Introduction

The profit before tax generated by mBank Group in Q1 2019 stood at PLN 290.8 million, which represents a decrease by 37.6% quarter on quarter. Net profit attributable to the owners of mBank reached PLN 164.0 million. Income remained stable versus the previous quarter, whereas costs increased considerably.

The main factors determining the Group's financial results in Q1 2019 were as follows:

  • Stable income at the level of PLN 1,261.4 million, i.e. +0.1% quarter on quarter, with a slight increase reported in core income (+1.4% quarter on quarter);
  • Increase in overhead costs (including depreciation) to PLN 715.8 million against the previous quarter due to the annual contribution to the resolution fund of the Bank Guarantee Fund (BFG) posted by mBank in Q1 2019;
  • Reduction in costs of risk (sum of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss and gains or losses from non-trading loans and advances mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss) to PLN 145.6 million, i.e. 61 basis points compared with 73 basis points in Q4 2018;
  • Increase in tax on the Group's balance sheet items on a quarterly basis to PLN 109.1 million;
  • Continued organic growth and business expansion as demonstrated by:
  • increase in the individual customer base to 5,768.0 thousand (+83.0 thousand customers compared to the end of 2018 and +346.7 thousand compared to the end of March 2018);
  • increase in the number of corporate customers to 24,288 (+582 compared to the end of 2018 and +1,972 compared to the end of March 2018);
  • widening of leasing offer for small and medium enterprises thanks to acquisition of LeaseLink, which specialises in leasing payment services, enabling online assets purchase through a digital process.

At the end of March 2019, net loans and advances stood at PLN 97,680.6 million, which represents a quarter-on-quarter increase by PLN 2,958.0 million, i.e. 3.1%. Loans and advances to corporate clients rose by PLN 1,950.0 million, i.e. 4.4% quarter on quarter, whereas loans and advances granted to individual clients increased by PLN 1,150.3 million, which translates into 2.2% quarterly growth. Net of reverse repo/buy sell back transactions and FX effect, the value of loans and advances increased by 2.4%.

In Q1 2019 amounts due to customers rose by PLN 5,639.1 million, i.e. 5.5% quarter on quarter, with amounts due to corporate customers growing by PLN 2,317.7 million, i.e. 6.6% quarter on quarter, and amounts due to individual customers up by PLN 2,297.9 million or 3.5%.

Consequently, the loan to deposit ratioa of mBank Group decreased compared with the end of 2018 and stood at 90.7%.

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

  • Gross ROE of 7.8% (13.3% in Q4 2018);
  • Net ROE of 4.4% (9.5% in Q4 2018).

mBank Group's capital ratios remained stable in Q1 2019 due to an increase in own funds (resulting from the inclusion of 50% of the profit from the first three quarters of 2018 and 100% of the profit from Q4 2018) and an increase in the total risk exposure amount. The Total Capital Ratio stood at 20.7% and the Core Tier 1 ratio at 17.6% at the end of March 2019.

Economy and the banking sector in Q1 2019

Strong GDP growth continues

The economic growth remained strong throughout Q1 2019. According to our estimates based on monthly data on economic activity, the gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.7% year on year in Q1 2019, which is only slightly below the figure reported at the end of the previous year (4.9% year on year). Poland's economic performance came as a positive surprise to the majority of analysts due to the lack of a significant negative reaction to the slowdown affecting its main trading partners in 2018. In addition, industrial output and the construction and assembly sector grew dynamically.

With better-than-expected results, private consumption remained the most important growth engine in early 2019. It was propped up by high consumer confidence, which was close to an all-time peak. Aside from standard factors, such as the tight labour market, record-low unemployment and a high increase in real disposable incomes, consumer confidence might have been additionally boosted by the fiscal stimulus announced by the government. The package worth approximately 1% of GDP this year and 2% in 2020 will be the key element of the economic landscape in the quarters to come.

In our opinion, the contribution of investment dropped slightly in Q1 2019 due to an expected and scheduled slowdown in public investment (the spending peak fell on 2018) and rather moderate growth in private investment, the only exception being construction investment, in particular the residential property sector reporting very good figures in early 2019. A decrease in productive capacity utilisation in industry implies that growth in investment in machines and equipment (including in the process industry) might have been muted.

