General Information Financial Information and Risk Management Review Information on Management and Corporate Governance Principles EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The bank portfolio consists of large companies and financial institutions that are small in number but have a high volume of loan demand. Due to the low number of observations involving bank internal default data, a global rating methodology based on publicly published global methodology documents is used instead of a model based on internal data. The methodology is based on both a financial assessment based on information from the client’s balance sheets and a qualitative assessment, including questions such as management strategy and structure. This assessment is the base module, which is the basis of the Bank’s rating methodology. Then, subsequent adjustment factors such as the parental support, government support, early warning signals and country ceiling are applied in the form of grade increases/decreases on the base module in a modular structure. Validation studies were conducted on the discrimination power and reliability of the model based on the one-year usage period data, and it was concluded that it performed at the expected level. In its ECL models, the Bank relies on a broad range of forward looking information as economic inputs, such as gross domestic product and Turkish Banking Sector NPL rates. The inputs and models used for calculating ECLs may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays are occasionally made as temporary adjustments when such differences are significantly material. Different scenarios have been applied on macro-economic models in line with management expectations. For LGD ratios, conversion rates of the collaterals received for the financial asset are taken into consideration in the framework of certain coefficients considering the general banking practices and the information published by Basel and BRSA. Personal or corporate warranties received for collaterals are not taken into account in LGD ratio calculation. For EAD to be calculated for the risks that are monitored in the off-balance sheet, the Bank includes to the calculation of the relevant risks within the framework of a credit conversion factor (CCF) application. CCF ratio applied as 100% for cash supply non cash loans and 50% for the rest. With the respect of criteria that mentioned in above paragraph, the expected credit loss provision (ECL), which is ultimately calculated for a financial asset, is calculated as follows: ECL = PD * LGD * EAD * (if any CCF) Expected credit loss calculation is calculated over financial assets that has counterparty risk which in scope of IFRS 9 and off- balance sheet risks that are present each reporting period. The ratings of financial assets subject to PD calculations are reviewed and updated annually (unless there is a significant improvement in the credit risk of the counterparty). In the case of delay over 30 days, which is the main criteria for transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2, the rating of financial asset is revised. For transitions between stages, certain criteria have been defined by taking into account the relevant regulations/circulars of the BRSA and the notifications issued. In case of following criteria; if the principal or interest/commission collection delays exceed 30 days or the credit rating falls down to two grades relative to the country rating, or restructuring of loan due to debtor has difficulty on payment, the transition criteria from Stage 1 to Stage 2 is applied. The fact that the principal and interest/commission collection delays of 90 days or more is also applied for the transition to Stage 3. In addition, in case the Bank management considers that it is appropriate, the Bank will be able to transition between stages whether not to meet with criteria. The expected loss provision for the assets in Stage 1 are presented under the “12 Months Expected Credit Losses (Stage 1), expected loss provision for the assets in Stage 2 are presented under the “Significant Increase in Credit Risk” and expected loss provision for financial assets in Stage 3 are followed as “Credit-Impaired (Stage 3)”. Due to the deterioration in the credit risk between stages, there may be downgrade transitions as well as improvements between stages. In accordance with the internal policies, TFRS 9 models are reviewed once a year. 137 PASHA Bank 2022 Annual Report Notes to Unconsolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2022 Pasha Yatırım Bankası A.Ş.
