UniCredit and Fineco lay the foundations for Fineco's full independence

Fineco as a fully independent entity

  • Fineco and UniCredit have approved certain actions and procedures in order to allow Fineco to operate as a fully independent entity, also potentially outside the Group in the future in the future
  • No implications on Fineco strategy and business model: Fineco enjoys limited synergies with UniCredit and, as a fully independent company, it will continue to focus on maximizing shareholders' value via healthy, sustainable and organic growth
  • Fineco and UniCredit have agreed to enter into certain transitional arrangements to ensure full continuity and an orderly and smooth transition from a regulatory, liquidity and operational standpoint (see next slide)

Full operational continuity and no material economic impacts

  • Fineco's full independence will have no implications for its customers and no material impacts on its capital and liquidity strength, nor on its profitability
  • In particular, the transitional arrangements will allow Fineco to confirm its:
  • current liquidity investment strategy, with no impact on the related net interest income
  • solid capital and liquidity position, comfortably above regulatory requirements, by neutralizing – through a financial collateral granted by UniCredit – any potential RWA / risk concentration increase which may have occurred otherwise
  • existing cost efficiency and profitability profile

Potential AT1 issuance

  • Leverage Ratio will be close to 3% on a pro forma basis following a potential full independence of Fineco from UniCredit
  • With a view to proactively maintaining the ratio comfortably above 3%, and well ahead of the regulatory deadline of 2021, Fineco is evaluating the issuance of up to €200mln AT1 in the next months

Fineco and UniCredit transitional agreements – key pillars

The transitional arrangements entered by Fineco and UniCredit cover the liquidity investment strategy, the trademark and existing intragroup services. Such arrangements will be activated only in case Fineco was to fall outside UniCredit Group.

Liquidity investment strategy

  • No change in the investment policy previously communicated to the market, envisaging an increasing diversification of financial investments as the existing stock of UniCredit bonds, currently at €8.3bn(1) , progressively runs off by 2024
  • UniCredit will grant a financial collateral in favour of Fineco in order to secure the existing credit risk exposures towards UniCredit and neutralize the capital impacts and risk concentration limits in case of a possible future exit of Fineco from the UniCredit Group

Trademark

  • UniCredit and Fineco have also undertaken to maintain in force the existing trademark license agreement, which envisages Fineco's right to use such trademark at the current conditions
  • Fineco will have the option to buy the brand in the future at fixed strike prices in a number of given call option windows up to 2032
  • In particular, assuming Fineco was to repurchase the trademark at the pre-agreed strike price for that specific period, the exercise of the call option would not be expected to have a material impact on its capital position

Intragroup services

  • UniCredit will continue to provide, on an interim basis, certain services to Fineco in line with the current operations and terms in order to allow the Fineco to act in full operational continuity, including, for example, ATMs and other administrative services
  • In particular, the current contract for customers' access to banking services through ATMs and physical branches will be extended for 20 years at market conditions agreed time by time

Quality improvement and time to market for customers and distribution needs

Several efficiencies leveraging on a vertically integrated business model combined with the strong operating efficiency which is in Fineco's DNA

Win-win solution: lower price for clients, higher margins

Sustainability at the heart of Fineco's business model

Our sustainable growing strategy is inspired by principles and voluntary directions of the most relevant international organisations. Our initiatives are consistent with the achievements of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.

In 2018 Standard Ethics(1) confirmed our Standard Ethics Rating(2) at "EE", a grade given to sustainable companies with low reputational risk profile and strong prospects for long-term growth.

In 2018 we established an Appointments and Sustainability Committee, in charge of supervising the Bank's sustainable growth strategy and ESG plans, with the support of a Sustainability Management Committee. Moreover, during the same year we defined the Materiality Matrix for the Bank, to define the relevant topics for Fineco and its Stakeholders.

21% of our clients' assets in funds are already ESG(3) (5.3bn in Dec18).

More than 2,000 funds in our open architecture platform are ESG(3) .

We are continuously updating our ESG offer: FAM is expected to launch multi-thematic funds in 1H19 and we will further enrich our Advice platform with ESG model portfolios. In addition, a "Search ESG" will be added in our platform.

(1) Standard Ethics is an independent agency which assigns Solicited Sustainability Ratings to companies and sovereign issuers. Fineco is included in the Standard Ethics Italian Banks Index© and in the Standard Ethics Italian Index, among the major environmental, social and governance performance indices and benchmarks.

(2) The Standard Ethics Rating is an assessment of sustainability and governance based on the principles and voluntary directions of the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Union.

Developing opportunities and next step

Focus on product areas

Developing opportunities

  • Unique positioning in a highly fragmented market, leveraging on our one-stop solution. Among the most competitive players on Multicurrency account, securities and CFDs
  • ISA and multi-brand funds under implementation: expected launch in 1H19
  • Second phase already started, with more focus on marketing activities on the territory (value proposition / selling points and education on brokerage) and commercial activities

Patent Box

  • We applied in 2015 for intellectual properties (our platforms internally created and developed) and trademark. Fiscal benefits are for 5 years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 as the regime is characterized by a 5-year lock-in period. Intellectual proprieties are renewable according to international guidelines
  • We expect to close the agreement with Italian Fiscal Authority for the first 5 years by the end of 2019

Next step: New platforms to further boost productivity of the Bank (1/3) Third evolutionary step in Fineco's disruptive growth story

Our unique competitive advantage Why disruptive?

