Executive Summary

Successful growth story: becoming more a Platform than a Bank

The Bank has entered a new dimension of growth driven by structural trends. Among the main consequences:

  • continuing with the deleveraging of the Balance Sheet: boosting Fees and Commissions to increase revenues with a better mix
  • new discontinuity in FAM, entering the second wave to take more control of the value chain to further boost Investing revenues and margins

Outcome: structurally higher profitability and capital light business model, allowing us to distribute increasing DPS and to invest more in our growth abroad

Record-high net profit in "a new normal world"

  • 1H21 Net profit at 185mln, +2% y/y(1) beating the previous record high of 1H20, confirming the sustainability of a business model able to deliver consistent results in every market condition
  • 1H21 Revenues at 403mln, +3% y/y(1) mainly supported by Investing (+23% y/y) thanks to volume effect and to the strong acceleration of AUM flows. Brokerage confirmed a structurally higher floor also in an environment characterized by much lower volatility compared to 2020
  • Operating Costs well under control at -126mln,+4.7% y/y, excluding costs related to the acceleration of the growth of the business(2). Yearly comparison also affected by 1H20 strict lockdown
  • C/I ratio at 31.3%, confirming operating leverage as a key strength of the
    Bank

Strong and safe capital position

  • 1Q21 CET1 ratio at 18.6%(3),TCR at 29.9%(3) , Leverage ratio at 4.0% (3)
  • 2019-2020Dividend proposal: € 0.53(4)

Accelerating commercial activity

  • Net sales in 1H21 at 5.8bn (+22% y/y), o/w AUM at 4.0bn (+152% y/y). TFA at 101.4bn with Asset under Management at 51.4 (+28% y/y) and the penetration of Guided products on Asset under Management at 75%
  • Fineco Asset Management retail net sales at 2.3bn in 1H21 (+129% y/y) and TFA at 20.3bn.
  • July estimates: Strong net sales at ~0.9bn (+34% y/y), o/w AUM 0.5bn and deposits 0.36bn due to seasonality. Brokerage revenues estimated at ~15mln despite very low volatility (revenues ~30% higher vs average monthly revenues in 2017-2019 y/y and volatility lower than avg volatility in the same period)

2Q21 Recast for a better representation of Investing

In order to give a better representation of Investing net commissions, in line with prevailing market practice, we have recasted into Net commissions (Investing):

3

Other expenses/income(0.6mln in 1H21), represented by cost efficiencies achieved by FAM (already accounted into Investing revenues)

Other Administrative Expenses (-18.8mlnin 1H21), represented by costs related to the Network of PFAs (recruiting, loyalty, FIRR, Enasarco)

PFA Incentives previously accounted into other product areas commissions(-3.2mln in 1H21) have been recasted into Investing commissions, following the

change of the PFAs incentive scheme (which is now only based on AUM)

Note:

In the past we structurally overestimated our Cost/Income

ratio as we had to apply the accounting rules in line with our previous Parent company. Now, by aligning ourselves to the prevailing market practice within the asset gatherer industry, we are reflecting our real operating leverage.
