UniCredit’s Post

ANYONE UP FOR A GAME? This week I had the opportunity to play at the golf tournament of UniCredit Bank CZ & SK. Golf is quite a unique sport. Along with playing, you can spend time talking to people. And it has more parallels to business than one would think. 1. You have to play smarter, not harder. In each case, smarter first. Then harder. The lighter the swing with better technique, the longer and more accurate the shots. And the harder the swing, usually the worse the result. Don't take me wrong, the swing has to be properly timed, well executed, with energy, swiftness... But do not use force unless you are in a very deep rough ;) 2. Let go of your ego. Yeah, we all imagine the best possible shot. Playing with the wood right on the green, playing the longest iron we have in the bag, doing a magical draw shot with exactly the curve we want to pass that dog leg... But no, that's not how the game is played. It's not about your biggest opportunity, it's about your biggest risk. It's not about the best shots in your life. It's about consistency. Choose the club you can hit reasonably well. Aim well. Factor in the hazards along the way and consider the worst possible outcome. 3. Communication and joy of the game. You play with people. That means - emotions are healthy. If you are nervous, don't fight it, accept it. However, you are responsible for your thoughts. And for your energy towards others. The purpose of the game can vary with each of us. For some it is the beat possible result, for some it's to play a game they'd be happy with. But all of us have one wish in common - to enjoy the game. You get an amazing opportunity to know great people, share your experience, build friendships and relationships. Isn't that what life is about in the end? Thank you Ivan Vrbjar for the invitation. And thank you Zdenko Hoschek and Martin Kompan for great game! #emark #inphinity #unicreditbank

From the beginning, I have been clear in my ambition as CEO of UniCredit: we will turn the bank into a leader that delivers long-term, quality growth for all our stakeholders in Europe. Three years later, I can confidently say that our efforts are working. UniCredit has once again broken boundaries with its best year yet, significantly surpassing our initial ambitions in the UniCredit Unlocked plan. We have achieved a record net profit for the full year – EUR 8.6bn – and our 12th consecutive quarter of quality growth. This achievement in a short span of time is something to celebrate, but it is not merely a phenomenon or the result of luck. It is the result of a firm commitment to our industrial transformation across our 13 banks, putting our clients and their success at the centre of everything we do – and this is far from over. The journey of our transformation is not complete. While we have come far, there is still a way to go before we can say we have built UniCredit into the leader I know, and we know, it can be. Having built a strong foundation in 2023, in 2024 we will continue this step-change and set the stage for the next phase of UniCredit’s growth. I wish to thank my colleagues for their hard work and dedication, which have enabled us to deliver exceptionally. We are now a better bank – for the people who work with it, who work for it, and for Europe. It is this that gives me the confidence to say we will be the bank for Europe’s future, by maintaining our energy and building on our excellent progress. Our work is not over yet – the months ahead will prove that UniCredit has what it takes to be a leader. Let’s make 2024 another record-breaking year. #OneUniCredit

For many, January is a month to reflect on the year passed and the opportunities ahead. When I joined UniCredit, some questioned whether this transformation was too ambitious and too much of a hill to climb. Looking back, I see 2023 as the year that we proved them wrong, and our bank changed for the better.   We delivered 11 quarters of profitable growth, leveraged the collective strength of our thirteen banks to deliver the best for our clients, and put ESG at the heart of our business model. This is all thanks to the people at UniCredit and their drive to succeed, and the confidence our clients continue to have in us.    As we settle back into work and look ahead to this year holds, UniCredit will not be standing still, or settling for the success it has had. I know in 2024 we can push even further. We will continue to see potential where others see nothing, strengthen areas of competitive advantage, and set a new benchmark for banking in Europe.   There will no doubt be challenges that will test us and other businesses. Over the past year, many of the clients and communities we serve felt the repercussions of economic uncertainty and volatility, and they continue to do so. This makes our purpose to empower them and help them achieve success all the more important.   2024 will be about building on the solid foundation we have given ourselves, maximising our social impact across the continent, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for all our stakeholders. I am proud of how far we have come, but I am more excited about the value we are yet to unlock in this transformation and becoming a better bank for our people and Europe as a whole.   Henry Kissinger once asked: who do I call when I want to call Europe? This year we want UniCredit to be part of that answer. Welcome back everyone, the best is yet to come.   #OneUniCredit
