Focused on delivering sustainable profitability and capital distributions with unwavering commitment to the ambitions of UniCredit Unlocked
Re-empowered commercial engine driving excellent net revenue growth of 6.8 per cent year on year or 14.6 per cent excluding the one-off impact of TLTRO III, paired with strong cost discipline, leading to positive operating leverage and €1.7 billion net profit including Russia or €1.3 billion net profit3 , excluding Russia4

Russia4 exposures further reduced with focus on progressive de-risking

Proactive enhancement of existing robust lines of defence and with overlays, up circa €0.3 billion to circa €1.3 billion, with vigilant approach on risk and macro developments; low Cost of Risk at 7 basis points including Russia or 20 basis points excluding Russia
Good commercial dynamics, a favourable interest rate environment and cost discipline leading to further improved 2022 guidance5 for a net profit of over €4.8 billion for the year, excluding Russia

The Group is well ahead on UniCredit Unlocked targets with strong environmental lending at €8.2 billion and social lending at €3.3 billion as at 9M22
On 25 October 2022, the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. ("UniCredit" or "the Group") approved the 3Q22 and 9M22 Consolidated Results as at 30 September 2022.
The record breaking quarter is clear evidence of a transformed UniCredit, demonstrating ongoing commercial momentum within the business and a strong capital position to protect against macroeconomic uncertainty.
Excluding the impact of Russia, the Group continued to deliver compelling revenue growth with client driven activities and interest rate dynamics more than offsetting the negative one off effect from TLTRO III and the impact of market volatility on fees, resulting in €4.2 billion net revenues, an increase of 6.8 per cent year on year. Excluding the negative one-off impact of the TLTRO III, the group delivered €4.6 billion net revenues, a 14.6 per

cent increase year on year. This reflects high risk-adjusted returns across all regions, underpinned by the year on year increase in net interest income ("NII") to €2.2 billion, and by lower Loan Loss Provisions ("LLPs"), supported by solid asset quality. The net profit was €1.3 billion, resulting in healthy organic capital generation of 42 basis points.
Excluding Russia, 3Q22 operational costs were reduced by 3.1 per cent year on year, demonstrating the Group's discipline in structurally managing the cost base while protecting revenue generation.
The sound capital position is reflected in a CET1 ratio of 15.41 per cent which already deducts the second tranche of the 2021 share buyback of €1.0 billion, and which fulfils the €3.75 billion 2021 shareholder distribution commitment. The high organic capital generation of 158 basis points in the first nine months of the year, well ahead of the plan, is proof of the Group's strong operational and improving capital efficiency. The continuing financial momentum creates a base for delivering a 2022 distribution in line with or better than 20216 , while maintaining a robust CET1 ratio.
The Group is well positioned in a period of macroeconomic uncertainty with its sound CET1 ratio, a profitable business model combining a capital light focus and solid asset quality. This has been further strengthened by early and proactive enhancement of existing strong lines of defense, such as high provisioning levels, reinforcement of existing overlays on performing exposures at circa €1.3 billion and a rigorous risk approach, strengthening the Group's capacity to absorb macroeconomic shocks.
UniCredit has a robust loan portfolio characterized by a large majority investment grade exposures, a low percentage of high risk exposure7 and a stable low expected loss in its overall loan stock, as well as the lowest default rate in its history. This is further bolstered by a vigilant approach to new business and an improved nonperforming exposures ("NPE") coverage ratio driven by positive mix effect and NPE disposals to preserve the asset quality from potential macro deterioration in the event of a mild or severe recession.
Russia cross-border exposure has been reduced overall 50 per cent to circa €3.1 billion8 at minimal cost, through proactive and disciplined actions. UniCredit is committed to maintaining a progressive de-risking approach.
Cost of Risk ("CoR"), excluding Russia, at 20 basis points, is well below guidance and the full year 2022 guidance is improved to circa 25 basis points5 .
On the back of an improved interest rate environment, low cost of risk and better than expected cost reduction, UniCredit has improved its financial guidance for 20225 , and expects to end the year with revenues above €17.4 billion and net profit exceeding €4.8 billion, excluding Russia.
The UniCredit Unlocked 2024 financial ambitions of average annual organic capital generation of 150 basis points, incremental net revenue of circa €1.1 billion and a RoTE of circa 10.0 per cent are confirmed. Positive results are already being delivered by combining the three levers of net revenues, costs and capital efficiency. The third quarter RoTE, excluding Russia, of 11.4 per cent already exceeds that of the 2024 target. The Bank continues its focus on the execution of the 2022-2024 strategic and industrial transformation plan to fully unlock the value of UniCredit and is committed to delivering attractive and sustainable results and returns, with the ambition of returning at least €16 billion to shareholders by 20246 . In the event of a severe recession the impact would be meaningful but the Group would expect to be in a position to able to honour the majority of its 2022-2024 distribution ambition6 .

