Regional economic growth to remain high above the Eurozone average

Group's region projected to grow at stable and healthy rates.

Economic growth of the NLB Group countries mostly accelerated YoY in Q3 2024 (from Q2), thanks strong private consumption and a smaller external trade balance deficit (vs Q2). Household consumption should strengthen going forward, while the slow euro area recovery should support the regional exporters. Public spending remains supportive.

Inflation expected to normalize across the region

The Q4 2024 inflation prints show inflation reaccelerated (YoY) related to Q3 prints in all countries of the region, due to prices of food and transport in some cases went up. Inflation is however expected to normalize across the region.

Tight labour market in the region with historically low unemployment levels 10

Labour markets are expected to remain tight…

Unemployment rate, % According to the latest available data, the regional unemployment rates moved downwards in Q3 2024 (except in Slovenia), reaching historical lows, as they converge towards those of the EA. Still, the labour markets are expected to get tighter throughout the NLB Group's region, as the region traditionally continues to suffer from an outflux of working populace.

…while government spending will have to be disciplined to preserve the welfare state and finance investments at the same time.

The EU must settle the fiscal policy challenge, if it is to preserve its welfare state. Its demographics are ageing, hence healthcare, energy, digital and public infrastructure will all need investment. Most countries of the NLB Group's region exhibit budget deficits that will have to similarly be reduced over the next couple of years. While revenue performance remains driven by strong tax revenue growth, expenditures are increasing, particularly on social benefits and pensions.

Business Performance

Income Statement

Net interest income

NII growing YoY and QoQ, while NIM is stabilizing QoQ

Net interest income of NLB Group (in EURm)

• YoY growth in interest income derived from:
  • loans to customers: EUR 140.8 million, with EUR 77.2 million to individuals and EUR 63.6 million to corporate and state
  • securities (EUR 64.3 million).
• Interest expenses increased due to higher expenses from MREL eligible funding (EUR 37.7 million), and higher expenses for customer deposits (EUR 46.8 million).
• In the last quarter of the year the Group successfully compensated the drop of interest rates with mitigation measures and important contribution from the acquired SLS Group loan portfolio (EUR 11.0 million).

Net interest margin, quarterly (in %)

13 The Group's annual net interest margin and operational business margin increased, by 0.14 p.p. YoY to 3.64% and by 0.21 p.p. to 4.97%. However, the growth in these margins was impacted by monetary easing, marked by four consecutive ECB key interest rate cuts starting in June. This decline was effectively mitigated by replacing less profitable central bank balances with a more lucrative loan portfolio acquired from the SLS Group. The downward trend in margins observed in the last quarter at NLB and SEE banks can be attributed to the declining interest rates.

NII sensitivity to interest rate shifts – NLB Group

Significantly reduced NII sensitivity

NII sensitivity to various rate shocks (Group, EURm)

Loan portfolio by type of EURIBOR (Group, 31 Dec 2024)

As a result of the balance sheet measures and a higher pace of fixed-rate lending NII sensitivity was reduced by 145 bps YtD (from -3.92% to -2.47% relative to T1 capital, or EUR 30.7 million to a level of EUR 70.7 million in case of -100 bps parallel shift). NLB Group reduced NII sensitivity in 2024 significantly by increasing fixed interest lending (EUR 2,853 million), new interest rate hedges (EUR 1,070 million), reduction of central bank balances (EUR 2,368 million), and increase of investments in high-quality debt securities (EUR 1,509 million).

Asset duration was increased in 2024 by approximately 1 year to 3.4 years, eventually remaining at a relatively closed EVE position at end of 2024.

Net non-interest income

Strong YoY growth of net fee & commission income

Net non-interest income of NLB Group (in EURm) Net fee and commission income (in EURm)

• Fee and commission being major part of the net non-interest income, recorded a 13% YoY growth.
• The growth can be attributed to the positive impact of economic activity and consumer spending, which led to higher fees acro ss banking members, renegotiated terms with service providers, and increased activity in investment funds and bancassurance.
• The QoQ decline in net fee and commission income derives mainly on the account of a one-off in NLB Komercijalna Banka, Beograd, due to adjustment of receivables related to card operations (around EUR 2 million) and some minor positive accrued revenues in the third quarter.
• NLB Skladi, Ljubljana, recorded an exceptional sale of investment funds, with EUR 395.4 million gross inflows in 2024, reflecting over a 50% YoY increase.
• The non-recurring net non-interest income was positively influenced by the early redemption of Tier 2 notes (EUR 2.7 million) in Q1 but negatively affected on the account of the modification loss recorded for interest rate regulation on housing loans in NLB Komercijalna Banka, Beograd in Q4 (EUR 3.9 million in 2024, compared to EUR 15.3 million in 2023).

