Non-recurring items
NPES
Non-interest income comprises Net fee and commission income, Net foreign exchange gains and net gains on financial instrument transactions and disposal/dissolution of subsidiaries and associates
(excluding net gains on loans and advances to customers at FVPL), Insurance income net of claims and commissions, Net gains/(losses) from revaluation and disposal of investment properties and
on disposal of stock of properties, and Other income.
Non-recurring items as presented in the 'Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement - Underlying basis' relate to the following items, as applicable: (i) advisory and other restructuring costs -
organic, (ii) restructuring costs – Voluntary Staff Exit Plan (VEP), (iii) Provisions/net loss relating to NPE sales, including restructuring expenses, (iv) Loss on remeasurement of investment in associate
upon classification as held for sale (CNP) net of share of profit from associates, and (v) Reversal of impairment of DTA and impairment of other tax receivables.
According to the EBA standards and ECB's Guidance to Banks on Non-Performing loans, NPEs are defined as those exposures that satisfy one of the following conditions:
(i) The borrower is assessed as unlikely to pay its credit obligations in full without the realisation of the collateral, regardless of the existence of any past due amount or of the number of days past due.
(ii) Defaulted or impaired exposures as per the approach provided in the CRR, which would also trigger a default under specific credit adjustment, distress restructuring and obligor bankruptcy.
(iii) Material exposures as set by the CBC, which are more than 90 days past due.
(iv) Performing forborne exposures under probation for which additional forbearance measures are extended.
(v) Performing forborne exposures under probation that present more than 30 days past due within the probation period.
Exposures include all on and off balance sheet exposures, except those held for trading, and are categorised as such for their entire amount without taking into account the existence of collateral.
The following materiality criteria are applied:
•When the problematic exposures of a customer that fulfil the NPE criteria set out above are greater than 20% of the gross carrying amount of all on balance sheet exposures of that customer, then
the total customer exposure is classified as non-performing; otherwise only the problematic part of the exposure is classified as non-performing.
•Material arrears/excesses are defined as follows:
-Retail exposures: Total arrears/excesses amount greater than €100
-Exposures other than retail: Total arrears/excesses are greater than €500 and the amount in arrears/excess in relation to the customer's total exposure is at least 1%.
NPEs may cease to be considered as non-performing only when all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The extension of forbearance measures does not lead to the recognition of impairment or default.
(ii) One year has passed since the forbearance measures were extended.
(iii) Following the forbearance measures and according to the post-forbearance conditions, there is no past due amount or concerns regarding the full repayment of the exposure.
(iv) No unlikely-to-pay criteria exist for the debtor.
(v) The debtor has made post-forbearance payments of a non-insignificant amount of capital (different capital thresholds exist according to the facility type).
New default definition effective from 1 January 2021
From 1 January 2021 two regulatory guidelines come into force that affect NPE classification and Days-Past-Due calculation. Specifically, the RTS on the Materiality Threshold of Credit Obligations
Past Due (EBA/RTS/2016/0), and the Guideline on the Application of the Definition of Default under article 178 (EBA/RTS/2016/07).
