Business Performance

Net interest income & net interest margin

Tactical balance sheet measures/deposit inflows burdening NIM; gross loan revenues stable/slightly rising YtD

Net interest income totalled EUR 150.1 million and decreased by EUR 9.0 million or 6% YoY, due to lower interest income, mostly related to the sale of debt securities in the Bank, higher volume of cash and balances with the central bank and continued pressure on interest margins on loan portfolio in the Bank and banking subsidiaries in SEE region. Higher interest expenses are related to the new subordinated Tier 2 instruments raised by the Bank to optimize the capital structure. Interest expenses for customer deposits were decreasing. On QoQ basis lower interest income also due to decrease in customer loans and overdrafts.

Consequently substantial decrease in interest margin.

Net fee and commission income growing YoY (Group, EURm)

Net non-interest income reached EUR 109.9 million and increased by EUR 9.9 million or 10% YoY. The YoY dynamic was influenced by the following factors:

• Net fee and commission income lower by EUR 0.8 million (1%) YoY, mostly related to COVID-19 outbreak and its negative impact on payment transactions and card operations (lower consumption by clients). June results are already normalizing to pre COVID-19 income.

• Non-recurring net income from financial transactions was affected by the sale of debt securities in the Bank as a consequence of perceived higher risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the volatility of prices on various markets has increased, the Group sold debt securities with increased credit spreads as part of its strategy to manage the credit risk, in the amount of EUR 209.1 million measured as FV OCI (fair value through other comprehensive income) and EUR 120.1 million measured at AC (amortised cost). Total realised gains amounted to EUR 17.2 million (EUR 4.5 million from FV OCI and EUR 12.7 million from AC portfolio). In 2019, the Group made a non-recurring net income by partial repayment of a large exposure measured at fair value through profit and loss (EUR 5.1 million) and revaluation of a non-core equity stake (EUR 6.3 million, sold in Q4 2019).

• Non-recurring net other income affected by the sale of NLB Vita with a positive effect of EUR 11.0 million on the Group level (EUR 35.5 million on the level of the Bank).

Total costs – NLB Group

Cost discipline strong focus with further branch closures implemented and some Covid-19 related cost stabilisers put in place

Other general and administrative expenses

  • Total costs amounted to EUR 144.8 million, and are thus by EUR 1.7 million or 1% higher YoY, mostly due to higher employee costs. QoQ decrease of employee costs related to COVID-19 outbreak measures taken expected to be valid by the end of 2020. The Group is undertaking several strategic initiatives (channel strategy, digitalization, paperless, lean process, branch network optimization…) to maintain the sustainable cost base going forward.
  • CIR stood at 55.7%.
  • Headcount dropped by 19% over 2012-June 2020 driven primarily by Slovenia core & non-core members.
  • Ongoing closures of unprofitable branches.

In H1 2020, the Group established EUR 33.2 million of net impairments and provisions, of which EUR 32.8 million for credit risk (cost of risk 85 bps). EUR 20.0 million were established due to changed risk parameters that incorporate estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak.

Gross loan growth in all foreign banks, especially in NLB Banka, Beograd and NLB Banka, Podgorica. NLB d.d. recorded slight drop due to COVID-19 outbreak and regulatory restrictions on consumer lending causing lower new production of loans to individuals.

Gross loans to individuals in subsidiary banks grew by 3.4% and to corporate by 4.6% YtD.

Deposits from customers by strategic member – contribution (EURm)

Deposit increased overall in the Group, despite low interest rate environment. Decrease was recorded in NLB Banka, Podgorica and NLB Banka, Sarajevo.

NLB d.d. charges minimum 0.03% monthly fee on deposits volume (threshold from January 2019 at EUR 100k) to corporate deposits and account balances.

Capital evolution

Strong capital position – capital position strengthened substantially with 2019 profit retention, minorities inclusion, Tier2 and RWA measures

Capital position (Group, EURm)

  • At the end of June 2020, the Total capital ratio for NLB Group stood at 20.5% (or 4.2 p.p. higher YtD), presenting a strong base to cover all regulatory capital requirements, also in the aggravated circumstances during COVID-19 pandemic
  • The higher total capital adequacy derives from higher capital (EUR 407 million for NLB Group) mainly due to inclusion of all T2 instruments in capital (EUR 240 million) and additional inclusion of 2019 undistributed profit (EUR 157 million).

