Reporting and disclosure

Reporting

6.1

All firms are required to report their leverage ratios as per the Reporting (CRR) Part of the PRA Rulebook. Firms subject to the leverage ratio minimum capital requirement are subject to additional reporting requirements, at the same level of application as the minimum capital requirement applies, including the calculation of the leverage ratio on an averaged basis, the countercyclical leverage ratio buffer, reporting on trading exposures that may be sources of contingent leverage risk and, where applicable, the additional leverage ratio buffer, and capital surpluses/shortfalls to the requirement.

6.2

The leverage reporting templates are set out in the following table.

Table 1 – Description of leverage reporting templates
Template Content
LV47 Reporting on the calculation of the leverage ratio, including the calculation of the leverage ratio on an average basis for firms in scope of the UK’s leverage ratio requirement.
LV40 Reporting on an alternative treatment of the exposure measure.
LV41 Reporting on an additional breakdown of on- and off-balance sheet exposures in accordance with the risk weight.[22]
LV43 Reporting on an alternative breakdown of leverage exposure measure components.
LV44 Reporting on general information.
LV49 - LV52
Reporting on trading exposures that may be sources of contingent leverage risk (additional reporting requirement only)

  • 22. This template is based on COREP template C41. Although the EBA is removing this template as part of the Taxonomy 3.0 changes, the PRA has retained this template. The data helps in monitoring the risk composition of leverage ratio exposures, supports the PRA’s supervisory activities, and provides useful information for future reviews of the leverage ratio framework.

6.3

The PRA requires firms to report templates LV40 to LV47 on a quarterly basis, and LV49 to LV52 on a semi-annual basis, with a remittance of 42 calendar days, in line with the proposed timelines for quarterly and semi-annual reporting of non-leverage information.[23] Reporting and remittance dates for each quarter of the year are outlined in the table below. Note that where the remittance day is a public holiday or falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the data shall be submitted on the following working day.

Disclosure

6.4

All firms are required to disclose their leverage ratios as per the Disclosure (CRR) Parts of the PRA Rulebook. Firms subject to the leverage ratio minimum capital requirement are subject to additional disclosure requirements, at the same level of application as the minimum capital requirement applies, in relation to averaging and the countercyclical leverage ratio buffer and, where applicable, the additional leverage ratio buffer.

6.5

Leverage ratio disclosure frequency requirements are set out within Articles 433(a)433(c) of the Disclosure (CRR) part of the PRA Rulebook. Requirements relating to the disclosure of the additional leverage ratio buffer may be set separately. The following table summarises the frequency with which firms are required to disclose leverage ratio templates:
