On 10 February 2025, the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. ("UniCredit" or "the Group") approved the 4Q24 and FY24 Consolidated Results as of 31 December 2024.
The Group's record-breaking performance in FY24 crowns our 16th consecutive quarter of sustainable profitable growth. This remarkable achievement reflects the significant trapped potential we have unlocked during the initial phase of UniCredit Unlocked: all the targets set were meaningfully surpassed across all regions, leveraging a unique pan European model: diversified fees and high-quality net revenue growth, high organic capital generation, strong RoTE, and generous total distributions. Even the cost target set in 2021 was met despite a much higher inflationary environment than originally envisaged. With this solid foundation in place, we are now ready to enter the next phase of acceleration from 2025 to 2027.
FY24 net profit at €9.3 billion with its 8.1 per cent increase versus prior year and FY24 stated net profit at €9.7 billion, a 2.2 per cent increase compared to the previous year, are evidence of a transformed UniCredit. FY24 net profit at €10.3 billion on an underlying basis, i.e. net profit not considering €1.3 billion extraordinary charges (gross of tax) due to integrations costs (€0.8 billion) to secure future profitability and RCA9 case full coverage.
This is further evidenced by the continued excellent profitability and shareholder value creation with a FY24 RoTE at 17.7%, or 20.9% on a 13% CET1 ratio, up by 1.1 percentage point versus prior year and EPS of €5.74 up almost 22 per cent versus prior year.
For the 16th consecutive quarter we delivered sustainable quality growth. In 4Q24, net revenues reached €5.6 billion, of which €2.0 billion of fees with a remarkable 8.9 per cent year-on-year growth. All fee categories were up versus prior year, reflecting our unwavering client focus and innovative product offering and the effectiveness of all the initiatives put in place so far.
Net interest income ("NII") increased by 1.1 per cent year-on-year to €3.7 billion, with a good discipline of deposit pass-through, at an average of 34%10 in 4Q24, only slightly up versus prior quarter. NII demonstrated once again its resilience, also thanks to the Group's prioritisation of quality and profitable clients and segments as well as the enlarged base of the new perimeter and treasury / ALM contribution.
In FY24 the Group confirmed its structurally low and stable Cost of Risk ("CoR") at 15 basis points. In 4Q24 CoR stood at an annualised 34 basis points, with loan loss provisions ("LLPs") amounting to €357 million. Our highquality, diversified credit portfolio remains resilient, supported by low non-performing exposures ("NPEs") with sound coverage levels and robust lines of defence, including circa €1.7 billion of overlays on performing loans, broadly unchanged versus prior quarter.
In 4Q24 operational costs were €2.5 billion, up 9.5 per cent quarter on quarter due to seasonality effect, or 1.3 per cent year-on-year mainly due to new collective labour agreements. For FY24 total costs were down by 0.6 per cent versus prior year to €9.4 billion despite inflationary pressure, demonstrating the effectiveness of our ongoing efforts to streamline operations and reduce the absolute cost base while strategically investing in future growth, resulting in an industry-leading cost/income ratio of 37.9%.
The Group's best-in class capital position is reflected in a CET1 ratio of 15.9%, resulting from a decrease of only 3 basis points compared to the previous year. This is underpinned by the sound organic capital generation during the quarter at 88 6 basis point, bringing the FY24 total at a record €12.6 billion6 , or 4446 basis points, significantly surpassing the target set under UniCredit Unlocked of 150 basis points. Furthermore, we demonstrated once again our discipline in managing our RWAs, down by 750 million quarter-on-quarter to €277.1 billion, or €275.5 billion when excluding the impact of strategic investments4 in 4Q24, thereby further enhancing our capital efficiency.

The Group introduced the FY25 financial guidance, ensuring that we continue to deliver strong returns to shareholders and setting the net profit guidance broadly in line with FY24. Net revenue is guided above €23 billion, with a moderate decline in FY25 NII, reflecting an expected lower interest rates environment and further compression of Russia. We expect FY25 fees to be up mid-single digit percentage point versus FY24, including the net insurance result. FY25 CoR guidance is circa 15 basis points including some expected usage of overlays. We expect operating expenses to be circa €9.6 billion reflecting the expanded perimeter of the Group, or slightly down year-on-year on a like-for-like perimeter, leading to a circa 40% cost/income ratio. Group RWAs are expected at circa €300 billion, reflecting "Basel IV" and other regulatory changes and strategic initiatives.
FY25 distributions11 are guided to be greater than FY24 with a cash dividend pay-out increased to 50% of net profit (from 40%). An interim FY25 cash dividend is expected to be paid in November 2025, amounting to 45% of the total expected FY25 cash dividend (increased from 40% in FY24). We remain strongly committed to delivering sustainable profitability, targeting a FY25 RoTE above 17%, alongside a strong growth in EPS and DPS.