  • RWA for credit risk increased by EUR 66.9 million YtD, mainly as a result of new loan production on the corporate and retail segment. In 2020, Serbia was added to the list of third countries whose supervisory and regulatory requirements are considered equivalent to those of the EEA countries, which reduced RWA for exposures to the Serbian central government and central bank denominated in local currency by EUR 100.3 million. Furthermore, the higher volume of provisions formed on the performing portfolio due to the worse macro forecasts related to COVID-19 further contributed to the RWA decrease.
  • The RWA increase for market risks and CVA (EUR 36.8 million) is mainly the result of more open positions in domestic currencies of non-euro subsidiary banks.
  • The increase in the RWA for operational risks (EUR 12.6 million) arose from the higher three-year average of relevant income, which represents the basis for the calculation.

Capital requirements - NLB Group

Strong capital position

Total Capital Requirement (TCR) vs. Capital Position

  • Capital position well above all regulatory requirements including P2G.
  • Current management target stands at 15.75%. Current TCR 475bps above management target.
  • As from 1 January 2020, Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) is lowered by 0.5 p.p. to 2.75% as a result of better overall SREP assessment.
  • Substantial buffers to target ratios in anticipation of KB integration with approx. net increment of EUR 3,5bn RWA (or approx. 550bps CAR).
  • ECB has effectively, as of 12 March 2020, amended the applicable decision for NLB in relation to the P2R composition, whereas P2R shall be held in the form of 56.25% of CET1 capital and 75% of Tier 1 capital as a minimum, and not entirely as CET1 capital as required in previous years.
  • * • BoS/ECB restriction on dividend distribution due to COVID-19 pandemic

• On NLB Group level EUR 1,694 million moratorium approved so far, 51% to Non-financial corporations and 49% to Households

  • The amount represents 15.6% of total gross book.
  • In accordance with the Intervention Measure Act on Deferred Payments of Borrowers' Obligations (ZIUOPOK) in Slovenia, by the end of H1 2020 the Bank granted COVID-19 moratoriums in the total amount EUR 417.5 million, of which EUR 306.8 million to its corporate clients and EUR 110.6 million to its retail clients.
  • Moratoriums are granted for the period between 3 to 12 months, subject to applicable government measure. Based on that banks in Strategic Foreign Markets have approved EUR 1,276.1 million of moratoriums, of which EUR 246.5 million expired by the end of H1 2020.
  • Apart from moratoriums, the Group is also providing additional liquidity by granting new loans to help with the specific situation due to COVID-19 crisis. The volume of such loans was EUR 31 million in the Bank and close to EUR 4 million in other banking members of the Group. In addition the new COVID-19 loans subject to public guarantee schemes were granted in the amount of EUR 31 million by NLB Banka, Beograd. The legislation in Slovenia was finalized recently and is therefore expected to see effects in 2H2020, while in Serbia the volume of such loans is increasing as the government is granting new tranches.
  • Intra-moratorium IFRS9 stage migration: individual review of corporates as well as expert-opinion-based portfolio assessment for retail expected to lead to S1/S2 migration and contribute to provision increase in 2H2020. In 1Q2020 weaker macroeconomic assumptions were incorporated into IFRS9 provision calculation, which contributed to one-off increase of pool provisions in this period.

Diversified credit portfolio, focused on core markets and cautious risk taking

Credit portfolio(1) by currency and rate type (Group, 30 Jun 2020)

NPLs fully covered by provisions and collateral

Top 20 NPLs (Group, 30 Jun 2020)

NPL by geography (Group, 30 Jun 2020) NPL cash coverage(1) (Group, %)

An important Group strength is the NPL cash coverage (CR1), which remains high at 90%. Further, the Group's NPL coverage ratio 2 stands at 63 %, which is well above the EU average as published by the EBA.

As such, it enables a further reduction in NPLs without any material losses.

New NPL formation very low, successfull legacy resolution

Low NPL in Retail segment throughout the economic cycle.

In Corporate segment a considerable reduction of NPL is observed in industries with the highest NPL %.

Top 10 NPL represent 31% of the entire NPL volume; the coverage with provisions remains high, limiting the potential losses.

NPL ratio decreased from 3.8% to 3.7% YtD, while NPE ratio also reduced by 0.1 p.p. YtD to 2.6%.

Note: NPL was defined until December 2014 as loan exposure to D and E clients/claims and delays over 90 days from loans to A, B and C classified clients. Since customers with loans (in arrears over) with 90 days past due should be classified in nonperforming grade (D or E), NPL definition changed and from 31.12.2014 include only D and E exposures; NPLs, NPL ratio and NPL cash coverage based on Credit portfolio; (1) Refers to corporate loans issued since 2014 and retail loans issued since 2015.

