Introduction

mBank Group generated a profit before tax of PLN 515.4 million in Q3 2019, which represents an increase by 23.2% quarter on quarter. Net profit attributable to the owners of mBank reached PLN 353.9 million. In Q3 2019, total income grew quarter on quarter, driven by higher core income and net trading income.

The main factors determining the Group's financial results in Q3 2019 were as follows:

  • Increase in total income which rose to PLN 1,430.3 million (+7.6% quarter on quarter), spurred by rising net interest income (+6.7% quarter on quarter), net fee and commission income (+10.0% quarter on quarter) and net trading income (+17.6% quarter on quarter).
  • Slight increase in operating expenses (including depreciation) compared with Q2 2019 to PLN 542.5 million.
  • Increase in cost of risk (sum of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss and gains or losses from non-trading financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss) which amounted to PLN 249.4 million , i.e. 97 basis points compared to 90 basis points in Q2 2019.
  • Lower tax on the Group's balance sheet items (PLN 123.0 million) compared to Q2 2019.
  • Continued organic growth and business expansion as demonstrated by:
    • increase in the number of corporate clients to 25,890 (+888 customers compared with the end of June 2019).
    • accelerating origination of housing loans at PLN 2,291.7 million in Q3 2019 (up 3.2% compared to Q2 2019 and +92.7% compared to Q3 2018) and still high level of new non-mortgage loans (PLN 2,402.0 million, down 8.3% compared to the previous quarter and +3.1% compared to Q3 2018).

At the same time, number of individual clients decreased slightly (to 5,538.9 thousand) due to closing of accounts of Kompakt Finanse customers.

At the end of September 2019, net loans and advances stood at PLN 104,725.6 million, which represents an increase by PLN 4,304.1 million, i.e. 4.3% quarter on quarter. Net of reverse repo/buy sell back transactions and the FX effect, loans and advances grew by 2.9%.

In Q3 2018, the volume of amounts due to customers climbed by PLN 5,624.6 million or 5.1% quarter on quarter - amounts due to corporate clients increased by PLN 4,185.6 million or 11.0% and amounts due to individual clients grew by PLN 1,886.3 million or 2.7%.

Consequently, the loan to deposit ratio of mBank Group stood at 90.3% (loan to deposit ratio – loans and advances to customers/amounts due to customers).

The changes in the Group's performance translated into the following profitability ratios:

  • Gross ROE of 13.4% (compared to 11.1% in Q2 2019);
  • Net ROE of 9.2% (compared with 8.8% in Q2 2019).

The capital ratios reported by mBank Group rose slightly in Q3 2019 amid an increase in own funds (resulting from the inclusion of 50% of H1 2019 profit). As at the end of September 2019, the total capital ratio stood at 19.8% and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio at 16.8%.

Awards and distinctions

During the 20th edition of World's Best Digital Banks competition organised by Global Finance in August 2019, mBank received the award for the sixth time for the best bank in Poland in the Best Corporate Digital Bank category. The jubilee edition of the Global Finance competition was an excellent opportunity to summarise our achievements. Since 2012, we have received a total of 18 awards in 6 categories. The variety of areas in which we have been appreciated during these 8 years is the culmination of our hard work put into the development of all branches of digital corporate banking.

Moreover, in September 2019 we took third place in the "Mobile Banking" category in the Newsweek Polska ranking. The "Friendly Newsweek Bank" ranking, prepared in cooperation with the research company Kantar Millward Brown, was based on the mystery shopping method. The auditors playing this role were testing the services of over twenty banks for three months.

In October, we won an honourable place on the podium in the Best Employer Brand on LinkedIn category in the first, Polish edition of LinkedIn Talent Awards. We have been awarded for the image and recruitment activities that we conduct on this portal. It is worth mentioning that the mBank channel tracks over 27,000 users, and for our employees we have launched a training platform, LinkedIn Learning.

Last but not least, we were awarded with the "Best of the Best" award granted during the festive gala of the 14th edition of the "The Best Annual Report" competition organised by the Accounting and Tax Institute. mBank also received a distinction for the first time for the best Corporate Governance Statement.

More information on awards and distinctions can be found on the bank's website in the "Press Center" section: www.media.mbank.pl

Economy and the banking sector in Q3 2019

Mild slowdown in GDP

Growth in the Polish economy continued to slow modestly in the three months to September 2019. According to the bank's estimates, economic growth contracted from 4.5% in Q2 2019 to about 4.2-4.3% year on year in Q3. Consequently, Polish GDP grew remarkably faster than the GDP of Poland's main trade partners for another quarter in a row. The factors shielding the Polish economy from the impact of weakening external demand were still in effect in Q3. In the bank's opinion, these included private consumption and investments.

Similarly to H1 2019, private consumption in Q3 grew by more than 4% year on year. The drivers of robust household spending remained unchanged: upbeat consumer sentiment, significant increase in real income (supported by social benefits paid under the stimulus package launched this year), booming labour market (record-low unemployment), and secondary effects of the current boom on the real property market. As highlighted by monthly data on economic activity, the slowdown in retail sales was the lowest in 2019 compared with other categories, which indirectly proves the resilience of consumption in Poland.

Investments were another large contributor to economic growth in Q3 2019. The bank estimates that investments grew by approx. 7%, which was down to several trends. Firstly, there was a continued, gradual slowdown in public investments – the trajectory resulting from the investment cycle fuelled by EU spending was coupled with a struggle to complete some of the pending road projects. This was also the case for investments of companies in which the state holds majority stakes. Secondly, investments of companies owned by foreign private investors are likely to have grown at a robust pace. Analysis of historical investment cycles shows that investments of foreign investors usually last four to six quarters, which implies that the investment wave started at the beginning of the year will continue. Investments of Polish private companies remained relatively modest.

The economic slowdown gripping the European industrial sector affected Poland's export figures, though its impact on GDP was fairly limited. On the one hand, this results from the structure of the Polish industry and exports, which makes Poland less prone to the impact of sluggish trade in intermediate and investment goods compared with neighbouring countries; on the other hand, the effect of lower exports of goods was cushioned by trade in services. Consequently, net exports did not make a negative contribution to GDP growth.

Inflation above the target with further increases on the horizon

In Q3 2019 inflation exceeded 2.5%, but kept within the target range with a 2.9% year-on-year peak in consumer prices observed in the last few months. This was attributable to two factors. Firstly, food prices, including prices of fruit, vegetables and processed food, were rising sharply until August inclusive and it was not until September when the seasonal products appeared on sale that growth in food prices was partially curbed. Secondly, core inflation has been rising dynamically in the recent months. Analysis of its component parts leads to two conclusions. Whereas prices of durable and semi-durable goods will likely drop in the coming months, as suggested by the current outlook for the global industrial sector and slower growth in industrial labour costs in Poland, in the last few months prices of services were growing at the fastest pace in more than a decade, which was also nearly the highest growth rate since direct inflation targeting began in Poland. The "organic" (resulting from higher labour costs) rise in prices overlaps with hikes in regulated prices (waste disposal fees) and prices set on the oligopolistic market (telecommunications).

Similarly to previous months, the Monetary Policy Council did not react to rising inflation. According to the Council, the current inflationary impulse is caused by external factors and temporary, and as such it does not require a monetary policy intervention. The Council believes that core inflation will decrease in the quarters to come amid global trends and signs of a further economic slowdown that are also likely to put an end to rising food prices. Therefore, interest rate stabilisation should still be considered the base-case scenario. In the bank's opinion, interest rates will not change at least until the end of 2021.

Global and local risks loom over financial markets

The period of low volatility on the currency market came to an end in Q3 2019. The euro fluctuated within the band of PLN 4.24 and PLN 4.40, the US dollar was worth PLN 3.78-4.04, and the exchange rate of the Swiss franc was within the band of PLN 3.73-4.02. Greater volatility was down to two factors: mounting concerns over global economic growth caused by further escalation of the trade war between the US and China and the resulting self-off of emerging market assets; and concerns regarding potential consequences of the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning foreign currency mortgages. The combination of the two factors led to a sell-off of the Polish currency in August and, again, in the second half of September. However, October showed that these movements were only temporary.

Concerns over global economic growth weakened the zloty, but at the same time helped Polish debt. Yields on Polish Treasury bonds reached an all-time low in Q3, in particular the yield to maturity of 10-year Treasury securities fell to 1.74% in mid-August and was close to 3M WIBOR. Concerns over global economic growth and bets on monetary policy easing by the main central banks were accompanied by positive news regarding Polish fiscal policy, i.e. the draft of a balanced budget for 2020 and good rate of financing sovereign borrowing needs.

