Chairman's Statement
UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c., has come through 2020 with very satisfactory results. These results were achieved in difficult markets conditions against a backdrop which included the economic and operational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reality of uncertainties arising from climate change, and continued political instability through the ongoing Brexit issues coupled with global trade war tensions. All of these issues contributed to an environment of "lower interest rates for longer" leading to continuing pressure on interest rate margins.
Our strategic focus in 2021 will be the continued execution of our 2020 to 2023 multi-year plan, including;
- The continuation of our role in managing a significant part of the Group Liquidity Portfolio made up of high quality SSA Assets (Sovereign, Supranational & Agencies);
- Acting as the bridge to the Irish Financial Services sector for the wider UniCredit Group to deliver our Corporate & Investment Banking Platform across a wide range of offerings and services;
- To continue to manage all of the relevant risks of the Company through robust internal control systems, policies and procedures centred on strong Corporate Governance within a culture of openness and transparency.
In 2020 we achieved a net profit of €42.0 million which was 72% ahead of the budgeted net profit of €24.4 million. This compared to a net profit in 2019 of €32.2 million. The main driver of the increase in net profit compared to 2019 was due to profitable bond disposals in June and July.
Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board Members, Management Team and Colleagues for their dedication throughout the year.
Aidan Williams Chairman 5 February 2021

Key Performance Indicators ('KPIs')
- Profit to 31 December 2020 amounted to €42.0 million (31 December 2019: €32.2 million).

- Interest income and similar revenues to 31 December 2020 amounted to €180.1 million (31 December 2019: €275.6 million).
- Interest expense and similar charges to 31 December 2020 amounted to €131.6 million (31 December 2019: । €224.7 million).
- Net interest income to 31 December 2020 amounted to €48.6 million (31 December 2019: €50.9 million).
- Net impairments on financial assets of €1.9 million have been recorded in 2020 (31 December 2019: €3.0 million write back). The Company applied updated macroeconomic scenarios in its Expected Credit Loss "ECL" modelling due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in a higher Probability of Default "PD" being attributed to sovereign exposures and intercompany positions which led to an increase in net impairments compared to prior period.
- Total operating income to 31 December 2020 amounted to €65.0 million (31 December 2019: €49.3 million).
The most significant events for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 were the following:
- 1) The Company continued the execution of its strategic plan. Total assets at the end of 2020 amounted to €12.9 billion, which was higher than 2019 year end (31 December 2019: €12.4 billion) mainly due to an increase in intercompany loans of £2.3 billion offset by a €1.6 billion in disposals and maturities of the nonintercompany bond portfolio. The majority of the Assets were non-intercompany as at 31 December 2020, and the percentage of Intercompany Assets over Total Assets was 39% as at 2020 year end (31 December 2019: 23%). Total liabilities also increased since 2019 year end primarily due to increased issuance of European Commercial Paper. Net interest income of €48.6 million is 5% lower than tal year, primarily due to the reduction in the Banks sovereign and intercompany bond portfolios.
- 2) The 2020 Ex-ante contribution to the Single Resolution Fund Levy, amounting to €4.3 million, has recorded a decrease compared to the 2019 levy (31 December 2019: €5.6 million) mostly driven by the decrease in the Bank's total liabilities between 2018 and 2017 and reduced perceived riskiness compared to its peers in the Irish market. The Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") Industry funding levy decreased to €0.9 million compared to €1.9 million in 2019 mostly driven by an decreased percentage of funding to cover CBI costs; both levies have been fully accounted for in the 'Other Administrative Expenses' line.
- 3) The positive opening balance of the FVOCI Reserve of €57.3 million decreased to €50.0 million at the end of 2020 mostly due to the Italian Government Bond spread widening as a result of the market response to the impact of COVID-19 on Italy. This determined a negative result of €7.3 million in the "Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income" for year ended 31 December 2020.
Total Shareholders' equity as of 31 December 2020 amounted to €2.4 billion substantially aligned with yearend 2019 figures.
As of 31 December 2020 the fully loaded common equity tier 1 ("CET1") was 81.25% (31 December 2019: 121.65%); fully loaded meaning the calculation of the CET ratio after the expiry of the transitional provisions. With reference to CET1, as of today no transitional provisions are in place.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has designed its risk management framework to capture all material risks to which it is exposed and invested substantial time and effort in its risk management strategies, framework, policies, procedures and monitoring techniques. Nevertheless, there is a risk that these may fail to entirely mitigated situations or circumstances or to an extent previously considered immaterial. Any residual losses, financial and/or reputational, would have to be borne by the Company in such a situation or circumstance.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations over the next 12 months, are as follows:

- continuing volatility caused by the uncertainty over the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets in which the Company operates;
- severe threats to our climate could lead to a deterioration in the markets in which the Company operates or invests;
- continuing uncertainty of the consequences of the United Kingdom's exit from the EU at the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020 and following the trade deal agreement;
- continuing volatility caused by the political situation in Italy, which, as also highlighted above, can impact adversely the markets in which the Company operates or investments presently held in Other Comprehensive Income portfolio;
- inherent risks from macroeconomic conditions in the Company's and Group's main markets, concerns on sovereign debt and financial uncertainties in the EU and the potential effects of those uncertainties on investments presently held by the Company or on Group business activities and results;
- deterioration in the credit quality of the Company's borrowers/counterparties, as well as difficulties in . relation to the recoverability of loans and other amounts due from such borrowers and counterparties that could result in significant increases in the Company's impaired loans and impairment provisions;
- the impact of downgrades in the Group's or the Italian Government's credit ratings;
- the impact of the continuing implementation of significant regulatory developments (Basel III and Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) IV);
- the ability of the Company/Group to generate additional liquidity and/or capital, as required; and
- failures in internal controls and procedures leading to financial loss, reputational damage and/or regulatory sanction.
The above list is not exhaustive nor, is it intended to be a definitive list of all risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.
In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic triggered an economic crisis with dire societal consequences, affecting the lives and livelihoods of most of the global population. Societies, governments and businesses collectively grapple with balancing health security imperatives against the economic fallout and rising societal anxieties. The consequences of the pandemic are still uncertain and potentially may include the following:
- Prolonged recession of the global economy;
- Surge in bankruptcies (big firms and SMEs) and a wave of industry consolidation;
- Failure of industries or sectors in certain countries to properly recover;
- High levels of structural unemployment (especially youth);
- Tighter restrictions on the cross-border movement of people and goods;
- Weakening of fiscal positions in major economies;
- Protracted disruption of global supply chains;
- Another global outbreak of COVID-19 or different infectious disease;
- Cyberattacks and data fraud due to a sustained shift in working patterns.
The interaction of these COVID-19 related uncertainties with other principal risks faced by the Company such as volatility caused by the political situation in Italy, downgrades in the Group's or the Italian Government's credit ratings, and deterioration in the credit quality of the Company's borrowers/counterparties, is unclear.
In relation to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU and related potential risks, the Company does not envisage any major risk to its current business model which is based on EU and not UK assets. As a trade deal was agreed between the EU and the UK before the 31* December 2020, the related potential risks have reduced, however nevertheless the Company is monitoring the ongoing consequences of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU and it is part of a project coordinated at UniCredit S.p.A. level, which covers all potential impacts.

Distribution of reserves / Dividends
A distribution of reserves of €32.2 million was approved by the Board on the 3rd February 2020 and paid on the 28th May 2020. In 2019 a distribution of reserves of €41.5 million was paid on the 21st May 2019. The Directors propose a final dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 of €42.0 million to be paid to UniCredit S.p.A. by the end of May 2021. As the Company is part of a significant supervised group as defined in point (22) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/17), the recommendation of the European Central Bank of 27 July 2020 on dividend distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/19, did not apply to the 2020 dividend. As the Company is part of a significant supervised group as defined in point (22) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/17), the recommendation of the European Central Bank of 15 December 2020 on dividend distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35, does not apply to the proposed 2021 dividend.
Capital Restriction
There is only one class of shares and all of the shares are owned by UniCredit S.p.A. There are no restrictions on the transfer or voting rights of these shares.
Risk Management and Control
The Company, in the normal course of business, is exposed to a number of classes of risk, of which the most significant are credit, market (including interest rate and currency risk), operational, liquidity and funding risk. Details of these risks are provided in Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies of the financial statements. The Company, in preparing the financial statements, follows a documented set of procedures and a control risk framework which is reviewed on a six monthly basis.
Arm's Length Transactions
The Directors have established formal procedures to ensure that all transactions with other Group entities and shareholders of the ultimate Parent undertaking is carried out on an arm's length basis. The Bank abides by the Group Transfer Pricing Policies and Guidelines which are grounded in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
Political Donations
The Electoral Act, 1997 as amended requires companies to disclose all political donations over €200 in aggregate made during the financial period. The Directors have satisfied themselves that no such donations have been made by the Company.
Future Developments
The Company does not foresee any material changes to its business model, operating activities or staffing levels. Reinvestment in the Company's sovereign portfolios is expected to be challenging due to low spreads, with a resulting impact on profitability in future years. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 onwards the majority of staff worked from home without any significant business continuity, security or cyber security issues arising. When it is safe to return to the office and in line with government guidelines, staff will have the option to gradually return to the office to work.
Going Concern
The financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are satisfied that the Company as a whole has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The Directors considered the following principal conditions and events when assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern:

- the Company's consistent business model and strong liquidity position, combined with support provided by the Company's being part of the UniCredit S.p.A. Group;
- the impact of COVID-19 led to the refinement of the assumptions used in formulating certain estimates such as impairments, meaning the Company updated the macro environment scenarios to take account of increasingly volatile markets, and;
- the forecasts and multi-year plans provided to reflect future plans.
Refer to the Part A.1: Accounting Policies Section 1 - Statement of Compliance with IFRSs for details.
Accounting records
The measures taken by the Directors to ensure compliance with the requirements of sections 281 to 285 of the Companies Act 2014 to keep adequate accounting records are the use of appropriate systems and the employment of competent persons. The accounting records are kept at La Touche House, IFSC, Dublin 1.

