, capitalizing on all available schemes and offering customized solutions that will gradually lead to pre Covid-19 payment patterns.
In line with the regulatory framework and Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) requirements for the non-performing loans (NPE) management, the Group contemplated another significant NPE securitization transaction (project 'Mexico') in order to decrease further its NPE ratio by the end of 2021 and strengthen its balance sheet de-risking. The project ''Mexico'' representsthe continuation of the Group's NPE reduction plan that was successfully completed in 2020, where NPE are transferred to Eurobank Holdings (parent company), the group company responsible for the overall management and supervision of the Group's NPE. The Group targets to include project ''Mexico'' under the Hellenic Asset Protection Scheme (HAPS) thus to become entitled to the Greek State's guarantee which is subject to the accounting derecognition of the underlying loan portfolio from the Group's balance sheet.
In particular, in May 2021, the Bank, through its special purpose financing vehicle 'Mexico Finance Designated Activity Company' (SPV), issued senior (Class A), mezzanine (Class B) and junior (Class C) notes of total nominal amount of ca. € 5.2 billion, via a securitization of a mixed portfolio comprising primarily NPE of total principle amount due of ca. € 5.2 billion and gross carrying amount of ca. € 3.2 billion, which were fully retained by the Bank (note 24). The control of the SPV resides with the majority holder of the Class B notes. Accordingly, the Group, being the sole holder of the issued notes, controls the SPV and the related real estate company 'Mexico Estate Single Member S.A.', and continues recognizing the underlying loan portfolio on its balance sheet on the basis that it retains substantially all risks and rewards of the portfolio's ownership.
On 1 June 2021, the General Shareholders' Meeting of the Bank (GM), following the relevant decision of its Board of Directors (BoD), approved the distribution of the 95% of the mezzanine and junior notes of Mexico securitization to its parent company through the decrease in kind of the Bank'sshare capital. The aforementioned GM's approval forthe Bank'sshare capital reduction and the relevant amendment of its articles of association were subject to the regulator's approval. In August 2021, the Bank was granted the required regulatory approval by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the relevant amendments of its articles of association were subsequently approved by the Ministry of Developments and Investments and registered to the General Electronic Commercial Registry (G.E.MI.).
The distribution in kind of the Bank to its parent company though a share capital reduction constitutes a common control transaction within the scope of IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'. However, the above accounting standard does not shed light on the various issues arising in non cash distributions, such as the amount to be recorded in equity as well as whether recording of the transaction should be performed in fair values or book values. On the other hand, IFRIC 17 'Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners', that specifies the use of fair values in specific types of distributions, does not apply to common control transactions, which are explicitly excluded from its scope. Considering the scope limitation of IFRIC 17, the Bank applied the use of book values in intercompany distributions of non-cash assets, consistently with the accounting policies already applied in other types of common control transactions. Therefore, the reduction of the Bank's total equity was determined by the book value of the assets distributed.
The settlement of the aforementioned distribution in kind, that took place in September 2021, resulted in the de-recognition of the underlying loan portfolio and the related assets and liabilities from the Bank's balance sheet, on the basis that the latter transferred substantially all risks and rewards of the portfolio's ownership and relinquished its control over it. In addition, the Bank ceased to control the SPV and the related real estate company, which resides with the majority stake of Class B noteholders. At the same time, Eurobank Holdings accounted for the distribution in kind as dividend, recognizing in profit and loss the fair value of the distributed notes, ie. 95% of the mezzanine and junior notes. Moreover, Eurobank Holdings obtained the direct control of the SPV and the related real estate company.
The distribution of the notes from the Bank to its parent company under a share capital reduction, as analysed above, is an intercompany transaction thus, it does not affect the consolidation of the SPV and the related real estate company as well as the recognition assessment of the underlying loan portfolio at Holdings Group level, since the latter continues to retain the 100% of the issued notes. In particular, as at 30 September 2021, the percentage holding of the notes issued by the SPV is presented in the table below:
| Notes | Bank | Eurobank Holdings |
Group | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A | 100% | 0% | 100% | |
| Class B | 5% | 95% | 100% | |
| Class C | 5% | 95% | 100% |
In August 2021, a commitment letter was signed between Eurobank Holdings, Eurobank and doValue S.p.A. for the sale of 95% of mezzanine and junior notes of Mexico securitization that were distributed to Eurobank Holdings, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, including the settlement of the mezzanine and junior notes' distribution from the Bank to Eurobank Holdings, which was
completed in September 2021, as well as the issuance of the Ministerial Decision on the inclusion of the Mexico securitization under HAPS and the regulatory approval by the SSM for the significant risk transfer of the underlying loan portfolio.
