Independent Auditor’s Review Report

TRANSLATION

 

REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL INFOMATION

 

To the Shareholders of “NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE S.A.”

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of “NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE S.A.” (the “Bank”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of 30 September 2014, the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine month period then ended, as well as the selective explanatory notes, which together comprise the condensed interim financial information. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and apply to Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard “IAS” 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Therefore, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as endorsed by the European Union (the “EU”).

 

The amounts are stated in Euro, rounded to the nearest million (unless otherwise stated) for ease of presentation.

 

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current period.

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss and all derivative contracts, which have been measured at fair value.

 

2.2                     Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

 

New standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards applied from 1 January 2014

 

In May 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Subsequent to the issue of these standards, amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the standards. In the current year, NBG Group has applied for the first time IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) together with the amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 regarding the transitional guidance.  The impact of the application of these standards is set out below.

 

Impact of the application of IFRS 10

 

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee when a) it has power over the investee; b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. There was no impact from the adoption of IFRS 10 in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Impact of the application of IFRS 11

 

IFRS 11, Joint arrangements focuses on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where the investors have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement. A joint operator accounts for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the investors have rights to the net assets of the arrangement; joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Proportional consolidation of joint arrangements is no longer permitted. There was no impact from the adoption of IFRS 11.

 

Impact of the application of IFRS 12

 

IFRS 12, Disclosures of interests in other entities includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, and structured entities that are not controlled by the entity. No consequential amendments were made to IAS 34 on issuance of IFRS 12 and, as such, the requirements of IFRS 12 do not directly apply to interim financial statements.

 

Impact of the application of IAS 27 (2011)

 

Amended version of IAS 27 now deals with the requirements for separate financial statements, which have been carried over largely unchanged from IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Requirements for consolidated financial statements are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Standard requires that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement. There was no impact from the adoption of the amended IAS 27 to the separate financial statements of NBG.

 

Impact of the application of IAS 28 (2011)

 

This Standard supersedes IAS 28 Investments in Associates and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. The Standard defines “significant influence” and provides guidance on how the equity method of accounting is to be applied. It also prescribes how investments in associates and joint ventures should be tested for impairment. There was no impact from the adoption of the amended IAS 28 to the interim financial statements of the Group.

Impact on the application of IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” (Amendment)

 

These amendments provide clarifications on the application of the offsetting rules. There was no impact from the adoption of these amendments to the interim financial statements of the Group and the Bank.

 

Impact on the application of IAS 39 “Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting” (Amendment)

 

These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is novated to a clearing counterparty and certain conditions are met. The adoption of this amendment has no impact to the interim financial statements.

 

Impact on the application of IAS 36 (Amendments) “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets”

 

These amendments remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units to which a significant amount of goodwill (or intangibles assets with indefinite useful lives) has been allocated in periods when no impairment or reversal has been recognized, to clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. There was no impact from the adoption of these amendments to the interim financial statements of the Group and the Bank.

 

IFRIC “Interpretation 21 Levies” (IFRIC 21)

 

IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy no earlier than when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. It also clarifies that a levy liability is accrued progressively only if the activity that triggers payment occurs over a period of time, in accordance with the relevant legislation. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be recognized before the specified minimum threshold is reached. There was no impact from the adoption of this interpretation to the interim financial statements of the Group and the Bank.

 

2.3                     Critical judgments and estimates

 

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the annual consolidated and Bank financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The unaudited tax years of the Group’s equity method investments and subsidiaries are presented in Note 19.

 

The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset of €3,690 million of which €3,498 million relates to the Bank. As of 30 September 2014 the Bank performed a thorough revision of its assessment regarding the recoverability of its deferred tax asset, taking into account the actual performance in the nine month period of 2014, the declining growth rate of loans past due for more than 90 days, the reduction in customer deposits’ cost, the successful share capital increase in May 2014, the successful fund raising through borrowing during the period, the reduction in funding from the

Eurosystem ,the decrease in operating expenses, mainly due to VRS, the improved performance of the Bank compared to previous years and the fact that, per the IMF, current recession and GDP forecast are significantly better than in 2013 and the uncertainty regarding the Greek economy has decreased. Taking into consideration the above, Management prepared analytical financial projections up to the end of 2016 and used its best estimates regarding the growth assumptions thereafter to reach the conclusion that the deferred tax asset recognised, as at 30 September 2014, for the Group and the Bank is considered realizable.

