Operating Income Performance Resilient Despite COVID-19

Strong underlying results backed by contribution from KB and loan loss releases

In 1-3 2021, NLB Group generated EUR 64.6 million of profit after tax, EUR 46.3 million higher YoY, o/w EUR 6.0 million from KB. Main reasons for increase are contribution from KB and release of impairments and provisions - release of net impairments and provisions in the amount of EUR 15.5 million, mostly due to repayment of several exposures and changes in the credit ratings in NLB, while in Q1 2020 establishment of EUR 28.3 million, due to changed macroeconomic parameters, that incorporated estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak.

Income Statement Bottom line affected primarily by COVID-19 related provisions

Result before impairments and provisions (Group, EURm) Contribution to the NLB Group consolidated result a.t. (EURm)

In 1-3 2021, NLB Group generated EUR 64.6 million of profit after tax, EUR 46.3 million higher YoY, o/w EUR 6.0 million from KB, as a result of:

• Net interest income increased due to the contribution of the Komercijalna Banka group (EUR 24.0 million), while it decreased in most other Group banks, in particular in the Bank (EUR 3.5 million YoY), due to lower yields of reinvested debt securities and higher volume of cash and balances with the central bank. The pressure on net interest margins in the Bank and member banks in SEE continues.
• Net fee and commission income increased YoY in NLB mostly due to repricing of packages; in other members on the same level YoY.
• Total costs decreased YoY in the Bank (EUR 3.1 million) and in Non-core members (EUR 0.7 million), while other bank members recorded an increase.
• Release of net impairments and provisions in the amount of EUR 15.5 million, mostly due to repayment of several exposures and changes in the credit ratings in NLB, while in Q1 2020 establishment of EUR 28.3 million, due to changed macroeconomic parameters, that incorporated estimated impacts of COVID-19 outbreak.

Unchanged Overall capital requirement (OCR) of 14.25% on a consolidated basis in 2021.

Capital decreased EUR 44.6 million YtD due to decrease of NCI – Minority interest in the amount of EUR 42.6 million, of which EUR 43.0 million due to Komercijalna Banka, Beograd takeover bid, after obtaining ECB approval. If as of 30 September 2021 NLB does not own 100% of Komercijalna banka, Beograd shares, the remaining part of minority interest will be included back into capital.

Negative goodwill, acknowledged by the ECB (EUR 138 mil or 110 bps), will be included in the regulatory capital after the General Meeting of shareholders, which will be held in June.

RWA structure

RWA optimization actions underway

RWA OPTIMIZATION ACTIONS:

• Decrease in KB trading book;
• Banking book portfolio optimization;
• Credit risk optimization through further engagement with MIGA;
• Third country equivalence framework for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Northern Macedonia.

RWA structure (in EURm)

RWA for credit risk increased EUR 97.6 million YtD: new production of retail and corporate loans and with investments in selected Tier 2 instruments.

As a result of RWA optimization actions some subsidiaries decreased RWA (Komercijalna Banka, Beograd EUR -49.4 million, NLB Banka, Podgorica EUR -20.1 million, NLB Banka, Prishtina EUR -19.5 million). RWA reduction is mostly result of matured government bonds and lower deposits with Central Banks.

The increase in RWA for market risks and credit value adjustments (CVA) (EUR 96.4 million) is mainly due to opening FX positions in RSD due to KB takeover.

Performance of Portfolio where Moratoria expired More than 82% of expired moratoria clients have no delays

% of DPD in total expired moratoria

PERFORMANCE OF EXPIRED PORTFOLIO – encouraging trends:

Out of expired portfolio, we observe that more than 82% of exposure have no problems with servicing their obligations.

Among the non-performing exposures, 62% are in the unlikely to pay or less than 90 days category, indicating that asset quality is behaving as expected and prepared for.

Performance of Remaining Moratorium Overview

Exposures with remaining moratoria are closely monitored

Structure of non-expired loans under moratorium (31 Mar 2021, in %)

REMAINING MORATORIUM OVERVIEW – solid coverage, small remaining exposure and short duration

• Duration of remaining moratoriums is very short more than 91% or EUR 459 million of exposure will expire by Q3 2021.
• Structure of the moratorium exposure still outstanding consists of one thirds to households and two thirds to non-financial corporations.
• Coverage ratio at 6.5% for total non-expired portfolio is double than coverage ratio for total exposure under moratoriums and what is normal for loan portfolio.

