ANNEX XIREPORTING ON LEVERAGE

PART I: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Template labelling and other conventions

1.1. Template labelling

1.This Annex contains additional instructions for the Leverage Ratio (hereinafter ‘LR’) templates included in Annex X of this Standard.

2.Overall, the framework consists of seven templates:

Leverage Ratio Calculation (LRCalc): Leverage ratio calculation
Leverage Ratio Template 1 (LR1): Alternative treatment of the exposure measure
Leverage Ratio Template 2 (LR2): On and off-balance sheet items — additional breakdown of exposures
Leverage Ratio Template 3 (LR3): Alternative definition of capital
Leverage Ratio Template 4 (LR4): Breakdown of leverage ratio exposure measure components
Leverage Ratio Template 5 (LR5): General information
Leverage Ratio Template 6 (LR6): Entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes but are not within the scope of prudential consolidation.

3.For each template legal references are provided as well as further detailed information regarding more general aspects of the reporting.

1.2. Numbering convention

4.The document will follow the labelling convention set in the following paragraphs, when referring to the columns, rows and fields of the templates. These numerical codes are extensively used in the validation rules.

5.The following general notation is followed in the instructions: {Template;Row;Column}. An asterisk sign will be used to express that the validation is done for the whole row or column.

6.In the case of validations within a template, where only data points from that template are used, notations will not refer to a template: {Row;Column}.

7.For the purpose of the reporting on leverage, ‘of which’ refers to an item that is a subset of a higher level exposure category whereas ‘memo item’ refers to a separate item that is not a subset of an exposure class. Reporting of both types of fields is mandatory unless otherwise specified.

1.3. Sign convention

8.All amounts shall be reported as positive figures. An exception are the amounts reported in {LRCalc;110;1}, {LRCalc;110;2}, {LRCalc;110;3}, {LRCalc;120;1}, {LRCalc;120;2}, {LRCalc;120;3}, {LRCalc;150;1}, {LRCalc;150;2}, {LRCalc;150;3}, {LRCalc;160;1}, {LRCalc;160;2}, {LRCalc;160;3}, {LRCalc;170;1}, {LRCalc;170;2}, {LRCalc;170;3}, {LRCalc;180;1}, {LRCalc;180;2}, {LRCalc;180;3}, {LRCalc;190;1}, {LRCalc;190;2}, {LRCalc;190;3}, {LR3;010;1}, LR3;020;1}, {LR3;030;1}, {LR3;040;1}, {LR3;050;1}, {LR3;060;1}, {LR3;070;1} and LR3;080;1} which can either take positive or negative values. Thereby note that, apart from extreme cases, {LRCalc;150;1}, {LRCalc;150;2}, {LRCalc;150;3}, {LRCalc;170;1}, {LRCalc;170;2}, {LRCalc;170;3}, {LR3;050;1}, {LR3;060;1}, {LR3;070;1} and {LR3;080;1} only take negative values. Also note that, apart from extreme cases, {LRCalc;110;1}, {LRCalc;110;2}, {LRCalc;110;3}, {LRCalc;120;1}, {LRCalc;120;2}, {LRCalc;120;3}, {LRCalc;180;1}, {LRCalc;180;2}, {LRCalc;180;3}, {LRCalc;190;1}, {LRCalc;190;2}, {LRCalc;190;3}, {LR3;010;1}, {LR3;020;1}, {LR3;030;1}, LR3;040;1} only take positive values.

PART II: TEMPLATE RELATED INSTRUCTIONS

1. Structure and frequency

1.The leverage ratio template is divided into two parts. Part A comprises all the data items that enter into the calculation of the leverage ratio that institutions shall submit to competent authorities according to Article 430(1), 1st subparagraph, of the CRR, while Part B comprises all the data items that institutions shall submit according to Article 430(1), 2nd subparagraph of the CRR (ie for the purposes of the report referred to in Article 511 of the CRR).

2.In Part A, institutions shall report end-of-month values unless the derogation specified in Article 499(3) of the CRR applies. In Part B, institutions shall report end-of-quarter values.

3.When compiling the data for this ITS, institutions shall consider the treatment of fiduciary assets in accordance with Article 429(11) of the CRR.

2. Formulas for leverage ratio calculation

4.The leverage ratio is based on a capital measure and a total exposure measure, which can be calculated with fields from Part A.

13.When the derogation specified in Article 499 (3) of the CRR applies, the leverage ratio — fully phased-in definition is equal to LR month 3 (PI) and the leverage ratio — transitional definition is equal to LR month 3 (T).

