Central bank policies have remained at the forefront of financial markets throughout the year. They have a key role in soothing markets in times of unfavourable conditions, resulting from the numerous economic, political and banking system disturbances. As markets transition into the final quarter of the year, speculation surrounding the potential extension and tapering of the European Central Bank's asset purchase program and the expected interest rate increase in the United States will continue to impart significant influence on markets and the interest rate environment.
Economic data in the Euro-area has remained resilient on Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Current expectations for 2016 point to region's economic recovery at a pace slightly above 1.5%. Positive trends in the regions labor market are expected to continue supporting domestic demand, which continues to grow in importance to the sustainability of economic growth, while the global economy continues to show signs of slowing, as evinced by the numerous global growth forecast downgrades in the year. A continuation of the region's positive economic trends remains the base scenario as we move into the final quarter of the year, however, uncertainties regarding Britain's exit from the European Union, Italy's December referendum, next year's elections in Europe and a further deterioration in the global economy are notable factors which could negatively impact positive expectations.
Outlook
Slovenia's economy growth is expected to reach above 2% in 2016. In addition to growth rate forecast upgrades from numerous institutions, in the third quarter Fitch raised the county's credit rating by one notch to 'A-', with a stable outlook, while Moody's increased the country's macroeconomic rating and upgraded the credit rating outlook to 'positive'. The government is expected to continue the notable progress it has made in decreasing its deficit. The nation's public debt is expected to decrease in the current year, for the first time since 2008. In addition to strong trade performance, domestic demand is projected to make notable gains in the near-term. Considerable labour market progress, with a notable 1.5 percentage point fall of unemployment levels to 10.8%, as of July, combined with growing wages and the nascent recovery of the real-estate market should have a continued positive impact on private consumption. Although the significant progress made in recent years is expected to continue, Slovenia's economic recovery remains dual natured. Export oriented sectors of the economy have experienced significant advances, while domestically oriented sectors remain substantially below their pre-crisis levels. The successful revival of the construction sector remains a key milestone of the economic sustainability.
Banking System
The local banking system continues to make significant headway. The system's capital adequacy is among the highest in the European Union, while a notable improvement of credit quality has been achieved. Non-performing loans decreased to 6.7% as of August, a decrease of 2.2 percentage points in the year. As the quality of the credit portfolio improves, the release of reservations and impairments continues to benefit the systems profitability, in the first eight months of the year the system generated a ROE of 11.75%, a 63% increase when compared with the same period in 2015, despite falling interest margins. Supported by the recovery of the real estate market and low interest rates, loans to households continue to be the sole credit category experiencing growth, while systemic overcapacities and a high deposit base continue to depress private sector loans. Household deposits increased by 4.7% in the first eight months of the year. A competitive pressures within the Slovenian banking system has resulted in the continued downward trend of interest rates through the year, with interest rates on loans to the corporate sector experiencing a particularly notable fall. The high degree of competition and the resulting interest rate pressure will continue to depress earnings in the mid-term, a factor pointing towards a need for further consolidation within the system.

Sales
In 2016 NLB Group is continuing with an overall improvement in business results and further intensified sales and sales support activities:
- A proactive approach to sales activities is bringing results in the form of a maintained market share in retail (23.4%) and corporate loans (22.9%) while NLB pursues the achievement of profitability before volume of business.

manage the costs. This has been a regular process and will be continued diligently and decisively. Routine and transactional banking services will be further simplified, standardised and moved to online channels, while traditional channels and personal contacts will be used for extending advisory services and thereby for fostering long-term relationships and loyalty.
- In order to boost housing loan sales and demonstrate our commitment to corporate social responsibility, a marketing campaign with donation support for Slovenian maternity hospitals was carried out. From each housing loan concluded in June, the Bank put aside EUR 100 into the respective pool for the purchase of necessary medical equipment. The campaign was very successful and a total of EUR 55,400 was donated to six Slovenian hospitals.

