2. Description of relevant accounting policies

Accounting basis

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2021. Comparative data include the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020 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 2020 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 2020.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group have been prepared on a historical cost basis in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union, except for derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and liabilities held for trading, financial assets failing SPPI test and financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, debt and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties 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 2020 before the restatement, described further in the section "Comparative data", 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 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 in the period of 12 months from the reporting date.

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 2020, published on 25 February 2021. These principles were applied consistently over all presented periods, except for the new accounting policy regarding the investment properties and change in accounting policies described below.

Investment properties are defined as land and buildings held for the purpose of earning rental income or because they are expected to increase in value. On initial recognition investment properties are measured at cost including directly attributable transaction costs. In subsequent measurements, investment properties are measured at fair value. Current income and expenses are recognised in other operating income or expenses. Remeasurement changes arising from changes in fair value are also shown under other operating income or expenses in the income statement for the period. As at the date of reclassification of the property occupied by the Group to investment property, the difference between the carrying amount of the property determined in accordance with IAS 16 or IFRS 16 and its fair value is recognized by the Group (i) in the profit or loss account in the event of a decrease in the carrying amount or reversal of a previously recognised impairment loss on this property, or (ii) in other comprehensive income, in the event of an increase in the current value above the amount of the reversed impairment loss. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings. The transfer from other comprehensive income to retained earnings is not made through the income statement.

Starting from 2021, the Group changed the accounting policy for recognizing the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF. Until the end of 2020 the Group recognized provisions for legal proceedings in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" in relation to both active and repaid loans. In view of changes in conditions, such as the growing number of court cases and the predominantly unfavorable court judgments stating the invalidity of the contract in whole or certain provisions thereof the Group expects that it will not obtain the full amount of contractual cash flow related to those loans. Therefore in relation to active loans the Group revised its estimates of cash flows and ajusted the gross carrying amount of those loans in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" paragraph B5.4.6. as the change in expected cash flows is not related to credit risk and therefore is not recognised as expected credit losses. The recognition of the impact of legal risk related to repaid loans remained unchanged.

The Group changed its accounting policies as allowed by IAS 8 in order to provide users of financial statements with more relevant information regarding the impact of the CHF mortgage and housing loan portfolio and related legal risk on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group. In the Group's opinion such approach provides better reflection of value of CHF-indexed loans in the statement of financial position. The changed approach will also allow for better comparability of financial statements across financial sector as such the accounting treatment constitutes the prevailing market practice in this respect.

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 2021.

Standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union

Published Standards and Interpretations which have been issued and binding for the first time in the reporting period covered by the financial statements.

◼ Amendments to IFRS 4 Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 25 June 2020, approved by the European Union on 15 December 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 4 extend the temporary exemption from application of the IFRS 9 so that insurers will be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The extension maintains the alignment between the expiry date of the temporary exemption and the effective date of IFRS 17, which replaces IFRS 4.

The application of the changes to the standard had no significant impact on the Group's financial statements in the period of their initial application.

◼ Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 27 August 2020, approved by the European Union on 13 January 2021, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2021.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 relate to the modification of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities, specific hedge accounting requirements, and disclosure requirements applying IFRS 7 to accompany the amendments regarding modifications and hedge accounting.

Regarding modification of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities a practical expedient for modifications required by the reform (modifications required as a direct consequence of the IBOR reform and made on an economically equivalent basis) has been introduced. These modifications are accounted for by updating the effective interest rate. All other modifications are accounted for using the current IFRS requirements. A similar practical expedient is proposed for lessee accounting applying IFRS 16.

Regarding hedge accounting amendments, hedge accounting is not discontinued solely because of the IBOR reform. Hedging relationships (and related documentation) must be amended to reflect modifications to the hedged item, hedging instrument and hedged risk. Amended hedging relationships should meet all qualifying criteria to apply hedge accounting, including effectiveness requirements.

Specific disclosures are also required in order to allow users to understand the nature and extent of risks arising from the IBOR reform to which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages those risks as well as the entity's progress in transitioning from IBORs to alternative benchmark rates, and how the entity is managing this transition.

IFRS 4 was also amended to require insurers that apply the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 to apply the amendments in accounting for modifications directly required by IBOR reform.

Group analysed the impact of applying the amendments to the standards on the financial statements in the period of their initial application. The detailed information regarding this analysis was presended for the first time in the consolidated financial statements for 2020.

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

◼ Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 14 May 2020, approved by the European Union on 28 June 2021 and binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2022.

Annual Improvements include changes to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases and IAS 41 Agriculture.

The amendment to IFRS 1 permits a subsidiary that applies paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by its parent, based on the parent's date of transition to IFRSs.

The amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies which fees the entity includes when it applies the '10 per cent test' in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. An entity includes only the fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or lender on the other's behalf.

The amendment to IFRS 16 removes the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives.

The amendment to IAS 41 removes the requirement to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value of a biological asset using a parent value technique. This will ensure consistency with the requirements in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

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

◼ Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 14 May 2020, approved by the European Union on 28 June 2021 and binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2022.

Amendments to IAS 16 prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

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

◼ Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling the Contract, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 14 May 2020, approved by the European Union on 28 June 2021 and binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2022.

Amendments to IAS 37 specifies which costs to include in estimating the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous.

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

◼ Amendments to IFRS 3 Reference to the Conceptual Framework, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 14 May 2020, approved by the European Union on 28 June 2021 and binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2022.

Amendments to IFRS 3 replaced references to the Framework with references to the 2018 Conceptual Framework. They also added a requirement that, for transactions and other events within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, an acquirer applies IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 (instead of conceptual framework) to identify the liabilities it has assumed in business combination. Moreover, the standard added an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognize contingent asset acquired in a business combination.

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

Standards and interpretations not yet endorsed by the European Union

These financial statements do not include standards and interpretations listed below which await endorsement of the European Union.

◼ Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 7 May 2021, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2023.

The amendments to the standards require that the entities recognise in the financial statements deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting form transactions, other than business combinations, in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition.

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

◼ Amendments to IFRS 16, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 31 March 2021, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 April 2021.

In amendment to IFRS 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (the 2021 amendment) the Board extended the availability of the practical expedient that permits lessees not to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet specified conditions are lease modifications by one year. The 2021 amendment resulted in the practical expedient applying to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met.

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

◼ 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 2023.

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 standard will have no significant impact on the financial statements in the period of their initial application.

◼ Amendments to IFRS 17, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 25 June 2020, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 June 2023.

Amendments to IFRS 17 include a two-year deferral of the effective date and the fixed expiry date of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 granted to insurers meeting certain criteria. Preparers of financial statements are no longer required to apply IFRS 17 to certain credit cards and similar arrangements, and loans that provide insurance coverage. The profit recognition pattern for insurance contracts under IFRS 17 has been amended to reflect insurance coverage and any investment services provided. Insurance contracts are now required to be presented on the balance sheet at the portfolio level. The amendment addresses also accounting mismatches that arise when an entity reinsures onerous contracts and recognizes losses on the underlying contracts on initial recognition.

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

◼ Amendments to IAS 1, Classification of liabilities as current or non-current, published by IASB on 23 January 2020. On 15 July 2020 the IASB published an amendment that provides entities with operating relief by postponing the effective date of the amendments to the Standard by one year for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IAS 1 affect the requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the financial statements. In particular, they explain one of the criteria for classifying liabilities as non-current.

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.

◼ Amendment to IAS 8, Definition of Accounting Estimates, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 12 February 2021, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2023.

In amendment to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates, the definition of a change in accounting estimates was replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The IASB also clarified a new definition through additional guidance and examples, how accounting policies and accounting estimates relate to each other and how a change in valuation technique is a change in accounting estimates. The introduction of a definition of accounting estimates and other amendments to IAS 8 was aimed to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

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

◼ Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies, published by International Accounting Standards Board on 12 February 2021, binding for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments introduce the requirement to disclose material accounting policy information instead of significant accounting policies. Some clarifications and examples were added how an entity can identify material accounting policy information. The amendments clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial and if users of financial statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements.

