Introduction by the Management Board Ladies and gentlemen, dear clients, business partners and shareholders, The year 2020 was severely affected by the unprecedented pan- demic of COVID-19 which had an impact on the entire society. Some industries were hit harder than others, but the overall economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been extensive and will un- doubtedly affect 2021. We faced rising unemployment, reduced con- sumption, spreading inability of both people and companies to settle their financial obligations, worsening supplier-customer relationship, limitations in export and import and, naturally, cutback in tourism. Our Bank had to respond to this situation. Its crisis team has adopted a number of measures to protect the Bank’s stability and the health of our clients and employees. We managed to keep the entire branch network in operation and offer our clients new products and services to help them in this extraordinary situation. The Bank was also flexible in adopting all restrictions decreed by the Czech government in order to prevent the pandemic from spreading further. The COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the arrival of digitisation in the entire financial sector. Clients began to focus on online com- munication with their bank and use all services and applications online. The transformation process, which we had already commenced in 2019, was instrumental in completing several key projects, such as new current account packages which we successfully introduced to our clients together with our new internet and mobile banking. As a result, the number of clients actively using mobile banking has more than doubled. We have strengthened the Bank’s responsible approach to the environment by, for example, launching the gradual transformation of our car fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles. We have also streamlined the Bank’s organisational structure. We learned to work within the online environment and more than 50% of our employees worked from home when needed. We continued to trans- form our performance together with strict cost control which trans- 1 For details on the alternative performance indicators, see Chapter 17. 4 Sberbank CZ Annual Report 2020 3.

We tried our best to help moratorium on deferred loan repayments) in an extremely short them overcome last year’s market crisis and move forward with time and offered our clients discounted loans to help them face the success. Finally, I would also like to thank our employees for all the COVID-19 pandemic consequences. I am really pleased to say that work and effort they have exerted for our clients and for our Bank last year we managed to cope with the crisis which interfered with to make it in 2020. I am very pleased that they went beyond their the entire market and keep our Bank healthy and stable. responsibilities and helped those in need during these difficult times, whether it was helping seniors or children in children’s homes, In 2020, the Bank achieved a net profit after tax of CZK 19 million, engaging in the Movember movement, supporting cancer prevention as it had to create the largest reserves and provisions in its history and treatment or volunteering in the field of environmental care. while its operating revenues lowered. In this annual report, you will see detail information on our business indicators, and I would like to I am convinced that our Bank is well prepared to face the uncer- take this opportunity to first highlight several facts.

However, despite challenging market conditions and the impact of COVID-19 epidemic, we saw a growing interest in consumer loans and good income from insurance and investments commissions, especially in the last quarter of 2020. Growth in the corporate segment was in- fluenced by the fact that some of the frequently funded industries were hit hard last year. As a result, net income from financial oper- ations before the creation of reserves and provisions amounted to CZK 2.045 billion, i.e. 21% lower year-on-year. The balance sheet total increased by 7% to CZK 89.4 billion, the total volume of client deposits grew by 12% to CZK 78.1 billion, while the total volume of loans to clients slightly decreased to CZK 61.3 billion. Thanks to several cost- saving measures, our administrative costs further decreased by CZK 110 million to CZK 1,376 million. By strict risk monitoring during uncertain circumstances of last year, the Bank maintained a low share of non-performing loans in the unpredictable conditions of last year, reaching 2.14%. The capital adequacy ratio reached the level of 17.24%, which is well above the Dušan Baran threshold required by the regulator and allows further development Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of the Bank.1 1 For details on the alternative performance indicators, see Chapter 17. 5 Sberbank CZ Annual Report 2020 4.