Risk
- The volume of non-performing loans on the NLB Group level dropped by EUR 504 million and stood at EUR 1.391 billion at the end of September 2016. The share of non-performing loans decreased by 4.8 of a percentage point to 14.5%.While the majority of restructuring efforts was successfully completed in 2014 and 2015, monitoring of the restructured corporate and SME exposures continued and several clients were transferred back to front office as 'cured' clients.

Moreover, the restructuring and work-out capacities and approaches, which were built in the past period, are increasingly focused on actively solving new cases with a faster and more active approach to restructuring and work-out.
Strategy of NLB Group
- NLB Group has successfully undertaken restructuring measures over the last 3 years thereby stabilising its franchise and returning to profit in all of its Core markets. However, NLB Group is fully conscious of the future challenges to its profitability and growth such as increased competition in a low interest rate environment, more demanding and knowledgeable clients with an increasing preference for digital channels, further regulatory interventions increasing complexity and cost of operations as well as geopolitical risks and volatility in financial markets.
- In order to best respond to its future challenges, NLB Group launched a review of its strategy in the second quarter of 2016. The renewed NLB Group's strategy 2016 - 2020 that was adopted by the Supervisory board of NLB d.d. in August 2016, is directed at improving customer experience, optimising product offering, simplifying Bank's systems and operations and enhancing distribution channels and capabilities. Part of the strategy aims at delivering of modernised IT capabilities by establishing or updating key elements of NLB's IT application architecture. In addition to supporting target business improvements, NLB also aspires for a leaner, more agile and cost-effective IT architecture thus fit to respond to the main digital challenges of the industry. On the basis of the new strategy, NLB Group aims to achieve both immediate improvements to its results (increase ROE to above 10%, reduce CIR to approximately 50%) as well as build a basis for a better mid- to long-term competitive position.

Key developments
- Net profit after tax of EUR 91.5 million in the nine months of 2016 was 18% higher than in the third quarter of 2015. Profitability of all banks of NLB Group was improved. The return on equity (ROE after tax) increased by 0.7 of a percentage point to 8.2% YoY. Key business activities1 showed improved results by EUR 16.5 million or 18% and total net revenues improved by EUR 1.2 million or 0.4% YoY.
- Pre-provision profit was EUR 143.5 million or 2% lower compared the same period of last year (2015: EUR 146.2 million). Positive one-off effects from successful divestments offset lower recurring revenues, mostly from lower interest income in Financial Markets business due to substantially reduced interest rates in the Eurozone. Key business activities showed positive developments with strong contribution from core banking subsidiaries while corporate and retail segment in Slovenia decreased. Non-recurring effects influenced the results in 2016 positively in amount of EUR 10.4 million, including effects from the sale of a non-core equity investment with positive effect of EUR 5.5 million and the Visa EU share transaction with positive effect of EUR 7.8 million, offset with non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 2.9 million. In contrast to the previous year, the result in third quarter of 2016 includes the payment of NLB d.d. to the SRF2 fund and DGS3 in total amount of EUR 8.1 million.
- The agreement to sell a portfolio of non-performing loans ("Project Pine") influenced the nine months result with lower interest income by EUR 4.1 million and additional credit impairments in amount of EUR 25.5 million (EUR 2.7 million higher than estimated in first half year result, primarily due to off-setting of received payments for sold claims). A closing of a transaction is in final stage.
- Net interest margin decreased slightly from 2.67% to 2.59% YoY, normalised of the effects of the sale of non-performing loans the margin would have been 2.64%. Key business activities increased the net interest income for EUR 3.4 million or 1.9% YoY. The biggest drop was recorded in Financial markets in Slovenia where net interest income decreased by EUR 12.3 million or 26% YoY due to extremely low and partially negative interest rate environment for investable securities of the substantial liquidity reserve book (EUR 4,055 million).
- Costs dropped by 1% YoY due to a reduction in non-labour costs. CIR increased by 0.2 of a percentage point to 59.9%.
- Sustainable credit risk provision is a consequence of improving the quality of the credit portfolio. The cost of risk was impacted negatively by a non-recurring effect in amount of EUR 25.5 million from an agreement on the sale of a package of non-performing loans.
- Gross loans decrease by EUR 356.6 million of which EUR 233.3 million due to "Project Pine". The volume of loans in the Non-core segment of NLB Group was actively reduced, resulting in a drop of EUR 222.2 million YtD to the level of EUR 816 million. Gross loans in key business activities increased by EUR 61.9 million or 1% YtD (net of effects from "Project Pine" loans increased by EUR 118.3 or 1.9%).