We have set ambitions for 2027 of a net profit of circa €10 billion, coupled with RoTE above 17% and average FY25-27 organic capital generation broadly in line with net profit. All the above allows a FY25-27 yearly distributions 11 ambition greater than in FY24, of which cash dividends at 50% of net profit and additional distributions11 including the excess capital to a 12.5-13% CET1 ratio.
In line with the Net Zero Banking Alliance timeline, UniCredit has outlined its ambition for seven of the most carbon intensive sectors, including an industry leading phase out policy for coal, thus continuing to embed ESG in its financing activities and continuing to implement our Net Zero Transition plan, advancing on Net Zero targets achievement.
Within the program "UniCredit per l'Italia", the Bank has funded a new plafond of €5 billion for Italian corporates following investing criteria established by the "Piano di Transizione 5.0", bringing the entire UniCredit plafond to €35 billion since 2022. Building on the success of "UniCredit for CEE 2024" initiative, worth over €2.6 billion financing solutions across Central and Eastern Europe, we have launched "UniCredit for CEE 2025", offering micro and small businesses a suite of favourable financing solutions, amounting to €2.3 billion. In 2024 we increased UniCredit Foundation funding to €30 million, offering over 100.000 learning experiences to underserved students across 12 countries. We continue to invest in financial education, reaching over 700,000 beneficiaries, and to have a positive impact on our communities with circa 15,000 hours dedicated to volunteering by our employees.
In November 2024, we held our second ESG Day: "A challenged future: choosing the path ahead". For this year's event, we put our clients at the centre, supporting them on their sustainable transition with actionable insights tackling a range of topics from a customer centric perspective. At ESG Day 2024, we wanted to put the focus firmly on the need for greater progress in tackling some of the toughest issues facing our society today, such as climate change and social inequality.
UniCredit has been included in the "Europe's Climate Leaders 2024" list and, for the 4 th consecutive year, in the "Europe's Diversity Leaders 2025" by the Financial Times. The Bank has also won the 2024 Diversity and Inclusion Initiative of the Year EMEA award from Environmental Finance for its "Group Holistic Well-being approach", awarded as Equileap Top 100 Globally for gender equality in 2024 for the 3 rd consecutive year and as Top Employer in Europe for 2024 by the Top Employers Institute for the 8th consecutive year.

Andrea Orcel, Chief Executive Officer of UniCredit S.p.A. said:
"Three years ago we announced UniCredit Unlocked with financial goals that many said were too ambitious. We have now overdelivered on all those goals, outperforming on all metrics including profitability and distribution targets, and are entering the next phase of our strategy. In this phase, we will accelerate our growth, aspiring to further widen the gap with our competitors, close our valuation gap, and cementing UniCredit as the bank of Europe's future and benchmark for banking.
We ended 2024 with a strong fourth quarter, crowning 16 quarters of quality profitable growth and our best full year stated net profit ever at €9.7 billion, net profit ex DTA is up 8% versus the prior full year. Underlying net profit was €10.3 billion excluding actions to secure future profitability. Full year RoTE was a robust 17.7%, or 20.9% on a 13% CET1 ratio, underpinned by increased net revenue, a best-in-class cost/income ratio and superior capital efficiency with an organic capital generation of €12.6 billion. We intend to increase our distributions to €9.0 billion to shareholders for 2024, pending approvals. As further proof of our generous distribution policy we are increasing the cash dividend to 50% of net profit from 2025.
Our stand-alone growth and distribution investment case is compelling supported by an attractive geographic footprint, a quality client and business mix as our lines of defence will protect us and our clear alpha initiatives deliver ever greater results. We will continue to demonstrate superior financial performance and shareholder value creation. Any inorganic growth must improve our standalone case and meet our strict financial and strategic requirements.
The macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop remains complicated and unpredictable. We are however well positioned to absorb a normalization of interest rates and cost of risk and cost inflation. Our diversification together with management actions, and integration costs and overlays already taken provides us with an important advantage. This will allow us to maintain strong profitability and distribution.
Finally, a profound thank you to the employees for their hard work and dedication to all our stakeholders. I am proud of your successes as we build the bank for Europe's future together."

Total revenues stood at €6.0 bn in 4Q24, down 2.3% Q/Q, driven by resilient NII at €3.7 bn (+2.5% Q/Q) and fees at €2.0 bn (+1.7% Q/Q). Trading stood at €270 million (-38.9% Q/Q). Total revenues were up 0.7% Y/Y, mainly driven by fees (+8.9% Y/Y) and NII (+1.1% Y/Y), partially offset by trading (-20.5% Y/Y).
Net revenues reached €5.6 bn in 4Q24, down 5.6% Q/Q and down 0.1% Y/Y.