Asset Quality – NLB Group

Diversified credit portfolio, focused on core markets and cautious risk taking

Credit portfolio(1) by currency and interest rate type (Group, 31 Mar 2021)

No large concentration in any specific industry or client segment

Lending strategy focuses primarily on its core markets of retail, SME and selected corporate business activities

Great emphasis is also placed on active monitoring of credit portfolio for early detection of possible credit deterioration:

• Early warning system for detecting increased credit risk
• Close monitoring of clients with COVID-19 moratoria
• Intensive and proactive handling of problematic customers
• Cautious lending policy
• The Group is actively present on the market, financing existing and new creditworthy clients.

Asset Quality – NLB Group

NPLs fully covered by provisions and collateral

Top 20 NPLs (Group, 31 Mar 2021)

NPL by geography (Group, 31 Mar 2021) NPL cash coverage(1) (Group, %)

An important Group strength is the NPL cash coverage (CR1), which remains high at 80.0%. Further, the Group's NPL coverage ratio (CR2) stands at 56.6%, which is well above the EU average as published by the EBA.

The decrease in coverage indicators in Q4 2020 was influenced by the special treatment of NPLs from acquired entities. NPLs of KB Banks were initially recognised at fair value, without any additional credit loss allowances.

NPL cash coverage reduction in Q1 2021 mainly due to repayments and improved credit quality of some performing clients.

Asset Quality and CoR Good asset quality, decisive workout and credit rating changes leading to negative CoR

Cost of risk was negative in Q1 2021, -78 bps, due to credit risk releases coming from repayment of several exposures or changed credit ratings in Key clients and Restructuring and Workout, and a number of smaller ones. Cost of risk in 2021 is now expected to outperform the current outlook range (70-90 bps); including potential one-off effects.

Material non-performing exposure that was restructured in 2014, and was classified as non-performing, was repaid on 23 April 2021. The effect on NLB Group will be a reduction of nonperforming loans in the amount of EUR 40.8 million and a positive valuation impact of EUR 14.6 million in the income statement.

In Q1 NPL inflow was within the planned framework. More than half of the NPL inflow was observed in retail segment, while from geographical perspective, almost a third of new NPLs derived from Serbia (consolidation with NLBG rating methodology in newly acquired bank).

NPL ratio remained at last year's level at 3.5%, as well as NPE ratio at 2.3%.

Coverage ratio reduced at the end of 2020 due to recognition of loans from KB at fair value.

Digital Transformation

NLB's Digital Journey to provide a backbone for Channel Strategy

Selected Key Pillars to deliver Channel strategy:

Decrease physical footprint Decrease N^o of branches

In branches upgrade quality of advice and value adding service Decrease of cash transactions

Increase penetration of digital channels Mobile penetration rate

Proactively moving sales of simpler products to digital channels and contact center N^o of sold products through CC

Enhance contact center's capabilities to support increased digital sales and contracting for simpler products

• ➢ The presented Channel Strategy is for domestic market as Channel Strategy for subsidiary banks is being prepared.
• ➢ Strategic foreign markets where NLB currently operates are specific and each market requires customised approach and targets on delivering same set of KPIs.
• ➢ Client needs and expectations are considered together with differences in each market position of subsidiary bank.

Through improved value proposition for our clients we are increasing value for our shareholders

Increasing digital adoption – benefits for clients and for bank

• Mobile penetration(1) is based on convenience and added functionalities expected to outgrow digital penetration in the next few years. Mobile penetration increased 6,3 percentage points in 2020 based on 2019 and additional 3,4 percentage points in 1Q2021.
• Growth in 2021 and beyond should be stimulated by new digital bank switch to digital users (no more web vs. mobile as new digital offering should be launched by the year end 2021).
• We expect importance of digital channels to increase and not only by increase of demand to contract but also through contract via digital.

Digital penetration

Contact Center – to support digital transformation and to become a strong sales channel for simple products

Functional and empowered Contact center enables the bank:

• To be available 24/7/365,
• Increase Cross & Up-sell and sale conversion rates on out- and inbound contacts,
• To build a strong outbound capacity,
• Enhance on-boarding with opening business account via Video call and automation of the process for opening personal account via Video call

# of sold products (contracts)

Branch Network – optimisation of footprint and redirecting of clients

We have identified two key tasks with optimisation of branch network:

1. Further reduce branch network – savings on headcount reduction to be partly reinvested to digital solutions, training and education of branch staff, enhancing contact centre capabilities and additional remuneration.

# of employees in branches in Slovenia

• 2. Increase number and qualification of personnel that can offer value added service for clients:
  • Through employee education, licensing and training
  • Increasing sales of products with higher value added (personal finance management, asset management, insurance products and also housing loans)

(i) Net interest income from assets and liabilities with the use of FTP.