Significant transactions
In January 2020 the Bank sold \$36 million of Polish and \$107.5 million of Slovakian sovereign bonds. The sales were performed to capture sustained spread tightening and generated a profit of ca. €1.7 million.
In June 2020 the Bank sold a total amount of €200 million of Spanish sovereign bonds realizing a profit of ca. €7.5 million and sold an amount of €100 million of Italian sovereign bonds realising a profit of ca. €3.7 million.
During the first 6 months of the year ca. €0.9 billion of European Commercial Paper notes were bought back resulting in an overall profit of €0.3 million.
In July 2020 the Bank sold €100 million of Italian sovereign bonds. The sales were performed to capture sustained spread tightening and generated a profit of ca. €4.9 million. The Bank purchased €100 million of 7 year Italian sovereign bonds post this sale.
In late September/early October 2020 the Bank sold a total amount of €250 million of Italian sovereign bonds realizing a profit of ca. €0.7 million.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The Directors' are responsible for preparing the Chairman's report and the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2014 and the applicable regulations.
Irish company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law, the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("relevant financial reporting framework"). Under company law, the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at the financial year end date and of the profit or loss of the Company for the financial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies for the Company financial statements and then apply them consistently;
-
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Company keeps or causes to be kept adequate accounting records which correctly explain and record the transactions of the Company, enable at any time the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company to be determined with reasonable accuracy, enable them to ensure that the financial statements and Directors' report comply with the Companies Act 2014 and enable the financial statements to be audited.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website.
Responsibility statement in accordance with the Transparency Regulations:
The Directors whose names and functions are listed on page 2 confirm that to the best of each Director's knowledge and belief:
- they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements;
- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position of the Company and the profit of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020; and
- the Director's Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Company, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (ISAs(Ireland)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are described below in the ͞Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements͟ section of our report.
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Ireland, including the Ethical Standard issued by the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (IAASA), as applied to public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors͛ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Our evaluation of the DiƌecƚŽƌƐ͛ aƐƐeƐƐmeŶƚ Žf the cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
- x ƵŶdeƌƐƚaŶdiŶg ƚhe cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ CaƉiƚal aŶd LiƋƵidiƚLJ ƉƌŽceƐƐ iŶclƵdiŶg ƚhe DiƌecƚŽƌƐ ƉƌŽceƐƐ fŽƌ eǀalƵaƚiŶg ƚhe use of the going concern assumption;
- x evaluating the design and determining the implementation of relevant controls in the Capital and Liquidity process;
- x assessment of the current year performance and year-end position of the company including profitability, asset mix, regulatory capital base and equity ratios;
- x challenging the key assumptions used in the DirectoƌƐ aƐƐeƐƐmeŶƚ Žf ƚhe cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ abiliƚLJ ƚŽ cŽŶƚiŶƵe aƐ a going concern, including reliance on group funding;
- x obtaining and challenging managements forcast and multi year plan (2021-2023) as approved by the Board of Directors; and
- x evaluating the adequacy of the relevant disclosures made in the financial statements.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current financial year and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| Provisions for Impairment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Key audit matter description |
As at 31 December 2020, the provision for impairment on Financial Assets at Amortised Cost is €3.2 million and on Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income is €0.9 million. This represents the estimation of expected losses at the year-end. |
||
| The determination of appropriate provisions for impairment is a key audit matter as it requires management judgement, is subject to estimation uncertainty and relies on available data, and has been identified as a significant risk of material misstatement. |
|||
| There is a risk that the provision for impairment of Financial Assets does not represent a complete and accurate estimate of expected losses and that the carrying value of these items is misstated. This includes the risk that the Expected Credit Losses (ECL) model is not compliant with the requirements of IFRS 9 and the risk that data is not complete and accurate. |
|||
| The accounting policy and key sources of estimation uncertainty in relation to financial asset impairment provisions are disclosed in Note A1 to the financial statements on pages 35 and 36. Refer also to part E in the financial statements. |
|||
| How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter |
We undertook an assessment of, and challenged the company's provisioning methodology and compared it with the requirements of IFRS 9 with the assistance of the Group audit team. |
||
| We evaluated the design, determined the implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls we identified as relevant in relation to credit management, data inputs to loan loss provisioning, ECL model and provision assessment. |
|||
| We challenged management's assumptions in relation to the determination of 'significant increase in credit risk' and the allocation of loans to the three stages. We tested loans to challenge that they have been included in the correct stage in accordance with the company's methodology and IFRS 9. |
|||
| We reviewed the reasonableness of the output of the ECL model and provision assessment, and evaluated the changes to the model as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. |
|||
| We evaluated the adequacy of the relevant disclosures made in the financial statements. In particular, we focused on challenging the Directors that the disclosures were sufficiently clear in highlighting the significant uncertainties that exist in respect of provisions and the sensitivity of the allowance to changes in the underlying assumptions. |
|||
| As a result of our work we considered the impairment provisions to be in a reasonable range. |

| Revenue Recognition | |
|---|---|
| Key audit matter description |
Revenue is made of: interest income on financial assets, amortisation of bond premium and discount, reclassified positive interest expense on financial liabilities, realised gains and losses, and unrealised gains and losses. |
| The cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ accŽƵŶƚiŶg ƉŽlicLJ fŽƌ ƚhe ƌecŽgŶiƚiŽŶ Žf ƌeǀeŶƵe iƐ diƐclosed in note A1 to the financial statements (page 32). Refer also to part C of the Financial Statements. |
|
| Revenue recognition relating to significant trading transactions impacting profit in the current year is a key audit matter. This is due to the materiality of such transactions and the fact that they may have complex structures and contractual arrangements or may involve other Group entities as counterparties, and has been identified as a significant risk of material misstatement. |
|
| There is a risk that revenue recognised on these transactions has not been accurately ƌecŽgŶiƐed iŶ accŽƌdaŶce ǁiƚh ƚhe cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ accŽƵŶƚiŶg ƉŽlicLJ͘ |
|
| How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter |
We assessed the revenue recognition policy applied by the company for compliance with IFRS. |
| We evaluated the design, determined the implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant controls in respect of: |
|
| x trade input; |
|
| x calculation of gains and losses; |
|
| x general IT controls relating to the systems that calculate the gains and losses and interest income; and |
|
| x the financial reporting and risk management process around transaction approval and review |
|
| We obtained an understanding of the nature and rationale for significant trading transactions. We independently tested a sample of the accounting entries by agreement back to the underlying contractual arrangements and verified settlement as appropriate. |
|
| We reviewed the pricing and contractual terms of transactions involving other Group entities as counterparties and ensured that the revenue recognised is consistent with ƚhe cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ accŽƵŶƚiŶg ƉŽlicLJ aŶd IFRS͘ |
|
| We evaluated the adequacy of the relevant disclosures made in the financial statements. |
Our audit procedures relating to these matters were designed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and not to express an opinion on individual accounts or disclosures. Our opinion on the financial statements is not modified with respect to any of the risks described above, and we do not express an opinion on these individual matters.

Our application of materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement that makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person, relying on the financial statements, would be changed or influenced. We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them any audit differences in excess of Φ290,000, as well as differences below that threshold which, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the Audit Committee on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.
An overview of the scope of our audit
We determined the scope of our audit by obtaining an understanding of the company and its environment, including the controls within the company, and assessing the risks of material misstatement related to the financial statements of the company. Based on that understanding the majority of the work was completed in UniCredit Bank Ireland plc with some support relating to intercompany balances, IFRS 9 and general IT controls from the Group audit team which is a Deloitte member firm.
We focused our audit scope, and the extent of our testing, based on our assessment of the risks of material misstatement and of the materiality determined.