In addition, economic growth in Q1 was probably stifled by net exports. Interestingly, the (largely anticipated) increase in the trade deficit that took place in Q1 2019 was not caused by lower exports, but by a significant and abrupt increase in imports in the first months of 2019. The roots are yet to be analysed in detail. Nonetheless, a combination of higher imports of commodities and consumer and investment goods accompanied by high utilisation of domestic productive capacity is the likely explanation (commentaries released by the National Bank of Poland point to this as well).

High volatility of inflation with further increases on the horizon

The year started with an abrupt decrease in the inflation rate to 0.7% year on year caused mainly by a reduction in energy bills resulting from a statutory energy price freeze. It was, however, the last time the reading was this low. Consumer prices accelerated significantly in the following months (to 1.7% year on year in March) and our current forecasts suggest that it will not take longer than until the summer for inflation to go up to around 2.5%. The increase in CPI is attributable to a multitude of factors, which suggests that the upward trend will not end soon.

Firstly, after a period of falls, food prices are again rising dynamically driven mainly by processed food (such as flour and bread). The outbreak of African swine fever in China will result in a significant increase in meat prices in the months to come, causing an additional inflationary impulse to food prices. Secondly, rising oil prices will push up retail prices. The effect is expected to be the strongest in the spring. Last but not least, we have been witnessing a significant rise in core inflation driven by a variety of categories, many of which are not very volatile. In our opinion, the increase in core inflation to the highest level in the last six years (1.4% year on year) proves that the economic situation has an impact on inflationary processes.

In the present environment, the Monetary Policy Council abides by its policy of stable interest rates and does not see the current data as a reason for changing the rhetoric, let alone any interest rate movements. The Council takes a symmetric approach to the inflationary target and is unlikely to revise its current wait and see strategy, unless the target is exceeded permanently. As a consequence, we do not expect any interest rate changes in Poland in the coming years.

Financial markets - stability on asset markets

The first quarter on the Polish financial markets was marked by stability. The exchange rate, Treasury bond yields and shares listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) fluctuated within relatively narrow bands and did not change much during the first three months of the year. The exchange rate, oscillating around PLN 4.29 per euro and PLN 3.80 per dollar, was moving in no particular direction, impacted by opposing trends (growing perception of fiscal risk offset by high GDP growth, no inflows and outflows from emerging market assets, etc.). In general, markets all over the world were somewhat suspended between mild monetary policy (including surprises from the major central banks) clashing with the yet unfinished cycle of downward revisions to GDP growth forecasts and negative surprises from the major economies. Hopes for a rebound were fulfilled only in late March in China, which will be vital from the markets' perspective in the coming months.

Solid growth in lending

In many ways the first quarter of 2019 was just a preview of how loans and deposits are likely to develop throughout the year.

Firstly, growth in household deposits continued on the upward trend seen since the spring of 2018 to reach 10.6% year on year in the first two months of the year. The accumulation of household deposits was driven by a number of various factors such as a slight slowdown in private consumption and the concomitant rise in savings, and a shift of household assets from investment funds and the stock market towards bank deposits. In our opinion, the perspective of a marked upturn in the disposable income of Polish households resulting from the aforementioned fiscal stimulus will provide a boost to a double-digit growth in household deposits.

Secondly, growth in corporate deposits was relatively slow at the beginning of 2019 and stood at 3.0% year on year in January and February, down from an average of 4.8% year on year in 2018. Usually, the reason behind slower growth in deposits is linked to the pressure on liquidity and profitability of the corporate sector placed by rising labour costs and efforts to tighten the tax system. In practice, this change is of structural nature, which means that in the foreseeable future, corporate deposits will maintain a pace lower than the two-digit growth rates prevailing in 2014-2016.

Thirdly, loans in general will grow at a slower rate than deposits due to a relatively stable growth in corporate loans, sustainably high levels of consumer lending and strong sales of housing loans.

Income of mBank Group

Total income generated by mBank Group remained stable compared with the previous quarter and amounted to PLN 1,261.4 million. Core income, i.e. net interest income and net fee and commission income, grew quarter on quarter (by 1.4%) to PLN 1,159.1 million.

