Further improvements driven by active NPL management and economic recovery

Low NPL formation drove normalisation of loan provisions (Group, EURm)(2)

Reduction of NPLs remains a key focus

• Gross NPLs at Group level reduced by EUR596m in FY'16
• Positive momentum expected through active portfolio management and macro recovery

High coverage of NPLs

• Coverage ratio reached 76% in Dec-16 due to NPL reduction, repayments and cashed collateral

Active approach to NPL management

• Strong emphasis on restructuring (over 64% of NPLs in restructuring process)
• Other NPL management tools include: debt collection, foreclosure of collateral, sale of claims, active marketing and sale of pledged assets

Note: NPL was defined until December 2014 as loan exposure to D and E clients/claims and delays over 90 days from loans to A, B and C classified clients. Since customers with loans (in arrears over) with 90 days past due should be classified in non-performing grade (D or E), NPL definition changed and from 31.12.2014 include only D and E exposures; NPLs, NPL ratio and NPL cash coverage based on Credit portfolio;

Slovenian banking sector turnaround with vastly improved funding, asset quality and capital position

Sector NPE ratio evolution(1)

Sector CET1 and L/D ratio evolution

Overview of 2013 extraordinary measures

• Significant contraction of economic activity since 2009 paired with high indebtedness of corporate sector drove NPEs to unprecedented levels
• Asset Quality Review (AQR) undertaken in 2013 identified EUR 3.3bn(2) capital shortfall at systemic banks

• Extraordinary measures included:

  • write-off of existing shareholders and holders of subordinated instruments
  • capital increase by RoS 100% state ownership of banks (NLB, NKBM, Banka Celje and Abanka)
  • transfer of EUR 3.3bn non-performing claims(3) to State-owned BAMC(4) leading to substantial losses for local banks

• Profitability of Slovenian banking sector returned to positive levels in 2015

• NPE ratio (according to the harmonised definition of EBA) decreased to 9.1%, as a consequence of active NPE management by local banks
• L/D ratio decreased by ~65p.p. since 2010 to 81% as a result of stricter loan policies, low demand for loans and "cash-rich" retail and corporate sector
• Sale of NKBM completed while Abanka and Banka Celje completed merger