Solid growth in lending

Trends observed in the previous quarters continued in Q3. Lending accelerated further driven mainly by a 5.6% year-on-year increase in housing loans (net of FX factors) – the highest level since mid-2012. The labour market situation, consumer sentiment, buy-to-let and buy-to-sell investments in the housing sector, and structural factors are still giving a major boost to mortgage sales. Growth in consumer loans, on the other hand, has been slowing down steadily amid a modest slowdown in consumer spending. Corporate loans were the weakest link (up by 5-5.5% year on year) where demand for credit was dampened by the economic slowdown and funding structure of investment activities (dominated by firms' own money).

Growth in deposits continued to outpace lending growth in Q3. The largest increase was witnessed in household deposits (approx. 11% year on year) driven by robust growth in household incomes, in particular payment of social benefits. Corporate deposits rose less dynamically (approx. 7-8% year on year). Their performance was shaped by deteriorating liquidity and profitability of part of the corporate sector and foreign exchange effects (valuation of FX deposits and exporters' revenues denominated in foreign currencies).

Profit and Loss Account of mBank Group

The profit before tax generated by mBank Group in Q3 2019 stood at PLN 515.4 million and was 23.2% higher compared to Q2 2019, largely due to higher income. Net profit attributable to the owners of mBank increased by 6.7% quarter on quarter to PLN 353.9 million.

An open platform for financial services sale on the intermediaries market

The offer comprises loans, deposits, insurance products, investment and savings products for both individuals and companies

In Q3 2019, mFinanse reported a decrease in mortgage loans sales by 2.5% quarter on quarter (PLN 1,065.3 million in Q3 2019 compared to PLN 1,092.7 million in Q2 2019). In Q3 2019, the sales of cash decreased by 16.5% and reached PLN 193.5 million (PLN 231.6 million a quarter earlier).

In the analysed period, the result generated in the area of sales of unsecured loans for companies increased by 2.3% quarter on quarter (PLN 121.7 million in Q3 2019 compared to PLN 119.0 million in the previous quarter). In Q3 2019, mFinanse recorded also better sales results in the area of car leasing by 79.4% (PLN 42.7 million in Q3 2019 compared to PLN 23.8 million a quarter earlier).

In Q3 2019, the profit before tax of mFinanse stood at PLN 8.7 million compared to PLN 13.8 million in Q2 2019, which represents a decrease on a quarterly basis by PLN 5.1 million. A drop of the result on core operations in Q3 resulted from a decrease in the sale of cash loans to individuals.

The mortgage bank with the longest track record of issuing covered bonds in the Polish capital market

Ensuring stable, long-term and safe financing of the Group using the pooling model in cooperation with mBank

Since 2000, mBank Hipoteczny has been regularly issuing Polish covered bonds in line with the domestic issuance programme. As at the end of Q3 2019, the total value of mortgage bonds issued and traded by mBank Hipoteczny amounted to PLN 7,244.2 million (according to the EUR exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland on 30 September 2019: 4.3736).

In addition, mBank Hipoteczny continues to issue unsecured bonds. At the end of Q3 2019, five series of unsecured bonds worth a total of PLN 515 million had been issued. mBH offers zero-coupon and coupon bonds denominated in PLN with maturities ranging from one to three years.

Since January 2019, mBank Hipoteczny has been implementing a new pooling business model based on close cooperation with mBank, which assumes that sales will be concluded by mBank's salesforce in both retail and commercial area.

In Q3 2019, mBank Hipoteczny's gross loan portfolio reached PLN 12.2 billion against PLN 12.3 billion at the end of Q2 2019, which translates into a quarterly decline of 1.03%. The reduction of the portfolio is related to significant repayments of corporate loans (PLN 528 million of early repayments in Q3 2019). In Q3 2019, two pooling transactions of retail mortgage loans totalling PLN 269 million were carried out.

In Q3 2019 the subsidiary's standalone profit before tax amounted to PLN 25.5 million, up by 52.7% against Q2 2019. The better result in Q3 2019 results primarily from an improvement in the interest income and lower operating expenses of the bank. The increase in the interest income results from the growth of the retail portfolio and early repayments in the commercial portfolio.

Financing offer in the form of leasing or rent and car fleet management

Leasing in e-commerce in cooperation with LeaseLink

The total value of contracts signed in Q3 2019 totalled PLN 1,212 million against PLN 1,466.1 million in Q2 2019, thus falling by 17.3% quarter on quarter. This decrease is caused by the seasonally reduced demand for leasing resulting from the summer holiday period.

The value of new movable assets purchased by mLeasing in Q3 2019 amounted to PLN 1,195.0 million, while new real property contracts were worth PLN 17.0 million. By comparison, in Q2 2019, these figures stood at PLN 1,378.7 million for movable assets and PLN 87.4 million for real property.

The subsidiary's profit before tax in Q3 2019 reached PLN 17.1 million, a drop by 36.7% quarter on quarter (PLN 27.0 million in Q2 2019). The decrease stems primarily from higher credit risk costs (PLN 24.3 million in Q3 2019 against PLN 15.4 million in Q2 2019).

mFaktoring offers financing of an ongoing business operations, receivables management, transfer of insolvency risk, management of debtors' settlement accounts and enforcement of receivables

Fifth largest player on the Polish factoring market among the members of the Polish Factors Association

In Q3 2019, the company's turnover, i.e. the value of purchased invoices, reached PLN 5.4 billion. This is a decrease by 4.6% compared to Q2 2019. However, the high dynamics of turnover allowed the company to maintain its fifth position on the factoring market in Poland, which corresponds to 7.8% market share (data based on the Polish Factor Association).

In the period from January to September 2019, mFaktoring acquired 170 new customers and currently serves 761 customers. All corporate branches actively participated in building the factoring portfolio, reaching the sum of new factoring limits in the amount of PLN 925 million.

The customer structure by segments was as follows: K1 - PLN 384 million (9 customers), K2 - PLN 413 million (58 customers) and K3 - PLN 128.5 million (103 customers).

As a consequence of the turnover dynamics and cost discipline, the company recorded a positive financial result. Gross profit in Q3 2019 amounted to PLN 4.5 million, which means a decrease by 44.8% as compared to Q2 2019. The deterioration of the result on a quarterly basis was caused by the creation of provisions for unpaid receivables.

2. Description of relevant accounting policies

Accounting basis

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2019. Comparative data include the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2018 for the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, additionally for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2018 for the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, and in the case of the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, data as at 31 December 2018.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), debt and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and liabilities related to cash-settled share-based payment transactions all of which have been measured at fair value. Non-current assets held for sale or group of these assets classified as held for sale are stated at the lower of the carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.

The data for the year 2018 presented in these mBank S.A. Group condensed consolidated financial statements was audited by the auditor.

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires the application of specific accounting estimates. It also requires the Management Board to use its own judgment when applying the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The issues in relation to which a significant professional judgement is required, more complex issues, or such issues where estimates or judgments are material to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Financial statements are prepared in compliance with materiality principle. Material omissions or misstatements of positions of financial statements are material if they could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of Group's financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of the omission or misstatement of the position of financial statements or a combination of both. The Group presents separately each material class of similar positions. The Group presents separately positions of dissimilar nature or function unless they are immaterial.

These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that all the entities of the Group, except for mCentrum Operacji Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji which has been put into liquidation, continues as a going concern in the foreseeable future, i.e. in the period of at least 12 months following the reporting date. As of the date of approving these statements, the Bank Management Board has not identified any events that could indicate that the continuation of the operations by the Group is endangered.

Detailed accounting principles applied to the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2018, published on 27 February 2019. These principles were applied consistently over all presented periods, except for the accounting principles applied in connection with the implementation of IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019, which is described in more detail below.

In addition, from the second quarter of 2019, with respect to interim financial statements, the Group applies the principle of accounting for income tax expense on the basis of the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected by the Group in the full financial year.

New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards

These financial statements include the requirements of all the International Accounting Standards and the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union, and the related with them interpretations which have been endorsed and binding for annual periods starting on 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases

The Standard was issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on 13 January 2016 and it has been accepted by the European Union. IFRS 16 applies for annual reporting periods beginning in or after 1 January 2019. The incoming standard supersedes regulations effectual until 31 December 2018: IAS 17 Leasing, IFRIC Interpretation 4 and SIC Interpretations 15 and 27. The new standard introduced a single lessee accounting model. As per IFRS 16, the contract is, or contains, a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Transfer of the right of use occurs when it concerns an identified asset, for which the lessee possesses the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use.

If lease definition is executed, a company recognizes the right to use of the leased asset and a financial liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments, excluding short-term lease contracts lasting no longer than 12 months and lease contracts concerning immaterial lease assets.

The expenses related to the use of leased assets, previously presented as overhead costs, currently are classified as depreciation and interest expenses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, while liabilities under lease agreements are settled using the effective interest rate.