The Group is of the opinion that the application of the changes to standards 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.
  • ◼ IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (issued on 30 January 2014) The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard– not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these financial statements – effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

Starting from 2021, the Group changed the accounting policy for recognizing the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF. Until the end of 2020 the Group recognized provisions for legal proceedings in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" in relation to both active and repaid loans. In view of changes in conditions, such as the growing number of court cases and the predominantly unfavorable court judgments stating the invalidity of the contract in whole or certain provisions thereof the Group expects that it will not obtain the full amount of contractual cash flow. Therefore in relation to active loans the Group revised its estimates of cash flows and ajusted the gross carrying amount of those loans in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" paragraph B5.4.6. as the change in expected cash flows is not related to credit risk and therefore is not recognised as expected credit losses. The comparative data as at 1 January 2020, 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 and for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2020 have been restated accordingly. The recognition of the impact of legal risk related to repaid loans remained unchanged.

◼ Cash equivalents

Since the end of 2020, the Group adjusted the classification of financial assets into cash equivalents. Previously, under cash equivalents, the Bank incorrectly disclosed debt securities issued by the State Treasury held for trading with maturity over 3 months at acquisition date. Since the end of 2020, the Group has also changed the accounting principles governing the classification of financial assets into cash equivalents and any debt securities issued by the State Treasury held for trading are not presented as cash equivalents. The change was caused by adjusting the presentation of cash equivalents to the prevailing market practice. The comparative data for the period from 1 January to 31 June 2020 has been restated accordingly.

The above change did not affect the equity and the income statements of the Group and the Bank in the comparative periods presented in these financial statements. The data on capital ratios for comparative periods remained unchanged. The impact of the introduced adjustments on the comparative data is presented in the following tables.

3. Major estimates and judgements 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.

Legal risk related to individual court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF

The Group closely observes the developments in courts verdicts in legal proceedings regarding mortgage and housing loans in CHF, including impact of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and Supreme Court judgments as well as analyses the PFSA's Chairman proposal, what was described in details in the Note 26.

The impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF is reflected as decrease of gross carrying amount of loans recognised under IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" paragraph B5.4.6 in relation to active loans and as provisions under IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" in relation to repaid loans (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the impact of the legal risk"). Starting from 2021, the Group changed the accounting policy for recognizing the impact of the legal risk related to individual court cases concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF. Until the end of 2020 the Group recognized provisions for legal proceedings in accordance with IAS 37 in relation to both active and repaid loans. In view of changes in conditions, such as the growing number of court cases and the predominantly unfavorable court judgments stating the invalidity of the contract in whole or certain provisions thereof the Group expects that it will not obtain the full amount of contractual cash flow. Therefore in relation to active loans the Group has decided that the more appropriate way to recognize this legal risk is to revise its estimates of cash flows and adjusted the gross carrying amount of those loans in accordance with IFRS 9 paragraph B5.4.6. as the change in expected cash flows is not related to credit risk and therefore is not recognised as expected credit losses. The recognition of impact of legal risk related to repaid loans remained unchanged.

As of 30 June 2021 the cummulative impact of the legal risk amounted to PLN 1 688 957 thousand (as of 31 December 2020: PLN 1 426 563 thousand), of which PLN 1 468 469 thousand decreased the gross carrying amount of loans by adjusting the expected cash flows from these assets and PLN 220 488 thousand was included in the item "Provisions for legal proceedings" (31 December 2020: PLN 1 264 677 thousand and PLN 161 886 thousand, respectively). Total costs of legal risk related to foreign currency loans recognised in the income statement for the first half of 2021 amounted to PLN 314 805 thousand (first half of 2020: PLN 201 883 thousand).

The methodology of calculation of the impact of the legal risk applied by the Bank depends on numerous assumptions that take into account historical data adjusted with the Bank's expectations regarding the future and associated with significant degree of expert judgement. The most important assumptions are: an expected population of borrowers who will file a lawsuit against the Bank, the probability of losing the case having final and binding judgement, the distribution of expected verdicts judged by the courts and the loss to be incurred by the Bank in case of a losing the case in court.

The increase of the impact of the legal risk in the first half of 2021 resulted mainly from (i) higher than expected inflow of cases in the first half of 2021 (ii) changes in level of loss on loan exposure in case of losing the case by the Bank. The Bank believes that since the current line of jurisprudence in CHF cases is inconsistent, the probability of losing court cases must, to a large extent, be based on professional judgement supported by external legal opinion until Polish Supreme Court and the CJEU address all the legal uncertainties (in particular, whether abusive provisions can be replaced with other provisions, whether the theory of balance or the theory of two conditionalities will apply, what is a limitation period for parties' claims and whether banks may receive a compensation for usage of the principal granted).

The population of borrowers who will file a lawsuit against the Bank has been projected over the remaining life of the portfolio based on the Bank's history of legal cases in the past and assumes a further inflow of new cases. The Bank assumes that inflow of plaintiffs will be significant in the next 5 years. The Bank assumes that vast majority of the projected cases will be filed until the end of 2022, and then their number will decrease following the expected clarification of the legal environment.

For the purpose of calculating the impact of legal risk mBank assumes that approximately 22% of FX borrowers (i.e. 18.6 thousand borrowers with both, active and repaid loans) filed or will file a lawsuit against the Bank. The Bank observes that clients with higher loan amounts were the first ones to file the claims (22% of customers represent 29% of the total CHF loan portfolio, both active and repaid), and therefore that average ticket of the suing population will be decreasing over time. The assumption, due to significant legal uncertainties surrounding CHF cases as well as other external factors that may shape clients preferences to file the lawsuits, is highly judgmental and may be a subject to an adjustment in future. Compared to the assumptions for the end of 2020, in the second quarter of 2021 the Bank increased the assumed number of court cases by 18.9%. This was due to an increase in the forecast of lawsuits that the Bank estimates will be filed with the Bank in the future, and greater than expected number of lawsuits that were filed with the Bank. If an additional 1% of the borrowers (both holding active loans in CHF as well as borrowers who already repaid their loans in CHF) filed a lawsuit against the Bank, the impact of the legal risk would increase by approximately PLN 57.8 million (while other relevant assumptions remain constant) as compared to 30 June 2021, of which PLN 39.6 million would reduce gross carrying amount of the loans, and PLN 18.2 million would increase the "Provisions for legal proceedings".

The probability of losing in court has been calculated taking into account, among others, data from the Bank's history of final and binding positive and negative verdicts. As of 30 June 2021 mBank received 229 final rulings in individual lawsuits (31 December 2020: 173 final rulings), out of which 79 rulings were favourable to the Bank and 150 rulings were unfavourable (31 December 2020: 70 rulings favourable and 103 unfavourable).

At the same time 367 proceedings (as of 30 June 2021) at the second instance courts have remained suspended due to the legal issues referred to the Supreme Court and the CJEU. The Bank submits cassation appeals to the Supreme Court against legally binding judgments unfavorable for the Bank. Unfavorable judgments were issued based on the same patterns of facts which resulted in different verdicts. Approximately 54% of unfavourable verdicts led to the invalidation of the loan agreement, others led to the conversion of the agreement into PLN + LIBOR / WIBOR.

Since, in the opinion of the Bank, the number of final verdicts is not statistically representative (too few binding verdicts have been issued by courts in cases related to mBank) the assumption of probability of losing in court takes also into account expert judgements of the Bank supported by legal opinion about the future trends in the court verdicts as well as upcoming verdicts of the Supreme Court and CJEU. As of 30 June 2021 the Bank assumes probability of losing in court at the level of 50%, basing on its own judgement supported by the external legal opinion. If the assumed probability of losing in court changed by +/- 1 percentage point and all other relevant assumptions remained constant, the impact of the legal risk would change by +/- PLN 32.6 million, of which PLN 29.3 million would change gross carrying amount of the loans, and PLN 3.3 million would change the "Provisions for legal proceedings".