NOTE 8:                         Goodwill, software and other intangible assets

 

Under “Goodwill, software and other intangible assets” of the Group, amounting to €1,761 million, an amount of €1,426 million relates to goodwill.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is stated at cost, as established at the date of acquisition less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs”) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The assessment of goodwill for impairment requires the use of certain assumptions and estimates, which management believes are reasonable and supportable in the existing market environment and commensurate with the risk profile of the assets valued. However, different ones could be used which would lead to different results.

 

The Group assesses goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if there are indications for impairment. The assessment involves estimating whether the carrying amount of the goodwill remains fully recoverable. When making this assessment the Group compares the carrying value of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use.  Fair value is estimated by reference to market value, if available, or is determined by a qualified evaluator or pricing model. Determination of a fair value and value in use requires management to make assumptions and use estimates. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an irreversible impairment loss is recognized, and the goodwill is written down by the excess of the carrying amount of the unit over its recoverable amount.

 

As at 30 September 2014, from the total goodwill of €1,426 million, the CGU to which significant goodwill of €1,246 million has been allocated, is the Turkish operations and the goodwill relates to the acquisition of Finansbank. The remaining amount of goodwill relates to certain subsidiaries which do not account for a significant amount of goodwill on an individual basis. The Group, as at 31 December 2013, adopted a value in use (“VIU”) test for this CGU, based upon management’s latest five year forecasts, long-term growth rates based on the respective country GDP rates adjusted for inflation and risk discount rates based on observable market long-term government bond yields and average industry betas adjusted for an appropriate risk premium based on independent analysis.

 

The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Turkish operations CGU, as at 31 December 2013, were the terminal growth rate of 5.5% (2012: 5.2%) which was based on published analyzes of investment houses, pre-tax discount rate of 19.0% (2012: 19.6%) which was calculated based on the average cost of the capital of the banking sector in Turkey, as published by investment houses, terminal net interest margin of 5.2% (2012: 5.8%), terminal cost to income ratio of 46.1% (2012: 47.1%) and terminal provisions coverage ratio of 71.2% (2012: 77.0%) which were based on economical forecasts of the Bank. Based on this assessment, no impairment to the carrying amounts of goodwill and brand names relating to the acquisition of Finansbank is required. This conclusion does not change if reasonably possible changes in key assumptions are applied.

 

NOTE 9:                         Non-current assets held for sale and liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale

 

Assets held for sale mainly comprise Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A and Astir Marina Vouliagmenis S.A.

 

Specifically, on 10 February 2014, JERMYN STREET REAL ESTATE FUND IV L.P. (“JERMYN”) was nominated as Preferred Investor with regards to the international open competitive process in relation to the acquisition of a majority of the share capital of Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A (the “Process”). Further to the transaction approval by the Council of Audit on 5 June 2014, the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the abovementioned transaction was executed on 17 September 2014 between NBG, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A. (‘HRADF’) in their capacity as sellers, Apollo Investment Hold Co in its capacity as the buyer, and JERMYN in its capacity as Guarantor. Apollo Investment Hold Co is an SPV, 100% owned by JERMYN. The transaction is expected to be completed post the fulfilment of the relevant conditions precedent. These include, among others, the issuance and publication of the applicable Special Public Real Estate Area Development Plan in the Government Gazette. Upon completion of the Process, it is expected that Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A. will cease to be a subsidiary undertaking of the Bank. Based on the above, the assets and liabilities of Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A. and Astir Marina Vouliagmenis S.A. (an 100% subsidiary of Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A.) were reclassified in accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”.The cost of investment in Astir classified as assets held for sale on the Bank’s Statement of Financial Position is €255 million.