Impact of IFRS 16 on financial statements

In the first quarter of 2019, the Group completed the implementation of IFRS 16 (project), which was planned in three stages:

  • stage I - analysis of all contracts for purchase of services, regardless of the current qualification, aimed at selecting those contracts on the basis of which the Group uses assets belonging to suppliers,

  • stage II – assessment of contracts identified in the first stage in terms of meeting the criteria for considering leasing in accordance with IFRS 16,

  • stage III - implementation of IFRS 16 based on the developed concept.

The object of the analyzes were consisted of all financial leasing contracts, operating lease, rental agreements, as well as the right of perpetual usufruct of land. In addition, the transactions of acquired services (costs of external services within operating activities) were analyzed in terms of the use of an identified asset.

As part of the project, the Group made relevant changes to the accounting policy and operational procedures. Methodologies for the correct identification of contracts that are leasing and the collection of data necessary for the correct accounting treatment of these transactions have been developed and implemented. In addition, the Group has implemented relevant changes in the IT systems of the Group companies, so that they are adapted to collect and process relevant data.

The Group decided to implement the standard on 1 January 2019. In accordance with the transitional provisions included in IFRS 16, the new principles were adopted retrospectively with reference to the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new standard to equity as at 1 January 2019. Therefore, comparative data for the financial year 2018 have not been restated (modified retrospective approach).

Individual adjustments resulting from the implementation of IFRS 16 are described below.

Description of adjustments

(a) Recognition of leasing liabilities

After the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognizes lease liabilities in connection with a lease that was previously classified as an operating lease in accordance with the principles of IAS 17 Leasing. The liabilities result primarily from lease contracts for real estate, the right of perpetual usufruct of land and car leasing. These liabilities have been measured at the present value of lease payments remaining to be paid at the date of application of IFRS 16, discounted using the leasing interest rate as at 1 January 2019, calculated on the basis of the Bank's incremental borrowing rate.

At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term:

  • fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable,
  • variable lease payments that depend on market index or a rate
  • amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees,
  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option,

  • payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

In order to calculate discount rates for IFRS 16, the Group assumed that the discount rate should reflect the cost of financing that would be incurred to purchase the leased asset.

As at 1 January 2019, the discount rate calculated by the Group amounted to:

  • for contracts in PLN: 1.95%
  • for contracts in EUR: 0.02%
  • for contracts in USD: 2.93%
  • for contracts in CZK: 2.19%
  • (b) Recognition of right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost and presented in the statement of financial position together with the assets owned by the Group along with the breakdown of additional information in the explanatory notes.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
  • initial direct costs incurred by the lessee in connection with the conclusion of the leasing contract,

  • an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or carry out renovations.

(c) Application of estimates

The implementation of IFRS 16 required making certain estimates and calculations that have an impact on the valuation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. They include, among others:

  • determination of the duration of contracts (for contracts with an indefinite period or with the possibility of extending the Group applied the reasonably certain period of lease, due to significant economic factors discouraging the Group from terminating the contract)

  • determining the interest rate used to discount future cash flows,

  • determination of the depreciation rate.

(d) The use of practical simplifications

When applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group applied the following practical simplifications allowed by the standard:

  • applying one discount rate to the portfolio of leasing agreements with similar features,

  • contracts for operating leases with the remaining lease period of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 were treated as short-term leasing,

  • for operating lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (less than PLN 20,000), the Group did not recognize any lease liabilities or related right-of-use assets. Lease payments on this account are recognized as expenses during the leasing period.

  • the exclusion of initial direct costs in the measurement of right-of-use assets on the date of initial application, and

  • using the time perspective (using the knowledge gained after the fact) in determining the leasing period, if the contract includes options for extending or terminating the lease agreement.

Impact on the consolidated statement of financial position of mBank Group

The impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 on the recognition of additional financial liabilities and related right-of-use is presented in the table below:

Lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 527 562
Other adjustments to right-of-use assets 1 129
Right-of-use assets as at 1 January 2019 528 691

Impact on the income statement

Since 2019 in the Group's income statement, a change in the classification of costs will appear (rental costs were replaced by depreciation and interest expense) and the time of recognition (recognition of leasing costs will be faster due to recognition of interest cost using the effective interest rate method) which was previously not applied to contracts other than those classified as finance leasing in accordance with IAS 17).

Impact on equity

The implementation of IFRS 16 did not affect retained earnings and equity of the Group as at 1 January 2019.

Impact on capital ratios

Due to the inclusion of lease agreements in the Group's balance sheet as at 1 January 2019, the total amount of risk exposures increased, and thus the total capital ratio of the Group decreased by ca. 15 basis points (total capital ratio of the Bank decreased by ca. 19 basis points).

Published Standards and Interpretations which have been issued but are not yet binding or have not been adopted early

These financial statements do not include standards and interpretations listed below which await endorsement of the European Union or which have been endorsed by the European Union but entered or will enter into force after the balance sheet date.

In relation to standards and interpretations that have been approved by the European Union, but entered or will enter into force after the balance sheet date, the Group did not use the possibility of early application.

Standards and interpretations not yet approved by the European Union:

IFRS 17, Insurance contracts, published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") on 18 May 2017, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2021.

IFRS 17 defines a new approach to the recognition, valuation, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. The main purpose of IFRS 17 is to guarantee the transparency and comparability of insurers' financial statements. In order to meet this requirement the entity will disclose a lot of quantitative and qualitative information enabling the users of financial statements to assess the effect that insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity. IFRS 17 introduces a number of significant changes in relation to the existing requirements of IFRS 4. They concern, among others: aggregation levels at which the calculations are made, methods for the valuation of insurance liabilities, recognition a profit or loss over the period the entity provides insurance coverage, reassurance recognition, separation of the investment component and presentation of particular items of the balance sheet and profit and loss account of reporting units including the separate presentation of insurance revenues, insurance service expenses and insurance finance income or expenses.

The Group is of the opinion that the application of the interpretation will have no significant impact on the financial statements in the period of their initial application.

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (issued on 29 March 2018) effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards is a document that sets out the objective of the financial reporting, the qualitative characteristics of useful financial information, a description of the reporting entity, definitions of an asset, a liability, equity, income and expenses, criteria of recognition assets and liabilities in financial statements and guidance on when to derecognize them, measurement bases and guidance on when to use them, as well as concepts and guidance on presentation and disclosure.

The Group is of the opinion that the application of the interpretation will have no significant impact on the financial statements in the period of their initial application.

Amendments to IFRS 3, Definition of a Business, published by the International Accounting Standards Board on 22 October 2018, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The main amendments are to clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The assessment of whether the market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs has been removed. Moreover, guidance and illustrative examples have been added to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired, and the definitions of a business and of outputs have been narrowed by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs. An optional concentration test has been added that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

The Group is of the opinion that the application of the interpretation will have no significant impact on the financial statements in the period of their initial application.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, Definition of Material, published by the International Accounting Standards Board on 31 October 2018, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2020.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 clarify the definition of material and its application by aligning the wording of the definition of material across IFRS Standards and other publications and making minor improvements to that wording, as well as including some of the supporting requirements in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements in the definition to give them more prominence. The explanation accompanying the definition of material was clarified. The amendments have the objective to help entities make better materiality judgements without substantively changing existing requirements.

The Group is of the opinion that the application of the amended standard will have no significant impact on the financial statements in the period of their initial application.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 26 September 2019, binding for annuals periods starting on or after 1 January 2020.

The Group is currently analyzing the impact of these changes on the financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (issued on 11 September 2014) - the endorsement process of these Amendments has been postponed by EU - the effective date was deferred indefinitely by IASB.

Comparative data

In Q4 2018, the Group adjusted the disclosure concerning the impact of IFRS 9 implementation as at 1 January 2018, by introducing the following changes, which required adjustment of prior period errors and restatement of comparative data for the first half of 2018 included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

a) classification of loans and advances granted to customers whose interest structure was based on the quadrupled lombard rate, to fair value through profit or loss category

The portfolio of loans and advances granted to customers in the carrying amount of PLN 447 793 thousand as at 30 September 2018, composed mainly of credit cards whose interest structure was based on the quadrupled lombard rate, was recorded in "Non-trading financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss." Before, the portfolio was recorded in "Financial assets measured at amortised cost". In view of the emerging market practice, the bank ultimately decided to classify the portfolio as measured at fair value through profit or loss. The difference between the fair value of this portfolio and the value at amortized cost was immaterial, therefore the Group did not adjust the value of this portfolio as at 30 September 2018.

Due to the change in the classification of this portfolio, interest income on these loans for the three quarters of 2018 in the amount of PLN 27 475 thousand was transferred from the item "Interest income accounted for using the effective interest method - Interest income on financial assets at amortized cost - Loans and advances" to item "Income similar to interest on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – Non-trading financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss – Loans and advances".