The projected loss rate was calculated using the probabilities of different verdicts that may be issued. As currently there is still no homogenous line of verdicts taken by the courts the Bank took into account three possible losing scenarios: (i) the contract remains valid but the indexation mechanism is eliminated, which transforms a loan indexed to CHF into a PLN loan subject to the interest rate of the loan indexed to CHF, (ii) the contract is invalid in whole because deleting the exchange rate clause would be too far-reaching change (based on assumption that this clause defines the main subject matter of the contract), and (iii) the contract remains a mortgage indexed to CHF, but the FX clause is substituted by the fixing rate of the NBP. Under scenario (ii), the Bank takes into account two versions of the invalidity, assuming that the parties settle accounts in a formula similar to the settlement on a net basis. The first version assumes that the consumer is obliged to return the disbursed capital together with the remuneration for using it, and the second assumes that the consumer is only obliged to return the capital without remuneration. Each of these scenarios is associated with a different level of predicted losses for the Bank. The Bank calculated the average level of loss weighted with the probabilities of occurrence of the given scenario in case of negative final and binding judgement, with invalidity scenario assumed to be most probable. The probabilities of those scenarios applied by the Bank has been based on the assessment of the Bank consulted with the legal advisor.

If the assumed weighted average loss changed by +/- 1 percentage point and all other relevant assumptions remained constant the impact of the legal risk would change by +/- PLN 27.5 million, of which PLN 24.7 million would change gross carrying amount of the loans, and PLN 2.8 million would change the "Provisions for legal proceedings".

The method used to calculate the impact of the legal risk is based on parameters that are highly judgmental and with a high range of possible values. It is possible that the impact of the legal risk will have to be adjusted significantly in the future, particularly that important parameters used in calculations are interdependent.

As at the date of approval these consolidated financial statements the Bank has not made any decisions on offering settlements according to the PFSA's Chairman proposal nor has taken any steps to acquire any corporate consents in that matter. It will be a subject of further analysis and discussions with financial authorities. The PFSA's proposal has not been taken into consideration when calculating the impact of the legal risk.

More information on individual court proceedings concerning indexation clauses in mortgage and housing loans in CHF is presented in the Note 26.

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 (discounted recoveries from payments of capital, discounted recoveries from interests, discounted recoveries from off-balance sheet liabilities and discounted recoveries from collaterals for on-balance and off-balance sheet loans and advances, weighed by the probability of realization of specific scenarios) for portfolio of loans and advances which are impaired, change by +/- 10%, the estimated loans and advances impairment would either decrease by PLN 63.2 million or increase by PLN 72.2 million as at 30 June 2021, respectively (as at 31 December 2020: PLN 57.6 million and PLN 64.2 million, respectively). This estimation was performed for portfolio of loans and advances and for off-balance sheet liabilities individually assessed for impairment on the basis of future cash flows due to repayments and recovery from collateral – Stage 3. The rules of determining write-downs and provisions for impairment of credit exposures have been described under Note 3.3.6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

The Group is planning to introduce dedicated model for specialized lending portfolio for mBank and mLeasing in the third quarter of 2021. The estimated impact of the model implementation on the expected credit loss is increase of PLN 101 million. Main part of the impact is a result of change in staging structure of this portfolio (increase of Stage 2 share), due to pandemic situation. The Group decided to include this effect in the income statement in the first half of 2021.

Impact of the New Definition of Default on Group`s operation

Starting from 1 January 2021, Group has implemented the definition of default in line with the EBA guidelines from 18 January 2017 (EBA/GL/2016/07).

The Group maintained its current application of the definition of default at the client level, also for retail banking exposures.

The process of adapting to the new regulations covered the following key areas:

  • ◼ change in the method of calculating days past due;
  • ◼ implementation of the materiality threshold (relative and absolute) in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance, Investment and Development of 3 October 3 2019;
  • ◼ guidelines on forced restructuring. The materiality threshold from which the Group considers a reduced financial liability to be defaulted is 1%. Group adopted adequate mechanisms in order to ensure that all exposures classified as forborne non-performing are classified as default and subject to distressed restructuring; any concession extended to an obligor already in default, lead to classify the obligor as a distressed restructuring;
  • ◼ introducing a quarantine (trial period), the time during which the Group assesses the behavior and financial situation of the debtor;
  • ◼ consistent application of the definition of default the EBA guidelines oblige institutions to implement appropriate processes ensuring that the default of one obligor is consistently identified across the entire capital group; in order to meet the above requirement within the Group, for the retail portfolio an automatic system to the daily process of exchanging information on the default status has been implemented within the companies of the capital group. In terms of the corporate and investment banking portfolio, the already existing process has been optimized, so that information can be exchanged on a weekly basis;
  • ◼ detailed rules for the treatment of joint credit obligations the Group uses the definition of default at the level of the obligor in the retail area, therefore it is obliged to apply the rules of paragraphs 95-105 EBA guidelines, on the basis of which it defined in its internal rules and procedures the rules for the treatment of joint credit obligations and for the transfer of default status between exposures.

The new definition of default is used consistently both for the purposes of the own funds requirements calculation and for estimating impairment and expected credit loss. In line with supervisory expectations, it also plays a meaningful role in internal credit risk management processes.

On the implementation date of the EBA/GL/2016/07 guidelines, the share of NPL exposure in the loan portfolio decreased. On the consolidated level the NPLREG ratio (ratio calculated according to EBA guideline) decreased by 0.06 pp (from 4.38% as of 31 December 2020 to 4.32% as of 1 January 2021).

The observed direction of changes is a consequence of introducing for mortgage loans portfolio the obligations from paragraphs 95 – 105 EBA guidelines, concerning the treatment of joint credit obligations. The positive effect of using the above-mentioned regulations is balanced with the negative effect of introducing a continuous method of calculating days past due and by lowering the materiality threshold to PLN 400.

In case of the corporate and investment banking portfolio, no material impact of changes to the EBA/GL/2016/07 guidelines on the NPL level. This is due to the fact that the corporate area in the assessment of the default status is mostly based on an expert judgment approach, that identifies probability of default much earlier than being past due more than 90 days. Thus, changes in the calculation of days past due introduced by the guidelines, had an immaterial impact on the level of NPL in the corporate area.

The impact of the implementation of the EBA/GL/2016/07 guidelines on the costs of credit risk, recognized by the Group in the profit and loss in the first half of 2021 amounted to PLN 37.8 million.

Group estimates that in following reporting periods the introduced changes will not have a material effect on the burden on the financial result.

COVID-19 pandemic impact on the mBank Group activities

Support measures implemented in the Group as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

In connection with the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group offered its clients a number of assistance tools aimed at supporting them in a difficult situation resulting from the outbreak of the epidemic. The purpose of these tools was to help maintain the financial liquidity of customers by reducing the financial burden in the short term.

The supporting measures offered by the Group were in line with the banks' position regarding the unification of the rules for offering supporting measures in the banking sector. This position was a non-legislative moratoria within the meaning of the European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines on legislative and non legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the COVID-19 crisis notified by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to the European Banking Authority.

The COVID-19 moratoria in Poland covered supporting instruments granted from 13 March 2020 to 30 September 2020 and afterwards – from 18 January 2021 to 31 March 2021 – supporting instruments dedicated to businesses representing crafts which suffered most due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 moratoria in Czech Republic covered supporting instruments granted from 1 April 2020 to 31 October 2020 and in Slovakia from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. In the second quarter of the year 2021 no new moratoria programs have been announced.

The moratorium reopened in Poland in January 2021 and in Retail Banking area was offered by the Group for SME operating in crafts especially hit by pandemic, mentioned in PFR Financial Shield 2.0. program regulations. It enabled changes in the schedule of payments by suspending the payments of principal amounts or full instalments for the limited period up to 9 months, including the moratorium periods granted in 2020, with the possibility of extending the loan period by the duration of the moratorium. Examination of applications that meet the conditions set by the moratorium took place in a simplified process, i.e. without the verification of the client's repayment ability. The application process was supported by the mechanism of automated verification of boundary conditions (i.a. industry registration, no delay in payment of more than one instalment, at least 6-month repayment history, contract date before 13 March 2020).