Key business activities increased their profit before tax by EUR 16.5 million or 18% YoY due to net interest income growing by EUR 3.4 million or 1.9% YoY. Volume of loans in key business activities raised by EUR 118.3 million or 1.9% YtD (with the excluded effects from "Project Pine").
- Retail banking in Slovenia ended the nine months of 2016 with profit before tax of EUR 22.1 million (EUR -8.0 million YoY). The result was burdened by negative effects of EUR 10.1 million due to an agreement on the sale of non-performing loans. Net interest income slightly decreased. In net fee and commission income a drop of EUR 5.8 million was recorded, mainly in card operations due to implementation of the EU card directive (MiFID).
- Key/Mid/Small corporates in Slovenia increased their profit before tax by EUR 4 million or 14.8% YoY based on positive loan volume growth of 1% and lower cost of risk.
- Foreign strategic markets continued their positive trend showing a profit of EUR 57.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of EUR 20.6 million or 56% YoY. The contribution to NLB Group result of the foreign banks in SEE thus increased to 55% (from 39% in the third quarter of 2015).
Restructuring and work-out units operated with a loss in amount of EUR 1.1 million including negative effects related to agreement on sale of non-performing loans in the amount of EUR 12.5 million. The segment shows also positive result from successful restructuring and repayments.
Financial markets in Slovenia recorded the profit before tax of EUR 29.3 million in the nine months of 2016 which is EUR 20.3 million lower YoY, largely due to lower interest income in amount of EUR 12.3 million YoY and positive non-recurring effects in 2015 from sales of RS bonds (EUR 5.2 million).
The Non-strategic markets and activities of NLB Group ended nine months of 2016 with a loss of EUR 18.7 million including positive effects of the sale of an equity investment totalling EUR 5.5 million, negative effects of EUR 7.0 million due to an agreement of the sale of non-performing loans and negative results from non-core subsidiaries. Costs were reduced by 16% YoY.
Within Other activities, NLB Group recorded non-recurring positive effects from the transaction of the Visa EU share in the amount of EUR 7.8 million and negative effects from the payments of NLB d.d. to the SRF and DGS in total amount of EUR 8.1 million, which is the main reason for the deviation of the result YoY.
Profit before impairments and provisions

Figure 5: Profit before impairments and provisions of NLB Group – evolution YoY (in EUR million)
Profit before impairments and provisions of NLB Group totalled EUR 143.5 million, i.e. EUR 2.7 million lower YoY. Result in 2016 was positively impacted by non-recurring events from sale of an equity investment in the non-core part of NLB Group totalling EUR 5.5 million and the transaction of the Visa EU share totalling EUR 7.8 million and negatively from restructuring costs of EUR 2.9 million. Additionally the result before impairments and provisions was negatively impacted by lower interest income due to an agreement on the sale of non-performing loans (EUR 4.1 million) and payments of NLB d.d. to the SRF and DGS (EUR 8.1 million). Recurring costs were lower for EUR 3.4 million. By excluding non-recurring effects in 20154 and 2016 the result before impairments and provisions YoY decreased by 14% on the basis of lower net operating income (-7%) and a lower cost base (-2%). The drop in normalised operating income was mainly the result of decreasing yields on the securities portfolio, maturing of EUR 300 million of the BAMC bond (yield of 4.5%) and high level of excess liquidity recorded in segment Financial markets in Slovenia.
Net interest income

