We always favour long-term sustainable outcomes over short-term solutions. This is a key pillar of our new plan, Team 23, which will deliver €16bn of value creation.
Jean Pierre Mustier Chief Executive Officer
UniCredit S.p.A.
Dear Shareholders,2019 was a very important milestone for UniCredit, although tinged with sadness for all of us in the Group. Our chairman Fabrizio Saccomanni, who was integral to the success of the Group, suddenly passed away this summer. Fabrizio was a friend of great intelligence and humanity, highly competent with a fi ne sense of culture and wit. His premature death was a great loss for us all and he is much missed. In September Cesare Bisoni was elected chairman and I am extremely grateful to him for leading the continuing constructive work of the board.
Chief ExecutiveOfficer's message
UniCreditBank•2019AnnualReport 5
We successfully concluded our three year strategic plan, Transform 2019, launched in 2016, exceeding many of our initial targets. This success is thanks to the drive and unwavering commitment from all our team members and the support you, our shareholders, have shown us throughout the plan. This is a great achievement and I am proud of the results and the truly transformative work that has been done. To share our success and show appreciation to our shareholders, we are pleased to propose an increased capital distribution for 2019, returning 40 per cent – 30 per cent as a cash dividend and 10 per cent through a proposed share buyback. This is double the target we set ourselves in 2016. We have shown that, no matter what, at UniCredit we say what we do and do what we say. We will apply the same mindset and dedication to our new plan, Team 23.
Although Transform 2019 was based on conservative assumptions, there were some challenges faced by the financial services sector over the past few years that could not have been foreseen. Headwinds from unexpected geopolitical tensions, macroeconomic volatility and higher regulatory pressure added to an already testing environment.
At UniCredit, we took a series of decisive actions to counter these unforeseen events, enabling us to successfully execute our business strategy, delivering on our key targets.
• Acceleration of Non Core run-off• BTP portfolio reduction• Intragroup exposure decrease
• Further cost reduction vs initial 2019 target
• Trasparent disclosure of regulatory impacts• Disposal of non-strategic assets*

Transform 2019: a strategic plan delivered as promisedTransform 2019 was about restructuring and reshaping the Group, with an emphasis on strengthening capital and improving asset quality. We also strengthened our corporate governance in line with best-in-class European companies. We are the only large listed Italian company where the board of directors presents its own list of candidates. We also lifted voting restrictions and converted savings shares into common shares.
Our hard work was acknowledged by the ECB that, at the end of 2019, lowered our SREP pillar 2 requirement by a further 25 basis points, to 175. This is 75 basis points lower than in 2016, an achievement we are very proud of and another recognition of the outstanding work done by the team over these last three years.
Gross NPEs down by more than €50bn since 2015, to
€25bnwith an end 2019Gross NPE ratio of 5.0 per cent and a Net NPE ratio 1.8 per cent

UniCreditBank•2019AnnualReport 7
While Transform 2019 represented a strong cost efficiency and de-risking effort, Team 23 focuses on strengthening and growing our customer base. All our key strategic initiatives focus on customer experience, which we will monitor precisely while making sure we increase our process optimisation. We will also continue to manage the business with tight cost discipline, focusing on high assetquality and ensuring we maintain a very strong capital level at all times. We work on this from a po-sition of strength, thanks to Transform 2019. We will deliver a recurring dividend with a mix of cash and share buybacks.

Environment
Every team member of UniCredit is committed to protect the environment: the entire UniCredit team was involved in “Climate day” on Friday September 20th, submitting more than 1,200 new ideas on what UniCredit can do concretely. All these suggestions will be implemented, under the leadership of the Group “millennial board”, made of 10 millennial team members, who bring a tremendous energy and vision to our Group to “Do the right thing!”. We are committed to reducing our direct environmental impact by further cutting greenhouse gas emissions. By 2023 all electricity consumption in Western Europe will come from renewable energy sources, by when we will also remove all single-use plastic from all our headquarters. We are working to make an ever bigger difference through our indirect emissions, partnering with our customers in the shift to a low carbon economy. As already announced, we will fully exit thermal coal mining projects by 2023 and not fi nance any new projects in thermal coal mining or coal fi red power generation. We will increase our renewable energy sector exposure, granting more energy effi ciency loans to our customers.
Social
We have committed € 1 billion to Social Impact Banking (SIB) initiatives throughout the Group between now and end 2023. This builds on our success in Italy, where we have already disbursed over 100 million euros. The programme is now being rolled out in 10 more markets. Art4Future is supporting SIB with the sale of a limited number of expensive pieces to provide the capital to extend more social loans and buy art pieces of young artists from our different countries. In addition, we will continue to promote culture through important associations and our UniCredit Foundation will carry on addressing important social needs, while supporting study and research.
Governance
All companies looking to grow and thrive must also focus on diversity and inclusion. Different perspectives help improve processes and behaviours, bringing more sustainable organisations. Creating a positive and inclusive workplace is key to innovation and growth. This is why UniCredit is working on different initiatives to ensure diversity and inclusion is at the forefront throughout the Group, to increase the active participation by women and minorities at all levels of the bank.