Net interest income remained mBank Group's largest income source in Q1 2019: a slight quarter-onquarter increase was reported (+PLN 6.9 million, i.e. 0.7%) despite the quarter being shorter (by 2 days) than Q4 2018. Interest income grew by PLN 7.7 million, i.e. 0.6% compared with Q4 2018 and reached PLN 1,200.8 million, spurred largely by higher income from loans and advances (PLN 913.7 million, i.e. +PLN 13.4 million quarter on quarter). The rise was driven mainly by a pick-up in the volume of loans to customers.

At the same time, interest expenses remained stable compared with the previous quarter (increased by PLN 0.8 million, i.e. +0.3%), amounting to PLN 270.6 million. In Q1 2019, the cost of customer deposits rose by PLN 7.5 million, i.e. by 4.9%, due to their strong inflow. Expenses on subordinated debt fell by PLN 4.3 million after an increase reported in Q4 2018 caused by a higher average value of such liabilities (in October 2018 subordinated debt worth PLN 750 million was issued, whereas PLN 500 million in liabilities subject to amortisation was repaid in December 2018). In addition, the implementation of IFRS 16 entailed a new item in interest expenses connected with lease agreements, which stood at PLN 0.8 million.

mBank Group's net interest margin remained flat quarter on quarter and stood at 2.60% in Q1 2019, just like in Q4 2018.

Net fee and commission income, the second largest income contributor, increased slightly compared with the previous quarter (+PLN 9.6 million, i.e. +4.4%) to PLN 228.8 million.

Fee and commission income increased by PLN 0.9 million, i.e. 0.2% quarter on quarter. Credit-related fees and commissions remained at the stable level compared to the previous quarter (slight increase of PLN 0.2 million, i.e. 0.2%). Income from payment cards declined by PLN 7.3 million, i.e. 7.3%, as a result of slightly lower number and value of transactions as well as settlements with payment cards operators in Q4 2018. At the same time, income from commissions on bank accounts increased by PLN 1.6 million, i.e. 3.0%, which was caused by growing number of accounts and collecting a higher charge for accounts from corporate clients.

Fee and commission expenses amounted to PLN 171.8 million in Q1 2019, which represented a decrease compared with the previous quarter attributable mainly to lower costs related to other fees.

Net trading income at PLN 102.9 million was nearly as strong as in Q4 2018 (a drop by PLN 3.0 million). Foreign exchange result shrank by PLN 13.5 million due to reduced market volatility, while other net trading income grew by PLN 10.5 million, driven mainly by thanks to a positive mark-to-market valuation of interest rate derivatives.

Other income (calculated as the sum of gains or losses from non-trading financial assets (including equity instruments and debt securities) mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss (except for loans and advances) and gains less losses from financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss and investments in subsidiaries and associates) rose by PLN 14.4 million quarter on quarter owing to the sale of bonds from the portfolio measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Other operating income net of other operating expenses stood at -PLN 28.6 million and was affected mainly by the a cost of provision for tax liability in the amount of PLN 27.1 million, created as a result of the Bank's decision to select an alternative method of taxing with income tax the interest paid by the Bank in relation to bonds issued before 1 January 2019 on foreign public markets under the EMTN programme.

Summary of results of mBank Group's subsidiaries

In Q1 2019, the profit before tax generated by mBank Group subsidiaries amounted to PLN 52.1 million, which represents a 38.9% decrease against the previous quarter. The main factors weighing down on their financial performance include organisational changes and, in the case of mBank Hipoteczny, the contribution to the resolution fund posted in whole in the first quarter (similarly to mBank).

The table below presents the profit before tax posted by individual subsidiaries in Q1 2019 compared with Q4 2018.

An open platform for financial services sale on the intermediaries market

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

In Q1 2019, mFinanse recorded an increase in mortgage loan sales by 12.1% quarter on quarter (PLN 736.8 million in Q1 2019 against PLN 657.2 million in Q4 2018). In the period under review, mFinanse also reported a rise in cash loan sales by 12.5% to PLN 231.4 million compared with PLN 205.7 million in Q4 2018.

