A year ago we set our Purpose of empower­ing communities to progress and set out our UniCredit Unlocked strategic plan. The goal of our strategy is to unlock the value inherent in UniCredit via an industrial transformation combined with three financial levers of net rev­enue growth, operational efficiency and capital efficiency.

UniCredit Unlocked

Defining a clear vision and winning strategy

We are deeply embedded in our Communities, helping them to deliver their full potential by acting as an engine of individual and collective growth. Our Clients, spread across the commu­nities of Europe, are at the heart of our strategy - we exist to serve them.

A reliable partner in life is what our People are asking of us. They want an institution they can trust, an environment in which they can flourish as individuals and professionals and a business they feel proud to work for, providing them with the tools to deliver an exceptional service to clients.

We are delivering growing and sustainable returns for our Investors and achieving con­sistently excellent results against clear financial KPIs across our three levers - cost, net revenue and capital.

Our strategy is based on our vision and tailored to our strengths and complemented by an ecosystem built around five industrial levers.

Executing an ambitious industrial plan

LEVERAGING OUR SOLID FOUNDATIONS AND IMPLEMENTING AN INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION: SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS

Our actions are directly connected to our financial KPIs through which we manage the three levers of cost, net revenue and capital. Together, these levers drive RoTE and organic capital generation, giving us the ability to withstand shocks and to deliver sustainable and attractive shareholder distributions. The laser-focused balance of quality top line growth and capital efficiency combined with operational efficiency drive the foundations of our planned distribution It is a virtuous circle and a fundamentally different way of assessing financial performance - different from our peers and very different from the UniCredit of the past.

Laying the foundations to win in an uncertain future

While delivering consistent results quarter after quarter, we have prudently built robust lines of defence in order to prepare for future and potential macroeconomic impacts:

  • portfolio is well-provisioned;
  • forward looking overlays, increased in 4Q, now at €1.8bn. Equals more than 1 year of cost risk (assumed at 30-35bps in UniCredit Unlocked);
  • step change in pre-provision profitability reflecting quality and capital efficiency and operational efficiency;
  • unmatched capital position.

We continue preparing for an uncertain future with pre-emptive actions across all levers.