Key recent events include the following:

- Execution of following actions as part of the industrial transformation:
- o Simplification of the bancassurance agreement with CNP in Italy, increasing strategic flexibility

Andrea Orcel, Chief Executive Officer of UniCredit S.p.A. :
"UniCredit has delivered yet again an outstanding set of financial results. This is our seventh consecutive quarter of growth, and the best nine-month results in over a decade. We are well ahead of target, despite a prudent build up of lines of defence. UniCredit Unlocked is delivering: our industrial transformation is well underway, our results recurrently positive, and we are further improving our full year 2022 guidance.
In the first nine months of the year, we reached a record net profit of €4.0 billion, excluding Russia (€3.8 billion overall), beating full year 2021, demonstrating growth, higher risk-adjusted profitability and greater capital efficiency in each and every business. The step change in our operational excellence is the outcome of good commercial dynamics, a favourable interest rate environment, continued cost discipline, a low cost of risk, and most importantly the commitment and work of our employees, allowing us to further improve our full year 2022 guidance to a net profit exceeding €4.8 billion. This, combined with the marked enhancement in our capital efficiency allows us to also improve our full year 2022 guidance for organic capital generation to exceed 200 basis points.
Our CET ratio of 15.41 per cent remains best in class and includes absorbing regulatory headwinds meeting our full 2021 distribution commitment to shareholders of €3.75 billion, and accruing €1.4 billion for the 2022 dividend.
UniCredit has entered this period of macroeconomic uncertainty with a profitable business model, sound asset quality, conservative coverage, increased organic capital generation and strong capital. We continued taking early actions to proactively enhance our existing lines of defence, reinforcing our rock-solid foundations. We are facing an uncertain future with confidence.
We believe it is equally important to be socially responsible as well as financially successful. Therefore, we continue to support our clients and those communities in which we operate in these challenging times. They are who we ultimately exist to serve, and who we must have in mind throughout all of our actions.
We are committed to executing our 2024 strategic plan to unlock the value of our Group. I am confident that UniCredit is well positioned to manage through whatever economic environment we face, delivering strong results and prudent capital distribution, as well as value for all our stakeholders across Europe."

Note: For 9M21: Group excluding Russia net profit excludes the regulatory headwinds impact on CoR (-€85 m in 2Q21 and -€52 m in 3Q21), revaluation of real estate (+€4 m in 1Q21, +€18 m in 2Q21 and +€4 m in 3Q21); furthermore it is net by AT1 (-€24 m in 1Q21, -€136 m in 2Q21 and -€24 m in 3Q21) and cashes coupon (-€29 m in 1Q21).
For 9M22: Group excluding Russia net profit excludes DTA write-up from TLCF (+€11 m in 2Q22), DTA write-off from TLCF (-€4 m in 2Q22); furthermore it is net by AT1 (-€149 m in 2Q22) and cashes coupons (-€27 m in 2Q22 and -€29 m in 3Q22).
Total revenues stood at €4.5 bn in 3Q22, up 0.2 per cent Q/Q thanks to higher trading income (+43.8 per cent Q/Q), partially offset by NII (-3.2 per cent Q/Q) and fees (-4.4 per cent Q/Q); and up 4.5 per cent Y/Y, with strong NII trend (+4.8 per cent Y/Y) as well as trading (+60.0 per cent Y/Y), partially offset by a slowdown in fees (-1.8 per cent Y/Y).
Net revenues reached €4.2 bn in 3Q22, down 2.4 per cent Q/Q and up 6.8 per cent Y/Y.
In 3Q22, NII stoodat €2.2 bn, down 3.2 per cent Q/Q and up 4.8 per cent Y/Y. The Q/Q trend is negatively impacted by the one-off TLTRO III contribution. Net of the €0.3 bn TLTRO III one-off, NII trend is up 10.4 per cent Q/Q with all regions and divisions benefiting from higher volumes, and higher customer rates, reflecting the market interest rates increase, jointly with a good performance of Treasury & Markets.
On a stated NII basis the Q/Q growth rate is positive in Italy and Eastern Europe, driven by higher loan customer rates and volumes, together with better results in Treasury & Markets, particularly in the investment portfolio Italy. In Germany and Central Europe the trend is negative due to the negative TLTRO III one-off. Net of such oneoff Germany and Central Europe have a positive growth thanks to loan volumes and interest rate dynamics.
The Y/Y trend reflects positive trends in loans (higher volumes and upturn on rates) in all divisions with only Germany showing total NII decreasing Y/Y, affected by ELF on deposits termination.
Fees reflect a seasonal slowdown this quarter, down 4.4 per cent Q/Q with a resilient performance at €1.6 bn, down 1.8 per cent Y/Y, mainly due to a decline in investment fees, partially offset by high transactional activity and related fees. Fees remain resilient, despite elevated market volatility, demonstrating the positive benefit of the diversification of the fee base. In particular:
- − Investment fees generated €0.6 bn, down 11.4 per cent Q/Q due to lower AuM upfront fees, mainly in Italy, lower management fees and lower AuC fees. Investment fees were down 10.4 per cent Y/Y mainly due to lower AuM upfront fees (lower placements mainly in Italy) and negative market effect impacting the average volumes, partially mitigated by better AUC fees (mainly in Italy and Germany);
- − Financing fees stood at €0.4 bn, down 4.3 per cent, due to lower loan fees in Italy and Germany; financing fees down 0.6 per cent Y/Y from a decline of Advisory & capital market fees (mostly related to equity market);