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements aŶd ŽƵƌ aƵdiƚŽƌ͛Ɛ ƌeƉŽƌƚ ƚheƌeŽŶ͘ The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (Ireland), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ internal control.
- x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.

- x Conclude on the appropriateness of the DiƌecƚŽƌƐ͛ ƵƐe Žf ƚhe going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the cŽmƉaŶLJ͛Ɛ ability to continue as a going concern.

- x Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that the auditor identifies during the audit.
For listed entities and public interest entities, the auditor also provides those charged with governance with a statement that the auditor has complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, including the Ethical Standard for Auditors (Ireland) 2016, and communicates with them all relationships and other matters that may ƌeaƐŽŶablLJ be ƚhŽƵghƚ ƚŽ beaƌ ŽŶ ƚhe aƵdiƚŽƌ͛Ɛ iŶdeƉeŶdeŶce͕ aŶd ǁheƌe aƉƉlicable͕ ƌelaƚed ƐafegƵaƌdƐ͘
Where the auditor is required to report on key audit matters, from the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the auditor determines those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

Section 2 - General Basis of Preparation
The preparation of financial statements requres managements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since management's judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future events, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The judgements and estimates that could have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year are in the areas of impairment of financial assets, and the fair value of certain financial liabilities. Refer to accounting estimates and key judgements paragraphs that follow on pages 41 - 42 for more details.
The financial statements comprise of the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, the Cash Flow Statement and the Notes to the financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentational currency
The Company's financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency of the Company's operations, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Transactions and balances
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Euro at the rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate as at the date of the transaction.

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as securities held at fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income and expenses and similar income and expense items relate to financial assets and liabilities, i.e. (i) financial assets and liabilities held for trading, (ii) financial assets mandatorily at fair value, (iii) financials assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, (iv) financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost such as loans and receivables with Banks and Customers, deposits from Banks and Customers, and securities in issue.
Interest also includes the net credit or debit balance of differentials and margins on financial derivatives (i.e. hedging interest-bearing assets and liabilities).
Interest income and expense are recognised through profit or loss with respect to all instruments measured at other comprehensive income and all instruments measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, are separately disclosed in the income statement.
The effective interest method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant instrument's expected life. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. The application of the effect of recognising income (and expense) receivable (or payable) on the instrument evenly in proportion to the amount outstanding over the period to maturity or repayment.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees, including those for estimated early redemptions, directly attributable transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Fee and Commission Expense
Fees and Commission Expense is generally recognised on an accruals basis when the service has been provided, unless it is appropriate to include it in the effective interest rate calculation.
Other Operating Income
The measurement and timing of recognition of other operating income is based on the core principles of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The principles in IFRS 15 are applied using the following 5 step model:
- Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
- Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
- Determine the transaction price;
- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
- Recognise revenue when or as the Company satisfies its performance obligations.
As at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 the Company had a service level agreement with associated Pioneer entities for the provision of professional services. The performance obligation is satisfied over-time as the services are provided, and the related revenue is recognized in the income statement in order to reflect the progress of satisfaction of such obligation. The transaction price is defined in the contract.

Financial Assets
This classification is based on the business model and characteristics of the contractual cash flows. The analysis of the business model is conducted by assessing the individual assets of the Company and by allocating a specific business model to each of them.
In this regard, the assets that make up the Company's portfolio have been assigned "held-to-collect" or "held-tocollect and sell" business models according to holding intentions and expected turnover of the financial instruments. The derivatives in the Company's portfolio that are trading in nature have been assigned an "other" business model in order to reflect trading intentions.
For the purposes of classifying financial instruments in the categories required by IFRS 9, the business model analysis must be complemented by an analysis of contractual flows ("SPPI Test"). The "SPPI Test" examines whether the financial instruments are 'Solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding' or not.
In this regard, the Company has developed processes that also leverage Group expertise and systems aimed at analysing the portfolio of securities and loans in order to assess whether the features of their contractual cash flows allows their measurement at amortized cost ("held to collect" portfolio) or at fair value through comprehensive income ("held to collect and sell" portfolio").
The analysis in question was carried out contract locally analysing the contract features with respect to IFRS 9 requirements, and/or by using external data providers.
In application of the aforementioned rules, the Company's financial assets have been classified as follows:
- Asset item 20 a) Financial assets held for trading;
-
- Asset item 20 c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value;
- Asset item 30 Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive income;
- Asset item 40 Financial assets at amortised cost.
Asset item 20 a) Financial assets held for trading
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is:
- acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term;
- part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking;
- a derivative contract not designated under hedge accounting, including derivatives with positive fair value embedded in financial liabilities other than those valued at fair value with recognition of income effects through profit or loss.
As with other financial instruments, on initial recognition, and at settlement date, a held-for-trading financial asset is measured at its fair value, usually equal to the amount paid, excluding transaction costs and revenues, which are recognized in profit or loss although directly attributable to the financial assets. Derivatives are recognized at trade date.
After initial recognition these financial assets are measured at their fair value through profit or loss. As per interest income accounting policy, interest income is recognised separately.
A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics:

- its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable (usually called the 'underlying') provided that in case of non-financial variable, this is not specific of one of the parties to the contract;
- it requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors;
- it is settled at a future date.
The Company has foreign exchange forwards and interest rate swaps classified as financial assets held for trading as at 31 December 2020 and also as at 31 December 2019.
Asset item 20 c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value
A financial asset is classified as a financial asset mandatorily at fair value if it does not meet the conditions, in terms of business model or cash flow characteristics, for being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Specifically, the following assets have been classified in this portfolio as debt instruments, securities and loans with cash flows that are not solely payment of principal and interest and have therefore failed the SPPI test.
These assets are accounted for as "Financial assets held for trading"
Asset item 30 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt instruments)
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income if:
- its business model is held to collect and sell;
-
- its cash flows are solely the payment of principal and interest.
On initial recognition, and at settlement date, a financial asset is measured at fair value, which is usually equal to the consideration paid, plus transaction costs and revenues directly attributable to the instrument.
After initial recognition, the interest accrued on interest-bearing instruments is recorded in the income statement according to the amortized cost criterion. The gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income and shown under item 110. Revaluation reserves in shareholders' equity.
These instruments are under the impairment model as illustrated in the following section. Expected credit losses are recorded in the income statement with a contra-entry in the statement of other comprehensive income and also shown under item 110. Revaluation reserves in shareholders' equity.
In the event of disposal, the accumulated profits and losses are recorded in the income statement.
Asset item 40 Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is classified within the financial assets measured at amortised cost if:
- its business model is held to collect;
- its cash flows are solely the payment of principal and interest.
On initial recognition, and at settlement date, financial assets at amortized cost are measured at fair value, which is usually equal to the consideration paid, plus transaction costs and income directly attributable to the instrument.

After initial recognition at fair value, these assets are measured at amortized cost which requires the recognition of interest on an accrual basis by using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan.
These instruments are under the impairment model as illustrated in the following section. Expected credit losses are recorded in the income statement with a contra-entry against the financial asset in the balance sheet.
Impairment of financial assets
Loans and debt securities classified as financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income and relevant off-balance sheet exposures are under the impairment model of IFRS 9.
In this regard, these instruments are classified in Stage 2 or Stage 3 according to their absolute or relative credit quality with respect to initial recognition. Specifically:
- Stage 1: includes (i) newly issued or acquired credit exposures for which credit risk has not significantly deteriorated since initial recognition, (iii) exposures having low credit risk exemption);
- Stage 2: includes credit exposures that, although performing, have seen their credit risk significantly deteriorating since initial recognition;
- Stage 3: includes impaired credit exposures, where the asset is non-performing and an objective evidence for impairment following a credit event has been recognized.
For exposures in Stage 1, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon of up to one year. For exposures in Stages 2 or 3, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon corresponding to the entire life of the exposure. With reference to impaired exposures in stage, the expected recoverable amount, and therefore the expected credit loss, is the present value of future cash flows expected to be recovered, discounted at the original interest rate. Therefore the main determinants of this value are, the expected cash flows; the expected timing of payments of these cash flows; and the effective interest rate used for discounting.
The Stage Allocation model is a key aspect of the accounting model required to calculate expected credit losses. The Stage Allocation model is based on a combination of relative and absolute elements. The main elements are:
- comparison, for each transaction, between PD as measured at the time of origination and PD as at the reporting date, both calculated according to internal models, through thresholds set in such a way as to consider all key variables of each transaction that can affect the Bank's expectation of PD changes over time (e.g. age, maturity, PD level at the time of origination);
- absolute elements such as the backstops required by law (e.g. 30 days past-due);
- additional internal evidence (e.g. Forborne classification).
As at 31 December 2020 the Company had Stage 1 exposures and no off-balance sheet exposures subject to Expected Credit Loss 'ECL' calculations.
In order to meet the requirements of the standard, the Company leverages specific models that have been developed at Group level to calculate expected credit losses based on PD, LGD and EAD parameters, used for regulatory purposes and adjusted in order to ensure consistency with accounting regulations.
As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the Group has developed specific models for calculating the expected credit losses; such models are based on the parameters of PD, LGD and EAD and on the effective interest rate. In particular:

- the PD (Probability of Default), represents the probability of occurrence of an event of default of the credit exposure, in a defined time lag (i.e. 1 year);
- the LGD (Loss Given Default), represents the percentage of the estimated loss, and thus the expected rate of recovery, at the date of occurrence of the default event of the credit exposure;
- the EAD (Exposure at Default), represents the measure of the exposure at the time of the event of default of the credit exposure;
- the effective interest rate is the discount rate that expresses the time value of money.
Further details are available in Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies Section 5 Parameters and risk definitions used for calculating value adjustments and stage allocations.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities include deposits taken, medium term notes, other debt securities issued and derivatives. The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories:
-
- Liability item 10 Financial liabilities at amortised cost;
- Liability item 20 Financial liabilities held for trading.
Liability item 10 Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Liabilities, deposits and debt securities in issue are initially recognised at fair value, which is normally the consideration received less transaction costs directly attributable to the financial liability. Subsequently, these instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company sub classifies its financial liabilities at amortised cost in the following categories:
- a) deposits from banks
- deposits from customers b)
- c) debt securities in issue
- lease liabilities d)
Liability item 20 Financial liabilities held for trading
Financial liabilities held for trading include at fair value through profit or loss:
- derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments;
- obligations to deliver financial assets borrowed by a short seller (i.e. an entity that sells financial assets it does not yet own);
- financial liabilities issued with an intention to repurchase them in the near term;
- financial liabilities that are part of a portfolio of financial instruments considered as a unit and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of trading.
Financial liabilities held for trading derivatives, are measured at fair value on initial recognition and during the life of the transaction.
The Company had foreign exchange forwards and interest rate swaps classified as financial liabilities held for trading as at 31 December 2020 and also as at 31 December 2019.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

Derivative instruments used by the Company primarily comprise interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards.
Non-trading derivative transactions comprise transactions held for hedging purposes, as part of the Company's risk management strategy, against financial assets, financial liabilities, positions or cash flows, either accounted for on an amortised cost basis or part of the financials assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
All derivatives are held on the Balance Sheet at fair value and are accounted for on a trade date basis. Fair values are obtained from quoted prices prevailing in active markets where available. Otherwise valuation techniques including discounted cash flows and option pricing models are used to value the instruments. Derivatives are included in assets when their fair value is positive and liabilities when is negative, unless there is a legal ability and intention to settle net.
When a financial instrument is designated as a hedge, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item as well as its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking the various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items.
To the extent that changes in the fair value of the hedging derivatives differ from changes in the fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item or the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging derivative differs from the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item, the hedge is ineffective. The amount of ineffectiveness, (taking into account the timing of the expected cash flows, where relevant) provided it is not so great as to disqualify the entire hedge from hedge accounting, is recorded in the income statement.
The Company currently applies only:
Fair value hedge: a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability, or an identifiable portion of such an asset or liability.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify and are designated as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the fair value hedging adjustment cumulatively made to the carrying value of the hedged item is, for items carried at amortised over the period to maturity of the previously designated hedge relationship using the effective interest method.
The Company has both portfolio 'Macro' and one-to-one 'Micro' hedge relationships.
- Macro hedge relationships are accounted for dependant on the classification of the underlying hedged item. For hedged items carried at amortised cost the change in the hedging instrument is accounted for under line item "Changes in fair value of portfolio hedged items". For hedged items carried at fair value through other comprehensive income the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is accounted for under line item 110 "Revaluation reserves through the OCI".
- The changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments relating to Micro hedge relationships for which the hedged items are carried at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are accounted for directly against the hedged item.
The fair value changes recorded in item 110 "Revaluation reserves through the OCI" are also disclosed in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.

Certain derivative contracts entered into as economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement in item 80 'Gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities held for trading'.
In relation to the adoption of IFRS 9 the Company has exercised the option to continue applying the existing IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements for all its hedging relationships until the IASB completes the project on accounting for macro-hedging.
Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities must be offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is a current legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Sale and Repurchase Agreements
Securities may be lent or sold subject to a commitment to repurchase them ("repos"). Such securities are retained on the Balance Sheet when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the Company. The liability to the counterparty is included separately on the Balance Sheet as appropriate.
Similarly when securities are purchased subject to a commitment to resell ("reverse repo"), or where the Company borrows securities but does not acquire the risks and rewards of ownership, the transactions are treated as collateralised loans, and the securities are not included in the Balance Sheet. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is accrued over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method.
Securities, Borrowing and Lending
Securities lending agreements are transactions in which the Bank lends or borrows securities for a fee. The Bank continues to recognise the securities in their entirety in the balance sheet because it retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. For securities borrowed the securities remain off-balance sheet as substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred.
Income Tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in which case the related income tax is also recognised respectively in other comprehensive income or equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and any adjustment in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred income tax is provided, on temporary timing differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates based on legislation enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date and expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related benefit will be realised.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the asset.
Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that there will be future economic benefits and the cost can be reliably measured. Other expenses borne at a later time

(e.g. normal maintenance costs) are recognised in the year they are incurred in profit or loss item 160. Administrative costs b) other administrative expense.
The item "Property, plant and equipment" includes assets used by the Bank as lesse contract (rightof-use), or let/hired out by the Bank as lessor under an operating lease.
Property, plant and equipment include leasehold improvements relating to assets which can be separately identified. Leasehold improvements are usually borne in order to make leased premises fit for the expected use. Improvements and additional expenses relating to property, plant and equipment identifiable but not separable are recognised in item 120. Other assets.
Depreciation is charged so as to write down the cost of assets over their estimated useful life using the straight line method. Residual useful life is usually assessed as follows:
- Leasehold improvements: up to 8 years
- Computer equipment: up to 5 years ၊
- Office equipment: up to 3 years
- -Right-of-use asset (lease): up to 10 years
Intangible Assets
Computer software is stated at cost, less amortisation for impairment, if any. The identifiable and directly associated external and internal costs of acquiring and developing software are capitalised where the software is controlled by the Company, and where it is probable that future economic benefits that exceed costs will flow from its use over more than one financial year. Costs associated with maintaining software are recognised as an expense when incurred. Capitalised computer software is amortised over 3 years, subject to the associated useful life using the straight line method, from the date it is brought into use.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, unrestricted balance with Central Bank and deposits, and short-term (with a maturity of three months or less), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the Balance Sheet.
Share Capital
Share capital represents funds raised by issuing shares in return for cash or other consideration.
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders.
Pension Obligations
The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the income statement when the employee has rendered services which qualify for the contribution. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Significant Accounting Estimates

Under IFRS, management must make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses reported in the acounts, as well as the disclosure concerning contingent assets and related assumptions are based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances and have been used to estimate the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily available from other sources.
In particular, estimated figures have been used for the recognition and measurement of some of the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020, as required by the accounting policies and regulations described above. These estimates are largely based on calculations of future recoverability of the values recognised in the accounts according to the rules laid down in current legislation and have been made on the assumption of a going concern.
Valuation is particularly complex because of the uncertainty in the macroeconomic and market environment; the parameters and information used may be significantly affected by such factors, which could change rapidly in ways that are currently unforeseeable, such that further effects on future carrying values cannot be ruled out. Estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Any changes resulting from these reviews are recognised in the period in which the review was carried out, provided the change only concerns that period. If the revision concerns both current and future periods it is recognised accordingly in both current and future periods. Valuation estimates of financial instruments include the choice of valuation techniques (e.g. Net Present Value of cash flows) employed in determination of fair values and determination of hierarchy levels. Refer to section 3 -Financial Instruments Fair Value of Part A.1: Accounting Policies for further information on the methods of valuation used for Financial Instruments. With specific reference to valuation techniques, unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement and sensitivities to changes in those inputs, please refer to Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies Section 11 - Fair Value Disclosures.
Valuation estimates relate to asset item 20 Financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss, asset item 30 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, asset item 50 Hedging derivatives and asset item 60 Changes in fair value of portfolio hedged items (+/-), liability item 20 Financial liabilities held for trading, liability item 40 Hedging derivatives, liability item 50 Changes in fair value of portfolio hedged items (+/-) and equity item 110 Revaluation reserves through the OCI. Refer to the Balance Sheet in the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020 for the carrying amounts of the asset and liability items mentioned.
Uncertainty affecting estimates is generally inherent, among others, in the measurement of fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets, loans and receivables, and, in general, any other financial assets/liabilities, whose assessment may significantly change over time according to the trend in (i) domestic and international socio-economic conditions and subsequent impact on the Bank's profitability and customers' creditworthiness; and (ii) financial markets which affect changes in interest rates, prices and actuarial assumptions.
With regard to credit exposures evaluation it should be noted that, with the application of IFRS 9, such estimation is based on forward looking information and, in particular on the evolution of macroeconomic scenarios used in the loan loss provisions calculation. Further details are available in Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies.
Credit exposure estimation impacts asset item 30 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, asset item 40 Financial assets at amortised cost and equity item 110 Revaluation reserves through the OCI. Refer to the in the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020 for the carrying amounts of the asset and liability items mentioned.