Costs

Normalised CIR Ratio stable at 45.7 despite inflationary pressures and somewhat elevated IT investment

# of branches

16

Total costs in the fourth quarter amounting to EUR 178.5 million, an increase of EUR 29.8 million, of which majority (approx. EUR 24 million) is seasonal (approximately EUR 10 million in regular G&A cost seasonality and EUR 14 million of variable compensation given very strong financial performance). A smaller part is related to labour cost inflation (approximately EUR 2 million or 3% QoQ). As SLS Group was acquired in September, Q4 showed a full cost effect, being EUR 2.3 million higher QoQ. The Bank continues to accrue tax on the balance sheet in the cost item line, a EUR 8.6 million in the fourth quarter.

Total costs of the Group in 2024 amounted to EUR 602.2 million, an increase of EUR 67.2 million (BS tax of EUR 33.2 million excluded), of which approximately EUR 45 million or 9% is result of like-for-like cost increases (i.e. normalising for BS tax introduced in 2024, SLS integration, and some other smaller one-offs). This elevated cost dynamic is a reflection of the strong inflationary pressures of 2024 in HR (around EUR 30 million increase, of which EUR 23 million in banks, the rest across other core businesses) with the remainder mostly in continued investments into improvement of branches and IT environment. The considerable HR cost dynamic in the core banking o perations is a function of effects of repricing and variable compensation (EUR 31 million) more than offsetting effects of headcount reductions amounting to around EUR -8 million.

It is clear that this tension will continue to put pressure on costs in 2025 although measures to address headcount efficienc ies will be substantially increased.

Impairments and provisions

CoR is normalizing

Impairments and provisions of NLB Group (in EURm)

• The Group monitored the macroeconomic and geopolitical circumstances closely, remaining very prudent in identifying any increase in credit risk at a very early stage, and proactive in NPL management. Furthermore, unfavourable trends in the German automotive industry did not severely influence the Slovenian export-oriented industry. Still, the Bank downgraded some selected clients in Stage 2 and formed additional impairments.
• The cumulative CoR was positive, standing at 14 bps.
• The Group net established impairments and provisions for credit risk in the amount of EUR 20.6 million. The established impairments derive from portfolio development, new financing and any portfolio deterioration. In contrast, material repayments of written-off receivables and changes in models contributed to a lower total impact.
• Other impairments and provisions were net established in the amount of EUR 16.9 million. The vast majority were established mainly in the last quarter due to provisions for legal risk (o/w EUR 4.0 million in NLB and EUR 3.8 million in NLB Komercijalna Banka, Beograd) and restructuring provisions (mostly in Slovenia, EUR 2.5 million in NLB and EUR 1.4 million in Slovenian leasing companies).

Note: Credit impairments and provisions are used for calculation of CoR and represent major part of impairments and provisions for credit risk (include also credit impairments and provisions for other financial assets).

Resilient Operating Income Performance

Result reflects solid underlying performance: income growth and recent leasing acquisition, while costs were influenced by higher employee costs and the balance sheet tax in Slovenia

Net profit of NLB Group – evolution YoY (in EURm)

The financial year concluded with a strong profit after tax result at EUR 514.6 million, with pre-provision profit up a respectable 9% YoY. Profit after tax was however still down EUR 36.1 million or 7% decline compared to the previous year, which was positively influenced by the booking of deferred tax assets (EUR 61.9 million), with 2024 also showing a moderate but still positive cost of risk of 14 bps (2023 had still negative cost of risk).

Capital

Capital position enabling growth and dividend distribution

A lower SREP requirement was neutralized by a higher Countercyclical capital buffer

• As at 31 December 2024, the Group's TCR was 18.7%, decreasing by 1.5 p.p. YoY, while the CET1 ratio was 15.3%, both well above requirements.
• The lower total capital adequacy is a result of strong loan growth, which led to a higher RWA (EUR 2,878.9 million year-on-year), despite a EUR 302.1 million increase in capital year-onyear.
• The Group increased its capital mainly through the inclusion of 2024 profit in the amount of EUR 257.3 million, and revaluation adjustments in the amount of EUR 56.5 million.

27 Notes: (1)The Pillar 2 Requirement 2024 decreased by 0.28 p.p. to 2.12% due to an improved overall SREP assessment. (2) The Bank of Slovenia regulation mandates the maintenance of a systemic risk buffer for sectoral exposures: 1.0% for all retail exposures to natural persons secured by residential real estate, and 0.5% for all other exposures to natural persons. This resulted in a Systemic Risk Buffer of 0.11% in December 2024. (3) The Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCYB) for exposures in the Republic of Slovenia is set at 0.5% of the total risk exposure amount. For NLB Group, this was calculated at 0.52% in December 2024. The level of the CCYB for the NLB Group is also influenced by the CCYB buffers of its member entities (in 2024 change for NLB, NLB Banka, Skopje and

RWA structure

Prudent RWA management to improve capital ratios

RWA structure (in EURm)

On a consolidated basis, the Group uses the Standardised approach for calculating RWA for credit and market risk while using a Basic indicator approach for calculating operational risk.

