It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws in respect of the proposed transaction, since the companies are located in Spain and some or all of their officers and directors are residents of Spain. You may not be able to sue the companies or their officers or directors in a Spanish court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Finally, it may be difficult to compel the companies and their affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

Report on limited review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

To the shareholders of CaixaBank, S.A., at the request of the Board of Directors:

 

Introduction

 

We have performed a limited review of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, the interim financial statements) of CaixaBank, S.A. (hereinafter, “the parent company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, “the group”), which comprise the balance sheet as at June 30, 2020, and the income statement, the statement of recognized income and expenses, the total statement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and related notes, all condensed and consolidated, for the six months period then ended. The parent company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of these interim financial statements in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the European Union, for the preparation of condensed interim financial information, as provided in Article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our limited review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our limited review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A limited review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our limited review, that cannot be considered as an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2020 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the European Union, for the preparation of condensed interim financial statements, as provided in Article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

We draw attention to note 1.3 “Responsibility for information and estimates made”, which sets out the judgements, estimates and assumptions made in preparing the interim financial statements and which indicates that they were made taking into account the uncertainties at the reporting date resulting from the impact of COVID-19 in the current economic situation. These judgements and estimates could be modified in the future, based on new information, as a result of future events deriving from the impacts of COVID 19 which are not presently known. Specifically, note 3.2 “Credit risk” describes the financing transactions arranged in the current context, the treatment of the significant increase in credit risk (ISCR) associated with them and its impact on the classification in stages and, additionally, the approach to the estimation of expected credit losses which includes establishing a provision of approximately €1.155 million due to the impact of updating the macro-economic scenarios and their weighting, all of which has been carried out taking into consideration the communications of the oversight and regulatory bodies,

as indicated in section 2.1 “Accounting policies within the framework of COVID - 19”. Our conclusion has not been modified for this matter.

 

In addition, we draw attention to Note 1, in which it is mentioned that these interim financial statements do not include all the information required of complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, therefore the accompanying interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated annual accounts of the group for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Other Matters

 

Interim consolidated directors’ Report

 

The accompanying interim consolidated directors’ Report for the six months period ended June 30, 2020 contains the explanations which the parent company’s directors consider appropriate regarding the principal events of this period and their impact on the interim financial statements presented, of which it does not form part, as well as the information required under the provisions of Article 15 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. We have verified that the accounting information contained in this directors’ Report is in agreement with that of the interim financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2020. Our work is limited to checking the interim consolidated directors’ Report in accordance with the scope mentioned in this paragraph and does not include a review of information other than that obtained from CaixaBank, S.A. and its subsidiaries’ accounting records.

 

Preparation of this review report

 

This report has been prepared at the request of the Board of Directors of the parent company in relation to the publication of the half-yearly financial report required by Article 119 of Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015 of 23 October, approving the revised text of the Securities Market Law developed by the Royal Decree 1362/2007, of 19 October.

1. Nature of the institution

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

1. Corporate information, basis of presentation and other information

 

 

CaixaBank, SA (“CaixaBank” or the “Entity”) and its subsidiaries comprise the CaixaBank Group ("CaixaBank Group" or the "Group”). CaixaBank, with tax identification number (NIF) A08663619 and registered office and tax address in Valencia, calle Pintor Sorolla, 2-4, is a listed company as of 1 July of 2011 and registered in the Bank of Spain Register of Credit Institutions.

 

CaixaBank is the parent company of the financial conglomerate formed by the group's entities that are considered to be regulated, recognised as a significant supervised entity, whereby CaixaBank comprises, together with the credit institutions of its Group, a significant supervised group of which CaixaBank is the entity at the highest level of prudential consolidation.

 

The corporate purpose of CaixaBank primarily consists in:

 

  n all manner of activities, operations, acts, contracts and services related to the banking sector in general, including the provision of investment services and ancillary services and the performance of the activities of an insurance agency;
  n receiving public funds in the form of irregular deposits or in other similar formats, for the purposes of application on its own account to active credit and microcredit operations, and other investments, providing customers with services including dispatch, transfer, custody, mediation and others; and
  n acquisition, holding, enjoyment and disposal of all manner of securities and drawing up takeover bids and sales of securities, and of all manner of ownership interests in any entity or company.

As a listed bank, it is subject to oversight by the European Central Bank and the Spanish national securities market regulator (the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, CNMV), however, the entities of the Group are subject to oversight by supplementary and industry-based bodies.

 

 

On 20 February 2020, CaixaBank’s Board of Directors authorised for issue the Group's 2019 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting regulatory framework applicable to the Group, namely the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter “IFRS-EU”).

 

In its session of 26 March 2020, the Board of Directors agreed to nullify the amount of the dividend indicated in the 2019 income distribution proposal included on that year's annual accounts, and drew up a new income distribution proposal (see Note 1.6).

 

The 2019 financial statements, as well as the proposal for distributing the income from 2019 in its new terms, were approved by the Annual General Meeting of 22 May 2020.

 

In the preparation of the 2019 consolidated financial statements, the consolidation principles, accounting policies and measurement bases described in Note 2 therein were applied to give a true and fair view of the equity and financial position of the Group at 31 December 2019 and of the results of its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the cash flows in the year then ended.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group corresponding to the first half of the year, attached herein, have been drawn up following the same principles, accounting policies and criteria as those applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for 2019, particularly IAS 34 ('Interim financial reporting'), except for the regulatory changes that came into force on 1 January 2020, which are specified in the section 'Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), in force from 2020'. In preparing these statements, Bank of Spain Circular 4/2017 of 27 November and subsequent amendments have been taken into account, which constitute the adaptation of the IFRS-EU to Spanish credit institutions. The aforementioned condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been drawn up by the CaixaBank Board of Directors in its meeting held on 30 July 2020.

 

In accordance with IAS 34, the interim notes primarily include an explanation of the events and changes that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance since the end of the last annual reporting period. Accordingly, the notes focus on new activities, events and circumstances in the stated period, and do not duplicate information previously

reported. Therefore, for an appropriate understanding of the information contained in the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2019 consolidated financial statements.

 

The figures are presented in millions of euros unless another monetary unit is stated. Certain financial information in these notes was rounded off and, consequently, the figures shown herein as totals may differ slightly from the arithmetic sum of the individual figures given before them. Similarly, in deciding what information to disclose in this report, its materiality was assessed in relation to the annual financial data.

 

Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) that became effective in 2020

 

On 1 January 2020, the following accounting standards came into force:

 

 
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS TITLE
Amendment to IFRS 3 * Definition of a business
Amendment to IAS 39, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 * Interest rate benchmark reform
Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 * Definition of materiality
Amendment to Conceptual Framework  * Amendment to the Conceptual Framework of the IFRS
(*) They have not had a significant effect on the Group.
  n Amendment to IAS 39, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In the context of the global interest rate benchmark reform (IBORs), the IASB launched a project to review of the main IFRS standards affected, split into two phases. The first phase focused on the accounting impacts before the replacement of the interest rate benchmarks, and finished with the publication in September 2019 of the Amendments to IAS 39, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, which were approved at European level on 17 January 2020. It came into effect on 1 January 2020.

 

These amendments provide exceptions so entities do not have to abandon their hedging ratios in an environment of uncertainty regarding the long-term feasibility of some interest rate benchmarks. These exceptions are based, inter alia, on the ability to assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged risk or the cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument is based is not altered as a consequence of the reform.

 

The Group decided to early adopt the amendments of phase one at the close of 2019, although due to the fact that the majority of its hedging ratios are based on the Euribor index and that the latter has not been subject to replacement – only its calculation methodology was changed – it has not had an impact through the global reform itself, and the broken down information considered in the amendments to phase one do not apply.

 

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet effective

 

At the date of authorisation for issue of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the main standards issued by the IASB but not yet effective, either because their effective date is subsequent to the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements or because they had not yet been endorsed by the European Union, are as follows:

 

STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS TITLE MANDATORY APPLICATION FOR ANNUAL PERIODS BEGINNING ON OR AFTER:
NOT APPROVED FOR USE  
Modification of IFRS 16 (*) Rental concessions related to COVID-19 1 June 2020
Amendment to IFRS 4 Scope of the temporary exemption for applying IFRS 9 1 January 2023
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts 1 January 2023
(*) No impact on the Group
 
 
 

1. Nature of the institution

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 
  n Modification of IFRS 16

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many landlords have provided rental reductions to their tenants. These rental reductions are particularly important for tenancies in retail real estate, and, in some cases, are encouraged or required by governments or court authorities. Rental reductions include rental 'holidays' or deductions for a period of time, potentially followed by an increase in the rental payments in future periods.

 

The IASB has reported that it may be practically difficult to apply the requirements of IFRS 16 to a potentially high volume of rental reductions related to COVID-19, particularly in light of the many challenges faced by those affected. Specifically, tenants have identified difficulties in the current environment in assessing whether rental reductions related to COVID-19 are modifications to their lease, for which the accounting processes required by the Standard is applicable.

 

In this context, as a practical solution, a modification of IFRS 16 has been approved to allow tenants to not have to evaluate whether specific rental reductions related to COVID-19 are modifications to their lease. Instead, tenants who apply this practical solution will account for said rental reductions as if they are not rental modifications. The modification of the Standard, which does not entail any changes to landlords, is not approved at the European level, although its effective date is 1 June 2020.

 

The Group has not identified any contracts that may form within the scope of this modification, and thus it does not anticipate applying the aforementioned solution. Neither will there be an impact on assets nor on the presentation of financial statements derived therefrom when it is eventually endorsed for application across the European Union.

 

  n IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”

On 25 June 2020, the IASB issued a series of amendments to IFRS 17, with a view to help entities to implement the Standard and facilitate the explanation of their financial performance to users of their financial information. The main principles on which the original Standard is based, first issued in May 2017, are not affected. The newly published amendments are basically designed to: i) reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, ii) make financial performance easier to explain, and iii) facilitate the transition by postponing the validity date of the Standard until 2023, whilst giving additional aids to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS 17 for the first time.

 

The Group continues to work intensively to implement this standard, in accordance with the plan approved in 2018, which was subject to an update in 2019; in particular, the work is currently focused on developing the actuarial engine and testing the first partial results. Complete preliminary results are expected at the end of 2020.

 

Relevant changes to the project plan are not expected in 2020, despite the fact that the IASB has delayed the first application of IFRS 17 to 1 January 2023. Nevertheless, it is important to point out that the effects that the crisis resulting from COVID-19 will have on the project plan in the short term, during 2020, will be monitored closely.

 

 

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements required the Board of Directors have made certain judgments, estimates and assumptions in order to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and obligations shown therein. These judgments and estimates mainly refer to:

 

  n The fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities (Note 24).
  n Impairment losses on financial assets, and of the fair value of guarantees associated thereto, according to their classification in accounts, which entail the need to make judgments regarding: i) the consideration of “significant increase in credit risk” (SICR); ii) the definition of default; and iii) the inclusion of forward-looking information (Notes 3 and 8).
  n The measurement of investments in joint ventures and associates (Note 11).
  n Determination of the share of profit/(loss) of investments in associate companies (Note 11).
  n Actuarial assumptions used to measure liabilities arising from insurance contracts (Note 9).
  n The useful life of and impairment losses on tangible assets, including right-of-use assets, and intangible assets (Notes 12 and 13).
  n The measurement of goodwill and intangible assets (Note 13).
 
 
 

1. Nature of the institution

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 
  n Impairment losses on non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale (Note 15).
  n Actuarial assumptions used to measure post-employment liabilities and commitments (Note 17).
  n The measurement of the provisions required to cover labour, legal and tax contingencies (Note 17).
  n The income tax expense based on the income tax rate expected for the full year and the capitalisation and recoverability of tax assets (Note 19).
  n The term of the lease agreements and the discount rate used in the measurement of the lease liabilities.

These estimates have been carried out according to the best available information on the date that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared, considering the uncertainty at the time derived from the impact of COVID-19 in the current economic environment. However, it is possible that future events require them to be modified in upcoming financial years, which, in line with applicable regulations, would take place prospectively, recognising the effects of the estimation change in the corresponding statement of profit or loss.

 

 

The figures corresponding to 31 December 2019, as well as the six-month period ending on 30 June 2019 included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, are presented solely and exclusively for comparison purposes.

 

Amendment to the accounting treatment linked to defined benefit commitments - Treatment of the assets held by the employee Pension Fund

 

In order to improve the true image of the financial statements, at 31 December 2019 the Group voluntarily decided to change its accounting policy with regard to the treatment of assets held by the employee Pension Fund, thus deeming them eligible plan assets, and as a result the rights of the same on the underwritten policies are considered, as covered in the 2019 financial statements. For this reason, the statement of recognised income and expenditure and the statement of changes in net equity on 30 June 2019 have been restated. The balances restated on 30 June 2019 are presented below:

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 
 

The nature of the most significant operations carried out by the Group do not have a relevant cyclical or seasonal nature within a single financial year.

 

 

In order to accommodate the position of the Group to the environment arising from the expansion of COVID-19 and to the measures rolled out by the authorities to slow the spread (see Note 3.1), in its sessions of 26 March and 16 April 2020, the Board of Directors agreed the following:

 

  n To cancel the Ordinary Annual General Meeting, which was announced on 25 February 2020, and which was scheduled for 2 and 3 April 2020 at first and second call, respectively, and reschedule it for 21 and 22 May 2020 at first and second call, respectively.
  n To revoke the proposal to apply the profit agreed by the Board of Directors on 20 February 2020, which was included as point four of the agenda of the Annual General Meeting, published on the website of the Spanish national securities market regulator (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, CNMV) on 25 February 2020.
  n To reduce the proposed cash dividend for 2019 to EUR 0.07 per share from EUR 0.15 per share, in an exercise of prudence and social responsibility; resulting in a payout of 24.6%. The dividend was paid on 15 April 2020 as a single interim dividend for 2019 (see Note 5).

