3. Statement of compliance
The annual consolidated financial statements (‘financial statements’) of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Details of the Group of accounting policies, including their changes, are presented in Note 4.
These consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Bank’s Management Board on 25 February 2025.
3.1 New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been approved and published by the European Union and are effective on or after 1 January 2024
STANDARD / INTERPRETATION
DESCRIPTION
IMPACT ASSESSMENT
IAS 1 (amendment) Presentation of financial statement’
The amendments affect requirements in IAS 1 for the presentation of liabilities on account of loan agreements as short-term or long-term.
In particular, these amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is only affected by covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date. In addition, an entity has to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months.
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.
IFRS 16 (amendment) ‘Leases’
The amendments to IFRS 16 specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retain. A sale and leaseback transaction involves the transfer of an asset by an entity (the seller-lessee) to another entity (the buyer- lessor) and the leaseback of the same asset by the seller-lessee.
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.
IAS 7 (amendment) ‘Statement of cash flows’ and IFRS 7 (amendment) ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’
The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 ‘Supplier Financing Arrangements’ set out disclosure requirements to help users of financial statements understand the impact of supplier financing arrangements (in particular reverse factoring) on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk, including if these agreements cease to be valid. In particular:
the amendments do not define supplier finance arrangements. Instead, the amendments describe the characteristics of an arrangement for which an entity is required to provide the information. The amendments note that arrangements that are solely credit enhancements for the entity or instruments used by the entity to settle directly with a supplier the amounts owed are not supplier finance arrangements.
adding to IAS 7 additional disclosure requirements about:
the terms and conditions of the supplier finance arrangements,
for the arrangements, as at the beginning and end of the reporting period:
a) the carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are part of the arrangement and the associated line item presented,
b) the carrying amount of financial liabilities disclosed under a) for which suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers,
c) the range of payment due dates of financial liabilities disclosed under a) and comparable trade payables that are not part of a supplier finance arrangement; and
the type and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying amounts of the financial liabilities that are part of the arrangement,
add supplier finance arrangements as an example within the liquidity risk disclosure requirements in IFRS 7.
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.

specify how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency is not exchangeable when a currency is not exchangeable at the measurement date, an entity estimates the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and that would faithfully reflect the economic conditions prevailing,
require the disclosure of additional information when a currency is not exchangeable when a currency is not exchangeable an entity discloses information that would enable users of its financial statements to evaluate how a currency’s lack of exchangeability affects, or is expected to affect, its financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
The Group claims that the standard’s amendments will not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of its first application.
3.3 New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and not yet approved by the European Union
STANDARD/ INTERPRETATION
DESCRIPTION
IMPACT ASSESSMENT
IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements'
IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 ‘Presentation of financial statements’. The purpose of the new standard is to improve the comparability and transparency of an entity's communication through financial statements and introduces:
new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. IFRS 18 requires an entity to classify all income and expenses within its statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The first three categories are new. These categories are complemented by the requirement to present subtotals and totals for ‘operating profit or loss’, ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes’ and ‘profit or loss’.
the concept of management-defined performance measure (‘MPM’) and defines it as a subtotal of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside financial statements, to communicate management view’s of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. IFRS 18 requires entities to disclose information about all its MPMs, including: how the measure is calculated, how it provides useful information and a reconciliation to the most comparable subtotal specified by IFRS 18 or another standard.
new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
The introduction of the new standard will not affect the numerical values presented in the financial statements .
However, the method of presentation will change, which is currently being analyzed by the Group.
IFRS 19 ‘Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’
IFRS 19 allows eligible subsidiaries to apply reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS accounting standards.
This standard may be applied by subsidiaries that:
it does not have public accountability (i.e. its equity or debts instruments are not traded in a public market or it does not hold assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders),
it has an ultimate or intermediate parent entity that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
The Group claims that the new standard will not have an impact on the financial statements in the period of its first application.

DESCRIPTION
IMPACT ASSESSMENT
IFRS 9 (amendment) Financial instruments’ and IFRS 7 (amendment) Financial instruments: disclosures’
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7:
provide an optional exception relating to the derecognition of a financial liability at an earlier date than settlement date, as long as specific conditions are met. This choice applies only to financial liabilities settled via the electronic payment system. An entity that chooses the accounting policy introduced by the above change will be obliged to apply it to all settlements made via the same electronic payment system,
clarify the method of analysis of three areas that are assessed when carrying out the test of the characteristics of contractual cash flows (‘SPPI test’) of financial assets, and thus affect the classification of financial assets, i.e.:
additional guidelines have been introduced on the analysis of contractual terms that may change cash flows based on contingencies (for example interest rates linked to ESG goals),
guidelines regarding ‘non-recourse’ financial assets have been clarified. A financial asset has ‘non-recourse’ characteristics if the lender has the right to receive the cash flows generated exclusively by the specified asset. In such a situation, the borrower is exposed to the operational risk of the assets and not the credit risk of the borrower,
guidelines on contractually linked instruments have been clarified. In some transactions, the issuer may prioritize payments using multiple contractually linked instruments that result in a concentration of credit risk (so-called ‘tranches’). The amendments clarify, among other things, that a key element that distinguishes contractually linked instruments from other ‘non-recourse’ financial assets is the cascading payment structure, which results in a disproportionate allocation of cash shortfalls (losses) between tranches,
introduce new disclosure requirements for:
equity instruments designated for measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income,
financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, the contractual terms of which may change cash flows due to events not directly related to changes in basic credit risk (e.g. change in cash flows due to compliance with ESG standards or not),
for nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are often structured as power purchase agreements:
clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements;
permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and
add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows.
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the standards’ amendments on the financial statements during its first application.
Annual Improvements (Volume 11 )
The IASB’s Annual improvements are limited to changes that either clarify the text of IFRS standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, omissions or conflicts between the requirements in the standards. The changes in the Annual improvements (Volume 11) concern:
IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’ hedge accounting by a first-time adopter
IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”: (1) gain or loss on derecognition; (2) disclosure of deferred difference between fair value and transaction price; (3) credit risk disclosures,
IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”: (1) lessee derecognition of lease liabilities; (2) transaction price,
IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” - determination of a ‘de facto agent’
IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” – cost method
Date of application: annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
The Group claims that the standard’s implementation will not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of its first application.

3.4 Interest rate benchmark reform
A fundamental reform of the main interest rate benchmarks (the ‘IBOR reform’) is under way. Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indexes used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48 / EC and 2014/17 / EU and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (hereinafter the ‘BMR Regulation’) sets out the operating rules and responsibilities of benchmark administrators and of the entities using these benchmarks. The new rules are to make the indicators more credible, transparent and reliable. As a result of the IBOR reform, individual indicators were adjusted to the new rules (e.g. WIBOR, EURIBOR) or liquidated (e.g. LIBOR) and replaced with alternative indicators. The greatest impact of the IBOR reform on the Group is observed in the field of financial instruments, in particular loans.
The Group monitors the progress of the transition to the new benchmarks by reviewing the total volumes of contracts where the current benchmark is subject to IBOR reform and an alternative benchmark has not yet been introduced (hereinafter ‘contract under reform’ ) . At the same time, the Group continues the process of annexing contracts concluded before the entry
into force of the BMR Regulation.
Following the recommendations of the supervisory authorities, the Group decided not to use the LIBOR ratios in newly granted loans and credits with variable interest rates.
The table below shows the IBOR to which the Group has had exposure, the new reference rates to which these exposures have or are transitioning, and the transition status.

Starting from 2022, work has been underway in Poland by the National Working Group for Benchmark Reform (‘NWG’), the aim of which is to prepare a new benchmark and a timetable for its implementation in such a way as to ensure the security of the financial system.
Due to the fact that the reform of reference indicators consists of many interconnected elements, it was determined that this process would be spread over time, and the reform of reference indicators in Poland would be completed in its entirety by the end of 2027.
In December 2024, the NWG Steering Committee decided to select the target interest rate reference index, replacing the WIBOR reference index and based on unsecured deposits of Credit Institutions and Financial Institutions with the technical name ‘WIRF’. Thus, the NWG Steering Committee verified and modified its previous decision to select the WIRON index. In January 2025, the NWG Steering Committee decided to select the target name of the new reference index: POLSTR.
In the next steps, the NWG Steering Committee will update the Road Map for benchmark reform in Poland and verify and update the NWG recommendations issued so far.
LIBOR GBP
As previously announced, on 31 March 2023, 1- and 6-month GBP LIBOR rates were published for the last time using the synthetic method. The publication of the 3-month synthetic LIBOR GBP rate ended at the end of March 2024.
LIBOR USD
In April 2023, the FCA decided to oblige ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), the administrator of LIBOR benchmarks, to continue to publish USD LIBOR rates for 1, 3 and 6 months using a non-representative ‘synthetic’ method. The publication of synthetic USD LIBOR rates ended on 30 September 2024.

Impact of the IBOR reform on hedge accounting
As part of the established hedging relationships, the Group identifies the following interest rate benchmarks: WIBOR, EURIBOR. As of the reporting date, these benchmarks rates are quoted and available each day and resulting cash flows are exchanged with its counterparties as usual.
In the case of EURIBOR the Group assessed that, there is currently no uncertainty about the timing or amounts of cash flows arising from the IBOR reform. The indicator has been adapted to the requirements of the European Union Benchmark Regulation (BMR Regulation) and are developed by Administrators with the approval of supervisory authorities. The Group not anticipate changing the hedged risk to a different benchmarks.
In the case of WIBOR, in the Group's opinion, there is uncertainty as to the dates and amounts of cash flows for the new index. Such uncertainty may affect the assessment of the effectiveness of the relationship and the high probability of the hedged item. For the purposes of these assessments, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmarks on which the cash flows from the hedged item and/or hedging instrument are based will not change as a result of the WIBOR reform.
The list of hedging relationships and the nominal amounts of hedging instruments designated thereto, which may be affected by the cessation of the interest rate benchmarks is presented in Note 21.
Regarding the hedging instruments, the Group joined ISDA Fallbacks Protocol and actively cooperates with counterparties in order to implement rules of conduct in line with the ISDA methodology.
4. Significant accounting policies
4.1. Basis of preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
General information
The financial statements have been prepared in Polish zloty, and all data in the financial statements are presented in PLN million (PLN ‘000 000), unless indicated otherwise .
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the Group will continue its business operations substantially unchanged in scope for a period of at least one year from the date of approval by the Bank's Management Board of these financial statements for publication, i.e. from 25 February 2025 .
The accounting principles as described below have been consistently applied for all the reporting periods. The principles have been applied consistently by all the Group entities.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for significant items of financial assets and liabilities, for which the measurement method is presented in Note 4.4.
Comparability of financial data
In the consolidated financial statements of the Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 Group made the following described changes to accounting principles. Those accounting policies have been applied uniformly to all presented reporting periods and by all entities of the Group.
Change (1): Change in the accounting policies recognition of the provision for legal risk of mortgage loans in CHF
Starting from 1 January 2024, the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to recognizing the impact of legal risk arising from court proceedings related to mortgage loans in CHF, assuming that this risk is separate from credit risk.
Therefore, in relation to active loans (unpaid at the balance sheet date), the Group presents the impact of this legal risk in accordance with the provisions of paragraph B.5.4.6 of IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the CHF mortgage loan portfolio (instead of the previous recognition of this legal risk as an element of expected credit losses, which resulted in the presentation of the legal reserve within ‘Net income on expected credit losses’ and ‘Other operating expenses’). Furthermore, the Group does not treat legal risk as an impairment trigger of loan exposure (as it was in the previous approach).
The update of the accounting policy for CHF mortgage loan agreements results primarily from the need to better reflect the dynamic changes taking place in the Group's legal environment over recent months as a result of the materialization of the risk of inability to recover full scheduled cash flows for this portfolio (not due to the borrower's credit risk, but due to the invalidation of the agreement in its entirety). In light of the unfavorable line of judicature for banks, the Group observes a growing number of court proceedings and a significant share of unfavorable judgments (in particular regarding the invalidation of the loan agreement), which translates into the Group's inability to recover all contractual cash flows arising from CHF mortgage loan agreements.
The change in the approach to legal risk in the Group's opinion better reflects the nature of the risk of this portfolio and results in the information presented in the financial statements concerning CHF mortgage loans better and more adequately reflecting the economic nature of the risk of this portfolio. Additionally, this change leads to greater comparability of the data presented by the Group concerning the legal risk of CHF mortgage loans with the market practice in this area.

Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Due to the above change, the Group recalculated and restated the financial data for the comparative periods, which resulted in a positive impact on equity (‘Retained earnings’) in the amount of PLN 87 million, as well as a decrease in the value of the portfolio of non-performing loans (‘NPL portfolio’) by PLN 2 billion, which is primarily the result of a change in the assessment of the level of credit risk for this portfolio, i.e. the Group does not treat legal risk as a trigger for classifying loan exposure to Stage 3.
The impact of the above change on the statement of financial position, on the Group’s financial results and on the structure of the CHF mortgage loan portfolio, which changed significantly, is presented in tabular form below.
Change (2): Changes in the method of presenting selected components of loan exposures (without impact on the statement of financial position and financial result)
Based on the analysis carried out in 2024, starting from 1 January 2024, the Group changed its accounting policy:
1) loan exposures taken over from Idea Bank S.A. (‘IB’) and the guarantee received concerning this portfolio, taking into account the specificity of the transaction of taking over this loan portfolio and the integral nature of the guarantee. In previous periods, the Group presented separately the expected credit losses of the portfolio taken over from IB (without including the guarantee received in their calculation) and at the same time separately recognized in the item of loans and advances to customers the receivable resulting from this guarantee. From 1 January 2024, the Group presents expected credit losses on loan exposures taken over from IB net with settlements resulting from the guarantee held (the possession of the guarantee is included in the calculation of expected credit losses for the loan exposures). In the Group opinion, the above method of presenting the loan portfolio better reflects the economic nature of the loan portfolio taken over together with the integral guarantee received in the process of taking over IB.
2) interest accrued and recognized in the gross carrying amount of POCI exposures, i.e. previously, the Group recognized contractual interest in the gross carrying amount, appropriately taking into account such accrued interest in the calculation of expected credit losses in the statement of financial position. From 1 January 2024, the Group recognizes in the gross carrying amount interest accrued on the carrying amount, adjusted for the original credit risk assessment of the exposure at the time of initial recognition. The above change has no impact on the statement of financial position or the income statement.
The Group has restated comparative data accordingly, as presented in the loan portfolio tables in Note 45.2, which resulted in a decrease in the gross carrying amount of loans and allowances for expected credit losses by total about PLN 1.5 billion as at 31 December 2023, in particular decreasing the NPL portfolio, without affecting the statement of financial position and the financial result.
Change (3): Changes in the method of presenting selected items in the income statement
Change in the method of presenting interest income in the income statement
The Group changed the method of presenting interest income in the income statement, i.e. interest income is now presented broken down by method of its calculation, whereas before the change it was presented by the category of financial assets from which the income is realized. This change was introduced to better reflect the Group's activities and ensure comparability with the banking sector.
Change in the method of presenting the result on fair value hedge accounting in the income statement
The Group changed the method of presenting the result on fair value hedge accounting in the income statement. In previous periods, the result on fair value hedge accounting was recognized in a separate line of the income statement. Currently, this item is presented in the line ‘Result on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and foreign exchange result’. As a result of this change, the Group recognizes in a single line of the income statement the recognized gains and losses on all financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The changes 2 and 3 do not affect the level of the presented financial result , the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement.
The changes in accounting principles indicated above resulted in the restatement of comparative data.

Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group include the financial data of Bank Pekao S.A. and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared at the same reporting date as those of the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies within the Group in all important aspects.
All intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealized gains, have been eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless there is an objective evidence of impairment, which should be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group has power over an entity, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of obtaining control by the Group until the date when the control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquire at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquire's identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expenses as incurred ( in the income statement under the item General administrative expenses and depreciation’ .
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer remeasures its previously held equity interests in the acquiree at fair value at the acquisition date (date of obtaining control) and recognizes the resulting gain or loss in the income statement. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
The above policy does not apply to the business combinations under common control.
The changes in a parent entity's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent entity losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners of parent entity). The Group recognizes directly in equity any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received, and attributes it to the owners of the parent entity.
When the Group ceases to have control over the subsidiary, any retained interest in that subsidiary is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in the income statement.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. The Group usually holds from 20% to 50% of the voting rights in an associate. The equity method is calculated using the financial statements of the associates. The balance sheet dates of the Group and its associates are the same.
On acquisition of the investment, any difference between the cost of the investment and the Group's share in the net fair value of the investee's identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as follows:
goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment,
any excess of the Group's share in the net fair value of the investee's identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the Group's share in the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
The Group recognizes the investments in associates applying the equity method. The investment in associates is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s statement of financial position share in net assets of the associate after the date of acquisition, net of any impairment allowances.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. Distributions received from an associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
If the Group’s share in the losses of an associate equals or exceeds the Group’s share in the associate, the Group ceases to recognize further losses, unless it assumed obligations or made a payment on behalf of the associate.
Unrealized profits or losses from transactions between the Group and associates are eliminated pro rata to the Group’s share in the associates.

4.3. Foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are calculated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate from the date of the transaction. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation differences resulting from settlements of such transactions and from the statement of financial position valuation of monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.
Foreign currency translation differences arising from non-monetary items, such as equity instruments classified as financial assets measured at fair value through the profit or loss are recognized together with the changes in the fair value of that item in the income statement.
Foreign currency translation differences arising from non-monetary items such as equity instruments classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in the revaluation reserves.
4.4. Valuation of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
At the moment of the initial recognition the financial assets are classified into the following categories at the:
financial assets measured at amortised cost,
financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income,
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The above mentioned classification is based on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the characteristics regarding the contractual cash flows ( i.e.‘criterion SPPI’).
The financial assets could be classified depending on the Group’s business model to the following categories:
a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows,
a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets,
other business model than business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.

Classification, measurement and presentation of financial assets
FINANCIAL ASSETS CLASSIFICATION
SIGNIFICANT ITEMS INCLUDED
PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
Measured at amortised cost
To this category, the Group classifies financial assets included in the following items of the Statement of financial position:
Cash and cash equivalents ,
‘Loans and advances to banks’,
Loans and advances to customers (including receivables from finance leases),
‘Securities’.
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if at the same time they meet the following two criteria and were not designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI criteria are met).
Upon initial recognition, these assets are measured at fair value increased by transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset.
After initial recognition, these assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all commissions paid and received by the parties, transaction costs and other bonuses and discounts constituting an intergrated part of the effective interest rate.
Interest accrued using the effective interest rate is recognized in net interest income.
Since the impairment recognition, the interest recognized in the income statement is calculated based on the net carrying amount, whereas the interest recognized in the statement of financial position is accrued on the gross carrying amount.
Allowances for expected credit losses reduce the gross carrying amount of assets, on the other hand they are recognized in the income statement under ‘Net allowances for expected credit losses’.
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
To this category, the Group classifies financial assets included in the following items of the Statement of financial position:
Loans and advances to customers (including receivables from finance leases),
‘Securities’,
‘Assets pledged as security for liabilities’.
Financial assets (excluding equity instruments) are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when they simultaneously meet the following two conditions and have not been designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI criteria are met).
Interest accrued using the effective interest rate is recognized in net interest income.
The effects of changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income until the asset is excluded from the statement of financial position, when accumulated profit or loss is recognized in the income statement under ‘Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss’.
An allowance for expected credit losses from financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position. On the other hand, an expected credit risk allowance is recognized in the income statement under ‘Net allowances for expected credit losses’.
Measured at fair value through profit or loss
To this category, the Group classifies financial assets included in the following items of the Statement of financial position:
‘Derivative financial instruments (held for trading)’,
‘Loans and advances to customers’ ( (including receivables from finance leases) ,
‘Hedging instruments’,
‘Securities’,
‘Assets pledged as security for liabilities’.
Loans and advances to customers recognized in a model other than the model held to obtain contractual cash flows and the model held to obtain contractual cash flows and for sale, or those that do not meet the SPPI criterion.
At initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate selected financial assets that meet the amortised cost measurement criteria or at fair value through other comprehensive income for measurement at fair value through profit or loss if it eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets at different methods.
Derivative instruments are recognized on transaction dates.

Classification, presentation and measurement of financial liabilities
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES CLASSIFICATION
SIGNIFICANT ITEMS INCLUDED
PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
Measured at amortised cost
To this category, the Group classifies financial liabilities included in the following items of the Statement of financial position:
Amounts due to other banks ’,
Amounts due to customers ’,
Debt securities issued’,
Subordinated liabilities’.
The measurement of financial liabilities at amortised cost is performed using the effective interest rate.
When the financial liability at amortised cost is derecognised, the gain or loss is recognised in the profit and loss in the item ‘Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss’.
Measured at fair value through profit or loss
To this category, the Group classifies financial liabilities included in the following items of the Statement of financial position:
Financial liabilities held for trading ’,
‘Derivative financial instruments (held for trading)’,
Hedging instruments’ .
Measurement and presentation of financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss follow the same principles as for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The business model assessment
The assessment of the business model is made at the initial recognition of the asset. The business model criteria refers to the way the Group managing financial assets in order to generate cash flows.
The Group evaluates the purpose of the business model, to which the particular financial assets are classified on the level of particular portfolios of the assets performing the analysis on those portfolio level is a reliable reflection business activities regarding these models and also reflects to information analysis of those activities provided to the Group’s management.
The assessment of the business model is based on the analysis of the following information regarding the portfolio of the financial assets:
applied policies and business aims for the particular portfolio and its practical implementation. In particular, the management's strategy regarding the acquisition of revenues from contractual interest payments, maintaining a specific interest rate profile of the portfolio, managing the liquidity gap and obtaining cash flows as a result of the sale of financial assets is assessed,
the manner in which the profitability of the portfolio is assessed and reported to the Bank's Management Board,
types of risk that affect the profitability and effectiveness of a given business model (and financial assets held under this business model) and the manner of managing the identified types of risk,
the way in which the managers of business operations are remunerated under a given business model - eg whether the remuneration depends on changes in the fair value of financial assets or the value of contractual cash flows obtained,
frequency, value and moment of sale of financial assets made in prior reporting periods, the reasons for these sales and expectations regarding future sales activity. However, information on sales activity is analyzed taking into account the overall assessment of the Group's implementation of the adopted method of managing financial assets and generating cash flows.
Before making a decision regarding allocating a portfolio of financial assets to a business model which purpose is to obtain contractual cash flows, the Group reviews and evaluates significant and objective quantitative data influencing the allocation of asset portfolios to the relevant business model, in particular:
the value of sales of financial assets made within the particular portfolios,
the frequency of sales of financial assets as part of particular portfolios,
expectation analysis regarding the value of planned sales of financial assets and their frequency of the particular portfolios, this analysis is carried out on the basis of probable scenarios of the Group's business activities in the future.
The portfolios of financial assets from which sales are made that do not result from an increase in credit risk meet the assumptions of the business model, which purpose is to obtain contractual cash flows, provided that these sales:
are at low volume (even with a relatively high frequency of sales) or
are made rarely - as a result of one-off events, which the probability to occur again in the future, according to the Group’s professional judgment is rare (even with a relatively high volume) or
they occur close to the maturity date of the financial assets being sold, and the revenue obtained from such sales is similar to those which could be obtained from remaining contractual cash flows as if the financial asset was held in the Group's portfolio to the original maturity date.
26
Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
The following sales are excluded from the analysis of sales value:
the sales resulting from an increase in the credit risk of financial assets, regardless of their frequency and volume,
the sales resulting from one-off events, which the probability to occur again in the future, according to the Group’s professional judgment is rare,
the sales made close to maturity.
A held to obtain contractual cash flows or sale business model includes a portfolio of financial assets whose purpose is, in particular, managing current liquidity levels, maintaining the assumed profitability profile and/or adjust the duration of the asset and financial liabilities, and a level of sales are higher than for those financial assets classified in a model which purpose is to obtain contractual cash flows.
The other business model includes financial assets held for trading and other assets that do not meet the criteria for classification into the previously described models.
Assessment, whether the contractual payments are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI criteria)
For the purposes of assessing cash flow characteristics, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of a financial asset at the time of initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as the time value of money and the credit risk related to the unpaid part of principal and also other risks and costs associated with a standard loan agreement / a security (e.g. liquidity risk or administrative costs) and margin.
When assessing whether the contractual cash flows constitute solely payments of principal and interest, the Group analyzes contractual cash flows. This analysis includes an assessment whether the contractual terms include any provisions that the contractual payments could be changed or the amount of the contractual payments could be changed in a way that from an economic point of view they will not only represent repayments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal. When making this assessment, the Group takes into account the occurrence of, among others:
conditional events that may change the amount or timing of the payment,
financial leverage (for example, interest terms include a multiplier greater than 1),
terms regarding the extension of the contract or prepayment option,
terms that the Group’s cash flow claim is limited to a specified assets (eg non-recourse assets),
terms that modify the time value of money e.g. mismatch of the frequency of the revaluation of the reference interest rate to its tenor.
The SPPI test is conducted for each financial asset classified into the business model, which purpose is to obtain contractual cash flows or a business model which purpose is to obtain contractual cash flows or sale, as at the initial recognition date or as at the latest significant annex date changing the terms of contractual cash flows.
The Group performs an SPPI test at the level of homogeneous groups of standard products or at the level of a single contract for non-standard products or at the level of ISIN code for debt securities.
In situation when the time value of money is modified for a particular financial asset, the Group is required to make an additional assessment (i.e. Benchmark Test) to determine whether the contractual cash flows are still solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding by determining how different the contractual (undiscounted) cash flows could be from the (undiscounted) cash flows that would arise if the time value of money element was not be modified (the benchmark cash flows). Benchmark Testing is not permitted for situation that some terms modify contractual cash flows, such as the built-in leverage element.
Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (POCI)
The Group distinguishes the category of purchased or originated credit-impaired assets. POCI are assets that are credit- impaired on initial recognition. Financial assets that were classified as POCI at initial recognition should be treated as POCI in all subsequent periods until they are derecognition.
POCI assets may arise through:
by purchasing a contract that meets the definition of POCI (e.g. as a result of a merger with another entity or purchase of a portfolio of assets),
by concluding a contract that is POCI at the time of original granting (e.g. granting a loan to a customer in a bad financial condition),
by modifying the contract (e.g. under restructuring) qualifying this contract to be derecognised, resulting in a recognition of a new contract meeting the definition of POCI. Conditions for qualifying a contract to be derecognised are described below.
27
Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
At initial recognition, POCI assets are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value, in particular they do not have recognized impairment allowance.
POCI assets do not constitute a separate accounting category of financial assets. They are classified into accounting categories in accordance with the general principles for classification of financial assets. The categories in which POCI assets may exist are a category of financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Investments in equity instruments
For investments in equity instruments not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably choose to present changes in their fair value in other comprehensive income. The Group makes a decision in this respect based on an individual analysis of each investment. In sucha a case the amounts presented in other comprehensive income are never subsequently transferred to profit or loss. In case of sale of an equity investment elected to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, profits/losses from fair value measurement are transferred to the item ‘Other reserve capital’.
Equity investments not designated for measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income at the initial recognition are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of such investments, as well as the result on sales, are recognized in the income statement under ‘Result on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and foreign exchange result’.
Dividends from equity instruments, both measured at fair value through profit or loss and designated for valuation through other comprehensive income, are recognized in the income statement when the Group's right to receive payment is established.
Modifications of financial assets
If the terms of the financial asset agreement change, the Group assesses whether the cash flows generated by the modified asset differ significantly from those generated by the asset before modifying the terms of its agreement. If a significant difference is identified, ( defined by the quantitative criteria presented below) , the original financial asset is derecognised, and the modified financial asset is recognized in the books at its fair value.
Income or expense arising as at the date of determining the effects of the substantial modification is recognized in the profit and loss in the item ‘Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss’.
If the cash flows generated by the modified financial asset are are not materially different from the original cash flows, the modification does not result in derecognition of the financial asset. In this case, the Group recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, and recognizes the result resulting from a non-substantial modification in correspondence with interest income . Quantitative information about financial assets that were subject to modification that didn’t result in derecognition was presented in Note 45.2.
The assessment whether a given modification of financial assets is significant or non- substantial modification depends on the fulfillment of qualitative and quantitative criteria.
The Group has adopted the following quality criteria to determine substantial modifications:
currency conversion, unless it results from existing contractual provisions or requirements of applicable legal regulations,
change (replacement) of the debtor, excluding the addition/departure of the joint debtor or taking over the loan in inheritance,
consolidation of several exposures into one under an annex or settlement/restructuring agreement,
The occurrence of at least one of these criteria results in a substantial modification.
The Group has adopted the following quantitative criteria to determine substantial modifications:
extension of the loan term by at least one year and at least a doubling of the residual maturity to the original maturity (meeting both conditions jointly), or
increasing the current loan amount/limit by at least 10%.
If the terms of a financial asset agreement are modified, and the modification does not result in derecognition of the asset from the balance sheet, the determination, whether the credit risk of a given asset significantly increases, is made by comparing:
lifetime PD on the reporting date, based on modified conditions, with
lifetime PD estimated on the basis of data valid at the date of initial recognition and initial contractual terms.
In the case of modification of financial assets, the Group analyzes whether the modification has improved or restored the Group's ability to collect interest and principal. As part of this process, the Group assesses the borrower's ability to pay in relation to modified terms of agreement.

De-recognition of financial instruments from the statement of financial position
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the Group transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
The Group derecognizes a credit or a loan receivable, or its part, when it is sold. Additionally, the Group writes-off a receivable against the corresponding impairment allowances (completely or partially) when the debt redemption process is completed and when no further cash flows from the given receivable are expected (i.e. the created write-down covers almost the entire gross value of the loan/advance).
The value of contractual cash flows required under contracts of financial assets, which were written-off in 2024 and are still subject to enforcement proceedings as at 31 December 2024, is PLN 837 thousand (as at 31 December 2023 - PLN 1 388 thousand).
Accumulated profits and losses that have been recognized in other comprehensive income from equity instruments designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not recognized in the profit and loss account when these financial instruments are removed from the balance sheet.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability, or its part, when the liability expires. The liability expires when the obligation stated in the agreement is settled, redeemed or the period for its collection expires.
Repo and reverse-repo agreements
Repo and reverse-repo transactions, as well as sell-buy back and buy-sell back transactions are classified as sales or purchase transactions of securities with the obligation of resale and repurchase at an agreed date and price.
Sales transactions of securities with the repurchase obligation granted (repo and sell-buy back) are recognized as at transaction date in amounts due to other banks or amounts due to customers from deposits depending upon the counterparty to the transaction. Assets sold under these transactions are presented in the line ‘Assets pledged as security for liabilities’.’. Securities purchased in reverse-repo and buy-sell back transactions are recognized as loans and receivables from banks or as loans and receivables from customers, depending upon the counterparty to the transaction.
The difference between the sale and repurchase price is recognized as interest income or expense, and amortised over the contractual life of the contract using the effective interest rate method.

4.5. Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Management Board of the Bank to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Group and rely on historic data and other factors including expectation of the future events which seems justified in given circumstances.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are subject to a regular review. Revisions to accounting estimates are recongised prospectively starting from the period in which the estimates are revised.
Information on the areas of significant estimates in these financial statements is presented below.
4.5.1. Expected credit losses
With regard to all financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income and off-balance sheet liabilities, i.e. financial guarantees or loan commitments, the Group creates the allowance according to IFRS 9 based on the expected credit losses and taking into account forecasts and expected future economic conditions in the context of credit risk.
The process of estimating expected credit losses requires the use of significant estimates, in particular in the area of:
1) assumptions regarding macroeconomic forecasts and possible scenarios how these forecasts will develop in the future,
2) rules (thresholds) for identifying a significant increase in credit risk.
More information on the principles applied by the Group for determining expected credit losses, the significant assumptions applied in this area and sensitivity analysis of expected credit losses due to changes in PD and RR/LGD parameters and sensitivity analysis on the macroeconomic outlook are presented in the Note 45.2.
4.5.2 Impairment of non-current assets (including goodwill)
At each balance sheet date the Group reviews its non-current assets for indications of impairment. The Group performs an impairment test of goodwill on a yearly basis or more often if impairment triggers occur.
Where such indications exist, the Group makes an estimation of the recoverable value (of a given assets or in the case of goodwill - all cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates). If the carrying amount of a given asset is in excess of its recoverable value, impairment is defined and a write-down is recorded to adjust the carrying amount to the level of its recoverable value. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use.
Estimation of the value-in-use of an assets (or cash generating unit) requires assumptions to be made regarding, among other, future cash flows which the Group may obtain from the given asset (or cash generating unit), any changes in amount or timing of occurrence of these cash flows and other factors such as the lack of liquidity. The adoption of different measurement assumptions may affect the carrying amount of some of the Group’s non-current assets.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group assessed whether the current market conditions have an impact on the impairment of non-current assets. As a result of this analysis, no need was found to make impairment allowances of non-current assets, including goodwill. The main assumptions used in the goodwill impairment test are presented in Note 27.
4.5.3. Provisions for legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF
At each balance sheet date, the Group estimates the amount of possible loss resulting from the legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF, and in the case of loans outstanding as at the balance sheet date, the estimate of this loss is an element of the gross carrying amount of the loan determined by the Bank, and the possible excess of the estimated loss over the gross carrying amount is recognized as a provision in accordance with IAS 37.
Key elements of the estimate include:
1) a forecast of the total scale of disputes,
2) forecast of the duration of court cases and the costs of statutory interest that the Group will have to cover in connection with them.
Details on the main assumptions used to estimate the provisions for legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF and the sensitivity analysis in relation to the significant assumptions of the provision calculation are presented in the Note 45.3.

4.5.4. Measurement of derivatives, unquoted debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and loans and advances to customers measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and measured at fair value through profit or loss
The fair value of non-option derivatives, debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and loans and advances to customers measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and measured at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted market price on an active market is measured using valuation models based on discounted cash flows. Options are valued using option valuation models. Variables used for valuation purposes include, where possible, the data from observable markets. However, the Group also adopts assumptions concerning counterparty’s credit risks which affect the valuation of instruments. The adoption of other measurement assumptions may affect the valuation of these financial instruments. The assumptions used for fair value measurement are described in detail in the Note 45.9.
5. Operating segments
Data reported in the section stem from the application of the management model (‘Model’) used to prepare reports for the Bank's Management Board in which the main criterion for segmentation is the classification of customers based on their profile and service model.
Reporting and monitoring of results, for managerial purposes, include all components of the income statement up to the gross profit level, which is the main measure for assessing the segments’ activities by the Bank’s Management Board . Therefore, the income from the segment’s activities as well as operating costs related to those activities (including direct and allocated costs in line with the allocation model applied) and other components of income statement are attached to each segment.
The Group settles transactions between segments on an arm’s length basis by applying current market prices. Fund transfers between retail, private, corporate and investment banking segments, and the assets and liabilities management and other area are based on market prices applicable to the funds’ currency and maturity, including liquidity margins.
Information regarding key customers is presented in Note 44.
Operating segments
The operating segments of the Group are as follows:
Retail banking all banking activities related to individual customers (excluding private banking customers) and micro companies with an annual turnover not exceeding EUR 2 million, using simplified accounting, as well as results of the subsidiaries, and shares in net profit of associates accounted for using the equity method, that are assigned to the retail banking activity,
Private banking – all banking activities related to the most affluent individual customers ,

6. Interest income and expense
Significant accounting policies
Interest income includes interest and commission fees received or due from loans, interbank deposits and securities measured at amortised cost recognized in the calculation of effective interest rate of loans and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss and hedging derivatives , and income similar to interest on financial leases.
The effective interest rate is the discount rate of estimated future cash inflows and payments made during the expected period until the expiry date of the financial instruments.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all commissions paid and received by parties to the agreement, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts, comprising an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Gross carrying amount of the financial asset is the basis for interest income calculation except for credit-impaired financial assets (‘in Stage 3’) and purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (POCI assets). At the recognition of impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost or financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the interest income is still recognized in profit or loss but is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount less the impairment charges.
Interest expense related to liabilities associated with client accounts and debt securities issued are recognized in the profit or loss using the effective interest rate.
Income and expense from bancassurance
The Group splits the remuneration for sale of insurance products linked to loans into separate components, i.e. dividing the remuneration into proportion of fair value of financial instrument and fair value of intermediary service to the sum of those values. The fair values of particular components of the remuneration are determined based on market data to a highest degree.
The particular components of the Group’s remuneration for sale of insurance products linked to loans are recognized in the income statement according to the following principles:
remuneration from financial instrument – as part of effective interest rate calculation, included in interest income,
remuneration for intermediary service upfront at the time when the insurance product in sold, included in fee and commission income.
Additionally the Group estimates the part of the remuneration which will be refunded during the periods of sale of the insurance product (e.g. due to early termination of insurance contract, early repayment of loan). The estimate of the amount is based on the analysis of historical data and expectations in respect to refunds trend in the future .

Modification of expected cash flows related to mortgage loan agreements in PLN
Pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9, introduced in May 2024 by the amendment to the Act of 7 July 2022 on social financing for business ventures and support to borrowers (the ‘Act’) the rights of customers to benefit from the suspension of their loan repayments in the period from 1 June to 31 December 2024 required an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the above-mentioned loans by determining and recognizing in the Group financial result the cost of the above entitlement determined as the difference between:
1) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan portfolio that meets the criteria of the Act (gross carrying amount of this portfolio),
2) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan portfolio, determined based on the modified cash flows taking into account the terms of the Act (i.e. the possibility of suspending the repayment of loan installments within the specified time frame with the simultaneous extension of the loan period) discounted with effective interest rate of the above- mentioned portfolio, taking into account the estimated level of participation of eligible customers who, in the Group's opinion, will exercise this right and recognition in the financial results of the cost related to the modification of PLN mortgage loan due to the suspension of loan repayments by customers.
The cost of modifying PLN mortgage loan agreements granted to consumers due to their suspension of loan repayments, included in the financial results for 2024, amounted to 153.5 million gross, with a participation rate (use of rights arising from the Act) of approximately 12.6% of the volume.

7. Fee and commission income and expense
Significant accounting policies
Fee and commission income is generated from financial services provided by the Group and are measured based on the remuneration specified in the contract with the client. Fee and commission income includes, among others: fees for granting loans (without schedules), for committing to grant a loan, fees for issuing cards, for card transactions, for servicing and selling investment and insurance products, for servicing bank accounts, for cash deposits and withdrawals, for trustee services, for securities operations and margins obtained on currency exchange transactions.
Fee and commission income related to financial assets without specific repayment schedules (mainly overdrafts, working capital loans, credit card loans) and from the issuance, extension of the deadline, increase in the amount of guarantees and letters of credit, are amortised using the straight-line method over the life of the product to which they relate and are recognized in the income statement in the item ‘Fee and commission income’.
Commissions and fees for committing to grant loans that are most likely to be granted are deferred and, when the financial assets are initially recognized, they are settled using the effective interest rate .

Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
In the case of other fees and commissions related to financial services offered by the Group, a five-stage revenue recognition model is applied, i.e.:
1) identyfying the contract,
2) indication of the elements (individual obligations) contained in the contract,
3) determinig the price,
4) allocating the price to individual element of the contract,
5) recognition of revenue after meeting the conditions related to individual elements of the contract.
The Group applies the above model each time and recognizes income from commissions and fees:
1) once (when a service has been performed and control over the service has been transferred to the other party to the contract),
2) over time, when the service is provided over a period of time
The above settlement model is used primarily for services such as: fees for issuing cards, for card transactions, for servicing and selling investment products, for servicing bank accounts, for cash deposits and withdrawals, for custody services, for securities operations and margins obtained on currency exchange transactions.
The accounting policies relating income and expenses from bancassurance are described in Note 6 .

11. Net allowances for expected credit losses
Significant accounting policies
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, a financial lease receivable, a contract asset or a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract, and also recognises provisions for loan commitments, financial guarantee contracts and performance bond contracts measured in accordance with IFRS 9, due to the fact that these types of contracts only have credit risk associated with the non-receipt of refunds from customers, but there is no insurance risk .
Net allowance for expected credit losses for financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.
If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
At each reporting date, the Group measures net allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
The Group recognises in profit or loss, changes in expected credit losses and impairment losses occurring in the reporting period.
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events:
1) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower,
2) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event,
3) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider,
4) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization,
5) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties, or

6) the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.
The Group recognises in profit or loss, changes in expected credit losses and impairment losses occurring in the reporting period.
For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Bank becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment shall be considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of applying the impairment requirements.
At each reporting date, the Group recognises in profit or loss the amount of the change in lifetime expected credit losses on POCI assets as an impairment gain or loss . An entity shall recognise favourable changes in lifetime expected credit losses as an impairment gain, even if the lifetime expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses that were included in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition.
The Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for:
1) trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 15,
2) receivables that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 (other than receivables from finance lease).
Expected credit losses are not recognized for impairment of equity instruments.
The methodology for calculating expected credit losses is described in detail in ‘The description of the model for impairment allowance’ in Note 45.2.

15. Income tax
Significant accounting policies
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. The income tax expense is recognized in the income statement excluding the situations when it is recognized directly in equity. The current tax is the tax payable of the Group entities on their taxable income for the period, calculated based on binding tax rates, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The receivables resulting from taxes are disclosed if the Group’s companies has sufficient certainty that they exist and that they will be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and d eferred tax liabilities are calculated, using the balance sheet method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates based on legislation enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or the deferred tax liability is realized.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for negative temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized.
A deferred tax liability is calculated using the balance sheet method based on identification of positive temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes.

20. Derivative financial instruments (held for trading)
Significant accounting policies
The Group acquires the derivative financial instruments: currency transactions (spot, forward, currency swap and currency options, CIRS), exchange rate transactions (FRA, IRS, CAP), derivative transactions based on security prices, indices of stocks and commodities. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value as at the transaction date and subsequently re-measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The fair value is established on the basis of market quotations for an instrument traded in an active market, as well as on the basis of valuation techniques, including models using discounted cash flows and options valuation models, depending on which valuation method is appropriate.
Positive valuation of derivative financial instruments is presented in the statement of financial position in the line ‘Derivative financial instruments (held for trading)’ on an asset side, whereas the negative valuation ‘Derivative financial instruments (held for trading)’ on a liabilities side.
In case of contracts that are not financial instruments with a component of an instrument meeting the above conditions the built-in derivative instrument is classified in accordance with assets or liabilities of derivatives financial instruments with respect to the income statement in accordance with derivative financial instruments valuation principles.
The method of recognition of the changes in the fair value of an instrument depends on whether a derivative instrument is classified as held for trading or is designated as a hedging item under hedge accounting.
The changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments held for trading are recognized in the income statement.
Derivative financial instruments at the Group
In its operations the Group uses different financial derivatives that are offered to the clients and are used for managing risks involved in the Bank’s business. The majority of derivatives at the Group include over-the-counter contracts. Regulated stock exchange contracts (mainly futures) represent a small part of those derivatives.
Derivative foreign exchange transactions include the obligation to buy or sell foreign and domestic currency assets. Forward foreign exchange transactions are based on the foreign exchange rates, specified on the transaction date for a predefined future date. These transactions are valued using the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows are discounted according to zero-coupon yield curves, relevant for a given market.
Foreign exchange swaps are a combination of a swap of specific currencies as at spot date and of reverse a transaction as at forward date with foreign exchange rates specified in advance on transaction date. Transactions of such type are settled by an exchange of assets. These transactions are valued using the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows are discounted according to zero-coupon yield curves relevant for a given market.
Foreign exchange options with delivery are defined as contracts, where one of the parties, i.e. the option buyer, purchases from the other party, referred to as the option writer, at a so-called premium price the right without the obligation to buy (call option) or to sell (put option), at a specified point of time in the future or during a specified time range a foreign currency amount specified in the contract at the exchange rate set during the conclusion of the option agreement.
In case of options settled in net amounts, upon acquisition of the rights, the buyer receives an amount of money equal to the product of notional and difference between spot ad strike price.
Barrier option with one barrier is a type of option where exercise of the option depends on the underlying crossing or reaching a given barrier level. A barrier may be reached starting from lower (‘UP’) or from higher (‘DOWN’) level of the underlying instrument. ‘IN’ options start their lives worthless and only become active when a predetermined knock-in barrier price is breached. ‘OUT’ options start their lives active and become null and void when a certain knock-out barrier price is breached.
Foreign exchange options are priced using the Garman-Kohlhagen valuation model (and in case of barrier and Asian options using the so-called expanded Garman-Kohlhagen model). Parameters of the model based on market quotations of plain- vanilla at-the-money options and market spreads for out-of-the-money and in-the-money options (volatility smile) for standard maturities.
Derivatives related to interest rates enable the Group and its customers to transfer, modify or limit interest rate risk.
In the case of Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), counterparties exchange between each other the flows of interest payments, accrued on the nominal amount identified in the contract. These transactions are valued using the discounted cash flow model. Floating (implied) cash flows are estimated on base of respective IRS rates. Floating and fixed cash flows are discounted by relevant zero-coupon yield curves.
Forward Rate Agreements (FRA) involve both parties undertaking to pay interest on a predefined nominal amount for a specified period starting in the future and charged according to the interest rate determined on the day of the agreement The parties settle the transaction on value date using the reference rate as a discount rate in the processof discounting the

Bank Pekao S.A.
difference between the FRA rate (forward rate as at transaction date) and the reference rate. These transactions are valued using the discounted cash flow model.
Cross currency IRS involves both parties swapping capital and interest flows in different currencies in a specified period. These transactions are valued using the discounted cash flow model. Valuation of Basis Swap transactions (cross currency IRS with floating coupon) takes into account market quotations of basis spread (Basis swap spread).
In the case of forward transactions on securities, counterparties agree to buy or sell specified securities on a forward date for a payment fixed on the date of transaction. Such transactions are measured based upon the valuation of the security (mark-to-market or mark-to-model) and valuation of the related payment (method of discounting cash flows by money market rate).
Interest rate options (cap/floor) are contracts where one of the parties, the option buyer, purchases from the other party, the option writer, at a so-called premium price, the right without the obligation to borrow (cap) or lend (floor) at specified points of time in the future (independently) amounts specified in the contract at the interest rate set during the conclusion of the option. Contracts are net-settled (without fund location) at agreed time. Transactions of this type are valued using the Normal model (Bachelier model). The model is parameterized based upon market quotations of options as at standard quoted maturities.
Interest rate futures transactions refer to standardized forward contracts purchased on the stock market. Futures contracts are measured based upon quotations available directly from stock exchanges.
Commodity swap contracts are obligations to net settlement equivalent to the execution of a commodity buy or sell transaction at the settlement price according to determination rules set at the trade inception. Commodity instruments are valued with the discounted cash flows method, which includes commodity prices term structure.
Asian commodity options are contracts with the right to buy or sell a certain amount of commodity on a expiry date at the specified price, where settlement price is based on an average level established on the basis of a series of commodity price observations in the period preceding the maturity date of the option. Commodity options are valued with the Black-Scholes model that includes moment matching of commodity price distribution for the arithmetic average.
Derivative financial instruments embedded in other instruments
The Group uses derivatives financial instruments embedded in complex financial instruments, i.e. such as including both a derivative and base agreement, which results in part of the cash flows of the combined instrument changing similarly to cash flows of an independent derivative. Derivatives embedded in other instruments cause part or all cash flows resulting from the base agreement to be modified as per a specific interest rate, price of a security, foreign exchange rate, price index or interest rate index.
The Group has deposits and certificates of deposits on offer which include embedded derivatives. As the nature of such instrument is not strictly associated with the nature of the deposit agreement, the embedded instrument is separated and classified into the portfolio held-for-trading. The valuation of such instrument is recognized in the income statement. Embedded instruments include simple options (plain vanilla) and exotic options for single stocks, commodities, indices and other market indices, including interest rate indices, foreign exchange rates and their related baskets.
All embedded options are immediately closed back-to-back on the interbank market.
Currency options embedded in deposits are valued as other currency options.
Exotic options embedded in deposits as well as their close positions are valued using the Monte-Carlo simulation technique assuming Geometric Brownian Motion model of risk factors. Model parameters are determined first of all on the basis of quoted options and futures contracts and in their absence based on statistical measures of the underlying instrument dynamic.
Risk involved in financial derivatives
Market risk and credit risk are the basic types of risk, associated with derivatives.
At the beginning, financial derivatives usually have a small market value or no market value at all. It is a consequence of the fact that derivatives require no initial net investments, or require a very small net investment compared to other types of contracts, which display a similar reaction to changing market conditions.
Derivatives gain positive or negative value as a result of change in specific interest rates, prices of securities, prices of commodities, currency exchange rates, price index, credit standing or credit index or another market parameter. In case of such changes, the derivatives held become more or less advantageous than instruments with the same residual maturities, available at that moment on the market.