While deferring the repayment of the principal part of the loan instalment the sum of the principal amount remaining after the grace period is divided according to the algorithm (equal or decreasing instalments according to the credit agreement) for the residual maturity period. The extension of the loan period translates into lower instalments after the grace period, than in case of the deferral without the extension. When suspending principal and interest payments, the mechanism for the capital was the same as for the capital repayment deferral, while the suspended interest parts of instalments are spread out proportionally over the outstanding period after the suspension period.

The Group in Poland also offers to retail clients support under so-called Crisis Shield 4.0, effective from 23 June 2020. The customers who lost their job or another major source of income after 13 March 2020, have the right to suspend the loan repayment for up to 3 months without charging interest during the period of suspension of the agreement. This assistance tool is considered as a legislative moratorium within the meaning of the EBA guidelines. The scale of applications submitted for this form of assistance is still not significant. From 1 January 2021 till 30 June 2021 the moratorium was granted to 100 borrowers. The gross accounting amount of these loans and advances under moratorium as of 30 June 2021 amounted to PLN 19.2 million.

The moratorium offered by the Group in Corporate Banking area, was based on EBA reactivated guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied due to another wave of COVID-19 pandemic. This regulation was renewed by EBA on 2 December 2020. In spite of EBA actions, Polish Bank Association (ZBP) decided to resume the non-legislative moratorium and offered supporting instruments from 18 January to 31 March 2021. The renewed moratorium was notified by the EBA through UKNF (the Polish Financial Supervision Authority), but it's scale is significantly reduced than that of the first moratorium. Till the end of June 2021 the Bank submitted the support to 4 clients. The gross accounting amount of these loans and advances amounted to PLN 156 million.

Reactivated moratorium granted aid was limited only to clients operating in the sectors most affected by the COVID-19 pandemics, that is industries covered by the PFR Financial Shield (according to the PKD classification) or operating in the field of renting space in commercial facilities, including retail parks with the area of more than 2000 square meters. The remaining criteria qualifying clients to assistance were similar to the rules applicable under the first moratorium, that means they only applied to loans granted before 13 March 2020 and only for client who as of 31 December 2020 was not classified as default, was not pending against bankruptcy, restructuring, liquidation or enforcement proceedings and till 31 March 2021 submitted an application on changing terms of financing.

The supporting measures offered by the Group in the Corporate Banking area consisted in suspending principal amounts up to 9 months in total (taking into account the earlier period of support granted under the first moratorium) or extending revolving financing up to 9 months in total. In the case of small and medium-sized enterprises the Group also offered the possibility of suspending full instalments for up to 6 months in total.

The amount of suspended principal part of instalments increases the last loan instalment. Concerning the suspension of both principal and interest part of instalments, the amount of suspended principal increased the last loan instalment, while the amount of suspended interest was added to subsequent interest instalments payable after the deferral period (that correspond to the number of deferred instalments). In the case of commercial real estate financing transactions exceeding PLN 4 million, the repayment terms were negotiated individually. In addition, when granting assistance, the Group requires maintaining collateral at least at the same level and limiting distribution to the owner.

The tables below present information on the total scope of the moratoria and new financing covered by public guarantee programs (BGK) applied in Poland as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Poland, in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia, vast majority of loans subject to COVID-19 repayment moratoria, benefited only from the suspension of the principal repayments (it accounted for about 92% of the total exposure covered by the moratoria, value recorded on 30 June 2021). Consequently the customers are still obligated to make repayments but in a lower amount. The delay in the interest payments is subject to the standard days-past-due calculation. Overdue interest payment exceeding 30 days results in the reclassification of exposure to Stage 2, and exceeding 90 days - to Stage 3.

The comparative data as at 31 December 2020 were presented in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the client's financial situation assessment process

In assessing the financial situation of corporate clients, the Group uses only individual assessment as the most appropriate and precise (the Group does not use a collective or sectorial approach).

The process of client and transaction risk monitoring takes into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the client's situation and the strength of the impact (i.e. temporary turbulence, long-term problem for the business model, etc.) as well as the plan to mitigate this impact implemented by the client.

The client is placed on the Watch List (LW - list of clients under observation) based on standard criteria defined in the Group's internal regulations. With regard to clients who have submitted an application for assistance to the Group, the list of criteria classifying to LW has been extended by an additional, discretionary premiss in respect of COVID-19. On the basis of applying for moratorium aid, a risk analyst may put the client on the LW if, according to his opinion, problems arising from a pandemic may have a long-term nature and after its termination the customer may not return to the financial situation allowing the settlement of his obligations. Other criteria of the placement on LW, defined in the Groups' credit regulations, also apply to customers who have received support from the Group in connection with COVID-19. Placing a customer on LW results in customer classification to Stage 2.

In the scope of retail customers risk assessment, the borrowers with granted assistance tools in the form of moratorium were subject to scoring approach in accordance with the standard risk assessment process.

Description of the forbearance classification approach applied in the Group in relation to COVID-19

According to the statement of the European Banking Authority on the prudential framework regarding Default, Forbearance and IFRS 9 in light of COVID-19 measures published on 25 March 2020, saying that the use of COVID-19 aid tools in the form of repayment moratorium, meeting the EBA guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the COVID-19 crisis published on 2 April 2020 does not automatically classify exposures to default and forbearance, as well as according to the UKNF (Polish Financial Supervision Authority) statement published as a part of the Supervisory Impulse Package for Security and Development that UKNF will apply a flexible approach to the application of EBA guidelines for unsupported and restructured exposures, the Group does not classify the granting of the moratoria due to the COVID-19 crisis as forbearance.

For corporate clients, there is applied an approach based on individual assessment whether classification of such client's exposure as forborne is required, in accordance with the Group's internal regulations.

Due to the deterioration of the economic situation in the country resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has taken additional actions aimed at including this information in the expected credit losses. Due to the uncertainty caused by dynamic situation changes, the Group's activities were spread over time and in particular covered:

    1. review of sectors and individual clients of the corporate portfolio, in particular clients under observation, in order to verify the potential increase in the probability of failure to implement the restructuring plans, which was already carried out in March 2020 as the first activity of the Group as part of taking into account the impact of the epidemic on clients' financial situation,
    1. modification of the weight of macroeconomic scenarios, consisting in assigning a 100% weight to the pessimistic scenario, in the expected credit loss model, applied in the first quarter of 2020,
    1. updating models of the relationship between the long-term PD parameter and macroeconomic variables, based on historical data and the currently observed economic situation, in the second quarter of 2020,
    1. updating macroeconomic forecasts, taking into account the impact of COVID-19 and state aid actions, affecting long-term PD, EAD and LGD parameters, as well as the level of exposure allocation to Stage 2, in particular by increasing the expected level of allocation for some portfolios due to the expected increase in the loss ratio, in the second quarter of 2020,
    1. restoration of macroeconomic scenario weights of 60% for the baseline scenario, 20% for the optimistic and 20% for the pessimistic respectively, in the expected credit loss model, while taking into account the current macroeconomic forecasts implemented directly in the risk parameters, in the second quarter of 2020,
    1. monitoring of macroeconomic forecasts in order to verify the macroeconomic data used in the models in terms of their adequacy to the actual development of the economic situation in Poland. There was no basis for changing the macroeconomic forecasts within the risk parameters, in the third and fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half of 2021.

Additional cost of risk due to COVID-19 pandemic:

◼ actions taken in 2020 and in first half of 2021 regarding clients subject to non-legislative moratoria

Due to the uncertainty related to the difficulties in observation of the timeliness of repayment of loans covered by moratoria, Group also decided in the third quarter of 2020 to reclassify, some of the exposures of retail clients covered by this form of support, selected on the basis of behavioural characteristics, to Stage 2 despite no evidence of a significant increase of credit risk, which resulted in the recognition of additional cost of credit risk at the end of 2020 in the amount of PLN 53.1 million. The total gross carrying amount of the reclassified portfolio as at 31 December 2020 was PLN 3 227.57 million.

The change had an impact on exposure allocation to the stages. The share of Stage 2 in the total exposure of the loan portfolio increased but its coverage with provisions decreased, which is a natural consequence of allocating to Stage 2 exposures with a lower probability of default (lower PD).