In December 2013, the Bank entered into a binding pre-agreement to dispose of its 100% participation on its subsidiary Grand Hotel Summer Palace S.A. and classified the subsidiary as held for sale. As of 30 September 2014, since the criteria for the classification are no longer met because the disposal has not taken place and as a result the pre-agreement is no longer valid, the Bank and the Group ceased to classify the subsidiary as held for sale. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, for the current and the comparative periods, were reclassified to the corresponding line items of the statement of financial position from the lines “Non-current assets held for sale” and “Liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale” of the Group and the Bank (i.e. tangible assets €11 million, deferred taxes €5 million, other assets €4 million and other liabilities €1 million (investment in subsidiaries €7 million for the Bank). The reclassification of the Grand Hotel Summer Palace S.A. subsidiary out of assets held for sale had no effect on the results and equity of the Group and the Bank for the current and prior periods.

NOTE 13:                  Contingent liabilities, pledged, transfers of financial assets and commitments

 

a. Legal proceedings

 

The Group is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. For the cases for which an accrual has not been recognized, Management is unable to estimate the possible losses because the proceedings may last for many years, many of the proceedings are in early stages, there is uncertainty of the likelihood of the final result, there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals and there are significant issues to be resolved. However, in the opinion of Management, after consultation with its legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated or separate statement of financial position, income statement and cash flow statement.  However, at 30 September 2014 the Group and the Bank have provided for cases under litigation the amounts of €69 million and €57 million respectively (2013: €70 million and €60 million respectively).

 

b. Pending tax audits

 

Tax authorities have not yet audited all subsidiaries for certain financial years and accordingly their tax obligations for those years may not be considered final. Additional taxes and penalties may be imposed as a result of such tax audits; although the amount cannot be determined, it is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated or separate statement of financial position of the Group and the Bank. The Bank has been audited by the tax authorities up to and including the year 2008.  The financial years 2009 and 2010 are currently being audited by the tax authorities. The financial years 2011, 2012 and 2013 were audited by the independent auditor, Deloitte Hadjipavlou Sofianos & Cambanis S.A., in accordance with article 82 of Law 2238/1994. The tax audit certificates for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 were unqualified and issued on 27 July 2012, 27 September 2013 and 10 July 2014, respectively. Based on article 6 of Ministerial Decision 1159/22.7.2011, the year 2011 is considered final for tax audit purposes and 2012 & 2013 financial years will be considered final for tax audit purposes 18 months after the issue of the tax audit certificates during which period, the tax authorities are entitled to re-examine the tax books of the Bank. For the subsidiaries and associates regarding unaudited tax years refer to Note 20.

 

c. Credit commitments

 

In the normal course of business, the Group enters into a number of contractual commitments on behalf of its customers and is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These contractual commitments consist of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit and guarantees. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the conditions established in the contract. Commercial letters of credit ensure payment by the Bank to a third party for a customer’s foreign or domestic trade transactions, generally to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of goods. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Group to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. All of these arrangements are related to the normal lending activities of the Group. The Group’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual nominal amount of those instruments. The Group uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Group and Bank

 

NOTE 16:                  Related party transactions

 

The nature of the significant transactions entered into by the Group with related parties during the 9-month period ended 30 September 2014 and 2013 and the significant balances outstanding at 30 September 2014 and 31 December 2013 are presented below.

 

a. Transactions with members of the Board of Directors and management

 

The Group and the Bank entered into transactions with the members of the Board of Directors, the General Managers and the members of the Executive Committees of the Bank, the key management of other Group companies, as well as with the close members of family and entities controlled or jointly controlled by those persons.

 

All loans granted to related parties (i) were made in the ordinary course of business, (ii) were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and (iii) did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavourable features, except for the following transactions:

 

The Bank grants loans to its employees on preferential terms compared to customers that are not employees. This policy, which is common practice for banks in Greece, applies only to employees and not to close members of family and entities controlled by them. The preferential terms mainly refer to a lower fixed interest rate of 2.12% for mortgage loans, while collateral is required as in the ordinary course of business. As such, certain General Managers and members of the Executive Committees of the Bank have taken loans with reduced interest rate of total amount €6 million as of 30 September 2014 (31 December 2013: €6 million).

 

The list of the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank is presented under Note 1.

 

As at 30 September 2014, loans, deposits and letters of guarantee, at Group level, amounted to €106 million, €18 million and €15 million respectively (31 December 2013: €88 million, €12 million and €16 million respectively), whereas the corresponding figures at Bank level amounted to €105 million, €8 million and €15 million (31 December 2013: €87 million, €4 million and €16 million respectively).