The new agreed proposal for the distribution of the profits of 2019, which includes the corresponding declaration from the Group's accounts auditor, pursuant to the provisions of Article 40.6 bis of Royal Decree-Law 8/2020, of 17 March, on the extraordinary urgent measures to address the economic and social impact of COVID-19, is as follows:

 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROFITS OF CAIXABANK, S.A. PROPOSED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ITS SESSION OF 16 APRIL 2020
(Millions of euros)  
     
    2019
Basis of appropriation  
Profit/(loss) for the year 2,074
Appropriation:  
To dividends (1) 418
To reserves 1,656
  To legal reserve (2) 0
  To voluntary reserve (3) 1,656
NET PROFIT FOR THE YEAR 2,074
(1) Amount corresponding to the payment of the dividend of EUR 0.07 per share in cash on 15 April 2020. Treasury stock on the date of the payment of the dividend have been excluded given that, pursuant to the requirements of the Corporate Enterprises Act, dividends cannot be paid to treasury stock.
(2) It is not necessary to transfer part of the 2019 profit to the legal reserve, as this reserve has reached 20% of the share capital (art. 274 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act).
(3) Estimated amount allocated to the voluntary reserve. This amount will increase by the same amount as the amount earmarked for payment of the final dividend decreases (see Note 1 above). Remuneration of AT1 capital instruments corresponding to 2019 issued by CaixaBank, totalling EUR 133 million, will be deemed to have been paid, with this amount charged to voluntary reserves.
  n After considering the new regulatory and supervisory aspects, among others, the impact of the standards laid down in the Capital Requirements Directive V (CRD V) with regard to the composition of the Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R); reduce to 11.5% the objective of the CET1 capital adequacy ratio laid down in the 2019-2021 Strategic Plan for December 2021, revoking the objective of a 12% CET1 ratio plus a buffer of 1% that was set aside to absorb impacts of the implementation of Basel developments (Basel IV) and other regulatory impacts, the implementation of which is now expected to be delayed.

n

 

As regards the dividend policy in force comprising the distribution of a cash dividend above 50% of the consolidated net profit, to exclusively modify it for 2020, to distribute a cash dividend of no more than 30% of the reported consolidated net profit. The Board of Directors stated its intention to allocate more than 50% of consolidated net profit to the cash remuneration for future financial years, once the circumstances that have brought about this amendment have come to an end.
  n It has announced future plans to distribute any capital that exceeds the CET1 capital adequacy ratio of 12% as a final dividend and/or buy-back shares. This extraordinary payout of excess capital will be conditional on the macroeconomic situation in which the Group operates returning to normal and will not take place in any event before 2021.

In no case will the remuneration of preference shares eventually convertible into outstanding shares (Additional Tier 1) be affected by prior agreements, and it will continue to be paid in accordance with the regulatory and supervisory framework in force.

 

After these decisions, the regulatory capital adequacy ratios at 31 December 2019 are as follows:

 

CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIOS - 31-12-2019
(Percentage)    
  RATIOS REPORTED RATIOS AFTER REDUCTION OF THE DIVIDEND
CET1 12.00% 12.40%
Tier 1 13.50% 13.90%

Subordinated MREL 19.60% 19.90%
Total MREL 21.80% 22.20%
Pro-forma total MREL * 22.50% 22.80%
MDA distance 325 bp 378 bp
(*) Pro-forma issuance of EUR 1,000 million in senior preferred debt in January 2020 (see Note 16).

Following a principal of prudence in the variable remuneration, and as an act of joint responsibility between CaixaBank's Senior Management and the Institution in view of the economic impact expected from the exceptional economic and social situation created by COVID-19, the Chief Executive Officer and members of the Management Committee have decided to waive their variable remuneration for 2020; both their yearly Bonus and their participation in the second cycle of the 2020 Long-Term Incentives Plan (see Note 7). In addition, it has been agreed not to propose the granting of shares in this second cycle of the Long-Term Incentives Plan for the other 78 managers included therein.

 

 

Between 30 June 2020 and the date on which these condensed interim consolidated financial statements were drawn up, there were no additional events not described in the other explanatory notes that significantly affect the financial statements.

 

 
 
 

2. Accounting principles and policies and valuation criteria applied

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

2. Accounting policies and measurement bases

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared using the same accounting principles, policies and criteria as those used in the 2019 consolidated financial statements.

 

All accounting principles and measurement bases that could have a significant effect were applied in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

For all the areas not stated in these interim financial statements, the definitions, criteria and policies described in Note 2 of the report of the 2019 consolidated financial statements continue to be applied.

 

 

In the current context of the crisis caused by the spread of COVID-19 (see Note 3.1) various supervisory and regulatory bodies, including the European Central Bank, the authorities ESMA and EBA, and the IASB, have issued their own statements and guidelines in order to achieve a consistent application of the requirements considered in the IFRS regulatory accounting framework, in particular as regards IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.

 

The IFRS 9 is a standard that sets forth the principles to determine the amount of expected credit loss (ECL) that must be recognised in each accounting closure. When there is a material increase in credit risk, it sets forth the recognition of estimated ECL taking into consideration the duration the whole contract. Nonetheless, IFRS 9 does not set out specific rules or thresholds that enable a mechanical approach as regards when to recognise these ECL. Nor does it specify how to determine the forward-looking scenarios that are necessary to make the estimate.

 

The foregoing makes it necessary to apply professional judgment and means that it is possible to adjust the ECL estimate approach according to the circumstances. In this context, Note 3 describes the application of the most relevant principles at the close of 30 June 2020, which have been established considering the aforementioned announcements and guides.

 

 

Beyond the context of COVID-19, it is worth highlighting that, as a result of the implementation of the EBA's new definition of default for purposes of capital (EBA/GL/2016/07), as of 1 January 2020, the Group has updated and aligned the criteria to identify – on an accounting level – the refinanced operations that must be classified as non-performing, according to the particular characteristics of the operation, when they meet the general criteria for classifying debt securities as such, and specifically i) operations backed by an unsuitable business plan, ii) operations that include contractual clauses that delay repayments in the form of interest-only periods longer than 24 months, and iii) operations that include amounts that have been removed from the balance sheet having been classified as unrecoverable that exceed the hedging applicable according to the percentages established for operations in the watch-list performing category, and iv) when pertinent restructuring or refinancing measures may result in a reduction of the financial obligation higher than 1% of the net present value of the expected cash flows. Additionally, adjustments have been made to the criteria for exit from default, thus, refinanced operations cannot be migrated to stage 2 until their repayment has been ongoing for 12 months.

 

 
 
 

3. Risk Management

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

3. Risk management

 

The risk management framework is described in Note 3 to the Group's 2019 consolidated financial statements, which includes strategic processes for risk management, governance and organisation, and the existence of a risk control culture, as well as the internal control framework established by the Institution. The most relevant aspects of risk management in the first half of 2020 are detailed below:

 

 
  n Economic context

Scenarios subject to an extreme degree of uncertainty.

 

The scenarios that follow have been built in an unusual situation of high uncertainty, arising from the many unknown epidemiological and health aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the variety of economic policy responses that can be implemented in the different countries in dealing with this shock.

 

  u Global and eurozone economy
  © COVID-19 and the necessary restrictions on activity to contain it have submerged the world into an unusually abrupt recession. Besides the halt in activity in the economies most affected by the pandemic, where the available data shows the major impact of lockdown measures (Chinese GDP fell by 10% quarter on quarter in Q1, whilst it is estimated that activity in the eurozone fell by around 25% in the last weeks of March, when the lockdown became widespread), all economies are exposed to the shock of COVID-19 due to the drop in global demand, disruptions of international supply chains and the tightening of the financial environment.
  © Throughout the second quarter, whilst the economic reactivation in China was gaining traction (and activity may have already normalised in sectors such as industry), in the main advanced economies activity fell sharply in April, but since May, the progressive lifting of restrictions has brought about a gradual recovery of the indicators. Overall, unprecedented falls in GDP are expected in the advanced economies for the whole of the second quarter.
  © Moving forward, activities should begin to gradually re-establish themselves over the coming months although, without a vaccine or effective treatment, worldwide activity will continue to be conditioned by physical distancing measures. Subsequently, it is forecast that the global GDP in 2020 will register a fall greater than that of the Great Recession of 2009, but in 2021 the global economy will once again be back on a path of growth.
  © To tackle this situation, all spheres of economic policy are rapidly deploying a series of wide-ranging measures of extraordinary significance, and the monetary policy of the main central banks has been especially aggressive in order to ease the financial stress, protect the proper functioning of the markets and establish an environment of low interest rates for an extended period of time. However, the evolution of the pandemic and the medical advances will be the main determining factor of this scenario in the coming quarters.
  © In the eurozone, the available indicators suggest that the fall in activity for the whole of the second quarter of the year will have been around 20%. That said, although it is forecast that activity will continue to gradually recover over the coming months, it is estimated that the fall in GDP for 2020 could be around 10% (followed by a rebound of over 8% in 2021), although with significant differences between countries. Economies that have been affected by the pandemic to a lesser extent, those with an economic structure less sensitive to the restrictions on mobility and/or more able to take action with regard to fiscal policy, will better ride out this situation.
  © In this shock context with asymmetrical effects depending on the country, both the measures being carried out by the ECB and the Recovery Plan proposed by the European Commission constitute key actions to encourage synchronised re-activation among European economies. It should also be highlighted that the importance of the Recovery Plan exceeds the strict framework of supporting the EU's recovery from the recession given that it contains elements that, should they be confirmed, would imply a leap forward in terms of European construction. This is derived, for example, from the need to create new tax figures ('green' and digital) at EU level, or the fact that the plan entails a permanent increase in the expenditure capacity of the EU budget.
 
 
 

3. Risk Management

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 
  u Spain
  © The Spanish economy will follow a dynamic that is similar to the European economy, although the importance of sectors that are particularly sensitive to mobility restrictions will probably suffer somewhat more intense declines in activity (the tourism sector represents 12.3% of the GDP and, overall, sectors such as accommodation and food services, trade, leisure and transport represent around 25% of the GDP).
  © Therefore, we forecast that the contraction of GDP for the whole of 2020 will be around 13%-15%, the actual figure will depend on the ability to quickly control any new outbreaks and minimise their impact on economic activity. In this situation, it is expected that the recovery that began halfway through this year will gain traction in 2021, with a rebound of 10%-11%. The measures taken by the authorities, both in Spain and at EU level, which must be extended if necessary, and the expected recovery from the pandemic with a vaccine or effective treatment well into the coming year, will all contribute to this.
  © Although this is the most likely scenario, we cannot rule out a more favourable outcome if occupation rates during the tourist season exceed 50% and if improved confidence supports a stronger short-term rebound of consumption and investment.
  u Portugal
  © Portugal, which also has a significant dependence on tourism and foreign demand (the tourism sector exceeds 14% of the GDP, and total exports represent almost 45% of GDP), is faced with a scenario similar to Spain's. The available indicators suggest that the economic halt in April will be reflected in a sharp fall in GDP for the whole of Q2, despite the gradual recovery in May.
  © So, combined with the difficulties faced by tourism and the expectation that the recovery of activity will be gradual, it is forecast that there will be a fall in GDP in 2020 of around 12% followed by a rebound of around 8% in 2021.
  n The competitive and social context is decisive in the Group's strategy and development. In this regard, CaixaBank identifies “Strategic Events” as the most relevant adverse events that may result in a medium-term threat to the Group, and those to which it is exposed to due to causes that are external to its strategy, even if the severity of their impact can be curbed through management. During the first half of 2020, certain significant events took place in relation to Strategic Events:
  u Uncertainties in relation to the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment

The global expansion of COVID-19 has generated a healthcare crisis that is without precedent up to now. This event has a significant impact on economic activity and, as a consequence, could affect the Group's financial situation. The size of the impact will depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, including actions to contain the illness or try to treat it and curb its impact on the economies of the affected countries, and the social and economic support policies that are being implemented by the governments of the affected countries, among others.

 

  u Persistence of an environment of low interest rates

The aforementioned macroeconomic context, together with the ECB monetary policy, has compounded the probability of a slower interest rate recovery scenario. Given that, together with the increased cost of risk, there is a greater need to reinforce measures that guarantee business performance, maintaining the balance of performance-risk duality. The Group maintains a favourable position in this respect, given its diversification strategy. Its share in the business of insurance products and services brought in EUR 321 million in the first half of 2020 (see Note 21).

 

  u New competitors with the possibility to disrupt

CaixaBank has an ambitious strategy of digitisation and business transformation, in order to maintain a solid position in the face of the potential entry of new competitors. In line with the objectives set forth in the Group's 2019-2021 Strategic Plan, CaixaBank prioritises offering the best customer experience through any service channel, which is underpinned by the acceleration of digital transformation. This strategy has become especially relevant in the current context of COVID-19, in which CaixaBank has also joined the #I'mStayingAtHome campaign, and strengthened the digitalisation of its services in order for its customers to avoid unnecessary travel.

Within the framework of digitisation, it is also worth mentioning the transformation of imagin; the leading mobile-only bank in Spain among the young market. It has become a digital platform dedicated to creating digital services of both a financial and non-financial nature for young people. Its aim is to encourage our younger customers who are particularly interested in using new technologies in their daily lives and future projects.

 

  u Cybersecurity

The current situation has resulted in an increased use of alternative methods to avoid in-person banking, such as the Group's websites and applications. The aforementioned increase comes in addition to the new generalised remote-working environment and labour flexibility developed by the Group to guarantee its ongoing operations. In this context of remote communication, it is deemed pertinent to maximise the monitoring of fraud and cyberattacks. For this purpose, as well as strengthening preventive and defensive measures, CaixaBank has disseminated cybersecurity advice to its customers, both individuals and businesses, to prevent potential situations of risk.

 

  u Risks related to climate change

It is worth emphasising CaixaBank's inclusion on the A- list of leading companies fighting climate change by CDP, in the first half of 2020. CDP is an international non-profit organisation, which guides private companies and public administrations about taking measures towards a sustainable economy, by reducing their CO2 emissions and measuring the environmental impact of their actions.

 

  u Pressure from the legal, regulatory and supervisory environment

There were two very clearly distinguished stages in the first half of 2020. The first quarter saw relevant new legal aspects that will characterise the development of a potential dispute in terms of consumer mortgage financing tied to the IRPH index, pursuant to the ECJ Ruling of 3 March, or interest rates in deferred payment and revolving modalities, rooted in the Supreme Court Ruling of 4 March; and, despite a progressively reduced flow for at least the past three quarters, there was certain continuity of litigious activity in areas that have been most present in recent years. In turn, the second quarter was dominated by the interruption and abrupt suspension of judicial and administrative activity, followed by a progressive flow of judicial ruling notifications.

 

  n Regulatory and supervisory context

With respect to the developments of the regulatory and supervisory agenda of the first six months of the year, the set of measures to help financial institutions to provide a suitable response to the current COVID-19 scenario without being penalised by an excessively rigid regulatory context stands out.

 

The following easing measures are of particular interest:

 

  u Announcement by the GHOS (Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision) of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, on 27 March 2020, of its endorsement of a set of measures that include deferring the implementation of the final agreements of Basel III (also known as 'Basel IV'), reviewing the market risk framework and the dissemination requirements of Pillar 3, for 1 year, in order to help increase the operating capacity of banks and supervisors in the context of COVID-19.
  u The approval, on 18 June 2020, by the European Parliament, of the legislative proposal for 'quick fix' amendments to the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR 2.5). This includes the expectation of applying certain measures outlined in the CRR2 (consumption reduction factors in financing infrastructures and SMEs, as well as the modification of deductions using software), that pertaining to IFRS 9 (includes an extended transition period and modifications to the calculation) and other voluntary measures, such as the preferential treatment for the purposes of the calendar of NPL provisions (prudential backstop) to loans that have the guarantee of public credit institutions, the introduction of a temporary prudential filter that neutralises the negative impact of debt market volatility in central administrations during the pandemic, as well as the easing of requirements related to the leverage ratio, including deferring the application date.
  u Capital:

  © The ECB, with the support of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, empowers the use of the capital conservation and countercyclical buffer specifically designed to withstand periods of stress, allowing financial institutions to better absorb losses and support the granting of loans to homes and companies.
  © Similarly, the ECB anticipates the adoption of the implemented amendments in the first half of 2019 in the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) in relation to the Pillar 2 requirements (Pillar 2R), which are now 100% required in the form of CET1 capital and can be met by 56% of CET1, 19% of Additional Tier 1 capital (AT1) and 25% of Tier 2 capital.
  u Liquidity: the ECB allows banks to temporarily operate below the minimum liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) defined by the regulator in full. In a similar manner to capital measures, the BCBS supports the use of the liquidity buffers as well as stocks of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA).
  u Credit risk:
  © The ECB provides flexibility in the classification of non-performing loans (NPL) to those that are backed by public aid/guarantees, establishing preferential prudential treatment processing as regards the constitution of provisions. The supervisory dialogue with respect to NPL reduction strategies used by entities will remain flexible in the context of exceptional market conditions.
  © With the aim of avoiding the procyclical effects of the provisions models of the new IFSR9 standard, the ECB recommends that banks avoid using excessively procyclical assumptions in their estimate models, due to the pronounced volatility of the prospective scenarios.
  © The EBA has published a statement supporting measures adopted by EU bodies and clarifying its application in the prudential sphere, including identifying unpaid loans and refinanced exposures, as well as considerations regarding their accounting treatment (IFRS9). Similarly, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), has published a statement focusing on the accounting principles, including the moratorium of payments and the calculation of expected credit loss according to IFRS9.
  © The EBA has published Guidelines on treatment of public and private moratoria applied before 30 June to loan repayments (period subsequently extended to 30 September 2020). Its main aspects include the general criteria in order to apply a payment moratorium and the conditions under which moratoriums do not entail the direct classification as refinancing or forced restructuring.
  © Publication of Circular 3/2020, Appendix 9 (Circular 4/2017) of which now includes the flexibility confirmed by different authorities to avoid automation in the use of indicators and hypotheses that are not suitable in the context of COVID-19 or potential future scenarios. See the communication of 27 March by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board). For example, the Circular allows institutions to classify refinancing operations under this context in the 'normal' category if there has been no significant credit risk increase (maintaining their identification as refinanced operations).
  © In the national domain, approval and entry into force, among others, of Royal Decree-Laws (RDL) 6/2020, 8/2020 and 11/2020, on urgent extraordinary measures to address the economic and social impact of COVID-19: the first of these is noteworthy for its additional four-year extension to the suspension of evictions for vulnerable debtors, and the broadening of the 'vulnerable group' concept; the second sets forth extraordinary measures in order to allow a mortgage debt moratorium for primary home purchases for those suffering from difficulties meeting their payment, and the extension of public guarantees of the Spanish Official Credit Institute for affected companies and self-employed workers; and the third law is notable for its extension to the moratorium set forth in Royal Decree-Law 8/2020 both in terms of time, from one to three months, and sectors, e.g. including consumer credit.

RDL 25/2020 and RDL 26/2020 were also approved, adopting urgent measures to support economic and employment reactivation, with the former having a special focus on the tourism and automobile sector, and the latter concentrating on transport and housing. They contain specific economic measures, including a new lines of guarantees and specific moratoria.

 

  u Other:
  © The EBA has postponed the stress test until 2021, and will instead carry out an additional transparency exercise for the entire EU.

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 
  © Both the EBA and other sector regulators have extended some public consultation terms regarding new regulations, as well as certain non-urgent recurring reporting.
  © The ECB has deferred the periods for rectifying the aspects identified in certain exercises of supervision by six months, as well as the issuance of recommendations in certain cases.
  © Both the ECB (in the consultation period) and the EBA have established temporary new reporting requirements, both in terms of supervision and dissemination to third parties, in order to offer better transparency and control of the effects and measures used by financial institutions in the context of COVID-19.

Unrelated to COVID-19, we can highlight:

 

  u Publication, on 29 May 2020, of the final version of the EBA guidelines on loan origination and monitoring in the context of the Action Plan to reduce non-performing loans, of the European Council. Effective as of 30 June 2021, the guidelines establish the requirements in terms of internal governance for the origination and risk control of loans and advances throughout their life cycle. The objective is to ensure that institutions have solid and prudent standards for the undertaking, management and supervision of credit risk, aligned with standards on consumer protection and money laundering and terrorist financing prevention, resulting in high credit quality for recently originated loans.

CaixaBank, faithful to its commitment to maintain the best market standards and consumer protection, has invested particular efforts in analysing the implications of the guide from the start of the consultation process, to ensure a quick adaptation to its final version.

 

  u On 20 May 2020, the ECB began the consultation process for the draft of the Guide on climate and environmental risks, which establishes expectations in terms of the supervision of financial institutions, with respect to the cross-disciplinary risks of the commercial strategy, governance, appetite, management and control of risks, as well as their dissemination.

CaixaBank plays an active role both internally and externally in the debate surrounding the Guide, in coherence with the Group's Strategic Plan and its Road Map, with respect to managing environmental risks and those associated to climate change.

 

 

In the specific context of COVID-19 (see Notes 2 and 3.1), CaixaBank is responding to the public sector's funding needs, arising from an exceptional context, while continuing to monitor the Group's level of exposure and risk appetite in this segment.

 

Furthermore, in relation to the private sector, CaixaBank adds to the public moratorium provided in Royal Decree-Law 8/2020 with other agreements, primarily of a sectoral nature. The Group has also made efforts to ensure the deployment of new ICO (Spanish Official Credit Institute) guarantee facilities under Royal Decree-Law 8/2020, which CaixaBank also extends using working capital facilities and special funding facilities, among others.

 

Furthermore, BPI has its own extraordinary measures to handle the impact of COVID-19, approved under the scope of Decree-Law 10-J/2020, issued by the Portuguese government. These measures cover actions of a similar nature to the foregoing. Furthermore, they are accounted for under the same criteria as all other companies in the Group.

(*) Including the operations of RDL 8/2020, RDL 11/2020, Decree-Law 10-J/2020 (Portugal) and the Sector Understanding, which have not been rejected, cancelled or withdrawn by customers.

In this context, as regards the principles for measuring expected credit losses for the purpose of defining the credit risk loss hedges, the following considerations stand out:

 

  n Processing the significant increase in credit risk (SICR):

This assessment was carried out taking into account all the reasonable and substantiated information available at the closing date of the condensed interim financial statements, as well as the exercise that was already being applied to identify changes in default risk during the expected life of loans and credit.

 

 
 
 

3. Risk management

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

For operations whose holders had requested application of the moratorium under RDL 8/2020 at the closing date, no automatic material increase in their credit risk has been considered. Thus, they have been classified according to the triggers that have been applied by the Group to classify operations in stages.

 

  n Processing of the planned moratoria:

The aforementioned RDL requires financial institutions to suspend the loan payment (repayment of capital and payment of interest) for a specific period.

 

Given that interests cannot accrue over time that increase the mortgage debt of these operations, there is a loss in financial terms due to the modification of the contract, which has been estimated by the Group and recorded at 30 June 2020, on the basis of applications which, on said date, would meet the conditions established in the public moratorium. The amount registered in the income statement on 30 June 2020 was EUR 48 million.

 

  n Identification of refinanced transactions:

At the close of 30 June 2020, the bulk of operations that underwent contractual changes fell into the field of moratoriums, both legislative and sectoral, whose objective is to avoid a prolonged economic impact beyond the COVID-19 health crisis.

 

Given that these public and sectoral moratoriums are based respectively on the application of national legislation and an agreement applied broadly and consistently across the sector, the conditions are there to not require operations to be registered as refinancing or restructuring when the borrower, still having liquidity difficulties, did not have deteriorated capital adequacy prior to COVID-19.

 

These operations were still classified as normal insofar that there was no reasonable doubt regarding their repayment and there was no significant increase to credit risk.

 

  n Update on the macroeconomic scenarios:

The Group has reflected the changes in the macroeconomic scenarios and modified the weighting given to each scenario used in the estimate of expected loss due to credit risk. To do this, scenarios with internal economic forecasts have been used, with different levels of severity, which incorporate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on the economy, according to the stipulations of the 'Economic context' section herein in Note 3.

 

The projected variables considered are as follows:

During the first half of 2020, structural interest rate risks of the balance sheet, market risk (relating to the trading portfolio) and financial-actuarial risk of insurance have been managed in accordance with the established policies, which have experienced relevant changes. The low level of exposure to these risks has meant that – in an environment of extreme volatility in the financial markets – there have been no major impacts on the Group's risk profile or on its financial situation or assets. Notwithstanding the above, it is not possible to rule out the volatility of the markets having financial impacts on the Group through volatility in value adjustments, both from derivatives (CVA/DVA/FVA), and from financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income.

 

In relation to the operational risk of the first half of the year, it is important to highlight that both CaixaBank and companies of the Group have activated their respective Business Continuity Plans in the context of COVID-19 and the population confinement recommendation, to ensure the uninterrupted provision of financial services, identified/catalogued as essential.

 

Despite the complexity of the situation, thanks to high levels of preparation, resilience and technological security, management capacity and the commitment of its employees, the Group has remained fully operational, both through its branch network and its digital channels.

 

The context has required the financial business transformation to be accelerated, with a migration from in-person interactions to digital transactions, including the mass adoption of remote communication tools for interacting with customers, suppliers and

(1) Includes:

 

i) Dividends forecast. In June 2020, 43% of the consolidated income was deducted as established by prudential regulations (average payout of the last 3 years). Taking into account the Dividends Policy approved by the Board of Directors, which establishes a maximum payment of 30% of income, CET1 would improve by +2bps.

 

ii) Transitional IFRS9 adjustment. In March 2020, CaixaBank adopted the transitional provisions of IFRS9, which allows it to partially mitigate the pro-cyclicality associated to the provisions model under IFRS9 in its capital adequacy calculations, throughout the transitional period established.

 

(2) Mainly senior non-preferred debt.
(3) In the first half of 2020 there was a new issuance of preferred senior debt for the amount of EUR 1,000 million.
(4) The MREL requirement at the consolidated level, as of 31 December 2020, is 22.7% of RWAs and 10.6% over TLOF. On 30 June 2020, the ratio over TLOF stands at 9.0%.

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

CaixaBank's ratios at the individual level are 14.1% CET1, 15.7% Tier1 and 18.1% Total Capital, with RWAs of EUR 135,306 million on 30 June 2020.

 

A causal breakdown of the main aspects of the first half of 2020 that have influenced the CET1 ratio is presented below:

 

 

 

The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is kept at 12.3%. In the first quarter, +32 basis points were collected due to the extraordinary reduction of the dividend expected to be charged to 2019, as one of the measures adopted by the Board of Directors as a result of COVID-19. The organic evolution of capital has remained stable, the dividend forecast for the year represents -6 basis points and market developments and others impact -49 basis points. The impact of the application of the IRFS9 transient standards has been +48 basis points (of which +22 basis points for changes in methodology introduced by CRR 2.5).

 

The evolution of RWAs includes EUR -1.8bn (+15 basis points of CET1) due to the impact of the CRR 2.5 regulation with respect to the capital consumption reduction factors when financing SMEs and infrastructure projects.

 

The following table summarizes the minimum requirements for computable own resources:

  Tier 2 3,499 2.38%   2,958 2.00%
  Total capital 18,061 12.26%   18,159 12.28%

(*) For 2020, the same requirements remain in place as for 2019 (the Pillar I minimum requirement of 4.5%; the Pillar II requirement of 1.5%; the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, and the O-SII (Other Systemically Important Institution) buffer of 0.25%, whereby the countercyclical capital buffer for exposure to third-party countries is updated quarterly. On 30 June 2020, the countercyclical buffer considered is 1 bp and on 31 December 2019 it was 3 bps.

 

Furthermore, as of 2020 and as a result of the measures adopted by the supervisory authorities, CRD V is being applied in advance with respect to the composition of Pillar 2, which proportionally covers the requirements of Pillar 1 with the different capital levels (see Note 3.1).

5. Shareholder remuneration and earnings per share

 

In order to accommodate the position of the Group to the environment arising from the expansion of COVID-19 and to the measures rolled out by the authorities to slow the spread (see Note 1.6), in its session of 26 March 2020, the Board of Directors decided to amend the dividend policy in force comprising the distribution of a cash dividend above 50% of the consolidated net profit, exclusively for 2020, to distribute a cash dividend of no more than 30% of the reported consolidated net profit. The Board of Directors stated its intent to allocate at least an amount higher than 50% of consolidated net profit to the cash remuneration for future financial years, once the circumstances that led to the modification have dissipated.

 

For future financial years, once the circumstances that have brought about this amendment have ceased, the Board of Directors has announced future plans to distribute any capital that exceeds the CET1 capital adequacy ratio of 12% as an extraordinary dividend and/or buy-back shares. This extraordinary payout of excess capital will be conditional on the macroeconomic situation in which the Group operates returning to normal and will not take place in any event before 2021.

 

 

The following dividends were distributed this year (see Note 1.6):

(*) In March 2020, coverage of fair value was cancelled on 1% of said holding (conducted through an equity swap), recording a capital gain of EUR 177 million under the heading "Accumulated other comprehensive income" of net equity.

 

On 10 July 2020, the stake in Telefónica, SA became 4.9% due to the dilutive effect of the scrip dividend (5.0% on 31 December 2019).

 

(**) Dated 25 June 2020, the CaixaBank Group sold its direct and indirect stake of 11.51% in Caser, after receiving the pertinent administrative authorisations, for the price of EUR 139 million. The operation did not have a significant material impact for the Group.

