Statement of financial position

Assets

The total assets of the Bank as at the end of December 2019 amounted to PLN 106,592,130 thousand and were lower by PLN 219,528 thousand, i.e. by 0.2% as compared to the end of December 2018.

The scale of change in the total assets was influenced i.a. by the conclusion on 28 June 2019 of the transaction of sale of the organised part of the Bank’s enterprise conducting the factoring activity to BGŻ BNP Paribas Faktoring Sp. z o.o. (Factoring Company), in consequence of which the Bank transferred to the Factoring Company assets in the amount of PLN 1,658,174 thousand (detailed description of the transactions in Chapter 2.7. Sale of the organised part of enterprise of Separate financial statements of the BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2019).

The second factor influencing the size of the Bank’s assets is the balance sheet optimization process related to, among others, a significant change (improvement) in the liquidity position as a result of the acquisition of the Core Business of Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. on 31 October 2018. The optimisation of the Bank’s deposit base allows for the improvement of the realised interest margin.

In December 2017, the Bank performed a securitization transaction of the portfolio of cash and car loans. The transaction is a traditional securitization involving the transfer of ownership of the securitized receivables to SPV (BGŻ Poland ABS1 DAC based in Ireland). The revolving period is 24 months.

SPV issued bonds with a total value of PLN 2,180,850 thousand on the basis of securitized assets, and received a loan of PLN 119,621 thousand, which were secured by a registered pledge on the rights to cash flows from securitized assets.

As a result of securitization, the Bank obtained financing in exchange for the transfer of rights to future cash flows resulting from the securitized loan portfolio in a value of PLN 2,300,471 thousand as of 22 November 2017 (the cut-off date). The maximum deadline for full redemption of bonds and repayment of the loan is 27 April 2032.

The main benefit of the performed transaction is a positive impact on capital adequacy ratios and improvement of liquidity and diversification of financing sources.

In the light of the provisions of IFRS 9, the contractual terms of the securitization do not fulfil the conditions for derecognition of securitized assets. In connection with the above, the Bank recognizes securitized assets in “Loans and advances to customers” as at 31 December 2019 at net value of PLN 2,247,024 thousand.

Liabilities and equity

As at the end of December 2019, the total value of the Bank’s liabilities amounted to PLN 95,407,828 thousand and was lower by PLN 832,268 thousand, i.e. by 0.9% as compared to the value at the end of 2018.

The share of liabilities in total liabilities and equity of the Group amounted to 89.5% in the analysed period and decreased by 0.6 p.p. as compared to the end of the previous year.

The most significant change in the structure of liabilities in 2019 was a decrease in the share of amounts due to customers with a simultaneous increase in the share of amounts due to banks and separating lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16.

The most significant item in the structure of liabilities are amounts due to customers. As at the end of 2019, their share in total liabilities was 92.7% which constituted a decrease by 0.3 p.p. compared to the end of 2018. In terms of value, the volume of these liabilities decreased by PLN 1,061,230 thousand, i.e. by 1.2% compared to December 2018 and amounted to PLN 88,445,327 thousand. The decrease is a result of an optimization policy with reference to the liquidity position of the Group.

Amounts due to banks also decreased in the analysed period, which resulted in the decrease of their share in total liabilities by 0.6 p.p. to the level of 1.1%. Amounts due to banks totalled PLN 1,018,776 thousand and were lower by PLN 571,159 thousand (i.e. by 35.9%) than at the end of 2018, mainly due to the decrease of loans and advances received from banks and withdraw of bank deposits.

Total equity as at 31 December 2019 amounted to PLN 11,184,302 thousand and increased as compared to 31 December 2018 by 5.8%, i.e. by PLN 612,770 thousand. The share of total equity in total liabilities and equity of the Group at the end of December 2019 was at the level of 10.5% (as compared to 9.9% at the end of 2018).