Credit risk related to derivative contracts is a potential cost of concluding a new contract on the original terms and conditions if the other party to the original contract fails to meet its obligations. In order to assess the potential cost of replacement the Group uses the same method as for credit risk assessment. In order to control its credit risk levels the Bank performs assessments of other contract parties using the same methods as for credit decisions.
The following tables present nominal amounts of financial derivatives and fair values of such derivatives. Nominal amounts of certain financial instruments are used for comparison with balance sheet instruments but need not necessarily indicate what the future cash flow amounts will be or what the current fair value of such instruments is and therefore do not reflect the Bank’s credit or price risk level.

21. Hedge accounting
Significant accounting policies
Derivative hedging financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value as at the transaction date and subsequently re-measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The fair value is established on the basis of market quotations for an instrument traded in an active market, as well as on the basis of valuation techniques, including models using discounted cash flows and options valuation models, depending on which valuation method is appropriate.
Positive valuation of derivative hedging financial instruments is presented in the statement of financial position in the line ‘Hedging instruments’ on an asset side, whereas the negative valuation – ‘Hedging instruments’ on a liabilities side.
The Group decided to take advantage of the choice which gives IFRS 9 and continues to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39, taking into account exceptions adopted by the European Commission. This decision will apply to all hedging relationships, for which the Group applies and will apply hedge accounting in the future. The Group implemented fair value hedge accounting as well as cash flow hedge accounting.
21.1. Fair value hedge accounting
Fair value hedge accounting significant accounting principles
Changes in the measurement to fair value of financial instruments indicated as hedged positions are recognized in the part ensuing from hedged risk in the income statement. In the remaining part, changes in the carrying amount are recognized in accordance with the principles applicable for the given class of financial instruments.
Changes in the fair market valuation of derivative financial instruments, indicated as hedging positions in fair value hedge accounting, are recognized in the profit or loss in the same caption, in which the gains/losses from change in the value of hedged positions are recognized i.e. in the item ‘Net income from fair value hedge accounting’. If the hedged instrument is a debt financial instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the result from the valuation of this hedged instrument (from the moment the hedging relationship is established) is recognized in the income statement.
Interest income on derivative instruments hedging interest positions hedged is presented as interest margin.
The Group ceases to apply hedge accounting, when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, dissolved or released (the replacement of one hedging instrument with another or extension of validity of given hedging instrument is not considered an expiration or release, providing such replacement or extension of validity is a part of a documented hedging strategy adopted by given unit), or does not meet the criteria of hedge accounting or the Group ceases the hedging relation.
An adjustment for the hedged risk on hedged interest position is amortised in the income statement at the point of ceasing to apply hedge accounting.
Characteristics of fair value hedge accounting
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting for individual fixed coupon debt securities denominated in EUR, hedged with interest rate swap (IRS) transactions in the same currency (‘FVH IRS bonds’ relationship). The Group hedges component of interest rate risk related to the fair value changes of the hedged item resulting exclusively from the volatility of market interest rates (WIBOR, EURIBOR). In the past, hedged risk component accounted for a significant portion of changes in fair value of the hedged item.
The approach of the Group to market risk managemant, including interest rate risk, and details regarding exposure of the Group to interest rate risk are disclosed in the Note 45.4.
The use of derivative instruments to hedge the exposure to changes in interest rates generates counterparty credit risk of derivative transactions. The Group mitigates this risk by requiring the counterparties to post collateral deposits and by settling derivative transactions through Central Counterparty Clearing Houses (CCPs) whch apply a number of mechanisms allowing systemic reduction of the risk of default on obligations under concluded transactions.
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting to a hedging relationship if it is justified to expect that the hedge will be highly effective in achieving offsetting fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk in the future and if assessment of hedge effectiveness indicates high effectiveness in all financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated.
54
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Bank Pekao S.A.
According to the approach of the Group, hedge ratio is determined as ratio of fair value of the hedged item to fair value of the hedging instrument. A hedging relationship is considered effective if all of the following criteria are met:
high effectiveness of the hedge can be expected on the basis of comparison of critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument,
in each reporting period, efficiency hedge ratio is within 80% - 125% range or relation of inefficiency amount to nominal value of the hedged item is less or equal than the threshold specified in documentation of the hedging relationship, where inefficiency amount is calculated as the sum of cumulative fair value changes of the hedged item and the hedging instrument,
in each reporting period, simulation of hedge ratio in assumed evolution of market rates scenarios is within 80% - 125% range.
As regards fair value hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:
impact of the counterparty credit risk and own credit risk of the Group on the fair value of the hedging transactions (IRS), which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged item,
differences in maturities of the interest rate swaps and debt securities,
differences in coupon amounts generated by the hedged item and hedging instruments.

21.2. Cash flow hedge accounting
Cash flow hedge accounting significant accounting principles
Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments indicated as cash flow hedging instruments are recognized:
directly in the caption ‘Revaluation reserves’ in the part constituting the effective hedge,
in the income statement in the line ‘Result on financial assets and liabilities held for trading and foreign exchange result’ in the part representing ineffective hedge.
The amounts accumulated in the ‘Revaluation reserves’ are transferred to the income statement in the period, in which the hedge is reflected in the income statement and are presented in the same lines as individual components of the hedged position measurement, i.e. the interest income from hedging derivatives in cash flow hedge accounting is recognized in the interest result, whereas gains/losses from foreign exchange revaluation are presented in the foreign exchange gains (losses).
56
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Bank Pekao S.A.
The Group ceases to apply hedge accounting when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, or if the Group revokes the designation, or when hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. In such cases, the accumulated gains or losses related to such hedging item, initially recognized in ‘Revaluation reserves’, if the hedge was effective, are still presented in equity until the planned transaction was closed and recognized in the income statement.
If the planned transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in ‘Revaluation reserves’ are transferred to the income statement for the given period.
Characteristics of cash flow hedge accounting
The Group applies:
interest rate swaps (IRS) to hedge the exposure to interest rate risk related to the volatility of market reference rates (WIBOR, EURIOR), generated by portfolios of variable-rate loans denominated in PLN and EUR (‘CFH IRS loans’ relationship),
currency swaps (FX-Swap) to hedge the exposure to the currency risk, generated by both, portfolios of loans denominated in EUR and portfolios of current and term deposits denominated in USD (‘CFH FX SWAP’ relationship),
interest rate swaps (IRS) to hedge the exposure to interest rate risk related to the volatility of WIBOR market reference rates , generated by portfolio of deposits denominated in PLN, which economically constitute a long-term, variable-rate liability (‘CFH IRS deposits’ relationship).
In addition, following the termination of the cross currency interest rate swap hedging relationship (‘CFH CIRS’) in 2022, the valuation at the time of termination is amortized through equity.
Approach of the Group to market risk management, including interest rate risk and currency risk, and details regarding the Bank’s interest rate risk and currency risk exposure are disclosed in Note 45.4.
As in the case of the fair value hedge, using derivative instruments to hedge the exposure to interest rate risk and currency risk generates counterparty credit risk of the derivative transactions, which is not compensated by the hedged item. The Group manages this risk in a way similar to fair value hedge.
The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting to a hedging relationship if it is justified to expect that the hedge will be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flow changes attributable to the hedged risk in the future and if assessment of hedge effectiveness indicates high effectiveness in all financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated. The assessment is conducted using hypothetical derivative method.
According to the approach of the Group, a hedging relationship is considered effective if all of the following criteria are met:
correlation coefficient between market reference rate of hedged items and market reference rate of hedging instrument is high,
forecasted interest flows generated by hedged items are not lower than forecasted interest flows generated by hedging instruments (in the case of hedging only currency risk, the forecasted nominal values are compared ),
in each reporting period, change in the ratio of the fair value of the hedged item to the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is within 80% - 125% range or relation of inefficiency amount to nominal value of the hedged item is less or equal to the threshold specified in documentation of the hedging relationship, where inefficiency amount is calculated as the sum of cumulative fair value changes of the hedged item and the hedging instrument,
in each reporting period, simulation of hedge ratio in assumed evolution of market rates scenarios is within 80% - 125% range.
In the case of hedging interest rate and currency risk of portfolios of loans and deposits, the manner of managing these portfolios was adopted allowing for regular inclusion of new transactions in the hedging relationship and exclusion of transactions from the hedging relationship as a result of repayment or classification to non-performing category. As a result, the exposure of these portfolios to interest rate and currency risk is constantly changing.
Because of frequent changes to term structure of the portfolio, the Group dynamically assigns the hedged items and allows for matching of hedging instruments to these changes.
As regards cash flow hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:
impact of counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the hedging instruments, i.e. interest rate swap (IRS), cross-currency interest rate swap (basis swap), currency swap (FX swap) which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged item,
differences in repricing frequency of the hedging instruments and and hedged loans and deposits.

25. Assets held for sale
Significant accounting policies
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets held for sale include assets, the carrying amount of which is to be recovered by way of resale and not from their continued use. The only assets classified as held for sale are those available for immediate sale in their present condition, and the sale of which is highly probable, i.e. when the decision has been made to sell a given asset, an active program to identify a buyer has been launched and the divestment plan is completed. Moreover, such assets are offered for sale at a price which approximates its present fair value, and it is expected that the sale will be recognized as completed within one year from the date of such asset is reclassified into this category.
Non-current assets held for sale are recognized at the carrying amount or at fair value reduced by the cost of such assets, whichever is lower. Assets classified in this category are not subject to depreciation.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business which constitutes a separate line of business or a geographical area of operations, which was sold, made available for sale or to be disposed, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs on disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When an operation is classified as held for sale, the comparative figures in the income statement are represented as if the operation had been discontinued from the beginning of the comparative period.
As at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 non-current assets classified as held for sale are identified non-current assets meeting requirements of IFRS 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’:
real estate,
other property, plant and equipment.

Goodwill
Goodwill is defined as a surplus of the purchasing price over the fair value of acquired assets, assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary or associate. Goodwill at initial recognition is carried at purchase price reduced by any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment is determined by estimating the recoverable value of the cash generating unit, to which given goodwill pertains.
If the recoverable value of the cash generating unit is lower than the carrying amount an impairment charge is made. Impairment identified in the course of such tests is not reversed.

Goodwill on acquisition of associate is presented in intangible assets and goodwill on acquisition of associates is presented under the caption ‘Investments in associates’.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets are assets controlled by the Group which do not have a physical form which are identifiable and represent future economic benefits for the Group directly attributable to such assets.
These assets include:
computer software licenses,
copyrights,
costs of completed development works.
Intangible assets are initially carried at purchase price. Subsequently intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortised over their estimated useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not amortised.
All intangible assets are reviewed on a periodical basis to verify if any significant impairment triggers occurred, which would require performing a test for impairment and a potential impairment charge.
As far as intangible assets with indefinite useful life and those still not put into service are concerned, impairment test is performed on a yearly basis and additionally when impairment triggers are identified.

goodwill recognized upon acquisition of Pekao Investment Management S.A. and indirectly Pekao TFI S.A. by Bank Pekao S.A. It is determined the smallest identifiable cash-generating units (‘CGU’) relating mainly to the Bank’s ‘Retail banking’, to which the goodwill has been allocated in the amount of PLN 692 million,
goodwill that was transferred to Bank Pekao S.A. on integration with Bank BPH S.A. It represents the goodwill recognized upon acquisition of Pierwszy Komercyjny Bank S.A. in Lublin (‘PKBL’) by Bank BPH S.A. and relates to those branches of the PKBL which were transferred to Bank Pekao S.A. as a result of integration with Bank BPH S.A. It is determined the smallest identifiable cash-generating units (‘CGU’) relating to the Bank’s retail segment, to which the goodwill has been allocated in the amount of PLN 59 million,
gooodwill recognized upon acquisition of Pekao Leasing i Finanse S.A. (formerly BPH Leasing S.A.) by Pekao Leasing Holding S.A. (formerly BPH PBK Leasing S.A.). It is determined the smallest identifiable cash-generating units (‘CGU’) relating to the Bank’s leasing business segment, to which the goodwill has been allocated in the amount of PLN 3 million,
goodwill recognized upon acquisition of Spółdzielcza Kasa Oszczędnościowo Kredytowa im. Mikołaja Kopernika by Bank Pekao S.A. It is determined the smallest identifiable cash-generating units (‘CGU’) relating to the Bank’s retail segment, to which the goodwill has been allocated in the amount of PLN 1 million,
goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Idea Bank S.A. by Bank Pekao S.A. The smallest identifiable cash-generating units relating to the Bank’s retail segment were determined, to which goodwill was assigned in the amount of PLN 1 million.
In respect to the goodwill, the impairment tests are performed annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired.
The impairment tests are performed by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU, including the goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount is estimated on the basis of value in use of the CGU. The value in use is the present, estimated value of the future cash flows for the period of 5 years, taking into account the residual value of the CGU. The residual value of the CGU is calculated based on an extrapolation of cash flows projections beyond the forecast period using the growth rate presented in the table below. The forecasts of the future cash flows are based on the assumptions included the budget for 2025 and financial plan for 2026-2029. To discount the future cash flows, it is applied the discount rates, which includes the risk-free rate and the risk premium.

The impairment tests performed as at 31 December 2024 and as at 31 December 2023 showed the surplus of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount of the CGU, and therefore no CGU impairments were recognized.
Sensitivity analysis
Estimating the recoverable amount is a complex process and requires the use of subjective assumptions. Relatively small changes in key assumptions may have a significant effect on the measurement of the recoverable amount.
The table below presents the surplus of recoverable amounts over the carrying amounts under the current assumptions and the maximum discount rates at which the carrying amounts and recoverable amounts of each CGU are equalized.

28. Property, plant and equipment
Significant accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment are defined as controlled non-current assets and assets under construction. Non-current assets include certain tangible assets with an expected useful life longer than one year, which are maintained for the purpose of own use or to be leased to other entities.
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment write downs. Historical cost consists of purchase price or development cost and costs directly related to the purchase of a given asset.
Each component of property, plant and equipment, the purchase price or production cost of which is significant compared to the purchase price or production cost of the entire item is a subject to separate depreciation. The Group separates the initial value of property, plant and equipment into its significant parts.
Subsequent expenditures relating to property plant and equipment are capitalized only when it is probable that such expenditures will result in future economic benefits to the Group, and the cost of such expenses can be reliably measured.
Service and maintenance costs of property, plant and equipment are expensed in the reporting period in which they have been incurred.

Significant accounting policies
The provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from the past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is established by discounting forecasted future cash flows to the present value, using the discount rate reflecting current market estimates of the time value of money and the possible risk associated with the obligation.
This item includes provisions for litigation and claims (including the provision for legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans), provisions for off-balance sheet commitments and guarantees given, provisions for defined benefit plans and other provisions. The principles for recognizing provisions for off-balance sheet commitments and guarantees given are described in Note 11.

37. Defined benefit plans
Based on internal regulations in respect to remuneration, the employees of the Group or their families are entitled to defined benefits other than remuneration:
a) retirement benefits,
b) death-in-service benefits.
The present value of such obligations is measured by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The amount of the retirement benefits and death-in-service benefits is dependent on length of service and amount of remuneration. The expected amount of the benefits is discounted actuarially, taking into account the financial discount rate and the probability of an individual get to the retirement age or die while working respectively. The financial discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of reporting period on government bonds. The probability of an individual get to the retirement age or die while working is determined using the multiple decrement model, taking into consideration the following risks: possibility of dismissal from service, risk of total disability to work and risk of death.

These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risk, such as:
interest rate risk the decrease in market yields on government bonds would increase the defined benefit plans obligations,
remuneration risk the increase in remuneration of the Group’s employees would increase the defined benefit plans obligations,
longevity risk the increase in life expectancy of the Group’s employees would increase the defined benefit plans obligations.
The principal actuarial assumptions as at 31 December 2024 are as follows:
the discount rate at the level of 5.9% (5.1 % as at 31 December 2023),
the future salary growth rate at the level of 2.5% (2.5 % as at 31 December 2023),
the probable number of leaving employees calculated on the basis of historical da1a concerning personnel rotation in the Group,
the mortality adopted in accordance with Life Expectancy Tables for men and women, published the Central Statistical Office, adequately adjusted on the basis of historical data of the Group.