3. Materiality thresholds for derivatives

14.In order to reduce the reporting burden for institutions with limited exposures in derivatives, the following measures are used to gauge the relative importance of derivatives exposures to the total exposure of the leverage ratio. Institutions shall calculate these measures as follows:

15.

16.Where total exposure measure is equal to: [{LRCalc;010;3} + {LRCalc;020;3} + {LRCalc;030;3} + {LRCalc;040;3} + {LRCalc;050;3} + {LRCalc;060;3} + {LRCalc;070;3} + {LRCalc;080;3} + {LRCalc;090;3} + {LRCalc;100;3} + {LRCalc;130;3} + {LRCalc;150;3} — {LRCalc;160;3}]

17.Total notional value of derivatives = {LR1; 010; 7}

18.Credit derivatives volume = {LR1;020;7} + {LR1;050;7}

19.Institutions are required to report the fields referred to in paragraph 22 in the next reporting period, if one of the following conditions is met:

The derivatives share referred to in paragraph 15 is more than 1.5 % on two consecutive reporting reference dates; or
The derivatives share referred to in paragraph 15 exceeds 2.0 %.

20.Institutions for which the total notional value of derivatives as defined in paragraph 17 exceeds 10 billion € must report the fields referred to in paragraph 22, even though their derivatives share does not fulfil the conditions described in paragraph 19.

21.Institutions are required to report the fields referred to in paragraph 23 if one of the following conditions is met:

The credit derivatives volume referred to in paragraph 18 is more than 300 million € on two consecutive reporting reference dates; or
The credit derivatives volume referred to in paragraph 18 exceeds 500 million €.

23.{LR1;050;8}, {LR1;050;9},{LR1;050;10},{LR1;050;11}.

4. LRCalc: Leverage ratio calculation

24.This part of the reporting template collects the data that are needed to calculate the leverage ratio as defined in Article 429 of the CRR.

25.Since the leverage ratio shall be calculated ‘as the simple arithmetic mean of the monthly leverage ratios over a quarter’, institutions shall report the components at an end-of-month basis unless the derogation specified in Article 499(3) of the CRR applies. If the latter is the case, institutions shall only report values in column 3 of LRCalc.

26.Institutions shall perform the reporting of the leverage ratio quarterly. In each quarter, the ‘Month-1-value’ shall be the value at the last calendar day of the first month of the respective quarter, the ‘Month-2-value’ shall be the value at the last calendar day of the second month of the respective quarter and the ‘Month-3-value’ shall be the value at the last calendar day of the third month of the respective quarter.

ANNEX XI Table 1: rows 1 - 29

5. LR1 on alternative treatment of the Exposure Measure

27.This part of the reporting collects data on alternative treatment of derivatives, repurchase transactions, securities or commodities lending or borrowing transactions, long settlement transactions and margin lending transactions, and off-balance sheet items.

28.Institutions shall determine the ‘accounting balance sheet values’ in LR1 based on the applicable accounting framework in accordance with Article 4(1)(77) of the CRR. ‘Accounting value assuming not netting or other CRM’ refers to the accounting balance sheet value not taking into account any effects of netting or risk mitigation.

ANNEX XI Table 2: rows 1 - 50

6. LR2 On- and off-balance sheet items — additional breakdown of exposures

29.Panel LR2 provides information on additional breakdown items of all on and off balance sheet exposures(1) belonging to the non-trading book and of all exposures of the trading book subject to counterparty credit risk. The breakdown is according to the risk weights applied under the credit risk section of the CRR. The information is derived differently for exposures under respectively the standardised and the IRB approach.

30.For exposures supported by credit risk mitigation techniques implying the substitution of the risk weighting of the counterparty with the risk weighting of the guarantee, institutions shall refer to the risk weight after the substitution effect. Under the internal ratings-based approach for credit risk, institutions shall proceed with the following calculation: for exposures (other than those for which specific regulatory risk weights are provided for) belonging to each obligor grade, the risk weight shall be derived by dividing the risk weighted exposure obtained from the risk weight formula or the supervisory formula (for credit risk and securitisations exposures, respectively) by the exposure value after taking into account inflows and outflows due to CRM techniques with substitution effect on the exposure. Under the internal ratings-based approach, exposures classified as in default shall be excluded from rows 020 to 090 and included in row 100.

31.Under both approaches, institutions shall consider exposures deducted from the regulatory capital as being applied a 1 250 % risk weight.