− Transactional fees were robust in 3Q22 and generated €0.6 bn, up 3.3 per cent Q/Q as a result of better card fees (primarily in Italy and Eastern Europe) and up 7.5 per cent Y/Y, driven by better card fees in Italy and Eastern Europe and payment fees in Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe.
Trading income stood at €518 m in 3Q22, up 43.8 per cent Q/Q reflecting, within the non-client driven trading, a positive contribution from Treasury and the lack of a negative item absorbed in 2Q22 from strategic FX hedging, partially offset by -€44 m client driven components (within that positive trend in Fixed income currency & commodities linked to hedging needs, offset by negative trend in Equity and Brokerage Trading). Trading income was up 60.0 per cent Y/Y driven by strong corporate demand for hedging products especially in Germany and bond revaluation.
Operating costs stood at €2.3 bn in 3Q22 up 0.8 per cent Q/Q, resilient against significant inflationary pressure, and down 3.1 per cent Y/Y. In particular:
- − HR costs were €1.4 bn in 3Q22, up 1.0 per cent Q/Q, mainly driven by Germany; and down 3.9 per cent Y/Y as a result of FTE reduction mainly in Central Europe, Italy and Germany;
- − Non HR costs were €0.9 bn in 3Q22, up 0.5 per cent Q/Q, due to higher IT related expenses mainly supporting Digital investments and down 1.9 per cent Y/Y thanks to lower consulting & professional services.
CoR, at 20 bps in 3Q22, up 10 bps Q/Q and down 8 bps Y/Y, stood well below guidance. This was sustained by a continued positive development of the low default rate, preserving low NPE inflows, as well as repayments on NPEs. The Group increased the amount of overlays on performing exposures Q/Q reaching circa €1.3 billion, with new additional overlays for geopolitical risks mainly in Italy and Germany. This substantially reinforces the Group's capacity to absorb any spill-over effects.
Systemic charges in 3Q22 stood at €260 m, an increase Q/Q due to the Deposit Guarantee Scheme ("DGS") seasonality and to the bank levy on extra profits booked in Hungary; Y/Y systemic charges were up by 32.5 per cent due to the bank levy booked in Hungary.
The 3Q22 Group stated Tax Rate excluding Russia, stood at 18.9 per cent, positively affected by tax effects originated in 1Q22 in Italy.
Net profit stood at €1.3 bn in 3Q22, down 9.9 per cent Q/Q and up 31.1 per cent Y/Y.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The growth outlook is deteriorating. After likely subdued growth of 2.7 per cent this year, we forecast global GDP rising by only 1.9 per cent next year. The latter would de-facto be a global recession. The weakening reflects tighter financial conditions, surging energy bills in Europe and reduced economic momentum across the US and Europe.
In the euro area, GDP growth is likely to average approx. 3 per cent this year and to come to a standstill in 2023 (at 0.2 per cent), while a return to growth above 1 per cent starting from 2024 is expected. The latest survey indicators point to a further weakening of growth momentum and a rising likelihood of a recession at the turn of the year. Despite easing supply-side bottlenecks, pressure on the manufacturing activity is increasing with no sign of a turnaround any time soon. Meanwhile, the deterioration in services activity seems to be gathering pace amid an intensifying erosion of household purchasing power. Headline inflation is expected to hover around 10 per cent until year-end, before entering a downward trajectory in 2023. In Italy, we expect GDP to expand by 3.3 per cent in 2022, following strong growth of 6.7 per cent in 2021, while we see stagnating growth next year. We are penciling in a contraction in manufacturing output starting from 2H22. Moreover, the rebound observed in services activity, following the reopening of the economy, leaves little potential for economic activity to be further boosted in the coming quarters.
In terms of monetary policy, we see the deposit rate reaching 1.5 per cent in 4Q22. As policy rates rise towards, or above, the upper end of the neutrality range, the European Central Bank is likely to start looking at quantitative tightening (QT) as its next policy step.

Reclassified balance sheet and income statements items have been prepared pursuant to Banca d'Italia instructions laid down in Circular 262/2005 (and subsequent amendments) by applying the aggregations and reclassifications disclosed in Annex 1 of Consolidated first half financial report as at 30 June 2022 of UniCredit group and supplemented by the notes below the reclassified balance sheet and income statement of this document.
-
The contents of this Consolidated interim report as at 30 September 2022 - Press release are not prepared according to the international accounting standard on interim reporting (IAS34).
Furthermore, in addition to the financial information prepared by applying measurement criteria in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), this document contains alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Indicators (APIs) issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 15 (ESMA/2015/1415) and other information not based on-IFRS definitions, in order to provide further information about the Group's performance. The financial measures that qualify as APMs and additional information not based on IFRS definitions determined using information from UniCredit Group should be considered supplemental information to IFRS information and do not intend to substitute them. Furthermore, companies in our industry and others may calculate or use APIs and information not based on IFRS definitions differently, thus making them less useful for compare.
The description of such APIs (such as Cost/income ratio, EVA, RoTE, RoAC, Cost of risk, Net bad loans to customer/Loans to customers, Net non-performing loans to customers/Loans to customers, Absorbed capital, ROA) is included in the Consolidated first half financial report as at 30 June 2022 of UniCredit group (Consolidated interim report on operations and Annexes). Further APMs (i.e. Coverage ratio, Underlying RoTE) have been described in the 3Q22 market presentation.
- The Consolidated interim report as at 30 September 2022 - Press release, within which the accounts are presented in reclassified form, was prepared on the basis of IAS/IFRSs in force.
During 2022, the market environment was affected by a lower predictivity of the macro-economic projections arising from geopolitical tensions. Indeed, the outbreak of Russian-Ukrainian conflict, followed by the sanctions imposed to Russia, which reacted with counter sanctions, have increased the uncertainty around growth prospects, despite economic activities have resumed as a result of the lifting by governments of the measures put in place to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.
Indeed, the ECB Macro-economic Projections published in September 202221 report that, despite the better-thanexpected economic growth in the first half 2022 related to the effects of the reopening of the economy and a strong rebound in tourism, the economic consequences of the geopolitical crisis still caused uncertainty about the outlook for the euro area economy, also pushing up inflationary pressures.
In light of the above, specific analyses were performed in the third quarter of 2022 with the aim to evaluate whether the scenarios used as at 30 June 2022 for the purposes of the evaluation process of the main items subject to valuation uncertainties were still coherent with the current economic environment. The assessment also leveraged on the updated macro-economic scenario issued by UniCredit Research in September 2022.
21 ECB staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area, September 2022 (europa.eu).

