Portfolio Advisory GroupMarket update Q1 2015
May 2015
This publication has been amended since publication to provide further explanation concerning our analysis of NPLs by country
Welcome to our Q1 2015 market update. In addition to the transaction market overviews, we summarise here some of the responses from buyers and sellers to the questions posed during our recently held conference.
2015 has got off to a strong start and the signs are good for another busy year in the transaction market. €20bn of portfolios have already transacted in the year, around 20% up on this time last year, and with €39bn of portfolio transactions in progress the European markets are showing no signs of slowing down.
March saw us host our annual bank restructuring conference. As evidence of the continued and rising interest in the market, more than 600 market participants took part in a lively debate with the 32 panellists. During the conference we asked delegates for their views on a range of portfolio transaction issues, as well as wider regulatory and economic questions.
An interesting theme that we have predicted for a while now, and had confirmed to us during the conference, is the expanding horizons of investors, venturing into less mature European markets in search of higher rates of return than can be achieved compared to the very competitive markets of the UK, Spainand Ireland.
Italy, CEE and Greece were all discussed in detail as the next potential markets for portfolio transaction growth and with Italy now topping the NPL league table (see next page) it is easy to see why. 55% of investors believed that CEE would be the next investment hotspot above Greece,Scandinavia and Benelux.
With investors now beginning to focus on these less mature portfolio markets, the banks will begin to come under increasing pressure to deleverage their balance sheets, particularly once increased competition on portfolio transactions narrows the bid-ask gap which has so far been a barrier to sale for a number of institutions.
As always, we hope this edition of our Market Update provides food for thought on what is happening in the portfolio transaction market and the direction in which the industry is heading.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the market please contact me, Jaime Bergaz or any one of our colleagues listed on the back page.

CEE45% of respondents believe that Poland will provide some of the best investment opportunities within CEE.
Spain65% of respondents still believe transaction volumes had not yet fully matured in Spain.
Italy69% of respondents believe an Italian “bad bank” should be created.
GreeceDespite economic turbulence, 71% of respondents did not believe that Greece would exit the Euro.
The above estimates of NPLs by country are based on PwC analysis of public data sources including data from various central banks and financial statements or presentations. We are aware that other summaries published include different balances
to the ones presented above. Our estimates are calculated based on the information available as at the date of publication and we are aware that more information becomes available over time. The data should therefore be regarded as indicative in
nature. In the interests of comparability we have not sought to restate prior year numbers. In a number of cases we estimate NPL volume by reference to data from the largest institutions in the country and do not attempt any extrapolation. It should
also be noted that the above figures do not include non-performing exposures, when these can be separately identified.

Approximately €9bn of the deals in progress are from the wind-

We are seeing increasing levels of secured retail portfolios coming to
market, partly due to the high price they command. Performing
secured retail portfolios are now beginning to attract bids in excess
of par.
PTSB has been the first Irish seller of portfolios in 2015, with
significant CRE and secured retail portfolios trading in Q1 (Project
Leinster and Munster).

The transactions in progress include two Commerzbank CRE

Secured and unsecured retail portfolios continue to dominate the
Spanish market and we expect these asset classes to continue to trade
throughout 2015.
CRE continues to be the most popularly transacted asset class in the
German market, with much of the Q1 2015 volume attributable to
Deutsche Bank’s majority sale of a €2.5bn US CRE portfolio.

There are a number of transactions in progress