In September 2021, the BoD of Eurobank Holdings approved to proceed with the sale of 95% of the mezzanine and junior notes of Mexico securitization and the ongoing servicing of the portfolio by doValue Group. The aforementioned BoD decision clearly demonstrates Management's commitment to a specific plan for the notes' disposal as a last step of the project 'Mexico' which will lead eventually to the underlying loan portfolio's de-recognition from the Group's balance sheet on the basis that the Group will transfer substantially all risks and rewards of the portfolio's ownership and will cease to have control over the portfolio, which resides with the majority stake of Class B noteholders.
Accordingly, as at 30 September 2021, the Group proceeded with the re-measurement of the portfolio's expected credit losses, considering the estimated date for the Mexico loan portfolio's derecognition from its balance sheet, in accordance with its accounting policy for the impairment of financial assets and recognized an impairment loss of € 72 million in the third quarter of 2021 (note 10). The impairment loss was calculated by reference to the sale price of the mezzanine and junior notes. Furthermore, the Group classified as held for sale assets the underlying loan portfolio of carrying amount € 1,514 million, comprising loans with gross carrying amount of € 3,046 million which carried an impairment allowance of € 1,532 million after the recognition of the aforementioned impairment loss, the related securitization'sreceivables and payables of € 69 million and € 31 million respectively, and the impairment allowance of the letters of guarantee of € 1 million included in the underlying portfolio (note 13).
The sale transaction with doValue Group that will result to the Mexico loans' derecognition from the Group's balance sheet is expected to be completed by the end of 2021, subject to the fulfillment of the remaining conditions precedent. Post-closing of the sale transaction with doValue Group, the Group shall retain the 100% of the senior and 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes, while the Group's NPE ratio is expected to stand at 7.3%.

In January 2021, the liquidation of the company was completed.
In April 2021, the Bank acquired 100% of the shares and voting rights of Senseco Trading Limited for a cash consideration of € 6.7 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the total net assets amounted to € 6.4 million mainly referring to 51% of the shares and voting rights of the Group'sjoint venture Value Touristiki S.A. Accordingly, the resulting goodwill asset amounted to € 0.3 million. Following the above transaction, Value Touristiki S.A. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. In accordance with the requirements for business combinations achieved in stages, the Group has remeasured its previously held interest of 49% in Value Touristiki S.A. at fair value of € 6.1 million, with a resulting gain of € 1.7 million that was recognized in "Other income/(expenses)".
In May 2021, in the context of the management of the Group's non performing exposures (NPE) the Bank, through its special purpose financing vehicle Mexico Finance Designated Activity Company, proceeded with the securitization of a mixed assets portfolio of primarily NPE (note 15.1) and established the related real estate company Mexico Estate Single Member S.A.
On 1 July 2021, Eurobank S.A. ("Eurobank") announced that it has concluded an agreement with the shareholders and principals of Direktna Banka a.d. Kragujevac ("Direktna"), for the merger of Direktna with Eurobank's subsidiary in Serbia, Eurobank a.d. Beograd ("Eurobank Serbia") (the "Transaction"), with absorption of Direktna by Eurobank Serbia. The combined bank ("Eurobank Direktna") will have total assets in excess of € 2 billion, total equity above € 300 million and, accounting for the expected fully-phased synergies, pre-provision income and net income in excess of € 50 million and € 35 million respectively. After the completion of the Transaction, Eurobank will control c. 70% of the combined bank, while Direktna's shareholders will own the remaining 30%. Part of the Transaction is the payment of a dividend/capital return to Eurobank. The Transaction is capital neutral for Eurobank and earnings per share (EPS) accretive by 3% post synergies.
The Transaction is consistent with Eurobank's strategy to further strengthen its position in the countries where the Group retains presence and further grow with bolt-on acquisitions and friendly mergers.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to customary approvals by the competent regulatory and supervisory authorities and is expected to take place in December 2021.