Figure 6: Net interest income of NLB Group (in EUR million)
4 Non-recurring events in 2015 were: negative effects from the CHF exchange rate and change of the deductible portion of VAT which was partly compensated by the positive effects of the sale of bonds of the Republic of Slovenia. A negative effect from restructuring costs amounted to EUR 1.4 million.
Net interest income of NLB Group accounted for 67% of the total net revenues of NLB Group or EUR 238.8 million in the nine months of 2016 and decreased by 6% YoY mostly due to decreasing yields on the securities portfolio, maturity of high yield BAMC bond, high level of excess liquidity recorded in segment Financial markets in Slovenia and lower net interest income due to an agreement of the sale of a package of non-performing loans.
Net interest margin (NIM) decreased from 2.67% to 2.59% YoY. Margin improvements from 3.55% to 3.98% of core banks in SEE markets partially off-set a decline in margins in Slovenia from 2.35% to 2.04% YoY. Excluding the effect of lower interests in the amount of EUR 4.1 million related to the sale of a package of non-performing loans, the interest margin in NLB Group was 2.64%.



Net interest income – segment results
Key business activities increased net interest income by EUR 3.4 million or 1.9% YoY.
- Retail banking in Slovenia slightly decreased net interest income of EUR 3.2 million or 5.6%. This includes negative effects of EUR 2.0 million due to agreement of sale of non-performing loans.
- Net interest income in Key/Mid/Small corporates in Slovenia dropped by EUR 3.2 million or 10% YoY on slightly higher loan volumes (+1.3% YtD) due to intense competition and the low interest environment.
In Foreign strategic markets, net interest income rose by EUR 9.8 million or 11% due to interest margins in the SEE region increasing by 0.42 of a percentage point YoY and the volume of loans increasing by 4% YtD.
Net interest income of the Restructuring and work-out units was affected by lower interest due to a sale of non-performing loans in the amount of EUR 2.0 million.
Net interest income in Financial markets in Slovenia decreased by EUR 12.3 million or 26% YoY due to decreasing yields in the securities portfolio, maturing of EUR 300 million of the BAMC bond (4.5% yield) and lower net interest income resulting from the high level of excess liquidity.
Net non-interest income

Figure 9: Net non-interest income of NLB Group (in EUR million)
Net non-interest income of NLB Group amounted to EUR 118.8 million, namely EUR 8.7 million or 8% higher YoY, due to the non-recurring proceeds from the sale of a non-core investment and the transaction of the Visa EU share. The most important and most stable source of net non-interest income are recurring Net fees and commissions, which amounted to EUR 107.2 million, namely EUR 2.3 million YoY lower. The strongest drop compared to the year before arose from card operations, mostly affected by implementation of the EU card directive (MiFID).
Net non-interest income – segment results


In Retail banking in Slovenia net non-interest income decreased by EUR 5.1 million or 9% with a drop in card operations (EUR 4.8 million), mainly due to implementation of EU card directive (MiFID). Net non-interest income in Key/Mid/Small corporates in Slovenia amounted to EUR 21.5 million in the nine months of 2016, which is EUR 1.8 million or 9% higher YoY. Net non-interest income in Financial markets in Slovenia is lower by EUR 8.1 million YoY, mainly, as the 2015 result included the profits from non-recurring event of selling RS bonds (EUR 5.2 million). The largest increase in this segment relates to advisory services for consortium of banks in relation to the sale of an equity investment in amount of EUR 0.6 million. Non-strategic markets and activities recorded a profit in amount of EUR 7.1 million resulting from non-recurring event in 2016 from the sale of equity investment in non-core part of NLB Group in amount of EUR 5.5 million, whereas 2015 result included a loss from a non-recurring event incurred upon the sudden change in the Swiss franc exchange rate. Other activities recorded a profit in amount of EUR 6.6 million from transaction of Visa EU share (EUR 7.8 million).
Total costs