The estimate of the recoverable value of BFA is based on a dividend discount model (DDM), subsequently compared to comparison multiple methodologies. The main assumptions used in the dividend discount model are set out below:

Allowances for impairment of associates and joint ventures

 

The Group has a methodology in place (described in Note 16 of the 2019 consolidated financial statements) for assessing recoverable amounts and potential impairment of its investments in associates and joint ventures.

 

The Group carries out, at least annually, a verification of the value of shares by updating the projected cash flows, with a sensitivity analysis on the most significant variables. At the closing date of the balance sheet, and considering the exceptional nature arising from the current economic environment (see Notes 1.6 and 3.1), an assessment of signs of impairment has been carried out on the most significant shares, contrasting certain indicators with external and internal sources, using the assessment methodology and hypotheses (discount rate and growth rate), consistent with those of 2019. If there was a sign significantly and persistently calling into questioning the fundamental indicators of these shares, the Group would estimate the recoverable value of the assets.

 

On 30 June 2020, there are no indications that call into question the recoverable amount of the investments that exceed the accounting value thereof.

During the first six months of 2020, there has been no individually significant profit/loss from sales.

 

On 30 June 2020, the Group has no relevant commitments in terms of purchasing property, plant and equipment.

 

In addition, property, plant and equipment for own use are primarily allocated to the banking business cash-generating unit (CGU) (see Note 13).

 

 
 
 

13. Intangible assets

13. Intangible assets

 

During the first six months of 2020, there were no significant changes under this heading.

 

As set out in Note 19 to the 2019 consolidated financial statements, the Group carries out, at least annually, a verification of the value of the fixed assets assigned to the CGU of the Banking Business and insurance business by updating the projected cash flows, with a sensitivity analysis on the most significant variables.

 

The projections are determined using assumptions based on the macroeconomic data applicable to the Group's activity, contrasted by means of renowned external sources and the entities' internal information. A summary of the ranges of assumptions used and the ranges of contrasting sensitivity are provided below:

Growth rate * 2.00% 2.00% [-0.5%; + 0.5%]
(*) Corresponds to the normalised growth rate used to calculate the net carrying value

At the close of the period, the existing impairment tests were reviewed, taking into consideration the new information available, and, in particular, the exceptional nature of the current economic climate (see Notes 1.6 and 3.1). The existence of possible impairments was also assessed using sensitivity scenarios. As a result of this analysis, although some assumptions and certain expected future flows were modified as a result of the aforementioned exceptional circumstances, it was deemed that there was no need to perform any impairments. The effects on the estimates that take place as a result of new information available in the future will be reviewed prospectively and continually on future closing dates.

Reference rate for mortgages in Spain

 

In relation to the reference rate for mortgages in Spain, a preliminary ruling has been submitted to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that challenges the validity of the mortgage loan contracts subject to the official reference rate – called IRPH (Spanish reference rate for mortgages) – due to an alleged lack of transparency.

 

The legal matter of the debate is the transparency test based on article 4.2 of Directive 93/13, in cases when the borrower is a consumer. Given that the IRPH is the price of the contract and it is included in the definition of the main purpose of the contract, it must be written using clear and understandable language to enable the consumer to use clear and comprehensible criteria to assess the economic consequences on them deriving from the contract.

 

The aforementioned preliminary ruling was made by a Magistrates Court several months after the Spanish High Court passed its judgment declaring that these contracts were valid, on 14 December 2017.

 

Following the criterion laid down by the advocate general in his conclusions of 10 September 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union gave its judgment, on 3 March 2020, confirming that the IRPH reference rate is not extortionate, and establishing the following guidelines to determine the fulfilment of the transparency demands of the clause that sets the IRPH – a matter that must be settled in each specific case brought to trial – and which must be taken into account by national judges: i) it shall be formally and grammatically understandable, ii) it shall allow an average consumer – usually informed and reasonably attentive and perceptive – to be able to understand the specific operation of the calculation method of the aforementioned interest rate and to assess the economic consequences of the same on payment obligations.

 

With regard to previous requirements, the CJEU deems especially pertinent for the assessment that the national judge must make, the fact that the main elements regarding the calculation of the aforementioned index are easily accessible, given that it is an official index included in the Bank of Spain transparency circular, published in turn in the Official State Gazette and, on the other hand, the supply of information on the past evolution of the index during the two calendar years prior to the execution of the contract and on the last available value.

 

Similarly, the TJUE determines the consequences of a possible statement on the lack of transparency on marketing. If, in a particular case, a judge considered that there was no transparency and that the consumer would suffer damages from the cancellation of the contract, the judge must first consider that which is agreed between the parties as a replacement index and, otherwise, a "supplementary legal” index “(the CJEU references, for these purposes, the IRPH Entidades (Companies) index considered in the fifteenth additional provision of Act 14/2013, of 27 September 2013).

 

On 30 June 2020, the total amount of mortgages up to date with payments tied to the IRPH index, held by individuals, is approximately EUR 5,678 million (the majority with consumers, but not all). The Group does not hold provisions for this item.

 

 
 
 

17. Provisions

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

Litigation linked to consumer credit contracts (revolving cards) through the application of the Usury Repression Act of 1908, as a result of the Spanish High Court Judgment dated 04.03.2020

 

The Spanish High Court has recently given a sector-relevant judgment on the contracts of revolving cards and/or deferred-payment cards. The resolution determines i) that revolving cads are market-specific within credit facilities, ii) that the Bank of Spain publishes a specific benchmark interest rate for this product in its Statistical Bulletin, which is the one that must be used as a reference to determine which is the 'normal interest rate', iii) that 'the average interest rate of credit transactions on credit and revolving cards from the Bank of Spain statistics (...) was somewhat higher than 20%' and iv) that an APR like that analysed in the specific case, between 26.82% and 27.24%, is 'notably disproportionate', which entails the contract becoming null and void and the interests paid being refunded. This judgment, unlike the previous one on this subject matter where the supra duplum rule was used to define the disproportionate price – i.e. exceeding twice the ordinary average interest – does not, on this occasion, provide specific criteria or accuracy to determine with legal certainty the amount of excess or difference between the “normal interest rate” that can entail the invalidity of the contract. This circumstance is likely to bring about a significant number of lawsuits and a diverse series of judicial criteria, the specific effects of which cannot be currently determined, and which will be subject to specific monitoring and management.

 

In accordance with the best information available up to now, the heading "Other Provisions" includes an estimate of the current obligations that may arise from judicial proceedings, included those relating to revolving cards and/or those with deferred payments, the occurrence of which is deemed to be likely.

 

In any case, any disbursements that may ultimately be necessary will depend on the specific terms of the judgments which the Group must face, and/or the number of claims that are brought, among others. Given the nature of these obligations, the expected timing of outflows of funds embodying economic benefits, should they arise, is uncertain.

 

The Group also deems that any responsibility arising from these proceedings will not, as a whole, have a material adverse effect on the Group's businesses, financial position or the results of its operations.

19. Tax situation

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

The Group does not have any significant unrecognised deferred tax assets.

 

In collaboration with an independent expert, the Group assesses the recoverable amount of its deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet, consistent with the exercises of verifying the value of assets subscribed to the CGU of the banking business and the insurance business (see Note 13). On 30 June 2020, this analysis supported the recoverability of tax assets prior to their legal prescription, estimating that recognised deferred tax assets arising from credits from negative tax bases, deductions and non-monetisable timing differences corresponding to Spanish jurisdiction, will have recovered in a maximum period of 16 years.

21. Segment information

 

CaixaBank Group | Interim financial information on 30 June 2020

 

 

21. Segment information

 

The objective of business segment reporting is to allow internal supervision and management of the Group’s activity and profits. The information is broken down into several lines of business according to the Group’s organisation and structure. The segments are defined and segregated taking into account the inherent risks and management characteristics of each one, based on the basic business units which have accounting and management figures.

 

The following is applied to create them: i) the same presentation principles are applied as those used in Group management information, and ii) the same accounting principles and policies as those used to prepare the financial statements.

 

As a result, the Group is made up of the following business segments:

 

Banking and insurance: shows earnings from the Group's banking, insurance and asset management activity mainly in Spain, as well as liquidity management, ALCO, income from financing the other businesses and the Group-wide corporate centre. It also includes the business acquired by CaixaBank from BPI during 2018 (insurance, asset management and cards) as well as the non-core real estate business (with the exception of Coral Homes) after the sale of 80% of this business in 2018.

 

The insurance and banking business is presented in a unified way consistent with the joint business and risk management, since it is a comprehensive business model within a regulatory framework that shares similar monitoring and accounting objectives. The Group markets insurance products, in addition to the other financial products, through its business network with the same client base, because the majority of the insurance products offer savings alternatives (life-savings and pensions) to the banking products (savings and investment funds).

 

Equity investments: This line of business essentially shows earnings on dividends and/or equity-accounted profits from the stakes, as well as the Trading income, held in Erste Group Bank, Telefónica, BFA, BCI and Coral Homes (since 1 January 2019). Similarly, it includes the significant impacts on income of other relevant stakes acquired in various sectors.

 

BPI: covers the income from BPI's domestic banking business. The income statement shows the reversal of the fair value adjustments of the assets and liabilities resulting from the business combination and excludes the results and balance sheet figures associated with the assets of BPI assigned to the equity investments business (essentially BFA and BCI).

 

The operating expenses of these business segments include both direct and indirect costs, which are assigned according to internal distribution methods.

 

In 2020, the allocation of capital to the investment businesses has been adapted to the Group's new capital corporate objective of maintaining a fully-loaded Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.5% (12% in 2019), taking into account both the 11.5% consumption of capital for risk-weighted assets and any applicable deductions.

 

The allocation of capital to BPI is at sub-consolidated level, i.e. taking into account the subsidiary's own funds. The capital consumed in BPI by the investees allocated to the investment business is allocated consistently to this business.

 

The difference between the Group’s total shareholders' equity and the capital assigned to the other businesses is attributed to the banking and insurance business, which includes the Group’s corporate centre.

 

The performance of the Group by business segment is shown below:

(*) The insurance companies use a combination of financial instruments in the financial immunisation strategies to cover the risks to which their activities are exposed. For these purposes, in the investment operations of the Group's insurance business, different fixed-income securities include financial swaps which, in accordance with the sector practice and the applicable monitoring criteria, are recognised jointly, whether it is in "Available-for-sale financial assets" or in the amortised cost portfolio, and the fair value is shown in the top table.

 

These financial swaps individually assessed only taking into account their legal form will not pass the SPPI test considered in IFRS 9. Following on from this, within the framework of the project to implement IFRS 9 which is ongoing in the insurance companies, the Group has analysed the different accounting alternatives considered in the regulatory framework (including hedge accounting) jointly with the main changes that will be introduced by IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts in the assessment of technical provisions; the ultimate aim of all the foregoing is to avoid asymmetries in the income statement and assets of the Group.

 

As regards the fixed-income instruments, the insurance companies have not estimated as 'material' the expected loss which, in the first adoption of IFRS 9, would be recorded under reserves.

In accordance with regulations governing the mortgage market, issuers of mortgage covered bonds are required to disclose relevant information regarding their issuances. Consequently, CaixaBank, SA presents the following information regarding its total mortgage covered bond issuances:

 

Information on support and privileges available to holders of mortgage covered bonds issued by the Group

 

CaixaBank is the only Group entity that issues mortgage covered bonds in Spain.

 

Mortgage covered bonds are securities in which the principal and interest are especially secured, with no need for registration, by mortgages on all the bonds registered in favour of the Entity, without prejudice to liability of the Entity’s assets.

 

The securities include credit rights for holders vis-à-vis the Entity, guaranteed as stated in the preceding paragraphs, and entail execution to claim payment for the issuer after they mature. The holders of these securities are considered to be creditors with special preference, as stipulated in section 3 of Article 1,923 of the Civil Code, vis-à-vis any other creditor, in relation to the total mortgage credits and loans registered in favour of the issuer. All holders of bonds, irrespective of their date of issue, have the same seniority over the loans and credits which guarantee the bonds.

 

The members of the Board of Directors certify that CaixaBank has express policies and procedures in place covering all activities carried out within the scope of its mortgage market issuances, and that they guarantee strict compliance with the mortgage market regulations applicable to such activities. These policies and procedures cover issues such as:

 

  n Relationship between the sum of loans and credits and the appraisal value of the mortgaged asset.
  n Relationship between the debt and the borrower's income, and verification of the information provided by the borrower and its solvency.
  n Prevention of mismatches between flows from the hedging portfolio and those arising from payments owed on issued securities.
  n Proper procedures for the selection of appraisers.