UniCredit clearly shows that pan European banking is the future for our industry to support the growth of our clients, and of Europe. We are passionate Europeans, "One Bank, One UniCredit" across all our countries, combining central support and local excellence.
With Transform 2019, we have shown we always favour long-term sustainable outcomes over short-term solutions, and this is also one of the key pillars of Team 23.

16 2019AnnualReport•UniCreditBank
The year 2019 was one of the most successful years ever. We took advantage of interesting business opportunities on the market and achieved excellent business results.
Jakub Dusílek Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s.
Chairman’sStatement
Dear Shareholders, Ladies, and Gentlemen,Let us take a look together in this 2019 Annual Report at the past year, which has been exceptional and very successful for me personally as well as for our Bank. UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s., is part of the pan-European UniCredit banking group, which operates directly in 14 markets, includ-ing the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where we are one of the leading banks in both markets. The trust
UniCreditBank•2019AnnualReport 17
shown to us by our clients, as much as the provision of simple, innovative products and services, is a key part of our DNA, which was also the case last year.
Economic growth experienced a slight slowdown
But let us first look back at the overall economic situation. Last year, economic growth continued, although with signs of slowdown, and the financial sector in the Czech Republic and Slovakia was par-tially affected by this slowdown. Lending in both countries continued to grow, but the growth dynamics decelerated slightly, especially in the second half of the year. As regards corporate loans, the decline in demand was associated with a weakening of investment activity; as regards loans to households, the previous tightening of regulatory rules was responsible for weaker growth. Retail lending dynamics in Slovakia remained slightly ahead of the Czech Republic.
UniCredit Bank reported dynamic growth
From the perspective of our Bank, 2019 has been one of the most successful years ever. We took advan-tage of attractive business opportunities on the market to achieve excellent business results. At the same time, we defended our leading positions in UniCredit Group in the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
With a record profit of CZK 10.1 billion, which represents a 13.0% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, we successfully accomplished the Transform 2019 Group programme. The increasing volume of client transactions, consistent management of the cost of credit risk, optimisation of operating costs and, last but not least, management of the bank’s balance sheet structure particularly contributed to the double-digit increase. Loans to clients reported a 7.0 % year-on-year growth and deposits from cli-ents increased by 10.7 % in 2019.
In the Retail Division, we place emphasis on the quality of our services and products, as well as on cli-ent satisfaction. The key to growth in retail banking has been simple products and regular innovations in our offer, including the introduction of the Apple Pay and Google Pay mobile wallets. The volume of lending rose, with mortgages exceeding the year-on-year growth of 9 % and 7 % as regards consumer credit.
In 2019, the Bank continued to fulfil its long-term strategic objectives. As regards corporate and invest-ment banking, these objectives are in line with the confirmation of our position as a key player in the segment of financing large multinational and national corporations while also focusing on increasing market share. We witnessed another very successful year in the key SME segment. In the segment of international enterprises, we achieved a double-digit growth rate in revenues and volume of loans granted.
Another of the Bank’s long-term strategic goals is the constant improvement of customer experience and the strengthening of the Bank’s leadership in the Czech and Slovak market. We are on track to meet this goal by focusing on clients’ needs, further streamlining and the digitisation of internal processes.
We are a leader in providing sophisticated and individual solutions and also maintained this position in the area of real estate development project financing. The Bank also reported a very successful year in the field of structured and acquisition financing through the conclusion of several large and complex transactions.
The very successful cooperation with UniCredit Leasing in the Czech Republic and Slovakia continued, with a record volume of intermediated loans in the Corporate and Investment Banking Division.
The offer of factoring products to Bank clients was fully enforced and several new products and services were developed for this purpose, such as reverse factoring or consultancy in the area of managing our clients’ working capital.
18 2019AnnualReport•UniCreditBank
Product simplicity and growth
We want to continue being a simple and universal bank for our clients. Therefore, 2020 will primarily be a year of continued digitisation and further simplification of processes and product offers for us. We want our clients across segments to continue to have full confidence in the products and services that help them succeed in their personal financial lives and businesses in the long run.
Prestigious awards for UniCredit Bank
The enduring quality of our banking products and services, valued by our clients and partners, is evi-denced by the number of annual awards at home and abroad. We confirmed our leading position in cor-porate banking by defending our position as award-holder for best corporate bank in the Czech Republic, which is given by the magazine Global Banking & Finance. At the same time, we won first place in the Finparáda competition in the Mortgages category and second place for the PRESTO Loan – Loan Transfer product. We are also the best private bank according to Global Finance. Euromoney’s Trade Finance award was also a prestigious accomplishment.
Helping where it makes sense
At UniCredit Bank, we pride ourselves on our long-term support for socially responsible activities, educa-tion, the arts and sports. Thanks to the Social Impact Banking initiative, we can help wherever it matters through available funding for municipalities, charitable and non-profit organisations, micro-credit for start-up entrepreneurs, as well as support for financial education and volunteering.
We care about our clients and the environment in which they live, finding joy and moments in life to share with their loved ones, families and friends. That is why we have decided to fulfil their biggest wish through the “Záleží nám na tom (We Care)” project.
In cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Italy, we organised educational sailing trips on the Mediterranean Sea for disadvantaged children and children with cancer as part of the project “On Board with Nave Italia”.
We are a partner of Poradna při finanční tísni (Debt Advisory Centre) and help people avoid financial constraints. We actively support the improvement of gender equality in the financial services sector and continue to be a proud partner of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and the prestigious RunCzech series of running events.
Thank you for your trust
The long-term trust shown by you, UniCredit Bank’s clients, helps us to achieve excellent economic results, which we sincerely appreciate. We would like to extend our special thanks to UniCredit Bank’s employees, who are a key pillar of our Bank. Your efforts throughout the year are an acknowledgement as well as an obligation to us in the upcoming years.

