Regional economic growth has slowed but is expected to stay above the Eurozone

Group's region continued with slow growth, and is expected to grow at rates above Eurozone average, despite the demanding macro environment…

Sources: FocusEconomics, Statistical offices, NLB Forecasts for 2023 and 2024.

The annual growth in Q2 of 2023 mostly cooled down as compared with the Q1, except for Serbia, Montenegro and Slovenia. Softer exports and retail sales readings bode poorly for external and domestic demand Household consumption already is stalling in the euro area and similar dynamics (albeit with a lag) should weigh on the region (it rebounded only in BiH during the last quarter).

…as easing but still high inflation, forces households and corporates to channel their means into deposits

The double-digit inflation that significantly weighed on households' purchasing power and consumption habits, subsided to single-digits in all countries of the NLB Group except in Serbia. However inflationary pressure started picking up again (July-August) in Slovenia, BiH, Kosovo and Montenegro, most probably due to the base effect and wage component exerting additional pressure on price levels.

Strong labour market in the region with historically low unemployment levels

Labour market is expected to remain strong…

By end of the Q2 2023, unemployment rate decreased in all countries of the Group's region. Nevertheless, the labour market is expected to stay strong over the course of this and next year with historically low unemployment levels in the NLB Group's region getting even lower. Structural unemployment remains a weakness in the NLB Group region, keeping the unemployment rate significantly higher than in the Eurozone.

Sources: FocusEconomics, statistical offices for 2022, NLB Forecasts for 2023 and 2024. Note..

…while fiscal metrics will depend on the degree of fiscal policy efficiency and prudence in attempt to address issues related to rising-cost-of-living.

Fiscal Balance, % GDP

Sources: FocusEconomics, estimation for EZ, Slovenia, Kosovo, N. Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro for 2023 and 2024.

Fiscal support measures aimed at alleviating the impact of the increase in energy prices generated notable fiscal costs that have been partially offset by increased revenues due to inflation effects. Still most countries exhibit sizable budget deficits that will only slowly be reduced in the next couple of years. Combined with tightening global financial conditions this could lead to reduced fiscal space and increased debt vulnerabilities, especially due to increased geostrategic risks and in case of Slovenia, natural disaster.

NLB operates in countries with prudent monetary policy and rising interest rates

Note: (1) Deposit facility rate stands for the rate the CB charges for excess reserves in local currency.

While some CBs never hiked their deposit facility rates above the 0% mark (Montenegro, Kosovo and BiH), others follow the path of stabilization that the ECB opted for.

Untapped growth potential with strong fundamentals

Low overall sector leverage… …with liquid banking sectors…

…and strong deposit growth supporting healthy loan growth rates.

Result before impairments and provisions w/o non-recurring income and regulatory costs

Non-recurring net non-interest income

Regulatory costs

Result before impairments and provisions amounted to EUR 439.2 million, higher QoQ and YoY. Main drivers of yearly dynamics in recurring preprovision profit:

• net interest income increased across all markets, mostly driven by increasing interest rates: EUR 248.4 million YoY
• net fee and commission income increased by 1% YoY due to increased consumption across all banking members, effectively offsetting the cancellation of high balance deposit fees in the Bank and temporary measures, particularly in Serbia

partly offset by:

• increased costs by 9% YoY, as an outcome of general inflationary trends within the region and the integration process in Slovenia (EUR 7.2 million).

EUR 4.0 million donations for flood recovery in Slovenia affected the net noninterest income of the quarter.

Resilient Operating Income Performance

Result reflects strong underlying performance, growth of net interest income and release of provisions

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

The strong performance of the NLB Group in 1-9 2023 led to a profit a.t. of EUR 386.9 million, 2% higher YoY, despite the strong influence of negative goodwill from the acquisition of N Banka (EUR 172.8 million) on last year's profit. A noteworthy result of EUR 439.2 million was also recorded in profit before impairments and provisions, marking a substantial YoY increase of EUR 208.1 million..