The profit from selling unsecured loans to companies rose quarter on quarter by 53.7% (PLN 150.2 million in Q1 2019 against PLN 97.7 million in Q4 2018). In Q1 2019, the subsidiary's sales results in the area of car leasing increased by 10.4% (to PLN 34.1 million compared with PLN 30.9 million in the previous quarter).

mFinanse's profit before tax in Q1 2019 amounted to PLN 14.7 million compared with PLN 41.0 million in Q4 2018, which represents a drop by PLN 26.2 million quarter on quarter. It is noteworthy, however, that the profit before tax of the company posted in Q4 2018 was greatly affected by a one-off transaction, i.e. the PLN 26 million sale of an organised part of enterprise of mFinanse providing insurance intermediation in the scope of group insurance of leased assets (the transaction did not impact the consolidated profit before tax of the mBank Group). The improved profit before tax from core operations reported in Q1 2019 was driven by a major rise in the sales of mortgage loans and cash loans dedicated to individuals.

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

Providing stable, long-term and secure funding for the Group using a pooling model in cooperation with mBank

Since 2000, mBank Hipoteczny (mBH) has been regularly issuing Polish covered bonds in line with the Polish issuance programme. In Q4 2018, mBank Hipoteczny issued covered bonds with a nominal value of PLN 10 million, which were then assimilated with the issue dated June 22, 2018 traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW). As a result, mBank Hipoteczny originated securities with a nominal value of PLN 310 million. It was the first assimilation of mortgage covered bonds on the Polish stock exchange.

In Q1 2019, mBank Hipoteczny issued covered bonds with a nominal value of PLN 100 million with an almost 10-year maturity, which is currently the longest series of mortgage covered bonds in PLN traded in the capital market in Poland. As at the end of Q1 2019, the total value of outstanding mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny amounted to PLN 7,271.6 million (at the PLN/EUR exchange rate of 4.3013 of the National Bank of Poland prevailing on March 29, 2019).

At the same time, mBank Hipoteczny has also continued to issue unsecured bonds. At the end of Q1 2019, mBH issued five series of unsecured bonds worth a total of PLN 715 million. The product range of mBank Hipoteczny includes zero-coupon and coupon bonds denominated in PLN with maturities from two months to one year.

In January 2019, mBank Hipoteczny implemented a new business model. In the coming years mBH plans to expand its portfolio of retail mortgage loans and CRE loans using the pooling model in close cooperation with mBank, which assumes that sales will be performed by mBank's salesforce in both retail and commercial area.

mBank Hipoteczny's gross loan portfolio totalled PLN 12.0 billion in Q1 2019 compared with PLN 11.2 billion at the end of Q4 2018, which represents a 6.6% rise quarter on quarter. The increase was driven by the largest retail loans pooling transaction ever made by mBH. The transaction was completed in February 2019 and the total amount of transferred principal reached PLN 710 million.

As far as the commercial portfolio is concerned, mBH signed three contracts worth jointly PLN 174 million in Q1 2019. Applications concerning the aforementioned contracts were filed with mBH back in 2018.

In Q1 2019, the subsidiary's profit before tax stood at PLN 10.1 million, which represents a drop by 41.8% compared with Q4 2018. The decrease was driven mainly by rising costs of mBH's operations pushed up by higher annual contribution to the BFG resolution fund, which was posted in whole in the first quarter of the year.

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

4 th position on the leasing market in Poland as at 31.12.2018

The value of contracts executed in Q1 2019 amounted to PLN 1,150.4 million compared with PLN 1,830.1 million in Q4 2018, which represents a decrease by 37.1% quarter on quarter. The decrease was caused by higher demand for leased company cars observed in Q4 2018 due to new tax rules coming into force on January 1, 2019.

The value of contracts regarding movables concluded in Q1 2019 amounted to PLN 1,101.4 million, while the value of contracts concerning real estate stood at PLN 49.0 million. By comparison, in Q4 2018, these figures stood at PLN 1,802.4 million for movable assets and PLN 27.7 million for real estate.

In Q1 2019, mLeasing earned a profit before tax of PLN 22.4 million, which is 9.3% less compared with the previous quarter (PLN 24.7 million). The drop stems primarily from higher credit risk costs (PLN 10.9 million in Q1 2019 against PLN 5.7 million in Q4 2018).

On March 8, 2019, mLeasing completed the purchase of a 100% stake in LeaseLink, a fintech specialising in financing corporate purchases made in online and traditional stores, thus strengthening its position as a funding provider for small and medium-sized enterprises.