Figure 11: Total costs of NLB Group – evolution YoY (in EUR million)
Total costs amounted to EUR 214.2 million (of which EUR 2.9 million were non-recurring costs of restructuring) and were 1% lower YoY. The small increase in overall employee costs was compensated by reduced general and administrative costs and depreciation costs. Employee costs increased due to the results of the suspension of restructuring measures, while the headcount continues to decrease. Restructuring costs were 26% or EUR 0.7 million higher YoY due to costs related to the privatization.
Cost/income ratio increased by 0.2 of a percentage point to 59.9%.
Net impairments and provisions
Net impairments and provisions amounted to EUR 37.5 million in the nine months of 2016 compared to EUR 60.9 million YoY. The net cost of risk decreased from 87 basis points to 43 basis points due to the continued improvement in the quality of the portfolio and the improved economic conditions in Slovenia despite the additional impairments related to the sale of non-performing loans ("Project Pine") in amount of EUR 25.5 million.

Assets

Figure 12: Total assets of NLB Group – Structure (in EUR million)
Figure 13: Gross loans to customers by core segment (in EUR million)

Gross loans in key business activities increased by EUR 61.9 million or 1% YtD (with excluding effects from "Project Pine" increased by EUR 118.3 million) mainly as the result of increase in gross loans in Foreign strategic markets by EUR 88.6 million or 4% YtD. Gross loans to Key/Mid/Small corporates in Slovenia slightly increased. Gross loans to Retail clients in Slovenia decreased by EUR 30 million mainly due to sale of non-performing loans ("Project Pine"). Without this effect retail loans increased by EUR 37.1 million.
Liabilities
Total liabilities increased to EUR 10,381.6 million compared to 31 December 2015, mainly due to deposits from customers.
Deposits from customers increased, accounting for 78% of the total funding of NLB Group. Retail segment deposits were 4% higher, corporate remained stable, while government deposits decreased. In June 2016, NLB d.d. introduced a fee on corporate deposits exceeding EUR 3 million.
L/D ratio (net) decreased by 3.0 of a percentage point compared to the end of 2015 as a result of the low demand for loans and the "cash-rich" retail and corporate sector.

Figure 14: Total liabilities of NLB Group – Structure (in EUR million)
Total equity5 increased by EUR 65.7 million to EUR 1,516.1 million as at 30 September 2016. Main differences relate to the inclusion of the nine months result and distribution of dividends to the shareholder.
5 Including non-controlling interests
Capital adequacy


The capital adequacy ratio of NLB Group equalled 16.9%, increasing by 0.7 percentage point in 20166 . Capital of NLB Group consists of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) only, so total capital ratio is the same as CET1 ratio. The main driver of the improvement is a decrease in risk-weighted exposure amounts (RWA) for credit risk, at most in the non-performing loans.
6 Interim results are not included in the calculation of Capital adequacy ratio and CET1 ratio.

The key goal of Risk Management is to comprehensively assess, steer and monitor risks within NLB Group in line with the Group's Risk Appetite Statement and Risk Strategy. Moreover, the Group enhanced its risk management system in order to support the business decision-making process by upgrading the ICAAP, ILAAP, stress testing and steering processes.
One of the key aims of Risk Management is to preserve a prudent level of the Group's capital adequacy. NLB Group monitors its capital adequacy within the established ICAAP process, under both normal conditions (regulatory capital adequacy) and stressed conditions. As at 30 September 2016, NLB Group had a strong level of capital adequacy of 16.9% which is well within the stated risk appetite limit.
The second key aim is to maintain a solid level and structure of liquidity. NLB Group holds a strong liquidity position, which is well above the risk appetite with LCR (according to the Delegated act) of 460% and unencumbered eligible reserves in the amount of EUR 4,888 million. The main funding base of NLB Group predominately entails customer deposits with a conformable level of LTD in the amount of 72.1%, which allows the Group the potential for further customer loan placements.
The constantly improving quality of the credit portfolio represents the third and the still most important key aim, with a focus on the quality of new placements leading to a diversified portfolio of customers. The current structure of gross exposures (on- and off-balance sheet) consists of 33% of retail clients, 20% of large corporate clients, 26% of SME and micro companies, while the remainder of the portfolio entails other liquid assets.