- Starting from 31 December 2019, the calculation of the sustainability test methodology was updated by the Group considering appropriate a 10 years' time horizon, for the recognition of DTA arising from tax loss carrying forward deemed coherent for assessing the generation of sufficient taxable profit to be available against which tax assets can be utilized. As at 30 September 2022 the following analyses were performed with reference to the Italian Tax Perimeter (which accounts for the significant majority of the DTAs): (i) analysis of the evolution of the macroeconomic scenario for the period 2022-2024 compared to the scenario underlying the valuation process at 30 June 2022; (ii) comparison between the actual profit before taxes and the budget underlying the test executed in December 2021; (iii) confirmation of the validity of the additional methodological assumptions (reference tax legislation, perimeter of companies, volatility of the parameters underlying the model) used in the valuation process.
With specific reference to the macro-economic scenario the analysis highlighted that: (i) cumulated Italy GDP 21-24 is more in line with UniCredit Unlocked Downturn than baseline; (ii) higher interest rates are foreseen, thus representing a positive driver considering the positive correlation existing between net interest income and interest rates trend, more than balancing the increase in operating costs induced by higher inflation rates and the potential negative impact arising from the decrease of GDP.
According to the outcome of such analysis, no material changes that may lead to put in discussion the data, parameters and assumptions adopted for 30 June 2022 sustainability test, were highlighted.
It shall be noted that the outcome of the measurement is significantly influenced by assumptions about future cash flows, which - in turn - incorporate assumptions on the evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
Moreover, the sustainability of deferred tax assets is influenced by criteria and assumptions about the statistic model used for future taxable income projections, for the years following the explicit period, as well as the volatility of expected results and the confidence level used.
Therefore, the results of these evaluations might be subject to changes currently not foreseeable, depending on the existence and degree of economic recovery which in turn depends on (i) the evolution of the geopolitical tensions, the effects of sanctions imposed to Russia as well as (ii) the evolution of the pandemic. Possible deviations of the actual economic recovery, compared to the assumptions which form the basis of the evaluations, might require a redetermination of the parameters used for valuation purposes, in particular regarding the future cash flows, and the consequent change in the valuation.
- With reference to the credit exposures, the update of macroeconomic scenarios used for calculation of credit risk parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) occurs on a semi-annual basis (June and December), in accordance with the Group Policies.
However, in light of the evolution of the geopolitical environment as at 30 September 2022, a comparison between the scenarios used in the evaluation process of credit exposures as at 30 June 2022 and the updated macro-economic scenario released in September 2022 by UniCredit Research was performed. Considering the limited decrease in GDP evolution between the periods, the IFRS9 macro-economic scenario was not updated as at 30 September 2022.
Always with reference to credit exposures, a geopolitical overlay was recognized in specific geographies in 3Q2022 to reflect the increase in credit risk arising from the soaring in energy price, inflation and increase in interest rate applied. Furthermore in 3Q2022 the existing Supply Chain overlay was reviewed considering the risks stemming from the Russian Gas stoppage and energy crises.
It should be noted that, the amount of loan loss provisions is determined by considering the classification - current and expected - of credit exposures as non-performing, the sale prices (for those non-performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external counterparties), and credit risk parameters which - in accordance with IFRS9 - incorporate, among other factors, forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macroeconomic scenario. Therefore, also in this case, the measurement is affected by the already mentioned degree of uncertainty on (i) the evolution of the geopolitical tensions, the effects of sanctions imposed to Russia as well as (ii) the evolution of the pandemic.