Impairment of these loans in the amount of PLN 4 367 thousand, included in the income statement for the three quarters of 2018 in the item "Impairment or reversal of impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss - Financial assets at amortized cost - Loans and advances" have been transferred to "Gains and losses on financial assets not held for trading that are compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss – Loans and advances".

b) classification of the retail mortgage loan portfolio to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - the correction applies only to the Bank's stand-alone data

Due to a change in business model assessment, the portfolio of loans and advances customers comprising retail mortgage loans which in the future could be sold to mBank's subsidiary mBank Hipoteczny and serve as collateral for covered bond issues, the Bank classified those portfolios to "Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income".

In the financial statements of financial position for the third quarter of 2018, the Bank classified such loan portfolios to:

  • financial assets valued at amortized cost PLN 2 466 715 thousand,
  • financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss PLN 1 455 655 thousand.

The Bank measured to fair value the portfolio of retail mortgage loans previously measured at amortized cost, due to immateriality it did not adjust the value of this portfolio as at 30 September 2018. The revaluation effect was recognized in other comprehensive income in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Due to reclassification of loans and advances portfolio, interest income related to the loans previously classified as assets held for trading valued at fair value through profit or loss for the three quarters of 2018 in the amount of PLN 19 148 thousand, was transferred from item "Income similar to interest on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – Financial assets held for trading – Loans and advances" to item "Interest income accounted for using the effective interest method – Interest income on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – Loans and advances".

The valuation of the loans previously classified as assets held for trading measured at fair value through profit or loss for the three quarters of 2018 in the amount of minus PLN 1 178 thousand, recognized in the Income statement as "Net trading income - Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities held for trading – Loans and advances" was transferred to the item "Impairment or reversal of impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – Loans and advances".

c) reclassification of VISA's preference shares

The preferred shares in VISA with a fair value of PLN 64 653 thousand as at 30 September 2018 were moved from "Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income" to "Non-trading financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss" as, according to IAS 32, they do not match the definition of an equity instrument. Due to its characteristics, the instrument fails the SPPI test. The adjustment of the comparative data as at 30 September of 2018 resulted in the transfer of the valuation of these instruments in the net amount of PLN 25 254 thousand being moved from "Other components of equity" to the "Profit from the previous years" in the amount of PLN 12 021 thousand and the current result to the item "Gains or losses on non-trading financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss - Debt securities" in the amount of PLN 16 339 thousand and "Income tax" in the amount minus PLN 3 106 thousand.

In addition, in the financial statements for 2018, in connection with the implementation of IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers", the Group made the changes to income and expenses presentation described below, which required adjustment of prior period errors and restatement of comparative data for the third quarter of 2018 included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

a) netting of part of fees and commissions income and expenses from card organizations

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the Group has netted fees and commissions income from card organizations for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2018 in the amount of PLN 27 228 thousand, which constituted the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Bank, with fees and commissions expenses. The change did not affect the result on fees and commissions.

b) netting revenues and costs due to fees and commissions related to car fleet management - the correction applies only to consolidated data of the Group

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the Group decreased by PLN 8 106 thousand fees and commissions expenses for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2018, i.e. by the amount of fees and commissions income related to the leasing car fleet management, which were reimbursed to the Group. The change did not affect the result on fees and commissions.

The impact of the changes introduced on the comparative data presented in these financial statements is presented in the tables below.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period 15 825 470 - 15 825 470

The above described and presented changes of comparative data are included in these financial statements in all the notes to which such changes were applicable.

Additionally, from half year 2019, the Group changed the rules for presenting balance sheet comparative data in interim financial statements to align the presentation with the prevailing market practice. As comparative data of balance sheet items, the Group only shows data at the end of the previous financial year, but does not show data at the end of the same period of the previous year.

3. Major estimates and judgments made in connection with the application of accounting policy principles

The Group applies estimates and adopts assumptions which impact the values of assets and liabilities presented in the subsequent period. Estimates and assumptions, which are continuously subject to assessment, rely on historical experience and other factors, including expectations concerning future events, which seem justified under the given circumstances.

Impairment of loans and advances

The Group reviews its loan portfolio in terms of possible impairments at least once per quarter. In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognised in the income statement, the Group assesses whether any evidence exists that would indicate some measurable reduction of estimated future cash flows attached to the loan portfolio. The methodology and the assumptions (on the basis of which the estimated cash flow amounts and their anticipated timing are determined) are regularly verified. If the current value of estimated cash flows for portfolio of loans and advances which are impaired, change by +/-10%, the estimated loans and advances impairment would either decrease by PLN 55.5 million or increase by PLN 65.9 million as at 30 September 2019, respectively (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 51.3 million and PLN 64.2 million, respectively). This estimation was performed for portfolio of loans and advances individually assessed for impairment on the basis of future cash flows due to repayments and recovery from collateral. The rules of determining writedowns and provisions for impairment of credit exposures have been described under Note 3.4.6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2018, published on 27 February 2019.

Provisions for legal risks

Provisions for legal proceedings are recognized for the value in dispute and other costs on each reporting date based on an estimate of the probability of loss. However, the Group's final liability may differ from the provisions that have been recognized, as a high degree of judgement is involved in assessing the probability of uncertain liabilities in such legal proceedings and quantifying them. These estimates may turn out to be inaccurate at a later stage of the proceedings.

The Group closely observes the developments in courts verdicts in legal proceedings regarding mortgage and housing loans in CHF, including impact of the CJEU judgment described in Point 26 of Selected explanatory information "Proceedings before a court, arbitration body or public administration authority". As too few binding verdicts have been issued by Polish courts since the date of the CJEU ruling the Group was not in a possession of sufficient information to assess a change in outcome of those legal proceedings. However, given the recent development concerning the above issues the Management Board of the Bank decided to increase the level of provisions related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements from PLN 66.1 million as of 30 June 2019 to PLN 132.2 million as of 30 September 2019. The Group will monitor these issues in subsequent periods and will appropriately take into account the potential impact of changes in court rulings.

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments not listed on active markets is determined by applying valuation techniques. All the models are approved prior to being applied and they are also calibrated in order to assure that the obtained results indeed reflect the actual data and comparable market prices. As far as possible, observable market data originating from an active market are used in the models. Methods for determining the fair value of financial instruments are described in Note 2.8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2018, published on 27 February 2019.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the losses can be utilised. Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits.

Income tax in interim financial statements

Income tax in interim financial statements is accrued in accordance with IAS 34. Interim period tax expense is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

The calculation of the average annual effective income tax rate requires the use of a pre-tax income forecast for the entire fiscal year and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax base. The projected annual effective tax rate used to calculate the income tax expense during the three quarters of 2019 was 30.6%.

Revenue and expenses from sale of insurance products bundled with loans

Revenue from sale of insurance products bundled with loans are split into interest income and fee and commission income based on the relative fair value analysis of each of these products.

The remuneration included in fee and commission income is recognised partly as upfront income and partly including deferring over time based on the analysis of the stage of completion of the service.

The Group leads in case of insurance policies bundled with loans to upfront recognition less than 10% of bancassurance income associated with cash and car loans and 0% to approximately 25% of bancassurance income associated with mortgage loans. Recognition of the remaining part of the income is spread over the economic life of the associated loans. Expenses directly linked to the sale of insurance products are recognised using the same pattern.

Liabilities due to post-employment employee benefits

The costs of post-employment employee benefits are determined using an actuarial valuation method. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and other factors. Due to the long–term nature of these programmes, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

Leasing classification

The Group as lessor makes judgement classifying lease agreements as finance lease or operating lease based on the economic substance of the transaction basing on professional judgment whether substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset were transferred or not.

4. Business segments

Following the adoption of "management approach" of IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Bank's Management Board (the chief operating decision-maker), which is responsible for allocating resources to the reportable segments and assesses their performance.

The classification by business segments is based on client groups and product groups defined by homogenous transaction characteristics. The classification is consistent with sales management and the philosophy of delivering complex products to the Bank's clients, including both standard banking products and more sophisticated investment products. The method of presentation of financial results coupled with the business management model ensures a constant focus on creating added value in relations with clients of the Bank and Group companies and should be seen as a primary division, which serves the purpose of both managing and perceiving business within the Group.