 

Total compensation to related parties amounted to €13 million (30 September 2013: €14 million) for the Group and to €5 million (30 September 2013: €4 million) for the Bank, mainly relating to short-term benefits.

 

b. Transactions with subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

c. Transactions with other related parties

 

The total receivables of the Group and the Bank from the employee benefits related funds as at 30 September 2014 amounted to €638 million (31 December 2013: €582 million).

 

The total payables of the Group and the Bank to the employee benefits related funds as at 30 September 2014, amounted to €155 million and €80 million respectively (31 December 2013: €134 million and €62 million respectively).

 

d. Transactions with HFSF

 

In the context of Law 3864/2008 regarding the recapitalization of the Greek banks and subject to a pre-subscription agreement, the HFSF, which is considered by the Bank to be a related party as defined in IAS 24, had contributed an amount of €9,756 million EFSF bonds as an advance for the participation in the Bank’s share capital increase that was completed in June 2013.

 

An amount of €1,079 million was covered by private investors. The HFSF contribution in the share capital increase eventually amounted to €8,677 million and the excess amount out of the advance was returned to the HFSF. Furthermore, the Bank paid €90 million to HFSF as underwriting fees.

On 22 October 2014, NBG Pangaea REIC completed  its mandatory tender offer to the shareholders of MIG, and acquired 1,951,053 shares (13.86%) of MIG’s share capital at 3.10 Euro per share, increasing its stake in MIG to 96.67%.

 

On 23 September 2014 NBG disposed of its 100% subsidiary “ANTHOS PROPERTIES” S.A.

 

On 26 September 2014 NBG acquired the 5% of the voting common shares of its Turkish bank subsidiary Finansbank A.S. from International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) pursuant to an exercise by IFC of its put option right in accordance with the agreement between NBG and IFC dated 29 March 2007. The total consideration paid amounted to USD 343 million calculated in accordance with the pricing formula set out in the aforementioned agreement.

 

On 22 October 2014, the Board of Directors of Finansbank resolved to proceed with an increase of up to TL 715 million in the paid-in capital of Finansbank, with cancellation of pre-emption rights of existing shareholders, by means of a public offering of newly-issued shares.

 

NOTE 18:                  Capital adequacy

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Group and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios, determined on a risk-weighted basis, of capital (as defined) to assets, certain off-balance sheet items, and the notional credit equivalent arising from the total capital requirements against market risk. In June 2013, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe issued a new Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, (known as CRD IV), which incorporate the key amendments that have been proposed by the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (known as Basel III). The new regulations have been directly applicable to all EU Member States since 1 January 2014, but some changes under CRD IV will be implemented gradually, mainly between 2014 and 2019.

 

CRD IV revised the definition of regulatory capital and its components at each level. It also proposed a minimum Common Equity Tier I (CET1) Ratio of 4.5%, Tier I Ratio of 6.0% and total ratio of 8%. According to Bank of Greece Credit and Insurance Committee’s decision 114/4.8.2014, the above minimum capital requirements were set for Greek banks.

 

On 6 March 2014 BoG announced the results of the BlackRock stress-test exercise as extended by BoG, and BoG’s very conservative assessment of the pre-provision income of the draft restructuring plan. BoG assessed the 3.5 year’s capital requirements (using 30 June 2013 as relevant reference date) at €2,185 million, with the bulk stemming from an extremely pessimistic and loss-making stressed scenario for Finansbank. The Bank presented a capital plan to the Bank of Greece, describing the actions it intends to take to address the capital shortfall, within the timing and other constraints set in April 2014 by BoG. The Bank of Greece approved this plan on April 11, 2014. This capital plan included the completed share capital increase of €2.5 billion (see Note 14) and certain capital actions amounting to €1,040 million.

On 23 July 2014, the European Commission announced the approval of the Bank’s restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) as submitted to the EC by the Ministry of Finance on 25 June 2014. This Restructuring Plan includes, inter alia, the sale of a minority stake in Finansbank, the sale of the Astir hotel complex, and the sale of 100% of NBGI (Private Equity).