Furthermore, in August 2021 Eurobank S.A. acquired the shares from the remaining shareholders of Eurobank A.D. Beograd, which accounted for 0.01% of the company's share capital, for a cash consideration of € 0.03 million. The transaction resulted to € 0.01 million gain that was recognized directly in equity.
In July 2021, Eurobank Cyprus Ltd disposed its participation interest of 100% in Ragisena Ltd to a third party for a cash consideration of € 0.8 million. The resulting gain on the disposal was immaterial.
In September 2021, the liquidation of the company was decided and accordingly its name was amended to "Eurobank Holding (Luxembourg S.A.) under liquidation".
In June 2021, in the context of the optimization of the Group's organizational structure and the enhancement of its competitiveness in the leasing market, the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meetings of the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary Eurobank Ergasias Leasing Single Member S.A. resolved the approval of the demerger of Eurobank Ergasias Leasing Single Member S.A. ("Demerged Entity") through (i) the transfer of part of its assets and liabilitiesto the Bank and (ii) the establishment of a new company through the transfer of the remaining part of the assets and liabilities of the Demerged Entity.
The aforementioned demerger was completed in October 2021, after receiving the required approvals by the competent Authorities, while a new company "Eurobank Leasing Single Member S.A" was established for this purpose, as described above. Moreover, the deregistration of the demerged entity "Eurobank Ergasias Leasing Single Member S.A." from the General Commercial Registry was completed.
In line with the Group's accounting policy for business combinations involving entities under common control, the transfer of the Demerged Entity's assets and liabilities to the Bank was performed at their pre-combination carrying amounts under the pooling of interests method, while the transfer of the Demerged Entity's assets and liabilities to the new company was accounted for as an internal capital reorganization, thus also transferred at their carrying amounts. The demerger had no impact in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Eurobank Holdings Group comprises Eurobank S.A. Group, which constitutes its most significant component and the Company's directly held subsidiary Be Business Exchanges S.A.

In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic's outbreak, the European Central Bank (ECB) has introduced a number of modifications to the terms of the targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO III) in order to support the continuous access of households and firms to bank credit.
In particular, based on the modified terms of TLTRO III facilities up to December 2020, the interest rate on TLTRO III facilities has been reduced to -0.50% for the period from June 2020 to June 2021, while for the bankssubject to meeting the required lending thresholds for the reference period ended 31 March 2021, the interest rate for the abovementioned period is capped at -1% (i.e. the minimum of the average deposit facility rate minus 0.5% and the rate of -1%). Additionally, based on the ECB's decision in January 2021, the reduction of interest rate to -0.5% is extended to the period from June 2021 to June 2022 (also capped at -1%), provided that the lending thresholds for the additional observation period ended 31 December 2021 are met.
As at the end of September 2021, the Group has borrowed € 8.8 billion under the TLTRO III-refinancing program, using as collaterals, among others, Greek government bonds which became eligible for such financing following ECB's relevant decision in 2020.
The Group has assessed the terms of the program and concluded that TLTRO III contains a significant benefit in comparison to the market's pricing for other similarly collateralized borrowings available to the Group and accounts this benefit as a government grant under IAS 20. Consequently, the Group considers that the grant is intended to compensate for its funding costs incurred over the term of each TLTRO-III facility and therefore, the benefit is allocated systematically under interest expense.
As at 30 September 2021, the Group has recognized on an accrual basis, the benefit of '-0.50%' applicable to the period June 2020 to June 2022. In addition, following the re-assessment of the lending performance thresholds for the reference period ended 31 March 2021, the Group has reasonable assurance that it will receive the benefit attached to the more favorable interest rates of the TLTRO III facilities. Accordingly, for the period ended 30 September 2021, the cumulative benefit from TLTRO III program recognized by the Group amounts to € 79 million.

At the end of April 2021, the Bank proceeded with the issue of a preferred senior debt with a nominal value of € 500 million.

The notes, which are listed in the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market, have a maturity of six years and are callable at par in five years, offering a coupon of 2% per annum that is resettable on 5 May 2026.

Further information about the issue is provided in the relevant announcement published in the Bank's website on 29 April 2021.