The Group conducts its business through different business segments, which offer specific products and services targeted at specific client groups and market segments. The Group currently conducts its operations through the following business segments:

  • The Retail Banking segment, which divides its customers into mBank customers and Private Banking customers and which offers a full range of the Bank's banking products and services as well as specialized products offered by a number of subsidiaries belonging to the Retail Banking segment. The key products in this segment include current and savings accounts (including accounts in foreign currencies), term deposits, lending products (retail mortgage loans and non-mortgage loans such as cash loans, car loans, overdrafts, credit cards and other loan products), debit cards, insurance products, investment products, brokerage and leasing services offered to both individual customers and to micro-businesses. The results of the Retail Banking segment include the results of foreign branches of mBank in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Retail Banking segment also includes the results of mFinanse S.A. and as well as the results of retail segments of mLeasing Sp. z o.o., Asekum Sp. z o.o., LeaseLink Sp. z o.o. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • The Corporates and Financial Markets segment, which is divided into two sub-segments:
  • Corporate and Investment Banking sub-segment (business line), which targets small, medium and large-sized companies and public sector entities. The key products offered to these customers include transactional banking products and services including current account products, multi-functional internet banking, tailor-made cash management and trade finance services, term deposits, foreign exchange transactions, a comprehensive offer of short-term financing and investment loans, cross-border credit, project finance, structured and mezzanine finance services, investment banking products including foreign exchange options, forward contracts, interest rate derivatives and commodity swaps and options, structured deposit products with embedded options (interest on structured deposit products are directly linked to the performance of certain underlying financial instruments such as foreign exchange options, interest rate options and stock options), debt origination for corporate clients, treasury bills and bonds, non-government debt, medium-term bonds, buy sell back and sell buy back transactions and repo transactions, as well as leasing, factoring and brokerage services. The Corporate and Investment Banking sub-segment includes the results of the following subsidiaries: mFaktoring S.A., Garbary Sp. z o.o., Tele-Tech Investment Sp. z o.o. as well as the results of corporate segments of mLeasing Sp. z o. o., Asekum Sp. z o.o., LeaseLink Sp. z o.o. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • Financial Markets sub-segment (business line) consists primarily of treasury, financial markets, and financial institutions operations, manages the liquidity, interest rate and foreign exchange risks of the Bank, its trading and investment portfolios, and conducts market making in PLN denominated cash and derivative instruments. The Bank also maintains an extensive correspondent banking network and also develops relationships with other banks providing products such as current accounts, overdrafts, stand alone and syndicated loans and loans insured by KUKE to support the Polish export market. This sub-segment also includes the results of mFinance France S.A. as well as the results of mLeasing Sp. z o.o and mBank Hipoteczny S.A. with regard to activities concerning funding.

Operations which are not included in the Retail Banking segment and the Corporates and Financial Markets segment are reported under "Other". This segment includes the results of mCentrum Operacji Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji, BDH Development Sp. z o.o., Future Tech Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty.

The principles of segment classification of the Group's activities are described below.

Transactions between the business segments are conducted on regular commercial terms.

Allocation of funds to the Group companies and assigning them to particular business segments results in funding cost transfers. Interest charged for these funds is based on the Group's weighted average cost of capital and presented in operating income.

Internal fund transfers between the Bank's units are calculated at transfer rates based on market rates. Transfer rates are determined on the same basis for all operating units of the Bank and their differentiation results only from currency and maturity structure of assets and liabilities. Internal settlements concerning internal valuation of funds transfers are reflected in the results of each segment.

Assets and liabilities of a business segment comprise operating assets and liabilities, which account for most of the statement of financial position, whereas they do not include such items as taxes or loans.

The separation of the assets and liabilities of a segment, as well as of its income and costs, is done on the basis of internal information prepared at the Bank for the purpose of management accounting. Assets and liabilities for which the units of the given segment are responsible as well as income and costs related to such assets and liabilities are attributed to individual business segments. The financial result of a business segment takes into account all the income and cost items attributable to it.

The business operations of particular companies of the Group are fully attributed to the appropriate business segments (including consolidation adjustments).

The primary basis used by the Group in the segment reporting is business line division. In addition, the Group's activity is presented by geographical areas reporting broken down into Poland and foreign countries because of the place of origin of income and expenses. Foreign countries segment includes activity of mBank's foreign branches in Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as activity of foreign subsidiary mFinance France S.A. The activity of the company mFinance France S.A., after the elimination of income and expenses and assets and liabilities related to the issue of bonds under the EMTN programme, is presented in the "Foreign countries" segment. The cost of the EMTN programme as well as the related assets and liabilities are presented in the segment "Poland".

Derivative financial instruments

The Group has the following types of derivative instruments:

Forward currency transactions represent commitments to purchase foreign and local currencies, including outstanding spot transactions. Futures for currencies and interest rates are contractual commitments to receive or pay a specific net value, depending on currency rate of exchange or interest rate variations, or to buy or sell a foreign currency or a financial instrument on a specified future date for a fixed price established on the organised financial market. Because futures contracts are collateralised with fair-valued cash or securities and the changes of the face value of such contracts are accounted for daily in reference to stock exchange quotations, the credit risk is marginal.

FRA contracts are similar to futures except that each FRA is negotiated individually and each requires payment on a specific future date of the difference between the interest rate set in the agreement and the current market rate on the basis of theoretical amount of capital.

Currency and interest rate swap contracts are commitments to exchange one cash flow for another cash flow. Such a transaction results in swap of currencies or interest rates (e.g., fixed to variable interest rate) or combination of all these factors (e.g., cross-currency CIRS). With the exception of specific currency swap contracts, such transactions do not result in swaps of capital. The credit risk of the Group consists of the potential cost of replacing swap contracts if the parties fail to discharge their liabilities. This risk is monitored daily by reference to the current fair value, proportion of the face value of the contracts and market liquidity. The Group evaluates the parties to such contracts using the same methods as for its credit business, to control the level of its credit exposure.

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting for fixed interest rate Eurobonds issued by mFinance France S.A, subsidiary of mBank, fixed interest rate mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny a subsidiary of mBank, fixed interest rate loans received by mBank from European Investment Bank, fixed interest rate bonds issued by the Bank directly and variable rate loans indexed to market rates, granted by the Bank.

Moreover, the Group applies cash flow hedge accounting of the part of loans at a variable interest rate indexed to the market rate portfolio, granted by the Bank.

Hedging instrument in both types of hedge accounting are fix to float Interest Rate Swap.

Detailed information on hedge accounting are presented in these Note below.

Currency and interest rate options are agreements, pursuant to which the selling party grants the buying party the right, but not an obligation, to purchase (call option) or sell (put option) a specific quantity of a foreign currency or a financial instrument at a predefined price on or by a specific date or within an agreed period. In return for accepting currency or interest rate risk, the buyer offers the seller a premium. An option can be either a public instrument traded at a stock exchange or a private instrument negotiated between the Group and a customer (private transaction). The Group is exposed to credit risk related to purchased options only up to the balance sheet value of such options, i.e. the fair value of the options.

Market risk transactions include futures contracts as well as commodity options, stock options and index options.

Face values of certain types of financial instruments provide a basis for comparing them to instruments disclosed in the statement of financial position but they may not be indicative of the value of the future cash flows or of the present fair value of such instruments. For this reason, the face values do not indicate the level of the Group's exposure to credit risk or price change risk. Derivative instruments can have positive value (assets) or negative value (liabilities), depending on market interest or currency exchange rate fluctuations. The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments may be subject to strong variations.

Hedge accounting

In accordance with the IFRS9 provisions, only on the day of initial application the Bank had the opportunity to choose as its accounting policy element to continue to apply the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements instead of the IFRS 9 requirements.

IFRS 9 requires the Bank to ensure that its hedging relationships are compliant with the risk management strategy applied by the Bank and its objectives. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements with regard to the assessment of hedge effectiveness, rebalancing of the hedge relationship as well as it prohibits voluntary discontinuation of hedge accounting (i.e. in the absence of the conditions to stop the application of hedge accounting, as defined in the standard).

The Group decided to continue from 1 January 2018, to apply the hedge accounting requirements in accordance with IAS 39.

The Group determines the hedge ratio based on the nominal value of the hedged item and hedging instrument and it is 1:1 except for mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (mBH) at mBank Group hedging relationship, for which the hedged ratio was determined based on BPV (Basis Point Value).

The sources of hedge ineffectiveness for hedging relationships for which the ineffectiveness arises include mismatch of cash flow dates and repricing periods, base mismatch (e.g. another WIBOR), nominal mismatch in case when the hedge ratio is different than 1:1, CVA/DVA mismatch which is in hedging instrument and is not in hedged instrument and mismatch due to initial valuation of hedging instruments if a previously acquired derivative was included in hedging relationship.

Fair value hedge accounting

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting, under which the only kind of hedged risk is the risk of changes in interest rates.

At the end of each month, the Group evaluates effectiveness of the applied hedging by carrying out analysis of changes in fair value of the hedged and hedging instruments in respect of the hedged risk in order to confirm that hedging relationships are effective in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2018, published on 27 February 2019.