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 During the first half of 2020, the COVID - 19 crisis gave even more meaning to CaixaBank's Model of S o ci a l ly Re s p o n s i b le Ba n k i n g . Du r i n g t h is p e r io d , C a i x a B a nk i m p l e m e n t e d its # Contigo MásQue Nunca ( With you more than ever ) initiative, to remain alongside its customers, shareholders, employees and society on the whole throughout the coronavirus pandemic . Section 4 . COVID - 19 : CaixaBank's response to the emergency and contribution to recovery , describes the main measures taken in this context . COVID - 19 Social Bond The measures include the issuance of € 1 bn as a COVID - 19 Social Bond . The bonds are preferred senior debt, maturing over six years (with the option for early cancellation after the fifth year), and a fixed coupon of 0 . 75 % (equivalent to mid - swap plus 117 basis points) . It is worth noting the high demand over € 3 bn . 100 % of the funds will be allocated to funding granted in 2020 , as a result of Royal Decree - Law 8 / 2020 , of 8 April, on anti - COVID measures, with the purpose of mitigating economic and social impacts derived from the pandemic . Loans were financed for entrepreneurs, micro - enterprises and SMEs in the most disadvantaged regions of Spain . This represents further progress in terms of CaixaBank's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically to the SDG 8 . Promote financial productivity (diversification, technological modernisation, innovation and added value) Promote entrepreneurship and innovation, and the growth of micro - enterprises and SMEs through access to financial services Expand access to financial banking and insurance services for everybody On 31 May 2020 , the eligible portfolio, according to the criteria of SDG Bond issuance framework 1 , amounted to € 4 bn, € 1 , 7 bn of which corresponds to new loans with the partial guarantee of the ICO, destined to tackle the financial impacts of the pandemic . This is the second social bond issued under the Framework of SDG - related bond issuances , published in August 2019 . The first social bond from CaixaBank (September 2019) was recognised as the Best Social Bond of the Year (banking) by Environmental Finance. 1 Bond issue framework related to the SDGs, Presentation and Independent Opinion of Sustainalytics in the following link to the CaixaBank corporate website: https:// www.caixabank.com/inversores - institucionales/inversores - renta - fija/bonos - ods_es.html. The issuance of the COVID - 19 social bond allows CaixaBank to move forward with its strategic objective to be a benchmark in responsible banking and social commitment , as well as the following milestones for this half of the year, among others . Target gender equality CaixaBank adheres to the international Target Gender Equality programme, promoted by the United Nations Global Compact . The objective of the programme is to increase the representation of women on boards of directors and in senior management positions . This programme was born out of the need to accelerate progress in the field of gender equality in business . Target Gender Equality calls on all businesses and organisations of the Global Compact to apply measures to promote gender equality at all levels and in all areas of activity . During the programme, participating companies will be given support in setting and achieving ambitious targets in terms of women's representation and leadership at all levels through an analysis of their performance, skill development workshops, learning between equals and dialogue with multiple stakeholders at a national and international level . With the changes described in section 2 . 2 Corporate Governance , in 2020 the representation of women on the CaixaBank Board of Directors is 40 % ( 37 . 5 % at 2019 year - end) . VidaCaixa has formalised its adhesion to the United Nations Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) establishes a global framework of reference for the insurance sector with which to approach environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities . Human rights: due diligence and assessment 2020 The first half of 2020 saw the conclusion of the human rights due diligence process, which CaixaBank performs periodically with an independent third party 2 . The evaluation given is satisfactory, and demonstrates a suitable environment of control . ▪ ▪ CaixaBank has a sufficient degree of coverage for each of the human rights risk events. CaixaBank holds a matured position in terms of protecting and respecting human rights, and responds to the commitments defined in its Corporate Policy on human rights. 2 Further information at: https:// www.caixabank.com/deployedfiles/caixabank/Estaticos/PDFs/responsabilidad_corporativa/Resumen_Proceso_Debida_Diligencia_Assess men t_DDHH_Jun io_2020_VF.pdf 5

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 2.1 Share structure On 30 June 2020 , CaixaBank's stock capital is represented by 5 , 981 , 438 , 031 shares, each with a nominal value of 1 euro, of the same class and series, with identical political and economic rights, represented through book entries . The aforementioned capital stock is distributed as follows : Shareholder structure 1 Management data. Number of shares available for the public, calculated as the number of shares issued minus the number of brought - back shares and those held by Directors and shareholders represented on the Board of Directors. The purchase and sale of own shares, by the Company or by its subsidiary companies, will be adapted to the provisions of regulations in force and the agreements of the Annual General Meeting . Information on the acquisition and disposal of shares held in treasury during the period is included in Note 18 "Equity" to the accompanying six - monthly Financial Statements. Evolution of stock in the first half of 2020 The CaixaBank share closed on 30 June 2020 at € 1 . 901 per share, recovering some of the losses up until May and finishing the first half of the year with an accumulated annual decrease of - 32 . 1 % . In relative terms, it recorded a better evolution than selective benchmark banks, with Eurostoxx Banks registering a decline of 35 . 0 % and Ibex Bancos 40 . 7 % . The general indexes also recorded double - digit declines, but somewhat less : the Eurostoxx 50 dropped 13 . 6 % and the Ibex 35 fell by 24 . 3 % . The first half of the financial year was marked by the COVID - 19 pandemic, dealing with the confinement and huge uncertainties around the corresponding economic impact, which, in March, led to the biggest slump in the financial markets in many decades . Since then, the continuous deployment of monetary and fiscal incentives and the gradual reopening of the economies reassured investors and revived risk appetite . This led to some recovery to the stock exchanges during the second quarter, which slowed down again in June due to the increased number of cases in the Americas and second outbreaks in Asia and Europe . At the European level, the response of the financial authorities since the start of the crisis has been substantial . Among other things, this included the EC Recovery Plan ('Next Generation EU'), or the set of measures launched by the ECB to guarantee the liquidity of the markets, extend the funding capacity of financial institutions and support loans and advances to businesses and households, in an economic environment that is expected to be exigent in the coming quarters . Evolution of the stock in the first half of 2020 1 For shares held by investors trading through a brokering entity located outside of Spain, the broker is considered to be the shareholder and appears as such in the corresponding register. 2 Includes treasury shares.

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 2.2 Corporate governance 2020 Annual General Meeting Taking into account the importance of the General Meeting for the standard functioning of CaixaBank, for the sake of social interest and the protection of its shareholders, customers, employees and investors in general, and with the purpose of guaranteeing the rights and equal treatment of shareholders, the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM 2020 ) was held on the same dates and times established in the call published on 16 April . The meeting planned for 2 and 3 April had already been cancelled due to the uncertainty . The AGM 2020 took place, in its second call, on 22 May 2020 . As a result of the continued health risk derived from the spread of COVID - 19 , the limitations to mobility and the inability to hold physical meetings with multiple people, the AGM 2020 was held exclusively online through a platform set up on CaixaBank's corporate website . All the items on the agenda were approved in the AGM 2020 , including the management and results of the 2019 financial year and changes to the composition of the Board . A new proposal to distribute income according to the figures indicated in the Annual Accounts drawn up on 20 February was also approved, as a measure to accommodate the Institution's situation in the context of COVID - 19 . All the information relating to the AGM 2020 is available on the corporate website, in the Information for shareholders and investors menu and the Annual General Meeting section . 66.3% quorum of share capital (65.6% in 2019) 96% approval on average (96% in 2019) Changes in the composition of the Board and its committees The AGM 2020 approved the reduction of the Board of Directors by one member, setting the number of directors at 15 . CaixaBank thus complies with the recommendation 13 of the CNMV Code of Good Commerce . The independent director John S Reed was appointed Coordinating Director, replacing Xavier Vives, who, after 12 years in the position and once his mandate expired, was not nominated for re - election as a director in the AGM 2020 . The AGM 2020 approved the appointment of Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz as a member of the Board of Directors, as a proprietary director, at the proposal of the Fundación Bancaria Caixa d'Estalvis I Pensions de Barcelona, "la Caixa", for a four - year period, to cover the vacancy following Marcelino Armenter's resignation . The appointment of Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz is subject to a suitability verification by the competent banking supervisor . As well as the changes to the composition of the Board of Directors, an agreement was made to reorganise the composition of the Board committees : Appointment Board Position and Committee Substitutes Koro Usarraga Vocal de la Comisión Ejecutiva Xavier Vives Eduardo Javier Sanchiz Vocal de la Comisión de Nombramientos Xavier Vives Cristina Garmendia Vocal de la Comisión de Auditoría y Control Vocal de la Comisión de Retribuciones Verónica Fisas Verónica Fisas Vocal de la Comisión de Riesgos Tomás Muniesa Vocal de la Comisión de Riesgos 7

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 3. Context and perspectives Economic context (scenarios subject to a degree of extreme uncertainty) The scenarios that follow have been built in an unusual situation of high uncertainty, arising from the many unknown epidemiological and health aspects of the COVID - 19 pandemic, and the variety of economic policy responses that can be implemented in the different countries in dealing with this shock . Global and eurozone evolution COVID - 19 and the activity restrictions needed to contain it have plunged the world into an unusually abrupt recession . Besides the halted activity in the most affected economies, where the available data shows a strong impact of the lockdown measures (GDP in China shrunk by around 10 % in the first quarter, whilst in the Eurozone it is estimated that GDP fell by around 25 % in the last weeks of March, when the lockdown was consolidated), all economies are exposed to the shock of COVID - 19 due to the decrease in global demand, international supply chain disruptions and the hardened conditions of the financial environment . Throughout the second quarter, whilst the economic reactivation in China was gaining traction (and activity may have already normalised in sectors such as industry), in the main advanced economies activity fell sharply in April, but since May, the progressive lifting of restrictions has brought about a gradual recovery of the indicators . Overall, unprecedented falls in GDP are expected in the advanced economies for the whole of the second quarter . Going forward, the activity should re - establish itself gradually in the coming months . However, without a vaccine or effective treatment, global activity will continue to be conditioned by social distancing measures . Subsequently, it is forecast that the global GDP in 2020 will register a fall greater than that of the Great Recession of 2009 , but in 2021 the global economy will once again be back on a path of growth . When dealing with this scenario, all spheres of economic politics are deploying a set of measures on an extraordinary scale, and the monetary policy of the main central banks has been especially aggressive to placate the financial stress, protect the proper functioning of the markets and anchor an environment of low interest rates for a long period of time . However, the evolution of the pandemic and the medical advances will be the main determining factor of this scenario in the coming quarters . In the eurozone, the available indicators suggest that the fall in activity for the whole of the second quarter of the year will have been around - 20 % . With this, although it is expected that activity will continue to re - establish itself gradually in the coming months, estimates suggest that the fall in GDP in 2020 could be around 10 % (followed by a rebound of more than 8 % in 2021 ), although with key differences between countries . Economies that have been affected by the pandemic to a lesser extent, those with an economic structure less sensitive to the restrictions on mobility and/or more able to take action with regard to fiscal policy will better ride out this situation . In this context of shock with asymmetrical effects depending on the country, both actions that are being carried out by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Recovery Plan agreed upon by EU leaders constitute important actions to favour synchronised reactivation among European economies . Furthermore, we should highlight that the importance of the Recovery Plan exceeds the strict framework for supporting the EU's way out of the recession, as it contains elements that could entail a step forward in terms of European construction . Spanish economy overview The Spanish economy will follow a dynamic that is similar to the European level, although the importance of sectors that are particularly sensitive to mobility restrictions will probably suffer somewhat more intense declines in activity (the tourism sector represents 12 . 3 % of the GDP and, overall, sectors such as accommodation and food services, trade, leisure and transport represent around 25 % of the GDP) . Therefore, we forecast that the contraction of GDP for the whole of 2020 will be around 13 % - 15 % , the actual figure will depend on the ability to quickly control any new outbreaks and minimise their impact on economic activity . In this situation, it is expected that the recovery that began halfway through this year will gain traction in 2021 , with a rebound of 10 % - 11 % . The measures taken by the authorities, both domestic and at EU level, which must be extended if necessary, and the expected recovery from the pandemic with a vaccine or effective treatment well into the coming year will contribute to this . Although this is the most likely scenario, we cannot rule out a more favourable outcome if occupation rates during the tourist season exceed 50 % and if improved confidence supports a stronger short - term rebound of consumption and investment . Portuguese economy overview Portugal, which also has a significant dependence on tourism and foreign demand (the tourism sector exceeds 14 % of the GDP, and total exports represent almost 45 % of GDP), is faced with a scenario similar to Spain's . The available indicators suggest that the economic halt in April will be reflected in a sharp fall in GDP for the whole of Q 2 , despite the gradual recovery in May . So, combined with the difficulties faced by tourism and the expectation that the recovery of the activity will be gradual, it is forecast that there will be a fall in GDP in 2020 of around - 12 % followed by a rebound of around 8 % in 2021 . 8

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Social, technological and competitive context COVID - 19 and the financial crisis derived from mobility and activity restrictions are having significant economic consequences, and have given rise to a range of major (and potentially permanent) changes to habits and behaviours . Among others, there is a heightened relevance to managing environmental risks, due to the parallel nature of the economic shock caused by the health crisis and the shocks that could be caused by climate change, customers' increased preference for remote interactions and the generalised adoption of remote working . Strategy In this new context, the Institution considers that the 5 strategic lines defined in the 2019 - 2021 Strategic Plan are still fully in force, given that they perfectly reflect these trends accelerating after COVID - 19 . However, if is convenient to redefine the priorities of each of these lines and review some of the objectives established (both financial and non - financial), in order to : a) ensure that the objectives are viable given the new macroeconomic scenario ; b) further accelerate the Institution's digital transformation ; c) incorporate delays into ongoing projects due to the health crisis . This review will be completed throughout Q 3 this year, when there is more clarity regarding the intensity of economic recovery . Business profitability Undoubtedly, the main impact of COVID - 19 is the severe deterioration of the economic climate during the first half of 2020 , as well as the high level of uncertainty regarding the speed of recovery . This new economic environment will put downward pressure on banking performance levels . In particular, revenue will be affected by a climate of minimal interest rates for a prolonged period of time, which will end up compressing net interest income . On the other hand, business volume will also suffer following the fall in activity . Additionally, we can expect that the weakened financial situation among families and businesses will cause a significant upturn in arrearage . This fact will lead to a reduced volume of productive assets with the capacity to contribute to the net interest margin, and an increase in provisions due to asset impairment (which will erode the gross margin) . In this regard, decreased revenue in the banking sector highlights the need to make additional efforts to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency levels . Solvency The higher capital levels (in relation to the 2008 - 2014 crisis) give the Spanish banking sector a higher capacity to absorb the increased cost of risk that may arise in this more adverse climate . Furthermore, the response of the authorities in terms of monetary policy and prudential supervision has been quick and significant . Nevertheless, a prolonged economic deterioration over time could significant impair the solvency of the sector . Sustainability The areas of financial inclusion and education, corporate governance and environmental risk management continue to gain relevance . In particular, the growing attention (both from investors and society at large) on ESG aspects (environmental, social and governance) is now accompanied by increasing regulations on all levels . Among others, we can highlight the publication of recommendations and standards that aim to guide businesses, investors and supervisors, and provide them with the right tools for proper management and governance . As an example of this, there is the European Banking Authority's Action Plan for Sustainable Finance by 2025 , which will progressively be translated into specific regulatory initiatives, and the ECB guide on climate and environmental risks, which will be mandatory once the definitive version is published (around the end of 2020 ), and which emphasises the dissemination of non - financial reporting, the management of climate risks and the decarbonisation of the portfolio . Meanwhile, there is also the European Commission's Post - COVID - 19 economic recovery plan, which leverages on the European Green Deal, and in Spain, the Climate Change and Energy Transition Act, which is currently being processed in the Congress of Deputies . Both initiatives could be translated into a bigger boost of activities that help to mitigate and adapt to climate change, but also into a greater potential exposure to sectors that have high carbon emissions or are exposed to transition risks . In this environment, the principles and values that CaixaBank bases itself on demonstrate a strong alignment with the ESG principles . Furthermore, CaixaBank deems it essential to accelerate the transition to a low - carbon economy, which promotes sustainable development and is socially inclusive . In line with this, CaixaBank has an Environmental Strategy and works to contribute to this transition by reducing the direct impact of operations, and financing and investing in sustainable projects . Meanwhile, CaixaBank is also a signatory and is adhered to multiple initiatives and working groups to address improved management and reporting in these areas, among other aspects . Finally, CaixaBank is also committed to improving financial culture and inclusion to help provide access to financial services to the whole of society, and with active social policies that go beyond financial activity and aim to help with social problems . This commitment has been particularly relevant during the COVID - 19 pandemic, which saw the Institution work intensely to mitigate the economic and social effects of the situation, and to provide a response to the groups most affected by the crisis . 9

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Digitisation and customer experience With respect to the acceleration of other trends following the COVID - 19 crisis, habits and behaviours have accelerated the digitalisation tendency, which has long conditioned the competitive environment in which financial institutions work . Among other things, this environment is characterised by a growing customer - focused approach . Thus, new technologies and digitalisation have increased the standards of service that the customer expects (with respect to convenience, immediacy, customisation or cost) . Faced with this increasing exigency from customers, the requirements for keeping them happy and loyal are greater, and caring for the user experience is essential . Similarly, the digitalisation of the sector is also encouraging the appearance of new untraditional competitors, such as FinTech companies and BigTech digital platforms, with high disruptive potential in terms of competition . These new competitors tend to hone in on specific financial services, which differs from the traditional banking model . The entrance of this new competitors in specific businesses may entail a fragmentation of the chain of value, with an impact on margins and on the capacity to cross - sell . CaixaBank is facing the challenge of digitalisation with a well - defined strategy, focused on improving the customer experience . In this regard, the digital transformation offers the Institution new opportunities to understand its customers and offer them a higher - value proposal, using a multi - channel assistance model . Furthermore, to respond to the change of habits derived from the health crisis, the Institution will particularly emphasise initiatives that allow for greater interaction with customers through remote channels . Meanwhile, the digital transformation is also leading the Institution to delve deeper into the development of skills like advanced analytics and the provision of native digital services . With respect to this last point, CaixaBank will continue to foster new business models, including Imagin, a digital ecosystem focussed on the youngest segment, which offers financial and non - financial products and services . The Institution is also driving new ways of working (more cross - cutting and collaborative), and is looking to collaborate more actively with new entrants, as a way to improve the service offered to customers . Cybersecurity The increase in digital operations makes it necessary to enhance the focus on cybersecurity and information protection . CaixaBank is aware of the current threat level, which is why it continually monitors the field of technology and applications, in order to ensure the integrity and privacy of information, the availability of IT systems and business continuity . This monitoring is carried out through planned reviews and a continued audit (which includes monitoring risk indicators) . Furthermore, CaixaBank conducts the pertinent analyses to adapt safety protocols to new challenges, and has a strategic information security plan, which seeks to keep the Institution at the cutting edge of information protection, in accordance with the best market standards . 10

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 4 . COVID - 19 : CaixaBank's response to the emergency and contribution to recovery CaixaBank has been given the Euromoney award 'Excellence in Leadership in Western Europe 2020', due to its social commitment in its response to the COVID - 19 crisis 4 . 1 Support to customers and suppliers The CaixaBank Group wants to be a key part in the contribution to society's well - being, particularly among the most vulnerable groups, and to help ensure that the recovery of the Spanish and Portuguese economies is as quick as possible . To do this, a range of measures have been implemented, and products with conditions adapted to the current context have been developed, taking on the impact that these decisions can have on the growth and profit generation . # WITH OUR FAMILIES #Moratoriums : in Spain, two types of moratoriums have been put into place, adapted to the current situation ; (i) a government - approved mortgage moratorium due to the coronavirus, which offers a deferral of three months of principal and interests (it can also be applied to personal loans for the same duration) ; (ii) a mortgage moratorium, implemented by the majority of banks in the country, with a period of up to twelve months' deferral (and up to six months for personal loans), capital only . In Portugal, customers who meet accessibility criteria were also offered moratoriums for capital or capital and interests, both for mortgages, initially for the period up to 30 September but later in June extended to 31 March 2021 , and personal loans, with a period of up to twelve months . Section 6 . Income statement and financial information shows extended details on these measures . #ICO rents : after the agreement with the ICO, a new line of financing has been set up for tenants in a situation of financial vulnerability, who cannot pay their rent as a result of COVID - 19 . These are ICO - backed loans for customers and non - customers who need help to pay their rent for six months . #FamilyMicrocredits : access to family microcredits to holders with joint income of less than € 19 , 300 (previously € 17 , 200 ) . This figure corresponds to the result of multiplying the Public Index of Multiple Purpose Income (IPREM) by 3 . #Cancellation of own property rentals : during the months of April, May and June 2020 , CaixaBank wrote off 100 % of the rent of its properties, and 50 % in July, in case the tenant, or a member of their family unit, had their income decreased (unemployment, reduced working hours, business closure or income reduction of more than 40 % ) . Approximately 4 , 600 tenants benefited from this measure . #Coverage of insurance in case of a pandemic : all our insurance products have continued to offer coverage, even if derived from the pandemic (COVID - 19 ) (not applying the pandemic exclusion), in order to guarantee the best protection to our customers . In collaboration with Allianz, Banco BPI offered all its customers a phone line for medical consultations, available 24 hours a day . 11

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 # WITH OUR BUSINESSES # WITH OUR SELF - EMPLOYED & SMES #Loans to companies : A priority of ours is to facilitate granting loans and advances so that they go where they are needed, in coordination with the state guarantee schemes established by the authorities . CaixaBank has launched a range of funding lines for the self - employed and SMEs, available for those who need new financing, as well as the ICO line driven by the Government to help businesses affected by the COVID - 19 crisis . In Portugal, businesses who meet accessibility criteria were offered moratoriums for capital or capital and interest, initially for the period up to 30 September but later, in June, extended to 31 March 2021 . BPI has also promoted the placement of lines of credit with a government guarantee, created in response to COVID - 19 . To speed up access to these government - backed lines of credit, BPI created a simplified line that allows for 20 % of funds to be advanced, subject to analysis and approval by the Bank . Section 6 . Income statement and financial information shows extended details on these measures . CaixaBank has also decided to maintain access to working capital financing for shops and the self - employed, despite their potential loss of turnover, and shortcomings have been also offered in the area of rental of capital goods and vehicle renting quotas . As part of its measures to support small businesses, CaixaBank has also subsidised POS terminal fees and launched a new e - commerce technological solution to help small merchants to boost their online sales . In Portugal, previously contracted lines of credit have been maintained up to 30 September 2020 , without changing the interest rate . To support shops, BPI removed the minimum commission on POS terminal transactions, and made POS commissions and monthly fees exempt for establishments that temporarily closed as a result of the pandemic . #FEI - COVID 19 Business Loan : self - employed workers and micro - enterprises has been offered a new specific line to attend to working capital needs derived from the crisis : FEI - COVID 19 Business Loan . This line has been carried out thanks to the European Commission sub - programme COSME COVID 19 , and offers a line of loans of € 310 MM for all businesses that have liquidity problems, and which cannot access an ICO line or need to complement it . The maximum amount of the loan is € 50 , 000 , and allows applicants to request a principal grace period of up to twelve months . The product will be valid until available funds have been exhausted . #Social enterprises — EaSI Loan : aimed at social enterprises whose objective is to generate a positive impact in society, has been a major alternative in these difficult times, particularly for businesses who have been on the frontline as a result of being related to sectors such as healthcare, the fight against poverty and socio - labour inclusion . This line is supported by the European Investment Fund . #Streamlining supplier payments : CaixaBank has made an effort to streamline the payment flow to our suppliers, providing them with key liquidity at these times and thus contributing to the maintenance of their businesses . The measures implemented have been focussed on maximising early payments, without considering maturities, streamlining invoice authorisations and making an effort to settle old invoices . In little more than a month, the amount of invoices pending payment has been reduced by 79 % . # WITH OUR PENSIONERS # WITH THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST #Advance payment of pensions and unemployment benefits : since the declaration of the state of alarm due to the COVID - 19 pandemic, CaixaBank has been one of the first financial institutions to bring forward the payment, by 7 / 10 days, both of unemployment benefits and pensions . There is a two - fold objective to the measure : on the one hand, to support people so they can make their usual payments at the start of the month ; and on the other, to help reduce and spread out the presence of customers in our physical branches . Furthermore, if customers require part of their benefit in cash, they have more days to be able to visit cash machines to make withdrawals . These advances are made automatically, and customers do not need to carry out any procedures to request them . In April and May, BPI also brought forward retirement pension payments . CaixaBank has 2.0 MM customers with pensions set up with direct debit (≈€1,800 MM) 1.6 MM customers with unemployment benefits (≈€1,200 MM) ...and in Portugal 0.2 MM customers with pensions set up with direct debit (≈€141 MM) # WITH THOSE WHO LOOK AFTER US #Protecting healthcare workers : with the aim of contributing to protecting the health of those who are fighting for the whole of society during this pandemic, VidaCaixa has participated in the creation of a sectorial charity fund of more than € 37 MM to protect Spain's healthcare staff . The fund, which includes the collaboration of more than a hundred insurers, allows for the ability to offer free life and hospitalisation insurance to 700 , 000 doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, porters and ambulance and residence staff who are working to fight against the coronavirus . For this, we have contributed a total of € 7 . 3 MM to this initiative . 12

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 4.2 Continue to offer an essential service Maintaining business continuity at all times, whilst offering customers essential financial and insurance services for their day to day, is a priority for CaixaBank, with the maximum safety standards for everybody . CaixaBank also understands financial inclusion, a pillar of its responsible banking model, as the commitment to be close to its customers, serving as an accessible, proximity - based bank . The firm commitment of the last few years to a multi - channel approach has been a determining factor in the sound development of the business in this period of mobility restrictions . Branch network On average, CaixaBank kept around 92 % of its branches open from March to June 2020 . The highest percentages of branch closures were around 15 % , between the third week of March and the second week of April . CaixaBank is still the only banking institution present in 212 Spanish towns ( 229 on 31 December 2019 ) . ATMs were kept 100 % operational, even those in branches that were closed for a period . CaixaBank also joined the entities integrated in the Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA), in order to not charge fees in ATMs throughout the state of alarm . During this period, Banco BPI assured that it would keep 86 % of its branches and 100 % of its business centres open . A universe of 109 main branches that must remain open and fully operational was defined, along with a list of 39 branches deemed high priority . On 30 June 2020 CaixaBank has : in Spain 4,012 branches (4,118 on 31 December 2019) 8,982 ATMs (9,111 on 31 December 2019) in Portugal 448 branches (477 on 31 December 2019) 1,346 ATMs (1,380 on 31 December 2019) Digitisation, key To avoid unnecessary travel and to protect the health of our customers and employees, we have bolstered the use of digital channels, reviewing and reinforcing the main processes, and increasing the capacities of remote services and for contracting new products and services . We can highlight the ability to apply for loan moratoriums through CaixaBankNow, BPI Net and BPI Net Businesses . Another example is the increased number of operations related to VidaCaixa products available through digital channels . During the COVID - 19 crisis, we made it possible to redeem various kinds of pension and insurance plans online, responding to the new temporary redemption contingency for these products if the holder is financial affected by the health crisis . Similarly, partial or total redemptions, not in person, were made possible for savings insurances . The growth recorded during the first half of 2020 has consolidated CaixaBank as the leading financial institution in terms of digital banking in Spain . BPI Net 46.0% digital customers CaixaBank Now 64.7% digital customers (61.7% on 31 December 2019) 32.9% penetration among digital customers in Spain (Comscore) (30% in December 2019) 2.5 MM customers that log in daily to CABK applications in June 2020 (≈1.8 MM average 2019) Furthermore, the contactless limit was increased from twenty to fifty euros, in order for users not to have to enter their PIN and avoiding contact with physical surfaces. 13

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Customer Contact Centre (CCC) The CCC services manages consultations, requests, suggestions and dissatisfaction among customers and non - customers over the phone, in writing (chat, WhatsApp, email and letters), and through interactions on social media (Twitter) . During the exceptional situation provoked by COVID - 19 , the remote contact services that the Group offers to its customers have been particularly relevant . CaixaBank has reinforced these services, increasing the number of agents and re - assigning resources, in order to tackle the increased demand of April, May and June 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 . The online assistants that CaixaBank has developed in recent years to automatically respond to customer queries (bots) have been a determining factor in facing these demand increases, making the service better and more flexible . 55 % of contacts have been attended to by virtual assistants ( 2 , 692 , 567 contacts assisted by bots) . 4,886,803 contacts received, January - June 2020 (3,100,880 throughout the whole of 2019) Of these contacts, 66 , 982 are related to COVID - 19 . Of these queries, we can highlight those regarding moratorium questions ( 70 % ), availability of branches ( 16 % ) and pensions or unemployment payments ( 6 % ), among others . Focus on cybersecurity The situation derived from COVID - 19 has made CaixaBank prioritise certain aspects in the field of cybersecurity, including : ▪ Responding to mass remote work needs, adapting security levels to new requirements and with an intensive use of collaborative tools . ▪ Improving monitoring and protection controls with respect to phishing campaigns (malicious emails) related to COVID - 19 , which has been a topic used by external attackers to compromise the security of business systems around the world . ▪ Adapting security controls to mitigate the impact of the increase in malware infecting customer computers, with a view to commit fraud, particularly RAT (Remote Access Trojan) malware, which allows attackers to control customer computers remotely . 14

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 4 . 3 Ac c o un t a b il i t y w i t h t h e s ta ff t h a t make up CaixaBank Health and safety measures CaixaBank is among the businesses whose job positions do not involve a risk of professional exposure to COVID - 19 , which means that spread among employees in the workplace could only happen in exceptional circumstances . The company must adopt preventive measures to avoid and reduce the risk, agreed on and recommended by the health authorities . The Institution has adopted the recommendations established by the Spanish government and the competent health authorities, taking into account the consideration of CaixaBank's activity as essential, according to Royal Decree - Law 10 / 2020 . Prior to adopting preventive measures, the Institution performed a risk assessment specific to COVID - 19 , which concluded that there is a 'low chance of exposure', and drew up a protocol to identify and manage situations that could involve a risk of spread, which was updated according to the criteria of the health authorities . Furthermore, BPI is also represented on the Business Continuity Monitoring Committee, and thus the prevention measures implemented in Portugal are the same. (i) Organisational measures adopted gradually to minimise the workforce's contact with third parties, ensuring that the safety distance is maintained at all times: ▪ Temporary suspension of events, acts and meetings of more than 30 people. ▪ Increased preferential use of video calls and other collaborative tools. ▪ Ban on international travel and national journeys restricted to those that are strictly necessary. ▪ Incorporation of remote work in Corporate and Territorial Services, with the exception of the critical workforce or teams that cannot carry out their work due to technical issues, whilst the branches network is carrying this out partially . ▪ Start and finish times made more flexible in work centres. In particular in the branch network: ▪ The public opening hours are reduced in all branches to 8.30am to 2.30pm. ▪ The capacity of customers allowed into branches is limited ; customers are scattered throughout the day and the amount of time the customer spends in the branches is restricted to the shortest time necessary . ▪ There are vinyl markings on the floor to show the distance limits between customers. ▪ A campaign to install methacrylate screens on the table was carried out, as protection between the customer and the employee, which reaches all customer - facing positions. ▪ Staff avoid sharing work tools and equipment, as well as moving between offices (support team). ▪ In general, cash management is carried out through ATMs. (ii) Hygiene measures aimed at personal cleanliness and cleaning the area and spaces: ▪ Hand sanitiser and paper towels are distributed throughout. ▪ Surfaces with high levels of contact are cleaned more intensely, using cleaning products that follow the suitability criteria indicated by the health authorities, and applying an action protocol to minimise the risk to the person applying the products . ▪ When CaixaBank is informed of a case of COVID - 19 in one of its work centres, it proceeds to disinfect and clean the area . The Joint Prevention Service assesses the suitability of actions carried out and performs an activity resumption report . ▪ With respect to the use of personal protection equipment, the Institution follows the guidelines of the World Health Organisation, established for a scenario of low probability of exposure . Given that we have adopted technical measures to ensure the safety distance ( 2 metres) and protection (campaign to install methacrylate screens), in general, it is not necessary to use masks or gloves, except in certain situations . These measures are adjusted to the decisions and recommendations of the health authorities at all times (iii) Informative measures to employees on the risks they are exposed to as a result of performing their usual tasks in exceptional circumstances, as well as the specific preventive measures they need to apply : ▪ Informative materials available on the corporate intranet have been drawn up, including, among other things, recommendations on hand cleaning, a self - assessment questionnaire on the remote working environment, ergonomic recommendations for working healthily and to prevent psycho - social and emotional prevention . ▪ Elaboration of an obligatory course for the whole workforce on preventive measures to adopt to tackle COVID - 19 , available in the Virtaula online learning platform . ▪ Information is given to customers through informational signs at the entrance to branches, indicating the measures they need to take . They are informed of the ban on entering facilities if they have symptoms compatible with COVID - 19 , or if they have had contact with anyone who has tested positive, and they are reminded of the preferential use of digital channels set up to avoid unnecessary travel to branches . 15

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 (iv) Transmission control measures , depending on the circumstances: ▪ People who have symptoms compatible with a potential infection, but are not aware of having had contact with a confirmed case . As a preventive measure, these people must remain in their homes and immediately contact the health services . ▪ People that have been in recent contact with suspected cases . If they do not have compatible symptoms, they can carry out their life normally and monitor their health for 14 days . But if they do have compatible symptoms, they must stay at home and immediately contact the health authorities . ▪ People who have had 'close direct contact' with confirmed cases . These people must stay at home and immediately contact the health services . ▪ Confirmed case of infection with COVID - 19 in a CaixaBank work centre . This circumstance should be reported to the manager or human resources in the vicinity as soon as possible . CaixaBank will follow the measures established in the specific case and inform the health authorities . ▪ Employees belonging to at - risk groups must provisionally stay in their homes working remotely. (v) Monitoring, guidance and employee assistance measures: ▪ Within the CaixaBank workforce there are employees with underlying health conditions that make them particularly sensitive to COVID - 19 . In all these cases, remote working is implemented to reduce the level of exposure due to work . To manage this at - risk group, a digital channel has been set up where employees can send their application to be evaluated and accepted, if relevant, by the Health Surveillance Service . ▪ Medical monitoring by the Health Surveillance Service and the Mutual Insurance Company for staff who have had 'close contact' with confirmed cases or have tested positive themselves, to track the evolution of the employee, guide them and provide medical recommendations . ▪ Medical, psychological and emotional health care to all staff through a medical advisory service and psychological and medical guidance over the phone, free of charge, unlimited and anonymous, to accompany and help to resolve queries or concerns that may arise . Remote work and development of the return to in - person work CaixaBank has incorporated 100 % of the Corporate and Territorial Services workforce into remote working, with the exception of the critical workforce or teams that cannot carry out their work due to technical issues . Meanwhile, this has been carried out partially in the branches network, and the Institution has been adapting itself to the evolution of the pandemic ( 50 % - 75 % - 100 % physical presence) . In the initial phase (mid - March 2020 ), Territorial Management departments, according to their needs and circumstances : ▪ Established shifts in the branches network, so that approximately 50% of the workforce could work remotely (performing tasks via telephone management and digital access). ▪ Authorised recoverable leave days to handle justified situations that hinder the ability to go to the work centre. BPI, during the period of the state of the alarm, also opted for remote working, representing around 90 % of those in Central Services and 53 % of the Commercial Network (figures from late April) . In the commercial network, a weekly shift system was set up in the sales teams, combining remote work with on - site work . Currently, teams are returning to on - site activity . After more than two months since the start of the COVID - 19 health crisis, staff are progressively returning to on - site activity, both in the commercial network and in corporate centres . An internal protocol was drawn up, defining the process of returning to on - site work, gradually and in a flexible way, and with strict observance of occupational risk prevention measures, as always prioritising employees and customers . The protocol is an ongoing document that is being worked on with worker representatives in the field of the Single Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and is subject to the regulatory changes that could occur and the evolution of the health crisis . Corporate buildings and InTouch centres A progressive reincorporation of on - site activity is expected, up until reaching the percentage of reincorporated workforce allowed for by the restrictions and prevention measures, aligned with the indications of the health authorities and defined by CaixaBank on this basis . A prior test procedure is established for employees . If they choose not to take this test, they must fill out a self - declaration . The following access and mobility measures will be implemented in centres : (i) access/departure will be carried out gradually in 30 - minute periods ; (ii) entry/exit points in the building will be limited ; (iii) safety instructions will be installed ; (iv) unnecessary movements will be avoided within the centres ; (v) managers will establish the occupation levels of workplaces and will ensure compliance with distancing measures in force at any time . 16

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Branch network We are working on the progressive, gradual and flexible incorporation of the workforce, always maintaining the recommended technical and organisational measures on protection as an essential element . Capacity will be established based on the situation of each branch, so that the safety distance in force is always maintained . Workplaces must guarantee the protection measures needed to comply with the prevention requirement established by the health authorities and defined by CaixaBank . All public - facing workplaces must be equipped with protective screens, and those that cannot guarantee social distancing measures in place at any time must not be used . Preferably, customers will book an appointment to visit a branch and each employee will organise the visiting schedule in advance . Work - life balance and flexibility Life moments are valued as a distinguishing experience by CaixaBank employees, and in particular we can highlight the Institution's adaptation to personal situations, and the institutional support it provides during the times when it is needed . This perception is caused by the significant number of measures that the Institution makes available to the whole workforce, and which are designed to facilitate work - life balance . Faced with the pandemic, we implemented work - life balance measures in addition to those already in place, applicable from 11 May, subject to the organisational possibilities of the work centre in question and for those employees who have been unable to use their annual leave, having expired . Recoverable paid leave: Up until 30 September, it is possible to request recoverable paid leave, in writing and with due justification, or for full days, and limited to 100 hours . Improvement on the legally established leave for looking after a minor: Exceptionally, until 15 September, the age of minors that gives rise to this leave has increased to 14 . When the child turns 14 , if the need persists, employees must use the other measures in force at any time . Unpaid leave 2020: Until 30 September, due to extraordinary needs related to COVID - 19 , employees can request unpaid leave, subject to approval, of up to 3 months . Holidays 2020: To help achieve work - life balance, holidays in 2020 are not limited to the three periods established by internal regulations . 17

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 4.4 Strengthening the financial soundness of the Institution Modification of the allocation of income from 2019 With a view to accommodate the bank's position to the new environment, in its meeting on 26 March 2020 , the Board of Directors agreed to render the proposal to allocate the income from the financial year ending on 31 December 2019 null and void, which the Board of Directors had proposed on 20 February 2020 , contained in the individual and consolidated income statement of CaixaBank corresponding to the year ending on 31 December 2019 . This proposal included the payment of a dividend of € 0 . 15 gross per share, in line with the CaixaBank Dividend Policy and the 2019 - 2021 Strategic Plan, which forecast the distribution of an amount of cash that was more than 50 % of the consolidated net profit . Within the framework of the measures adopted as a result of the situation created by COVID - 19 , and under an attitude of prudence and social responsibility, the Board of Directors, in the same meeting of 26 March 2020 , agreed to reduce the amount of the dividend from 0 . 15 to 0 . 07 euros per share, representing a payout of 24 . 6 % . The dividend was paid on 15 April, allocated to the profits of 2019 . This is the only shareholder remuneration planned to be charged to 2019 . €0.07 /share Shareholder returns corresponding to 2019 2.5% Dividend yield (of share price on 31.12.19) With respect to the dividend policy in force, consisting in the distribution of a cash dividend of more than 50 % of consolidated net profit, this is exclusively modified for 2020 . The Board of Directors stated its intent to allocate at least an amount higher than 50 % of consolidated net profit to the cash remuneration for future financial years, once the circumstances that led to the modification for 2020 have dissipated . Furthermore, it declared its will to distribute capital surplus above the CET 1 capital adequacy ratio of 12 % , as an extraordinary dividend and/or share buy - back . This extraordinary payout of excess capital will be conditional on the macroeconomic situation in which the Group operates returning to normal and will not take place in any event before 2021 . These decisions were made based on the CaixaBank Group's solid position of capital adequacy and liquidity at 2019 year - end, with a CET 1 capital ratio of 12 . 0 % , which represented a management margin with respect to supervisory requirements of 3 . 25 % , and a position of liquid assets at more than € 89 , 000 million . On 30 June 2020 , CaixaBank continues to have a CET 1 capital ratio of 12 . 3 % and a total amount of liquid assets of € 106 , 609 million . Modification of the capital objectives After considering the new regulatory and supervisory aspects, among others, the impact of the standards laid down in the Capital Requirements Directive V (CRD V) with regard to the composition of the Pillar 2 Requirement (P 2 R) ; the Board agreed to reduce the target CET 1 capital adequacy ratio established in the 2019 - 2021 Strategic Plan to 11 . 5 % for December 2021 , rendering null and void the objective of a CET 1 ratio of 12 % plus a buffer of 1 % , which was allocated to absorb the effects of implementing the Basel IV developments and other regulatory impacts, whose implementation is now estimated to be delayed . Compensation package for Senior Management Following a principle of prudence in variable remuneration, and as an act of co - responsibility between CaixaBank Senior Management and the Institution, the CEO and members of the Steering Committee decided to forego their 2020 variable compensation, both with respect to the annual bonus and their participation in the second cycle of the 2020 Long - Term Incentives Plan . In addition, it has been agreed not to propose the granting of shares in this second cycle of the Long - Term Incentives Plan for the other 78 managers included therein . Increased provisions for credit risk In the first half of 2020 , CaixaBank strengthened its coverage for credit risk, with an extraordinary provision of € 1 , 155 million, anticipating future impacts of COVID - 19 . Profit/(loss) for the year (€) 2 , 0 7 3 , 5 2 1, 1 4 8 To dividends (April 2020) 4 1 8 , 4 4 5 , 3 2 2 To voluntary reserve 1, 6 5 5 , 0 7 5 , 8 2 6 18

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 4.5 Social action Thanks to its capillarity and proximity to people, the CaixaBank branch network is a very efficient medium for detecting needs, thus allowing it to allocate resources from the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation with a large impact on all territories where CaixaBank is present . In this health and social crisis caused by COVID - 19 , CaixaBank has acted quickly, identifying social emergencies at all times and re - assigning resources to contribute to alleviating difficulties among the most vulnerable groups . In the moments when COVID - 19 was most prominent, in our environment, the following actions were carried out : #Decentralised Social Work channelling funds to urgent needs, € 9 . 2 MM to 1 , 682 social actions, including : #NoHomeWithoutFood (activity to help Food Banks) : € 2 . 3 MM collected and € 1 MM contributed by the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation . #New online activities from the "la Caixa" Volunteers Association : more than 400 activities with nearly 1 , 600 volunteers signed up . #More than 192,000 solidarity phone calls have been made to customers over the age of 75. #Distribution of more than 2 , 400 tablets , to more than 700 organisations that take in vulnerable people, in collaboration with Samsung Spain . #ReUtilízame (reuse me) : 14 donations have been made to 13 different organisations by 5 business customers of CaixaBank, who have donated clothing, hygiene material and leisure materials to hospitals . #WithOurTraditions : social communications to accompany our customers in the main traditional holidays taking place differently this year as a result of the pandemic . Banco BPI The collaboration between BPI and the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation have focused their action during this period on responding to the health and social crisis derived from COVID - 19 , conducting the following actions : #Food emergency network : via RTP (Radio and Television of Portugal) association, society was mobilised to support the Food Emergency Network . € 1 . 7 MM were donated . #Donation of 526 tablets : in a joint work with the Ministry of Health, facilitating communication between patients and relatives . #€1.8 MM for innovation projects linked to COVID - 19, assigned via the express CaixaImpulse contest. #Support to develop the Portuguese respirator in the CEiiA - Centre for Engineering and Product Development , with the contribution of € 300 , 000 . #The 'BPI la Caixa' Awards were adapted to support the groups most affected by COVID - 19 , allocated to 5 social organisations, with a total provision of € 3 . 75 MM . #Support to artists with the initiative Portugal #EntraEmCena . The creation of this digital marketplace, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, allows artists to launch ideas and get investment . Other vulnerable groups € 2.0 MM 3 9 9 act i o n s Elderly people € 0.3 MM 79 actions Sanitary equipment and emergencies € 1.3 MM 235 actions Food € 5.6 MM 969 actions 19

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 5. Environmental strategy CaixaBank has joined the Manifesto for sustainable economic recovery . The manifesto aimed at the Social and Economic Reconstruction Committee has been created in the Congress of Deputies, and asks for stimulus policies derived from COVID - 19 to not only be effective from an economic and social perspective, but also to be aligned with sustainability policies and the European Green Deal . The initiative has been promoted by the Spanish Green Growth Group, which CaixaBank is a part of . In the same regard, CaixaBank has joined the Green Recovery Call to Action initiative, promoted by the European Parliament, which seeks to align the economic recovery plans in Europe with the Paris Agreements and a sustainable future . Thus, with the environment being one of CaixaBank's strategic priorities, in the first half of 2020 , we continued to intensively develop the 2019 - 2021 Road Map to advance with the implementation of the bank's environmental strategy . CaixaBank is part of the CDP Leadership category For the sixth consecutive year CaixaBank forms part of the CDP Leadership category (A - ) . This puts it in the top 23 % of the most active banks in terms of the fight against climate change . CDP performs an assessment of internal environmental management ( 70 % ) and environmental risk management ( 30 % ) . Analysis of Climate Change Scenarios Since mid - 2019 , CaixaBank has been collaborating with the second pilot project of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) to implement the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate - related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) in the banking sector (TCFD Banking Pilot Phase II) . Within the framework of this project, and following the methodology proposed by the UNEP FI, CaixaBank is undertaking a climate risk analysis pilot for the most relevant sectors of its credit portfolio, from a perspective of climate transition risk, performing an analysis of qualitative and quantitative scenarios . The qualitative analysis hones in on the sectors of Energy, Transportation and Construction to identify the sectors potentially most affected by transition risk through the study of the main variables, establishing sensitivity heat maps for different time horizons ( 2025 , 2030 and 2040 ), geographies and climate scenarios, taking into account the characteristics of the CaixaBank credit portfolio . The quantitative analysis is conducted for the Energy sector, differentiating between oil & gas and power utilities . We are evaluating how climate transition risk may be reflected in the main financial magnitudes of a sample of businesses from these sectors in the short, medium and long term ( 2025 , 2030 and 2040 ) in the strictest transition scenario, 1 . 5 ƒ C, which limits the increase of the average global temperature to 1 . 5 ƒ C above pre - industrial levels . To do this, the predictions of the REMIND model of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) are used as a basis . This is an IAM (Integrated Assessment Models) model, which integrates climate models with macroeconomic models . The study involves a detailed analysis of the strategies for transitioning towards a low - carbon economy among the various companies of the sample, both through the study of public information and through the engagement process, conducting meetings with the businesses involved to discuss their positions in terms of climate change . The ongoing pilot is the first step in deploying the analysis of scenarios in a recurring way . On the basis of the pilot, the scenario analysis will be extended both to other exposures of the Energy sector and other relevant sectors in terms of climate risks . Furthermore, we will monitor the path of decarbonisation on the basis of the strategic plans of the main companies of the sectors analysed to ensure the resilience of the Institution's strategy . 20

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Environmentally sustainable financing During the first half of 2020, CaixaBank continued to finance environmentally sustainable activities: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Real estate developments with an energy efficiency rating of A or B have been formalised for €574 MM. The Institution participated in financing 12 renewable energy projects for €908 MM. CaixaBank has signed 8 loans with a volume of € 867 MM, whose conditions are attached to ESG indexes conducted by independent entities recognising good sustainability performance among companies . The Company has granted loans for €28 MM in consumer and Agrobank ecofinancing lines. With regard to Green Loans, such as Lead Bank, CaixaBank ranks 2 nd in Europe in terms of volume, at 383 million USD . Similarly, in the field of operations of the Green activity and ESG Loans, according to Refinitiv, in the first half of the year, as the Mandated Lead Arranger, CaixaBank ranked 9 th in the world in terms of number of operations and 12 th for volume, with 18 operations for 1 , 654 million USD . Additionally, in the first half of 2020 , CaixaBank participated in the placement of 5 green bonds for the amount of € 3 , 700 MM (€ 2 , 550 MM in the whole 2019 ) . In this field, we can highlight the signing of the first sustainable factoring agreement in Spain . The operation stands out as it includes sustainability criteria in the pricing policy of this short - term financing method . The inclusion of ESG criteria (environmental, social and governance) means that the factoring conditions will improve according to the sustainability rating of the client company . This evaluation, which is conducted each year by an external consultant, considers the company's behaviour in the environment (GHG emissions, energy consumption, etc . ), the social sphere (relationship with the community and stakeholders) and in terms of governance . In BPI, the total environmentally sustainable financing granted in the first six months amounts to €38 MM.

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Results The attributed earnings are € 205 million in the first half of 2020 , 67 . 0 % less than the same period in 2019 . Core earnings 1 show a slight reduction in the year at € 4 , 064 million ( - 0 . 5 % ), despite the difficult associated with the current economic context . Net interest income fell ( - 2 . 1 % ), and there was a strong evolution of fee and commission income (+ 1 . 5 % ), as well as of income and expenses under the framework of insurance contracts (+ 10 . 5 % ) . In the evolution of Gross income ( - 7 . 4 % ), the following are particularly influential : (i) the reduction of Trading income (in the first half of 2019 , materialisation of fixed income gains) ; (ii) lower income attributed to investee companies as a result of the current economic context . Recurring administrative expenses, depreciation and amortisation have been reduced by 2 . 6 % following intense cost base management, with a reduction greater than the loss of core income . In the second quarter of 2019 , the agreement reached with worker representatives on a compensated termination plan for € 978 million gross was registered . The performance of Losses due to the impairment of financial assets is impacted by the further provisions for credit risk, which includes an extraordinary provisions to anticipate future impacts associated with COVID - 19 for € 1 , 155 million . Other charges to provisions include the allocation of € 109 million associated to pre - retirements . 1 Includes net interest income, fee and commission income, income from the life - risk insurance business, the income resulting from the equity method of SegurCaixa Adeslas and income from investee insurance companies of BPI. Net interest income Net interest income amounts to € 2 , 425 million ( - 2 . 1 % compared with the first half of 2019 ) . In an environment of negative interest rates, this decrease can be attributed to : (i) diminished income from loans and advances due to a reduced rate, affected by the change of structure of the credit portfolio (increase in ICO loans), due to reduced income from consumer credit and the decline in the interest rate curve . This decline of the interest rate has been partially offset by increased volume ; (ii) smaller contribution of the fixed income portfolio due to a reduced average rate, partially mitigated by greater volume . These effects have been partially offset by : (iii) reduction in the cost of credit institutions, which benefited from the measures taken by the ECB in October 2019 (increase in the excess above the cash ratio not penalised with negative rates), and due to increased financing taken with the ECB with better conditions ; (iv) saving in the costs of institutional financing due to a price drop as a result of the curve decline ; (v) slight drop in the cost of retail financing ; (vi) greater contribution of the insurance business . ▪ According to applicable accounting standards, income resulting from the application of negative interest rates should be reported in the appropriate income classification . The heading of financial intermediaries on the assets side incorporates negative interests of financial intermediaries on the liabilities side, whereby income from ECB financing measures are the most significant (TLTRO and MRO) . Conversely, the heading financial intermediaries on the liabilities side shows the negative interest on the balances of financial intermediaries on the assets side . Only the net amount between income and expense for both headings has economic significance . ▪ "Other assets with returns" and "Other funds with cost" relate largely to the Group’s life insurance activity. ▪ The balances of all headings except “Other assets” and “Other funds” correspond to balances with returns/cost . “Other assets” and “Other funds” incorporate balance items that do not have an impact on the Net interest income and on returns and costs that are not assigned to any other item . € millions 1H2020 1H2019 A v e r a g e b a la n ce % rate A v e r a g e b a l a n ce % rate Financial Ins ti tutions 26,463 0.89% 27,730 0.66% Loans and advances (a) 219,580 2.07% 211,798 2.27% Debt securities 41,962 0.66% 37,915 0.97% Other assets with returns 64,003 2.57% 58,341 2.96% Other assets 59,328 64,498 - Total average assets (b) 411,336 1.63% 400,282 1.78% Financial Ins ti tutions 40,337 0.36% 42,362 0.63% Retail cus tomer funds (c) 222,257 0.02% 210,016 0.03% Wholesale marketable debt securities & other 30,152 0.76% 27,719 0.90% Subordinated debt securities 5,400 1.35% 5,400 1.38% Other funds with cost 72,483 1.80% 66,862 2.10% Other funds 40,707 47,923 - Total average funds (d) 411,336 0.45% 400,282 0.53% Customer spread (a - c) 2.05% 2.24% Balance sheet spread (b - d) 1.18% 1.25% 23

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Fees and commissions Fee and commission income amounts to € 1 , 266 million, + 1 . 5 % compared with the first half of 2019 . The decreased economic activity (from the second half of March 2020 onwards) and the impact of the markets influence their evolution . In the evolution of recurring bank fees ( - 4 . 6 % compared with the first half of 2019 ), essentially this is a question of lower fees from payment methods, given that the other concepts of fee and commission income have shown strong resistance to reduced economic activity . Positive behaviour in the first half of the year, specifically in Q 2 2020 , of non - recurring fees from investment banking, mitigates the aforementioned diminishment . Thus, total banking fees have increased 0 . 7 % year - on - year . Fees from the sale of insurance products have decreased since 2019 ( - 11 . 3 % ), primarily due to reduced commercial activity . Fee and commission income from investment funds, portfolios and SICAVs show year - on - year growth of 4 . 3 % , despite the volatility of the markets in 2020 . Fees for managing pension plans have also grown 2 . 6 % compared with the same period last year, basically due to an increase in average net assets . The positive evolution of Unit Link fees compared with the first half of 2019 (+ 20 . 8 % ) is essentially due to the greater volume managed, despite the market drop . Administration and amortisation expenses The year - on - year evolution of recurring administrative expenses, depreciation and amortisation ( - 2 . 6 % ) includes the management of the cost base . Personnel expenses have fallen by 4 . 6 % , following savings associated to the 2019 labour agreement and 2020 pre - retirements 1 , among other things, offsetting natural growth factors . The increase in depreciation and amortisation (+ 4 . 4 % ) incorporates the effort to invest in projects to transform the institution throughout last year . The effort to reduce costs, with a year - on - year reduction of 2 . 6 % , greater than the loss of core income ( - 0 . 5 % ), impacted by the current context . 1 As of 1 April 2020, effective departure of employees related with the retirement agreement Losses due to the impairment of financial assets Losses due to the impairment of financial assets amount to - € 1 , 334 million ( - € 204 million in the first half of 2019 ) . In the first half of 2020 the Group has changed the macroeconomic scenarios and the weighting established for each scenario employed in the estimate of expected loss due to credit risk . For this purpose, internal economic projection scenarios based on the impact of the Covid - 19 health crisis on the economy and different levels of severity have been used . Combining scenarios allows reducing the uncertainty of projections in the current context, although these provisions will be updated in coming quarters based on new available information . As a result, a provision was recorded for credit risk at € 1 , 155 million, € 755 million of which was allocated to the second quarter following a review of the scenarios . In this second quarter the weight provided to macroeconomic projections with a lesser contextual bias was discarded . The cost of risk ( 12 months) is 0 . 61 % and the cost of risk of the half of the year, annualised, is 1 . 06 % . € millions 1H2020 1H2019 Banking services, securities and other fees 725 719 of which: recurring (transaction processing, risk activities, deposit management, payment methods) 625 654 of which: non - recurring (investment banking) 100 65 Insurance sales 97 110 Investment funds, portfolios and SICAVs 268 257 Pension plans 107 105 Unit Linked and Flexible Investment Life (the managed part) 69 57 Net fees and commission income 1,266 1,248 € millions 1H2020 1H2019 Gross income 4,117 4,445 Staff expenses (1,454) (1,524) General expenses (619) (624) Depreciation and amortisation (272) (260) Recurring administrative expenses, depreciation and amortisation (2,345) (2,408) Extraordinary expenses (978) 24

 

 

Interim Consolidated Management Report January – June 2020 Balance sheet The operating expenses of these business segments include both direct and indirect costs, which are assigned according to internal distribution methods . During 2020 , the allocation of capital to the Investments business has been adapted to the Group's new capital objective to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1 ) regulatory ratio of 11 . 5 % ( 12 % in 2019 ), and considers both the consumption of equity for risk - weighted assets at 11 . 5 % and the applicable deductions . The allocation of capital to BPI is at sub - consolidated level, i . e . taking into account the subsidiary's own funds . The capital consumed in BPI by the investees allocated to the investment business is allocated consistently to this business . The difference between the Group’s total shareholders' equity and the capital assigned to the other businesses is attributed to the banking and insurance business, which includes the Group’s corporate centre . Customer funds Customer funds amount to € 400 , 675 million on 30 June 2020 (+ 4 . 3 % in the year) . On - balance sheet funds amount to € 294 , 288 million (+ 6 . 1 % in the year), including : ▪ ▪ ▪ Growth of demand deposits up to € 209 , 341 million . Its evolution (+ 10 . 4 % ) was down to the strength of the franchise in a context in which families and businesses have managed their liquidity needs, and the usual seasonal effect of double salary payments in the second quarter of each year . Term deposits are at € 25 , 581 million ( - 11 . 7 % ) . Their performance continues to be marked by the reduction of deposits against a backdrop of rock - bottom interest rates on renewal of maturities . The increase of liabilities under insurance contracts 2 in the year ( 0 . 4 % ) reflects the progressive recovery of the market in the second quarter in terms of the valuation of the Unit Links, whereby the positive net subscriptions both in the Unit Links and the rest of the insurance products throughout the six - month period is notable . Assets under management stand at € 98 , 573 million . Its decrease over the year ( - 3 . 7 % ) is determined, practically in its entirety, by the fall in the markets recorded in the first quarter and its partial recovery in the second . The assets managed in investment funds, portfolios and SICAVs stand at € 65 , 619 million (+ 3 . 8 % in the year) . Pension plans stand at € 32 , 954 million ( - 2 . 3 % over the year) . Other accounts mainly includes temporary funds associated with transfers and collections, whose progress in the second quarter is due, among other reasons, to the collection of the income tax campaign coinciding with the end of the quarter . 1.

Loans for home purchases ( - 1 . 9 % over the year) continue to be marked by the deleveraging of families, in line with the trend of previous quarters, accented by the reduction in mortgages as a result of the situation of recent months . Loans and advances to individuals – other purposes has increased by 4 . 1 % in the year . In the second quarter of 2020 there was growth of 5 . 8 % , among other factors, due to the granting of financing to the self - employed with a government guarantee (ICO) for the amount of € 944 million and the advance double payment of pensions in June . The decline in consumer credit ( - 2 . 8 % in the first half of 2020 ) can be explained by the restraint in consumerism during the state of alarm, despite the strong commercial activity during the first months of the year and the signs of recovery in June following the start of the de - escalation period . Business financing grew 15 . 9 % in the year . At the end of Q 1 2020 there was significant growth in response to the demand for loans and advances, in a context in which businesses anticipated their liquidity needs for subsequent quarters .
