    HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. Interim Report and Accounts 2020 COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT The following is a Company Announcement issued by HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. pursuant to the Listing Rules issued by the Listing Authority. Quote: During a meeting held on the 3 August 2020, the Board of Directors of HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. approved the attached Group and Bank interim condensed financial statements for the six-month financial period commencing 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020. 3 August 2020 2020 Interim Results – Highlights The economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the main driver of the change in our financial performance in the first half of 2020. The resultant increase in expected credit losses contributed to a material fall in reported profit before tax compared with the same period last year in addition to the market turmoil that has impacted our Insurance business. Financial performance (vs 1H19) • Profit before tax down €19.1m to €1.8m due to higher expected credit losses and lower revenue reflecting the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak. • Revenue down 16% largely driven by revaluation losses within the Life Insurance subsidiary as a result of adverse market movements (equity and interest rates). Excluding the insurance subsidiary, revenue declined by 1%. • Expected credit losses increased by €9.7m to €8.7m due to the impact of Covid-19. In 2019 we benefited from a number of releases in the first half of the year. • Costs are 5% below same period in 2019 reflecting strong progress on the strategy announced in 2019.
