Assets

The Bank's total assets as at the end of 2021 amounted to PLN 126,361,260 thousand and were higher by PLN 10,693,110 thousand, or 9.2%, compared to the end of 2020.

The most important change in the Bank’s asset structure compared to the end of 2020 was a decrease in the share of the securities portfolio (-3.5 p.p.) with a simultaneous increase in the share of the loan portfolio (sum of portfolios measured at amortised cost and at fair value), which increased by 2.1 p.p. The shares of receivables from banks also increased by 1.3 p.p. and cash and balances with the Central Bank by 0.7 p.p. 

The asset structure was dominated by loans and advances to customers (sum of portfolios measured at amortized cost and at fair value), which accounted for 64.4% of total assets at the end of 2021 compared to 62.2% at the end of 2020. The increase in the net volume of loans and advances amounted to PLN 9,356,955 thousand (+13.0%) and concerned both the individual customers portfolio (+16.1%) and the corporate customers portfolio (+10.4%). The increase in the value of the portfolio was influenced, among other things, by an increase in loan sales and a decrease in the balance of impairment losses.  

The second largest asset item was securities, which accounted for 25.9% of total assets at the end of 2021 (end of 2020: 29.4%). In 2021, their value decreased by PLN 1,229,828 thousand (i.e. by 3.6%) compared to the end of 2020. The decrease in the portfolio mainly concerned securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, including bonds issued by banks and central government institutions. 

Simultaneously with the above changes, there was an increase in the share of receivables from banks from 0.5% to 1.8% (in value terms PLN 1,699,332 thousand i.e. by 306.0%) and an increase in the share of cash and balances with the Central Bank from 3.0% to 3.7% (in value terms PLN 1,209,544 thousand i.e. by 35.3%).

Securitization transaction of the portfolio

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 was 24 months and ended in December 2019. Transaction is subject to amortisation since January 2020. 

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. 

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 at the end of December 2021, the value of bonds and loans amounted to PLN 761,924 thousand. 

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 2021 at net value of PLN 775,591 thousand. 

The Bank acts as a servicer in the transaction.

Liabilities and equity

As at 31 December 2021, the Bank’s total liabilities amounted to PLN 114,968,617 thousand and were PLN 11,354,005 thousand or 11.0% higher than at the end of 2020. The share of liabilities in the Bank’s total liabilities and equity was 91.0% in the analysed period (+1.4 p.p. compared to the end of 2020).  

There are no significant changes in the structure of liabilities in 2021. The structure is dominated by liabilities to customers. Their share at the end of 2021 amounted to 88.6% and increased compared to the end of 2020 by 0.3 p.p. In terms of value, the volume of these liabilities increased by PLN 10,357,049 thousand, i.e. by 11.3% compared to December 2020 and amounted to PLN 101,823,600 thousand.
