PPF Group’s reach spans from Central and Eastern Europe to Russia, the USA and across Asia. As at 31 December 2016, PPF Group owns assets amounting to BEUR 27. PPF Group N.V., with its registered office in Amsterdam, is the key holding company of the Group that makes the strategic decisions governing the entire Group’s activity. The company owns a 88.62% interest in Home Credit B.V., the holding company for the Home Credit Group companies, providing a global consumer finance business, and Air Bank a.s. The Group’s focus in corporate banking is represented by PPF banka a.s., in which the Group holds a 92.96% share. It also owns 100% of PPF Real Estate Holding B.V., a Group company specialised in real estate projects. In January 2014 the Group acquired a 65.93% shareholding in Telefónica Czech Republic a.s. (subsequently renamed to O2 Czech Republic), a Czech publicly listed telecommunication company operating also in the Slovak Republic. In April 2015, the Annual General Meeting of O2 Czech Republic (“O2 CR”) approved the company’s demerger into O2 Czech Republic a.s. and Česká telekomunikační infrastruktura, a.s. (“CETIN”). As of 31 December 2016, the Group holds a 85.4% share in O2 CR and a 100% share in CETIN. Until December 2016, the Group was a 80% shareholder of Eldorado LLC, Russia’s consumer electronic and domestic appliances retailer. Significant events in 2016 January The Group became the sole shareholder of CETIN as a result of a squeeze-out process of minority shareholders. June In June 2016, the Group acquired a 34.58% stake in The Culture Trip Ltd., the UK start-up company dealing with online publishing and book selling. Following the acquisition the Group increased its share to 43.69% through capital contribution. With offices in London, NYC and Tel Aviv and a global 1 hub of editorial contributors hailing from all over the world, Culture Trip is one of the internet’s fastest-growing media start-ups, attracting nearly 6 million monthly readers and 2 million followers on social media around the world. September On 23 September 2016, the Group sold a 3.05% share in Polymetal after which the Group’s effective share in the company fell below 13%. On 30 September 2016, LEAG Holding a.s., an entity jointly controlled by Gemcol Ltd. and Energetický a průmyslový holding, a.s. (“EPH”), acquired a 100% stake in Vattenfall Europe Mining Aktiengesellschaft and Vattenfall Europe Generation which is a German group dealing with the extraction, processing, refining and sale of lignite, and the generation of electricity and heat. The group operates four open pit mines, four power plants and one refining plant. Gemcol Ltd. is an investment vehicle in which the Group is the investor. The group was subsequently renamed to LEAG. From the Group’s perspective, the acquisition of LEAG is considered a long-term financial investment that enables better risk diversification by entering a different industry with the partner which is strong in this type of business. The Group considers its position to be that of a financial investor that will not interfere in the running of the group. December On 8 December 2016, the Group, acting through its subsidiary Facipero Investments Ltd. sold its stake in Eldorado LLC. Eldorado is the Russian retailer of consumer electronic and domestic appliances in which the Group held an 80% effective share. Throughout 2016 the Group invested into a newly incorporated company in the UK, which was authorised to operate as a credit institution in December 2016 by the competent domestic authorities. The bank is jointly regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, and plans to focus on providing clearing and settlement services to non-retail customers as part of its core business model. As of 31 December 2016, the Group holds a 35% share. Financial performance and capital management At the end of 2016 the consolidated shareholders’ equity of PPF Group N.V. amounted to MEUR 6,361 (31 December 2015: MEUR 5,163). The consolidated profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Group for 2016 reached MEUR 1,031 (2015: MEUR 315). As of 30 June 2015, the Group restructured its consumer finance and other banking business represented by Home Credit, Air Bank and PPF banka under the new holding entity PPF Financial Holdings B.V. (“the Subgroup”). The Subgroup became a financial holding company and as such became subject to consolidated prudential requirements based on Regulation No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, with the Czech National Bank as consolidating supervisor. PPF banka was appointed as a responsible reporting entity for this Subgroup. The Group, the Subgroup, and their individually regulated operations complied with all externally imposed capital requirements, liquidity requirements, and leverage requirements throughout the reporting period. 2 Workforce The rounded average number of employees during the year 2016 was 102,000 (2015: 85,000). PPF Group’s operations did not have any significant impact on the environment. Composition of the Board of Directors The size and composition of the Board of Directors and the combined experience and expertise of their members should fit, as closely as possible, the profile and strategy of the company. This aim for the best fit, in combination with the availability of qualifying candidates, has resulted in PPF Group currently having a Board of Directors in which all three members are male. In order to increase gender diversity on the Board of Directors, in accordance with article 2:276 section 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, PPF Group pays close attention to gender diversity in the process of recruiting and appointing new members of the Board of Directors. PPF Group will retain an active and open attitude as regards selecting female candidates. Financial instruments and risk management The Group is exposed to various risks as a result of its activities: liquidity risk, market risks (interest rate risk, equity price risk, currency risk), credit risk and insurance risk. Liquidity risk arises in the general funding of the Group’s activities and in the management of its positions. The Group has access to a diverse funding base. Funds are raised using a broad range of instruments including deposits, other liabilities evidenced by paper, bank loans and shareholders’ equity. All financial instruments and positions are subject to market risk: i.e., the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument more or less valuable. Exposure to market risk is formally managed by buying or selling instruments or entering into offsetting positions in accordance with risk limits or frameworks set by senior management. The Group is subject to credit risk through its trading, lending and investing activities and where it acts as an intermediary on behalf of third parties. The Group’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through the purchase of debt securities and through the provision of loans and advances. Credit risk is managed at the level of the individual Group companies. The Group carries an inventory of capital market instruments to manage those risks. Positions are opened in the money market, foreign exchange markets, debt and credit markets and equity markets based on expectations of future market conditions. As at 31 December 2016 the Group held financial instruments in an amount of MEUR 15,938 (excluding cash and cash equivalents). Of this amount, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounted to MEUR 545, financial assets available for sale MEUR 2,848 and loans and receivables MEUR 12,545. The financial liabilities held by the Group include, in particular, liabilities due to non-banks totalling MEUR 8,373, liabilities due to banks of MEUR 8,111, debt securities issued amounting to MEUR 1,237, subordinated liabilities of MEUR 308 and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss of MEUR 411. The Group holds derivative financial instruments for trading and for risk management purposes: swaps, futures, forwards, options and other similar types of contracts whose value changes in response to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, security prices or price indices. 3 For detailed information on risk management, see Section C of notes to the consolidated financial statements. Description of core business segments and their development in 2016 Home Credit Group The Home Credit B.V. Group is a leading multi-channel provider of consumer finance in Europe and Asia.