Indeed, the evolution of these factors might require the classification of additional credit exposures as non-performing in future reporting periods, thus determining the recognition of additional loan loss provisions related to both these exposures as well as performing exposures following the potential update in credit risk parameters.
In addition, the need to adjust the loan loss provisions might derive from a macro-economic scenario different from the one estimated for the calculation of the credit risk parameters, or by the prevalence on the market of nonperforming exposures of prices different from those used in the measurement. Finally, the evolution of the real estate market could impact on the value of properties received as collateral and may require an adjustment to the loan loss provisions.
- With reference to the real estate portfolio, which starting from 31 December 2019 is measured at fair value, the evaluations through external appraisals are updated on a semi-annual basis in June and December, in accordance with Group policies. As at 30 September 2022, the Group performed an analysis on the real estate market and the status of the properties ("trigger analysis") aimed to evaluate whether the values determined as at 30 June 2022 were confirmed.
The trigger analysis performed did not reveal significant events causing impacts on the evaluation of real estate portfolio compared to 30 June 2022. Within next reporting periods, the fair value of these assets might be different from the values presented as at 30 September 2022 as a result of the possible evolution of prices of real estate market which will also depend on (i) the evolution of the geopolitical tensions, the effects of sanctions imposed to Russia as well as (ii) the evolution of the pandemic.
-
In addition to the above, the following additional Balance sheet items might be significantly affected in their evaluation by risks and uncertainties, even if not directly connected with the slow-down of the economic activity and the associated uncertainty level of the economic recovery:
-
fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
- severance pay and other employee's benefits (including defined benefit obligation);
- provisions for risks and charges.
While evaluations have been made on the basis of information deemed to be reasonable and supportable as at 30 September 2022, they might be subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Furthermore, the following factors, in addition to those illustrated above, might influence the future results of the Group and cause outcomes materially different from those deriving from the valuations: (i) general economic and industrial conditions of the regions in which the Group operates or holds significant investments; (ii) exposure to various market risks (e.g. foreign exchange risk); (iii) political instability in the areas in which the Group operates or holds significant investments; (iv) legislative, regulatory and tax changes, including regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, also taking into account increased regulation in response to the financial crisis. Other unknown and unforeseeable factors could determine material deviations between actual and expected results.

Since 2 March 2022 the ECB stopped the quotation of EUR/RUB exchange rate; for the preparation of the Consolidated interim report therefore, as at 30 September 2022 and in coherence with the first half of the year, the Group has applied an OTC foreign exchange rate provided by Electronic Broking Service22 (EBS). In this regard it cannot be excluded that, once the ECB will restart listing RUB/EUR FX rate, these quotes might be different from EBS quotes, thus requiring the recognition of an impact in Net Equity and in P&L.

According to UniCredit group accounting policy, the TLTRO III liabilities are recognised as banking book funding instruments to be subsequently measured at amortised cost according to IFRS9.4.2.1.
22 EBS is a wholesale electronic trading platform used to trade on the foreign exchange market (FX) with market-making banks. It is part of CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange).