In the first half of 2021, Group withdrew gradually from using additional premisses for maintaining loans subject to the moratoria in Stage 2. In the following months of first half of the year 2021 Group changed the stage classification for Stage 2 exposures which were repaid on time after moratoria period and for which there were no other transfer logic premisses. As of 30 June 2021 classification to Stage 2 for all retail exposures previously subject to the moratoria were consistent with qualitative and quantitative criteria of transfer logic. The reclassification resulted in the recognition of additional income in the amount of PLN 43.9 million. The total gross carrying amount reclassified to the Stage 1 due to cancellation of additional premisses, amounted to PLN 3 161 million.

◼ actions taken in 2020 and in first half of 2021 regarding clients subject to legislative moratoria

Group decided to automatically and temporarily reclassify exposures subject to the relief in the form of the statutory moratorium starting from 31 December 2020 to Stage 3, or, in justified cases, to Stage 2. The final allocation of the exposure to Stage 2 was possible after conducting additional analyses taking into account quantitative and qualitative factors, such as: co-borrower in the contract, credit quality of all customer exposures, the amount of cash flow after the date of the application for a moratorium. The reclassification resulted in the recognition of additional cost of credit risk in the amount of PLN 1.7 million in 2020, and additional amount of PLN 2.2 million in the first half of 2021. The total gross carrying amount of the temporarily reclassified portfolio as at 30 June 2021 was PLN 16.3 million.

Summary of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on expected cost of credit risk

The above-mentioned activities resulted in recognition of additional cost of credit risk in the amount of PLN 330.3 million in the portfolio measured at amortized cost. In addition, these activities had an impact on the valuation of the loan portfolio at fair value through profit or loss, for which the Group recognized an additional cost of PLN 10.3 million. In the first half of 2021 a total of PLN 31.6 million of additional cost of expected credit losses was released.

As of 30 June 2021, the Group did not applied management corrections (overlays).

In the first half of 2021, the Group did not change its forecast of future macroeconomic conditions, therefore this factor did not influenced the estimate of expected credit losses.

The Group will continue to analyse the impact of COVID-19 and state aid programs on the result of the cost of credit risk in the upcoming quarters.

Apart from the activities related to the updating of the credit risk models mentioned above, the Group did not introduce any other dedicated changes into the models used for the purposes of calculating the expected credit risk losses, due to:

  • ◼ lack of significant impact of the current economic situation (resulting mainly from the applied support measures) on parameters such as default rate or level of portfolio losses,
  • ◼ results of consultations with other units of the Bank's Group risk division indicating that there is no need to take into account additional effects of the COVID-19 impact on the models.

In the model management process, the Group has carried out cyclical and one-off activities such as:

  • ◼ cyclical recalibration of the long-term PD models and quantitative staging model,
  • ◼ adjustment of the LLP models to the EBA new definition of default,
  • ◼ improvement of the sensitivity of the quantitative staging model,
  • ◼ redevelopment of Limit Utilization and Prepayment Ratio components within EAD model,
  • ◼ recalibration of macroeconomic component of ECL models for foreign branches of the Bank in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia.

Prepayments of retail loans

CJEU ruled on 11 September 2019 that in case concerning consumer loans paid off prematurely the consumer has the right to a reduction in the total cost of the loan in the event of early repayment of the credit. The interpretation constituted an answer to a prejudicial question asked in a court case in which few banks have participated including mBank.

The above ruling impacts consumer loans granted on 18 December 2011 or later, in the amount not exceeding 255 550 PLN or its equivalent in other currency and mortgage loans granted on 22 July 2017 or later with no limit of the loan amount, which have been paid off fully or partially.

As of 30 June 2021 the provision recorded within other provisions (Note 24) related to potential reimbursements of commissions in relation to early repayments of loans before the date of the verdict amounted to PLN 8.5 million (PLN 13.8 million as of 31 December 2020).

The total negative impact of early repayments of retail loans on the Group's gross profit for the first half of 2021 amounted to PLN 43.6 million (first half of 2020: PLN 29.1 million).

The above estimates are burdened with significant uncertainty regarding the number of customers who will request the Bank to refund commissions regarding earlier repayments made by the CJEU verdict as well as the expected rate of loan prepayments in the future.

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 2.7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

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 first half of 2021 was 42.7% (50.9% in the first half of 2020).

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 8% of bancassurance income associated with cash and car loans and 0% to approximately 20% 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.

The Group as a lessee makes 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, determining the interest rate used to discount future cash flows and determination of the depreciation rate of right-of-use assets.

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 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 offers a full range of the products and services to individual customers, including Private Banking customers and micro-businesses. The key products and services offered to customers in this segment include lending products (mortgage loans, overdrafts, cash loans, car loans, credit cards), deposit products (current and savings accounts, term deposits), debit cards, insurance products, brokerage services, investment advice, asset management services and leasing services. 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., LeaseLink Sp. z o.o. and mElements S.A., as well as the results of retail segments of mLeasing Sp. z o.o., Asekum Sp. z o.o. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • ◼ The Corporate and Investment Banking segment, which offers fiancial services to small, medium and large-sized companies, public sector entities, financial institutions and banks. The key products offered to these customers include transactional banking (cash management, current accounts, term deposits, internet banking, trade finance services, letters of credit and guarantees), working capital and investment loans, project finance, structured and mezzanine finance services as well as custody, leasing and factoring services. The products of this segment include operations in the foreign exchange, capital and derivatives markets, both for own account and on behalf of customers, as well as services for arranging and financing securities issues, financial consulting and brokerage services for financial institutions. The Corporate and Investment Banking segment also generates result of foreign exchange risk management. This segment includes the results of the following subsidiaries: mFaktoring S.A., G-Invest 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. and mBank Hipoteczny S.A.
  • ◼ The Treasury and Other segment consists primarily of treasury and money markets operation, liquidity and interest rate risks management of the Bank and its investment portfolio.The results of the segment include result of internal settlements of fund transfer pricing, result of items classified as hedge accounting and results not allocated to other segments.This segment also includes the results of mFinance France S.A. and BDH Development Sp. z.o.o. until the date of discontinuation of consolidation as well as the results of mLeasing Sp. z o.o and mBank Hipoteczny S.A. with regard to activities concerning funding and results of Future Tech Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty.
  • ◼ FX Mortgage Loans segment consists primarily of foreign currency mortgage loans with indexation clauses granted to individual customers. These types of loans are no longer offered to customers. Segment assets include only the active loan portfolio.

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

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

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.

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. until the date of deconsolidation (November 2020). 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".

Due to changes in the division of activities into segments since the beginning of 2021, the comparative data for 2020 by operating segments have been changed accordingly. The changes included mainly the liquidation of the Financial Markets segment and were a consequence of organizational changes that were implemented in the Bank in 2020. The part of the Financial Markets segment related to operations on foreign exchange markets, capital markets and derivative instruments for own account has been moved to the Corporate and Investment Banking segment. The part of Financial Markets segment activity related to treasury operations, liquidity and interest rate risks management after the changes is reported in the Treasury and Other segment.

The presentation of funds kept in central banks in Czechia and Slovakia (reverse repo transactions and funds on Nostro accounts) in the geographical areas on the activities of mBank S.A. Group was changed. The management of these assets is a part of Treasury Department activities, thus these assets and related net interest income are reported as a part of "Poland" segment. Consequently, geographical segments comparative data were adjusted.

Additionally FX Mortgage Loans segment has been separated from Retail Banking segment. This change was aimed at a separate presentation of the results related to the product, which has already been withdrawn from the offer for individual customers, and at the same time is significant from the point of view of the assigned assets and the impact on the Group's results.

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 interest rate swaps – CIRS). Except from CIRS there is no exchange of principal at the origin and maturity of the transaction. 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.

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

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting and cash flow hedge accounting. Detailed information on hedge accounting are presented in these Note below.

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 2.13 of Consolidated financial statements for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

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, acquired by the Bank in the substitution process. 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,
  • ◼ part of the fixed interest rate mortgage portfolio granted by mBank's foreign branch in the Czech Republic. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates,
  • ◼ part of the portfolio of deposits modelled by the Bank in PLN with economic characteristics of fixed rate deposits. The hedged risk results from changes in interest rates.