Figure 16: NLB Group structure of gross exposures and advances by segment
Gross exposures include also reserves at Central Banks (EUR 833.7 million) and demand deposits at banks (EUR 235.3 million)
NLB Group is constantly improving its internal rating and scoring models to assure the high quality of newly approved loans, closely following the sustainability of the credit risk volatility and the sustainable development of the subsidiary banking members. Our efforts have so far resulted in minimising the formation of new non-performing loans and the cost of risk up to the third quarter of 2016, also partly related to the positive macroeconomic environment conditions.

Figure 17: Structure of the credit portfolio (gross loans) by client credit ratings (in EUR million)
The restructuring and work-out capacities and approaches built in the past are partly still occupied with the legacy of non-performing loans, although increasingly focused on actively resolving new cases with a faster and more active approach to restructuring and work-out. In addition to the organic reduction of non-performing loans, NLB Group was able to sell off part of the receivables due to investors in two tranches (corporate and retail) in a gross claim amount of approximately EUR 500 million, which resulted in an NPL reduction of EUR 233.3 million. The existing non-performing loan stock in NLB Group was reduced since beginning of 2016 from EUR 1,896 million to EUR 1,391 million as of 30th September 2016, which does not include the potential and restructured exposures in the last year, which hold good potential to be cured in 2016 in a range of EUR 30 to 50 million. The share of non-performing loans was reduced to 14.5%, while NPE percentage by EBA methodology felt to 10.8%.


31.12.2014 31.12.2015 30.9.2016
1The NPL ratio is calculated as gross non-performing loans/total loans. Total loans include 2 The coverage of gross non-performing loans with impairments on all loans balances and obligatory reserves with Central Banks and demand deposits at banks.
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, trading and FX risk is relatively low. The Bank's net interest income sensitivity in the case of a Euribor increase by 50bp would amount to EUR 13.1 million, while in case of decrease exposure would be lower due to zero floor clauses. The net open FX position amounts less than 0.7% of capital.
In the area of operational risks, additional efforts were made with regard to proactive prevention and the minimisation of potential damage in the future.

In June 2016 Visa Inc. completed its acquisition of Visa Europe to create a single global payments business under the Visa brand. In this transaction, NLB Group realised a gain in the amount of EUR 7,753 thousand as a result of the disposal of its investment in Visa Europe shares. This represents the difference between the cost of the Visa Europe shares derecognised and the fair value of the consideration received. The latter comprises the received cash consideration, present value of the deferred cash consideration receivable in year 2019 and fair value of the received 2,246 preferred Visa Inc. Class C shares. At a future date and under certain conditions these shares are convertible into Class A shares.

In April 2016, the Law on the deposit guarantee scheme entered into force in Slovenia, according to which the Bank of Slovenia sets up and operates the deposit guarantee scheme in Slovenia. The target fund level is 0.8% of the sum of all guaranteed deposits in the Republic of Slovenia as at 31.12. of the previous year and until the Fund reaches this level, banks are obliged to pay regular annual contributions. In other banking members of the NLB Group, which operate outside the EU, similar schemes were already in place in previous years. Item "Deposits guarantee" includes also the amount of EUR 359 thousand which relates to NLB d.d.'s payment of guaranteed investors' claims at a brokerage company against which bankruptcy proceedings started.

In October 2016 NLB d.d. received a Minutes on tax audit of corporate income tax for the period from 2009 till 2014. In this respect 0,8 million EUR expenses for income tax were recorded and 39.4 million EUR deferred tax assets for tax losses were reduced. A reduction of deferred tax assets has no impact on statement of financial position, as the bank recognized deferred tax assets based on future profit projections only in the amount that is envisaged to be used in the foreseeable future.