 

Article 27A, issued on 17 October 2014 (Law 4303/2014, “DTC Law”) allows, under certain conditions, and from 2016 onwards Credit Institutions to convert Deferred Tax Assets (“DTAs”) arising from Private Sector Initiative (“PSI”) losses and accumulated provisions for credit losses on loans existing at 31 December 2014 to a receivable (Tax Credit) from the Greek State. The main condition is the existence of an accounting loss of a respective year, starting from accounting year 2015 and onwards. The Tax Credit is offsettable against income taxes payable. The non-offset part of the Tax Credit is immediately recognized as a receivable from the Greek State. In such case the Bank will issue conversion rights for an amount of 110% of the Tax Credit receivable in favour of the Greek State and create a specific reserve for an equal amount. Common shareholders have pre-emption rights on these rights. The reserve will be capitalised with the issuance of common shares in favour of the Greek State. This new legislation allows Credit Institutions to treat such DTAs as not “relying on future profitability” according to CRD IV, and as a result such DTAs are not deducted from CET1, hence improving their capital position.

 

On 16 October 2014 the Board of Directors of the Bank decided to convene an extraordinary General Shareholders meeting on 7 November 2014 to resolve upon the inclusion of the Bank in the DTC Law. In order for the Bank to exit the provisions of the DTC Law it requires regulatory approval and a General Shareholders meeting resolution.

 

As of 1 November 2014, all systemic Eurozone banks are under the direct supervision of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) (Single Supervision Mechanism — SSM). Before ECB assumed its supervisory responsibilities, NBG as all systemic European banks were subject to an EU-wide Comprehensive Assessment including an Asset Quality Review (AQR) and Stress Test with 31 December 2013 as the reference date, whose results were announced on 26 October 2014. The AQR and Baseline Stress Test required a mimimum CET1 Ratio of 8% and the Adverse Stress Test a minimum CET1 Ratio of 5.5%.

 

The Adverse Dynamic Balance Sheet stress test, which is based on NBG’s approved Restructuring Plan resulted in a CET1 ratio of 8.9%, and a capital surplus of €2.0 billion. In line with ECB’s guidelines, NBG will submit on 7 November 2014 as a capital plan the above approved Adverse Dynamic Balance Sheet scenario and the additional 2014 profitability, which result in a capital surplus of more than €2.0 billion and no further capital action is required.

(6) This information is outside the scope of the review performed by our auditors on the Interim Financial Statements

 

The Adverse Static Balance Sheet stress test resulted in a capital shortfall of €933 million after the capital increase completed in May 2014. This shortfall has already been covered by NBG’s pre-provision income and actions completed by 30 September 2014 amounting to €1,172 million.  Taking into account the above, the shortfall under the Static Adverse scenario of €933 million now becomes a surplus of €239 million. The above figures do not take into account the capital benefit created by the new DTC Law, described above.

 

The 9-month 2014 pre-provision income and actions completed include:

 

(a)   €400 million higher pre-provision income, being the difference between the 9-month period ended 30 September 2014 actual pre-provision income based on unaudited/unreviewed financial information prepared in accordance with regulatory reporting rules (FINREP), compared to the estimated pre-provision income included in the Static Adverse scenario (estimated on a pro-rata basis, using the full year 2014 estimated amount),

 

(b)   €251 million being the impairment recognized in the Static Adverse scenario on the Greek government bonds received by the Bank in the context of Pillar I of Law 3723/2008, which were fully repaid during the 9-month period ended 30 September 2014,

 

(c)   €349 million, being the estimated saving from the voluntary exit scheme completed on 31 December 2013 by NBG for the remaining period up to 31 December 2016, which had not been taken into account in the Static Adverse scenario, and

 

(d)   €172 million, being the capital benefit expected to derive from the disposal of Astir Palace Vouliagmenis S.A (see Note 9).

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the above financial instruments at 30 September 2014 and 31 December 2013:

 

The carrying amount of cash and balances with central banks, due from and due to banks as well as accrued interest, approximates their fair value.

 

Loans and advances to customers: The fair value of loans and advances to customers is estimated using discounted cash flow models. The discount rates are based on current market interest rates offered for instruments with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

Held-to-maturity investment securities and loans-and-receivables investment securities: The fair value of held-to-maturity and loans and receivables investment securities is estimated using market prices, or using discounted cash flow models based on current market interest rates offered for instruments with similar credit quality.