Hedged items

The hedged items are:

  • ◼ one tranche of fixed interest rate eurobonds issued by mFF, acquired by the Bank in the substitution process, with a total nominal value of EUR 427 583 thousand,
  • ◼ one tranche of fixed interest rate eurobonds issued by mFF, acquired by the Bank in the substitution process, 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 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 EUR 460 030 thousand,
  • ◼ part of the fixed interest rate mortgage portfolio, denominated in CZK, granted by mBank's foreign branch in the Czech Republic,
  • ◼ part of the portfolio of deposits modelled by the Bank in PLN with economic characteristics of fixed rate deposits.

Hedging instruments

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

Presentation of the result from hedged and hedging transactions

Fair value adjustment of the hedged assets and liabilities as well as valuation of the hedging instruments are recognised in the income statement as trading income, with the exception of interest income and costs of the interest element of the valuation of hedging instruments, which are presented in the item Interest income / expense on derivatives concluded under the fair value hedge.

Cash flow hedge accounting

Cash flow hedge accounting of the part of loans at a variable interest rate indexed to the market rate portfolio, granted by the Bank

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)".

The period from July 2021 to August 2029 is the period in which the cash flows are expected, and when they are expected to have an impact on the result.

Cash flow hedges in relation to mortgage loans and mortgage bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny

The Group applies hedge accounting with respect to cash flows of the portfolio of mortgage loans denominated in PLN and mortgage bonds denominated in EUR issued by mBank Hipoteczny. The purpose of the hedging strategy is to eliminate the risk of volatility of cash flows generated by mortgage loans in PLN due to changes in reference interest rates and mortgage bonds denominated in a convertible currency due to exchange rate changes using currency interest rate swaps (CIRS).

As part of hedge accounting, the Group designates a hedged item consisting of:

  • ◼ parts of the portfolio of housing loans for retail customers entered in the collateral register for mortgage covered bonds, denominated in PLN with an interest rate indexed to 3M WIBOR, the loan margin is excluded from collateral,
  • ◼ mortgage bonds issued by the Bank in EUR with a fixed interest rate.

As hedging instruments, the Group uses CIRS derivative transactions in which, as a party to the transaction, it pays variable interest flows in PLN increased by a margin and receives fixed interest rates in EUR and the denominations are exchanged at the beginning and at the end of the transaction. As transactions concluded by a mortgage bank, CIRS transactions are subject to entry in the register of covered bond collateral. In addition, if the bank's bankruptcy is announced by the court, it will not be immediately terminated, it will last until the end of the original maturity on the conditions specified on the date of the transaction (they will not be extended beyond the original maturity).

The Group hedges the interest rate risk and currency risk within one economic relationship between the concluded CIRS transactions and part of the loan portfolio in PLN and mortgage bonds financing them in EUR. For the purposes of cash flow hedge accounting, the Group simultaneously establishes two hedging relationships:

  • ◼ by decomposing the part of the actual CIRS transaction securing the portfolio of loans in PLN with a variable interest rate (hedging against interest rate risk) and,
  • ◼ by decomposing the actual portion of the CIRS transaction securing the liability in EUR (protection against currency risk).

For the purpose of calculating changes in the fair value of future cash flows of items being hedged, the Group uses the "hypothetical derivative" method, which assumes the possibility of reflecting the hedged item and the characteristics of the risk being hedged in the form of a derivative. The valuation principles are analogous to the principles for the valuation of interest rate derivatives.

In the case of established relationships, the period in which cash flows are expected and when they should be expected to influence the results is the period from July 2021 to September 2025.

The following note presents other comprehensive income due to cash flow hedges for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2021 and for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2020.

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 IFRS 9, 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 IFRS 7.

The approach to the method used for the loans that are fair valued in line of IFRS 9 requirements, is described in the Note 3.3.7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank Group for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

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 (mark-to-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 discounted cash flows by the use of discounting factor including an estimation of a spread reflecting the credit spread for mBank and the liquidity margin. For the loans received from European Investment Bank in EUR and in CHF 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.

During the first half of 2021 and the first half of 2020 there were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of fair value hierarchy.

With regard to financial instruments valuated in repetitive way to the fair value classified as level 1 and 2 in hierarchy of fair value, any cases in which transfer between these levels may occur, are monitored by the Bank on the basis of internal rules. In case if there is no market price used to a direct valuation for more than 5 working days, the method of valuation is changed, i.e. change from marked-to-market valuation to marked-to-model valuation under the assumption that the valuation model for the respective type of this instrument has been already approved. The return to marked-to-market valuation method takes place after a period of at least 10 working days in which the market price was available on a continuous basis. If there is no market prices for a debt treasury bonds the above terms are respectively 2 and 5 working days.

As at 30 June 2021, 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 949 596 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 29 038 942 thousand (see Note 18) (31 December 2020 respectively: PLN 366 517 thousand and PLN 33 141 490 thousand). Level 1 includes the fair values of corporate bonds in the amount of PLN 1 401 733 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 1 181 224 thousand).

In addition, as at 30 June 2021 level 1 includes the value of the registered privileged shares of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych in the amount of PLN 1 000 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 960 thousand).

As at 30 June 2021, level 1 also includes liabilities from short sale of securities in the amount of PLN 522 576 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 679 979 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 184 996 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).

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 1 349 293 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 1 340 033 thousand) and includes the fair value of a debt instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, representing the rights to preferred stock of Visa Inc.

Level 3 includes also the fair value of local government bonds in the amount of PLN 36 367 thousand (31 December 2020 - PLN 36 335 thousand).

Model valuation for these items assumes a valuation based on the market interest rate yield curve adjusted by the level of credit spread. The credit spread parameter reflects the credit risk of the security issuer and is determined in accordance with the Bank's internal model. This model uses credit risk parameters (e.g. PD, LGD) and information obtained from the market (including implied spreads from transactions). PD and LGD parameters are not observed on active markets and therefore have been determined on the basis of statistical analysis. Both models - the valuation of debt instruments and the credit spread model were built internally in the Bank by risk units, were approved by the Model Risk Committee and are subject to periodic monitoring and validation carried out by an entity independent of the units responsible for building and maintaining the model.

Level 3 as at 30 June 2021 includes the value of loans and advances to customers in the amount of PLN 1 429 726 thousand (31 December 2020 – PLN 1 694 221 thousand). The Fair Value calculation process for loans and advances to customers is described detailly on the Note 3.3.7. of Consolidated financial statement of Group of mBank S.A. for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

Moreover, level 3 covers mainly the fair value of equity securities amounting to PLN 208 502 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 201 344 thousand). The 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.

Level 3 also includes the valuation of CIRS contracts concluded under cash flow hedge accounting of the PLN mortgage loan portfolio and covered bonds issued by mBank Hipoteczny (for more information, see Note 16). As at 30 June 2021, the valuation of these contracts was positive (presented in assets) and amounted to PLN 78 678 thousand (31 December 2020: PLN 121 029 thousand – presented in assets).

According to the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending regulation (EU) No 648/2012 ("CRR Regulation"), mBank is a significant subsidiary of EU parent institution, responsible for the preparation of the prudentially consolidated financial data to fulfil the requirement of disclosures described in IAS 1.135 "Presentation of Financial Statements".

Financial information presented below does not represent the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measures as defined by the standards.

mBank S.A. Group ("the Group") consists of entities defined in accordance with the rules of prudential consolidation, specified by the CRR Regulation.

Basis of the preparation of the consolidated financial data

The consolidated profit presented in the prudentially consolidated financial data may be included in consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 for the purpose of the calculation of consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio and consolidated total capital ratio with the prior permission of the KNF or after approval by the General Meeting of shareholders.

The accounting policies applied for the preparation of the Group prudentially consolidated financial data are identical to those, which have been applied to the mBank S.A.

mFinance France S.A. - - - - 99.998% full

As of December 2020, the consolidation of mFinance France S.A. was discontinued.