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Since January 2019, the System of Variable Remuneration for the Management Team has been in force, reflecting the provisions of the resolution of the General Meeting of the Bank on adjusting the remuneration of members of the management board to the requirements of the Act on the principles of determining the remuneration of persons managing certain companies.
For the System 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 the fair value of the program was estimated based upon the Bank’s shares price on the WSE as of the balance sheet date and expected number of phantom shares to which the rights will be acquired.
For the System 2024, as of 31 December 2024 the Bank prepared the program valuation, presuming that the phantom shares were granted on 31 December 2024. This value will be changed at the actual date of granting the program.
The system of variable remuneration realized in the form of phantom shares is a program settled in cash, and therefore its fair value is adjusted on each balance sheet date until the the program settlement, which in case of this program coincides with the vesting date.
The carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled phantom shares amounted to PLN 88 million as at 31 December 2024 (as at 31 December 2023 – PLN 65 milion).
The total intrinsic value of liabilities for vested rights to phantom shares amounted to PLN 44 million as at 31 December 2024 (as at 31 December 2023 – PLN 56 million).
The remuneration expenses for 2024 relating to the system of variable remuneration in the form of phantom shares amounted to PLN 61 million (in 2023 - PLN 35 million).
The table below presents changes in the number of Bank’s phantom shares (in PLN thousand).

Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Group as a lessee
The Group, as a lessee, recognizes the lease contract as a component of the right-to-use assets and the corresponding lease liability on the date when the subject of the lease is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and accrued interest on the liability. Interest expense is recognized in the income statement over the lease term to obtain a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of two periods: the useful life of the asset or the lease term. The Group recognizes the right-of-use assets in the item of the statement of financial position ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities - in the item of the statement of financial position ‘Amounts due to customers’ or ‘Amounts due to banks’.
The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, comprising:
the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and
an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located, if the lessee incurs liabilities regarding these costs.
On the date when the lease commences, the Group, as a lessee, measures the lease liability in the present value of lease payments outstanding as at that date. The lease liabilities include the current value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable,
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees,
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined, or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
After the lease commencement date, the Group taken into account changes in lease payments (resulting, inter alia, from changes in the index, rate, lease term), by remeasuring the lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets.
The Group does not recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease contracts and lease contracts of low-value assets. Short-term lease payments and payments for leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease contracts are lease contracts that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets include mainly lease of space (land) for ATMs.
Group as a lessor
At commencement date of a lease, the Group, as a lessor, classifies each lease contract as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Group classifies a lease as a finance lease whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an underlying asset. Conversely, if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are not transferred, the lease is considered to be an operating lease. In the process of determining the classification of a lease contract, the Group takes into account elements such as whether the lease term accounts for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset.
Finance lease
At the commencement date, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivables from finance lease (presented in item ‘Loans and advances to customers’) at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease, i.e. at present value of lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value assigned to the Group.
At the finance lease commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not received at the commencement date:
fixed payments, less any lease incentives payable,
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
any residual value guarantees provided to the Group as a lessor,
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
During the lease term, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes interest income, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment in the lease. Lease payments paid over the lease term, reduce both the principal and the accrued interest.
85
Bank Pekao S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
The Group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The estimated unguaranteed residual values used in computing the gross investment in the lease are regularly reviewed by the Group.
Operating lease
During the lease term, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes lease payments from operating lease as income on a straight-line basis and presents them in the item ‘Other operating income’. The depreciation of leased assets is recognized in accordance with the principles applied by the Group for property, plant and equipment.
Financial data

Significant accounting policies
Contingent liabilities and commitments
The Group enters into transactions which are not recognized in the statement of financial position as assets or liabilities, but which result in contingent liabilities and commitments. Contingent liabilities are characterized as:
a potential obligation the existence of which will be confirmed upon occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events that are beyond the control of the Group (e.g. litigations),
a current obligation which arises as a result of past events but is not recognized in the statement of financial position as it is improbable that it will result in an outflow of benefits to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be reliably measured (mainly: unused credit lines and guarantees and letters of credit issued).
Financial guarantees and loan commitments
Financial guarantees are contracts that the Group is required as issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it to be incurred because a specified debtor fails to make when due under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantees are measured at the higher of:
the amount of the loss allowance, or
the amount initially recognised less the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15.
Loan commitments are binding commitments to extend credit under certain prespecified terms and conditions.

45.2. Credit risk
Credit risk is one of the basic risks associated with activities of the Group. The percentage share of credits and loans in the Group’s statement of financial position makes the maintenance of this risk at safe level essential to the Group’s performance. The process of credit risk management is centralized and managed mainly by Risk Management Division units, situated at the Bank Head Office or in local units.
Risk management process covers all credit functions credit analysis, making credit decisions, monitoring and loan administration, as well as restructuring and collection.
These functions are conducted in compliance with the Bank’s credit policy, adopted by the Bank’s Management Board and the Bank’s Supervisory Board for a given reporting year. The effectiveness and efficiency of credit functions are achieved using diverse credit methods and methodologies, supported by advanced IT tools, integrated into the Bank’s general IT system. The Bank’s procedures facilitate credit risk mitigation, in particular those related to transaction risk evaluation, to establishing collateral, setting authorization limits for granting loans and limiting of exposure to some areas of business activity in line with current client’s segmentation scheme in the Bank.
Credit granting authorizations, restrictions on crediting the specific business activities as well as internal and external prudential standards include not only credits, loans and guarantees, but also derivatives transactions and debt securities.
The Bank’s lending activity is limited by the restrictions of the external regulation as well as internal prudential standards in order to increase safety. These restrictions refer in particular to credit exposure concentration, credit quality ratios and exposure limits for particular foreign countries, foreign banks and domestic financial institutions.
The Bank established the following portfolio limits in the Bank’s strategy or credit risk policy:
exposure limits for sectors of economy,
limits on the concentration of largest exposures to client / groups of related clients,
limits for main business lines and currency receivables,
product limits (mortgage loans to private individuals, exposures to business entities secured by mortgage, inculidng financing commercial real estate).
The internal limits system operating in the Bank also includes a number of detailed limits supporting key limits set out in the strategy and credit risk policy.
Moreover, the Bank limits higher risk credit transactions, marked by excess risk by restricting the decision-making powers in such cases to higher-level decision-making bodies.
The management of the Bank’s credit portfolio quality is further supported by regular reviews and continuous monitoring of timely loan repayments and the financial condition of the borrowers.
Armed conflict in Ukraine
In connection with Russia’s armed attack on Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2022, the Group identifies the following threats in the area of credit risk:
credit loss risk for exposures to entities from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, with the Group’s exposure in this regard mostly covered by KUKE policies,
the risk that the conflict will translate into deterioration of the economic and credit conditions for the rest of the portfolio (through the raw material price growth channel, disruption of economic relations, deterioration of consumer sentiment, etc.).
As at 31 December 2024, the Group’s balance sheet net exposure to countries involved in the conflict amounted to PLN 91 million (which represents 0.05% of the Group’s total exposure) as at 31 December 2023 amounted to PLN 129 million (which represents 0.08% of the Group’s total exposure).

Rating models utilized in the credit risk management process
For credit risk management purposes, the Group uses the internal rating models depending on the client’s segment and/or exposure type.
The rating process is a significant element of credit risk assessment in relation to clients and transactions, and constitutes a preliminary stage of the credit decision-making process of granting a new credit or changing the terms and conditions of an existing credit and of the credit portfolio quality monitoring process.
In the credit risk measurement the following three parameters are used: PD, LGD and EAD. PD is the probability of a client’s failure to meet its obligations and hence the violation of contract terms and conditions by the borrower within one year horizon, such default may be subject-matter or product-related. LGD indicates the estimated value of the loss to be incurred for any credit transaction from the date of occurrence of such default. EAD reflects the estimated value of credit exposure as at such date.
The risk parameters based on the rating models are designed for calculation of the expected losses resulted from credit risk.
The value of expected loss is one of the significant assessment criteria taken into consideration by the decision-making bodies in the course of the crediting process. In particular, this value is compared to the requested margin level.
The level of minimum margins for given products or client segments is determined based upon risk analysis, taking into consideration the value of risk parameters assessed.
The client and transaction rating, as well as other credit risk parameters hold a significant role in the Credit Risk Management Information System. For each rating model, the credit risk reports provide information on the comparison between the realized parameters and the theoretical values for each rating class.
Credit risk reports are generated on a monthly basis, with their scope varying depending upon the recipient of the report (the higher the management level, the more aggregated the information presented). Credit risk reports are being used in the credit risk management process.
For internal purposes, within the Group the following rating models are used, developed in accordance with provisions of Regulation (EU) no 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms:
1) For the retail clients, the Group uses the following models applicable for:
micro-enterprises,
private individuals, dividing clients into:
o mortgage loans (secured by mortgage)
o consumer loans (consumer),
o credit cards and renewable limits.
2) For the corporate clients, the Group uses rating models dividing clients into:
corporate clients (corporations),
small and medium enterprises (SME),
local government units.
3) For the corporate clients, Pekao Bank Hipoteczny S.A. uses the SOP rating model (Point Rating System) under the Internal Ratings Based Approach, which involves the use of supervisory classes in the process of assigning risk weights.
4) For specialized lending the Group uses a slotting criteria approach to the Internal Ratings Based Approach, which consists of the use of supervisory classes in the process of assigning risk weights.
In 2022, the Group started the process of adjusting the rating scale for internal rating models in line with the rating scale applicable to external ratings - called Masterscale.

Client/transaction rating and credit risk decision-making level
Decision-making level connected with transaction approval is directly dependent upon the client’s rating.
Decision-making entitlement limits are associated with the position held, determined in accordance with the Bank’s organizational structure. The limits are determined taking the following matters into consideration:
the Bank’s total exposure to a client, including the amount of the requested transaction,
type of a client,
commitments of persons and entities associated with the client.
Validation of rating models
The internal validation of models and risk parameter assessments is focused on the quality assessment of risk models and the accuracy and stability of parameter assessments, applied by the Bank. Validation is carried out at the level of each risk model, although the Bank may apply several models for each class of exposures.
Moreover, the internal audit unit is obligated to review the Bank’s rating systems and their functionality at least once a year. In particular, the internal audit unit reviews the scope of operations of credit division and estimations of risk parameters.

The description of the model for impairment allowance
The Group has recognized impairment allowance in accordance with the IRFS 9. IFRS 9 assumes the calculation of impairment losses based on expected credit losses and taking into account forecasts and expected future economic conditions in the context of credit risk exposure assessment.
Expected credit loss model
Expected credit loss model applies to financial assets classified, in accordance with the IFRS 9, as financial assets at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, with the exception of equity instruments (except for equity instruments), as well as off-balance sheet commitments.
Expected credit loss model in accordance with IFRS 9 is based on the allocation of exposure to one of the three stages, depending on credit quality changes compared to the initial recognition of assets in the accounting records. How to calculate the impairment loss depends on the stage.
STAGE
CLASSIFICATION CRITERION TO THE STAGE
THE METHOD OF CALCULATING THE IMPAIRMENT ALLOWANCE
Stage 1
Exposures for which no significant increase in credit risk has been identified since the initial recognition until the balance sheet date and no impairment was identified
12-month expected credit losses
Stage 2
Exposures for which a significant increase in credit risk has been identified since the initial recognition until the balance sheet date and no impairment was identified
Stage 3
Exposures for which impairment has been identified
Lifetime expected credit losses
In addition, financial assets that were classified as POCI at the time of initial recognition are treated as POCI (i.e. purchased or originated credit-impaired) in all subsequent periods until they are derecognised. This rule applies even if, in the meantime, the asset has been healed. In other words, assets once recognized as POCI remain in this status regardless of future changes in estimates of their cash flows.
In the case of instruments with the POCI status, life-time expected credit losses are recognized throughout the lifetime of these instruments.
Calculation of expected credit losses
For the purpose of calculating the credit loss in accordance with IFRS 9, the Group compares cash flows that it should receive pursuant to the agreement with the borrower and flows estimated by the Group that it expects to receive. The difference is discounted using the effective interest rate.
Expected credit losses are determined in the contractual maturity period with the exception of products meeting the criteria of IFRS 9 para. 5.5.20, for which the Group determines the expected losses in the period in which it is exposed to credit risk (i.e. in the economic maturity).

Methodology for calculating group parameters - PD, RR and EAD.
The lifetime ECL calculation requires the use of long-term risk parameters.
Multi-year PD parameters are an assessment of the probability of a default event in the next annual intervals in the lifetime horizon. The long-term PD curve for a given exposure depends on the current value of the 12M PD parameter (and the appropriate rating class) determined based on the internal PD models of the Group. In the estimation, the Group:
estimates unbiased PD parameters without taking into account additional margins of conservatism (IFRS 9, paragraph 5.5.17 (a)),
takes into account current and forecasted macroeconomic conditions (IFRS 9, paragraph 5.5.17 (c)).
The calculation of expected recovery rates (RR) is based on the ‘pool’ model, in which, within homogeneous groups, average monthly recoveries are calculated conditionally against the months since default (MSD). Homogeneous groups of accounts were separated on the basis of the following characteristics:
the type of a borrower,
product type,
ranges of the LTV parameter (for mortgages and housing loans) or credit amount (for chosen products).
As part of defined homogeneous groups, average monthly recovery rates are calculated, which consist of repayments and recoveries resulting from both the secured part and the unsecured exposure, weighted by the value of outstanding capital observed at the beginning of a given MSD.
For products for which a repayment schedule is available, the Group sets the exposure value at the moment of default (EAD, Exposure at Default) and principal at the moment of default (PAD, Principal at Default) in the lifetime (ie for future repayments) based on contractual payment schedules and taking into account the following effects:
the effect of arrears on principal and interest installments related to the expected non-payment of the last installments prior to the occurrence of the default,
the effect of arrears of payments (principal and interest) on the date of calculation of the provision,
the effect of settlement of the EIR adjustment over time.
For products for which a repayment schedule is not available, the Group sets the long-term EAD and PAD using the CCF (Credit Conversion Factor) and parameters . CCF parameters vary depending on the portfolio and the time horizon of EAD /
PAD estimation.
For exposures for which it is not possible to determine risk parameters based on internal models, the Group adopts an approach based on using parameters from other portfolios with similar characteristics.
The models and parameters used to calculate impairment allowance are periodically validated.
Changes in the methodology of calculation an expected credit losses introduced in 2024
The Group has not materially changed its approach to the calculation of impairment allowances in 2024. In particular, it has not, compared to the end of 2023, made significant changes to its portfolio quality forecasting and continues to use trend analysis for retail portfolios and quantitative/expert analysis for other portfolios. However, a number of point modifications have been made.
The most significant change concerned the withdrawal of the increase in the PD (Probability of Default) parameter for companies operating in high-risk industries introduced in 2022 and disclosed in the financial statements for the first half of this year. This withdrawal took place due to the stabilization of the economic situation and a decrease in the forecasted portfolio loss ratio. It also took into account the results of monitoring models for estimating the expected credit loss.
Another concerned the probabilities used for the scenarios to materialise. In 2023, the Group assigned a probability of 45% to the base scenario, 5% to the positive scenario and 50% to the negative scenario. In 2024, the Group changed the applied scenario distribution to 60% probability of the base scenario, 5% of the positive scenario and 35% of the negative scenario. The increase in the probability of the base scenario reflects the stabilisation of the economic situation and positive macroeconomic forecasts.
In addition, as part of the development of the expected credit loss calculation methodologies, the time series of the definition of default was retrospectively recalculated in accordance with the EBA/GL/2016/07 Guidelines for historical periods. A more accurate approximation was used in place of the simplifications used in the data prior to 2018 (in particular in terms of increasing the frequency of lag observations). This allowed a more consistent time series to be used to model the credit risk parameters used to calculate expected credit losses.