 

Due to customers: The fair value for demand deposits and deposits with no defined maturity is determined to be the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value for fixed-maturity deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow models based on rates currently offered for the relevant product types with similar remaining maturities.

 

Debt securities in issue: Fair value is estimated using market prices, or if such are not available, using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on current market rates of similar maturity debt securities.

 

Other borrowed funds: Fair value of other borrowed funds is estimated using market prices, or if such are not available, either based on the prices with which the issuers completed tender offers with respect to these or similar instruments, or discounted cash flow analysis based on the Group’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings arrangements.

Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2

 

No transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to level 2 occurred in 2014 and 2013.

 

Level 3 financial instruments

 

Level 3 financial instruments at 30 September 2014 include:

 

(a)         Derivative products, which are valued using valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs, including certain correlation products, such as correlation between various interest indices or correlation between various currencies. They also include products where implied volatility represents a significant input and derivatives for which the CVA is based on significant unobservable inputs and the amount of the CVA is significant relative to the total fair value of the derivative.

 

(b)         Securities at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale securities, which are price-based, and the price is obtained from the issuers of the securities.

 

(c)          Available-for-sale non-marketable equity securities, which are valued by independent evaluators based on inputs such as earnings forecasts, comparable multiples of Economic Value to EBITDA and other parameters which are not market observable. Additionally it includes, Private equity investments, the prices of which are determined by the price of the most recent investment. Available-for-sale investments also include debt securities whose fair value is determined by the value of the underlying collateral.

 

(d)         Loans which are carried at fair value through profit or loss and which are valued using discounted cash flow valuation techniques incorporating unobservable credit spreads.

 

(e)          In other assets, Investments on behalf of policyholders who bear the investment risk (unit linked products) include debt securities issued by foreign financial institutions, for which there is no active market available and the valuation is based on prices obtained from issuers.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of all Level 3 fair value measurements for the period ended 30 September 2014 and 31 December 2013, including realized and unrealized gains/(losses) included in the “income statement” and “statement of other comprehensive income”.

 

Transfers into or out of Level 3

 

The Group conducts a review of the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. For the period ended 30 September 2014 transfers from Level 2 into Level 3 include derivative instruments for which the bilateral “CVA” adjustment is significant to the base fair value of the respective instruments.

 

Transfers from Level 2 into Level 3 for the year ended 31 December 2013 include loans at fair value through profit or loss, private equity investments classified as available for sale, for which the price of the most recent investment, available to value these companies is more than a year old and derivative instruments for which the bilateral “CVA” adjustment is significant to the base fair value of the respective instruments.

 

The main transfer out of Level 3 relates to debt securities in issue which, as at 30 June 2013, were valued based, primarily, on market observable CDS data and are no longer valued based on the price with which the Bank completed a tender offer.

Valuation Process and Control Framework

 

The Group has various processes in place to ensure that the fair values of its assets and liabilities are reasonably estimated and has established a control framework which is designed to ensure that fair values are validated by functions independent of the risk-taker. To that end, the Group utilizes various sources for determining the fair values of its financial instruments and uses its own independent functions to validate these results where possible.

 

Fair values of debt securities are determined either by reference to prices for traded instruments in active markets, to external quotations or widely accepted financial models, which are based on market observable or unobservable information where the former is not available, as well as relevant market-based parameters such as interest rates, option volatilities, currency rates, etc., and may also include a liquidity risk adjustment where the Group considers it appropriate.

 

The Group may, sometimes, also utilize third-party pricing information, and perform validating procedures on this information or base its fair value on the latest transaction prices available, given the absence of an active market or similar transactions. All such instruments, including financial instruments which are subject to material liquidity adjustments are categorized within the lowest level of fair value hierarchy (i.e. Level 3).

 

Generally, fair values of debt securities, including significant inputs on the valuation models are independently checked and validated by the Middle Office and Risk Management function on a systematic basis.

 

Fair values of derivatives are determined by Management using valuation models which include discounted cash-flow models, option pricing models or other appropriate models. Adequate control procedures are in place for the validation of these models, including the valuation inputs, on a systematic basis. Middle Office and Risk Management function provide the control valuation framework necessary to ensure that the fair values are reasonably determined, reflecting current market circumstances and economic conditions. Furthermore, over-the-counter derivatives are also compared on a daily basis with counterparties’ valuations, under the daily collateral management process.