  • Best-in-class technology resulting from strong internal IT culture: one single database containing all data, allowing us to have an accurate idea of clients' needs
  • PFAs used to technology with a cyborg advisory approach

  • We are the only one player able to combine cyborg advisory approach with Big Data analytics

  • The new platforms allow to better exploit the potential of growth of assets and clients and at the same time to better serve them

PFAs' productivity further strenghtened through the Assisted Selling Platform and Co-working Platform

Next step: New platforms to further boost productivity of the Bank (2/3) Boosting our PFAs' efficiency and productivity through Big Data Analytics

Assisted Selling Platform

  • X-Net, Fineco's cyborg advisory platform for our PFAs, will be further empowered with customers' financial gaps
  • The Bank will provide its PFAs with tailor-made solutions to solve customers' financial gaps (e.g. Credit Lombard, pension funds, building blocks based on risk-profile)
  • Efficiency and time-saving for PFAs: it will be easier to approach new customers and to manage them (e.g. automatic rebalancing of funds of funds to keep them on the efficient frontier)
  • The project will start in 2H19 and the new platform is expected to be launched by the beginning of 2020
  • We will start testing the new platform with Credit Lombard in the coming months

Co-Working Platform

  • The platform will be integrated in X-Net and will further improve productivity by enabling our PFAs to share customers (and related fees) with other colleagues
  • Accelerator for our Assisted Selling Platform as it will allow our PFAs to manage more actively a higher number of customers
  • It will represent a further boost to develop Private Banking customers, as they could be covered by more PFAs with a wider set of competences
  • Expected launch: end of 2019

Next step: New platforms to further boost productivity of the Bank (3/3) The Assisted Selling Platform - details

  • Trading Profit: impacts from VISA and Voluntary Scheme valuation
  • Loan Loss Provisions: impacts from deposits with UniCredit
  • Profit on Investments: valuation on UniCredit Bonds and Government Bonds

Accounting standard IFRS 16, starting from January 1st, 2019, replaced the previous set of international accounting principles and interpretations on leasing and in particular IAS17, so comparison with 2018 is not significant.

In detail, P&L IFRS 16 impacted:

  • Net Interest Income: the application of the new accounting standard envisages an impact on NII of -0.2mln following the discounting of the liabilities linked to leasing
  • Write-down/backs and depreciation: rents previously accounted in Other Administrative Expenses, following the application of the new accounting standards are now booked in Write-down/backs and Depreciation

IFRS16: the Bank decided to not disclose comparative data from previous periods, as allowed by new accounting standards.

No effect was recorded in net equity on the date of first application. This is because for the purposes of FTA, the financial liabilities for leasing were valued and recorded at the current value of the residual future payments on the transition date, and the corresponding assets consisting of the right of use were valued at the amount of the financial liability plus the advanced leasing payments recorded in the financial situation immediately prior to the date of initial application (31st December, 2018).

Total assets: 98% not exposed to volatility

Out of 26.4bn, only 0.5bn of Assets valuated at fair value with limited impacts on Equity reserve

(1) Due from banks includes 2.1bn current accounts (immediate available liquidity), 1.7bn term deposits

(2) Other refers to tangible and intangible assets, derivatives and other assets

(3) Other HTC: 384.0mln France, 337.9mln Ireland, 305.3mln Belgium , 305.0mln Austria, 258.0mln Germany, 118.0mln Poland (4) Other HTCS: 69.3mln US, 41.1mln Ireland , 36.3mln France

High-value deposit base confirms strong resilience over time

Sight deposits growth

  • Double-digit deposit growth throughout the last 10 years (+11% CAGR), with no impacts from 2008 financial crisis and 2011 sovereign debt crisis
  • Strong resilience during periods of stress/crisis: 912mln worst liquidity outflow on April 10th , 2012
  • High-value deposit base: most of our deposits is transactional liquidity. Customer rate: zero; cost of funding: 4bps
  • 83% of total sight deposits: core liquidity(1) in a stressed scenario according to clients' behavioral model
  • Structural trends in place in Italy combined with best in class banking platform and high-quality services will continue to support our deposit growth

Headquarters acquisition - details

Deal

  • January 31st 2019: completed the headquarters acquisition in Milan from Immobiliare Stampa S.C.p.A. (controlled by Banca Popolare di Vincenza S.p.A. in compulsory winding up)
  • Price of the deal: €62mln
  • Rationales: favourable conditions of the deal, expected running cost savings and limited additional impacts on capital ratios, given the introduction of new IFRS 16 accounting standard (leasing) in place since January 2019

Capital ratios impacts

  • With the new IFRS 16, leasing value impacts RWA and capital ratios
  • Additional expected impact (building acquisition versus recognition of leasing value): -34bps on CET1 ratio, absolutely manageable considering our rock-solid capital position

Cooperative Compliance Scheme:

FinecoBank admitted in the Cooperative Compliance Scheme with the Revenue Agency

In July 2017, FinecoBank has been admitted to the Cooperative Compliance Scheme(1) , which allows the Bank to take part to a register of taxpayers (published on the Revenue Agency's official website) operating in full transparency with the Italian tax Authorities. This is a fundamental milestone for our Bank

Until now, only few companies have been admitted in Italy, of which among Banks: Fineco, UniCredit, and BPER

Key requirements to be admitted:

  • subjective and objective requirements (resident legal entities with specific sizing thresholds)
  • effective system in place for identifying, measuring, managing and controlling tax risk in line with the "essential" requirements of the Tax Control Framework envisaged by law, Revenue Agency ordinances and by the OECD documents published on the subject

Several advantages:

  • closer relationship of trust and cooperation with the Revenue Agency
  • Increase of the level of certainty on significant tax issues under conditions of full transparency
  • agreed and preventive risk assessment of situations likely to generate tax risks
  • fast track ruling