Description of the hedging relation

The Group hedges against the risk of change in fair value:

  • Fixed interest rate Eurobonds issued by mFinance France S.A. (mFF), subsidiary of mBank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates;
  • Mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (mBH), a subsidiary of mBank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates;
  • Loans received by mBank from European Investment Bank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates;
  • Fixed interest bonds issued by mBank. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates.

Hedged items

The hedged items are:

  • two tranches of fixed interest rate Eurobonds issued by mFF with a total nominal value of EUR 1 000 000 thousand,
  • one tranche of fixed interest rate Eurobonds issued by mFF with a total nominal value of CHF 200 000 thousand,
  • fixed interest rate mortgage bonds issued by mBH with a nominal value of EUR 576 900 thousand,
  • fixed interest rate loans received by mBank from European Investment Bank with a nominal value of respectively EUR 100 000 thousand, CHF 113 110 thousand, CHF 175 560 thousand and CHF 138 388 thousand,
  • fixed rate bonds issued by mBank S.A. with a nominal value of CHF 305 000 thousand,
  • fixed rate bonds issued by mBank S.A. with a nominal value of EUR 500 000 thousand.

Cash flow hedge accounting

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting of the part of loans at a variable interest rate indexed to the market rate portfolio, granted by the Bank. An Interest Rate Swap is the hedging instrument changing the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. The interest rate risk is the hedged risk within applied by the Group cash flow hedge accounting. The ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the hedging instrument is presented in Note 8 in the position "Other net trading income and result on hedge accounting". Portion of the gains or losses on the hedging instrument that is an effective hedge, is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as "Cash flow hedges (net)".

In connection with the completion of the analysis of the treatment of certain transactions in previous years, the Group created a provision amounting to PLN 47 039 thousand for potential additional payment of tax on selected financial institutions (banking tax).

26. Fair value of assets and liabilities

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 at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction of selling the asset or transferring a liability occurs either:

  • on the main market for the asset or liability,
  • in the absence of a main market, for the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

In line with IFRS9, for accounting purposes, the Group determines the valuation of its assets and liabilities through amortised cost or through fair value. In addition, for the positions that are valued through amortised cost, there is calculated and disclosed fair value, but only for disclosure purposes – according to IFRS7.

The approach to the method used for the loans that are fair valued in line of IFRS9 requirements, is described in the point 3.4.7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2018, published on 27 February 2019.

Following market practices the Group values open positions in financial instruments using either the mark-to-market approach or is applying pricing models well established in market practice (markto-model method) which use as inputs market prices or market parameters, and in few cases parameters estimated internally by the Group. All significant open positions in derivatives are valued by marked-to-model using prices observable in the market. Domestic commercial papers are marked to model (by discounting cash flows), which in addition to market interest rate curve uses credit spreads estimated internally.

For disclosure purposes , the Group assumed that the fair value of short-term financial liabilities (less than 1 year) is equal to the balance sheet values of such items.

In addition, the Group assumes that the estimated fair value of financial liabilities longer than 1 year is based on discounted cash flows using appropriate interest rates.

The following sections present the key assumptions and methods used by the Group for estimation of the fair values of financial instruments:

Loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers. The fair value for loans and advances to banks and loans and advances to customers is disclosed as the estimated value of future cash flows (including the effect of prepayments) using current interest rates including appropriate credit spreads and is based on the expected maturity of the respective loan agreements. The level of credit spread was determined based on market quotation of median credit spreads for Moody's rating grade. Attribution of a credit spread to a given credit exposure is based on a mapping between Moody's rating grade and internal rating grades of the Group. To reflect the fact that the majority of the Group's exposures is collateralised whereas the median of market quotation is centred around unsecured issues, the Group applied appropriate adjustments.

Financial liabilities. Financial instruments representing liabilities include the following:

  • Contracted borrowings;
  • Deposits;
  • Issues of debt securities;
  • Subordinated liabilities.

The fair value for these financial liabilities with more than 1 year to maturity is based on cash flows discounted using interest rates. For loans received from Commerzbank in CHF, the Group used the curve based on quotations of Commerzbank CDS for exposures in EUR and quotations of issued bonds under EMTN programme in EUR and CHF. For the loans received from European Investment Bank in EUR the Group used the EBI yield curve. With regard to the own issue as part of the EMTN programme the market price of the relevant financial services has been used.

In the case of deposits, the Group has applied the curve constructed on the basis of quotations of money market rates as well as FRA and IRS contracts for appropriate currencies and maturities. In case of subordinated liabilities, the Group used curves based on cross-currency basis swap levels taking into account the original spread on subordinated liabilities and their maturities.

In case of covered bonds and other debt securities issued by mBank Hipoteczny, for the purpose of the disclosures swap curves and forecasted initial spreads for certain issues are used.

The Group assumed that the fair values of these instruments with less than 1 year to maturity was equal to the carrying amounts of the instruments.

According to the fair value methodology applied by the Group, financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows:

  • Level 1: prices quoted on active markets for the same instrument (without modification);
  • Level 2: prices quoted on active markets for the similar instruments or other valuation techniques for which all significant input data are based on observable market data;
  • Level 3: valuation methods for which at least one significant input data is not based on observable market data.

In 2018 there were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of fair value hierarchy. As at the end of the period 306 763 58 130 72 005 1 266 558 -

Level 1

As at 30 September 2019, at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group has presented the fair value of held for trading government bonds in the amount of PLN 484 595 thousand (see Note 16) and the fair value of government bonds and treasury bills measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of PLN 19 720 738 thousand (see Note 18) (31 December 2018 respectively: PLN 748 294 thousand and PLN 21 251 235 thousand). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 230 220 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 1 230 590 thousand).

In addition, as at 30 September 2019 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 843 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 770 thousand).

These instruments are classified as level 1 because their valuation is directly derived by applying current market prices quoted on active and liquid financial markets.

Level 2

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy mainly includes the fair values of bills issued by NBP in the amount of PLN 2 164 631 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 589 901 thousand), whose valuation is based on a NPV model (discounted future cash flows) fed with interest rate curves generated by transformation of quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets.

In addition, the level 2 category includes the valuation of derivative financial instruments borne on models consistent with market standards and practices, using parameters taken directly from the markets (e.g., foreign exchange rates, implied volatilities of fx options, stock prices and indices) or parameters which transform quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets (e.g. interest rate curves).

As at 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2018, level 2 also includes the value of options referencing on the WIG20 index. For options valuation on WIG 20 index an internal Bank's model (based on implied volatility model) using market parameters is applied.

Level 3

Level 3 of the hierarchy presents the fair values of commercial debt securities issued by local banks and companies in the amount of PLN 1 482 445 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 1 595 063 thousand) and includes the fair value of a debt instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, resulting from the reclassification of preferred stock in Visa Inc.

Level 3 includes also the fair value of local government bonds in the amount of PLN 35 856 thousand (31 December 2018 - PLN 36 388 thousand).

The above mentioned debt instruments are classified as level 3 because in addition to parameters which transform quotations taken directly from active and liquid financial markets (interest rate curves), their valuation uses credit spread estimated by the Bank by means of an internal credit risk model and reflects the credit risk of the issuer. The model uses parameters (e.g. PD, LGD) and information acquired from the market (including credit spreads implied from transactions). Credit risk parameters PD and LGD are not observed on active markets and hence were generated by statistical analysis.

Level 3 as at 30 September 2019 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 2 301 258 thousand (31 December 2018 – PLN 2 748 321 thousand).

The fair value for loans and advances to customers is calculated as the present value of future cash flows (adjusted by prepayments) using current interest rates, including credit spread, cost of liquidity and cost of capital margin. The level of credit spread was determined based on market quotation of median credit spreads for Moody's rating grade. Attribution of a credit spread to a given credit exposure is based on a mapping between Moody's rating grade and internal rating grades of the Group. To reflect the fact that the Group's exposures are in major part collateralised whereas the median of market quotation is centred around unsecured issues, the Group applied appropriate adjustments.

Moreover, level 3 covers mainly the fair value of equity securities amounting to PLN 129 033 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 72 005 thousand). Equity securities presented at level 3 have been valuated using the market multiples method. The market multiples method, consists of valuating the equity capital of a company by using a relation between the market values of the own equity capital or market values of the total capital invested in comparable companies (goodwill) and selected economic and financial figures.

The Group creates provisions for litigations against entities of the Group, which as a result of the risk assessment involve a probable outflow of funds from fulfilling the liability and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the liability can be made. The amount of provisions is determined taking into account the amounts of outflow of funds calculated on the basis of scenarios of potential settlements of disputable issues and their probability estimated by the Group based on the previous decisions of courts in similar matters and the experience of the Group.