Among other changes, the maximum recovery period taken into account for the consumer credit portfolio was reduced from 72 to 60 months following the results of additional analyses in this area and, following the acquisition of data, the inclusion of direct costs in the calculation of expected losses using statistical methods was improved. Adjustments were also made to reduce the expected recovery for exposures for which all debtors are subject to consumer bankruptcy. The change was introduced in view of the increasing popularity of this form of debt exit and the significantly lower expected recoverability in such cases.
Additionally, in 2024, there were several cases of significant customers who were identified as defaulted.
In total, the changes described above mostly compensated each other without significantly affecting the cost of allowances for expected credit losses.
Sensitivity analysis of ECL in established changes of PD and RR/LGD parameters
The tables below present the results of the ECL sensitivity analysis for the assumed changes in PD and RR/LGD parameters carried out separately for exposures subject to individual and group analysis. For the exposures included in the Bank analysis, the PD and recovery rate (1-RR=LGD) increase and decrease by 1% and 5% scenario were presented compared to the values used to calculate the expected credit loss as of date 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023. For the exposures analyzed individually, the estimated impact is presented as a reduction of recoveries from collaterals included in the debt collection scenario by 10%.

Exposures with low credit risk
According to par. 5.5.10 IFRS 9 exposures that are considered as low risk credit exposures at the reporting date may remain in Stage 1, regardless of the scale of the relative credit deterioration from the initial recognition. According to par. B.5.5.22 of IFRS 9, the credit risk of a financial instrument is considered low when:
the financial instrument has a low risk of default,
the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term,
adverse changes in the economic and business conditions in the long term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
The Group applies a low credit risk criterion for three portfolios: exposures to banks, exposures to local government units and exposures to the State Treasury and the National Bank of Poland.
Classification criteria to Stage 2
Financial assets for which at the balance sheet date the Group will identify a significant increase in credit risk from the initial recognition are classified in Stage 2. The Group recognizes that for a given asset a significant increase in credit risk has been identified if a quantitative or qualitative criterion is met, in particular if contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, where the occurrence of a given criterion is verified at the exposure level.

Quantitative criteria
Taking into account the requirements of the standard, the Group defined two basic characteristics of the quantitative model:
the measure on the basis of which risk change assessment is made,
the materiality threshold of the measure, above which the Bank recognizes that there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
The measure, on the basis of which risk change assessment is made, was set by the Group as the ratio of the annual average :
current credit risk assessment defined as lifetime PD in the horizon from the reporting date to the maturity date determined on the basis of the characteristics effective as at the reporting date,
the original credit risk assessment defined as lifetime PD in the period from the reporting date to the maturity date determined on the basis of the characteristics applicable as at the date of initial recognition.
The assessment of significance of credit risk deterioration is carried out by comparing the observed measure with the threshold above which the Group considers that a significant deterioration in credit risk occurred.
This threshold is 2 increased by the mark-up. The calibration of the mark-up is done separately for each homogeneous group of portfolios modeled to correspond to the Group's risk appetite in the period at the time of origination the transaction.
The absolute quantitative criterion for classification Stage 2 is the value of one-year PD determined using scoring / rating models above the level of 25%. This criterion results from the fact that the Group granting loans does not accept the risk higher than approximately 10%. A 25% PD therefore by definition means a significant increase in credit risk.
The Group additionally applies benchmarking of the level of loans classified in Stage 2 based on NBP data and the average long-term DR (default rate) of a given portfolio. If the share of Stage 2 in the Bank is lower than the long-term average for the polish banking sector in a given portfolio (or three times DR), then the Bank classifies exposures into the Stage 2 until the average is reached, where the credits are moved in the order corresponding to their distance from Stage 2 in based on the other 2 criteria mentioned before.
Each of the three criteria described is applied separately.
The tables below present the arithmetic average (*) values of the risk change measure as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 determined for the most significant portfolios covered by the quantitative model.

(*) The measure on the basis of which the risk change is assessed is determined by the Bank as the ratio of:
current credit risk assessment defined as lifetime PD in the horizon from the reporting date to the maturity date, determined on the basis of the characteristics applicable as at the reporting date,
original credit risk assessment defined as lifetime PD in the period from the reporting date to the maturity date, determined on the basis of the characteristics valid at the date of initial recognition.
Qualitative criteria
As a result of the monitoring process carried out by the Group, the qualitative criteria for the allocation to Stage 2 are identified, such as:
the amount of arrears simultaneously above the set materiality threshold (PLN 400 for retail exposures and PLN 2 000 for non-retail exposures) and the relative threshold of 1% for over 30 days up to 90 days inclusive,
a delay in repayment over 90 days, below thresholds of materiality,
occurrence of forbearance status,
exposure is on the Watchlist.

In addition to the above, for individual monitoring the Group has defined a number of specific quality criteria for various types of portfolios, such as, inter alia, changes in the internal rating, changes in supervisory classes for selected segments (eg specialized financing), warning signals identified in the monitoring system and credit risk management or the results of individual monitoring.
In the case of granting credit holidays under the Act on crowdfunding for business ventures and assistance to borrowers of 14 July 2023, the Group applies an approach consistent with regulatory guidelines in this regard. Granting credit holidays does not result in automatic reclassification to Stage 2. However, such reclassification is performed if the deterioration of credit risk is affected by additional factors indicating the debtor's problems. During the credit holidays, the Group suspends the counting of overdue days.
Classification criteria to Stage 3
Financial assets for which at the balance sheet date the Group has identified occurrences of the default event are classified in Stage 3.
The Group recognizes that for a given asset a default was identified if at least one of the following occurred:
amount of arrears simultaneously above the set materiality threshold (PLN 400 for retail exposures and PLN 2 000 for non-retail exposures) and the relative threshold of 1% for over 90 days,
exposure during the restructuring process,
other qualitative impairment trigger.
For SME and corporate segments, default is identified at the customer level, whereas for the retail segment at the customer/product group level. The criterion of days and amounts of delays is also defined at the level of identification.
The Group applies a six-month quarantine period effective from the moment all defaults cease to exist.
Forecast of risk parameters
Based on significant inertia of retail portfolios, a trend analysis of historical default rates have been applied. Based on the history of realized default rates for portfolios of retail exposures, trends were estimated, which were then used for future projections. For non-retail portfolios projections are based on expert judgment of the economic conditions applied to the long term average through the cycle parameters. The analysis for non-retail portfolios consists of the following steps: an expert evaluation of the forecasted economic conditions based on Group’s projections and studies carried out by the Central Statistical Office in Poland (GUS), translation of this evaluation onto quantitative measure at the scale 0-100% indicating the phase of the economic cycle (e.g. 75% represents situation where in the past 75% of observation situation is better and in 25% is worse), finally getting the corresponding quantile of the historical default rates and use of it as the forecast for first year. For the second year forecast assumes the linear convergence to average through the cycle parameters which is assumed to take place in the fifth year (which mirrors few years long credit cycles).
Tables below show 12-month PD forecasts used in the calculation of expected credit losses in baseline scenario. For retail portfolios the parameters are weighted with the gross carrying amount limited to PLN 2 million at the loan level and at the customer level for SME loans. For non-retail, the parameters are weighted with the gross carrying amount limited to PLN 20 million at the client level. Forecasts in the baseline, upward and downward scenarios include the PD mark-up for higher-risk industries described in the Expected credit loss model section.

Scenarios definition
The PD parameters presented in the previous section refer to a baseline scenario for the development of portfolio quality. They reflect the assumption of an exit from the economic downturn with continued elevated inflation and interest rates (GDP growth of 2.9%, average annual inflation of around 3.6% and year-end WIBOR 3M of 5.9%). The assumptions for the remaining scenarios and the weights assigned to them are presented below.
In the applied approach the Group used 3 scenario of evolution of quality of the portfolio: baseline (presented above), upward (assuming positive change in the credit quality of the portfolio in the next years compared to the baseline) and downward (assuming negative change in the credit quality of the portfolio in the next years compared to the baseline). The baseline scenario has the probability of occurrence of 60%, upward of 5% and downward of 35%. The share of the negative scenario reflects the Bank's expert assessment of the uncertainties facing the Polish economy. On the one hand, there is an economic rebound visible in GDP growth. On the other hand, the economic slowdown of the recent period was one of the strongest in the last 15 years excluding the COVID-19 period based on both macroeconomic data (GDP, inflation, producer inflation, interest rates) and economic surveys (CSO, NBP, PMI). In addition, there are also geopolitical risks that may negatively affect Poland's economic situation.
The diversified nature of the observed threats and the breakdown of the dependencies between the parameters of the quality of the loan portfolio and the macroeconomic variables means that it is impossible to formulate scenarios in the form of extreme changes in macroeconomic factors. Therefore, the Group applied an alternative approach in which the PD change scenarios are determined based on the historical variability of the DR. The downward scenario is assigned values corresponding to the high past observations, and similarly to the upward scenario, the values corresponding to the low past observations are assigned. This translates into the following 12-month PD forecasts.

The Group also carried out analysis confirming the lack of dependence of the recovery rates for non-performing exposures (RR parameter) on the economic situation. Therefore, the same recovery rates are assumed in each of the scenarios.
The subsidiaries of the Bank determine expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. Due to their characteristics and portfolios the scenarios used in the calculation of expected credit losses is not fully aligned.
Sensitivity analysis regarding the forecast of the macroeconomic situation
The Group estimates probability weighted expected credit losses taking into account 3 macro-economic scenarios:
baseline (occurring with a probability of 60%),
upward (occurring with a probability of 5%),
downward (occurrin with a probability of 35%).

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Credit risk mitigation methods
Group has established specific policies with regard to collateral accepted to secure loans and guarantees. This policy is reflected under internal rules and regulations, which are based on supervision rules, specified in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms.
The most frequently used types of collateral for credits and loans, accepted in compliance with the relevant policy of Group are as follows
COLLATERAL
COLLATERAL VALUATION PRINCIPLES
MORTGAGES
commercial
residential
Collateral value is defined as the fair market value endorsed by a real estate expert. Other evidenced sources of valuation are acceptable, e.g. binding purchase offer, value dependent on the stage of tendering procedure, etc.
REGISTERED PLEDGE/ ASSIGNMENT:
inventories
The value is defined basing on well evidenced sources e.g. amount derived from pledge agreement, amount disclosed in last financial statements, insurance policy, stock exchange quotations, the value disclosed through foreclosure procedure supported with evidence e.g. prepared by bailiff/receiver.
machines and appliances
The value is defined as expert appraisal or present value determined based on other, sound sources, such as current purchase offer, register of debtor’s non-current assets, value evidenced by bailiff or court receiver, etc.
Vehicles
The value is defined based on available tables (e.g. from insurance companies) proving the car value depending on its producer, age, initial price, or other reliable sources e.g. value stated in the insurance policy.
other
The value is defined upon individually. The valuation should result from reliable sources.
securities and cash
The value is defined upon individually estimated fair market value. Recovery rate shall be assessed prudently reflecting the securities price volatility.
TRANSFER OF RECEIVABLES
from clients with investment rating assigned by independent rating agency or by internal rating system of the Bank
The value is defined upon individually assessed claims’ amount.
from other counterparties
The value is defined upon individually assessed claim’s amount.
GUARANTIES/SURETIES (INCL. RAFTS)/ACCESSION TO DEBT
from banks and the State Treasury
Up to the guaranteed amount.
from other counterparties enjoying good financial standing, particularly when confirmed by investment rating, assigned by an independent rating agency or by the internal rating system of the Bank
The value is defined upon individually assessed claim’s amount.
from other counterparties
Individually assessed fair market value.
The financial effect of pledged collaterals for exposure portfolio with recognized impairment defined individually amounts to PLN 629 million as at 31 December 2024 (PLN 524 millionas at 31 December 2023). The level of required impairment allowances for the portfolio would increase by this amount, if the discounted cash flows from collateral were not taken into account during estimation.

c) Breakdown by industrial sectors.
In order to mitigate credit risk associated with excessive sector concentration the Bank sets up a system for shaping the sectoral structure of credit exposure. Every year within credit risk policy the Bank defines sector limits for particular sectors of economy. These limits are subject to ongoing monitoring. The system applies to credit exposure in particular types of business activity according to the classification based on the Polish Classification of Economic Activities (Polska Klasyfikacja Działalności – PKD).
Concentration limits are set based on the Bank’s current credit exposure and risk assessment of each sector. Periodic monitoring of the Bank’s exposure allows for ongoing identification of the sectors in which the concentration of sector risk may be too excessive. In such cases, an analysis of the economic situation of the sector is performed including both the current and forecast trends and an assessment of quality of the current exposure to that sector. These measures enable the Bank to formulate the activities to reduce sector concentration risk and ongoing adaptation of the Bank’s credit risk policy to a changing environment.

Restructured exposures
The Group considers a restructured exposure the exposure whose repayment terms have been changed during the term of the liability to the debtor who experiences or is likely to experience financial difficulties. The change of contractual conditions includes restructuring measures specified by the Group, in particular:
the extension of initial maturity (due) date (in case of additional appendix to the contract) or signing a restructuring contract (in case of full past-due debt), in particular as a result of constant reduction of installments amount,
the modification of the contract’s terms or conditions which results in lower interests and/or principal payments to eliminate the past-due debt,
the refinancing by the other loan in the Group.
A restructured exposure that has been:
classified as non-performing due to restructuring measures, or
classified as non-performing prior to commencement of forbearance measures, or
transferred from the performing to non-performing exposure class, including as a result of more than 30 days past due for a restructured exposure in a conditional period, it is classified as a forborne non-performing exposure.

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
The classification as forborne exposure shall be discontinued when all the following conditions are met:
the contract is considered as a performing exposure,
a minimum 2 year probation period has passed from the date the forborne exposure was considered as performing,
none of the exposures to the debtor is at least 30 days past-due at the end of the probation period of forborne exposure.
If conditions, referred above, are not fullfiled at the end of the probation period, exposures are classified respectively as performing or non-performing forborne exposures in the probation period untill all these conditions are met. The fullfilment of the conditions is assesed at least on a quarterly basis.
Exposure is classified as restructuring exposure only if the modification of the contractual terms is related to the financial difficulties of the borrower.
The restructuring exposure agreements are monitored for fulfillment of the obligations contained in the agreement.
The decision to apply the restructuring exposure measure is undertaken by the authorized Unit within the credit application process.
The accounting policies in respect to the evaluation and the provisioning of the forborne exposures generally follow the principles in line with the provisions of IFRS 9.
In the case of granting loan holidays, the Group applies an approach consistent with regulatory guidelines in this regard. Granting loan holidays does not automatically identify restructuring exposure (forborne exposures).

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The disclosures in the tables below include financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to an enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements, irrespective of whether they are offset in the statement of financial position.
The netting agreements concluded by the Group are:
ISDA agreements and similar master netting agreements on derivatives,
GMRA agreements on repo and reverse-repo transactions.
The netting agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. This is because they create for the parties to the agreement a right of set-off of recognized amounts that is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the one of the counterparty. At the balance, day there were no cases of offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities for these netting agreements.
The Group receives and gives collateral in the form of cash and marketable securities in respect of the derivatives transactions.
Such collateral is subject to standard industry terms. The collateral in the form of cash stems from an ISDA Credit Support Annex (CSA).

45.3. Legal risk regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF
Adopted accounting principles
As indicated in Note 4, as of 1 January 2024 the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to recognizing the impact of legal risk arising from court and settlements proceedings related to mortgage loans in CHF and in relation to active loans (unpaid as at the balance sheet date) presents the impact of this legal risk in accordance with the provisions paragraph B.5.4.6 of IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the mortgage loan portfolio in CHF.
In the case of loans active at the balance sheet date, this approach results in the recognition of the estimated impact of legal risk as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of these loans. However, in a situation where the estimated loss due to legal risk is higher than the gross carrying amount of the loan, the amount of the surplus is presented similarly to the provision determined for repaid loans, i.e. in accordance with IAS 37 'Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’.
At the same time, part of the provision concerns additional costs related to the possible loss of a court dispute (i.e. interest for delay and costs of legal representation) due to the fact that they do not result from the loan agreement are recognized in accordance with IAS 37 as an element of the ‘Provisions’ (regardless of whether this estimate concerns an active loan agreement or a repaid loan).
Court proceedings related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF
The line of case law concerning loans denominated in CHF, which was shaped in the years 2019-2024, is generally unfavourable for banks. This applies to the judgments of Polish common courts, the Supreme Court (‘SC’) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘CJEU).
The case law recognizing conversion clauses as unfair (denomination mechanism) should now be considered well-established. In 2019, the CJEU issued a ruling (C-260/18) on a CHF-indexed loan granted by another bank, in which it interpreted the provisions of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in contracts. The CJEU indicated the effects of the recognition of the abusiveness of conversion clauses by a national court, without prejudging that if the national court found such clauses to be abusive, the court should automatically recognize the invalidity of the entire contract. However, subsequent CJEU rulings excluded the admissibility of filling the gap after eliminating the unfair provision under national law.
Bank Pekao S.A .