Where the asset is not quoted in an active market, valuation techniques may include;
- a market approach (e.g. using quoted prices for similar liabilities or equity instruments held by other parties as assets);
- cost approach (e.g. it reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset, that is the current replacement cost);
- an income approach (e.g. a present value technique that takes into account the future cash flows that a market participant would expect to receive from holding the liability or equity instrument as an asset).

Derivative contracts are valued using discounted cash flow methodology. Cash flows are discounted using rates which are either directly observable or are implied from instrument prices and input into the system on a daily basis.
Fair value calculation
In order to calculate the fair value of loans and receivables with banks, loans and receivables with customers, deposits from banks, deposits from customers and debt securities in issue, present value calculations based on The Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR")/London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") curves as at 31 December 2019 were utilised. The fair value determined using this calculation includes specific risk factors such as liquidity risk, and where relevant, counterparty risk.
IFRS 13 requires that for financial instruments measured at fair value on Balance Sheet fair value measurements are disclosed by the source of inputs, using the following three level hierarchies:
-
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are based observable market data for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);
-
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).
For details of the disclosure requirements in accordance with IFRS 7 and IFRS 13 please refer to Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies Section 11 - Fair Value Disclosures.

Part E: Information on risks and hedging policies
Section 1 Introduction
UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c is responsible for the management of its own risks and it has consequently set up processes to properly set the risk appetite and the associated data collection, risk measurement and reporting, both for local capital adequacy assessment and at a consolidated level.
The role of the Risk Management function in this context is to design and oversee the Bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process "ICAAP" framework, undertaking the following activities:
- identifying which of the Bank's risks are within the scope of the ICAAP;
- designing the structure and key constituents of the risk appetite statement, which also includes developing a process that aligns the business and risk strategy of the bank by linking the Risk Appetite 2020, Budget 2021 and Multi Year Plan 2020-2023; and
- ensuring the local ICAAP framework and its constituent processes and methodologies are both appropriate to local business model requirements (according to the proportionality principal) and consistent with Group ICAAP to allow for consolidated reporting and monitoring and highlight any differences that might exist.
The Bank defines Risk Appetite as the variability in results and/or position, on both a short and a long term, which the Bank and its senior executives are prepared to accept in support of a stated strategy. The aim is not to prevent risk taking, but to pursue the execution of the Bank's articulated strategy in a manner that is consistent with the level of risk tolerance set by the Board. In setting the level of Risk Appetite acceptable to the Bank, the Board will take into account factors such as conditions with market environment and regulatory practices, both current and future.
Section 2 Credit Risk general aspects
The Company takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. In the course of its credit business activities the Company is exposed to the risk that an unexpected change in a counterparty's creditworthiness may generate a corresponding unexpected change in the value of the associated credit exposure and may thus result in a partial or full write-off.
The main reasons for a default lie in the borrower's lacking the autonomous ability to service and repay the debt (due to a lack of liquidity, insolvency, etc.), as well as the occurrence of events that are affecting the debtor's operating and financial condition, such as country risk or the impact of operational risk. Other banking operations, in addition to traditional lending and deposit activities, can expose the Company to other credit risks. For example, 'non-traditional' credit risk may arise from:
- entering into derivative contracts;
- purchasing and selling securities, futures, currencies or commodities;
- holding third-party securities.
The counterparties in these transactions or issuers of securities held by the Company could default as a result of insolvency, political and economic events, lack of liquidity, operating problems or other reasons. Defaults of a large number of transactions, or one or more large transactions, could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations, financial condition and operating results. The Company therefore monitors and manages the specific risk of each counterparty as well as the overall risk of loan portfolios through procedures, structures and rules that steer, govern and standardise the assessment of credit risk, in line with the Group principles and best practice, also aimed to extend their effectiveness to all phases of the economic cycle.

risk, transfer and convertibility risk, delivery risk, risk related business environment and jurisdiction, political and geopolitical risk, and economic risk. Country risk is primarily managed by determining the appropriate groupwide maximum risk levels that can be assumed by the Legal Entities belonging to the Group towards all counterparties (sovereigns, government entities, banks, financial institutions, corporate customers, etc.) residing in or related to the country for cross-border transactions (from the standpoint of the loan).
Country risk management processes are mainly concentrated at UniCredit Group level in terms of both methodological aspects and the decision-making process, in order to ensure a uniform assessment and monitoring approach, particularly for the rating assignment, PD (probability of default) and LGD (loss given default), as well as control of risk concentration.
The Country rating assignment (both in terms of PD and LGD) is performed by using the specific internal rating model. The analysis, focused on both qualitative and quantitative factors, is an integral part of the rating calculation process.
The key objective of the reporting and monitoring of the credit portfolio is to deterioration and, therefore, to take appropriate corrective action by analysing the main components of credit risk such as EAD (Exposure at Default), EL (Expected Loss), Migration, Risk Cost, etc.
Section 3 Risk management organisation, processes and key functions in applying the ECL approach
UniCredit Banking Group, with reference to the Loan Loss Provision process, has the following responsibility;
- for Performing exposures, to define the UniCredit Group guidelines in terms of:
- o impairment methodological Rules in line with the IFRS 9 Standards;
- o expected credit loss measurement;
- o definition of the Transfer logic criteria qualifying the event of significant deterioration in credit risk, either in terms of quantitative and additional criteria for the Stage allocation.
- For Non Performing exposures to define the UniCredit Group guidelines in terms of:
- o identification in line with the most recent Default definition as per Capital Requirements Regulation ('CRR') Article 178 https://www.eba.europa.eu/regulation-and-policy/singlerulebook/interactive-single-rulebook/1738, necessary adjustments in case of impairment;
- o individual and collective assessment for the non performing exposures.
The UniCredit Group Credit Risk Function is responsible for the ECL calculation on the Bank's eligible assets.
As the Company invests in Group wide portfolios, several tasks related to the ECL calculation process are performed at group level in accordance with Group guidelines on the Loan Loss Provisioning process under IFRS 9, such as:
- development and maintenance of the methodologies for estimating the Loan Loss Provisions;
- parameterization for the risk parameters and transfer logic for group wide portfolios;
- performance of internal back testing activities, at Group level, on systems for measuring Expected Loss.

Section 4 Measurement method for expected losses
The Credit Risk processes described in the previous paragraphs are also the basis for the calculation of impairment of Loans and debt securities classified as financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income and relevant off-balance sheet exposures as required by IFRS9.
In order to meet the requirements of the standard, the Company leverages specific models that have been developed at Group level to calculate expected loss based on PD, LGD and EAD parameters, used for regulatory purposes and adjusted in order to ensure consistency with accounting regulations.
For this purpose the calculation of impairment in accordance with losses is based on two main pillars:
- the stage allocation of the credit exposure;
- the associated calculation of expected credit loss.
In UniCredit Group the Stage allocation is based on a combination of relative and absolute elements. The main elements are:
- comparison, for each transaction, between PD as measured at the time of origination and PD as at the reporting date, both calculated according to internal models, through thresholds set in such a way as to consider all key variables of each transaction that can affect the bank's expectation of PD changes over time (e.g. age, maturity, PD level at the time of origination);
- absolute elements such as the backstops required by law (e.g. 30 days past-due);
- additional internal evidence, including renegotiations of financial instruments due to financial difficulties met by the counterpart (i.e. Forborne classification).
In relation to the staging allocation for Debt Securities, the Company in line with UniCredit Group have opted for the low credit risk exemption as allowed by the IFRS 9 standard on this instrument. Under this option, all debt securities with internally calculated PD of investment grade per the Group master scale (cut off PD 0.5824%) are allocated to Stage 1 (while for all securities not investment grade the normal transfer logic is applied). Currently all securities held by the Bank have an internal PD within the Master scale cut off PD.
The outcome of the stage allocation is the classification of credit exposure in stage 3 according to their absolute or relative credit quality with respect to initial disbursement. Specifically:
- Stage 1: includes (i) newly issued or acquired credit exposures for which credit risk has not significantly deteriorated since initial recognition, (iii) exposures having low credit risk exemption);
- Stage 2: includes credit exposures that, although performing, have seen their credit risk significantly deteriorating since initial recognition;
- . Stage 3: includes impaired credit exposures.
The outcome of Stage allocation drives the calculation of impairment. In fact, for exposures in stage 1, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon of up to one year. For exposures in stages 2 or 3, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon corresponding to the entire life of the exposure.

