Outlook Main takeaways for upcoming years

CET1:

Currently, management sees Basel IV CET1 target ratio of ~12.5% adequate

Excess capital:

  • Partial use in lending business to keep portfolio stable at ~ € 26.5 bn
  • Further review in 2018

Performance:

  • Plan to stabilise NII on current level
  • Future growth of total income mainly driven by NCI
  • Operating profit will benefit from total income growth, successful transformation incl. efficiency improvements

RoE:

Accordingly RoE minimum target level structure lifted from 10% to 11% pre-tax, well on track to achieve our sustainable ~12% pre-tax RoE target

Dividend:

Confirming dividend policy

Achievements:

  • Portfolio reduced: lowered NII and freed up equity
  • LLP significantly reduced
  • Admin expenses reduced
  • NCI increased

Way ahead:

  • Stabilising NII (but 'quality over quantity' still valid) and risk costs at 25-30 bps
  • Continued reduction of admin expenses (lower transformational one-offs from 2020 onwards)
  • Further growth of net commission income
  • Future excess capital from NCA-run down to be invested in CRE portfolio (depending on market conditions)

1) The future dividend policy applies provided that the dividend payments resulting from it are consistent with a long-term and sustained business development of Aareal Bank AG. In addition, the dividend payments are subject to the proviso that corresponding dividend proposals have been made by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the respective year.

Dividend policy Confirmed

Base dividend

We intend to distribute approx. 50% of the earnings per ordinary share (EpS) as base dividend

Supplementary dividend

In addition, we plan to distribute supplementary dividends, started in 2016 with 10% increasing up to 20-30% of the EpS

Prerequisites:

  • No material deterioration of the environment (with longer-term and sustainably negative effects)
  • Neither attractive investment opportunities nor positive growth environment

Appendix Basel 4 / IFRS 9 / Defaulted exposure

Basel IV effect Already fulfilling future Basel IV capital requirements

B3 RWA of 11.8 bn with current risk density of 22% would be 13.2 bn (based on 31.12.2016's risk density of 28%) Basel IV:

  • New B4-regulation triggers significant RWA-inflation
  • Low risk weighted CRE business excessively burdened
  • Resulting capital needs precociously anticipated
  • Remaining uncertainties:
  • EU implementation
  • Supervisors' decisions (e.g. on Hard test)

Others:

  • 2018 stress test might result in new SREP guidance for 2019 onwards
  • Combined efforts on internal models:
  • Final EBA requirements: Some parts delivered, QIS announced, some still open
  • TRIM exercise still ongoing
  • Internal models have to be adjusted / redesigned and approved until mid 2020 to meet EBA deadline

IFRS 9 Remarks

First Time Application

  • 1 January 2018
  • Transition effects are recognised in equity

Classification and Measurement

  • New model for the classification and measurement of financial assets (ac, fvoci or fvpl) based on business models and cash flow characteristics
  • Aareal Bank will change B/S structure to measurement categories

Impairment

  • Expected loss model:
  • Stage 1: LLP based on 12-Month expected credit losses on recognition
  • Stage 2: LLP based on lifetime expected credit losses on financial assets with significant increase in credit risk and
  • Stage 3: LLP based on lifetime expected credit losses on impaired financial assets
  • No LLP for financial assets fvpl, as it is part of gains/losses on the corresponding line item

Financial Statements

  • B/S and P/L structure will change, eg. derecognition and modification gains / losses are added
  • Extended Notes Disclosures for impairment and hedge accounting