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
In its rulings, the SC found that setting exchange rates based on the rates from the bank’s table is clearly contrary to good practice and grossly violates the interests of the consumer (Supreme Court judgment of 11 December 2019, V CSK 382/18). The case law also excluded the application of the balance theory to the settlement of the parties’ mutual claims after a loan indexed to or denominated in the CHF was found to be invalid.
On 15 June 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union announced its judgment in Case C-520/21, in which it resolved the preliminary question of the District Court for Warsaw - Śródmieście in Warsaw, stating in the verdict that in the context of recognizing a mortgage loan agreement as invalid in its entirety on the grounds that it can no longer be in force after unfair terms have been removed from it. The judgment in question closed the way for banks to claim the so-called remuneration for the use of capital, while in the scope of consumer claims against banks, the CJEU referred to national law and emphasized that it is for the referring court to assess, in the light of all the circumstances of the dispute, whether taking into account such consumer claims is consistent with the principle of proportionality.
On 7 December 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment (C-140/22), in which it stated that the possibility of exercising rights by a consumer cannot be made conditional on the submission by the consumer of a declaration before the court of consent to upholding an unfair contractual term, consent to the invalidity of the contract and a declaration that he is aware of the consequences of the invalidity of the contract. Moreover, the CJEU found that when settling the invalidity of the contract, banks cannot retain the right to capital interest accrued in the course of performance of the contract, thus stating that banks cannot demand compensation from the consumer that goes beyond the return of the paid capital.
On 11 December 2023, the CJEU issued a decision (C-756/22) in which it ruled that if a national court finds a loan agreement invalid in its entirety, the bank has no right to demand from the consumer the repayment of amounts other than the capital paid for the performance of that agreement and statutory default interest from the moment the bank is called upon to pay.
On 12 January 2024, the CJEU in case C 488/23 ruled that the provisions of the Directive should be interpreted in such a way that they preclude a judicial interpretation of the law of a Member State, according to which a credit institution has the right to demand from the consumer - in addition to the repayment of the capital amounts paid for the performance of that contract and statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment - compensation consisting in the judicial indexation of the benefit paid. In the issued decision, the CJEU assumed that the institution of indexation is part of the concept of compensation.
On 25 April 2024, the Supreme Court adopted a resolution (ref. III CZP 25/22) in which it confirmed its previous position on the issue of the applicability of the two-condition theory and the impossibility of supplementing the gap in the agreement resulting from the removal of abusive clauses by law. In addition, the Supreme Court found that the limitation period for banks' claims for repayment of amounts paid under the loan begins on the day following the day on which the borrower challenged the validity of the loan agreement and in the event that the agreement is deemed invalid, there is no legal basis for either party to demand interest or other remuneration for the use of its funds in the period from the provision of the undue benefit to the moment of falling into delay in the repayment of that benefit.
The justification of the resolution confirms all the unfavorable theses to banks that were presented in the court decisions to date.
On June 19, 2024, the Supreme Court adopted a resolution (III CZP 31/23) in which it ruled that the right of retention does not apply to a party that may offset its receivable against the receivable of the other party. The Supreme Court resolution eliminates the possibility of exercising the right of retention by the Group.
Until 31 December 2024, 8.8 thousand individual court cases were pending against the Group regarding foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF, which were granted in previous years, with the total value of the claim in the amount of PLN 3 111 million (as at 31 December 2023, the number of cases was 5.8 thousand, and the corresponding value of the dispute is PLN 1 938 million). The main cause of the dispute, as indicated by the plaintiffs, concerns the questioning of the provisions of the loan agreement with regard to the Bank's application of conversion rates based on the Group's exchange rate Table and results in claims regarding the partial or complete invalidity of the loan agreements. During 2024, the Bank received 2 419 unfavorable court judgments in cases brought by borrowers, including 480 final judgments and 45 favorable court judgments, including 4 final judgments (in 2023: 1 303 unfavorable court judgments, including 197 final judgments stating the invalidity of the loan agreement and 40 favorable court judgments, including 3 final judgments dismissing).
Court settlement program
On 2 October 2023, the Bank started offering out-of-court settlements under the name ‘2% safe settlement’. The program applies to borrowers who as of 31 March 2023 had an active mortgage loan agreement denominated in CHF, including those in legal dispute with the Bank.

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
As part of the settlement, a new debt balance is determined, expressed in PLN and calculated as the loan amount paid by the Bank, increased by contractual interest calculated at a fixed interest rate of 2% per annum and reduced by all repayments made by the borrower until the settlement is concluded. The amount of debt remaining after the settlement bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 2% per annum for the first 60 months, and thereafter in accordance with the Bank's current offer. If the new debt balance turns out to be negative (i.e. there is an overpayment), the Bank refunds the overpaid amount to the borrower.
Over 95% of borrowers have already received a settlement offer. By the end of 2024, the Bank concluded over 7 thousand settlements.
Legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF - assumptions and calculation methodology
The calculation of the provision performed by the Group as at 31 December 2024 was based on estimating the expected loss of the Group resulting from the possible materialization of the legal risk of mortgage loans in CHF. The estimate carried out by the Group includes the following key elements:
1) forecast of disputes
The Group updated its forecast based on data for 2024 . In particular, the entire forecast of future lawsuits concerns loans denominated, active or fully repaid within the last 10 years.
The Group estimates that in total, i.e. counting the lawsuits that have been and will be brought by borrowers against the Group, approximately 55% (compared to 41% at the end of 2023) of the total amount of such loans granted, amounting to CHF 1.6 billion, may be covered by dispute (including approximately 85% for active agreements and approximately 30% for repaid agreements), and the phenomenon of the inflow of lawsuits may remain significant until the end of 2028.
2) the likelihood of losing a court case
According to the opinion of an external law firm, for the denominated loans acquired by the Bank as a result of the acquisition (demerger) of Bank BPH, the Bank estimates the probability that the contractual provisions will be considered abusive at a minimum of 99% (against 95% at the end of 2023).
3) financial implications of court disputes
The Group assumes that if the court finds the contractual provisions abusive, the resolution of the court dispute will be the invalidation of the loan agreement. In relation to the approach at the end of 2023, this means abandoning the consideration of other possible consequences ('de-franking' the contract, replacing the Bank's exchange rate table with the average NBP exchange rate and dismissing the lawsuit).
Moreover, additional costs related to the resolution of litigation are recognized and are calculated for the entire portfolio covered by the reserve calculation: interest for delay and costs of legal representation.
4) inclusion of a settlement program
If a settlement is reached, the Bank no longer expects a lawsuit under a given contract, what is included in the forecast of future lawsuits. Otherwise, the probability and distribution of resolutions of the court dispute are the same as described in point 1)-3.
The level of the provision set by the Group requires each time the Group adopts many expert assumptions based on professional judgement.
Subsequent rulings and possible sectoral solutions that will appear on the Polish market with regard to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF may affect the amount of the provision determined by the Group and cause the necessity to change individual assumptions adopted in the calculations. In connection with the above-mentioned uncertainty, it is possible that the amount of the provision will change in the future.
Legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans in CHF – results and allocation
As at 31 December 2024 the level of accumulated costs of legal risk regarding mortgage loans in CHF estimated by the Bank amounted to PLN 2 501 million and decreased by PLN 124 million compared to the level as at 31 December 2023. Cumulative legal risk costs increased by PLN 352 million, mainly as a result of an updated forecast of the future inflow of disputes and the costs of concluded settlements .

45.4. Market risk
The Group is exposed in its operations to market risk and other types of risk caused by changing market risk parameters.
Market risk is the risk of deteriorating financial result or capital of the Group resulting from market changes. The main factors of market risk are as follows:
interest rates,
foreign exchange rates,
stock prices,
commodity prices.
The Group established a market risk management system, providing structural, organizational and methodological frames for the purpose of shaping the structure of balance and off-balance items to assure the achievement of strategic goals.
The main objective of market risk management is to optimize financial results so as to assure the implementation of financial goals of the Group while keeping the exposure to market risk within the risk appetite defined through risk limits approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
The organization of the market risk management process is based on a three-tier control system, established in compliance with the best international banking practices and recommendations from banking supervision. The process of market risk management and procedures regulating it have been developed taking into consideration the split into trading and banking books.
Market risk of the trading book
The Group’s management of market risk of the trading book aims at optimizing the financial results and assuring the highest possible quality of customer service in reference to the market accessibility (market making) while staying within the limits of risk approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
The main tool for market risk of the trading book measurement is Value at Risk model (VaR). This value corresponds to the level of a one-day loss, which will be exceeded with the probability not greater than 1%. VaR value is calculated with historical simulation method based on 2 years of historical observations of market risk factors’ dynamics. The set of factors used when calculating VaR consists of all significant market factors that are taken into account for valuation of financial instruments, excluding specific credit risk of an issuer and counterparty. Estimating the impact of changes in market factors on the present value of a given portfolio is performed under the full revaluation (which is a difference between the value of the portfolio after the adjustments in market parameters’ levels by historically observed changes of the parameters and the present value of the portfolio). For such a set of probable changes in the portfolio value (distribution), VaR is defined to be equal to 1% quantile.
The model is subject to continuous, statistical verification by comparing the VaR values to actual and revaluated performance figures. Results of analyses carried out in 2024 and 2023 confirmed the adequacy of the model applied.
The table below presents the market risk exposure of the trading portfolio of the Group measured by Value at Risk as at 31 December 2024 and as at 31 December 2023.

Interest rate risk of the banking book
In managing the interest rate risk of the banking book the Group aims at hedging the economic value of capital and achieving the planned interest result within the accepted limits. The financial position of the Group in relation to changing interest rates is monitored by using various measures of interest rate risk, including the interest rate gap (repricing gap), duration analysis, sensitivity analysis of net interest income and economic value of equity in scenarios of parallel and non-parallel changes in interest rates and Value at Risk. The interest rate risk of the banking book measurement is generally carried out on a monthly basis.
In 2024, remaining at a relatively high level of interest rates and high banking sector liquidity had a significant impact on the level of the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk and the amount of net interest income. The Bank maintains a balanced interest rate’s risk profile. The economic value of capital and the income stream were secured by concluding IRS transactions on an appropriate scale and by purchasing fixed-coupon bonds.
The table below presents the sensitivity levels of the contractual interest income (NII) to the interest rate change by 100 b.p. and of economic value of the Bank’s equity (EVE) to the interest rate change by 200 b.p. (standard regulatory shock excluding the risk profile of own funds) for the end of December 2024 and December 2023.

The objective of liquidity risk management is to:
ensure and maintain the Group’s solvency with respect to current and future payables taking into account the cost of acquiring liquidity and return on the Group’s equity,
prevent the occurrance of crisis situations, and
provide solutions necessary to survive a crisis situation when such circumstances occur.
The Group has centralized liquidity risk management system covering current liquidity management and first level control performed by the responsible functions, the second level control carried out by a dedicated unit responsible for risk management and the third level control performed by an independent audit.
Managing the Group's liquidity is carried out in intraday, short-term and long-term horizon. Analysing of intraday liquidity concerns flows realized during the day, through a short-term liquidity analysis is understood liquidity measurement system which refers to the time horizon shorter than one year, long-term analysis covers period above one year. Due to the specific tools and techniques used for liquidity risk management, the Group manages current and medium-term liquidity together with short-term liquidity.
The liquidity control is performing as a continuous process of determining and analysing the levels of various indicators and measures related to intraday, short-term and long-term liquidity. Monitoring frequency is matched to the specific liquidity aspect e.g. daily for short-term liquidity, monthly for long-term liquidity. Liquidity ratios and measures are subject to a formal limiting process. The limits’ utilisation is regularly monitored and presented to the Management of the Bank and subsidiaries. In case of exceeding, escalation process is running as to inform decision-makers and ultimately to restore the liquidity risk exposures to acceptable levels.
Scenario-based stress analyses, conducted on a monthly basis, constitute an integral part of the Group’s liquidity monitoring process. Within the scope of these analyses the Group’s liquidity is assessed under the conditions of crisis which is caused by financial markets or is caused by internal factors, specific to the Group.
Managing the liquidity, the Group pays special attention to the liquidity in foreign currencies through monitoring, limiting and controlling the liquidity individually for each currency, as well as monitoring demand for the current and future currency liquidity and in case of identification of such need the Group hedges using currency swaps. It is also monitored the potential influence on the liquidity of placing required collateral deposits for derivative transaction.

In order to define the principles of contingency liquidity management, Bank prepared ‘Contingency Liquidity Principles’ approved by the Management Board, which defines the contingency procedures in the event of crisis situations. This principles involve daily monitoring of the system and specific early-warning indicators for the Bank and the Group as well as three levels of liquidity risk states depending on the level of early-warning indicators, the Bank’s, the Group’s and market situation. It also defines the sources for covering the expected outflows from the Group. This document sets the procedures for monitoring the liquidity states, emergency action procedures, task forces dedicated for restoring the Group’s liquidity and the Management's responsibilities for taking necessary decisions to restore the required liquidity level.
Below are presented basic quantitative information concerning the Group's liquidity at the end of 2024 year in comparison to the end of 2023. They cover the structure of financial liabilities by contractual maturity, supervisory measures of long-term liquidity and Liquidity Coverage Ratio (‘LCR’) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), adjusted liquidity gap and financial flows from derivative transactions.

(*) The values of regulatory liquidity ratios have been determined in accordance with the principles set out by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 of 10 October 2014 to supplement Regulation No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council with regard to liquidity coverage requirement for credit institutions.
Adjusted liquidity gap
The adjusted liquidity gaps presented below include, inter alia, the adjustments concerning the stability of core deposits and their maturities, adjustments of flows from granted off-balance sheet commitments arising from financing, guarantees and from assets without contractual repayment schedules. On top of that, included are also the adjusted flows stemming from the security portfolio and flows resulting from earlier repayment of mortgage loans portfolio. These are the main elements differentiating the adjusted gaps from unadjusted ones. Moreover, the gaps are of static nature, i.e. they do not take into consideration the impact of changes of balance sheet and off-balance sheet items volume (i.e. new deposits).

Operational risk is defined as the risk of losses resulting from inadequacy or failure of internal processes, people, systems or external events. It includes law risk, whereas strategic risk, business risk and reputation risk are separate risk categories.
Operational risk management is based on internal procedures that are consistent with the law requirements, resolutions, recommendations and guidelines of the supervisor. Operational risk management includes identification, assessment, monitoring, preventing and reporting. Identification and assessment of operational risk is based on an analysis of internal factors and external factors that may have a significant impact on the achievement of the objectives of the Group. The main tools used in identifying and assessing operational risk are: internal operational events, external operational events, key risk indicators, scenario analysis and self-assessment of operational risk. Monitoring activities are conducted on three levels of defence: risk management in operational activity of the Bank (all employees), risk management control (Integrated Risk Management Department) and internal audit (Internal Audit Department). Preventing operational risk includes definition of operational risk limits and the obligation to initiate mitigation actions in case they are exceeded, the system of internal control, business continuity plans and insurance coverage. Operational risk reporting system enables the assessment of the Group's exposure to operational risk and the effective management of this risk, and also plays a fundamental role in the process of informing the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and executives of the Group's exposure to operational risk. It is based in particular on the quarterly reports on operational risk control that include, among others: profile of operational risk, loss limit utilization, analysis of trends in the relevant categories of operational risk, potential losses, information on key indicators of operational risk and operational risk capital requirement.
The Supervisory Board and the Management Board, supported respectively by the Supervisory Board Risk Committee and the Operational Risk Committee, are involved in operational risk management. The Integrated Risk Management Department coordinates the process of operational risk management. All employees of the Group and selected specialized units are responsible in their areas for operational risk management, due to diversified character of this risk which requires professional knowledge.
In order to ensure compliance of the operational risk management system with regulatory requirements, at least once a year verification of the operational risk management system is carried out.