As at 31 December 2020 the Company only had Stage 1 exposures (31 December 2019: The Company only had Stage 1 exposures).
The Stage Allocation model is tested at each reporting date; in order to timely capture both significant deterioration and its reverse in a symmetric way so to correctly allocate each transaction within the proper stage and related expected loss calculation model.
With reference to the calculation of expected credit loss, please note that this amount is based on PD, LGD and EAD parameters adjusted, starting from the parameters used for regulatory purposes, in order to ensure consistency with accounting regulation. The main adjustments performed to the parameters used for regulatory purposes include those adjustments needed to arrive at the calculation of a point-in-time and forward-looking expected credit loss as well as those needed to include multiple scenarios.
Section 5 Parameters and risk definitions used for calculating value adjustments and stage allocations
The Group has developed specific models for calculating the expected loss; such models are based on the parameters of PD, LGD and EAD and on the effective interest rate. In particular:
- the PD (Probability of Default), represents the probability of occurrence of an event of default of the credit exposure, in a defined time lag (i.e. 1 year);
- of recovery, at the date of occurrence of the default event of the credit exposure;
- the EAD (Exposure at Default), represents the measure of the time of the event of default . of the credit exposure;
- the Effective interest rate is the discount rate that expresses of the time value of money.
Such parameters are calculated starting from the corresponding parameters used for regulatory purposes, with specific adjustments in order to ensure consistency between accounting and regulatory treatment despite different regulatory requirements.
The main adjustments aimed at:
- removing conservatism required for regulatory purposes;
- introducing "point-in-time" adjustments to replace "through-the-cycle" adjustments required for regulatory purposes;
- including "forward looking" information;
- extending credit risk parameters to a multi-year perspective.
With reference to lifetime PD, through-the-cycle PD curves obtained by adjusting observed cumulated default rates were calibrated in order to reflect point-in-time and forward-looking forecasts on portfolio default rates. Recovery rate incorporated into through-the-cycle LGD was adjusted in order to remove conservatism and to reflect the most updated trend of recovery rates as well as expectations about future trends discounted at effective interest rate or at its best approximation.
The lifetime EAD has been obtained by extending the 1 year regulatory or managerial model, removing margin of conservatism and including expectation about future drawing levels.

With reference to the quantitative component of the model for stage allocation, the Group has adopted a statistical approach based on a quantiles regression whose objective is to define a threshold in terms of maximum variation acceptable between the PD at the time of origination and the PD assessed at the reporting date. The variable objective of the regressive model is thus the change between the PD at the reporting date compared to the one at the date of origination while the explicative variables are factors such as the age of the transaction, the PD at the date of origination, etc.
A key component of the model is the definition of the quantile that identifies the amount of Stage 2 expected on average in the long-run and that affects the determination of the threshold of change in PD after which the transaction is classified in Stage 2. The average quantile in the long run is determined based on the expected average of deterioration of the portfolio determined by the rate of defaults as in any other deterioration stage (i.e. 30 days past due).
The amount of exposures classified in Stage 2 at each reporting date will be around the quantile identified for the long run based on the economic conditions at the time and on the future expectations about the evolution of the economic cycle.
With reference to Stage 3, it should be noted that it includes impaired exposures corresponding to the aggregate Non-Performing Exposures as ITS EBA (EBA/ITS /2013/03/rev1 7/24/2014), in accordance with Banca d'Italia rules, defined in Circular No.272 of 30 July 2008 and subsequent updates.
In particular EBA has defined as "Non-Performing" the exposures that meet one or both of the following criteria:
- material exposures with more than 90 days past due;
- exposures for which the bank values that is unlikely that the debtor would pay in full his credit obligations without recurring to enforcement and
-
- realisation of collaterals, regardless of past due exposures and the number of days the exposure is past due.
The expected credit loss either one year or lifetime depending on the stage considers "forward looking" information and macroeconomic forecasts under the baseline scenario through a direct adjustment of the credit risk parameters while the multiple scenarios effect is captured through the application of an overlay factor directly applied to the portfolio expected credit loss.
The process defined to include macroeconomic scenarios is fully consistent with macroeconomic forecast processes used by the Group for additional risk management objectives (as for example processes adopted to calculate expected credit losses from macroeconomic forecasts based on EBA stress test and ICAAP Framework) and also takes advantage of independent UniCredit Research function. The starting point is therefore fully aligned while the application is differentiated in order to comply with different requirements using internal scenarios.
In relation to the impact of COVID-19, the latest Stress test reflect the updated macro-economic situation as of October 2020 for the period 2021-23 (2020 GDP growth for Italy expected to close at -10% and +4.7% for 2021). Brexit is included in the short term macro-economic scenario variable and climate change, while considered a principal uncertainty is not explicitly considered in the macro-economic situation, in a context of three year time horizon scenario.
According to IFRS 9, paragraph B5.5.22, the credit risk on a financial instrument is considered low if:
-
the financial instrument has a low risk of default;
-
E-MARKET
-
- the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and
- adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
In order to perform stage allocation on debt securities, the Bank is required to identify the unit of account. The unit of account has been defined as the Tranche level, which means that if the Bank buys the same security at 2 different points in time, each position would need to be individually assessed for stage allocation.
However, UniCredit Group after taking into account the:
- current legacy system which manages debt securities (i.e. CAD);
- implementation costs and timing required to change the current legacy system, thus allowing the management of the tranche level for debt securities; and
- application of practical expedient on debt securities by other banking counterparts .
has opted for the low credit risk exemption provided by the principle on debt securities perimeter classified at AC or FVOCI .
Upon the application of the low credit risk exemption for debt securities, however, even if the Bank buys the same security at 2 different points in time, the stage allocation will be first of all assessed at security code level (i.e. ISIN code/Unit of Account level). At the same time also LLP will be calculated on aggregated level, based on the average price used for carrying value calculation.
The stage allocation approach for debt securities requires assessing whether the debt security is investment grade or not.
If the debt security is Investment Grade, then all the positions shall be allocated in Stage 1.
If the debt security is Not Investment Grade, considering that the legacy system which manages debt securities may not be the same across all Legal Entities in the Group, with a different granularity level of information available, the Bank must assess its local capacity to apply the "regular" Transfer Logic approach applied to Loans perimeter (on rated portfolio). In particular:
- a) if the Bank, given its current local legacy system and data availability, can retrieve and distinguish the inception date and the inception PD of each tranche, then the Bank shall apply for these debt securities the "regular" Transfer Logic applied on loans, assessed at single Transaction level;
- b) if, given its current local legacy system and data availability, cannot retrieve and distinguish the PD at inception by each tranche, but it's able to statistically demonstrate that in the majority of cases the tranches for each debt security (at security code level) are purchased within a short time frame, so that they all have almost the same inception PD, the Bank is allowed to apply the "regular" Transfer Logic applied on loans, but assessed at Security Code level (instead of at Tranche level);
- c) if, given its current local legacy system and data availability, cannot apply neither of the two cases described above, then all the positions shall be allocated in Stage 2;
Option a) is the one currently applied within the model used by the Bank.
When applying the low credit risk exemption, it should be highlighted that in case the Bank has already assessed through group internal rating models the riskiness (rating/PD) of the security counterpart (issuer), the Bank will

use the internally measured PD mapped into the Group Master-Scale to assess the Stage allocation. On the other hand, if an internal rating is not available, the Bank will use the one available and provided by external agencies.
Credit spread sensitivity
Credit spread sensitivity is calculated by assuming of creditworthiness seen in a parallel shift of +1bp in the credit spread curves.
These sensitivities are calculated both inclusively, assuming a parallel shift of all the credit spread curves, and in respect of specific rating classes and economic sectors.

Stress test
Stress tests complement the sensitivity analysis and VaR results in order to assess the potential risks in a different way. A stress test performs the evaluation of a portfolio under both simple scenarios (assuming change to single risk factors) and complex scenarios (assuming simultaneous changes in a number of risk factors).
The description of the scenarios, which combine changes in interest rate, price, exchange-rate and credit spread risk factors is as follows:
W-Recovery:
It is assumed that Europe will face a further wave of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021, while the US will have to deal with a persistently high number of infections that will force the new administration to introduce tight restrictions to mobility and business activity. Economies start reopening in spring 2021 as milder weather conditions allow governments to relax some of the containment measures. However, the roll-out of vacines is slower than assumed in the baseline scenario, initially due to bottlenecks in the process and, later on, because a relatively large share of the population is reluctant to get their shot. Therefore, herd immunity is only reached towards the end of the three-year forecasting horizon. Given these assumptions, the COVID-19 crisis dampens private demand by more than assumed in the baseline scenario, and scarring effects are larger. Governments will continue to push ahead with expansionary policies to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to preserve social

