Highlights Q2/2020

Slightly positive result in the lock down quarter despite Covid-19 impacts and further successful accelerated de-risking activities

	Solid Group Financials	▪ Q2 operating profit of € 2 mn considering precautionary risk provisioning and value adjustments as well as further successful accelerated de-risking activities ▪ Strong capital, funding and liquidity position
Aareal Bank Group	Resilient Segment Performance	▪ SPF:	- New business: low LTVs and strong, significantly above plan margins partly mitigated by higher funding spreads - Precautionary model based risk provisioning and value adjustments - Italian NPLs significantly reduced (07/20)
		▪ C/S Bank:	- As expected, housing industry deposits proven stable - Commission income increased in line with guidance
		▪ Aareon:	- Remaining on track, Covid-19 seen as mid-term catalyst for digitisation - Strong sales of digital products
	Outlook1)	From today's point of view, Aareal Bank Group remains confident that it can achieve a substantially positive consolidated operating profit for the 2020 financial year, i.e. in the mid- to upper double-digit euro million range. Further effects from potential accelerated de-risking measures are not included.

1) Naturally, in the current environment, this forecast is subject to significant uncertainty, especially with regard to the assumed duration and intensity of the crisis, the pace of recovery and the associated effects on our clients, as well as prevailing unclear regulatory and accounting provisions, and the possibility that individual loan defaults cannot be reliably predicted

• Significant CET1, AT1 and T2 buffers; continuously reviewed regarding optimisation potential in the context of the total capital management and group strategy
• T1-Leverage ratio still 5.8% despite TLTRO participation
• Remaining regulatory uncertainties (models, ICAAP, ILAAP, B4 etc.): modelled RWA's may further inflate

2) Ratings not yet reflecting potential changes from management overlays

3) When calculating own funds as at 30 June 2020, interim profits were taken into account, deducting the pro-rata dividend in line with the dividend policy, and incorporating the pro-rata accrual of net interest payable on the AT1 bond. Moreover, the expected relevant impact of the TRIM exercise on commercial property financings, and of the SREP recommendations concerning the NPL inventory as well as the ECB's NPL guidelines for exposures newly classified as NPLs, were taken into account for determining regulatory indicators.

Outlook 2020

Outlook 2020 confirmed

We had qualified our annual forecast published in the 2019 Annual Report, noting that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be reliably estimated and that it is thus impossible to anticipate the consequences for business and earnings development.

In the remaining course of the year and in addition to our strategic initiatives as part of "Aareal Next Level" we focus to overcome the challenges and impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic together with our clients.

Crucial Question:	When will the economic recovery kick-in? With what momentum?
Our assumption:	We assume a continuous normalisation of the global economy from mid 2020 onwards followed by a significant recovery ("Swoosh" shaped) in 2021 / 2022
Our Outlook:	From today's point of view, Aareal Bank Group remains confident that it can achieve a substantially positive consolidated operating profit for the 2020 financial year, i.e. in the mid- to upper double-digit euro million range. Further effects from potential accelerated de-risking measures are not included.

Naturally, in the current environment, this forecast is subject to significant uncertainty, especially with regard to the assumed duration and intensity of the crisis, the pace of recovery and the associated effects on our clients, as well as prevailing unclear regulatory and accounting provisions, and the possibility that individual loan defaults cannot be reliably predicted.

ESG initiatives Investing in the transition to a low-carbon economy

ESG supportive regulation – facilitating energy-efficient modernisation / renovation loans

Aareal supports an ESG-based regulation of refurbishments

"I believe that fundamental renovations aimed at improving the life cycle assessment of a building should be supported by the regulatory authorities and not penalized. Of course, one can subsume renovations under "risky" property development and then attach correspondingly high capital requirements to them. On the other hand, if you don't completely renovate a building you will hardly be able to immediately meet the next climate standard. …

I am not talking about reducing capital adequacy requirements at all. But we would have gained a lot if refurbishment didn't necessarily trigger an increase. …" Hermann J. Merkens, BÖZ, 19. Juni 2020

+

of the earnings per ordinary share (EpS) as base dividend

▪ We intend to distribute approx. 50%

▪ In addition, we plan to distribute supplementary dividends of up to 20-30% of the EpS under the following prerequisites:

▫ No material deterioration of the

environment (with longer-term and sustainably negative effects)

Supplementary Dividend

Payout ratio of up to 80% confirmed Significant book value per share growth incl. dividend

▪ Attractive dividend policy and significant book value growth creating sustainable value for Aareal and hence our shareholders

Regulation

Economic ICAAP the next focus on the regulatory agenda – our reading and take away

1

Normative internal perspective

• Medium-term projections for at least three years:
• Ensure the ongoing fulfillment of OCR plus P2G in the baseline, and TSCR in adverse scenarios
• Takes into account all material risks (not limited to Pillar 1 risks)
• Considers upcoming changes in the legal / regulatory / accounting framework
• Adequate and consistent internal methods to quantifying impacts on Pillar 1 ratios
• Additional management buffers determined by the institutions
• Risks that may cause economic losses are covered by internal
• Capital adequacy concept based on economic value considerations (e.g. net present value approach)
• Internal definition of capital ▪ Point-in-time risk qualification of
• the current situation feeding into medium-term assessment covering future developments
• Adequate and consistent internal risk quantification methods
• Internal indicators, thresholds and management buffers.

Economic ICAAP on SSM priority list 2020

• Ongoing discussions regarding interpretation of requirements
• Different methods currently used throughout Europe to estimate future volatility (scenario based vs. VAR models)
• ICAAP Guidelines published end of 2018 are very conservative regarding holding period and confidential interval
• ECB aims for future harmonization (equal to TRIM?) and potential tightening

AT1 with normative triggers will no longer be eligible under Economic ICAAP: 2

Regulatory capital ratios: Future treatment appears to be more generous, although decisions will be taken on a case by case basis

▪ P2R could be partly covered by AT1 (and/or T2)

Economic ICAAP: Future requirements will be tightened

• AT1 with normative triggers not accountable any more (see ECB feedback statement; question 208)
• Interim grandfathering of existing AT1 (issued, cut off date?) not decided yet, but unlikely from our point of view
• AT1 in the economic ICAAP, currently and presumably in future no alternative instruments (beside CET1) available to fulfil ECB requirements (economic triggers instead of normative)

▪ Economic ICAAP to become the new capital constraint for European banks?

1) Different risk categories regarding regulatory capital ratios and economic ICAAP