•Propertiesusedinbusiness(ruledbyIAS16“Property,plantandequipment”)beingreclassifiedfromthecostmodeltotherevaluationmodelforthemeasurementsubsequenttoinitialrecognition.
ThisdecisionwasdrivenbythedecisionoftheultimateparentcompanyUniCreditS.p.A.madebyitsBoardofDirectorsduringameetingheldon2December2019.
TheBankbelievesthatmeasuringrealestateassetsatfairvalues(insteadofatcost)providesmorereliableandrelevantinformationaboutBank’sfinancialpositionandeconomicresultinlinewiththeprovisionsofIAS8“Accountingpolicies,ChangesinAccountingEstimatesandErrors”.
TheBankbelievesthatthechangeinthemeasurementofpropertieswillprovideamoreaccuraterepresentationofthefinancialposition,asfairvalueswillreflecttheincreaseinthevalueoftheproperties,whichtheBankexpectstooccurasaresultoftheenhancementofthepropertieswithaviewtopotentialdisposaloftheproperties.In2019,UniCreditGroupadoptedanewstrategyofmanagingitsrealestateportfoliowhichitwillactivelyseektooptimiseinthelightofchangingmarketcircumstancesandchangestoitsoperationalmodels.TheBankexpectstorealisevaluefromaportionoftheportfoliooverthemediumtermthroughtargeteddisposals.

(i) Credit Risk Management at the Level of Individual Customers
Corporate customersCreditriskatthelevelofindividualcustomersismanagedbyanalysingcustomers’financialhealthanddeterminingmaximumcreditriskexposure(creditlimit).Analysisisfocusedonthecustomers’competitivepositionintherelevantmarket,aratingoftheirfinancialstatements,predictionoffutureliquidity,etc.Theresultofthisanalysisis,interalia,aratingthatreflectstheprobabilityofclientdefaultandtakesintoaccountquantitative,qualitativeandbehaviouralfactors.Analysingthefinancialpositionandsettingthelimitsforcreditexposureandratingisundertakenpriortothegrantingofaloan.Subsequentlytheratingisreviewedandcreditworthinessisreassessedatleastannually.
Theinternalratingsystemcomprises26ratinglevels(1to10adding“+”and“–”tocertainratingclasses,suchas:1+;1;1−;2+;etc).Whenclassifyingcustomers,theBankassesses(inadditiontothenumberofdayspastduewithregardtooverduereceivables,ifany)financialindicatorsrelatedtotheclient(suchasthestructureofandproportionbetweenthestatementoffinancialposition,theincomestatement,andthecashflowstatement),managementquality,ownershipstructure,individualcustomers’marketposition,reportingquality,productionequipment,account-usehistory,etc.Customersindefaultareassignedinternalratingsof8–,9or10.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo the Shareholders of UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s.Having its registered office at: Želetavská 1525/1, 140 92, Prague 4 – Michle
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

In our opinion:
• The accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
• The accompanying separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Act on Auditors, Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council and Auditing Standards of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic, which are International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as amended by the related application guidelines. Our responsibilities under this law and regulation are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Company in accordance with the Act on Auditors and the Code of Ethics adopted by the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter Related audit procedures
Impairment of receivables from clients
(Please refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the details)
At 31 December 2019, gross receivables from clients (hereinafter “receivables”) were CZK 450446 million and CZK 435 927 million for the Group and the Company respectively against which impairment of receivables from clients (hereinafter “impairment”) of CZK 9 686 million and CZK 8 124for the Group and the Company respectively were recorded. The directors exercise significant judgment when determining both when and how much to record as impairment.
The assessment of loan loss provisions for loans to clients requires Bank management to exercise a significant level of judgment, especially with regards to identifying impaired receivables and quantifying loan impairment. To assess the amount of provisions for expected losses, the Bank applies statistical models with input parameters from internal and external sources.
We assessed the adequacy of the methodology used by the Bank to identify loan impairment and calculate provisions for the selected significant loan portfolios.
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls management of the Bank has established over the impairment assessment processes.
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the Bank distinguishes three stages of impairment, where the criteria for classification to individual stages are based on an assessment of the objective characteristics of loans and the relevant debtors and subjective judgments of the Bank.
The assessment of classification to impairment stages includes the combination of relative and absolute factors:
• Relative comparison between the probability of default at the initial recognition of the receivable and at each reporting date,
• Absolute factors such as limits set by related regulations (ie 30 days past due),
• Other factors with internal relevance for the Bank (eg new classifications as forbearance receivables).
Where no repayment difficulties have been identified for a particular receivable, the Bank creates a provision using the statistical model for a homogeneous group of loans (Stage 1 and Stage 2). The expected loan loss provision is calculated using available historical data and anticipated future development determined using macroeconomic indicators.
The statistical model used is based on the probability of default and the estimated amount of the loss given default. Input data for the model and the calculation logic and its comprehensiveness depend on judgment of Bank management.
When determining the provision level for impaired loans (Stage 3):
1) With respect to receivables with exposure of over EUR 1.0 million, Bank management considers the following factors:a) The Bank’s estimated rate of success of
recovering debt;
For receivables regarding which the Bank has not identified any difficulties likely to prevent the full repayment of receivables (Stage 1 and Stage 2), the testing focused on controls related to timely identification of potential difficulties with receivablerepayment and correct classification of receivables to corresponding impairment stages.
Our credit risk experts assessed the amounts of provisions for Stage 1 and Stage 2 and reviewed the adequacy of management judgments as regards the probability of loan default and the estimated amount of loss given default.
For provisions for loan losses at Stage 3, the testing included controls related to creation and period review of watch-lists, regular client creditworthiness review processes, approval of experts’ collateral valuation and management review and approval of the impairment evaluation results.
On a sample of exposures, we evaluated appropriateness of provisioning methodologies and their application. We formed an independent view on the levels of provisions required by examining available external and internal information. This work involved assessing the work performed by experts used by the Bank to value the collateral or to assess the estimates of future cash flows.
For loan receivables with exposure of over EUR 1.0 million we also verified correctness of discounted cash flows calculations applied in deriving the recoverable amount of the loan. Where we determined that a more appropriate assumption or input in provision measurement could be made, we recalculated the provision on that basis and compared the results in order to assess whether there was any indication of error or management bias.
194 2019AnnualReport•UniCreditBank
b) Amount and timing of expected future cash flows;
c) Collateral value.2) With respect to receivables with exposure of less
than EUR 1.0 million the provision is calculated using models based on expected recovery.
The loan loss provisions for expected losses for loans at Stage 1 and Stage 2 represent CZK 1 933 million and CZK 1 549 million for the Group and for the Company respectively. The loan loss provision for impaired loans at Stage 3 represents CZK 7 753 million and CZK 6 575 for the Group and for the Company respectively, out of the total recognised amount of CZK 9 686 million and CZK 8 124 million for the Group and for the Company respectively as at 31 December 2019.
Interest Income and Fee and Commission Income Recognition
(Please refer to Note 1 and Note 2 to the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the details)
For the year ended 31 December 2019 the interest income represents CZK 18 597 million and CZK 17 138 million for the Group and for the Company respectively, and fee and commission income represents CZK 5 387 million and CZK 4 877 million for the Group and for the Company respectively, the main source being loans to customers and payment cards. These transactions are the main contributors to the operating income of the Bank affecting the Bank’s profitability.
While interest income is accrued over the expected life of the financial instrument, the recognition of fee income depends on the nature of the fees as follows:
• Fees that are directly attributable to the financial instrument are recognised over the expected life of such an instrument and are presented as interest income.
• Fees for services provided are recognised when service is provided and are presented as fee and commission income.
• Fees for the execution of an act are recognisedwhen the act has been completed and are presented as fee and commission income.
Revenue recognition specifics, high volume of individually small transactions dependent on data quality of interest and fee inputs and on IT solutions for their recording, resulted in this matter being identified as a key audit matter.
We have tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key internal controls and focused on:
• Inputs on interest/fee related to customer loans and deposits, including authorisation of the changes in the interest rates and fees and authorisation of non-standard interest rates/fees;
• Recording of fee and interest income and management oversight; and
• IT controls relating to access rights and change management of relevant IT applications with theassistance of our IT specialists.
We also performed the following procedures with regard to interest and fee income recognition:
1) We evaluated the accounting treatment applied by the Bank to determine whether the methodology complies with the requirement ofthe relevant accounting standard.
We have focused our testing on verification of the correct classification of:• Fees that are identified as directly
attributable to the financial instrument;• Fees that are not identified as directly
attributable to the financial instrument.•
2) We evaluated the correctness of mathematical formula used for recognising the relevant income over the expected loan life.
We have analysed correctness of the recorded amount of interest income and fee and commission income using substantive analytical tests. These tests included determination of expected volumes of income based on the observed historical development over past years and the actual development of the market, which was compared to the related amount recorded by the Bank.