stability. The ECB is expected to remain in the market with the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme ('PEPP') and targeted longer-term refinancing operations ('TLTRO') with generous conditions throughout 2023. This allows preserving generally financial conditions despite the further build-up of debt in the public and private sectors.
After contracting by about 7.5% in 2020, Eurozone GDP would increase by 1.5% in 2021 (-3.5pp compared to baseline), followed by an expansion of 3% in 2022 (+0.3pp) and 2.1% in 2023 (-0.1pp). By the end of 2023, Eurozone GDP would remain below its pre-crisis level.
W-Recovery trade and sovereign tensions:
It is assumed that Europe will face a further wave of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021, while the US will have to deal with a persistently high number of infections that will force the new administration to introduce tight restrictions to mobility and business activity. The roll-out of vaccines takes longer and is substantially less effective than assumed in the baseline scenario, possibly due to bottlenecks in the production and distribution process, virus mutations, short-lived immunity, and a relatively high number of adverse reactions that make a large share of the population reluctant to get their shot. Given these assumptions, the COVID-19 crisis dampens private demand significantly more severely and for longer than in the baseline scenario. In turn, this causes meaningful scarring effects. Governments will have no choice but to continue to push ahead with strongly expansionary policies to mitigate the pace of job-shedding, to slow the rise in corporate defaults and to preserve social stability. The ECB is expected to remain in the market with the PEPP and TLTRO with generous conditions throughout the three-year horizon. Despite ongoing large-scale ECB intervention, the further build-up of public sector debt and prospects of a slow recovery put downward pressure on the sovereign rating of the weakest Eurozone countries. It is assumed that at least one rating agency downgrades Italy in the first part of 2021, although not to junk territory.
In this context, after contracting by about 7.5% in 2020, Eurozone GDP would stagnate in 2021 (-5pp compared to baseline), followed by an expansion of only 1.5% in 2022 (-1.2pp) and 2.0% in 2023 (-0.2pp). By the end of 2023, no Eurozone country would recover its pre-crisis level of economic activity.
Potential reductions in term of Market Risk positions resulting from these stress tests scenarios are estimated below·

The principal risk within the banking book is Interest Rate Risk, which is the risk that the market value of positions decreases due to unfavourable interest rate movements. In particular there are the following sources of this type of risk:
- Re-pricing Risk, driven by re-pricing mismatches between asset and liabilities, in case of interest rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate rate ra in the banking book;
- Yield curve risk, related to the changes in the slope and shape of the yield curve;
- Basis risk, related to the imperfect correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments with otherwise similar repricing characteristics;
- Optionality, related to the additional source of interest rate risk arises from the options embedded in many bank assets, liabilities, and off balance sheet (OBS) portfolios.
Interest rate risk measurement includes:
- Net Interest Income analysis: this involves a constant balance sheet analysis (assuming constant balance sheet positions during the period) and then performing an impact simulation on interest income for the current period. The simulation includes the analysis of the impact on income from different parallel shocks of interest rates (+100bp, -30bps and ±200bps). Additional scenarios are performed to take into account basis risk and non-parallel shifts.
- Economic Value analysis: this includes the calculation of duration measures, value sensitivities of the balance sheet for different points on the curve, as well as the impact on the Economic Value from larger shocks. The interest rate risk is monitored daily in terms of Economic Value sensitivity for an instantaneous and parallel shock of +1 basis point value of the interest rate term structure. On a monthly basis the Economic Value sensitivity for larger parallel (±200bps) and non-parallel shocks (steepening, flattening, etc. in line with European Banking Authority guidelines on Supervisory Outlier Testing) in the interest rate term structure and Net Interest Income Sensitivity are measured.
The Interest Rate risk on the banking book is measured and monitored using Value at Risk (VaR) which is the statistical measure used by the Bank to quantify fluctuations (profit or loss) in the value of a portfolio over a predefined period of time (called holding period) of 1 day and with a 99% confidence interval. The VaR model is based on historical behaviour using 250 scenarios and thereby without parametric assumptions about a priori statistical distribution of the portfolio value movements. Based on the risk factor scenarios, the VaR will vary with the market conditions, even though the portfolio does not change. This approach involves the construction of the hypothetical distribution of the yields (profit or losses) of a portfolio of financial instruments directly by means of the historical fluctuations of the market prices. Once the empirical distribution of profit/losses has been calculated, the VaR is given by the percentile evaluation with the selected confidence interval. Sensitivity (BPV and CPV) and VaR metrics capture the market risk exposures on Banking Book portfolio, with relative limits set up on both sensitivities and VaR.
Hedging strategies, aimed at complying with interest rate risk limits set for banking book, are carried out with derivative contracts by the Bank. Interest rate swaps specifically are the most commonly used contracts. The hedges used are one-to-one type contracts, i.e. connected to monetary amounts contained in asset or liability portfolios. The majority of specific accounting hedges are recognised in connection with securities in issue or individual financial assets, most commonly assets held as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The below table shows the total VaR of the Company which includes interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit risk factor scenarios.

It is the responsibility of the local 'Assets and Liability Committee' (ALCO), to ensure all market risks are identified and assessed. The Bank's ALCO has the responsibility over all market risks, by approving the triggers and limits over the Sensitivity and Value at Risk (VaR) levels, at both a Bank level and sub portfolio level and reviewing the measurement results. The Bank's Risk Department might propose to the ALCO any sub-allocation of limits to individual desk or cluster of portfolios.
Management of Market Risk - Derivative financial instruments
Hedging Policy
The Company uses the following derivatives instruments for both hedging and non-hedging purposes:
- Cross currency forward instruments which represent commitments to purchase foreign and domestic currency, including undelivered spot transactions.
- Currency and interest rate swaps which are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another.
Swaps result in an economic exchange of currencies or interest rates (i.e. fixed rate for floating rate) or a combination of these (i.e. cross currency swaps). The Company's credit risk represents the potential cost to replace the swap contracts if counterparties fail to perform their obligation. This risk is monitored on an ongoing basis with reference to the current fair value, the notional amount of the contracts and liquidity of the market. To control the level of credit risk taken, the Company assesses counterparties using the same techniques used in its lending activities.
The notional amounts of certain types of financial instruments provide a basis for comparison with instruments recognised on the balance sheet, but do not indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair value of the instruments, and therefore do not indicate the Company's exposure to credit or price risks. Derivative instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. The aggregate contractual or notional amount of derivatives on hand, the extent to which instruments are favourable, and thus the aggregate fair values of derivative financial assets and liabilities, can significantly fluctuate from time to time.
The fair values of derivative contracts are accounted in the following items:
- 20 Assets Financial assets held for trading (for economic non-IAS 39 hedging derivatives)
- -
- 20 Liabilities Financial liabilities held for trading (for economic non-IAS 39 hedging derivatives)
- -
IAS 39 Hedge accounting
The Company's policy is to use hedge accounting in order to hedge the interest risk for liabilities, loans and receivables and for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
All hedging derivatives entered into seek to replicate each essential element of the liability or asset to be hedged

(Amount, payment dates, maturity and rates/structured rates). Hedging derivatives are defined including, if existing, "pull to par" effects, to "transform" the associated bond or asset into a "synthetic" market floating rate position with a nominal amount equivalent to par (100%).
Macro/micro hedging strategies are also used and they may also refer to the interest rate risk of the core portion of financial assets.
To the extent that changes in the fair value of the hedging derivatives differ from changes in the fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item or the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging derivative differs from the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item, the hedge is ineffective. The amount of ineffectiveness, (taking into account the timing of the expected cash flows, where relevant) provided it is not so great as to disqualify the entire hedge accounting, is recorded in the income statement. Changes in fair value of the hedged item (i.e. bonds) must be measured with using EURIBOR discount curves while the hedging instruments (i.e. derivatives) are required to be measured with a using overnight indexed swap ("OIS") discount curves for collateralized derivatives, resulting in ineffectiveness being recorded in the income statement.
The Company has begun an analysis to identify relevant positions and transition to alternative benchmark rates or alternative near risk-free reference rates ("RFRs) where necessary. This process is expected to be completed in 2021 for EUR LIBOR and by June 2023 for USD LIBOR. The Company completed a ESTR trade in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Company has 18 interest rate swaps based on either EUR or USD LIBOR and which are used as hedging instruments for 2 Italian sovereign bond investments. The Company expects to transition these trades to RFRs or EURIBOR before the publication of the LIBOR will cease at the end 2021 (EUR LIBOR) and June 2023 (USD LIBOR).
The Company has assessed the extent of risk exposure resulting from interest rate benchmark reform and related amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, including the potential accounting consequences of amending the contractual terms of the hedging instrument and the related impact on the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company has not noted any material pre-replacement issues in 2020 in relation to the replacement of LIBOR. The Company does expect material replacement issues related to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 disclosures in 2021 as a result of the expected replacement of these 18 interest rate swaps during 2021.
In certain instances, cash flow hedging strategies are also used as an alternative to fair value hedging strategies in order to stabilize income statement profits in the current and future financial years. The Company had no cash flow hedges during 2020 or 2019.
The following types of financial instruments have been designated as hedging instruments:
- interest rate swaps;
- cross currency swaps; and
- foreign exchange swap forwards.
Consistency of all essential contractual elements in a hedging instrument seeks to ensure full effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The consistency is:
- initially verified at the beginning of the hedge relationship; and
- periodically verified through retrospective hedge effectiveness testing

