2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Outflows must equal the sum of its ten parts (EBA rule v8045_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 24.01, loans and advances: inflows and outflows of non-performing exposures.

The rule in plain words

Outflows must equal these ten added up:

  • Outflow due to reclassification as performing not forborne
  • Outflow due to reclassification as performing forborne
  • Outflow due to partial or total loan repayment
  • Outflow due to collateral liquidations
  • Outflow due to taking possession of collateral
  • Outflow due to sale of instruments
  • Outflow due to risk transfers
  • Outflow due to write-offs
  • Outflow due to reclassification as held for sale
  • Outflow due to other reasons

EBA checks it for seven columns: non-performing exposures - loans and advances, households, loans collateralised by residential immovable property, non-financial corporations, SMEs, commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, and commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to NFCs other than SMEs. That makes seven checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

of which: Non-financial corporations: Outflows = Outflow due to reclassification as performing not forborne + Outflow due to reclassification as performing forborne + Outflow due to partial or total loan repayment + Outflow due to collateral liquidations + Outflow due to taking possession of collateral + Outflow due to sale of instruments + Outflow due to risk transfers + Outflow due to write-offs + Outflow due to reclassification as held for sale + Outflow due to other reasons

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 24.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