 

Market Valuation Adjustments

 

Counterparty credit risk-adjustments are applied to all over-the-counter derivatives. Own credit-risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Group’s own credit risk when valuing derivatives. Bilateral credit-risk adjustments consider the expected cash flows between the Group and its counterparties under the relevant terms of the derivative instruments and the effect of the credit-risk profile of the counterparties on the valuation of these cash flows. Where appropriate, we take into consideration the credit-risk mitigating arrangements including collateral agreements and master netting arrangements into estimating own and counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments.

 

The liquidity risk adjustment reflects, among other things, the illiquid nature of certain financial instruments and the cost that would be incurred to close out certain financial positions of the Group either by unwinding or disposing the actual market risk that the Group has undertaken.

Sensitivity of Fair Value Measurements to Changes in Unobservable Inputs

 

For structured interest rate derivatives a significant change in the correlation inputs (e.g. the degree of correlation between two different interest rates, or between interest rates and foreign exchange rates) would result in a significant impact to the fair value of the individual instrument; however the magnitude and the direction of the impact depends on whether the Group is long or short the exposure among other factors.  Due to the limited exposure the Group has related to these instruments a reasonable change in the above unobservable inputs would not be significant to the Group. Additionally, interest rate derivatives include interest rate swaps for which the bilateral credit risk adjustment is significant in comparison to the fair value.  The counterparty credit-risk adjustment in these cases is mainly driven by the internal ratings of the counterparty. A reasonable increase in the credit spread of these entities would result in an insignificant change in the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

 

Within other derivatives are derivatives whose valuation is dependent on an FX pair correlation or on the volatility of an index. A reasonable increase in the correlation or the volatility of the index would not result in a material change in the financial instruments fair value for the Group.

 

For loans and advances to customers which the Group has elected the fair value option, the valuation includes a parameter which is not observable in the market, i.e. the credit spread of the client. A reasonable increase in the respective credit spreads used would not have a significant effect to their fair value for the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Group and Bank

 

Group

 

In 2013, the Group reclassified certain bonds of a carrying amount €617 million from available-for-sale into held to maturity as it now intends to hold these bonds until maturity.

 

In 2010, the Group reclassified certain available-for-sale and trading securities as loans-and-receivables, and certain trading securities to the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity categories. On 30 September 2014, the carrying amount of the securities reclassified in 2010 and still held by the Group, is €964 million. The market value of these securities is €354 million. During the period ended 30 September 2014, €12 million of interest income were recognised. Had these securities not been reclassified, the available-for-sale securities reserve, net of tax, would have been higher by €40 million.

 

In 2008, the Group reclassified certain available-for-sale and trading securities as loans-and-receivables, and certain trading securities to the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity categories. On 30 September 2014, the carrying amount of the securities reclassified in 2008, which are still held by the Group and have not been reclassified again subsequently, is €59 million. The market value of these securities is €56 million. During the period ended 30 September 2014, €1 million of interest income were recognised. Had these securities not been reclassified, net trading income and results from investments securities for the period ended 30 September 2014 would have been higher by €6 million (€4 million net of tax) and the available-for-sale securities reserve would have been higher by €2 million (€1 million net of tax).

 

Bank

 

In 2010, the Bank reclassified certain available-for-sale and trading securities as loans-and-receivables, and certain trading securities to the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity categories. On 30 September 2014, the carrying amount of the securities reclassified in 2010 and still held by the Group, is €907 million. The market value of these securities is €302 million. During the period ended 30 September 2014, €10 million of interest income were recognised. Had these securities not been reclassified the available-for-sale securities reserve would have been higher by €36 million.

 

In 2008, the Bank reclassified certain trading securities as loans-and-receivables or available-for-sale. On 30 September 2014, the carrying amount of the securities reclassified in 2008, which are still held by the Bank and have not been reclassified again subsequently, is €14 million. The market value of these securities is €13 million. Had these securities not been reclassified, net trading income and results from investments securities for the period ended 30 September 2014 would have been higher by €1 million.