In 4Q24, NII stood at €3.7 bn, up 2.5% Q/Q, and up 1.1% Y/Y notwithstanding a lower average Euribor and lower loan volumes. The Q/Q growth was mainly driven by Italy and supported by better results on non-commercial components, especially investment portfolio and treasury & other.
Fees stood at €2.0 bn in 4Q24, up 1.7% Q/Q mainly thanks to the strong performance of insurance products and payments fees, especially in Italy. Fees were up 8.9% Y/Y mainly thanks to investments and insurance fees and the good result of client hedging fees mostly in Germany. In particular, in 4Q24:
- − Investment fees were €0.6 bn, up 17.0% Y/Y especially thanks to higher AuM gross and net sales as well as supportive market effect translating into improved management fees.
- − Insurance fees stood at €0.2 bn, up 9.8% Y/Y, driven by strong growth in non-life products (both property and casualty insurance and CPI) as well as positive growth in life.
- − Current accounts & payments fees generated € 0.6 bn, up 2.5% Y/Y, mainly driven by Central and Eastern Europe.
- − Financing & advisory fees were €0.4 bn, up 0.4% Y/Y with better loans related fees in Germany.
- − Client hedging fees were €0.2 bn, up 30.1% Y/Y, mainly driven by higher client activity on FX cash products and fixed income derivatives.
Trading income stood at €270 m in 4Q24, down 38.9% Q/Q reflecting, among others, lower treasury contribution and impacts from the investment in Commerzbank. Trading income was down 20.5% Y/Y.


Dividends13 were €93 m in 4Q24, down 38.5% Q/Q and down 0.8% Y/Y.
Operating costs stood at €2.5 bn in 4Q24 up 9.5% Q/Q, mainly driven by HR related costs due to higher accruals on variable compensation, and up 1.3% Y/Y due to higher Non-HR related costs, mostly IT and depreciation. In particular:
- − HR costs were €1.6 bn in 4Q24, up 10.2% Q/Q mainly driven by higher performance bonuses, and down 0.2% Y/Y due to the net FTE reductions more than compensating the salary increase coming from the collective agreement renewals.
- − Total Non-HR costs14 were €0.9 bn in 4Q24, up 8.4% Q/Q driven by higher IT and discretionary and depreciation expenses affected by seasonality, and up 3.9% Y/Y due to higher IT costs partially compensated by lower real estate and depreciation related costs.
The Cost/Income ratio stood at of 41.8% in 4Q24, up 4.5 p.p. Q/Q, and up 0.3 p.p. Y/Y.
Cost of Risk stood at 34 bps in 4Q24, up 18 bps Q/Q and up 5 bps Y/Y. The sound asset quality is supported by a highly covered and robust credit portfolio with historically low NPE stock at €11.2 bn and a 1.3% default rate, up Y/Y although flat when excluding few large files.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Global growth remains stuck in moderate gear, with limited prospects of improvement in the near term amid increasing trade tensions. The outlook for the US will be shaped by the country's economic policy mix. We think that the upward effects on GDP growth from looser fiscal policy and reduced regulation would offset the downward effects from higher tariffs and tighter immigration, leading to slightly-above-trend growth this year and next (2.2% in 2025 and 2.3% in 2026). In China, increased challenges to exports related to higher tariffs are likely to expose weakness in domestic demand given a lack of bold consumption-enhancing measures. We expect a structural deceleration in China's economic growth, with GDP set to expand by 4.5% in 2025 and by 4.2% in 2026, from 5.0% this year.
In the Eurozone, we forecast that GDP will expand by 0.9% in 2025, while the recovery is likely to gain some traction in 2026, with activity set to rise at a pace broadly in line with potential (at 1.2%). Economic activity will be supported by a moderate acceleration in private consumption as real wages return towards pre-pandemic levels, despite elevated economic uncertainty and a weakening labour market. Moreover, the normalization of monetary policy should support the construction sector and bring relief to capex at a time of reduced visibility regarding the outlook for external demand.
Italy is expected to grow slightly less than the Eurozone, increasing by 0.8% in 2025 and by 1.0% in 2026. We see household spending benefitting from a continued expansion in employment and real income, with its pace of growth accelerating in the coming quarters, supporting GDP growth. Foreign demand for Italian goods is likely to gradually recover, but Italy's large manufacturing sector will be particularly exposed to an increase in tariffs. Fixed-investment growth will also be hampered by a correction in construction investment due to the reduction of incentives related to building renovation, which will be partly offset by an acceleration in non-residential investment given the ongoing implementation of the national recovery and resilience plan.
Disinflation in the Eurozone is on track, and headline inflation will probably settle in line with the ECB's 2% target over the course of 2025. Therefore, given rising risks to the growth and employment outlook, we see the ECB's deposit rate moving to 2% by the end of 2025. We expect interest rates to remain unchanged in 2026, as inflation will probably fluctuate around 2% if no major shock to commodity prices occurs.