Business Performance

Net interest income Margin pick-up on the back of NII growth

Net interest income of NLB Group (in EURm)

• The YoY growth was supported by loan volume growth from healthy demand for loans, coupled with prevailing higher interest rates. At the same time, interest expenses predominately increased due to higher expenses incurred from wholesale funding raised for the MREL and capital requirement. Higher expenses for customer deposits also contributed to elevated interest expenses.
• Similar to the YoY comparison, the main reasons behind the QoQ increase in interest income were loan volume growth and the rising interest rates, mitigated by higher expenses for debt securities and deposits

Net interest margin, quarterly (in %)

The cumulative net interest margin of the Group increased by 1.25 p.p. YoY to 3.42% and the operational business margin by 1.21 p.p. YoY to 4.67%. Both margins continue to grow, although quarterly data already exhibits growth moderation, an indication that peak margins in 2024 remain a probable scenario.

Net non-interest income Quarterly NNII affected by donations for flood recovery

Net non-interest income of the NLB Group (in EURm)

*Other includes investment funds, guarantees, investment banking, insurance products and other services.

• A major part of the net non-interest income has been derived from the net fee and commission income.
• The overall YoY decrease in net non-interest income derives from higher regulatory charges and non-recurring income, mainly stemming from the negative effect from exchange rate differences and donations paid out.
• In Q3, the Bank donated EUR 4.0 million to 20 municipalities affected by the floods in Slovenia, which, together with exchange rate differences, affected the net non-interest income of the quarter.
• Moderate growth of 1% YoY as the NLB Group effectively countered the impact of cancelling the hig h balance deposit fee at the Bank and temporary measure, particularly in Serbia.
• Positive impact of increased economic activity and consumption on fees in all banking members.

Net fee and commission income (in EURm)

Costs Inflation and integration of N Banka affecting costs

• Total costs increased by 9% YoY; the increase was noted in the Bank and all SEE banking members and was primarily driven by a EUR 21.0 million rise in employee costs and a EUR 7.7 million increase in other general and administrative expenses.
• A large part of the rise can be attributed to inflation, the expansion in leasing companies, costs associated with the integration process of N Banka (EUR 7.2 million of integration costs in 1-9 2023) and the fact that N Banka's cost base was only partially included in total costs from the previous year. Excluding N Banka effects YoY costs growth would be 1 p.p. lower.
• On a QoQ basis, costs decreased by 2% due to cost optimisation and HR synergies related to the merger of NLB and N Banka, reduced sponsorships expenses (following a robust Q2), and lower consulting costs within the Bank.

Impairments and provisions

• The Group net released EUR 26.8 million impairments and provisions for credit risk. The releases were mainly driven by the successful collection of previously written-off receivables, the revised risk parameters, and the stable portfolio development, resulting in a negative CoR of -23 bps.
• Other impairments and provisions relate to the pending fee repayments in the Slovenian banks.
• Portfolio development in Q3 contributed to the net establishment of impairments and provisions for credit risk, deriving solely from the segment of individuals, since net release was recorded in the corporate segment.

Capital Capital position enabling growth and dividend distribution

Capital requirements 2023

• As of 30 September 2023, the TCR for the Group was 18.7%, while the CET1 ratio was 14.7%, decreasing by 0.4 p.p. YtD but still well above requirements.
• The lower total capital adequacy derives from lower capital (EUR 15.0 million YtD) and higher RWA (EUR 266.0 million YtD).
• Although the overall revaluation adjustments in 2023 YtD were positive in the amount of EUR 45.2 million, the total capital decreased by EUR 15.0 million YtD since the temporary treatment of fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) valuations for sovereign securities with the positive effect of EUR 61.7 million as at 31 December 2022 ceased to apply in January 2023.

1)The Pillar 2 Requirement 2023 decreased by 0.2 p.p. to 2.40% due to a better overall SREP assessment. 2) On April 2022, the BoS issued a new Regulation on determining the requirement to maintain a systemic risk buffer for banks and savings banks, which on 1 January 2023, introduced the systemic risk buffer rates for the 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. 3) In December 2022, the BoS raised the countercyclical capital buffer for exposures in the Republic of Slovenia from zero to 0.5% of the total risk exposure amount. Banks have to meet the requirement by 31 December 2023. 4) In September 2023, the Bank of Slovenia verified compliance with the criteria for Other Systemically Important Institutions (O-SII) and set the new values of the indicator of systemic importance and the respective buffer rates for each O-SII. The adjustment will not impact the O-SII buffer for NLB. The Bank of Slovenia has confirmed that the existing buffer of 1.25% of the total risk exposure will remain unchanged.