In the 2016 NLB Group recognised EUR 6,361 thousand (NLB d.d.: EUR 6,055 thousand) restructuring provisions. Associated cash flows are expected by the end of year 2017.
The biggest amount within material monetary claims relates to civil claims filed by Privredna banka Zagreb (the PBZ) and Zagrebačka banka (the ZaBa) against NLB d.d., referring to the old savings of savers of the LB Branch Zagreb, which were transferred to Croatian banks in the principal amount of EUR 171,324 thousand. Due to the fact the proceedings have been pending for such a long time, the penalty interest already exceeds the principal amount. As NLB d.d. is not liable for the old foreign currency savings, based on numerous process and content-related reasons, NLB d.d. has all along objected to these claims.
Despite the agreement in Memorandum of Understanding (Memorandum) to stay all the proceedings commenced, in May 2015 the Court of Appeal, the County Court of Zagreb, ruled in one claim to reject the complaints raised by the LB and NLB d.d. NLB d.d. then filed a constitutional appeal against the aforementioned final judgement. In the other cases, in respect of which the court procedures, described above, are pending, final judgments have not yet been issued.
Conversely, in another case, a claim filed by the PBZ became final in favour of NLB d.d.
In the last case on 29 March 2016, the court of second instance allowed the appeal and return the case to the Court of first instance, which initially decided in favour of the ZaBa, (related to payment of EUR 1,468 thousand, USD 9,884 thousand , AUD 1,567 thousand, CAD 2,309 thousand, CHF 18,791 thousand, GBP 328 thousand and JPY 182 thousand with interest and costs of the proceedings). Court of first instance will have to assess whether the Memorandum must be regarded as an international treaty, and whether it has, consequently, take precedence over the internal legislation of the Republic of Croatia, and if so, what was the intention of the parties in concluding the Memorandum.
Provisions for these claims are not formed since NLB d.d. believes there are no legal grounds for them.

5.16. Fair value hierarchy of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. NLB Group uses various valuation techniques to determine fair value. IFRS 13 specifies a fair value hierarchy with respect to the inputs and assumptions used to measure financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions of NLB Group and NLB d.d.. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable market data when available, and the lowest priority to unobservable market data. NLB Group considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The fair value hierarchy comprises the following levels:
- Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets. This level includes listed equities, debt instruments, derivatives, units of investment funds and other unadjusted market prices of assets and liabilities. When an asset or liability may be exchanged on multiple active markets, the principal market for the asset or liability must be determined. In the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability must be determined.
- Level 2 A valuation technique where inputs are observable, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 2 includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities on active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities on markets that are not active. The sources of input parameters for financial instruments, such as yield curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and the volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates, are Reuters and Bloomberg.
- Level 3 A valuation technique where inputs are not based on observable market data. Unobservable inputs are used to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs must reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. This level includes non-tradable shares and bonds and derivatives associated with these investments and other assets and liabilities, for which fair value cannot be determined with observable market inputs.
Where possible, fair value is determined as an observable market price on an active market for an identical asset or liability. An active market is a market on which transactions for an asset or liability are executed with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on active markets are determined as the market price of a unit (e.g. a share) at the measurement date, multiplied by the quantity of units owned by NLB Group. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose market is not active is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques bear a different intensity level of estimates and assumptions, depending on the availability of observable market inputs associated with the asset or liability that is the subject of valuation. Unobservable inputs shall reflect the estimates and assumptions that other market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
For non-financial assets measured at fair value and not classified on Level 1, fair value is determined based on valuation reports provided by certified valuators. Valuations are prepared in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS).