Entities included in the scope of prudential consolidation are defined in the Regulation CRR – institutions, financial institutions or ancillary services undertakings, which are subsidiaries or undertakings in which a participation is held, except for entities in which the total amount of assets and off-balance sheet items of the undertaking concerned is less than the smaller of the following two amounts:

  • ◼ EUR 10 million;
  • ◼ 1 % of the total amount of assets and off-balance sheet items of the parent undertaking or the undertaking that holds the participation.

The consolidated financial data combine items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses of the parent with those of its subsidiaries eliminating the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary. Thus arises goodwill. If goodwill has negative value, it is recognised directly in the income statement. The profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income is attributed to the Group's owners and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it shall account for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between companies of the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

26. Proceedings before a court, arbitration body or public administration authority

The Group monitors the status of all court cases brought against entities of the Group, including the status of court rulings regarding loans in foreign currencies in terms of shaping of and possible changes in the line of verdicts of the courts, as well as the level of required provisions for legal proceedings.

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 June 2021 amounted to PLN 261 052 thousand (PLN 200 536 thousand as at 31 December 2020). 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.

  1. Claims of Interbrok's clients

Since 2008, the Bank has received 9 claims for damages in connection with the activities of Interbrok Investment E. Dróżdż i Spółka Spółka jawna (hereinafter Interbrok). 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 afore-mentioned 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 276 499 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. By the judgment of 25 January 2021, the Court of Appeal in Warsaw dismissed the appeal of the plaintiff. The judgment of the District Court in Warsaw and the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw are final. The plantiff has the right to appeal against the sentence in the Supreme Court.

  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 thousand 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.

On 16 August 2018 mBank S.A. has submitted its statement of defence and requested that the action be dismissed. The court accepted the Defendants' requests to summon sixteen banks to join the proceedings and ordered that the banks be served with the summons. Two banks have notified of their intention to intervene in the case as an indirect intervener.

  1. A lawsuit filed by Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A.

On 7 February 2020, mBank S.A. received a lawsuit filed by Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A. (Orlen S.A.) with its registered office in Płock seeking damages amounting to PLN 635 681 thousand on account of interchange fee. In the lawsuit, Orlen S.A. petitioned the court for awarding the damages jointly from mBank S.A. and other domestic bank and also from Master Card Europe and VISA Europe Management Services.

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, i.e. a collusion restricting competition in the market of acquiring services connected with settling clients' liabilities towards the plaintiff on account of card payments for goods and services purchased by clients on the territory of Poland.

On 28 May 2020, mBank S.A. filed a response to the lawsuit and moved for a dismissal of a claim. The Court allowed for the motions of Defendants to summon 16 banks to participate in the case and preordained the service of a summoning motion to the banks. Two banks have notified of their intention to intervene in the case as an indirect intervener.

  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. The Bank responded to the lawsuit filing for its dismissal in whole.

As at 17 October 2012, the group of class members consisted of 1 247 individuals. 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. 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. 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. On Hearing which took place on 15 July 2020 mBank S.A. withdrew mBank's appeal against the ruling of 9 September 2013. In consequence the Appeal Court decided to dismissed proceedings what means that the ruling of the District Court in Łódź dated 3 July 2013 is final and non appealable. The ruling dated 3 July 2013 does not question the validity of the concluded credit agreements. Once the ruling becomes final and non-appealable:

◼ interest on the loans covered by the class action will be charged at the fixed interest rate applicable on the date the loans were granted;

◼ a claim of the class members will arise for reimbursement of amounts potentially paid in excess of the fixed interest in the period covered by the class action.

The total value of claims in this class action amounted to PLN 5.2 million.

This case has already been validly closed. Up to now mBank has made most of the transfers to consumers taking part in these proceedings and adjusted the interest rate in all the loan contracts included in the proceeding until the sentence.

  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.

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.

As decided by the Court on 13 March 2018, the group is composed of 1 731 persons. 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. On 27 February 2020, a hearing was held at the Court of Appeal in Łódź. On 9 March 2020, a verdict was passed in a case in which the Court of Appeal referred the case for re-examination of the Regional Court. On 9 June 2020, the Court of Appeal agreed to the plaintiff's motion to secure the plaintiff's claims by suspending the obligation to repay principal and interest instalments and prohibiting the bank from issuing calls for payment and terminating credit agreements. The proceeding before the Court of first instance were suspended until the resolution undertaken by the full cabinet of Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court.

As at 30 June 2021 the total value of claims in this class actions amounted to PLN 377 million.

  1. Individual court proceedings concerning indexation clauses

Apart from the class action proceeding there are also individual court proceedings initiated against the Bank by its customers in connection with CHF loan agreements. As of 30 June 2021 – 10 568 individual court proceedings (31 December 2020: 7 508 proceedings) were initiated against the Bank by its customers in connection with CHF loan agreements with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 2 424.2 million (31 December 2020: PLN 1 454.2 million).

Out of the individual proceedings 10 072 proceedings (31 December 2020: 6 870 proceedings) with the total value of claims amounting to PLN 2 413.9 million (31 December 2020: PLN 1 442.2 million) related to indexation clauses in CHF loan agreements and include claims for declaring ineffectiveness or invalidity in part (i.e. to the extent that the agreement contains contractual provisions related to indexation) or invalidity in whole of the loan agreements.

The carrying amount of mortgage and housing loans granted to individual customers in CHF as at 30 June 2021 amounted to PLN 11.0 billion (i.e. CHF 2.7 billion) compared to PLN 12.3 billion (i.e. CHF 2.9 billion) as at the end of 2020. Additionally the volume of the portfolio of loans granted in CHF that were already fully repaid as of 30 June 2021 amounted to PLN 7.0 billion (31 December 2020: PLN 6.8 billion).

The Bank's approach to the measurement of the impact of the legal risk associated with this portfolio of loans has been described in the Note 3 "Major estimates and judgments made in connection with the application of accounting policy principles".

Rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding a CHF mortgages

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.

In October 2020, prejudicial questions were referred to CJEU in two individual cases against mBank. The question referred in first case aims at determining the starting point for the limitation period in the case of consumer claims for undue performance. The question referred in the second case aims at determining whether, in the event of declaring the exchange rate clause abusive, it is possible to apply in its place the provision of the Civil Code referring to the average NBP exchange rate.

The Bank expects decisions on both these matters at the turn of 2021 and 2022.

On 29 April 2021, the CJEU issued a judgment in case C-19/20. According to this judgment, if the unfair (abusive) nature of the contractual provision leads to annulment of the contract, the Court should not annul the contract until the Court informs the consumer in an objective and comprehensive manner about the legal consequences the annulment of such a contract may cause (whether or not the consumer is represented by a legal advisor) and until the Court allows the consumer to express a free and informed consent to the questioned provision and the continuation of the contract.

Supreme Court resolutions on loans in CHF

On 29 January 2021 the motion for adopting a resolution has been submitted to the Supreme Court by the First President of the Supreme Court. The full bench of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court will answer to abusive provisions can be replaced with provisions of civil law or common practice, whether it is possible to maintain indexed/denominate loan as a PLN loan with an interest rate based on LIBOR, whether the theory of balance or the theory of two conditionalities will apply on the event of the CHF loan invalidity, the starting point of the limitation period in the case of the bank's claim for reimbursement of the amounts paid under the loan and whether banks and consumers can receive a remuneration from for using use of their funds by the other party.

There was one non-public seatting in this case, during which the Supreme Court decided to request the Ombudsman, Financial Ombudsman, Children's Ombudsman, NBP and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to take a position. The positions of these bodies have been submitted.

The next sitting is scheduled for 2 September 2021.

The resolution of the Supreme Court of 16 February 2021 in case III CZP 11/20 endorsed the theory of two claims if a credit agreement is declared to be invalid. The Supreme Court in written justification found that the risk of insolvency of either of the unduly enriched parties is largely mitigated by the right of retention of received benefits until the other party offers to repay received benefits or secures the claims for repayment.

