Depending on the category of classification of financial assets and liabilities to the hierarchy, different methods of fair value valuation are used:
Level 1: Prices quoted on the active markets
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is stated directly at prices quoted (not adjusted) from active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Group classifies to this category financial and equity instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss and available for sale, for which there is an active market and for which the fair value is determined with reference to market value which is a bid price:
- debt securities valued at fixing from Bondspot platform and Bloomberg and Reuters information services,
- debt and equity securities which are traded on regulated market, including the Brokerage House of PKO Bank Polski SA portfolio,
- derivative instruments which are traded on a regulated market.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable market data
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined with use of valuation models where all significant entry data are observable on the market directly (as prices) or indirectly (based on prices). The Group classifies to this category financial instruments for which there is no active market:
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value | Valuation method (technique) | Observable inputs |
Derivative financial instruments - hedging instruments | Valuation of derivatives CIRS, IRS is made in accordance with the discounted future cash flows model. Discounting is based on the yield curves. | Yield curves are built based on market rates, market data of the money market, market transactions of FRA, IRS, basis swap. |
Derivative financial instruments - trade instruments | Valuation of derivatives CIRS, IRS and FRA is made in accordance with the discounted future cash flows model. Discounting is based on the yield curves. Valuation of currency options is made in accordance with specified valuation models for a given type of a currency option. The prices of exotic options embedded in structured products are obtained from the market (they are market prices). | Yield curves are built based on market rates, market data of the money market, market transactions of FRA, IRS, basis swap. Inputs to currency options valuation models are yield curves built based on money market rates, market rate of swap points, volatility levels for specific currency pairs, NBP fixing exchange rates. For the purpose of valuation of exotic options embedded in structured products, market prices of these options are obtained. |
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss - NBP money market bills | Yield curve valuation method | Yield curves for money market bills are built based on market prices, money market data and OIS (overnight index swap) transactions market. |
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss - municipal bonds EUR | Valuation in accordance with an accepted valuation model | Inputs to a valuation model are market rates, market data: money market, IRS transactions market, CDS (credit–default swap) transactions market, volatility of interest rate options market. |
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss - municipal bonds PLN | Valuation in accordance with a yield curve and a risk margin | Yield curves are built based on market rates, money market data, IRS transactions market. |
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss - Treasury bonds UAH | Market approach | Prices quoted on a less active market. |
Investment securities available for sale - municipal bonds | Valuation in accordance with a yield curve and a risk margin | Yield curves are built based on market rates, money market data, IRS transactions market. |
Investment securities available for sale - corporate bonds | Valuation in accordance with a yield curve and a risk margin | Yield curves are built based on market rates, money market data, IRS transactions market. |
Investment securities available for sale - Ukrainian Treasury bonds UAH, USD | Market approach | Prices quoted on a less active market. |
Investment securities available for sale - corporate bonds UAH | Market approach | Prices quoted on a less active market. |
Debt securities in issue - financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss | Valuation in accordance with a yield curve and the prices of exotic options embedded in these securities | Yield curves are built based on market rates, money market data, IRS transactions market. For the purpose of valuation of exotic options embedded in structured products market prices of these options are obtained. |
Level 3: Other valuation techniques
Financial assets and liabilities, whose fair value is determined with use of valuation models, for which available input data are not derived from observable markets (unobservable input data).
The Bank classified to that category shares not listed on WSE, which are valued with internal valuation models:
a) participation units in mutual fund (Fund) - the fair value of these financial instruments is determined based on the net asset value of the Fund, i.e. the fair value of investment projects (of the companies) in the Fund, which are subject to semi-annual review or examination by the registered auditor. If the Bank used the values of the unobservable parameters, that are extreme values from the range of possible values, the fair value of the equity financial instruments could be PLN 9 832 thousand higher or PLN 9 832 thousand lower as at 31 December 2015,
b) shares of Visa Europe Limited (VEL), which were measured at fair value on the basis of information received from VEL in December 2015 about proposed participation of the Group in the settlement of transaction of VEL acquisition by Visa Inc. which is expected to amount in total EUR 88 875 079 (EUR 66 167 319 in cash, EUR 22 707 761 EUR in Visa Inc shares). The above mentioned amounts are not final and may change due to the objection submitted by the Group to the proposed method of determining the Group’s participation in the settlement of the transaction or if any objections of remaining members of VEL, costs of the transaction, as well as in the cases indicated in the documentation. Final confirmation of the amounts due to the Group should be settled by the 30 June 2016,
c) Corporate bonds recognized as investment securities available for sale and measured at fair value through profit or loss – valuation of these financial instruments is performed in accordance with a yield curve and a risk margin model. Yield curves are built based on market rates, money market data, IRS transactions market. Credit margins are determined on the basis of initial margins modified by credit indices quotes ascribed to issuers based on their ratings and business sector.