As at the end of 2018 (the latest data available on the date of this report), mLeasing was the fourth largest leasing provider in Poland and ranked third on the real estate lease market (as measured by the value of assets, year to date).

mFaktoring offers financing of ongoing business operations, receivables management, transfer of insolvency risk, management of debtors' settlement accounts and enforcement of receivables, provides domestic and export factoring with recourse and credit protection as well as import credit guarantees

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

In Q1 2019, mFaktoring continued to grow dynamically and break new year-on-year business records. Compared with Q4 2018, turnover, i.e. the value of purchased invoices, fell by 10.8%. Despite this drop their value reached a high level of PLN 5 billion which allowed the company to be ranked fifth on the factoring market in Poland with a 7.9% market share (according to the Polish Factors Association).

In Q1 2019, mFaktoring acquired 41 new clients, thus expanding its client portfolio to over 600. All corporate branches actively participated in the development of the factoring portfolio, adding PLN 320 million of new factoring limits. Broken down by segments, the structure of clients was as follows: K1 – PLN 200 million (2 clients), K2 – PLN 92 million (12 clients), K3 – PLN 28 million (27 clients).

Dynamic business development gave a boost to mFaktoring's financial performance. In Q1 2019, the subsidiary posted a profit before tax of PLN 7.0 million compared with PLN 7.9 million in Q4 2018.

2. Description of relevant accounting policies

Accounting basis

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared for the 3 month period ended 31 March 2019. Comparative data presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the period of 12 months ended on 31 December 2018 and to the period of 3 months ended on 31 March 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, according to the historical cost method, except for derivative contracts and financial assets held for trading, financial assets that do not meet SPPI criteria, financial assets assigned to business models whose objective is not to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, equity instruments and liabilities related to cash-settled share-based payment transactions measured at fair value as well as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and equity instruments for which irrevocable election has been made to present changes in fair value in other coprehensive income.

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 consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Group 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 February 27, 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.

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 January 13, 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 December 31, 2018: IAS 17 Leasing, IFRIC Interpretation 4 and SIC Interpretations 15 and 27.

The new standard introduced a single lessee accounting model, convergent with IAS 17. 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.

In the consolidated financial statements lease agreements have been shown, in which the Group acts as a lessor for third parties. The previous accounting treatment by the lessor has been largely unchanged by IFRS 16. This means that the lessor continues to classify leases as operating leases or finance leases and their accounting treatment as two separate types of leasing. Nevertheless, additional disclosures are required from 2019.

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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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)

  • 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 rigt-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

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 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 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 quarter 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 449 836 thousand as at 31 March 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 31 March 2018.

Due to the change in the classification of this portfolio, interest income on these loans for the first quarter of 2018 in the amount of PLN 9 486 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 – Nontrading financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss – Loans and advances".

Impairment of these loans in the amount of PLN 3,009 thousand, included in the income statement for the first quarter 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 as at the implementation date of IFRS 9, 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 first quarter of 2018, the Bank classified such loan portfolios to:

  • financial assets valued at amortized cost PLN 2 428 249 thousand
  • financial assets held for trading at fair value through profit or loss PLN 185 297 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 31 March 2018. The revaluation effect was recognized in other comprehensive income in the fourth quarter of 2018.

c) reclassification of VISA's preference shares

The preferred shares in VISA with a fair value of PLN 47 879 thousand as at 31 March 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 resulted in the transfer of the valuation of these instruments in the net amount of PLN 13 604 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 1,943 thousand and "Income tax" in the amount minus PLN 360 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 first 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 31 March 2018 in the amount of PLN 7 880 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 2 323 thousand fees and commissions expenses for the period from 1 January to 31 March 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.

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.

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 54.5 million or increase by PLN 61.1 million as at 31 March 2019, 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 write-downs 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 February 27, 2019.

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 February 27, 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.

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, multifunctional 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., 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 cash flow hedge accounting of variable rate loans indexed to market rates, 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 Bank 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 February 27, 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:

  • three tranches of fixed interest rate Eurobonds issued by mFF with a total nominal value of EUR 1 500 000 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 546 900 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 and CHF 175 560 thousand,
  • fixed rate bonds issued by mBank S.A. with a nominal value of CHF 180 000 thousand,
  • fixed rate bonds issued by mBank S.A. with a nominal value of EUR 500 000 thousand.

Hedging instruments

IRS is the hedging instrument swapping the fixed interest rate for a variable interest rate.