On May 7, 2021 (III CZP 6/21), a resolution 7 of the Supreme Court's judges which has the force of a legal principle was issued, in which it was decided that:

  • ◼ the prohibited contractual provision (Civil Code Art.3851 §1) is from the very beginning, by virtue of law ineffective for the benefit of the consumer, who may grant subsequently informed and free consent to this provision and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively,
  • ◼ if the loan agreement cannot be binding without an ineffective provision, the consumer and the bank are entitled to separate claims for the reimbursement of cash benefits provided in the performance of this agreement (Article 410 § 1 in conjunction with Article 405 of the Civil Code). The bank may request the return of the benefit from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.

In the written justification, the Supreme Court confirmed its earlier positions as to the application of the theory of two claims and the issue of calculating the limitation period for the bank's claims in the event that the contract cannot be upheld after the abusive provisions have been eliminated. The Supreme Court explained that due to the possibility granted to the consumer to make a binding decision regarding the sanctioning of the prohibited clause and to accept the consequences of the total invalidity of the contract, it should be recognized that, as a rule, the limitation period for these claims may start running only after the consumer has made a binding decision in this regard. Only then, in the opinion of the Supreme Court, can it be concluded that the lack of a legal basis for the benefit has become definitive (as in the case of condictio causa finita), and the parties could effectively demand the return of the undue benefit. This means, in particular, that the consumer cannot assume that the bank's claim has expired within the time limit calculated as if the call to return the loan was possible already on the day it was made available. In justifying the resolution, the Supreme Court also confirmed that in order to avoid risks related to the borrower's insolvency, the bank may use the right of retention provided in Art. 497 in connection with Art. 496 of the Civil Code, thus protecting its claim for the return of used principal, since the obligation to return it is - in relation to the obligation to put the funds at the disposal of the borrower - something more than a consideration obligation.

On 6 July 2021, the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court refused to pass a resolution on Swiss franc indexed loans. The Supreme Court indicated that the question of whether the balance theory or the two claims theory should be applied has already been resolved in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court (including the resolution of 7 judges of 7 May 2021 (III CZP 6/21), and earlier in the resolution of 16 February 2021 (III CZP 11/20).

The Bank will analyse the content of the resolution of the entire Chamber of the Supreme Court and the justification for resolution III CZP 6/21 after their publication, in particular its expected impact on further jurisprudence and the parameters used in the calculation of the impact of the legal risk related to indexed loans.

PFSA's Chairman proposal

The general assumptions of the PFSA's Chairman proposal to convert F/X loans to PLN have been announced in December 2020. The proposal assumes that indexed to / denominated in foreign currency loan (CHF / EUR / USD) would be converted as it was from beginning a PLN loan with an interest rate of WIBOR 3M increased by a margin used historically for such loans.

As at the date of approval these financial statements mBank has not made any decisions on offering settlements according to the PFSA's Chairman proposal nor has taken any steps to acquire any corporate consents in that matter. It will be a subject of further analysis and discussions with financial authorities. The PFSA's proposal has not been taken into consideration when calculating the impact of the legal risk related to foreign currency indexed loans.

The detailed information on the estimated, potential impact of implementation of the conversion plan on mBank has been published in the Consolidated Financial Statements of mBank S.A. Group for 2020, published on 25 February 2021.

Tax inspections

On 11 May 2021, the Head of the Customs and Tax Office in Opole (Urząd Celno-Skarbowy w Opolu) has initiated tax audits regarding the correctness and reliability of withholding tax (WHT) settlements on payments listed in Art. 21 sec. 1 of the Act of 15 February 1992 on corporate income tax for years 2018 and 2019. The tax audit is under way.

The tax authorities may inspect at any time the books and records within 5 years subsequent to the reported tax year and may impose additional tax assessments and penalties. In the opinion of the Management Board there are no circumstances, which would indicate that crystallising of material tax liabilities in this respect is probable.

Inspection by the Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA Office)

In the period from October till December 2018 the PFSA Office employees carried out an inspection in the Bank in order to investigate whether the activities of mBank S.A. in the area of fulfilling its duties as the depositary were in conformity with the law and agreements on the performance of functions of the depositary, in particular in conformity with the Act of 27 May 2004 on Investment Funds and Management of Alternative Investment Funds (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1355, as later amended).

The detailed findings of the inspection were presented in the protocol delivered to the Bank on 11 February 2019. On 25 February 2019 the Bank delivered to the PFSA office its objections to the protocol as well as additional explanations related to the issues being the subject of the inspection.

On 1 April 2019 the Bank received PFSA response to the objections to the inspection protocol as well as PFSA recommendations in regard to the adjustment of Bank's activity as a depositary bank for investment funds to the applicable law. All objections of the Bank have been rejected by the regulator.

On 25 April 2019 the Bank submitted to PFSA Office a declaration of actions taken as realization of post-inspection recommendations. PFSA by letter dated 4 September 2019 objected to the implementation of selected recommendations. On 11 October 2019 Bank submitted to PFSA the response addressing given objections, in which the description of taken actions was further specified as well as some new solutions for implementation were presented. On 5 December 2019, the PFSA Office sent to the Bank a reply to the letter containing the acceptance of some of the Bank's activities aimed at implementing post-audit recommendations and clarifications of other expectations that are being implemented. On 14 May 2020 the Bank formally confirmed the implementation of all the PFSA recommendations.

On 27 February 2020, the Bank received the decision of PFSA Office dated 25 February 2020 to initiate administrative proceedings regarding the imposition of an administrative penalty on the Bank, pursuant to the provisions of the Act dated 27 May 2004 on investment funds and management of alternative investment funds. On 23 April 2021 the Bank received a decision of the PFSA dated 16 April 2021 regarding this proceeding, imposing a fine on the Bank in the total amount of PLN 4 300 thousand. The Bank created provision for the abovementioned fine in the amount of PLN 4 300 thousand. As of the date of approving these condensed consolidated financial statements this decision is not final and is not binding.

Proceedings initiated by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK)

  • ◼ Proceedings for considering provisions of a template agreement as abusive instituted ex officio on 12 April 2019. The proceedings concern amendment clauses stipulating under which circumstances the bank is authorised to amend the terms and conditions of the agreement, including the amount of fees and commissions. In the opinion of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK), the amendment clauses used by the Bank give it an unlimited right to unilaterally and freely change the manner of performing the agreement. As a consequence, the UOKiK President represents the view that the clauses used by mBank define the rights and obligations of consumers contrary to good morals and grossly violate their interest and, thus, are abusive. The Bank does not agree with this stance. mBank responded to the decision on instituting the proceedings in letters dated 28 May 2019 and 10 January 2020. As at the date of approval these consolidated financial statements, the UOKiK President did not take any further actions in the case in question, did not take a stance, and did not respond to mBank's letters. The Office postponed the termination of proceeding until 31 July 2021. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the Office has not delivered any decision regarding the termination or extension of the proceeding o the Bank.
  • ◼ By a judgment of 2 February 2021, the Court of Appeal in Warsaw dismissed the Bank's appeal in a case concerning UOKiK proceedings initiated in 2015 regarding the application by mBank S.A. practices violating collective consumer interests, due to the fact that mBank did not apply a negative interest rate due to the negative base rate of LIBOR, and changed the judgment of SOKiK in the part revoking the decision to impose a fine. The Bank complied with the judgment and paid a fine of PLN 6 585 thousand. On 14 June 2021, the Bank filed a cassation complaint with the Supreme Court.

In the first half of 2021 the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the economic actions undertaken to prevent its negative impact, significantly affected the Group's results, mainly by increasing the expected credit losses charges as well as on the interest income. The Group expects further impact of the pandemic and related activities undertaken in Poland and worldwide on the results of the next quarter of 2021.

In the third quarter of 2021, a resolution of the Supreme Court on issues related to the CHF loan portfolio is planned, which is described in more detail in Point 26 of Selected explanatory information "Proceedings pending before a court, body competent for arbitration proceedings or public administration body". The Bank expects that the rulings made by the Supreme Court may have an impact on further jurisprudence of common courts and the value of parameters used by the Bank to determine the impact of the legal risk related to CHF-indexed mortgage and housing loans on Group results.