The value of provisions for litigations as at 30 September 2019 amounted to PLN 193 129 thousand (PLN 106 321 thousand as at 31 December 2018). A potential outflow of funds due to the fulfilment of the obligation takes place at the moment of the final resolution of the cases by the courts, which is beyond the control of the Group.

Information on the most important court proceedings relating to the issuer's contingent liabilities

  1. Claims of Interbrok's clients

Since 14 August 2008, 170 entities which have been clients of Interbrok Investment E. Dróżdż i Spółka Spółka jawna (hereinafter Interbrok) called the Bank for amicable settlement for the total amount of PLN 386 086 thousand via the District Court in Warsaw. Nine compensation lawsuits were filed against the Bank. Eight of the nine lawsuits were filed by former clients of Interbrok for the total amount of PLN 800 thousand with the proviso that the claims may be extended up to the total amount of PLN 5 950 thousand. The plaintiffs alleged that the Bank had aided in Interbrok's illegal activities, which caused damage to them. With regard to seven of the aforementioned cases, legal proceedings against the Bank were dismissed and the cases were finally concluded. In the eighth case, a plaintiff withdrew their suit waiving the claim and the Regional Court dismissed the action. As far as the ninth suit is concerned, the amount in dispute is PLN 275 423 thousand, including statutory interest and costs of proceedings. According to the claims brought in the suit, this amount comprises the receivables, acquired by the plaintiff by way of assignment, due to the parties aggrieved by Interbrok on account of a reduction (as a result of Interbrok's bankruptcy) of the receivables by a return of the deposits paid by the aggrieved for making investments on the forex market. The plaintiff claims the Bank's liability on the grounds of the Bank's aid in committing the illicit act of Interbrok, consisting in unlicensed brokerage operations. On 7 November 2017, the Regional Court in Warsaw dismissed the action in its entirety. The ruling is not final. The plaintiff appealed.

  1. A lawsuit filed by LPP S.A.

On 17 May 2018, mBank S.A. received a lawsuit filed by LPP S.A. with its registered office in Gdańsk seeking damages amounting to PLN 96 307 009.15 on account of interchange fee. In the lawsuit, LPP S.A. petitioned the court for awarding the damages jointly from mBank S.A. and from other domestic bank.

The plaintiff accuses the two sued banks as well as other banks operating in Poland of taking part in a collusion breaching the Competition and Consumer Protection Act and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In the plaintiff's opinion, the collusion took the form of an agreement in restriction of competition in the market of acquiring services connected with settling clients' liabilities towards the plaintiff on account of payments for goods purchased by them with payment cards in the territory of Poland. According to the plaintiff:

  • a. the banks agreed on the interchange fee amount for transactions made with VISA and/or MasterCard payment cards and charged the plaintiff these amounts,
  • b. the sued banks as well as other banks operating in Poland collaborating with the sued banks charged the plaintiff the interchange fees in the amount agreed on in the collusion and amounts of interchange fees paid by the plaintiff to the sued banks and other banks collaborating with the sued banks in the years 2008 - 2014,
  • c. the plaintiff suffered losses due to the collusion of the sued banks and other banks operating in Poland as the banks agreed on the interchange fee amount and charged the plaintiff the fee, and
  • d. the sued banks were aware of the legal nature of the collusion and economic consequences the plaintiff had to face due to the collusion (the plaintiff's losses: the plaintiff had to pay more than it would have paid if the sued banks and other banks collaborating with the sued banks had not entered in the collusion).

mBank S.A. has submitted its statement of defence on 16 August 2018. The hearing was held on 23 November 2018. The court postponed the hearing and requested the Plaintiff to address formal irregularities in a pleading (reply to the statement of defence). The court accepted the Defendants' requests to summon sixteen banks to join the proceedings and ordered that the banks be served with the summons.

  1. Class action against mBank S.A. concerning the clause on changing interest rate

On 4 February 2011, a class action filed with the Regional Court in Łódź on 20 December 2010 by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman representing a group of 835 individuals, the Bank's retail banking clients, was served on the Bank. The class action was filed to determine the Bank's liability for the improper performance of mortgage loan agreements. It was in particular claimed that the Bank had improperly applied provisions of agreements on changing interest rate, namely that the Bank had not lowered interest on loans, despite the fact that, according to the Plaintiff, it was obliged to do so. The Bank does not agree with the above-mentioned allegations. On 18 February 2011, the Bank responded to the lawsuit filing for its dismissal in whole.

On 6 May 2011, the Regional Court in Łódź decided to dismiss the application for dismissing the lawsuit, filed by mBank S.A., and admitted the case to be heard as a class action. In response to this decision, mBank S.A. filed a complaint with the Court of Appeal in Łódź on 13 June 2011. However, the Court of Appeal in Łódź dismissed mBank S.A.'s complaint on 28 September 2011. Currently, the case proceeds as a class action. Until March 2012, new individuals had been joining the class action. As at 17 October 2012, the group of class members consisted of 1,247 individuals. The Regional Court in Łódź did not establish bail for the benefit of mBank S.A., which was applied for by the Bank. The Bank filed a complaint about this decision. But on 29 November 2012, the Court of Appeal in Łódź overturned the Bank's complaint about the establishment of bail. The judgment is binding and the plaintiff is not obliged to pay bail. The final statement of defence was sent in January 2013 and on 15 February 2013, the plaintiff answered it in a pleading. By its decision of 18 February 2013, the Regional Court in Łódź submitted the case to mediation. On 26 February 2013, the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman appealed against the case being submitted to mediation. On 22 June 2013, a trial was held and on 3 July 2013, the Court announced its judgment allowing the claim in full. According to the Court, the Bank did not properly execute the agreements concluded with consumers, as a result of which they suffered losses. The Bank appealed against this judgment on 9 September 2013. However, on 30 April 2014, the Court of Appeal in Łódź dismissed the appeal of mBank S.A., upholding the stance adopted by the Regional Court expressed in the judgment. Upon receiving a written justification of the judgment, mBank S.A. brought a cassation appeal. The cassation appeal was filed with the Supreme Court by mBank S.A. on 3 October 2014. By its decision of 7 October 2014, the Court of Appeal in Łódź suspended the enforcement of the judgment passed by the Regional Court until the cassation appeal of mBank S.A. has been resolved. On 18 February 2015, the Supreme Court accepted the cassation appeal filed by mBank S.A. for review. On 14 May 2015, the Supreme Court revoked the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Łódź and referred the case back to that court for re-examination. By the decision of 24 September 2015, the Court of Appeal in Łódź admitted the expert opinion evidence in order to verify the legality of mBank's actions connected with changing the interest rates on the mortgage loans covered by the class action in the period from 1 January 2009 to 28 February 2010.

mBank S.A. received the expert's opinion in April 2016. Both parties filed pleadings in which they commented on the opinion. On 22 June 2016, the Court of Appeal in Łódź obliged the expert to submit a supplementary opinion answering the comments made by the parties. The supplementary opinion was issued in September 2016. The expert sustained all the arguments and the standpoint presented in the initial opinion.

On 24 February 2017, a trial was held during which the court admitted the oral supplementary expert opinion as evidence; however, the opinion did not allay the Court's doubts so by the resolution of 6 April 2017, the Court of Appeal admitted another written supplementary expert opinion as evidence. The supplementary opinion was issued by an expert and presented to Parties for comments. On 29 September 2017, the Bank submitted a comprehensive piece of writing with its comments on the opinion. On 30 April 2018, a hearing was held before the Court which accepted supplementary verbal testimony of an expert as evidence. The Court issued a decision obliging mBank to submit certificates containing the history of changes in interest rates applied to each credit agreement covered by the proceedings by 15 June 2018. The court granted the Plaintiff's attorney a period of 21 days to collect data necessary to supplement the opinion by an expert. In June 2018, the Bank filed a comprehensive pleading, in which it requires, among others, the change of an expert. The Bank is waiting for the date of the hearing.

As of 30 September 2019 the total value of claims in this class actions amounted to PLN 5.2 million.

  1. Class action against mBank S.A. concerning indexation clauses

On 4 April 2016, the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman representing a group of 390 individuals, retail clients of mBank, who concluded agreements on CHF-indexed mortgage loans with mBank, filed a class action with the Regional Court in Łódź against the Bank. With subsequent pleadings, the plaintiff reported other individuals who gradually joined the class action.

The class action includes alternative claims for declaring invalidity of the loan agreements in part i.e. in the scope of the provisions related to indexation, or in whole; or for finding that the indexation provisions are invalid as they permit indexation of over 20% and below 20% at the CHF exchange rate from the table of exchange rates of mBank S.A. applicable as at the date of conclusion of each of the loan agreements.

