Credit quality - Consumer loans

Satisfactory risk reward and forward flow agreement reduces downside risk

Coverage1 and loan loss ratio2 Comments

  • Satisfactory risk-reward taken into account margin level on consumer loans.
  • Sale of part of NPL portfolio as a result of the Forward-flow agreement with Kredinor in Q4 2018, and updated PD values contributes to decreased coverage ratio.
  • The forward-flow agreement, entered into with Kredinor in July 2017, reduces downside risk for Easybank as it transfers risk to Kredinor. The agreement is not one-time transaction, but ongoing sales of loans and receivables. The forward flow agreement is fully operational and long term coverage rate decreases as a result of improvement of LGD values in Loss-model.
  • Option to extend the forward flow agreement with Kredinor throughout 2023 with same (favorable) conditions as the initial agreement from July 2017.