• The segment's profit before tax amounted to EUR 15.8 million, EUR 8.8 million increase YoY; this increase is mostly related to higher impairments for credit losses in Q1 2020 due to COVID -19 outbreak and lower costs.

• Net interest income was 11% lower YoY. Due to the overliquidity of the Bank, the policy to de -stimulate the deposit collection triggered the retail deposits margin after transfer price (FTP) reduction in the amount of EUR 2.1 million YoY. The interest income from loans to individuals was EUR 0.2 million lower YoY due to lower interest margin and lower portfolio of consumer loans and overdrafts, which was partially compensated with higher volumes of housing loans despite higher volumes. From 2020 on, the COVID -19 outbreak affected the new production of loans to individuals, as well as a change of legislation in the last quarter of 2019 that tightened the measures in consumer and housing lending. Despite that and as a result of several activities (marketing campaigns, individualised preapproved loan campaigns, and process improvements), consumer lending has not recorded a more substantial drop (EUR 3.7 million YtD and a EUR 31.5 million YoY decrease), while the production of new housing loans was EUR 51.2 million higher compared to Q1 2020 (Q1 2021: EUR 106.2 million). Housing loans recorded an increase in the portfolio (EUR 47.1 million YtD and EUR 146.3 million YoY), also as a result of intensive marketing campaigns and changes in pricing policy. A decrease of balances was recorded in the portfolio of overdrafts (EUR 17.6 million YoY), while cards recorded a slight increase (EUR 5.3 million YoY).

• The segment recorded the net non -interest income of EUR 22.7 million, a EUR 4.1 million (22%) increase YoY, mostly due to higher net fee and commission income (EUR 2.6 million or 13%) related mostly to package repricing and higher net fees from asset management .
• Lower costs by EUR 1.9 million (7%), due to lower employee costs (lower no. of employees) and lower G&A costs (optimized cash handling, paperless project).
• Net impairments and provisions were released in the amount of EUR 0.7 million , while in Q1 2020 additional credit impairments and provisions related to the COVID -19 outbreak were established .
• Deposits from customers increased by EUR 138.6 million (2%) YtD and EUR 877.1 million (13%) YoY, due to lower consumption and social transfers related to COVID -19 outbreak .
• Exposures subject to COVID -19 moratorium were concluded in the amount of EUR 124.9 million (4.9 % of the total retail exposure).

(i) Net interest income from assets and liabilities with the use of FTP.

• The segment's profit before tax was EUR 21.3 million, while a year before it was close to 0. The lower result last year was due to establishment of credit impairments and provisions related to COVID-19 outbreak. The profit before impairments and provisions recorded 6% increase YoY, mostly due to increased net fee and commission income.
• Net interest income decreased by EUR 0.4 million YoY. Due to overliquidity of the Bank, the policy to de-stimulate the deposit collection triggered the corporate and state deposits margin after transfer price (FTP) reduction in the amount of EUR 0.8 million YoY. The interest income from loans to corporate and state was EUR 0.3 million higher YoY due to a slightly higher interest margin but lower average loan volume. Despite that, the volume of loans to corporate increased by EUR 60.5 million YtD, mostly due to increased volumes to Cross-border corporates and NLB Lease&Go.
• Net fee and commission income recorded 9% increase YoY, mostly due to higher deposit fee for high balances.

• Net impairments and provisions were released in the amount of EUR 11.0 million due to repayment of several exposures and changes in credit ratings. Substantial establishment in Q1 2020 was related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

• Net interest income was EUR 0.5 million (7%) lower YoY, mostly due to lower yields on securities despite higher volume and higher balances with central banks bearing negative interests.
• Lower net non-interest income, EUR 1.9 million YoY, due to sale of debt securities in Q1 2020.
• Balances with central banks decreased EUR 225.7 million YtD partially due to the transfer of funds to nostro account (purchase of additional equity of Komercijalna Banka group) and an increase of banking book securities by EUR 343.2 million or 12%. Debt securities bought were mainly placed in short-term T-bills due to lower risk factors.

Macro Overview

Economic data Fiscal data Monetary data

• The pandemic and its associated restrictions continued to weigh on economies in Q1 2021. However, the economic situation is expected to gradually improve when the pandemic is put under control and restrictions are relaxed.

• Economic growth in the Group's region should be underpinned by the revival in domestic and foreign demand.

