Amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 32024R1623 · Regulation (EU) 2024/2987 32024R2987 · Regulation (EU) 2024/2795 32024R2795
applies from: unchanged
The heading now adds references to IRB shortfall and IRB excess, and the provision is restructured into numbered paragraphs (1) and (2), with paragraph 1 listing three itemised components (a), (b) and (c) to be summed and subtracted from the expected loss amounts, and stating that a positive result is called IRB excess while a negative result is called IRB shortfall.
The additional value adjustments component is narrowed to those due to counterparty default determined under Article 34 and tied to exposures whose expected loss amounts are calculated under Article 158(5), (6) and (10), whereas the prior text referred more broadly to additional value adjustments under Articles 34 and 105.
Paragraph 2 retains the treatment of discounts on defaulted balance-sheet exposures and the exclusions for securitised exposures and cross-use of specific credit risk adjustments, but now expresses these as exclusions from the calculation of IRB shortfall or IRB excess rather than from the calculation of expected loss amounts, and adds a new sentence excluding discounts on balance-sheet exposures purchased when not in default from that calculation.

Article 159 Treatment of expected loss amounts Institutions shall subtract the expected loss amounts calculated in accordance with Article 158(5), (6) and (10) from the general and specific credit risk adjustments in accordance with Article 110, additional value adjustments in accordance with Articles 34 and 105 and other own funds reductions related to those exposures except for the deductions made in accordance with point (m) Article 36(1). Discounts on balance sheet exposures purchased when in default in accordance with Article 166(1) shall be treated in the same manner as specific credit risk adjustments. Specific credit risk adjustments on exposures in default shall not be used to cover expected loss amounts on other exposures. Expected loss amounts for securitised exposures and general and specific credit risk adjustments related to those exposures shall not be included in that calculation.

Article 159 Treatment of expected loss amounts, IRB shortfall and IRB excess 1. Institutions shall subtract the expected loss amounts of exposures referred to in Article 158(5), (6) and (10) from the sum of all of the following: (a) the general and specific credit risk adjustments related to those exposures, calculated in accordance with Article 110; (b) additional value adjustments due to counterparty default determined in accordance with Article 34 and related to exposures for which the expected loss amounts are calculated in accordance with Article 158(5), (6) and (10); (c) other own funds reductions related to those exposures other than the deductions made in accordance with Article 36(1), point (m). Where the calculation performed in accordance with the first subparagraph results in a positive amount, the amount obtained shall be called IRB excess. Where the calculation performed in accordance with the first subparagraph results in a negative amount, the amount obtained shall be called IRB shortfall. 2. For the purposes of the calculation referred to in the paragraph 1 of this Article, institutions shall treat discounts determined in accordance with Article 166(1) on balance-sheet exposures purchased when in default in the same manner as specific credit risk adjustments. Discounts on balance-sheet exposures purchased when not in default shall not be allowed to be included in the calculation of the IRB shortfall or IRB excess. Specific credit risk adjustments on exposures in default shall not be used to cover expected loss amounts on other exposures. Expected loss amounts for securitised exposures and general and specific credit risk adjustments related to those exposures shall not be included in the calculation of the IRB shortfall or IRB excess.