|||||||||

For the nine months ended 30 September 2016 and 30 September 2015, NLB Group and NLB d.d. had no significant transfers of financial instruments between levels of valuation.
c) Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at Level 2 regarding the fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at NLB Group and NLB d.d. include:
- debt securities: bonds not quoted on active markets and valuated by valuation model; - equities;
- derivatives: derivatives except forward derivatives and options on equity instruments that are not quoted on active markets;
- the National Resolution Fund and
- structured deposits.
When valuing bonds classified on Level 2, NLB Group primarily uses the income approach based on an estimation of future cash flows discounted to the present value. The input parameters used in the income approach are the risk-free yield curve and the spread over the yield curve (credit, liquidity, country).
Fair values for derivatives are determined using a discounted cash flow model based on the risk-free yield curve. Fair values for options are determined using valuation models for options (Garman and Kohlhagen model, binomial model and Black-Scholes model).
At least three valuation methods are used for the valuation of investment property. The majority of investment property is valued using the income approach, where the present value of future expected returns is assessed. When valuing an investment property, average rents at similar locations and capitalisation ratios, such as the risk-free yield, risk premium, liquidity premium, risk premium to account for the management of the investment and risk premium to account for capital preservation are used. Rents at similar locations are generated from various sources, like data from lessors and lessees, web databases and own databases. NLB Group has observable data for all investment property at its disposal. If observable data for similar locations are not available, NLB Group uses data from wider locations and appropriately adjusts such data.
Non-current assets held for sale represent property, plant and equipment that are measured at fair value less costs to sell, because this is lower than the previous carrying amount of those assets.
d) Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments on Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in NLB Group and NLB d.d. include:
- debt securities: structured debt securities from inactive emerging markets;
- equities: corporate and financial equities that are not quoted on active markets; and - derivative financial instruments: forward derivatives and options on equity instruments that are not quoted on an active organised market. Fair values for forward derivatives are determined using the discounted cash flow model. Fair values for equity options are determined using valuation models for options (Garman and Kohlhagen model, binomial model and Black-Scholes model). Unobservable inputs include the fair values of underlying instruments determined using valuation models. The source of observable market inputs is the Reuters information system.
NLB Group uses three valuation methods for the valuation of equity financial assets: the income approach, market approach and cost approach.
The most commonly used valuation technique is the income approach. The income approach is based on an estimation of future cash flows discounted to the present value. One of the key elements of the valuation is the projection of the cash flows that the company is able to generate in the future. Based on that, the projection of the future cash flow is generated. The key variables that affect the amount of cash flows, and thus the estimated fair value of the financial asset, also include an assumption regarding the long-term EBITDA margin. A discount rate that is appropriate for the risks associated with the realisation of these benefits is used to discount cash flows. The discount rate is determined as the weighted average cost of capital. A forecast of future cash flows and a calculation of the weighted average cost of capital is prepared for an accurate forecasting period (usually 10 years from the date of the prediction value), and for a period following the period of accurate forecasting. Assumptions of long-term stable growth in the amount of 2.5% are used for the period following the period of accurate forecasting. NLB Group can select values of unobservable input data within a reasonable possible range, but uses those input data that other market participants would use.

Loans and advances to banks
The estimated fair value of deposits is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market interest rates for debts with similar credit risk and residual maturities. The fair value of overnight deposits equals their carrying value.
Loans and advances to customers
Loans and advances are net of the allowance for impairment. The estimated fair value of loans and advances represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received. Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates for debts with similar credit risk and residual maturities to determine their fair value.
Deposits and borrowings
The fair value of sight deposits and overnight deposits equals to their carrying value. However, their actual value for the NLB Group depends on the timing and amounts of cash flows, current market rates and the credit risk of the depository institution itself. A portion of sight deposits is stable, similar to term deposits. Therefore, their economic value for the NLB Group differs from the carrying amount.
The estimated fair value of other deposits and borrowings from customers is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for new deposits with similar residual maturities.
Held-to-maturity financial assets and issued debt securities
The fair value of held-to-maturity financial assets and issued debt securities is based on their quoted market price or value calculated by using a discounted cash flow method and prevailing money market interest rates.
Loan commitments
For credit facilities that are drawn soon after the NLB Group grants loans (drawn at market rates) and loan commitments to those clients that are not impaired, the fair value is close to zero. For loan commitments to clients that are impaired, the fair value represents the amount of the created provisions.
Other financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of other financial assets and liabilities is a reasonable approximation of their fair value as they mainly relate to short-term receivables and payables.