In September 2021, the Bank proceeded with the second consecutive € 500 million preferred senior debt issue. The issue was oversubscribed by more than 1.5 times, which enabled Eurobank to lower the interest rate by 12.5 basis points, from the 2.50% initially offered to the 2.375% re-offer yield. The notes, which are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market, mature in six and a half years and are callable at par in five and a half years, offering a coupon of 2.25% per-annum that is resettable on 14 March 2027.
This transaction is another step towards the implementation of Eurobank's medium term strategy to meet its MREL requirements (note 4), and reflects the Bank's ongoing commitment to the protection of depositors. The new issue also contributes to the further development of the Issuer's yield curve in the secondary market. Further information about this issue is provided in the relevant announcement published in the Bank's website on 8 September 2021.
The proceeds from both issues will be used for Eurobank's business purposes, including the financing of environmental projects that promote the use of energy from renewable sources.
In addition, during the period ended 30 September 2021, the Bank proceeded with the issue of medium term notes of face value of € 20 million which were designated for Group's customers.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company's subsidiaries, except for the Bank, may acquire and dispose of treasury shares. According to paragraph 1 of Article 16c of Law 3864/2010, during the period of the participation of the HFSF in the share capital of the Company, the Company is not permitted to purchase treasury shares without the approval of the HFSF.
In addition, as at 30 September 2021 the number of the Company's shares held by the Group's associates in the ordinary course of their insurance and investing activities was 64,163,790 in total (31 December 2020: 64,763,790).
The Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of Eurobank Holdings held on 28 July 2020 approved the establishment of a five year shares award plan, starting from 2021, in the form of share options rights by issuing new shares with a corresponding share capital increase, in accordance with the provisions of article 113 of law 4548/2018, awarded to executives and personnel of Eurobank Holdings and its affiliated companies according to article 32 of law 4308/2014. The maximum number of rights that can be approved was set at 55,637,000 rights, each of which would correspond to one new share (1.5% of the current paid share capital). The exercise price of each new share would be equal to its nominal value i.e. € 0.23. The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors of Eurobank Holdings to define the eligible staff and determine the remaining terms and conditions of the plan.
In June and July 2021, the Board of Directors approved the final terms and the implementation of the share options plan, which is a forward-looking long-term incentive aiming at the retention of key executives. In thisrespect, 12,374,561 stock options were allocated to key executives at an exercise price of € 0.23, with grant date in July 2021. The options are exercisable in portions, annually during the period from 2022 to 2025. Each portion may be exercised wholly or partly and converted into shares at the employees' option, provided that they remain employed by the Group until the first available exercise date. A retention period of 1 year applies to the first portion of the share options vesting 1 year after the grant date. The corporate actions that adjust the number and the price of shares also adjust accordingly the share options. In addition, the exercise of 6,844,524 of the aforementioned share options allocated to certain key executives who are subject to variable and/or accumulated annual remuneration restrictions of Law 3864/2010 is conditional on the amendment of the specific provisions of the law during the exercise period, so that the respective restrictions are lifted, or the exit of the HFSF from the share capital of the Company.
The share options outstanding at the end of the period have the following expiry dates:
| Share options | |
|---|---|
| 30 September | |
| Expiry date | 2021 |
| 2022 | 3,607,200 |
| 2023 | 3,607,200 |
| 2024 | 4,634,321 |
| 2025 | 525,840 |
| Weighted average remaining | |
| contractual life of share options | 2.17 |
| outstanding at the end of the period |
In accordance with the Group's accounting policy on employees' share based payments, the grant date fair value of the options is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period.
The fair value at grant date is determined using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes model for Bermudan equity options which takes into account the exercise price, the exercise dates, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the options.
Furthermore, the aforementioned additional condition on certain share options granted to key executives subject to the remuneration restrictions of Law 3864/2010, is treated as a non-vesting condition. Accordingly, the fair value measurement at grant date of such share options takes into consideration the probability that the relevant restrictions will be lifted, based on Management judgement, and is not subsequently revised regardless of whether the condition is eventually satisfied.