By its decision of 19 December 2016, the Regional Court in Łódź admitted the case to be heard as a class action. mBank filed a complaint about this decision; however, the Court of Appeal in Łódź dismissed the complaint on 15 March 2017.

By its decision of 9 May 2017, the Regional Court in Łódź decided on instigating a class action and set the time limit of three months from the publication of the decision for persons whose claims may be covered by the class action to join the class. Within the time limit set, 352 persons joined the group of class members. As decided by the Court on 13 March 2018, the group is composed of 1,731 persons. The said decision was appealed against by both parties. Regardless of the appeal proceedings, the Court scheduled a hearing for 5 October 2018. On 5 October 2018, after conducting the substantive hearing, hearing the parties and presenting final votes, the court closed the hearing. On 19 October 2018 the court issued a judgment in which it dismissed all claim of the plaintiff. In the oral justification, the court stated that the Plaintiff had not shown that he had a legal interest in bringing the claim in question, and also referred to the validity of loan agreements indexed by CHF, stressing that both the contract itself and the indexation clause are in compliance with both applicable regulations and rules of social coexistence. On 11 January 2019, the appeal of the plaintiff to which the Bank submitted a response.

As of 30 September 2019 the total value of claims in this class actions amounted to PLN 377 million.

Apart from the class action proceedings there are also individual court proceedings initiated against the Bank by its customers in connection with CHF loan agreements. As at 30 September 2019, 3 453 individual court proceedings were initiated against the Group by its customers in connection with CHF loan agreements with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 794.7 million. The value of provisions for all individual and class action court proceedings related to CHF loan agreements amounted to PLN 186.3 million as at 30 September 2019.

Out of the individual proceedings, 2 498 proceedings with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 369 million related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements and include claims for declaring invalidity of the loan agreements in part (i.e. in the scope of the provisions related to indexation) or in whole. The final rulings to-date in the indexation clauses proceedings are favourable to the Group in vast majority of the cases.

However, given the potential impact of the verdict of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (the matter described below) as well as some recent verdicts of Polish courts in similar cases, the risk exists that the observed line of verdicts in such cases may change and the number of such cases may increase. If materialized, such risk might create significant negative impact on mBank Group and other banks having foreign currency mortgage loan portfolios. Since too few binding verdicts have been issued by Polish courts since the date of the CJEU ruling as at the date of signing these financial statements, the Group is unable to reliably estimate the amount of the contingent liability arising from future legal cases concerning CHF loan portfolio. Nonetheless, the Management Board of the Bank decided to increase the level of provisions related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements from PLN 66.1 million as of 30 June 2019 to PLN 132.2 million as of 30 September 2019 as a result of recent developments concerning these issues.

The carrying amount of mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers in CHF presented in the consolidated financial statements of mBank S.A. Group as of 30 September 2019 amounted to PLN 14 232 627 thousand (i.e. CHF 3 533 598 thousand).

Ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding a CHF mortgage

On 3 October 2019 the Court of Justice of the European Union issued the ruling in the prejudicial mode regarding a mortgage linked to the Swiss franc granted by a Polish bank. The submitted prejudicial questions were to determine, among other things, if a generally applicable custom can be used where there is no provision in domestic law that could replace an abusive exchange rate clause. In accordance with CJEU's ruling, the question of abusiveness will be decided by Polish courts. CJEU did not refer to this issue. In addition, CJEU did not make a clear-cut decision regarding the consequences of an exchange rate clause being considered abusive by a domestic court. However, the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN and with interest calculated according to LIBOR was found doubtful by the Court. If an exchange rate clause is found abusive, a domestic court must decide whether the agreement in question can be performed further or should be declared invalid, taking into account the client's will and the consequences of invalidity for the client. CJEU approved the application of a disposable norm (in the bank's opinion article 358 of the Polish Civil Code referring to the NBP fixing rate can be considered to be a disposable norm), if the invalidity of the agreement would be unfavourable for the client. CJEU rejected the application of general provisions referring to a custom or equity principles. The impact of CJEU's ruling on decisions taken by Polish courts is currently difficult to predict.

Verdict of the CJEU regarding the consumer's right to reduce the cost of loan in the event of early repayment of the amount due under the credit agreement

In its judgement of 11 September 2019 in case concerning consumer loans paid off prematurely CJEU ruled that the right of the consumer to a reduction in the total cost of the credit in the event of early repayment of the credit includes all the costs imposed on the consumer. The interpretation constitute an answer to a prejudicial question asked in a court case in which a few banks have participated including mBank.

The judgement of TSUE concerns consumer loans granted by banks in a period starting on 18 December 2011, in the amount not exceeding 255 550 PLN or its equivalent in other currency and mortgage loans granted after 22 July 2017 with no limit of the loan amount, which have been paid off fully or partially. In the CJEU judgement of 11 September 2019 a method of settlement of full costs of a loan in a situation of a premature payment has not been decided.

The judgement will affect future settlements with customers in the event of early repayment of consumer loan. The Bank, like other banking sector entities, is in the process of analyzing the actual effects of the CJEU judgment for its business activities and financial standing. In the third quarter of 2019 the Bank created the provision for potential costs related to this matter amounting to PLN 15 200 thousand.

31. Factors affecting the results in the coming quarter

As described in the Point 26 of Selected explanatory information "Proceedings before a court, arbitration body or public administration authority" concerning the legal cases against the Bank related to CHF indexation clause and TSUE verdict issued on 3rd October 2019, the risk exists that the observed line of verdicts in such cases may change and the number of such cases may increase. If materialized, such risk might create significant negative impact on mBank Group and other banks having foreign currency mortgage loan portfolios.

At the same time in the period of three quarters of 2019, the Group did not observe the impact of the CJEU judgment or Polish courts judgments regarding mortgage and housing loans in CHF on cash flows from this portfolio. However, given the recent developments concerning the above issues the Management Board of the Bank decided to increase the level of provisions related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements from PLN 66.1 million as of 30 June 2019 to PLN 132.2 million as of 30 September 2019.

The Bank is currently analyzing its approach towards valuation of provisions for legal cases related to CHF loan portfolio as well as the valuation of this portfolio in the light of the recent development described above and in the Note 26. The Bank cannot exclude changing that approach which may have significant negative impact on the financial position of the Bank and its financial results in the coming quarter or quarters.

As described in the Point 26 of Selected explanatory information, in its judgement of 11 September 2019 in case concerning consumer loans paid off prematurely CJEU ruled that the right of the consumer to a reduction in the total cost of the credit in the event of early repayment of the credit includes all the costs imposed on the consumer. The judgement will affect future settlements with customers in the event of early repayment of consumer loan. The Bank is in the process of analyzing the actual effects of the CJEU judgment for its business activities and financial standing.

32. Other information

Requirements on mBank Group capital ratios as of 30 September 2019

Starting from 1 January 2019 the binding conservation capital buffer defined in the Act on Macroprudential Supervision over the Financial System and Crisis Management in the Financial System of 5 August 2015 (Dz.U. 2015 item 1513), increased from 1.875% to 2.5% of the total risk exposure amount.

Consequently, taking into account other components of the required level of capital ratios resulting, inter alia, from administrative decisions of the PFSA received in 2018, the required level of capital ratios at the end of September 2019 was as follows:

  • Individual total capital ratio 18.02% and Tier 1 capital ratio 14.98%
  • Consolidated total capital ratio –17.51% and Tier 1 capital ratio 14.60%.

At the date of publication of these financial statements, mBank S.A. and mBank Group S.A. fulfil the KNF requirements related to the required capital ratios on both individual and consolidated levels.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019, the current level of buffer for other systemically important institution (O-SII) will change from 0.50% to 0.75% in line with the KNF decision received regarding the update of the OSII buffer.

More details on capital adequacy of mBank S.A. Group at the end of the third quarter of 2019 are to be found in the Disclosures regarding capital adequacy of mBank S.A. Group.

Proposals for restructuring foreign currency mortgage loans

In recent years, discussions regarding proposals for restructuring mortgage loans granted in foreign currencies to individual clients have been conducted. At the meeting that began on 19 October 2016, the Sejm of the Republic of Poland began working on three draft laws regulating the above-mentioned issue in different ways: a bill presented by the President of the Republic of Poland on the rules for reimbursement of certain debts arising from loan and loan agreements and parliament members' draft Act on restructuring loans denominated or indexed to a currency other than the Polish currency and on the introduction of a ban on such loans and the Act on special rules for the restructuring of foreign currency housing loans due to a change in the exchange rate of foreign currencies to the Polish currency.

As at the date of publication of this report, the intentions for further work on the aforementioned proposals are not known. Therefore, the Bank is not able to reliably asses the probability of implementing the aforementioned solutions as well as estimate the potential impact of the final solutions on the financial statements of the Bank and the mBank Group.