45.7. Climate risk
In a broader context, matters related to the ESG Strategy of the Bank, including climate-related issues and actions taken in this regard by the Group, have been outlined in the ‘Statement on the Non-Financial Information of the Bank Pekao S.A. Capital Group for the year 2024’. Furthermore, the definition of ESG risk within the Bank and comprehensive information on ESG risk management is provided in the ‘Disclosures on capital adequacy of the Bank Pekao S.A. Capital Group as at 31 December 2024’.
Managing ESG risk, including climate risk, within the risk management system
ESG risk is considered a cross-cutting risk impacting various major risk types, such as credit, market, and operational risks. ESG risk has been recognized as significant in the Bank and Group's operations, and general principles governing its management are derived from the document ‘Risk management strategy and principles for internal capital estimation’. A strategic limit for ESG risk has been established at the Group and Bank levels, specifying the minimum commitment to internally defined green exposures above 3.2% of the financial portfolio. Additionally, in alignment with the Bank's ESG Strategy, the level of high-emission financing in the Bank's financial portfolio is monitored, reaching 0.691% by the end of 2024, which is below the target set in the ESG Strategy at a maximum level of 1.0%. Economic capital for ESG risk is indirectly considered within the economic capital for major risk types (i.e., credit, market, operational). The Group acknowledges that climate risk will be a significant factor for certain industries, prompting actions to identify relevant data and establish comprehensive risk management for physical and transition risks.
In the realm of risk management, the Group undertakes tasks to ensure compliance with the following external regulations:
1. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2453 of 30 November, 2022, amending the implementing technical standards laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/637 as regards the disclosure of information of environmental, social, and corporate governance risks under Article 449a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013, on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms, amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012,
2. Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020, on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, along with delegated regulations.
Climate risk in credit assessment
The assessment of ESG risk, including climate risk, constitutes an integral component of the credit transactions evaluation with economic entities. Alongside the assessment of creditworthiness and credit risk strictly speaking, the Group meticulously evaluates transaction-specific risks, including legal, reputational, political, ESG, including climate and environmental risks, money laundering and terrorist financing risks, and conflicts of interest risks.
The ESG risk analysis aims to:
Avoid financing activities listed in the Environmental and Social Exclusion List,
Identify the type of ESG risk pertinent to a client's activity and the transaction financed by the Bank,
Evaluate the client's ability to undertake actions to mitigate existing ESG risks,
Assess potential exposure of the Bank to risks and obligations arising from ESG issues.
ESG factors (mainly climate) can potentially affect the valuation of balance sheet items in terms of:
1. Instruments measured at fair value.
2. Impairment allowances on credit exposures.
The Bank does not identify a material, direct impact of ESG factors on instruments measured at fair value. Nevertheless, they may indirectly affect the parameters and market prices used to determine fair value. According to the Bank's opinion, however, this impact is currently very limited. As for impairment allowances, ESG factors are recognized indirectly. First of all, ESG risk assessment is one of the integral elements of the assessment and monitoring of credit transactions concluded with business entities. The occurrence of significant ESG factors for a given client or exposure therefore affects the monitoring results, and through them potentially their classification in the allowances’ calculation process. Secondly, ESG factors are recognized in collateral valuation, indirectly affecting the recoverable amount, and thus impairment allowances and measurement on the balance sheet.
Responsibility for ESG risk management
The ESG Board, established by the Bank's Management Resolution in 2020, supports the Bank's Management in decision process on ESG matters and engagement in projects related to social responsibility and sustainable development. Since 2023, a new organizational structure for managing the ESG area has been operating in the Bank, consolidating most competencies in a dedicated unit within the Risk Management Division. Additionally, in the Bank operates the Sustainable Finance Committee, ensuring financial compliance with qualification criteria defined in the Sustainable Finance Framework for green eurobond issuances under the Medium-Term Euro Note (EMTN) issuance program.

45.8. Capital management
The Group has put in place a formalized process of capital management and monitoring. The Finance Division under the Chief Financial Officer is responsible for functioning of the capital management process. The ultimate responsibility for capital management is allocated to the Management Board of the Bank, supported by the Assets, Liabilities and Risk Management Committee, which approves the capital management process. The Supervisory Board supervises the capital management system, in particular approves the capital management strategy. The Capital Management Policy described the roles, processes and methodology used in the capial management in of the management and monitoring of the Group’s capital adequacy, such as the guidelines concerning risk coverage sources, preferred structure of capital for risk coverage, long-term capital targets, capital limits system and sources of additional capital under contingency situations.
The Group has also implemented, as part of the capital management policy, the capital contingency plans which establish rules and obligations in the event of crisis appearance or further development that would significantly reduce capitalization level of the Bank or Group. The policy defines the principles of supervision including split of responsibilities for the purpose of early and consistent management in case of crisis situation development.
The capital adequacy of the Group is controlled by the Assets, Liabilities and Risk Management Committee and Management Board of Bank. Periodic reports on the scale and direction of changes of the capital ratios together with indication of potential threats are prepared for the Supervisory Board, Management Board and for the Assets, Liabilities and Risk Management Committee. The level of basic types of risks is monitored according to the external limits of the banking supervision and the internal limits of the Group. Analyses and evaluations of directions of business activities development are performed assessing the compliance with capital requirements. Forecasting and monitoring of risk weighted assets, own funds and capital ratios constitute an integral part of the planning and budgeting process, including stress tests.
The Group also has a capital allocation process in place, with an aim of guaranteeing the shareholders a safe and effective return on invested capital. On one hand, the process requires capital allocations to products/clients/business lines, which guarantee profits adequate to the risks taken, while on the other hand taking into consideration the cost of capital associated with the business decisions taken. Risk-related efficiency ratios are used in the analyses of income generated compared against the risk taken as well as for the optimization of capital usage for different types of operations.
The capital management process applied by the Group has been adopted for the following purposes:
ensuring the safe and secure functioning by maintaining the balance between the capacity to undertake risk (limited by own funds), and the risk levels generated,
maintenance of capital for covering risk above the minimum stated levels in order to assure further business operations, taking into consideration the possible, future changes in capital requirements and to safeguard the interests of shareholders,
maintenance of the optimal capital structure in order to maintain the desired quality of risk coverage capital,
creation of value to shareholders by the best possible utilization of the Group funds.
Regulatory capital requirements and own funds
Calculations of the regulatory capital requirements were performed based on Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) No 575/2013 of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, together with further amendments, as well as Commission Implementing Regulations or Delegated Regulations (EU) (Regulation 575/2013).
The Group defines components of own funds in line with the binding law, particularly with Regulation 575/2013 and The Banking Act of 29 August 1997 with further amendments.
According to law, Group is required to maintain minimal values of capital ratios resulting from Pillar 1 level (Regulation 575/2013), capital requirement of Pillar 2 resulting from The Banking Act and combined buffer requirement resulting from Act on macro-prudential supervision.
Minimal value of capital ratios on Pillar 1 level are:
Total capital ratio (TCR) in amount of 8%,
Tier 1 capital ratio (T1) in amount of 6%,
Common Equity Tier I capital ratio (CET 1) in amount of 4.5%.
On Pillar II, Pekao Group has no additional capital requirement (P2R).
Bank Pekao S.A .

In total, Group is required to maintain:
Total capital ratio (TCR) in amount of 11.53%,
Capital ratio Tier 1 (T1) in amount of 9.53%,
Common Equity Tier (CET 1) in amount of 8.03%.
As at 31 December 2024 and as at 31 December 2023 capital ratios were above the required levels . As at 31 December 2024 total capital ratio of the Group amounted at 16.1% (as of 31 December 2023 -16.8%).

Internal capital adequacy assessment
Pursuant to the regulatory requirements, the Group applies ICAAP process (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process). The objective of ICAAP is to ensure a sufficient level of capital to cover all material risks occurring in the Group’s business activity.
The Group takes the following risks into consideration:
credit risk,
operational risk,
market risk,
liquidity risk,
excessive leverage risk,
business risk (including the risk of macroeconomic condition changes and strategic risk),
compliance risk,
reputational risk,
model risk,
bancassurance risk,
ESG risk (Environmental, Social and Governance) risk arising from environmental, social and corporate governance factors.
For each risk deemed material, the Group develops and applies adequate economic capital measurement or assessment methods for the risk evaluation. The Group applies the following methods:
qualitative assessment applied in case of risks which are difficult to measure (compliance, reputational and bancassurance risks) with potencial capital coverage in other risks areas,
assessment by estimation of capital buffer, for risks that are not easily quantifiable however some aggregate assessment of their impact is possible (model risk and business risk) ,
quantitative assessment applied for risks which can be measured with the use of economic capital (other risk types apart from liquidity risk and excessive leverage risk) or based on other risk-specific measures (liquidity risk and excessive leverage risk).
Bank Pekao S.A .
162
Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Preferred methods of measuring risks and determining the resulting capital requirements are Value at Risk models, based on assumptions derived from the Group’s risk appetite. The models are developed in compliance with the best market practices and regulatory requirements and supplemented with stress tests and/or scenario analyses. In the case of risk types for which such methodologies have not been finally developed or implemented, the Group uses regulatory models supplemented with stress tests or simplified measurement methods.
Model risk and business risk (including the risk of changes in macroeconomic conditions and strategic risk) are covered by a capital buffer.
Economic capital for ESG risk is estimated as part of the quantification of credit, operational and market risks, depending on and adequately to the identified ESG risk factors in individual as well as depending on the availability of data on these risk factors.
Risks that are difficult to measure (compliance risk, reputational risk and bancassurance risk) are covered by capital estimated for operational risk and secured by an appropriate management and monitoring of the factors that impact these risks.
Liquidity risk is not covered by capital as, in the Bank’s opinion, capital is not a proper tool for securing this risk. To the extent that this risk can impact the result or own funds (the risk of cost of funding) it is taken into account in the process of estimating economic capital for business risk.
The risk of excessive leverage is not covered by capital either. This risk is mitigated by proper, balanced management of assets and liabilities as part of the process of market and liquidity risk management as well as capital adequacy management .
The procedure of estimating capital needs starts with the calculation of economic capital, separately for each material quantifiable risk identified by the Group. Next, economic capital figures for individual risks are aggregated. Then, the amount is increased by the capital buffer for model and business risks. The sum of economic capital and the capital buffer constitutes the internal capital of the Group.
45.9. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group
The measurement of fair value of financial instruments, for which market values from active markets are available, is based on market quotations of a given instrument (mark-to-market).
The measurement of fair value of Over-the-counter (‘OTC’) derivatives, instruments with limited liquidity (i.e. for which no market quotations are available), as well as the valuation of credits and loans, is made on the basis of other instruments quotations on active markets by replication thereof using a number of valuation techniques, including the estimation of present value of future cash flows(mark-to-model).
As of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, the Group classified the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into the following hierarchy of three categories based on the following hierarchy:
Level 1: mark-to-market, applies to securities quoted on active markets,
Level 2: mark-to-model valuation with model parameterization, based on quotations from active markets for given type of instrument, applies to illiquid government, municipal, corporate and central bank debt securities, linear and non-linear derivative instruments of interest rate markets (including forward transactions on debt securities), equity, commodity and foreign currency exchange markets, except for those cases that meet the criteria of Level 3,
Level 3: mark-to-model valuation with partial model parameterization, based on estimated risk factors, applicable to loans and advances, corporate and municipal debt securities and for linear and non-linear derivative instruments of interest rate, equity, commodity and foreign currency exchange markets for which unobservable parameters (e.g. credit risk factors) are recognized as significant.
The measurement at fair value is performed directly by an organizational units within Risk Management Division and Finance Division, independent of front-office units . The methodology of fair value measurement, including the changes of its parameterization, is subject to approval of Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). The adequacy of measurement methods is subject to on-going analysis and periodical reviews in the framework of model risk management. The same Risk Management Division unit performs the assessment of adequacy and significance of risk factors and assignment of valuation models to appropriate method class, according to established hierarchy of classification.

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Bank Pekao S.A.
Transfers of instruments between fair value hierarchy levels are based on changes in availability of active market quotations at the end of the reporting periods.
In the period from 1 January to 31 December 2024 the following transfers of financial instruments between the levels of the fair value hierarchy were made:
from Level 3 to Level 2: corporate and municipal bonds which were valued based on information on the prices of comparable financial instruments, corporate, municipal and treasury bonds and foreign exchange derivative instruments with immaterial impact of the estimated credit parameters on the valuation,
from Level 2 to Level 3: corporate and municipal bonds and foreign exchange and commodity derivative instruments for which impact of estimated credit parameters was material.
Sensitivity analysis
The impact of estimated parameters on measurement of financial instruments for which the Bank applies fair value valuation according to Level 3 as at 31 December 2024 is as follows:

Consolidated Financial Statements of Bank Pekao S.A. Group for the year ended on 31 December 2024 (in PLN million )
Bank Pekao S.A.
The impact of estimated parameters on measurement of financial instruments for which the Group applies fair value valuation according to Level 3 as at 31 December 2023 is as follows:
As part of the measurement preparation, the Group reviews unobserved risk factors affecting fair value. The Group assumes that the dynamics of observable and unobservable risk factors should be characterized by a similar direction and scale of changes. The recalibration of unobservable factors aims to make the dynamics of the fair value of instruments classified to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy consistent with the dynamics of market prices.
Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group
The Group also holds financial instruments which are not presented at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
As of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, the Group classified the financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position into the following three categories based on the valuation level :
Level 1: mark-to-market, applies to government securities quoted on the liquid market and cash,
Level 2: mark-to-model valuation with model parameterization, based on quotations from active markets for given type of instrument, applies to interbank deposits, own issues, illiquid government, municipal, corporate and central bank debt securities,
Level 3: mark-to-model valuation with partial model parameterization, based on estimated risk factors, is applicable to corporate and municipal debt securities and loans and deposits for which the applied credit risk factor (an unobservable parameter) is recognized significant.
In case of certain groups of financial assets, recognized at the amount to be received with impairment considered, the fair value was assumed to be equal to carrying amount. The above applies in particular to cash and other financial assets and liabilities.
For loans, quoted market values are not observable, as a result, the fair values presented are generally estimated using valuation techniques, under the assumption, that at the time the loan is granted, the fair value equals the carrying amount. Fair value of non-impaired loans is equal to the sum of future expected cash flows, discounted at the balance sheet date, less expected credit loss. The discount rate is defined as the appropriate market risk-free rate plus the liquidity risk margin and and a market spread determined on the basis of new sales for the loan product group.
The fair value of impaired loans is defined as equal to the sum of expected recoveries, discounted with the use of effective interest rate, since the average expected recovery values take the element of credit risk fully into consideration. In case of loans without repayment schedule (loans in current account, overdrafts and credit cards), the fair value was assumed as equal to the carrying amount.

Bank Pekao S.A.
Since no quoted market prices are available for deposits, their fair values have been generally estimated using valuation techniques with the assumption that the fair value of a deposit at the moment of its receipt is equal to its carrying amount. The fair value of term deposits is equal to the sum of future expected cash flows, discounted at the relevant balance sheet date. The cash flow discount rate is defined as the relevant market risk-free rate, increased by the sales margin. The margin is computed on deposits acquired during last three months broken down by deposit product groups and maturity. In case of short term deposits (current deposits, overnights, saving accounts), the fair value was assumed as equal to the carrying amount.
The fair value of deposits and loans, apart from mortgage loans denominated in PLN and CHF for which prepayment model is used, is calculated based on contractual cash flows.
The mark-to-model valuation of own issue debt instruments is based on the method of discounting the future cash flows. Variable cash flows are estimated based upon rates adopted for specific markets (depending upon issue specifications). Both the fixed and implied cash flows are discounted using interbank money market rates.
The fair value of Other assets and Other liabilities approximates their carrying amounts.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the financial statement in breakdown by fair value hierarchy levels.

The above disclosure was not the subject of work related to the audit of the financial statements by the auditing firm.
47. Subsequent events
From 1 January 2025 the Group applies Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2024 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards requirements on credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, operational risk, market risk and a minimum capital threshold (hereinafter referred to as ‘CRR3’).
CRR3 introduces a number of significant modifications to the methods of calculating and reporting capital requirements, and these changes cover most of the areas taken into account in capital adequacy (including credit risk and counterparty credit risk, market risk, operational risk, CVA, prudential consolidation), also affecting the area of large exposures/concentration limits.
CRR3 has impact the Group’s capital adequacy mainly due to the need to include in the calculation of risk-weighted assets contracts that have been offered by the Group but have not yet been accepted by the client, changes in the scope of exposures secured by real estate and the introduction of the so-called new standardized approach (SMA) in the scope of operational risk.
The table below presents the impact of the application of CRR3 on the Group's capital adequacy:
