Executive Summary

Financial results as of September 30, 2020 (9 months) show a net profit of RON 5.98 Million, increasing by 2% compared to the same period of 2019. This financial performance occurred during an unforeseen pandemic environment in which the predictability was very low and the volatility of macroeconomic conditions was high.

Compared to the previous year, when the Bank reported a net annual profit of RON 5.3 million (12 months), there is an improvement in financial results for 9 months of 2020 - profit of RON 5.98 Million, even if the health crisis brought negative effects on the banking system.

The consolidation of the profitability level represents the cumulation of the strategic decisions that the Bank has implemented, materialized in the following financial benchmarks reached in 2020:

  • New loans granted in excess of RON 603 Million during 2020 (at a faster pace than the banking system average), which led to an increase in the portfolio of performing loans by 13%, or RON +194 Million compared to December 2019
  • Improving the bank's balance sheet structure by increasing the share of net loans in total assets to 55% from 50% in December 2019
  • Optimization and reduction of operational expenses by 13%, or RON -14.3 Million (first nine months of 2020 compared to the similar period of 2019)
  • The cumulative net result as at Q3 2020 was impacted by certain market evolutions and by customer behavior as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic context triggered in March 2020. Thus, the reported net profit incorporates non-recurring elements and the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic amounting to RON - 7.8 Million; without these extraordinary elements, the cumulative net result as at Q3 2020 would have been a net profit of RON 13.8 Million.

Following the analysis of financial results, the management considers Patria Bank S.A. has already been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the effects can be mitigated by measures taken by the Bank, financial markets evolutions or by economic recovery measures initiated by the Government. The current context can bring negative effects especially in terms of the potential level of cost of risk, but it can also generate business and development opportunities through accelerated attraction of new customers.

The Bank has absorbed the negative impact of the first 3 quarters, all prudential ratios are above the regulated limits even without the recent change in capital amortization requirements, the Bank having resources to support its business.

2.1 Macroeconomic and banking environment aspects

Romania's Gross Domestic Product registered a significant decrease in the first two quarters of the current year, real GDP reaching the level of -10.3% (year-on-year) due to the COVID-19 crisis that marked the year. The effects for the whole year 2020 do not look promising in the context of a negative influence of the second intense pandemic wave compared to initial expectations. However, a "V"-shaped recovery of the economy is still possible, with a rather significant increase in GDP in 2021, by 4% in real terms.

At the same time, it is important to mention the budget deficit for this year, a deficit that is likely to reach the target of 9.5% of GDP, which is understandable taking into account the significant health costs generated by the above-mentioned pandemic. The costs of measures to boost the economy are added to these medical costs.

Furthermore, as a result of significant expenses registered in the current year, the year 2021 (being also a postelection year) should be the year necessary for a fiscal consolidation, this meaning - probably - a firm control of costs

However, for the current year, as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, the CPI trend has changed, a decrease in the inflation rate being recorded, decrease that will probably be maintained in the next year. For example, in September 2020 it stands at 2.45% (annualized data), a significant decrease compared to the same period of last year. In fact, the National Bank of Romania has modified the forecast for 2020 which is now 2.70%; for 2021 the forecast is adjusted downwards, more precisely to the level of 2.50%. In the context of a new pandemic wave, we expect the NBR's forecast for inflation for the coming years to change in the coming weeks.

From the monetary policy point of view, the National Bank of Romania has constantly reduced the reference interest rate since the beginning of the year to the current level of 1.50%, with a special emphasis on liquidity control through acquisitions of Government bonds on the secondary market or bilateral operations with commercial banks. For the next period (until the end of the current year) we expect the NBR to reduce either the level of the Mandatory Minimum Reserves (RMO) denomnated in RON, or to create of an asymmetric corridor for the intervention interest rates (credit facility, respectively deposit facility).

The banking sector still remains healthy. Solvency and liquidity framed within appropriate parameters, simultaneously with the improvement of the quality of assets (the non-performing loan rate according to the EBA definition decreased from 4.58% in September 2019 to 4.08% in December 2019 and increased slightly to 4.38% in June 2020).

The liquidity of the banking system is still good, although there are periods when it is limited due to natural gaps determined by the unpredictability of cash flow at the level of central authorities. We believe that this will increase as the end of the year approaches with significant fluctuations in the evolution of the cost of money.

The quality of banking assets is still high, and the degree of coverage with provisions has improved and remains adequate. We believe, however, that the end of the year will show a sharp increase in provisions as a precaution, the banks thus wanting to protect themselves from an unfavorable evolution of banking assets in the first two quarters of the next year.

The profitability of the banking sector is significantly above the EU average. Return on Equity was 11.19% in December 2019, one of the highest in the EU; this rate decreased to 9.32% in June 2020. The main reason for this profitability is the continued reduction of net expenses with adjustments for expected losses due to the maintenance of a robust lending rate.

Market trends

Given the economic uncertainty generated by the spread of the COVID-19 infection and other related potential negative effects, as well as the increase in the twin deficits, the exchange rate of the national currency against the European currency Euro will approach the level of 4.90, with a fairly high probability that next year we will reach an exchange rate level of RON 5.00 / EUR 1.

Regarding the evolution of medium and long-term interest rates, we expect them to decrease further taking into account the existing "premium" compared to the countries holding the same country rating as Romania. We also do not rule out the possibility for NBR to adopt measures to reduce interest rates in the corridor of monetary policy instruments, which will lead to a decrease in interest rates on the short and medium term curve.

2.2 Commercial and operational aspects

On the commercial level, the Bank continued its efforts in three main areas in Q3 2020:

    1. Supporting customers affected by the COVID crisis
    1. Accelerate the lending process following the exit from the lockdown, including by significantly increasing the number of new customers in the portfolio, in an adequate risk environment
    1. Continuous and permanent provision of banking services to customers:
  • both through the permanent operation of the branches and the ATM network,
  • as well as by developing remote operating channels.

The Bank has permanently maintained contacts with customers (individuals and companies) who have benefited from deferred payments, both through Patria Bank's own solution and through GEO37, in order to verify, in each case, the evolution of cash flows, payment capacity, probabilities of repayment following expiration of the deferral period, additional needs that may arise, a.o.

Thus, commercially, Patria Bank focused on continuing to implement a series of appropriate measures to protect employees and customers and to proactively support customers while ensuring business continuity and mitigating the financial impact on the Bank, in an adequate risk environment.

In the third quarter Patria Bank continued its efforts to develop its customer portfolio and increase the volume of loans granted, accomplishing growth at a faster pace than the banking system. Thus, the market share of loans granted to individuals at September 30, 2020 increased by 10% compared to the level recorded at the end of 2019, while the market share of loans granted to companies increased by 7% from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

Growth directions targeted all customer segments of the Bank, the loan balance increasing both in the case of individuals as well as that of the three main segments of legal entities (MICRO, AGRO and IMM & Corporate)

Credit balance evolution September 2020 compared to December 2019

Balance evolution Sept-20 vs Dec-19
Patria Bank Banking system
Credit to individuals 14.83% 3.87%
Credit to companies 10.69% 3.92%

The growth in lending activity was based on both the Bank's usual products and the new programs launched in 2020: IMM Invest and the new partnership with the European Investment Fund (which increased the guarantee limit by RON 300 Million, from RON 190 to 490 Million, under ensuring an increased guarantee of up to 90% until March 2021).

The Bank benefited from a limit within the IMM Invest program that was increased up to RON 280 Million. Of the total IMM Invest loans granted, 52% represent financing granted to existing customers (69% in client numbers, 52% in value) and 48% loans granted to new customers (31% in numbers, 48% in value).

In the Agriculture area, in addition to regular financing (working capital, APIA, EU funds loans, investment loans for land acquisition, equipment, a.o.), the Bank intensively promoted financing aimed at developing irrigation capacity of agricultural producers in 2020.

Patria Bank has focused on accelerating digitization and financial education programs:

  • Development of the Bank's Internet & Mobile Platform, Patria Online, with new digital options for the clients in their transactional relationship with the Bank
  • Patria Online registered, at 30.09.2020, an increase of over 90% in the number of users compared to the date of customer migration to the new platform implemented in the last part of 2019 (September 2019)
  • Over 421,000 communications by SMS and 94,000 communications by e-mail towards the Bank's clients in order to stimulate digital interaction with Patria Bank as much as possible
  • Launch of new Retail current account packages with an important digital component in their structure and with optimized costs for customers
  • Equipping the Bank's clients with approx. 26,000 products that facilitate remote trading / information to stimulate remote transactional interaction (Internet & Mobile Banking Service, SMS Alert Service, Transactional Cards and Packages)
  • Acceleration of digitization projects: biometric authentication for card payments, instant payment, Online Onboarding, Online Customer Lending, Multi-Functional Machines Program (equipping of branches with multifunctional machines as well as establishment of self- areas service on offices that will be included in the program)
  • Development of the Patria Bank Blog with additional financial education components for clients and potential clients.

The quarterly evolution of gross income from interest, commissions and FX, broken down into business segments, is presented below (RON Thousand):

We notice a decrease in interest income in Q1 and Q2 2020, followed by an increase during Q3. The decreasing trend was mainly due to the ROBOR interest index which decreased by almost 107 pp in 2020. Patria Bank felt an impact amounting to RON 4.6 Million, considering the structure of the loan portfolio, which is mainly in RON with variable interest.

The monthly evolution of net income broken down on business segments in presented below:

Operationally, the Bank continued the processes of optimization, development of remote interaction processes with customers and digitization, considering the objectives set in the 2020 Business plan and Budget. The main investments in the Bank's development activity with impact on the Business area are the following:

  • Internet & Mobile Banking Platform, with new functionalities for corporate clients, in line with the European standards in the field of personal data security and which responds to the new PSDII payment directive; Inclusion of additional facilities for Payments Packages and Standing Orders
  • Transactional Packages for individuals (Patria Star, Patria Pensionar, Patria Avantaj and Patria Premium) - review and launch of current account packages adapted to market conditions in order to attract new customers who want to run their income through Patria Bank accounts and obtain additional benefits by purchasing these packages (e.g. reduction of overdraft margin, cash back for debit card transactions etc.).
  • OVERDRAFT relaunch improving this product for competitiveness on the market in terms of functionality including salary collection into Patria Bank accounts
  • Credit products with real estate guarantee: Multiple Destination and Fixed Interest Loan for 5 years extension of loan products from the Bank's portfolio in order to increase profitability, improve portfolio performance and maintain market competitiveness
  • e-Seizures as a result of the collaboration between ANAF and ARB, a general protocol and an individual framework convention were drawn up following which the relationship between the Bank and ANAF will take place in a digital framework in for seizure management.

  • Total Assets amounting to RON 3,267 Million show an increase (2%) compared to the end of 2019, simultaneously with a change in the Bank's balance sheet structure: increase in net loans of RON +198 Million, +12%, and reduction in liquid assets by RON 119 Million, the liquidity surplus being placed in loans (assets with the best return for the Bank)
  • The loan portfolio (in net value) registered an increase of 10%, +RON 159 Million, compared to September 2019, and an increase of 12%, RON +198 Million, compared to December 31, 2019; in terms of structure, the performing portfolio (stages 1 + 2) registered an increase of RON 194 Million (+13%) compared to December 2019, while the portfolio of non-performing loans registered a slight increase of RON 12 Million (+6%). The increase is strictly caused by the change in methodology for presenting provisions related to interest calculated for impaired loans (unwinding of interest), which no longer diminishes gross exposure starting with 30.06.2020, affecting comparability with the previous period. Thus, using the same calculation methodology, at 30.09.2020 the non-performing loans are of RON 201 Million (-4% compared to 31.12.2019)
  • Debt due to customersshows a slight increase of RON 32 Million, +1% coming from the cumulative effect of several elements in the COVID-19 pandemic context.

At the individual level the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 18.11%, exceeding the regulatory limit and registering an increase compared to the level of 17.75% recorded at the end of 2019.

At consolidated level, the capital adequacy ratio (Total Own Funds Ratio) is 17.64%, exceeding the regulatory limit.

The Total Own Funds Ratio both at individual and conslidated levels does not incorporate the profits obtained by the Bank and by the Patria Bank S.A. Group, as it is not audited, a mandatory condition for its incorporation in Own Funds. Thus, the consolidation of the Total Own Funds Ratio will be performed at the end of the year by including the profits obtained by the Bank and by the Group.

On September 30, 2020, the Bank successfully closed a private placement for the sale of subordinated, unsecured and non-convertible bonds amounting to EUR 8,187,000. The National Bank of Romania communicated on October 26, 2020 its prior approval regarding the inclusion of the bonds in the Tier 2 capital of the Bank.

Net banking income registered a 13% decrease compared to the same period of 2019 (RON -17 Million), a negative evolution caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the evoluton of the ROBOR interest index, the decrease of the volume of customer trading during the state of emergency, and the negative impact of marking-to-market of financial assets valued at fair value through the Profit or Loss account. Some of these effects have been mitigated and the third quarter of the year shows positive developments compared with the first quarter, as it will be presented later in this document.

  • Interest income shows a decrease of 3%, or RON –4 Million, especially in the area of loans where the portfolio is mainly denominated in RON with variable interest, thus being directly and immediately affected by the ROBOR contraction; the negative impact in interest income in the first nine months was RON -5 Million. At the same time, there is an increase in interest income related to debt instruments or +15%, or RON +1.8 Million, which partially offsets the evolution of interest income related to the loan portfolio
  • Interest expense shows an increase of RON 5 Million, coming from both commercial deposits as well as form the subordinated bonds issued by Patria Bank in order to consolidate its own funds base
  • Operating expenses registered a significant contraction compared to the same period of 2019 of -13%, or RON -14 Million, the Bank taking actions and measures to preserve the profitability of the institution in the COVID-19 pandemic context. An extensive process of cost optimization has been developed to adapt to the new market conditions. The reduction of operational costs was performed on salary expenses as well as on operational and administrative expenses
  • Net Cost of Risk registered an increase of RON 2.6 Million compared to the same period of 2019 against the background of the effects generated by the COVID-19 pandemic (deferred payments) and the update of parameters used in calculating depreciation adjustments in accordance with IFRS 9
  • The Bank registered a positive operating result for the first nine months of 2020 amounting to RON 18.5 Million, a slight decrease of RON 3 Million compared to the same period of 2019 (the reduction of operational revenues by RON 17 Million was almost completey covered by the contraction of costs by RON 14 Million), and a net result (profit) of RON 5.98 Million compared to RON 5.8 Million for the similar period of 2019 (+2%).

The quarterly evolution of the financial results is presented below, showing a positive dynamics on the main elements and a mitigation of effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, interest income related to loans granted to customers remains affected considering the significant decrease in the ROBOR interest rate index; this is offset by the positive developments in other income categories and the continuation of actions to reduce operating costs.

3. The activity of the Bank's subsidiaries

Patria Credit IFN

Patria Credit IFN SA, a company authorized by the NBR to carry out lending activities, is a name known on the local and European markets through its longstanding expertise in the field of agricultural microfinance. Patria Credit expanded its loan portfolio balance at the end of the third quarter up to the equivalent of EUR 18.6 Million (up 18.5% compared to September 2019). The volume of new loans granted during the third quarter of 2020 was EUR 3.1 Million, and the cumulative volume of loans granted in the first 9 months of the year was EUR 8.1 Million, increasing by 4% compared to the same period of 2019. The company obtained a net profit of EUR 0.9 Million, up 29% compared to the same period last year, despite the unfavorable economic situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regarding credit risk, the company has maintained a prudent and appropriate policy for its risk profile. Thus, Patria Credit registered in the the first nine months of 2020 an annual cost of risk of 0.19% compared to the budgeted level of 1.25% (calculated as ratio between the level of provision expenses for loans and the average portfolio).