The prospect for the borrowing bank to be charged of a variable negative interest on "long term refinancing operations", additional to the average Deposit Facility Rate ("DFR") or Main Refinancing Operation ("MRO") rate, is linked to the achievement of specific threshold on cumulative net lending toward eligible counterparties23 .
In particular, the financial conditions incorporated into TLTROs are reflecting ECB monetary policy initiatives to prospectively reduce market "cost of funding" for banking institutions by using "non-conventional" tools and reflected in money market operations.
As a result, accounting analysis rejected that such an interest would have been assimilated to either (i) a government grants (being ECB TLTRO a "limited access & banking specific" market by its own), or (ii) an embedded derivative.
Therefore, such contractual term must be seen as contractual clause included into a one-coupon floating-rate24 financial liability (the refinancing operation), and to be considered part of the calculation of the liability's interests according to IFRS9.
Under the said accounting standard, the interests shall be calculated by using the "effective interest method", that allocates interests over the application period of the "effective interest rate (EIR)". The latter is defined as the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instruments to the net carrying amount.
Accordingly, having introduced in March and December 2020 a new/prospective "performance-related" remuneration related to periods from June 2020 to June 2022, within the ECB, TLTRO "market" specific financial features are handled similarly to changes in market-index for floating-rate liabilities.
Therefore, referencing EIR rules for "markets-driven" variable remunerations, changes in "market index" (e.g., base rate and spread) are reflected by adjusting instruments' carrying amount calculated by reference to the evolution of the "TLTRO index" and limited to the accrued (to-date) portion25 .
It should be noted that the current IAS/IFRS lacks a specific guidance on accounting for TLTRO instruments. Indeed, on 16 February 2021, ESMA informed the Market that a letter26 requiring an official position by IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) about the TLTRO III accounting treatment would have been issued. In June 2021, IFRIC replied without providing clear guidance on the topics raised by ESMA; in particular, questions related to the effective interest rate and the consequence of the modification in interest rate were referred to the "Post-Implementation Review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS9".
Therefore, the accounting treatment adopted by the Group, as described above, may be still subject in the future to different interpretations by the competent bodies.

Considering the current international geopolitical situation, already outlined in the previous paragraphs, the internal managerial reporting envisages the segregation of the business Russia, previously within Eastern Europe. In line with IFRS8 that requires application of a "through the eyes of the management" approach27, the Consolidated interim report as at 30 September 2022 - Press release continues to include the new Russian operating segment, in continuity with the previous quarters 2022.
-
Regarding the scope of consolidation, in the first nine months of 2022 the following changes occurred:
-
the number of fully consolidated companies, including those ones classified as non-current assets and asset disposal groups based on the accounting principle IFRS5, decreases for 40 (3 in and 43 out) changing from 407, at the end of 2021, to 367 as at 30 September 2022;
- the number of companies consolidated by using the equity method, including those ones classified as non-current assets and asset disposal groups, is 29, unchanged from the end of 2021 to September 2022.
23 Loans to non-financial corporations & Loans to households, excluding loans for house purchase.
24 Either for the base rate (Avg DFR or Avg MRO) and the spread (up to -50bps with a minimum of -1per cent for a portion of the liability's expected duration). 25 Similarly, to other "market indexed" variable rate notes.
26 Link: https://www.esma.europa.eu/press-news/esma-news/esma-submits-ifrs-9-and-ias-20-related-questions-ifrs-interpretations-committee.
27 IFRS8 requires that the identification of operating segments and measurement of disclosed segment information shall reflect how the entity is steered, and therefore
it shall be based on internal management reports.

-
As at 30 September 2022, the main assets which, based on the application of IFRS5 accounting principle, were reclassified as non-current assets and asset disposal groups, regard the following individual asset and liability held for sale and groups of assets held for sale and associated liabilities which do not satisfy IFRS5 requirements for the classification as discontinued operations:
-
the companies of the WealthCap group, the controlled companies BACA Cena Immobilien Leasing GmbH and UCTAM Svk S.R.O. and the associated companies Risanamento S.p.A. and CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A.;