High % of Stage 1 Loan portfolio (Valued at amortized cost & FVTPL)

Stage 1 loans represent 92% of loan portfolio valued at amortized cost and fair value through P&L. Due to portfolio growth as well as NPL reduction Strategy the share of Stage 3 loans is decreasing. Limited volume of Stage 2 loans.

Outlook

Covid-19: Macro & business outlook

year, while Slovenia can experience a contraction of
5.7%. The economic growth in the Group's region could drop
to around -4.9% this year.
Macro outlook &
risk factors
affecting the
business outlook

Economic
momentum in the region has worsened due to COVID-19 pandemic (since
end
of
Q1 2020).
Countries
in
the region implemented different mitigation measures, with the aim of mitigating adverse negative impacts of the
pandemic. Substantial drop in the economic activity, lower industrial production and consumer spending is
expected to cause an economic slowdown and increased unemployment in the region.

Based on the measures taken by the governments in Slovenia and other countries, the Group is granting an option
of moratoriums on payment of obligations to all eligible borrowers due to COVID-19, which will not be treated as a
trigger for significant increase of the credit risk. Nevertheless, all clients requiring the moratorium will be closely
monitored as their financial situation and identification of credit deterioration will lead to downgrade and impact the
IFRS 9 staging.

Risk
factors
affecting
the
business outlook
are (among
others): the
economies' sensitivity to a potential slowdown
in the Euro area or globally, credit spreads widening, potential liquidity outflows, worsened interest rate outlook,
regulatory and tax measures impacting the banks, and other geopolitical uncertainties.

The overall slow-down of the economy is expected to have a negative impact on new loan generation and
consequently lower net interest income than previously expected. Margins
are expected to be under further
pressure. Additional
pressure on interest income in retail market in Slovenia is expected due to regulatory
restrictions for consumer lending put in place by the end of 2019.
A negative effect is expected also on fees and
commissions because
of lower volumes of payment and card operations and bancassurance products.
Business outlook
Due to slower business operations linked to moratoriums and the crisis, some of the activities of the Group are
expected to be cancelled or postponed
which is expected to result in lower
costs. On the other hand, costs related to
protection of health -
hygiene, safety products and transportation, resulting from the current situation are expected to
increase.

Due to the impact of worsened macroeconomic environment in H1 2020,
the Group made one-off adjustment of
expected credit losses in accordance with new macro forecasts, consequently resulting in an increase of cost of risk.
The cost of risk for 2020 is under current knowledge and anticipated consequences expected to be in a range up
to 150 bps, although this will depend on the length and severity of disruption in corporate operations and consumer
spending.

Due to recent ECB measures taken, NLB Group is expecting to benefit from the lower
capital requirements, while
due to ECB recommendation
on dividend distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic towards European banks, the
dividend distributions by the Bank are not envisaged in 2020.

• We expect that the Euro area, with an already weak economic growth in 2019, could contract by around 7.5% this

(i) Cost of risk for 2019 is adjusted to new methodology.

  • The segment's profit before tax amounted to EUR 25.4 million, a 2% increase YoY; increase mostly related to the sale of NLB Vita (EUR 11.0 million), while the decrease is due to credit impairments and provisions built as a result of the changed risk parameters that incorporate estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak , lower net interest income, lower revenues from payments and card operations, and lower contribution from NLB Skladi and NLB Vita(1) .
  • Net interest income was 6% lower YoY. Due to over liquidity of the Bank, the policy to de-stimulate the deposit collection triggered the retail deposits margin after transfer price (FTP) reduction, which resulted in EUR 4.7 million YoY lower interest income from deposits. Interest income from loans to individuals was EUR 2.2 million higher YoY due to higher volume and higher interest margin. In H1 2020 COVID-19 outbreak negatively affected new production of loans to individuals, as well as change of legislation that tightened the measures in consumer lending (at the end of 2019). The production of new consumer loans in H1 2020 was therefore lower than in the same period of the previous year and amounted to EUR 86.3 million (EUR 198.8 million in H1 2019). The YtD decline in balance of consumer loans (EUR 26.8 million) is largely due to lower production of new consumer loans, especially in March and April, while the last two months have seen a recovery. Larger decrease was recorded also in the portfolio of overdrafts and cards (EUR 52 million YtD); the EUR 25.2 million decline in June is partially related to social transfers (COVID-19 measures) and payment holiday. Housing loans recorded an increase in the portfolio (EUR 25.6 million and EUR 60.5 million YoY), of which EUR 15.2 million in Q2, also as a result of a more attractive offer for clients.
  • The segment recorded EUR 45.1 million of net non-interest income, EUR 9.9 million (28%) increase YoY, due to the sale of NLB Vita.
  • Total costs were EUR 1.0 million (2%) higher YoY.
  • Net impairments and provisions were established in the amount of EUR 5.6 million related mostly to additional credit impairments and provisions, due to changed risk parameters that incorporate estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak.
  • Deposits from customers increased by EUR 796.2 million or 13% YoY (EUR 549.6 million or 9% YtD).
  • Exposures subject to moratorium amounted to EUR 110.6 million (4.6% of total retail exposure).