During the third quarter, Patria Credit obtained the approval of the application for the EaSI microfinance guarantee with the European Investment Fund (EIF). The EaSI Guarantee Tool is funded by the EaSI program and is specifically dedicated to microfinance and social entrepreneurship. One of its main objectives is to increase the availability and access to finance for vulnerable groups aiming to launch their own enterprises, micro-enterprises and social enterprises, both in the setting up and development phases. Thus on 01.08.2020 the company launched the financing product with EaSI guarantee through which both small farmers and small rural businesses can access amounts of up to RON 120,000 RON with EaSI guarantee (the value of the credit being thus doubled compared to the standard offer) and with reduced costs.

In view of signing the guarantee contract for EaSI microfinance with the European Investment Fund in the amount of RON 80 Million, the new credit products intended to finance small agro and non-agro businesses with Easi guarantee were implemented in IT systems, for amounts up to RON 120,000, without guarantees or advance payments and with reduced costs.

In order to increase and diversify the necessary financing sources, the approval of the credit line amounting to RON 9,700,000 from CEC Bank was obtained in September 2020.

Given the pandemic context, Patria Credit IFN started the "IT operational improvement and digitization" project with the Dutch consultant ADVISION FINANCE, materialized in October 2020 in a detailed evaluation report of IT systems including recommendations for solutions for migration to modern applications, this project being 90% co-financed by EFSE DF.

During this period, the process of close cooperation between Patria Bank and Patria Credit IFN continued in order to offer small customers in rural areas specific banking products such as current account packages (including IB and debit card services), term deposits and mortgages.

Until now, the lending activity in Patria Credit IFN has not been affected by the situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, both installments and disbursements of loans being close to budget objectives set for 2020.

The company continues to finance the rural environment, micro-farms and small rural businesses, meeting their needs with new products and campaigns. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Patria Credit provides support to clients by offering various ways of restructuring current loans for companies facing difficulties, as well as with various channels for accessing financing without a physical presence.

The activity in Q3 2020 continued to be impacted by the context generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Patria Bank continuing to be close to customers and employees, ensuring preventive measures for optimal activity in units, with support and financing for entrepreneurs and acceleration of digitization projects.

2020 forecast including the economic impact generated by the COVID-19 pandemic

Considering the high degree of uncertainty on the economic crisis caused by the pandemic and the side effects on the population and the business environment, the Bank developed a set of estimates for 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in which the Bank tried to quantify the impact of the pandemic, considering the information and developments available at that time. Thus, there was an adjustment of net operating income of -13% compared to the approved budget, amid the decrease in the ROBOR interest rate index, the decrease in credit demand, the marking-to-market of financial assets valued at fair value in Profit or Loss Account, the reduction of the volume of transactions and operations performed by clients, as well as the decrease of the expected revenues from the capitalization strategy of the repossessed assets. In order to compensate for the contraction of net operating revenues, the Bank initiated actions to reduce operational costs, anticipating a contraction of these costs compared to the approved budget of 9%. An increase in the depreciation adjustments of financial assets (net expenses with provisions) of 9% was also estimated. Taking into account the cumulative impact of the above, the Bank estimates that it will close 2020 with a net positive result of RON 6.6 Million, lower

than the approved budget by RON 16.7 Million. This set of revised estimations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic does not include the potential impact of the prudential regulations or additional requests from the supervisory authority in the health crisis context. At the same time, neither a potential negative impact from the the valuation of repossessed assets, guarantees, goodwill and deferred tax receivables is included. The Bank is in the process of analyzing and quantifying the impact on the financial results for the entire year 2020.