The impact of parameters estimated on measurement of financial instruments at fair value, for which the Bank uses fair value measurement on Level 3 as at 31 December 2015 is as follows:
Financial instrument | Valuation technique | Unobservablefactor | Fair value by | |
positivescenario | negativescenario | |||
Investment securities available for sale | ||||
Shares in joint investment institutions - Fund | Net Asset Value (NAV) method | price fora participation unit | 206 475 | 186 811 |
Shares Visa Europe Limited | announced transaction price (the amount of cash and the value of shares in Visa Inc.) and the discount applied to the valuation of the shares in the costs of potential future lawsuits and the limited liquidity of these shares | the final value of the Bank's share in the settlement of transactions | 378 741 | 281 972 |
Corporate bonds | Credit index method | credit spread | 3 122 174 | 3 098 729 |
Instruments transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 are based on the availability of quotations in an active market at the end of the reporting period. Transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 occurs in the situation of the conversion of an observable factor for an unobservable in the valuation or applying a new unobservable risk factor to the valuation, which also results in a significant impact on the valuation of the instrument. Transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 occurs in the situation of the conversion of an unobservable factor for an observable in the valuation or when an impact of an unobservable factor on the instrument valuation ceases to be relevant. Transfers between levels of valuation occur at the date and at the end of the reporting period. In 2015 the Group made partial transfers of corporate bonds recognized as investment securities available for sale from Level 2 to Level 1 and 3 of fair value hierarchy.
The table below presents a reconciliation during the periods of measurement from 1 January to 31 December 2015 and 2014 respectively, at fair value at level 3 of fair value hierarchy:

51.2 Financial assets and liabilities not presented at fair value in the statement of financial position
The Group holds financial assets and liabilities which are not presented at fair value in the statement of financial position.
Where there is no market value of financial instruments available, their fair values have been estimated with the use of various valuation techniques. The fair value of financial instruments was measured using a model based on estimating the present value of future cash flows by discounting them using relevant interest rates. All model calculations include certain simplifying assumptions and therefore are sensitive to those assumptions. Set out below is a summary of the main methods and assumptions used for estimation of fair values of financial instruments which are not presented at fair value.
For certain categories of financial instruments it has been assumed that their carrying amount equals approximately their fair values, which is due to lack of expected material differences between their carrying amount and their fair value resulting from the features of these groups (such as short term character, high correlation with market parameters, unique character of the instrument). This applies to the following groups of financial instruments:
- loans and advances granted by the Group to its customers: a portion of the housing loans portfolio (‘old’ housing loans portfolio), loans with no specified repayment schedule, loans payable at the moment of valuation,
- amounts of the Group due to customers: liabilities with no specified payment schedule, other specific products for which no active market exists,
- deposits and interbank placements with maturity date up to 7 days or with a variable interest rate,
- loans or advances granted and taken on interbank market at a variable interest rate (change of interest rate maximum on a 3 month basis),
- cash and balances with the central bank and amounts due to the central bank,
- other financial assets and liabilities.
For loans and advances to customers with no impairment triggers, present value of discounted cash flow model was used that includes current interest rate with credit margin risk and real maturities that steam from loan agreements. The current level of margins was calculated based on financial instrument transactions with similar risk level, that took place the last quarter that ended on the balance sheet date. For currency loans, the current loan margin for PLN loans was used and it was corrected with the cost of currency acquisition in basis-swap transaction. The valuation does not take into consideration potential currency conversion of loans denominated in CHF in regards to the draft law on possible measures to restore the equality of parties to some loan and advances agreements. For demand deposits, it is assumed that for them, the fair value equals their carrying value.
The fair value of deposits and other amounts due to customers other than banks, with specified maturities has been calculated using the discounted expected future cash flows and applying current interest rates for given deposit products. The fair value is calculated for each deposit and liability, then the fair values of the entire deposit portfolio are grouped by type of product and customer segment. The valuation does not take into consideration potential currency conversion of loans denominated in CHF in regards to the draft law on possible measures to restore the equality of parties to some loan and advances agreements. For demand deposits, it is assumed that for them, the fair value equals their carrying value.
The fair value of the subordinated debt of the Bank has been estimated based on the expected future cash flows discounted using the yield curve.
The fair value of debt securities issued by PKO Bank Polski SA has been estimated based on the expected future cash flows discounted using the current interbank interest rates.
The fair value of debt securities issued by PKO Finance AB has been estimated using Bloomberg data.
Interbank placements and deposits have been estimated based on the expected future cash flows discounted using the current interbank interest rates.
Receivables on financial lease have been estimated based on expected cash flows discounted using internal rate of return for lease transactions of the same kind, concluded by the Group in the period directly preceding the balance sheet date.