The weighted average fair value of the share options granted in July 2021 was € 0.42. The significant inputs into the model were the share price of € 0.7823 at the grant date, exercise price of € 0.23, annualized dividend yield of 3%, expected average annualized volatility of 68%, the expected option life ranging from 1 to 4 years, and the risk-free interest rate corresponding to the options' maturities, based on the EUR swap yield curve. The expected volatility is measured at the grant date of the options and is based on the average historical volatility of the share price over the last one and a half year.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price). When a quoted price for an identical asset or liability is not observable, fair value is measured using another valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect assumptions that market participants would use when pricing financial instruments, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.
The Group's financial instruments measured at fair value or at amortized cost for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on whether the inputs to the fair values are observable or unobservable, as follows:
(c) Level 3-Financial instruments measured using valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs. When developing unobservable inputs, best information available is used, including own data, while at the same time market participants' assumptions are reflected (e.g. assumptions aboutrisk). Level 3 financial instrumentsinclude unquoted equities or equitiestraded in markets that are not considered active, certain OTC derivatives, loans and advances to customers including securitized notes issued by special purpose entities established by the Group and recognized in financial assets and debt securities issued by the Group.
The fair value hierarchy categorization of the Group'sfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value is presented in the following tables:

The Group's processes and procedures governing the fair valuations are established by the Group Market Counterparty Risk Sector in line with the Group's accounting policies. The Group uses widely recognized valuation models for determining the fair value of common financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market, such as interest and cross currency swaps, that use only observable market data and require little management estimation and judgment. Specifically, observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities, exchange-traded and simple over-the-counter derivatives. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgment and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values.
Where valuation techniques are used to determine the fair values of financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market, they are validated against historical data and, where possible, against current or recent observed transactions in different instruments, and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the personnel that created them. All models are certified before they are used and models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. Fair values' estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that market participants would take them into account in pricing the instrument. Fair values also reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and the counterparty, where appropriate.
Valuation controls applied by the Group may include verification of observable pricing, re-performance of model valuations, review and approval processfor new models and/or changesto models, calibration and back-testing against observable market transactions, where available, analysis ofsignificant valuation movements, etc. Where third parties' valuations are used forfair value measurement, these are reviewed in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of IFRS 13.
The fair values of OTC derivative financial instruments are estimated by discounting expected cash flows using market interest rates at the measurement date. Counterparty creditrisk adjustments and own creditrisk adjustments are applied to OTC derivatives, where appropriate. Bilateral credit risk adjustments consider the expected cash flows between the Group and its counterparties under the relevant terms of the derivative instruments and the effect of the credit risk on the valuation of these cash flows. As appropriate in circumstances, the Group considers also the effect of any credit risk mitigating arrangements, including collateral agreements and master netting agreements on the calculation of credit risk valuation adjustments(CVAs). CVA calculation uses probabilities of default (PDs) based on observable market data such as credit default swaps (CDS) spreads, where appropriate, or based on internal rating models. The Group applies similar methodology for the calculation of debit-value-adjustments (DVAs), when applicable. Where valuation techniques are based on internal rating models and the relevant CVA is significant to the entire fair value measurement, such derivative instruments are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A reasonably possible change in the main unobservable input (i.e. the recovery rate), used in their valuation, would not have a significant effect on their fair value measurement.
The Group determines fair values for debt securities held using quoted market prices in active markets for securities with similar credit risk, maturity and yield, quoted market prices in non active markets for identical or similar financial instruments, or using discounted cash flows method.
Unquoted equity instruments at FVTPL under IFRS 9 are estimated mainly (i) using third parties' valuation reports based on investees' net assets, where management does not perform any further significant adjustments, and (ii) net assets' valuations, adjusted where considered necessary.
Loans and advances to customers including securitized notes issued by the special purpose entities established by the Group of which contractual cash flows do not represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI failures), are measured mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss. Quoted market prices are not available as there are no active markets where these instruments are traded. Their fair values are estimated on an individual loan basis by discounting the future expected cash flows over the time period they are expected to be recovered, using an appropriate discount rate or by reference to other comparable assets of the same type that have been transacted during a recent time period. Expected cash flows, which incorporate credit risk, represent significant unobservable input in the valuation and assuch, the entire fair value measurement is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

| Debt securities in issue | 1,556 | 1,539 | |
| Financial liabilities not measured at fair value | 1,556 | 1,539 |
The assumptions and methodologies underlying the calculation of fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value, are in line with those used to calculate the fair values for financial instruments measured at fair value. Particularly:
For other financial instruments, which are short term or re-price at frequent intervals (cash and balances with central banks, due from credit institutions, due to central banks, due to credit institutions and due to customers), the carrying amounts represent reasonable approximations of fair values.