• The segment's profit before tax amounted to EUR 8.9 million, EUR 17.4 million decrease YoY. The decrease is mostly due to establishment of credit impairments and provisions related to changed risk parameters that incorporate estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak and lower non-interest income due to a positive one-off effect of partial repayment of a larger exposure measured at fair value through profit and loss in Q1 2019.

  • Net interest income decreased EUR 1.8 million YoY, due to lower interest rates on loans, despite the EUR 58.2 million increase in gross loans to customers YoY (EUR 17.3 million YtD). Key and SME clients recorded a growth in gross loans (EUR 175.6 million), while gross loans in Restructuring and Workout and gross loans to state recorded a decrease YoY (EUR 93.3 million and EUR 25.0 million, respectively). YtD increase in corporate loans is partially linked to the COVID-19 situation (additional demand for the daily liquidity in the beginning of the outbreak, which was already partially reversed in Q2 2020). New COVID-19 related financing to companies was recorded in the amount of EUR 30.8 million (without public guarantee schemes, as legislation is still in the finalization phase).
  • Net fee and commission income stayed on the same level YoY.

  • Net impairments and provisions were established in the amount of EUR 9.3 million related mostly to additional credit impairments and provisions, due to changed risk parameters that incorporate estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak.
  • The Investment Banking and Custody recorded non-interest income in the amount of EUR 2.1 million, an increased of EUR 0.4 million YoY. Total income growth is the result of a larger volume of transactions and tariff adjustments. The total value of assets under custody increased to EUR 15.5 billion (2019 YE: EUR 14.8 billion).
  • Exposures subject to moratorium amounted to EUR 306.8 million (17.0% of total corporate exposure)

  • Net interest income was EUR 4.6 million (29%) lower YoY, due to the maturities and sale of high yielding securities which also resulted in lower balance of the banking book securities portfolio (around EUR 200 million YoY). The sale of securities was a consequence of perceived higher risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Higher net non-interest income, EUR 13.9 million YoY, mainly due to the sale of high yielding securities in order to lower the high exposure toward some issuers or reduce the high risk exposures. Total P&L effect from securities sold amounted to EUR 17.2 million (EUR 4.5 million EUR from FV OCI and EUR 12.7 million from AC portfolio). At the time of sale, the book value of divested securities from FV OCI and AC portfolios was EUR 209.1 million and EUR 120.1 million, respectively.
  • In H1 2020, the revaluation of FV OCI securities portfolio decreased by EUR 14.3 millon.
  • Increase in balances with central banks (EUR 1,470.7 million YoY and EUR 946.8 million YtD), while Banking book securities decreased substantially YtD (EUR 319.6 million). Change in the position reflects the growth of deposits from individuals as the consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak (around EUR 500 million YtD) and the proceeds of the securities' sale in 2020 were placed with the ECB (around EUR 300 million).

Financial markets in Slovenia Strong liquidity position

Well positioned and funded division

  • Strong liquidity buffer provides solid base for future core growth consisting of liquid assets which are not encumbered for operational or regulatory purposes
  • Banking book securities portfolio is well diversified in terms of asset class and geography to minimize concentration risk, and is invested predominantly in high quality issuers on prudent tenors
  • Liquidity ratios (as of 30 Jun 2020): LCR 351% (NLB d.d.) and 297% (NLB Group); NSFR (preliminary) 173% (NLB d.d.) and 167% (NLB Group)

The volume of ECB eligible credit claims increased due to the modification in ECB eligibility criterion adopted on 10 May 2019 in ECB Guideline (EU) 2019/1032.

Real GDP growth, %

KEY FINDINGS:

Highest contraction of economic growth in 2020 is expected in Montenegro (-6.7%) due to highly affected tourism sector, followed by Kosovo (-6.3%) and Slovenia (-5.7%).

Unemployment rate, %

KEY FINDINGS:

Due to the COVID-19 shock, the unemployment is expected to increase all around the world, with no exemptions regarding the Group's region.

If countries are successful in dealing with the recurrences of COVID-19 outbreaks and alleviate the economic damage, unemployment rate could start to diminish gradually in 2021, with the projected rebound in economic growth. Measures focused on jobs retention bode well for labour market.