In 2024, the Group's RWA for credit risk increased by EUR 2,340.3 million due to strong lending in both corporate and retail segments, of which the Summit Leasing acquisition contributed EUR +698.0 million. RWA for highrisk exposures increased due to new project financing loans and withdrawals of project finance loans approved in previous periods. Furthermore, higher RWA for liquidity assets resulted from EUR-denominated placements with central banks and liquidity surpluses placed at commercial banks.

The increase in RWAs for market risks and Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) in the amount of EUR 59.8 million during 2024 was driven by higher RWA for FX risk of EUR 58.6 million (mainly due to more opened positions in domestic currencies of non-euro subsidiary banks), higher RWA for CVA risk of EUR 2.4 million, and lower RWA for TDI risk of EUR 5.9 million (due to closed net positions from IRS) and higher RWA for position risk in CIUs of EUR 4.6 million (mostly due to inclusion of new member NLB Fondovi Skopje).

The increase in RWAs for operational risks of EUR 478.9 million YoY in 2024 resulted from higher net interest and net fee and commission income, mainly in NLB, NLB Komercijalna banka and Summit Leasing, resulting in a higher three-year average of relevant income.

NPL ratio remains stable

Gross NPL ratio within the planned framework (Group, EURm)

NPL cash and collateral coverage(1) (Group, %)

Slovenia 50% BiH 7% N. Macedonia 11% Montenegro 9% Other 8%

• In 2024, the growth of new NPLs slightly exceed repayments and recovery of existing NPLs. The acquisition of Summit leasing companies, whose loans were recognized at fair value, also contributed to the NPL increase in September.

• NPL ratio and NPE ratio at the end of 2024 remained close to a 2023 year-end level at 1.6% and 1.1%. Coverage ratio (CR1) and NPL coverage ratio (CR2) slightly decreased to 108.7% and to 62.7%, which is still well above the EU average as published by the EBA (41.6% for Q3 2024). The decrease in coverage ratios was primarily due to the new NPLs from the Summit leasing companies.

Notes: (1) Cash coverage is calculated including both individual and pool provisions and represents Coverage ratio 1. NPL specific provisions represent Coverage ratio 2.

Impairments and provisions for credit risk

Provisions established due to portfolio development and changes in models/parameters were partially offset by the release of written-off receivables in Q4

Leasing M&A

With the acquisition of Summit Leasing in September 2024 NLB became #1 in the leasing sector in Slovenia and entered Croatia through Mobil Leasing

Summit Leasing in figures; as per YE 2024

Asset portfolio split

Highlighted areas and forecast

In 2025, the contribution to profit before tax of joint entities is expected to be around EUR 20 million and grow further to exceed EUR 30 million p.a. by 2027. It includes a positive impact of EUR 3-5 million p.a. from cost synergies with expected full run-rate for 2026 onward. NLB Group's result in 2025 will be on the consolidated level further strengthened with EUR 8 million in additional funding synergies. These funding synergies will further increase with the growth of the leasing business in the coming years. The planned integration costs are EUR 8-9 million.

Realization of cost synergies, funding synergies and business activation, together with strict cost agenda, should bring CIR of the joint entity to levels below 40% in 2026.

The completion of the transaction is another step in transforming NLB Group into one of the regional champions. With this transaction, NLB became the only financial institution from the region that offers at least one form of financing in all markets of the former common country.

After the takeover of HoldCo (Summit Leasing Slovenija – SLS and Mobil Leasing – MBL), governance activities of the NLB Group were ensured (new governance rules, appointment of the Supervisory Board, and Management Board changes).

The harmonisation of both acquired entities with NLB Group standards is ongoing. The merger of both Slovenian leasing entities (NLB Lease&Go and SLS) is planned for Q2 2025. The key focus is on managing a seamless integration process to ensure a smooth transition and retain operational efficiency.

Pro-forma market share as at 30 September 2024 of the merged entity, considering the envisaged integration with NLB Lease&Go is 31.2%1, positioning the NLB Group as the market leader in the Slovenian leasing market.

M&A is one of the key pillars of NLB's Group Strategy '25–'30 execution with the recent M&A track record providing comfort over the execution risk NLB M&A Timeline

The majority of NLB Group derivatives are concluded by NLB either for hedging of the banking book or for trading with customers.

Business with customers

• Customers are mainly using plain vanilla FX and Interest rate derivatives for hedging of their business model.

Hedging

• NLB is concluding interest rate swaps in line with fair value hedge accounting rules. Micro and macro hedges are used for hedging of fixed rate loan portfolio and micro Interest rate swaps are used for the purpose of securities hedging.
• The increase in derivatives in 2024 is mainly due to hedging of issued NLB securities with the aim of NII stabilisation (EUR 1.070 million in 2024).
• Decrease of interest rate derivatives with customers in Q4 due to larger maturities and overall decrease of customer demand.