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)".

28. 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 the 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 February 27, 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 assets and 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 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 for the Group 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.

The following tables presents the hierarchy of fair values of financial assets and liabilities recognised in the condensed statement of financial position of the Group at their fair values.

During the first quarter of 2018 there were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of fair value hierarchy.

Level 1

As at 31 March 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 3 208 915 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 22 224 489 thousand (see Note 18) (31 December 2018 respectively: PLN 748 294 thousand and PLN 21 251 235 thousand, 31 March 2018 respectively: PLN 2 900 638 thousand and PLN 18 598 368 thousand). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 219 154 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 1 230 590 thousand, 31 March 2018: PLN 578 078 thousand).

In addition, as at 31 March 2019 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 819 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 770 thousand, 31 March 2018: PLN 867 thousand).

Moreover, as at 31 March 2018 level 1 includes the value of shares quoted on stock exchange in the amount of PLN 1 245 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 537 743 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 589 901 thousand, 31 March 2018: PLN 2 563 317 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 31 March 2019, 31 December 2018 and 31 March 2018, level 2 also includes the value of options referencing on the WIG20 index. For options on WIG 20 index an internal 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 1 564 479 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 1 595 063 thousand; 31 March 2018: PLN 1 409 412 thousand). Level 3 includes also the fair value of local government bonds in the amount of PLN 36 915 thousand (31 December 2018 - PLN 36 388 thousand; 31 March 2018 – PLN 36 632 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 31 March 2019 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 2 560 184 thousand (31 December 2018 – PLN 2 748 321 thousand; 31 March 2018 – PLN 3 389 100 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 70 713 thousand (31 December 2018: PLN 72 005 thousand; 31 March 2018: PLN 39 987 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.

  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. 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.

  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. October 19, 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.

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 November 23, 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.

Recommendations of Financial Stability Committee (FSC) on the restructuring of the foreign exchange housing loans portfolio

On 13 January 2017, FSC endorsed the resolution on the recommendation on the restructuring of the foreign exchange housing loans portfolio. The resolution includes a list of recommendations, part of which were introduced in the year 2017. Two of the recommendations that may have significant impact on the Group but have not yet been introduced, are:

  • to increase the minimum LGD for exposures secured by mortgages on residential properties, the purchase of which was financed by an FX loan by means of a dedicated resolution of the Ministry of Finance (this regulatory measure is addressed to banks that apply internal ratings based approach to the calculation of the capital charge for credit risk, among others to mBank S.A.);
  • introduction of changes in the rules of operation of the Borrower Support Fund, which would lead to a greater use of the funds to support borrowers in difficult financial situation recommendation not introduced. In October 2017 the Parliament of the Republic of Poland has begun work on the draft of the amendment to the act on support of borrowers in financial difficulties, who had taken out a housing loan as well as a law on corporate income tax, proposed by the President of the Republic of Poland, which address the FSC recommendation.

Due to ongoing work on the implementation of these recommendations Bank is not able to assess at this moment the potential impact of the aforementioned changes on the capital ratios and financial statements of the Bank and the Group.

Requirements on mBank Group capital ratios as of March 31, 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, the required level of capital ratios as at 31 March 2019 amounted to:

  • Individual total capital ratio 18.01% and Tier 1 capital ratio 14.97%
  • Consolidated total capital ratio –17.50% and Tier 1 capital ratio 14.59%.

At the date of publication of these financial statements, mBank S.A. fulfils the KNF requirements related to the required capital ratios for 2019 on both individual and consolidated levels.

Proposals concerning foreign currency mortgage loans restructuring

On January 24, 2019 at its meeting the Parliamentary subcommittee on FX mortgage loans legislative proposals finally made a choice, from among the four legislative proposals presented so far, and decided to further proceed with the draft amendment of (i) the act on support of borrowers in financial difficulties and (ii) the act on corporate income tax. On February 21, 2019, the Parliamentary Finance Committee adopted the draft amendment. The abovementioned bill was submitted to the Parliament by the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland in August, 2017. At the moment of these financial statements publication the final form of the proposed solution is not known yet. Therefore, at the moment, the Bank is not able to estimate reliably either the implementation probability of the discussed solutions or the potential impact of the final solutions on the financial statements of the Bank and the mBank Group.

33. Events after the balance sheet date
