MAJOR SHAREHOLDER Credemholding 76.87% Free float 23.13% CREDITO EMILIANO Company profile: Credem ranks amoung the top 10 largest Italian banking groups; Issuer’s ratings are aligned with, but only one notch below the Sovereign one (S&P’s: BBB-; Moody’s: Baa3; Fitch: BBB+) and in line with the top rated Italian banking groups. Credem’s business model is focused on traditional retail ,along with a special focus on commercial banking and wealth management; more than 20% of total income is related to asset management and brokerage fees. Recent development: In FY2013 net interest income was substantially stable, - 0.4% yoy while significantly up qoq (4.8%); non-interest income was up strongly up (5.2% yoy), driven by banking management fees (+11.5% yoy). The cost-to-income ratio improved to 61.6% (down from 62.2% a year before). Direct deposits from customers (including retail bonds) were up by 2.1% yoy. Lending volume dropped 3.4% yoy, which resulted in a loan-to-deposit ratio of 117.7% (vs. 124.4% per FY2012). NPL stood at 1.6% (vs. 1.3%) with a coverage ratio of 58.2% (vs. 55.4 a year before). Of note is that Credem has strengthened its capital base entirely through group profits, and without any capital increase over the last five years. Core Tier 1 Capital Ratio was at 9.9% (vs. 9.4% a year ago). Total Capital Ratio stood at 13.4%. Outlook: Credem stands out with its defensive profile, good asset quality and superior profitability, even in a difficult macro environment. The bank was one of the few Italian banks which did not record a loss in the years during the financial crisis and even continued distributing divdidends. Credem has strengthened its capital base entirely through profitability, and without any capital increase over the last five years.This confirms that Credem is an outlier in the sector, and we expect the revenue to continue expanding while the asset quality improves even further. Last but not least, the bank is in the process of obtaining the validation in compliance with the Advanced IRB methodology for both its Corporate and Retail portfolios. This is expected to increase the current Group’s Core Tier 1 by 150bps.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS FY2013 RESULTS NII substantially stable Credem has released FY2013 results with a net interest income (NII) substantially C/I ratio at 61.6% stable, -0.4% yoy and significantly up qoq (4.8%); non interest income strongly up (5.2% yoy) driven by banking management fees (+11.5% yoy). Total revenues were up 2.5% while the operating expenses remained broadly unchanged. This lead to a slight improvement in the cost-to-income ratio to 61.6%, down from 62.2% a year before. Loan loss charges However, loan loss charges came in at EUR120m, up from EUR89m in FY2012 and weighed on the bottom weighed on the bottom line, EUR116m (down by 4.4%). Our understanding is that the line rise in the loan loss charges was mainly due to stricter criteria used to recognize and value non-performning loans.