Other Information in the Annual Report
In compliance with Section 2(b) of the Act on Auditors, the other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and auditor’s report thereon. The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements does not cover the other information. In connection with our audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. In addition, we assess whether the other information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable law or regulation, in particular, whether the other information complies with law or regulation in terms of formal requirements and procedure for preparing the other information in the context of materiality, i.e. whether any non-compliance with these requirements could influence judgments made on the basis of the other information.
Based on the procedures performed, to the extent we are able to assess it, we report that:
• The other information describing the facts that are also presented in the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements is, in all material respects, consistent with the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements; and
• The other information is prepared in compliance with applicable law or regulation.
In addition, our responsibility is to report, based on the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Company obtained in the audit, on whether the other information contains any material misstatement of fact. Based on the procedures we have performed on the other information obtained, we have not identified any material misstatement of fact.
Responsibilities of the Company’s Board of Directors and Supervisory Board for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Group and Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the above law or regulation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
196 2019AnnualReport•UniCreditBank
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and the Company to express an opinion on the Consolidated and SeparateFinancial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Report on Relations between the Controlling and Controlled Entities (the “Report on Relations”)
We have reviewed the factual accuracy of the information included in the accompanying Report on Relations of UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s. for the year ended 31 December 2019 which is includedin this annual report on pages 220 to 227. This Report on Relations is the responsibility of the Company’s Statutory Body. Our responsibility is to express our view on the Report on Relations based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard 56 issued by the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Report on Relations is free of material factual misstatements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company’s personnel and analytical procedures and examination, on a test basis, of the factual accuracy of information, and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit of the Report on Relations and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Nothing has come to our attention based on our review that indicates that the information contained in the Report on Relations of UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s. for the year ended 31 December 2019 contains material factual misstatements.
The Company has decided not to disclose amounts under related party contracts citing business secrecy restrictions.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In compliance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, we provide the following information in our independent auditor’s report, which is required in addition to the requirements of International Standards on Auditing:
Appointment of the Auditor and the Period of Engagement
We were appointed as the auditors of the Company by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 19 March 2019 and our total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals has lasted for 7 years.
Consistence with the Additional Report to the Audit Committee
We confirm that our audit opinion on the financial statements expressed herein is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee of the Company, which we issued on 25 March 2020 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council.
UniCreditBank •2019AnnualReport 197
Provision of Non-audit Services
We declare that no prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council were provided. In addition, there are no other non-audit services which were provided by us to the Company and its controlled undertakings and which have not been disclosed in the annual report.
Non-financial information report
As stated in Section 23 on page 219 of the annual report/notes to the financial statements, the Company does not prepare non-financial information since the relevant information is to be presented in the consolidated annual report or separate report of the consolidating entity. As a result, we do not report on the preparation of non-financial information.
