New lending includes the disbursed amounts of the new and existing non-revolving facilities (excluding forborne or re-negotiated accounts) as well as the average year to date change (if positive) of
the current accounts and overdraft facilities between the balance at the beginning of the period and the end of the period. Recoveries are excluded from this calculation since their overdraft movement
relates mostly to accrued interest and not to new lending.
Non-interest income comprises Net fee and commission income, Net foreign exchange gains/(losses) and net gains/(losses) 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 'Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Income Statement - Underlying basis' relate to the following items, as applicable: (i) Advisory and other
restructuring costs - organic, (ii) Provisions/net (loss)/profit relating to NPE sales, and (iii) Restructuring and other costs relating to NPE sales.
The NPE coverage ratio is calculated as the allowance for expected loan credit losses (as defined) over NPES (as defined).
NPEs ratio is calculated as the NPEs as per EBA (as defined) divided by gross loans (as defined).
As per the European Banking Authorities (EBA) standards and European Central Bank's (ECB) Guidance to Banks on Non-Performing Loans (which was published in March 2017), non-performing
exposures (NPEs) are defined as those exposures that satisfy one of the following conditions:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
V.
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.
Defaulted or impaired exposures as per the approach provided in the Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR), which would also trigger a default under specific credit adjustment, diminished
financial obligation and obligor bankruptcy.
Material exposures as set by the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC), which are more than 90 days past due.
Performing forborne exposures under probation for which additional forbearance measures are extended.
Performing forborne exposures previously classified as NPEs that present more than 30 days past due within the probation period.
From 1 January 2021 two regulatory guidelines came into force that affect NPE classification and Days-Past-Due calculation. More specifically, these are the RTS on the Materiality Threshold of Credit
Obligations Past-Due (EBA/RTS/2016/06), and the Guideline on the Application of the Definition of Default under article 178 (EBA/RTS/2016/07).
The Days-Past-Due (DPD) counter begins counting DPD as soon as the arrears or excesses of an exposure reach the materiality threshold (rather than as of the first day of presenting any amount of
arrears or excesses). Similarly, the counter will be set to zero when the arrears or excesses drop below the materiality threshold. Payments towards the exposure that do not reduce the
arrears/excesses below the materiality threshold, will not impact the counter.
For retail debtors, when a specific part of the exposures of a customer that fulfils the NPE criteria set out above is 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 specific part of the exposure is classified as non performing.
For non retail debtors, when an exposure fulfils the NPE criteria set out above, then the total customer exposure is classified as non performing.
Material arrears/excesses are defined as follows:
-
Retail exposures: Total arrears/excess amount greater than €100
Exposures other than retail: Total arrears/excess amount greater than €500
and the amount in arrears/excess in relation to the customer's total exposure is at least 1%.