• The cost of mitigating the pandemic will continue to be felt in 2021 although pressures on public finances are expected to ease.

• Fiscal deficits are expected to narrow and public debts are expected to be affected by narrowing fiscal deficits and the economic rebound, although set to remain elevated in comparison to pre-pandemic levels.

• The monetary policy stance have not changed in Q1 2021.

• Divergence between the growth in deposits and the credit growth persisted in Q1 2021, although different dynamics in countries in the Group's region were recorded in this regard.

Real GDP growth, %

KEY FINDINGS:

Economic implications of the Covid-19 pandemic differed between countries of the Group's region due to underlying differences in features of economies. The lowest annual contraction was registered by Serbia, while the highest contraction was experienced by Montenegro.

The Group's region is seen growing 4.6% on average this year.

Average inflation rate, %

KEY FINDINGS:

In 2020, inflation fell in countries of the Group's region, mainly because of downward pressure on consumer prices due to depressed domestic demand.

In 2021, inflation is expected to rise on the back of temporary factors' effects as well as the reopening of economies and rapid rebound. Disrupted global supply chains pose additional upside inflationary risk.

Unemployment rate, %

KEY FINDINGS:

The COVID-19 shock had only a moderate effect on unemployment rate as deeper labour market effects have been prevented by different jobs retention schemes masking the real impact of the crisis on the labour market.

Potential lagged effects when support schemes end cloud the 2021 labour market outlook.

Current account, % GDP

KEY FINDINGS:

In 2020, current accounts worsened or remained virtually intact in some countries of the Group's region, while in others improvements were recorded, depending on the underlying features of economies.

The COVID-19 shock affects external trade in the Group's region and current accounts are poised to be affected by the path of recovery in external and domestic demand.

Macro Overview – Fiscal data

Fiscal Balance, % GDP

KEY FINDINGS:

Fiscal balances were in 2020 affected by implementation of fiscal measures aimed at cushioning Covid-19 economic implications.

In 2021, fiscal deficits are expected to narrow due to growth-induced rise in budget revenues, gradual unwinding of pandemic-related emergency measures and projected rebound in economic activity.

KEY FINDINGS:

In 2020, public debts were, similarly to fiscal balances, affected by implementation of fiscal measures aimed at cushioning Covid-19 economic implications.

The cost of mitigating the pandemic will continue to be felt in 2021 and public debts are expected remain elevated in comparison to pre-pandemic levels.

Loans growth (NFC + Households), %

KEY FINDINGS:

In 2020, loan growth exhibited diverging degrees of resilience to adverse effects of weakened economies on the banking systems in the Group's region.

In the first two months of 2021, the decreasing loan growth trend, that was already established in majority of countries in 2020, continues, with BiH being an exception.

Total Loans (NBS), % GDP Macro Overview – Monetary data

KEY FINDINGS:

In 2020, loans to GDP ratios have been largely affected by economic implications of COVID-19 outbreak. Increases in loans to GDP ratios were due to substantial drops in GDP, while the effect of growth in loans was not that profound since it slowed in general.

Entire Group's region is below Eurozone average, boding well for growth potential.

NLB Group Income Statement (2/2)

Individual results of entities in Komercijalna banka group can be notably different as their contribution to NLB Group result due to initial recognition of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, as required by IFRS 3. This effects mostly the following P&L items:

• Impairment of financial instruments: some IFRS 9 methodological differences between NLB Group and Komercijalna banka group were already taken into account when calculating fair values at initial recognition (such as hair-cuts for collaterals for non-performing exposures), while in Komercijalna banka group this harmonisation is taking place during year 2021.
• Net interest income: most of securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income were acquired at a premium from NLB Group perspective, therefore their yield to maturity is lower than in Komercijalna banka standalone financial statements. Additionally, also differences between fair values of loans and deposits and their book values in Komercijalna banka at the time of acquisition are being amortised through net interest income.
• Realised gains/losses on derecognition of financial instruments: from NLB Group perspective, securities were acquired at their fair value at the time of acquisition, while from Komercijalna banka group perspective they were acquired at different, mostly lower values. Consequently, realised result on derecognition of these securities in NLB Group is different than in Komercijalna banka standalone financial statements.
• Amortisation and depreciation: At closing, NLB Group recognised in its consolidated financial statements additional intangible assets (trade name and core deposits) which are now being amortised in the period of 5 years. Additionally, there are some differences in depreciation due to recognition of real estate at fair value, which was in some cases different than net book value in Komercijalna banka standalone financial statements.
• Income taxes: deferred taxes recognised on all consolidation adjustments.
