Rome, 12 November 2021 - The Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. board of directors, which met today, examined and approved the Consolidated Interim Report dated 30 September 2021. The aforementioned Report will be published on the Company's corporate website www.bancafinnat.itunder Investor Relations/Regulated Information/Statements, on the authorised SDIR-NIS/NIS Storage platform (www.emarketstorage.com) and made available on the Borsa Italiana S.p.A. website (www.borsaitaliana.it).

Consolidated results from first nine months of 2021

  • The Dealing Margin amounted to €48,562 thousand compared to €48,757 thousand at 30.09.2020 (-0.4%). The overall decrease, equal to €195 thousand, is attributable to:
    • A €3.56 million rise (+10.2%) in Net fee and commission income, from €34.95 million at 30.09.2020 to €38.5 million. The Bank accounts for €2.25 million, the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR €1.26 million, and other Group companies €50 thousand of this increase.
    • A €4.57 million drop (-36.4%) in Net interest income (from €12.55 million at 30.09.2020 to €8 million), attributable to the lower contribution from treasury transactions and from the banking book.
    • Trading income rose to €1.4 million from a €800 thousand trading expense in the first nine months of 2020.
    • Other Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value recorded a net loss of €124 thousand, compared to a €529 thousand loss at 30.09.2020.
    • A €1.07 million drop in Dividends and similar income (from €1.79 million at 30.09.2020 to €722 thousand).
    • A €719 thousand drop in Net gain from disposal of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (€81 thousand compared to €800 thousand at 30.09.2020).

The income statement also highlights:

  • Net impairment losses for credit risk of €154 thousand associated with impairment losses on Financial assets at amortised cost of €130 thousand and Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of €24 thousand, compared to overall impairment losses of €2.2 million at 30.09.2020.
  • Operating Costs rose by 6.2% to €39.6 million from €37.3 million at 30.09.2020. This rise was driven by a 7.8% increase in labour costs (from €25.8 million at 30.09.2020 to €27.9 million) due both to the effect of high-profile additions to the

2

workforce and the allocation of variable costs provided for under the incentive scheme.

  • Net income on equity investments stood at €326 thousand compared to a €221 thousand loss at 30.09.2020.
  • Income taxes of €2.8 million at a 30.6% tax rate, compared to 32.6% (€2.9 million in taxes) at 30.09.2020.
  • Group Net Income rose to €4.3 million from €4.2 million at 30.09.2020.
  • The Group's Consolidated shareholders equity rose to €223.1 million from €222.3 million at 31.12.2020, with a Regulatory capital of €185.3 million (€184.5 million at 31.12.2020) and a 30.2% CET 1 Capital Ratio (34.9% at 31.12.2020). To mitigate the impact arising from application of the new reporting standard on own funds, the bank opted to adhere to the transitional arrangements. Without this application, own funds would have been equal to €184.1 million with a CET 1 capital ratio of 30%.
  • Total Group AUM rose to €17.3 billion - a 12% rise on 31.12.2020 with a 28% increase in indirect deposits.

As of 30 September 2021 there were 28,810,640 treasury shares in the portfolio (28,810,640 on 31 December 2020), equal to 7.9% of the Bank's share capital.

The financial reporting manager in charge of drawing up corporate accounts (Giulio Bastia) declares, pursuant to article 154 bis(2) of the T.U.F., that the accounting information given in this press release complies with the accounting records, books and entries.