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise the following balances with original maturities of three months or less:
| 30 September | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |

| Total | (20) | (186) |
In the period ended 30 September 2021, changes in debt securities in issue arising from accrued interest and amortisation of debt issuance costs amount to € 20 million (30 September 2020: € 28 million).
In the period ended 30 September 2020, other adjustments of € 234 million include € 219 million gain on the disposal of 80% of the Company's former subsidiary Eurobank FPS Loans and Credits Claim Management S.A. (note 18).
The Group presents the credit related commitments it has undertaken within the context of its lending related activities into the following three categories: a) financial guarantee contracts, which refer to guarantees and standby letters of credit that carry the same credit risk asloans(creditsubstitutes), b) commitmentsto extend credit, which comprise firm commitmentsthat are irrevocable over the life of the facility or revocable only in response to a material adverse effect and c) other credit related commitments, which refer to documentary and commercial letters and other guarantees of medium and low risk according to the Regulation No 575/2013/EU.
Credit related commitments are analyzed as follows:
| 30 September | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| € million | € million | |
| Financial guarantee contracts | 976 | 641 |
| Commitments to extend credit | 1,672 | 1,200 |
| Other credit related commitments | 594 | 484 |
| Total | 3,242 | 2,325 |
The credit related commitments within the scope of IFRS 9 impairment requirements amount to € 6.9 billion (31 December 2020: € 5.7 billion), including revocable loan commitments of € 3.6 billion (31 December 2020: € 3.4 billion), while the corresponding allowance for impairment losses amounts to € 62 million, including an amount of € 1.3 million relating to the project Mexico (note 15.1) (31 December 2020: € 66 million).
In addition, the Group has issued a sovereign risk financial guarantee of € 0.24 billion (31 December 2020: € 0.24 billion) for which an equivalent amount has been deposited under the relevant pledge agreement (note 20).
As at 30 September 2021, a provision of € 61 million has been recorded for a number of legal proceedings outstanding against the Group (31 December 2020: € 60 million). The said amount includes € 34 million for an outstanding litigation related to the acquisition of New TT Hellenic Postbank S.A. in 2013 (31 December 2020: € 34 million).
Furthermore, in the normal course of its business, the Group has been involved in a number of legal proceedings, which are either at still a premature or at an advanced trial instance. The final settlement of these cases may require the lapse of a certain time so that the litigants exhaust the legal remedies provided for by the law. Management, having considered the advice of the Legal Services General Division, does not expect that there will be an outflow of resources and therefore does not acknowledge the need for a provision.
Following the completion of the banking sector's hive down of Eurobank Ergasias S.A. (Demerged entity) in 2020, the Beneficiary (i.e. Eurobank S.A., "Bank") substituted the Demerged Entity (currently Eurobank Holdings), by way of universal succession, to all the transferred assets and liabilities, while pending lawsuits where the Demerged entity was an involved party and are related to the hived down banking sector, will continue ipso jure by the Bank or against it.
Against the Bank various legal remedies and redresses have been filed amongst others in the form of individual lawsuits lodged by borrowers, a class action lodged by consumer protection unions, applications for injunction measures, motions to vacate payment orders and appeals in relation to the validity of clauses for the granting of loans in Swiss Francs. To date the vast majority of the judgments issued by the first instance and the appellate Courts have found in favour of the Bank's positions.
As to certain aspects of Swiss Francs loans there was a lawsuit before the Supreme Court (Areios Pagos) at plenary session which was initiated from an individual lawsuit. The Decision issued on 18 April 2019 was in favour of the Bank. For the class action, the Supreme Court issued on 20 July 2021, a decision in favour of the Bank, rejecting the petition of cassation filled by the consumer unions. In addition, the European Court of Human Rights has passed judgments which confirmed the legality of the loansin Swiss Francs granted by the Bank.
In any event, the Management of the Bank is closely monitoring the developments to the relevant cases so as to ascertain potential accounting implications in accordance with the Group's accounting policies.