RWA structure

Prudent RWA management to improve capital ratios

RWA structure (in EURm)

RWA for credit risk increased by EUR 229.1 million YtD mainly due to ramping up lending activity in all the Group Banks. On the other hand, RWA decreased due to lower liquidity assets, mainly in Komercijalna Banka Beograd (maturity of several Serbian bonds and MIGA guarantee for assets at central banks). Repayments and higher impairments and provisions resulted in the RWA reduction for non-performing exposures.

The increase in RWAs for market risks and CVA (Credit Value Adjustments) in the amount of EUR 36.8 million compared to the end of 2022 is the result of a new position RWA for Equity risk in the amount of EUR 19.5 million, higher RWA for FX risk in the amount of EUR 9.3 million, higher RWA for CVA risk in the amount of EUR 9.2 million (due to new deals), and lower RWA for Traded debt instruments risk in the amount of EUR 1.2 million.

N Banka Integration

Highlights of integration process

Legal and M&A process • The legal merger was finalized on September 1st, and the technical merger took place over the weekend, concluding prior to September 4th

• ECB application final approval received in July
• Diligent approach to customer contractual obligations ensured minimum disturbance and claims from customer side during the migration process
• Proactive retention approach gave good results in preserving value of integration Clients
  • 24/7 client support, was reinforced during cutover and post-cutover period (all CC employees)
  • Strong pressure on contact centre (as expected) - about 4-times more interactions than usual traffic which started with September 1st and is already in a downtrend
  • Clients received dedicated service and assistance also in NLB branches on 1st and 2nd September, ensuring a smooth and successful integration into NLB. Practically, there was not service interruption during cutover process
  • Currently we are in stabilisation period, dealing with relatively minor events caused by integration and activation of new system modules
• Operational stabilization of N Banka achieved through several structural initiatives Employees
  • Following identified needs and leveraging on established selection processes, NLB took over in total 137 employees, 100 of them joined finally on 1st of September
  • Additional resources with relevant knowledge from N Banka have agreed to support based on temporary contracts during the stabilization after the legal and technical merger for a certain period.

• A comprehensive approach towards client communications has been developed, ensuring a steady flow, leveraging on all channels, providing relevant insights and accompanying the merger all the way until finalization of stabilization. This is considered essential for client satisfaction and engagement

Marketing & Communication

• N Banka's clients were provided with all relevant information upfront in order to manage expectations and relieve the pressure on Bank's channels
• Comprehensive communication plan has been executed through all relevant platforms, and covering both pre and post cutover period
• Final Cut-over finalized no critical issues identified, legal and technical merger of N Banka with NLB was considered as a success
• All tasks for the Cut-over weekend were completed according to plan

Integration Status

• We successfully managed to migrate the data and in parallel activate new Retail system module (loans, deposits etc.)
• Currently stabilization period is running, with aim to finalize clean-ups until end of November

Total integration cost to be covered by synergies by the end of 2025, approximately 66% of overall approved budget consumed as of end of September Integration Budget & Synergies

• As of end of September the consumption of the 2023 budget was at 45%, yet not all services have been invoiced and booked, namely certain costs (refurbishing of branches, license costs, etc.) will only be incurred after the envisaged project end.
• However current projection suggests that overall costs will remain significantly below budget, mainly driven by HR.

• Full synergy potential to be reached in 2025 (yearly run-rate of EUR 16.7 million)
• Limited synergies in 2023 due to merger in September, yet approx. 25% of run-rate synergies expected to kick-in already due to reduction of staff and G&A costs
• Updated calculation of additional MREL funding needed results in an amount of EUR 76 million (instead of EUR 125 million), ultimately leading to lower dissynergies (EUR 3 million p.a. instead of EUR 5 million p.a.)

After successful finalization of integration, focus shifted to stabilization and clean-up phase that is expected to last until end of November

Business with customers

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