E-MARKET CERTIFIE

Economically hedge derivatives
The Company's policy is also to hedge all interest risk positions of the Company even though formal hedge accounting is not in place. Economic hedges are related to all assets and liabilities of the Company which are not at a specific risk free cash or Eonia curve.
For this purpose the following types of financial instruments have been designated as economically hedging instruments:
- interest rate swap;
- cross currency swaps;
- eonia swaps.
Sensitivity Analysis and Stress Testing -Independent Price Verification Process
In this respect, further to the market turmoil following the sub-prime mortgages' meltdown and the subsequent uncertainties in the valuation of most of the structured credit products, the Group Market risk function in a joint effort with Risk management functions at UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. and all other Legal Entities established to:
- centralise the Independent Price Verification (IPV) process for such products in the risk control function of UniCredit Bank AG, London Branch, which has been elected as the group"s "competence centre" for the evaluation of credit products, i.e. ABS, CDO, CLO, CDO of ABS etc which represent the various sectors;
- each single position according to the availability and reliability of available price sources. As a consequence, all such positions have been treated and valued on a consistent basis across the group;
- define and develop a proper methodology to apply specific fair value adjustments to such valuations. The chosen approach is essentially based on the above ranking of price sources and define specific stress tests for market valuations, the wider the less reliable is the ranking through their respective sensitivity to a one-notch downgrade;
- the whole process has been shared and developed within the framework of the established cooperation model between all CRO (Chief Risk Officer) functions either at the Group as well as UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. level and the Group and UniCredit Bank Ireland's CFO (Chief Financial Officer) functions, responsible for the accounting treatment of such valuations and adjustments.
Section 10 - Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of losses due to errors, infringements, interruptions, damages caused by internal processes or personnel or systems or caused by external events. This definition includes legal and compliance risks, but excludes strategic and reputational risk. For example, losses arising from the following can be defined as operational: internal or external fraud, employment practices and workplace safety, client claims, products distribution, fines and penalties due to regulation breaches, damage to the company's physical assets, business disruption, system failures and process management.
UniCredit Bank Ireland monitors operational risk exposure in accordance with UniCredit Group policies and procedures which aim to assure the effectiveness of control over operational risk, the reduction of operational risk losses and introduction of risk mitigation measures for the Bank. UniCredit Bank Ireland has been approved for Pillar I purposes to use the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) to Operational Risk. With AMA the capital requirement is calculated with the Bank's internal operational risk measurement model, based on the four quantitative elements: internal and external loss data, scenario analysis and key risk indicators.
During 2020 and 2019 the Bank didn't suffer any material operational risk loss events and we don't foresee any changes in our operational risk profile over the next year.
Section 11 - Fair Value Disclosures
IFRS 7 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by the source of inputs, using the following three level hierarchies:
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Fair Value Disclosure by Valuation Hierarchy Level as at 31 December 2019
*Carried at Fair Value on the Statement of Financial Position
During the financial year no financial assets and financial liabilities were considered Level 3. There have been no transfers between the levels during the year.
Although the Company believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value.
Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, Hedging Derivatives Assets and Liabilities and Trading Derivatives Assets and Liabilities are valued at fair value using either quoted prices or observable inputs. Loans and Receivable Assets, Deposit Liabilities and Debt in Issue are valued at amortised cost. For the purposes of the Fair Value Disclosure we used either quoted prices or observable inputs in order to arrive at a fair value for Loans and Receivable Assets, Deposit Liabilities and Debt in Issue.

The impact of deterioration in valuations related to asset item 30 financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income will result in item liability item 110 revaluation reserves through the OCL reducing by an equivalent amount. The deterioration will not result in an impact in the income statement other than when the financial asset is disposed. Due to the interest rate risk hedging strategies used by the Company in relation to financial assets classified under asset item 30 financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the combined fair value movement of the hedged item and hedging instrument due to unfavourable interest rate movements in item 110 revaluation reserves through the OCI will be offset.
Due to the application of hedge accounting the impact of deterioration related asset item 50 Hedging derivatives will result in the hedged item (financial liability) carrying value reducing by an equivalent amount. The deterioration will not result in an impact in the income statement other than when the hedged financial liability is disposed.

Part F: Description of payment agreements based on parent equity instruments
Eligible Group executives that are employed directly by UniCredit Bank Ireland may be included in the Group Executive Incentive System. The Group Executive Incentive System is managed at Group level and any expense related to the outstanding instruments are allocated to the Group entity at which the Group executive is directly employed.
Outstanding instruments
UniCredit Banking Group's Medium & Long Term Incentive Plan for selected employees include Equity-Settled Share Based Payments.
Equity-Settled Share Based Payments includes the following:
- Group Executive Incentive System (Bonus Pool) that offer to eligible Group executives and relevant employees identified following regulatory rules, a bonus structure composed by upfront (following the moment of performance evaluation) and deferred payments in cash and in shares, to be paid over a period of ranging from 1 to 6 years. This payment structure will guarantee the alignment to shareholder interest and will be subjected to Group malus (which applies in case specific profitability, capital and liquidity thresholds are not met at both Group and country/division level) and individual malus/claw back conditions (as legally enforceable) according to the plan rules (both non-market vesting conditions);
It is also noted that the equity-settled share based payments, represented by deferred payments in UniCredit S.p.A ordinary shares not subject to vesting conditions, are used for the so-called golden parachute (e.g. severance) for the relevant employees.
As at 31 December 2020, €0.36 million (31 December 2019: €0.18 million) in equity-settled based payments are outstanding towards UniCredit S.p.A and €0.16 million (31 December 2019: €0.15 million) in cash-settled share based payments are outstanding towards employees.
Measurement model
Group Executive Incentive System (Bonus pool)
The economic value of performance shares is measured considering the share market price at the grant date less the present value of the future dividends during the vesting period.
Economic and net equity effects will be accrued on a basis of instruments' vesting period.
Group Executive Incentive System "Bonus pool 2019" – Shares
The plan is divided into clusters, each of which can have three or four installments of share-based payments spread over a period defined according to plan rules.

Part G: Segmental Reporting
The Company has only one main class of business, which is the provision of financing facilities, which is carried out from its sole office in Ireland.
IFRS 8 requires entity wide disclosures about product and services and about geographical areas. It also requires a disclosure about the extent of the Company's reliance on major external customers. If revenues from transactions with a single external customer amount to 10 per cent or more of an entity's revenues, this fact must be disclosed. Detail regarding revenues by product type can be found in the income statement notes for Item 10 and Item 200.
The Company does not have a customer whose revenue exceeds 10% as at 31 December 2020. The Company had one customer whose revenue exceeds 10% as at 31 December is UniCredit S.p.A. and fellow subsidiaries. Total revenues for this customer amounted to €1.6 million as at 31 December 2019: €41.7 million). Included in revenue relating to UniCredit S.p.A are Interest Income and Fees and Commission Income. The decrease in total revenues related to this customer is mostly due to the levels of remuneration (including negative rate related remuneration) received in relation to UniCredit S.p.A Loans and Receivables held by The Company falling year on year.
The Company has two segments Corporate & Investment Banking ('CIB') and Group Corporate Centre. The general criteria of the Segmentation is to report our revenues derived from portfolios under CIB, incorporating third party assets and short term funding, with Group Corporate Centre revenues derived from group assets and medium term liabilities. The chief operating decision maker of both segments is the Managing Director of the Company.

Part H: Transfer of Financial Assets
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into transactions that result in the transfer of financial assets that consist primarily of debt securities, and loans and receivables with customers. The transferred financial assets continue to be recognised in their entirety.
The Bank transfers financial assets primarily through the following transactions:
- sale and repurchase agreements;
- securities lending agreements.
Sale and repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Bank sells a security and simultaneously agrees to repurchase it (or an asset that is substantially the same) at a fixed price on a future date. The Bank continues to recognise the securities in their entirety in the balance sheet because it retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. As the Bank has agreed to repurchase the sold security it remains exposed to fluctuations in the fair value of the sold securities. The collateral pledged to third parties can be used in the event of the Bank's default and non-repayment of the Banks related liabilities with each counterparty, in order to offset each counterparty's exposure to the Bank.
The table below sets out an overview of carrying amounts related to transferred financial assets that are not derecognized;

Securities lending agreements are transactions in which the Bank lends or borrows securities for a fee. For securities loaned the Bank continues to recognise the securities in their entirety in the balance sheet because it retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. For securities borrowed the securities remain off balance sheet as substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred.
The Company has nil (31 December 2019: nil) in securities lending transactions and €0.55 billion (31 December 2019: €0.20 billion) in securities borrowing. These transactions supported collateral requirements for the bank funding operation. These transactions were entered into in order to take advantage of different national funding platforms and rules within the European Union.
